City Again Rejects Hill Campus Plan Staff Kept By Council Houlihan Notes End of Hassle; 'Get Work Done' The Oakland City Council has decided that the city shall continue its redevelopment program and" that the present five-member agency shall run it. "In a way," Mayor John C. Houlihan announced to agency chairman Kenneth Smith, "this is a vote of endorsement and in another way this is a note of caution." "This has just been a skirmish," Houlihan said. "Let's get on with the work." The embattled redevelopment program, has been in open strife and confusion for three weeks since the enforced resipation of two top staff members.

The council decided the issue last night by a 6 to 2 vote ac cepting the report of a three- member fact-finding committee, headed by Councilman Felix F. Chialvo. "COMPLETE SURVEY In its report, the committee proposes a complete survey of the 1,100 homes in the 42-month- old Oak Center project and a clear-the-air public meeting be tween Oak Center residents and spokesmen of all the involved public agencies. redevelopment hassle exploded publicly April 20 when executive director Thomas Bell and his assistant Arthur Hoff, were asked to resign by the agency. This followed long-smoldering disagreement on the standards of rehabilitation being considered on the Oak Center protect, capped by a public charge of "subterfuge" by Robert McCabe, regional director of the Urban Renewal Administration.

REPORT SIGNED The committee report was signed by Chialvo and Council man Paul A. Brom. A third member, Robert McKeen, concurred in all findings and recommendations except the one on retaining the present agency membership. In a minority recommendation, he said the mayor should ask the present agency members to resign, saying he felt they were incapable of administering the muitimillion dollar project in a business-like way. Mayor John C.

Houlihan noted McKeen's request but did not respond. He quickly acted on another recommendation, however, by appointing Chialvo's committee as a permanent liaison group with the redevelopment pro gram. TWO OPPOSE REPORT Opposing the affirming redevelopment report were McKeen and Robert L. Osborne. Councilman Fred Maggiora was absent.

On the enforced resignations of Bell and Hoff, the committee made no finding. That was within the agency's prbvince, the re port said. The committee noted: The lack of a complete survey in Oak Center to determine how many homes can be rehabil itated.

Unruh today called inheritance tax appraisers "one of the most corrupting influence in California politics today." The Los Angeles Democrat thus stepped into a growing legislative controversy over the appraisers, who are appointed by State Controller Alan Cranston They appraise estates of de ceased Cahfornians and are paid with a portion of the estate. Sen. Schrade, R-San Diego, -introduced a resolution Tuesday accusing Cranston of trying to collect contributions from the appraisers, But the Senate refused to print the res olution in its journal. POLITICAL FOE Unruh, speaking at a news conference, declined to link Cranston's name with his criticism of the appraisers.

He is a political foe of the controller. Asked for comment on Gov. Brown's statement that he Unruh was a potential candi date for appointment to controller if Cranston wins the. Senate seat now held by Sen. Clair Engle, Unruh replied that the best thing that could come out of this campaign would be legislation to strip the controller of his power to ap point appraisers.

"Inheritance tax appraisers are one of the most corrupting influences in California today, he said. 'A NOTHING JOB' If the power to appoint them were stripped from the controller, said Unruh, "it would be a nothing job and nobody would want it." He noted that he has always supported legislation to take away the appointment power from the controller and place the appraisers on civil service. But he added: "The influence of these appraisers on everyone involved-including' the legislature is so potent that I couldn't even get the legislation through my own committee in 1959." Unruh said he'd continue to remain neutral or "perhaps a nonbelligerent is a better word to describe it" in the race for the Democratic senatorial nomination. DETAILS LATER Schrade declined to discuss the resolution with newsmen, saying only that all the evidence to support his charges would be unveiled later in official hearings. In his seven-page resolution, the lawmaker called for an investigation by a Senate committee of political patronage and its effect on the primary campaign.

It accused Cranston of "utilizing political tactics in the financing of his political activities by pressuring political contributions from the state inheritance tax appraisers." MAJOR OPPONENT Cranston is running for the U.S. Senate in the June 2 Democratic primary. His major opponent is Pierre Salinger, former White House press secretary.

Col. 3 Surprisingly Large Write-in Goes to Nixon WASHINGTON Sen. Barry Gold water was the top vote-getter in Tuesday's Nebraska Republican presidential preference primary, where he was the only candidate listed. But he ran into a strong tide of write-in votes for former Vice President Richard M. Nixon and others.

