Classified Editorial WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER II, 1968 PAGE 27 Sports Markets Judges OK Nine-Story Courts Bleb, But Supervisors Must Set Size By GIL MATTHEWS Citizen Staff Writer Pima County's 10 Superior Court judges have given tive approval to floor plans for a new nine-story county courts building. Although the Board of Supervisors still has not decided whether to adopt the judges recommendation on building size, officials said the plans will remain "valid" regardless of how many floors the actual structure entails. Depending on whether the building is seven or nine stories, roughly $5.8 to $6.5 million in bond funds will be needed. Ronald Asta, assistant county planning director, said the supervisors probably will review the plans "sometime next week." Asta explained that building size will not affect the plans because from the fourth floor up design of each floor would be substantially the same. The first floor will house offices of the court administrator and the clerk of the court.

The second floor includes a law library, jury assembly room, judges' library, lawyers' conference room and other offices. "The third floor one courtroom for Conciliation," said also will have the Court offices and rooms for visiting court commissionei on this floor." will include the Court of Asta, "And Conciliation two court- judges. The 1 also will be The fourth and fifth floors provide for six courtrooms each, judges' chambers and judges' secretarial offices, four jury deliberation rooms, court reporters' offices and one bailiff assembly room. Remaining floors will be left vacant for future expansion, but are intended eventually to house six courtrooms each for an eventual total of 30 courtrooms. Presiding Judge Robert Roylston praised the planned structure.

size of the new courtrooms will be greater than almost all of our present courtrooms. They will not be as large as rooms of the federal courts, but they will be large enough that most of our trials can be adequately handled. "The biggest problem with our present courtrooms is that they are just too small. "In addition, in some of our present courtrooms there is highly inadequate spectator seating for use in impaneling our juries." Plans for the new building call for each courtroom to be equipped with 60 spectator seats, Roylston said. He added, "We all agreed we should have an area reserved for the press in the new courtrooms, although that area hasn't been determined yet."

Winston Reynolds, an insurance man, would not discuss with newsmen why he might have been asked to appear before the jury investigating allegations of misconduct by Sheriff Waldon V. Burr. Reynolds has filed candidate's expense statements on behalf of the Burr committee in every election since 1958, when Bun- first won office. Another witness today was Range Deputy John Gammons, who testified yesterday and was ordered to return this morning with certain documents.

Gammons for years has worked with film companies making movies here, handling security jobs on their sets and arranging for other deputies to work. Gammons' testimony apparently involved whether deputies are required to pay Burr a portion of the money they earn in such outside jobs. A former deputy has charged that Burr collects 10 per cent of officers' "moonlight" pay. Yesterday, a masseuse who testified in the jury probe related to newsmen that she had been told sheriff's deputies tried to drive another woman's mas- Huge Bomb Found Beside Police Station PITTSBURGH (AP) Fifty- eight sticks of dynamite, jammed into an old five-gallon pretzel can and armed with a partly-burned fuse, were found outside a police station Tuesday night. An Army bomb disposal squad that removed the explosive charge said it would have demolished several buildings and damaged a two-block area if it had gone off.

"There was a meeting going on upstairs," said an officer at No. 3 police station in Pittsburgh's Strip District where the dynamite was discovered. "If that stuff had gone off, it would have been a massacre." Winston Reynolds sage parlor out of business by taking up positions outside the place. The masseuse, Mrs. Lorraine Ortkiese, said sheriff's officers have not used the same tactics at her place of business, Lorraine's Massage at 4910 N.

Plane Ave. Mrs. Ortkeise related that Richard C. Smith, an investigator for the county attorney, told her of the alleged harassment by deputies at the other massage parlor. Mrs.

Orlkiese, who was found guilty in 1966 of committing lewd acts in the presence of a city police officer, talked openly to reporters about her business. She said she had done nothing wrong, and claimed her clientele includes a number of locally prominent and prestigious persons. The connection between the massage parlors and the sheriff's office if any remained a mystery, however. Also appearing on subpoenas this morning were Capt. James McDonald, head of the sheriff's criminal investigation division; former jailer.

