The Oakland Port Commission is being called on the carpet again by the city council for failure to do anything about developing the city owned industrial property it controls.

The council ordered a special meeting with the commission set as soon as possible after shying away frgm.a much more drastic measure urged by Vice Mayor Robert V. McKean. McKeen demanded last night that, all of the Industrial land adjacent to the. Nimitz Freeway be taken away from the port and placed under control of the Industrial Development Commission. TIRED OF WAITING McKeen said he is tired of waiting.

"I have sat here for three years while nothing was done except erection of a sign advertising the property," he complained. He called for immediate steps to place a measure on the June ballot which would take the land away from the port. Mayor John Houlihan called for the meeting to review progress toward utilization of the property.

GOP Can Win, Says In the Rideau case in Louis- SACRAMENTO UP) Two of Governor Brown's legislative lieutenants split with the admin--istration today over financing schools and water. The disagreement in Democratic ranks was another sign that the 1964 legislative session could be long and bitter. The lawmakers are in recess until March 2. ana, a television station filmed a confession of armed robbery, standing council policy has 1 kidnaping, and murder, and ran Porter said he wants between $16 million and $20 million in tidelands revenues to be placed in the California Water Fund.

Brown's water financing proposal, similar to, a provision" of last year's budget, would free an additional $20 million -in tide-lands money for educational spending. Porter said he plans to introduce a bill calling for increased water spending when the legislature ends its recess. He predicted Brown may end up supporting it. the film, for three days suc Chairman ContinaeJ from Page 1 tion, the three suspects were hurriedly taken from the Richmond City Jail to Municipal Court, for a highly unusual noon-hour session. Frank Gomez, 19, was formally charged with murder.

His step-brother, Edmund Bally, 21, and a friend, David Breen, were accused of harboring, con-' cealing, and aiding a felony. COUNTY JAIL The news blackout extended today to the. county jail at Martinez where the three youths are held pending a preliminary hearing set for Feb. 28. Gomez is held without bail, Breen and Baily in lieu of $55,000 bail each.

Jailer David Freitas refused to answer a query as to whether the three youths have obtained counsel. "There's a notice on the bulletin board saying we are not to give out any he told newsmen. DEPUTIES MUM Sheriffs Capt. Robert W. Fischer, who signed the notice, said the directive was intended to apply only to interviews and pictures of the accused men.

Bui jail deputies were completely mum. The three youths were not represented by attorneys when they were taken i the almost empty courtroom yesterday. 'WASN'T TOLD' Chief Brown said the hurried arraignment was a surprise to him. "I did not know about it. I was never told," he said.

He said he assumed "some of my men took them to court. I don't know." The action was by "instructions of the district attorney's office," he said. Brown called a press conference late yesterday to explain his position. "We are protecting the suspects," Brown said. "We have to protect them from prejudice." He said Mesnick refused to attend the conference.

"I invited him twice, but he said he felt he should not be here," Brown declared. NO CONTROL' "I have no control over the district attorney," Brown added. "Whpn snvs hp will nnt Hit cession.

Thompson promised to report tomorrow on results of a search for an alternate site that might satisfy the authoriay.

The council wanted to develop the property for recreation but the authority won a court fight for housing. The council refused to get involved in the controversy over pay television. It listened briefly to three speakers seeking a council resolution supporting an initiative measure "to preserve free home television in California." Houlihan pointed out long has the organization, the candi to stay clear of issues not rectly involved in municipal affairs.

In spite of arguments that most of the jurors said they did not see the TV program, the Supreme Court ordered a new trial. The Martin-Giles case in New. York was similar. Here a television reporter interviewed two 16-year-old youths at the time of their arrest and booking, and displayed the film on the air.

The State Supreme Court ruled this was prejudicial, and said a change of venue should have been granted. It ordered a new trial in another county.
