An original offer had been rejected by the Orange County Board of Supervisors because the area does not qualify under the county park master plan which sets 200 acres as the minimum for a regional park. The board rejected the offer after county counsel ruled the county could not use its earmarked regional park funds on a "community" park. However, Navy officials and representatives of the cities.

John Huston Gets Top Writers Guild Award Wins Coveted Laurel Prize for His Many Contributions to 'Literature' of Films BY CECIL SMITH Tim T(lvitiM tiittr Writer-director John Huston was presented the cov REQUEST DENIED Actress Bette Davis appears in the Santa Monica Court Monday where she lost her plea to deny her former husband, actor Gary Merrill, visitation rights with their son, Michael, 12. Bette Davis Loses Plea eted Laurel Award of the Writers Guild at the 16th annual awards dinner of the organization at the Beverly Aimed at Ex-Husband Today's primary election in New Hampshire, supposedly held chiefly for the purpose of giving the nation a clear line on the identity of the next Republican candidate for President, apparently isn't going to do that And with almost equal certainty, the indications are that it isn't even going to tell us which of the candidates the voters of New Hampshire at least don't want. Actually it looks like the greatest gift to second-guessers in the history of what is customarily called "the democratic process." The chief beneficiaries of today's balloting, quite obviously, are going to be the political pundits who will be provided with endless material for all sorts of analyses, explanations, predictions and alibis.

For this, all such will be duly gratefuL If, as most of the observers now anticipate, the results are indecisive and muddled, it will be possible to draw all sorts of conclusions. Columnists will just love a situation like this. All sorts of explanations will be possible. Reminds me of a period during the early 30s following the financial collapse. The stock market was aimlessly hithering and thithering, going up and down like a yoyo and one wearied financial expert, as baffled as everybody else, turned from answering a long series of questions from an anxious client to say, 'I've got so I can explain anything, if they'll just give me time." That's apparently going to be the situation a happy one in which the political pundits will find themselves as they dissect and expand upon the mysterious happenings expected after today's balloting in New Hampshire.

How Things Have Developed Most of the experienced observers agree that (1) Governor Rockefeller is an excellent campaigner with a style extremely well adapted to a small state such as New Hampshire where it is possible, by sheer persistence, to contact personally a rather large part of the electorate; (2) Barry Goldwater has an inexperienced amateurish organization which doesn't know how to take advantage of the senator's assets; (3) Henry Cabot Lodge has an extremely effective organization working "out of a post office box" calculated to get the greatest possible mileage out of his hometown-New England-boy advantage; (4) the "horse-blanket ballot" with its jumble of mixed-up names making it a real chore to pick out the backers of the several candidates might easily lead a lot of the New Englanders to just vote for or against the state lottery-sweepstakes and not bother to try to vote for the Presidential candidates. Rocky Interprets for Barry Nothing much has been written or said about efforts by Sen. Goldwater's friends in the Congress to straighten out his campaigning. During the past couple of weeks, Goldwater and his campaign director, Denison Kitchell, met with a group of some 40 House Republicans and, later, with a dozen or so Republican senators, to discuss his campaign. There was a lot of frank talk and advice.

They admit that Goldwater's personality makes it impossible for him to duplicate Rockefeller's apparent delight in the baby-kissing, pizza-eating campaign style. They also said Barry must do something to overcome the situation in which people apparently pay less attention to what Gold-water says than to what Rockefeller says that Gold-water says. This is a technique that Gov. Brown used very effectively against Dick Nixon in their 1960 California gubernatorial campaign and seems very difficult to counteract This sort of situation is meat and potatoes to columnists and today's election may produce more differing explanations than votes. Court Rules Actor Merrill May Visit Their Son Despite Charges on Behaviqr ANAHEIM Orange County Democratic Club delegates, in convention here, for the first time have endorsed candidates for election to the Orange County Democratic Central Committee.

Dr. Norman Meyer, incum bent central committee chair man and himself one of the endorsed candidates for re election, said the grass-root3 club groups "are beginning to pay more attention to control of the local party organization." Traditionally, the clubs in Orange County have centered their attention on state and national executive and legislative offices. Struggle for Control Club action to endorse central committee candidates follows an open struggle for control between a club-oriented majority lead by Dr. Meyer and a faction headed by former chairman Walter Chaffee, a FuIIerton attorney. Chaffee recently lead a highly-publicized walkout of the minority group from a central committee meeting.

