20 A Thursday, Oct. 21, I im. 1 PIMA OA V44II CltMlliai OA Mill 1965 U.S. Policy Draws Wave Of Support Disneyland Believed Our Industry ri Jf If WELL, YOU hear a lot jf rumors. As a matter of fact, he had heard that he himself had bought it.

When he had had enough of the questioning he courteously explained that announcements of such magnitude must follow established corporate procedure and come from a board of directors. Disney would not be free to confirm the purchase, he said, even if it were a fact. And I firmly believe it Is a fact. LAND PURCHASES recently recorded in Osceola County reveal that property adjoining and enlarging the Orange County mystery site has been bought by Anaheim, money. Anaheim is the site of Disneyland.

Original rumors of the purchase included Disney A 't'V7V, 'US, P-rN Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, called the antiwar demonstrations "tantamount to open insurrection." The Connecticut Democrat said he favored the free discussion of Viet Nam policy, but he added, "We have to draw a line, and draw it soon, and draw it hard, between the right of free speech and assembly and the right to perpetrate treason." In another development, the Rev. Edmund G. Ryan, S.

the academic dean of St. Peter's College in Jersey City, said that no action was planned against Thomas Haessler, a theology instructor who had posted $500 bond for David J. Miller, a 22-year-old pacifist indicted for burning his draft card. FATHER RYAN said that Haessler was acting within his rights as a private citizen and did not represent the college in anv wav. MARTIN'S POND PROJECT AT APOPKA $360,000 pump station and pipe line Martin's Pond Site Covered In Bond Issue WALT DISNEY AND HIS FRIENDS Pose at California's Disneyland Bidding Set For Today On Decline lando-Orange County Expressway Authority will take bids at 10 a.m.

Thursday at the Cherry Plaza Hotel for first construction on the Beeline Expressway. Chairman Richard Fletcher predicted lively competition, saying that about 20 contractors took out plans on the job. THE CONTRACT is on four-lane, divided construction for the 17 miles between Florida's 15 and 520. Later bidding will be on two-lane construction between Orange Blossom Trail and Orange Ave. on the Sand Lake-McCoy Road alignment, improving McCoy Road from Daetwyler Road to Florida 15, surfacing State Road 15 from Conway Circle to State Road 15-A and building the toll plaza to be located east of State Road 15.

Fletcher disclosed Wednesday that sale of the authority's $7 million revenue bond issue will be timed to follow the an-n ment of Orange County's mystery industry, located near the west end of the Beeline alignment. Mystery industry announcement is scheduled Nov, 15 and Fletcher said the bond sale is tentatively set for Nov. 22. Tampan's Body Found In Lake OCALA A 45-year-old Tampan was found dead in two feet of water Wednesday. Robert Lee Lanier had been missing in Graveyard Lake, near Eureka, since early Tuesday.

Residents of the area found a boat overturned and ignited the search for Lanier. 3Icrritt Property Owners Get Paid More than $111,000 was doled out to land owners on the Merritt Island site of the government's giant Moon Space project by a federal condemnation jury here late Tuesday. More than 15 tracts of land were involved. nSaaMAtomtfttei Mickey Is capable of building anything from a park to an entire city in a Central Florida pasture. Mr.

Disney's brand of talent and promotion is not a rily limited to another Disneyland. OR, AS HE put it himself, "as such." Editor's Note (Emily Bavar, Editor of Florida Magazine, just returning from a visit to Disneyland at Anaheim, near Los Angeles, where she personally interviewed Walt Disney and was his guest along with five other newspaper writers from Birmingham, Montgomery and Ft. Lauderdale, is firmly con-v i the o-called 'mystery industry' to be located on the $5 "million tract between Orlando an Kissimmee, is to be a second Disneyland. Or rather a similar development to the famous Anaheim attraction but one, perhaps with a new name and an entirely new theme. (The Sentinel printed such a prediction from her Sunday morning, wired from Disneyland.