And the Arizona senator bare ly failed to get the majority of votes his supporters-had pre- dieted before the election. With all but a handful of precincts reporting, Goldwater had 49.9 per cent of the vote while Nix on who in 1960 had the presi dential nomination Goldwater seeks this year had a little more than 31 per cent. Goldwater's major announced rival for the nomination, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, polled a sizable vote in the uncontested West Virginia preference primary.

Rockefeller had no write-in competition because such votes are not counted in West Vir ginia. VOTE BREAKDOWN Returns from 2,040 of Nebras ka's 2,148 Drecincts eave Gold- water 65,545 votes. The write-in votes went this way: 41,272 for Nixon, 21,691 for Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, 2,255 for Rockefeller and 1,174 divided among a handful of others. In West Virginia, with 1.952 of 2,664 precincts reporting, Rockefeller had 80,001, about 64 per cent of the total vote cast in a lackluster Republican gubernatorial primary yesterday. There were no Democratic preference contests in either state, but President Johnson rolled up a substantial write-in vote in Nebraska.

With 2,025 precincts reporting he had votes. Gov. Frank Morrison had 1,858 write-in votes, Atty. Gen Robert F. Kennedy had 1,817 and Gov.

George C. Wallace of Alabama had 1,158. FAVORITE SON The vote for Gov. Morrison, who also won the Democratic nomination for a third term, apparently was a gesture to boost his vice presidential stock. Nixon's showing in Nebraska was by far his best in any of the spring primaries.

He is not an announced candidate for the nomination but has said he would accept it. A last minute drive for write-in votes, spearheaded by former Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton found fertile ground in a state which gave Nixon his biggest majority in the 1960 election per cent. West Virginia and Nebraska voters named delegates to the Republican and Democratic conventions, and also chose nominees for governor, senator and the It was not known how the six Nebraska and 14 West Virginia delegates will line up at the GOP convention, but Goldwater is expected to get some support from each group. The senator added at least six Continued Page 6, Col. 3 First Attack In Sabotage War on Cuba MIAMI The opening attack of a promised war of sabotage and harassment against the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba was reported today by an exile group a raid on a sugar mill at Puerto Pilon.

The Revolutionary Recovery Movement (MRR) reported a successful attack on the mill, but gave no details. Puerto Pilon is on the southern coast of Oriente Province, the most eastern in Cuba. Three anti-Castro groups, including MRR, have announced plans to be fighting on Cuban soil prior to Cuba's independence anniversary May 20. The MRR, organized in 1959 by students of Roman Catholic faith, is headed by Dr. Manuel Artime, formerly an officer in Castro's rebel army, and civilian chief of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April, 1961.

French at Center of NATO Row By RAYMOND LAWRENCE Foreign News Analyst France's scheme to revamp the North Atlantic Treaty Organization today was the storm center of the alliance's top coun- -cil meeting at The Hague. Outside the tfiree-hour secret session Belgium's Paul Henri-Spaak, a famous advocate of European collaboration, said he demanded that the French: "Spell out just what you think Is wron? with NATO anH hnw it should be righted. Otherwise quit rocking the boat." The AP reported from The Hague that Secretary of State Dean Rusk averted a public, clash between Spaak and French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville at the opening session of NATO ministers yesterday Other NATO devedopments: 1.

1 NBC BLASTS CBS ON EMMY 'HYPOCRISY' NEW YORK (UPI) The-National Broadcasting Company today labelled the revolt of the Columbia Broadcasting System and the American Broadcasting Company against the Emmy television awards as "a classic of a and hypocrisy with amusing overtones." NBC issued a statement saying yesterday's criticism of the awards by Fred Friendly, president of CBS News, and Thomas Moore, president of ABC-TV, "may represent an effective publicity stunt during the voting i for the Emmy awards. The winners will be announced next Tuesday by the Television Academy. Earlier Story, Page 20 placid Ml-side area, McKeen protested. He asked if there were ny way the city could withhold utilities from such a campus. The resolution said a hillside site would require additional costly streets, utilities, police and fire'protection, at the expense of Oakland citizens.