John Dore, who left the office in September, and Range Deputy Sidney Wade.

Ted Brandes.

Hoffman said the jury expressed interest in a $900 diamond-studded badge his store made for the sheriff in 1966. The badge was a birthday gift from deputies and others. Brandes, making his second appearance, declined to discuss the jury's line of questioning, but showed newsmen what he said was a record of the overtime hours he has accumulated. He said they totaled more than 685 hours. The jury today began its sixth day of investigating.

It is expected to take a four-day recess after today and convene again next Monday. By S. C. WARMAN Citizen Staff Writer Charges that Tucson High School counselors discourage Mexican-American and Negro youths from college preparatory courses were made at a special meeting last night of the Tucson Commission on Human Relations. Commission members also were told that the city recreation department is neglecting the West Side.

Speaking for Los Dorados, teen-agers complained that other parks get new buildings and equipment, but Oury Park has remained unchanged. A freshman at Tucson High, Frank Jaurigue of 802 W. Adelanto complained that, "there is nothing for young men to do at night except stand around in the center of the street." Jaurigue lives in the Pasqua Village area. RELATED Mexican-Americans Claim Lost Identity SAN ANTONIO (AP) The U.S. Civil Rights Commission heard witnesses describe the Mexican-American world Tuesday as they see it one of alienation and lost identity, one in which education beyond high school is "an impossible dream." A child is led to believe "it is bad for him to be a Mexican- American," a Rice University psychologist told the commissioners.

Two educators said the school system shouldn't bear the entire brunt of the blame. Others appearing in the seven- hour session included an El Paso principal who said he felt that after-school punishment for speaking Spanish at school had no ill effect on Mexican-American pupils. A six-day hearing on Mexican- American problems of the Southwest continued today with the emphasis again on education. Those scheduled to appear included the state commissioner of education, a state senator, the San Antonio mayor and two school superintendents. Witnesses urged Tuesday that more emphasis be placed on the Mexican-American's culture and heritage, that Spanish be a required school subject and that school districts adopt a bilingual program.

James Sutton, a San Antonio history teacher, criticized the state-adopted Texas history text TO WIPE OUT SAYINGS Clifford May Seek Added War Funds WASHINGTON (UPI) The billion that defense planners, with difficulty, saved as their share in this year's budget reduction may be wiped out at least in part by additional spending on the Vietnam War. Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford told a news conference Tuesday a supplemental budget request for Vietnam probably will be made to the new Congress next month. "It will depend upon developments mainly in South Vietnam," he said. "I think that the likelihood would be that there would be a supplemental." The $3 billion shaved from the fiscal 1969 defense budget represented its share 50 per cent.

of the $6 billion total reduction in federal spending Congress demanded in exchange for the 10 per cent income tax surcharge. Eighty per cent of the defense cut was carried out by Congress, which selected the defense programs to be reduced or deferred. Assistant defense secretary Robert Moot, the Pentagon's comptroller, told newsmen that "we are less ready to respond to any emergency" because of the economies, but the decrease in readiness had not been "dramatic." Clifford told newsmen it was his personal hope Hanoi and the United States could reach agreement on the start of mutual troop withdrawals within the next 40 days. His phrasing did not appear to indicate prospects for a supplemental defense request hinged on that. A backlog of defense proposals for the next administration, meanwhile, is accumulating both because of the economies and because of the Pentagon's social improvement programs.