It was the first open evidence of the split between party factions. A club leader, who declined to be named, said the convention endorsements for central committee candidates a post which ordinarily receives little attention from the general voter would help solidify local party control in the erass-roots clubs and club leadership. Along Classic Lines Observers at the convent jtion said the party split ap peared to be along the classic lines between so -called professionals" and volun teer party workers. However, not all endorsees are active club members. Besides Mever.

endorse ments by district were: 1st Claude Young, Philip Schwab and Joe O'Campo. 2nd Paul Leiter, Salem Caplan, Mrs. Kit Johnson Frank Owen, Leiv Blad and Dr. Joseph Ribal. 3rd Earl Calhoun, Ed- ward De Sure.

Maher and board members Lowell Nelson and Norman Gatzert, felt Alcarez was unemployed and in jail through his own fault, and thus did not qualify under state law. Alcarez was laid off by Kaiser bteel U.

"The ruling establishes the principle that inability to accept a job offer during incarceration may disqualify a claimant several weeks subsequent to the offer if it i i v. PlanfoYorty Emergency Clause Omitted; Another Veto Anticipated The City Council, one vote short of overriding Mayor Samuel W.

Yorty's veto, re turned the ordinance recommending sweeping changes in civil defense to the mayor Monday with out an emergency clause. This gives the. council a chance to override an expected second veto. The mayor, with 10 days to take action, is expected to veto the measure again. He charged last week it creates "a division of responsibility and authority that could cause chaos in a citv-wide disaster." Without i emereencv clause, which originally was aimed to meet the Mav 1 deadline to apply to the federal government for reimbursement of $65,000 on civil defense spent by the city tnis year, the council needs only 10 votes to override.

Votes 11 to 3 Monday, the vote was 11 to 3, which sent the ordinance back to committee and to the mayor for further action. Twelve votes were needed to override the veto with the emergency clause. Voting against the action were Councumen James B. Potter John P. Cassidy and Thomas D.

Shepard. Harold A. Henry was absent Councilman John C. Holland, chairman of the Police, Fire and Civil Defense Com mittee, who recommended "with deep regret" the deletion of the emergency clause so that the measure could be passed, pointed out: "The new structure, following that of the county and other cities, still leaves complete responsibility and authority in the hands of the mayor. But by placing Chief of Police William Parker as his deputy commander, it provides a staff for emergency planning." Sees Authority Split Friday, in his veto action, the mayor warned that the proposal "splits responsibili ty for public safety so no one has clear authority to act during a period of disaster." In its top -to-bottom shakeup of the civil defense establishment last month, the council "fired" Joseph M.

Quinn, the mayor's spe cial assistant who held the unpaid post of director. Holland said he foresaw difficulties in the mayor's "imperiling action" of veto in meeting the May 1 dead Please Turn to Pg. 3, Col. 3 is found he was unable to accept due to his own fault," Maher said. Alcarez filed for jobless pay benefits as soon as he was released from jail.

The board held his refusal to accept the job offer from Kaiser while he was in jail amounted to "job refusal without good cause." In the other ruling, the board made Its first decision involving the extended 13- week vacation plan negotiat ed by the AFL-CIO United Steelworkers of America in the steel industry. The plan provides for a 13-week vacation every five years.

Santa Monica Superior Judge Edward R. Brand talked with i a 1- in chambers during a recess. "He's not a hothouse flow er. He's a normal 12-year-old and a fine boy," Judge Brand said. Miss Davis had contended Merrill caroused during two weekends while the boy was visiting him at Newport Beach earlier this year.

The defense countered that dur ing the boy's waking hours, Merrill paid him considera ble attention. Court Cites Difference Judge Brand rejected the notion that Merrill's taking a drink in front of the boy was improper behavior. "There's difference between taking a drink and being drunk, he said. Lecturing both parents as to their responsibility, Judge Brand characterized them as highly emotional, high- strung, temperamental people." Michael, he said, 'is a fme boy with sound training. Despite coming from a bro ken home, he will become a sound and useful citizen." Turning to Miss Davis, sitting in the rear of the courtroom, Judge Brand said: "If you have a criticism to make of your husband's conduct, it must be made to!
