II FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1966 Charges Withdrawn in Double Murder Case But Second Suspect in Slaying of Mother, Son Held as Parole Violator BY GORDON GRANT Tlmtt Slaff Wrttar Decision Due on Rezoning Application GRANADA HILLS The City Council's Planning Committee is scheduled to make a decision Tuesday on proposed re-zoning of twin corners at San Fernando Mission and Balboa Blvds.

for a regional shopping center. Public hearings on the controversial rezoning ended Dec. 20. The committee will make a recom-mendation to the City Council. If the committee follows tradition, protesting property owners will get in a few more licks against the rezoning plans of En-c i developer Charles Kenworthy.

Charge Saturation Kenworthy is seeking rezoning from agricultural and commercial to commercial and parking for 8.5 acres on the northeast comer and 8.3 acres on the northwest corner. He has plans for a Gem-co Discount Store, satellite shops and a gasoline service station on the corners. Nearby residents have fought the rezoning all the way. They charge the rezoning is opposed to the Granada Hills Land Use Plan and that the area noiv is saturated with shopping centers and commercially zoned land. The committee meets at 1 p.m.

"Even the SO acres that Macco actually donated free in the thousand or so acres originally within the city is a drainage ditch and it is the flattest piece of any land proposed for parks. And we are paying for the rest." Bernardi said he is convinced that the Porter park land is the same kind of land developers in the Santa Monica Mountains "are begging the city to take off their hands under our so-called open space ordinance." Hits Purchase "There is no justification, in my opinion," Bernardi said, for paying one penny for this land. "If we would adopt 1965 state enabling legislation which allows cities to enact an ordinance forcing developers to donate land for parks or pay an equivalent sum, we could get this land for what it is worth nothing.

"But even if we adopted such an ordinance I would question if the city would be using good judgment in requiring the developer to give us this 403 acres. I would hope we would be more selective and want more usable land." STUDIO CITY The Rev.

The main investigation of the murders, according to Lt.

Lauritzen, has revolved around evidence that Mrs. Cook has been involved in some sort of vice operation and also had connections with what was described as "a fairly large burglary ring." Lauritzen said he had no direct knowledge of the pornographic films, since Mrs. Cook and her son moved from that house Dec. 10 to the apartment in which they were slain. The second suspect, Biehler, was arrested Saturday at his home in Cudahy.

Lauritzen said he had a record for armed robbery and was paroled last August after serving time at the California Institute for Men at Chino for his part in a S10.000 bank messenger holdup in l'JGO. Parole Violation Officers would not disclose the reasons for connecting him with the Cook murders. "After we dropped the murder charge," Lauritzen said, "the Department of Corrections ordered him held for parole violation on the basis of his known association with criminals. He will now be detained either at the County Jail or at Chino." In the meantime, two detectives assigned to the killings, Sgts. Robert T.

Smith and Norman Allen of North Hollywood Division, were reported Thursday to have extended their investigation to the San Gabriel Valley area, but the nature of their quest was not revealed.

(Steak House Room). L.A. I8S84 Ventura Blvd. Murder charges against the second of two suspects in the double killing of a North Hollywood woman and her son were dropped Thursday, police said. However, Robert LeRoy Biehler, 32, of Cudahy, will remain in custody as a parole violator, according to Det.

Lt. G. W. Lauritz-en. "He is still definitely under investigation," Lau-ritzen said.

"We had to drop the charges, at least temporarily, because of a section of the Penal Code which allows us only 48 hours in which to either get a complaint from the district attorney or arraign the suspect in court." Mother, Son Victims Mrs. Julia Cook, 38, and her son Kenneth, 16. were found shot to death in their apartment at 11930 Kling St. the night of Dec. 22.

Both had two bullet wounds in the head. A few hours after discovery of the bodies police arrested Morton Joe! Mo-lin, 27, of 4521 Colfax Ave. They said it was he who had found the pair. Molin and Mrs. Cook had been arrested together at her former home, 11729 Kling last Oct.

14, and charged with pos-session of marijuana. Their preliminary hearing was scheduled Wednesday. By that time, Molin had been freed of the murder charge. Held for Trial He appeared alone before Judge James Di Giuseppe in Van Nuys Municipal Court and was held over for Superior Court trial Jan. 11 in Department 100.

The detective who arrested him and Mrs. Cook testified he was seeking Molin on a warrant charging him with the theft of $1,700 in clothing taken from a Westwood Village store where he worked for a time. He said he found Molin asleep in Mrs. Cook's home with several packets of marijuana on a riightstand beside the bed. 'After the hearing Wednesday, the detective, Sgt.

7 agreed to credit Macco with $1,392,975 (represcnt-i land purchase and waived annexation fees) against the total annexation fee. Bernardi charges the "so called" credit is a "fraud" and gives the Recreation and Parks Department funds that should go into the general city budget. Money Uses Seen "A 1 he declared, "there are many other usable areas that we presently have that, if we are going to give money to recreation and parks, could use some of this money. "The so-called 'land bank' of park land we already have under our jurisdiction for many years could stand some development instead of this up and down canyon land we are being sold. "And it is most discouraging how anyone knowing the critical financial situation the city is in, can in clear conscience, recommend we buy this unusable land.

It is really beyond me." Bernardi said he visited all the various park locations selected by the Recreation and Park Department as a "land bank" of acreage for future municipal facilities for the 43,000 residents expected to live some day in Porter Ranch. Canyon Visited "I went into Aliso Canyon," he said, "where the city is paying the major share of a $2.6 million highway bridge across Aliso Creek. (Macco is paying $30,000.)

All -anyone has to do is read the file a matter of pub-Uic record. "When all this came up years ago I was the one who raised the issue. Now they are making the same trade they tried two years ago and the City Council turned down." Others Differ During debate over the acquisition Tuesday, several councilmen joined John Parker, executive vice president of the Macaco in stating that the city agreed to purchase the park land at a i964 raw land price and the annexation fee required of all land to the pity.