A large part of the spending cut for the year ending July 1 consisted of deferred items expected to be restored by Clifford's successor. Clifford also has started programs to help make sure the Defense Department's vast spending is done in the ways most useful to improving the civilian social environment while fulfilling the military's mission. Clifford told his news conference he has contracted for a 200- family experimental military housing unit, has approved construction of model schools for military dependents overseas, has invited proposals for construction of an automated hospital and has expanded job-training in 41 cities. The economy drive delayed purchase of 20 FB111 bombers and 95 F111D jet fighter-bomb- ers at a total cost of $677 million $201 million in this fiscal year. These planes, costing around $6 million each, presumably will be in future budgets.

what he described as "Anglo-oriented" views. He said no suitable high school level Texas history book exists. All, he said, skip lightly over the state's "Hispanic heritage," delving instead into the revolt against Mexico and continuing to the present with no more mention of the Mexican impact on Texas history. Rice University psychologist Manuel Ramirez III, himself a Mexican-American, testified that the Mexican-American child is torn between his native culture and that of the Anglo. Some children are accused of being "traitors" by their parents because they have picked up Anglo ways of life, Dr.

Ramirez said. But teachers, he said, tell the Mexican-American pupil he must accept Anglo culture face economic and academic barriers for the rest of his life. Thus the pupils' very identity is threatened, Ramirez said. He based much of his testimony on a research p-oject dealing with Mexican-American and Anglo pupils which he helped direct in Sacramento, last year. Four local high school pupils testified they had been punished for speaking Spanish at school (a new rule forbids such punishment now in at least one school district here).

Jobless List Is Lowest In 15 Years WASHINGTON (UPI) The nation's unemployment in November dropped to its lowest point in 15 years, the Labor Department reported today. The November rate was 3.3 per cent, down three-tenths of one per cent from the previous month and the lowest monthly percentage since November 1953 when the jobless rate was 3.1 per cent. At the same time employment was at a record high for November 76.6 million. The unemployment figure for the month was 2.6 million, down 200,000 from October. Unemployment dropped by 100,000 for adult men in November, 75,000 for women and 25,000 for teenagers.

The charges against Tucson High were less definite. Mrs. Julia Soto, 733 N. Anita speaking as "a concerned parent" said she preferred to talk in general terms. "At Tucson High," she said, "most Mexican-American and Negro students are not encouraged to try for a higher education." She said counselors should push students toward college instead of sidetracking them into vocational courses.

Asked by Leonard L. Karter, executive secretary of the commission, what happened to Anglo students at Tucson High, Mrs. Soto said that she did not know. From the views expressed by about a dozen speakers, Karter sifted out as complaints: the need for more counseling; a poor attitude by some teachers toward Mexican-Americans; student expulsions for what those attending the meeting considered minor reasons; and a large dropout rate among black and Mexican-American students. "If necessary," Karter promised, "we will play the tape recording of this meeting to Tucson School District 1 authorities." He also said the commission staff would see that Mayor James N.

Corbett Jr. is informed of the complaints. KOLD-TV Sold To Detroit Finn KOLD-TV has been purchased by the Universal Communications Corp. of Detroit for $3.8 million, it was announced today by Tom Chauncey, president of Old Pueblo Broadcasting Co. The sale is contingent upon approval by the Federal Communications Commission.

The Channel 13 station began operations in 1053 and is managed by Paul Plunkett. Chauncey, of Phoenix, said there would be no changes in KOLD- TV personnel. He added that the sale docs not include KOLD radio or the Southern Arizona Cable CATV interest. The Universal Communications Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Evening News Association, which owns and operates the Detroit News and WWJ radio and TV stations.

President of the Evening News Association is Pter D. Clark of Detroit. Chauncey said the new owners are "highly regarded in the Detroit area," where they have been pioneers in the newspaper, radio and television industries. FBI Agents Enter Search For Black Panther Cleaver SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The federal government has entered the search for fugitive Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver on evidence of a large bank withdrawal and trip to New York by Cleaver's wife. The FBI, in nn affidavit presented Tuesday, said Kathleen Cleaver flew to New York last Sunday after withdrawing $33,000 from the couple's joint bank account, money apparently earned from sales of Cleaver's book, "Sou! On Ice." "It appears she has transported funds which are the fugitive's property for delivery and probable use outside the state the affidavit said.

