Oakland 1 Tribune May 11, 1963. A GUARDIAN LION GETS A LIFT TO KNOWLAND STATE PARK Raymond Miller (left) and Supervisor Emanuel Razeto watch lions move From Metal Stone Lions Holland Booming, Really Made Says Dutch Envoy Alameda County's "stone" lion guardians, which have been sentinels before the portals of the old Hall of Records building at 4th St. and Broadway since before the turn of the century, aren't stone at all. "They're really iron or some other metal," revealed Supervisor Emanuel Razeto, chairman of the board's public works committee. "Most everyone has believed they were stone or concrete underneath the paint," Razeto said.

"But them and they ring like a bell." Razeto, who believes the liens. no matter what they are made of, should have a place of honor "for protecting our records so faithfully through the years," watched them removed from their original location Friday by an Oakland Park Department crew. Also present was Raymond Miller, who heads the advisory committee of the Eastbay Botanical and Society. The board of supervisors last week agreed that the two statues should be entrusted to Knowland State Park in East Oakland, where they will be placed at the entrance of the zoological gardens. The brick structure they've guarded so long soon will be razed.

The Welfare Department, which formerly used the antiquated building, moved recently to new quarters across Broadway. Old photographs indicate the lions were an integral part of the original Victorian design, which before 1930 included two front wall plaques of lions and a dozen bearded gargoyles at the eaves. DR. JAN VAN ROIJEN Netherlands ambassador Fire Safety Job to Start In 2 Schools ALBANY-A low bid of $62,765 for fire safety work at Marin and Cornell schools has been accepted by the Albany board of education. The bid by Chamberlain Construction Co.

of Berkeley was referred to the architect, B. Reede Hardman, for some possible changes since the original estimated cost of the proposed work had been set at $42,000. Superintendent of Schools Kenneth Forry said the plan was to go as far as possible on the money available. A second bid received was considerably higher. The work involves sprinkler, fire alarm, electrical and heating alterations to bring the schools up to required emergency and safety regulations.

OBITUARIES Mrs. Eva Hatch Funeral services will be held Tuesday for Mrs. Eva Hatch, 59, widow of a former Oakland police lieutenant. Mrs. Hatch was killed Thursday night in an auto accident on State Highway Four just south of Rodeo.

Her late husband, Clifford A. Hatch, died in 1957 in a truck-car collision and explosion near Bakersfield. He retired from the Oakland force in 1950 after 25 years of service. Mrs. Hatch lived most of her life in Oakland.

Diablo Scout Council Rejects Consolidation Plan MARTINEZ The Mt. Diablo Boy Scout Council has voted to reject the proposed consolidation of seven Bay Area councils into a regional Boy Scout jurisdiction. The action was taken at a dinner meeting here after a report by a special study committee headed by A. F. Bray of Martinez, Justice of the State District Court of Appeals.

Unification was suggested by a special commission in 1961. So far, only' the Oakland Council has given the idea final approval. Mt. Diablo, with a membership of 15,500 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Explorers in Contra Costa County, Berkeley and Albany, is the second council to vote itself out of the proposal. The San Mateo Council previously decided against unification.

"The youth population of Contra Costa County is growing by leaps and bounds," Bray said, "which will enable the council to continue to grow in size. "Since scouting is essentially a volunteer program, (disapproval of consolidation) will- enable a closer liaison between the representatives from the communities. Action on the suggestion pending by councils in Piedmont, Alameda, San Francisco and Marin County.

SHIRTS MADE TO MEASURE BARNES WRIGHT TAILOR SHIRTMAKER 2034 BROADWAY The Holland tourist who expects to step off ship or plane into a land of windmills, wooden shoes and tulips, will be sorely disappointed. says Dr.

Jan H. van Roijen, Netherlands ambassador to the United States. Van Roijen was a luncheon guest Friday of Donald Browne, vice president and treasurer of Kaiser Industries.

of booming economic development, highly industrialized and facing a labor shortage, he said. Forty-two per cent of the economy is industrial, only 12 per cent agrarian, Dr. Roijen said. Like the other Common Market countries, Holland has enjoyed rapid industrial growth since World War II, registering an increase of 30 per cent as compared with 14 per cent in the United Kingdom and 18 per cent in the United States. American capital is welcomed in Holland, the ambassador said, and many firms already are established there.

U.S. INVESTMENTS There has been considerable American investment in Dutch enterprises and numerous American banks have branches in that country. Dr. van Roijen said the Netherlands' economic policy is directed toward an Atlantic partnership which rests on the United States on the one hand and on a United Europe on the other.
