THE ARGUS Wednesday, July 14, 1971 Fremont Newark, California Page? Roy OtTocle doll's licHise Hot school issue ignites city council fist fight Two sentenced for gun holdup I once mentioned in an earlier column that, based on first impressions, I am a lousy judge of character. That is eminently true. I'm reasonably sure that, on first meeting, I would have pegged Abraham Lincoln as a ne'er-do-will and Lucrezia Borgia as the local Welcome Wagon lady. I also happen to be enormously ungifted in guessing what somebody's home will look like. I'm constantly being surprised to learn that the beer-bellied cigar-chewer who operates the downtown poolroom lives in a tidy cottage, delicately furnished in colonial maple and decorated with Currier and Ives sporting prints.

My all-time classic piece of misjudgement in The People and Their Houses field occurred a great many years ago when was on summer vacation, from college. One of my classmates lived in a tiriy, picturesque Northern California town and, just before the close of the school year, he had invited the entire class to come up and spend a few (iays in fishing, swimming, partying and general whooping-it-up. "THERE'S ONLY ONE small hotel in town," he'd said, "and it would never hold all of you. But don't worry about accommodations. Everybody in town knows everybody else, and the people are very friendly.

I'm sure I'll have no trouble in farming you out to townspeople to put up one or two needy college boys for a couple of days." About 20 of us decided to take him up on it. Upon arriving at our benefactor's hometown, a friend named Frank and I were informed that we'd be staying at the home of a prim middle-aged woman whom we came to refer to as The Music Lady, because she was the local church organist. She fitted my idea of a church organist perfectly: thin, frail, birdlike in movement, immaculately garbed in a printed dress, straw hat with flowers sitting straight across her head, and flat white shoes. She wore gold-framed rimless eyeglasses, spoke in soft, measured tones, and was (in the parlance of pre-Women's Lib) a spinster. Remarkable.

A church organist right out of Central Casting. She graciously told us that if we cared to stop by the church after the day's festivities she would drive us to her home, since this was her night for practicing the Sunday hymns. AFTER A DAY of wallowing in the joys peculiar to a small town, Frank and I arrived at the church at the appointed time and departed for home with The Music Lady. As we drove along, a picture of the house slowly began to form in mind: modest cottage; possibly a white picket fence; small rose garden. Inside, there would be antimacassars on the mohair furniture, chintz curtains, and a framed "End Of The Trail" on the living room wall.

It was dark outside when we pulled up in front of the house so I couldn't really see what the yard looked like (although I thought I could make out two' 'large overturned oil drums), but when The Music Lady unlocked the door and switched on the light? my brain ricocheted off the sides of my skull, The decor could only be described as Early Traihwreck. Virtually every square inch of floor space was jammed with discarded cans and bottles, broken orange crates, assorted items of wearing apparel, dishes (ceramic and paper), shoes, books, cups and glasses, sheet music, towels, books, kitchen utensils; pillows, silk stockings, and a large wind-up vic- trola with the handle broken off. FOR A MOMENT, I half-expected The Music Lady to shriek: "Good Heavens! I've been burglarized!" and faint (although I don't know where have found a clear spot on the floor to land). Instead, she merely smiled sweetly and indicated a pair of couches next to the living room wall. "Those are your beds," she said.

"And you can wash up in there," indicating the bathroom. "Goodnight." "Goodnight," said Frank and I in awed and unstable voices. We began picking our way through the debris toward the John. The main obstacle, in the center of the room, was a large oak table with a broken leg, piled high with tomatoes in a variety ot forms. There were full and part-empty flats of tomatoes; baskets of tomatoes; mason jars full, half-full, and scarcely filled with tomatoes; and there was a great deal of dried, seedy tomato juice forming in-' teresting patterns on the top of the table.

It took us a good two minutes to reach the bathroom which made the living room look like the Presidential Suite at the WaHorf. After washing his hands (several Frank discovered there was no towel-rack. Un, what should I do with this towel?" he inquired in loud voice. "Just throw in on the floor, dear," said the sweet voice from the bedroom. ENTERING IN THE dark, we did not know that the house was only 20 feet from the railroad track We'd been in bed only about a half-hour when we heard, first the whistle, and then the roar of the engine, growing ever louder.

And louder. AND LOUDER! We sat bolt upright in bed, staring at the spot in the wall where we expected to see a locomotive headlight come crashing through at any moment. The house shook. Jars rattlel And tomatoes rolled off the table onto the floor. There was a train every hour, all night long.

Looking back on it now, it's just possible Frank and I were involved in an historic occasion. We mav have inadvertently discovered the world's first Hippie. By SUE MILLS UNION CITY A controversial school district issue spilled over to the city council Monday night, ending in a physical fight between two councilmen. a i Henry Franco slugged Councilman Leo Alvelais during a sharp argument in closed session. Coming out of the session, Alvelais displayed a bloody cut on his forehead and a torn shirt.

He said he planned to file battery charges against Franco. The incident resulted from an effort by Alvelais to suspend planning commissioners Jean Carscadden, Raymond and Tom Kitayama for calling a special meeting on June 28 to approve the controversial Alvarado land purchase by the New Haven Unified School District. COUNCILMAN Manuel Garcia, conspicuously quiet during the entire planning commission debate, abstained from an ensuing vote, which Radio actor Young, 64. dies I Calif. PI )-Actor Carleton G.

Young, who played radio's "Count of Monte Cristo" for nine years, has died at the age of 64. Young, who also was the voice of "Ellery Queen" in ended in a 2-2 split. Alvelais and Councilman Irving Williams favored the suspension, while Franco and Councilman Don Miller opposed it. Franco later explained that after a half hour of repeatedly being called "an s.o.b." and of trying to reason with Alvelcis. he lost his temper.

Alvelais, after reporting the incident to police in the station next to the council chambers, said he had not called anyone a name. He added that he would consult an attorney today. THE POLICE report had not been forwarded to the district attorney's office as of late this morning, and no complaint had been signed by Alvelais or filed by the district attorney. The disagreement flared after the council had adjourned to the closed-door session to discuss the planning commission action. The session had been requested by Alvelais.

The first indication of serious conflict came when Councilman Irving Williams appeared in the council chambers half-way through the session and reported that there had been "some roughing up" that he wanted to stay out of. He was subsequently called back into the session. FRANCO had earlier expressed regrets that the turmoil generated by the recent change in school trustees had spilled over into the city's jurisdiction. Alvelais, who was vacationing in MexL'p when the spec i a 1 planning commission meeting was held, called the action of the three commissioners irresponsible and unethical. His request for a closed session to discuss the matter was frowned on by both Coun- cilm.en Williams and Miller.

Miller said there seemed no need for a closed-door session since at least three eoun- cilmen, in his words, viewed the commission action as orthodox. WILLIAMS had argued that the council should not involve itself in school district matters. It was finally Franco who adjourned to the special session out of deference to Alvelais' request. Earlier, Franco has ironically joked that people would rather stay home and watch television than come to the duil council sessions. They turn out for school board meetings, though, he said, because that's become the best show in town.

THE CLASH that followed canceled a scheduled work session on minor items. The council last night also approved a 5 per cent salary increase for city employes and turned down a late request for funding to the Berets' emergency food program and the free clinic in Decoto. SAN FRANCISCO (UPD- Two teen-aged brothers were sentenced to state prison for 10 years to life Tjesday on charges resulting from the March 19 shooting of a special pol'ccman in a tavern. Superior Court Judge Joseph Karesh imposed sentence on Donald Banks, 19, and his brother, Vincent, 18, after they pleaded guilty to four counts of robbery and assaulting a pjlice officer.