The 33-year-old Cleaver disappeared Nov. 24, three days before he was due to be returned to prison as a parole violator from a 1957 assault conviction in Los Angeles. On the basis of the FBI affidavit, U. S. Commissioner Richard Goldsmith issued a federal fugitive warrant charging Cleaver with unlawful flight across state lines to avoid prosecution.

Bail was set at $100,000. Catalina Heights Area Rezonin By BILL KIMMEY Citizen Staff Writer Apartment zoning for eight city blocks in the East Specd- way-Wilmot Road area is being proposed in a sweeping rezoning headed for City Council action. The change was approved yesterday by the City Planning and Zoning Commission. A hearing and final action by the City Council probably will be scheduled for late next month. Land involved is the entire Catalina Heights Annex subdivision, lying from Speedway north to Pima Street and from Wilmot west to the Alamo Wash.

According to the plan: R-3 zoning, permitting apartment homing up to three stories, is recommended along the south side of Pima, the west side of Wilmot and on both sides of Bellevue Street. R-2 zoning, about one-third the apartment unit density of R-3, for the remainder. Samuel Sneller's original application for R-3 "with restrictions" on only two lots triggered the commission's widespread proposal. Sneller's lots are at the northwest corner of Bellevue and Rook Avenue and on the south side of Bellevue between Rook and Alamo Avenue. Sneller said he wants to build luxury apartments on the two lots.

Commissioners felt the whole Lisbon Students Ignore Teachers LISBON (UPI) Lisbon University students began the second of a two-day "mourning" period to protest the government's closing of the school's technical institute. They attended classes but ignored teachers. Is Weighed area should be considered. Mark Edson, architect and commission vice chairman, said the area "has a long history of zoning requests." The city's professional staff proposed the basic plan adopted yesterday. It was in accordance with the commission's desires to change the entire area to spur development.

All the area now is zoned for single-family residential and is "spottily developed," the staff reported. The subdivision has about 84 individual lots of various sizes. Inaugural Flight Adds Stop--Cuba MIAMI, Fla. (AP) A Trans World jetliner on an inaugural flight from St. Louis to Miami was hijacked today over Tennessee and Capt.

Dennis Maloney, with a gun at his back, flew the plane to a landing in Havana with 32 passengers and seven other crewmen. As the plane touched down at Jose Martin airport, a young Negro couple, apparently the hijackers, were escorted first off the plane by Cuban security officials. In Miami, an FBI spokesman said in reply to a question there would be an investigation to determine if the Negro man was Eldridge Cleaver, the Black Panther leader who is being sought as a parole violator and has sworn he will never return to prison. The FBI said Tuesday Cleaver's wife Kathleen had withdrawn $33,000 from his San Francisco bank account and flew last Sunday to New York. Her later whereabouts were unreported.

PLAN TRANSPORT BILL Merged Railmen Seek 'HumanFactor 5 CHICAGO (UPI) The president of a four-union merger that will become the 280,000 member United Transportation Union Jan. 1 says the goal of the organization will be to put the "human factor" back in railroading. Charles Luna, 62, said Tuesday when the merger was announced that the new union, the largest AFL-CIO transportation alliance in the nation, would begin by preparing a mass transportation bill for the 91st Congress. Luna is president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, which will merge with the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, the Switchmen's Union of North America and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen to comprise the new union. The other throe presidents- Clyde Lane of the conductors and brakemen, Neil P.

Speirs of the switchmen and H.E. Gilbert of the firemen and enginemen-- will serve as assistant presidents. All four attended the news conference Tuesday to reveal the merger and announce the total vote: 97,708 for 17,067 against. "Safety has been declining on the railroad," Luna said. "We feel it is due to the computerization of railroading --management has taken men out of the railroading industry and replaced them with a non- human response of punched cards and the unfeeling control machines.

"We want the human factor returned to railroading." He said the UTU's congressional recommendations on mass transportation would "seek to bring passenger business back to the railroads. We feel overcrowding of highways and airways makes this necessary." Luna said the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, an independent union of 36,000, had beer asked to join the merger but declined "the same day" the invitation was made. "We hope some day they will join us," he said..