But after her return home, and after interviewing her, editors of The Sentinel are convinced that her Sunday story was that it did not have the importance or impact it should have had and that the new project is really going to be a new type of entertainment built by the world's greatest cartoonist, movie producer, showman and world's fair exhibit maker. (After talking to Mrs. Bavar, The Sentinel is convinced the mystery industry's author, architect and builder is Walt Disney and that he will spend upwards of $30 million on it. (It will employ 5,000 persons and bring millions of people to Central Florida. It will be a city in itself, as has been predicted before by The Sentinel.

fficial announcement and confirmation of this news will come Nov. 15 when Gov. Haydon Burns will reveal it at a press conference at 2 p.m. in Orlando.) Amnna trip rnllpppe flrtrt even 'though the business is run by his brother, Roy president and chairman of the board. Domestic subsidiaries of WDP are: Buena Vista Distribution Inc.

which distributes, syndicates and sells the films, the Mickey Mouse Club TV shows, records and albums. Buena Vista International, which supervises distribution of i sjj foreign films and TV shows. WALT DISNEY Music and then spread to other businesses. BUT AS NOV. 13, date of announcement of the purchase draws near when Gov.

Burns and officials involved with the sale will be in Orlando to make the joint announcement I am more and more inclined to return to the early guess that Orange and Osceola Counties are slated to have some kind of a second Disneyland. I repeat: I have talked to no one involved in the sale. I have talked only to Mr. Disney. And I sure have talked to him: at a late morning interview in 'his office, at lunch where I sat at his right and monopolized as much of the conversation as I could; and after lunch in the brilliant California sunshine when Mr.

Disney wanted to know how his blue sky compared to ours. WALT DISNEY, 63 year-old artistic genius of the Disney empire, may not be Company and Wonderland Music Company. And Celeb rities, the hill, where the elevation is 110 feet, water will enter a 48-inch gravity pipe line extending 2,000 feet and discharging into 125-acre Lake McCoy. Lake McCoy overflows northward through a series of ponds and low spots to reach the Wekiwa River. Pipe sizes for the system are approximate at this stage of design and may be changed, Briskey noted.

THE OUTLINE in the accompanying map is for the Lake McCoy watershed. Other work may be necessary later in this watershed but it is not included in the current bond issue. Estimated cost of the Martin's Pond to Lake McCoy system is $360,000. CORRECTION In yesterday's account engineering plans for a pump station and pipe system to keep Lake Robin from future flooding The Sentinel incorrectly carried the estimated cost as $30,000. Engineers estimate the cost at $350,000.

He offered climate and population reasons why Florida would be unacceptable as a site for an amusement park and then showed how these same reasons could be overcome. YET, WALT Disney's plans for expanding his empire would not necessarily stop at another Disneyland. He indicated as much when I asked him if the New York Fair shows were moving to "Disneyland, California." "Of course," was his quick reply.

"There is only ONE Disneyland." Then, almost but not quite as an afterthought, he added, "as such." Walt Disney likes to needle reporters, particularly Florida reporters, with reasons why their state is too hot, too wet, too unpopulous, too remote and rwise unsatisfactory for a major attraction. BUT IT IS my personal belief that Walt Disney has met and conquered these reasons. I believe the imagination of the canny artist who rode to fame and fortune on an animated mouse named which owns bowling, swimming, dining and other Much of this watershed is developed and will continue to develop. A shopping center across the highway that drains into it was finished this year. The pond itself has an outlet of one sort in vertical seepage to the underground aquifer and this keeps it from rising rapidly.

THIS recharge of the underground supply is also a part of the water control program the county wants to utilize- as much as possible. For this reason, Briskey explained, the pond will be allowed to rise from its normal level of 74 feet above sea level to 78 feet before the pumps will be used. The pumping capacity will be designed to keep the pond from rising above 83 feet to protect the highway, which has a low point of 85 feet elevation. The design calls for two pumps of combined capacity of 20,000 gallons per minute, pumping into a 3 6 i diameter force main of 1,200 feet in length. THE PIPE line will go under the highway straight north and at the crest of universities where statements of support for the President were being circulated were the University of Mississippi, Michigan State and West Virginia State.

The annual blood-donor drive at Washington State University will be dedicated to assisting the military effort in Viet Nam. THE STUDENT bar association of the Fordham University School of Law established a blood bank to aid American soldiers and the Viet Namese people, as a countermeasure "to those who burn their draft cards." Stud ents at Marycrest College, a Roman Catholic institution for young women in Davenport, Iowa, voted 512-31, to support American foreign policy. At Temple University in Philadelphia, the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity opened "Operation Mail Call." Its goal is to make sure that each of the 140,000 American troops in Viet Nam gets at least one Christmas card. family en tertainment facilities.