The civic center site, the council contended, would compensate for the tax loss, by its accessibility, "reasonable development costs," and the stimulation of the downtown business district. This resolution, the strongest of a series of vehement council pronouncements on the issue, comes a week after Peralta contracted with an architect for preliminary plans on the Redwood Road site. The Peralta Junior College District, which encompasses six Eastbay cities, has announced plans for two Oakland campuses and another in a city to the north. Oakland school officials last night recommended the sale of Laney Campus, the trade-technical section of Oakland City College, to the Peralta District. Superintendent Stuart S.

Phillips told the Oakland Board of Education there are no plans to use Laney for high school vocational programs. He said the Laney campus would be too costly for Oakland to operate. The Oakland board already has committed itself to lease Laney to the Peralta District for two years when the new district takes over Oakland City College on July 1. Laney Campus is being planned as the' nucleus of the proposed civic center campus complex. CITY DENIES, PAGE 16 Airliner's Recorder Assembled Civil Aeronautics Board ex perts in Washington today began a painstaking reassembly and analysis of the mgnt recorder of the Pacific Air Lines turbojet that crashed last Thurs day near Danville, bringing death to all 44 aboard.

The device, housed in an orange metal spere about as big as a basketball, is capable of recording a plane's speed, altitude and bearing on a second-to-second basis. Although the sphere was badly damaged by the crash impact, CAB officials on the scene said the Washington technicians will be able to reconstruct it and get from its metal foil graphs, which record stylus impulses to score the vital data. Examination of the recorder is the second major phase of investigation of the disaster to be centered in Washington. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents there were examining a hand believed to be that of Frank Gonzales, a passenger linked to a gun which may have been used to shoot the aircraft's pilot. The recorder was believed to have been operating up to the moment of impact.

The San Carlos firm today was awarded the site preparation contract by Coliseum, Inc. Piombo was the low bidder at $1,970,160, beating out Bragato Paving Co. of Belmont and Fred-erickson and Watson of Oakland.

i offer the free choice necessary to end de facto segregation in the schools." The Skyline open enrollment plan would open the hill area high school to 200 entering students from junior high schools throughout the city next September. The NAACP and other civil rights groups have urged boundary changes at Skyline and other Oakland schools to break up racial concentrations in the schools caused by housing patterns in the city. NAACP leaders hope the boycott will keep at least 8,000 children out of school Monday to dramatize the problem. Other civil rights groups have The Oakland City Council has invited Peralta Junior College to get out of Oakland if it won't confine itself to a proposed Civic Center site. In the second such resolution it has adopted, the council last night reaffirmed its-opposition to the college moving into a Redwood Road site in the East Oakland hills.

The council "so strongly favors the exclusive development" of the college at the civic center site, the resolution read, that if it cannot be located there, "then a site outside of the City of Oakland should be The Peralta Traard has indicated it wants both the Redwood Road and Civic Center sites. The resolution was introduced by Councilman Robert V. McKeen, who last week declared that a hillside campus would ruin the last fine residential area in the city. Among other things, a Redwood Road campus would bring a lot of "hot-rodding" into the Commission Wants Zoo Admission The Oakland Park Commis sion wants to start charging admission to Knowland Park Zoo. The fees, proposed to the City Council yesterday would be 25 cents for an adult and 10 cents for a child.

In addition, a 50 cent charge would be made for each car entering the Knowland State Park and Arboretum in which an expanded new zoo is being developed. The new charges should produce about $3,000 a month in revenue, according to Frank H. Ogawa, Park Commission chairman. He told a council budget session yesterday the charges can be justified if the council approves money for additional animals. The council gave tentative approval to the plan which includes purchase of several more monkeys, a tiger, and construction of their homes.

Ogawa said if the council does not approve purchase of the additional animals, the charge should be abandoned because the existing attractions would not justify it. The park department proposes to spend $95,000 to build primate cages and a tiger den, $5,000 for the animals, and lor utilities, storm drainage and plantings throughout the park grounds. NAACP Official Turns Down Skyline High Enrollment Plan By DICK RICCA Tribune Education Writer The new open enrollment plan for Skyline High School has been rejected by a top official of the Oakland Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Stop giving us piecemeal appeasements," Mrs. Olive Brack-ett told the Oakland Board of Education last night.

"Equality is not negotiable." Mrs. Brackett is chairman of the NAACP education committee, the group organizing a boycott against the Oakland schools next Monday. She said the open enrollment plan approved by. the board last week does no "even begin to Sterol fo rr5 i Jo? -wj.
