I didn't even know how to write a ticket." After a while, Reinbold was shift-' ed to the night patrol with an. older, experienced man and it was. then he started learning about police work.

Demand for Classes When the certification bill passes, which is believed almost a certainty by its backers, the schools should feel a demand for classes. "There's no use getting excited about it until it passes," said Fred Brierley, dean of occupational education at Santa Monica College. "But I'm sure it will pass this time. We've been successfully involved in certification in other areas, in cosmetology and X-ray administration.

Undoubtedly we'll set up special classes for the people in the industry, if they're needed." Brierley will call together the school's automotive advisory committee of managers from every major service group in Santa Monica arid, with representatives of the big auto companies which have resisted certification, work out a plan for the courses.

It isn't that Reinbold is antisocial; it is just that he feels he is a police chief, not a public speaker or a social butterfly. "I have seen too many police chiefs who are forever running from one conference on municipal government to another," he said. "Before long they are in charge of their department in name only.

the improvement and realignment of thu western end of Venice Blvd. A report by City Engineer Lyall A. Pardee proposes three alternatives for the 1.25-mile stretch, all of which require right-of-way purchases and $1.3 million in construction costs. But the actual selection, to be made eventually by the City Coun-. cil, could involve buying some property, the rest of which could be pur chased later by the city at low cost, possibly for a park or a low income- housing project site.

If the council opts for the expanded purchase plan, it could cost from $365,000 to $544,000 more for. the right-of-way than the estimated $91,000 for the. least, expensive pro-posal. Long a 'Poor Relation The boulevard between Lincoln Blvd. and Pacific Ave.

has long been a "poor to the rest of the i major thoroughfare which curves from the beach to downtown's Fig-ueroa St. Large segments of it have been improved, including a stretch be- tween Sepulveda and Lincoln refurbished in 1966, A small section, between Thurman and Cadillac be under construction this month and is due to be completed in 160 working days. Another larger section, between Sepulveda Blvd. and Keystone will be improved next year. But the west section has been low on the city engineer's priority until now due to use and available finances.

The section under study consists of two one-way, east-west street sections, divided by a wide median, some of which is city-owned. The strip is the site of the old Pacific Electric streetcar right-of-way. Eight Lanes Possible According to Pardee, either the northern or southern artery will be widened, possibly to an eight-lane highway with two lanes set aside for parking and a medium strip. In ini tial consideration the road will be si milar to the boulevard improvements east of Lincoln Blvd. The remaining street section would become a local street.

The three alternatives rec-ommended are: 1 Expand the existing south' route to the north. right-of-way, contingency and relocation are $91,000. Most of the right-of-way here is owned by the city, with 10 buildings possibly affected. The report estimated the city-owned land at $425,000. 2 Expand the northern segment to the south.

Cost would be $456,000. There are 29 buildings which would be affected. 3 Expand the north strip in a northerly direction. Because of the 83 residences possibly affected, plus a one-story commercial building, the cost would be high, $635,000. Money for purchasing the right-of-way will be financed through gas tax funds, although construction will be jointly financed by the state (50) and the city and county sharing the A "If you want' additional land parcels," said a city engineer spokesman who did not wish to be identi- fied, "you can do it with gas tax money.

The parcels may be used for something else.

tests as necessary to their trade as' grease, and the consumer that should mean a better da, is coming. State Sen. Anthony Beilenson (D-West Los Angeles) says the recently passed law which requires registration of all automotive repair dealers with a new Bureau of Automotive Repairs by, July, 1972, is" just a In the coming session of the Legislature Beilenson will introduce a bill calling for certification of individual automotive mechanics. With a certification program in force, mechanics would take a state-administered test to prove their competence, Some Pessimism "We could have voluntary certification or we could require that everybody who works as a mechanic take the test," Beilenson said. The Independent Garage Owners' Assn.

doesn't think many working mechanics would be likely to pass the rigorous written, oral and manual tests already developed by the association as a possible prototype for the state test, so the voluntary system seems the most likely. A state certification program has been a top priority of the IGO for many years. "A substantially greater problem S.M. Police BY SEYMOUR BEUBIS Timet Staff Writer SANTA MONICA In an era where public officials will do almost anything to get attention, Police Chief Earl Reinbold of Santa Monica is something of an anachronism. He not only does not seek publici-.

ty, he shuns it. "I try to avoid just about all those speaking engagement requests, and there are many," Reinbold said. "I keep from running around to a lot CHARLES B. DONALDSON Time Staff Writer Opponents of a proposal to rezone 163.1 acres adjacent td the Pepper-dine University campus in Malibu have called for a freeze, on zoning; and have urged the County Regional Planning Commission to ignore the impact the' new campus might have on the community. Century Malibu a subsidiary of Alcoa, wants residential planned development zoning permitting up to three units for each acre now zoned for with- one-acre and five-acre parcels.

"I always have shied away from publicity. I prefer to do a good job. Let the other guys make the In police circles, Reinbold is regarded as a cop's cop. This" observation is in itself interesting because it was never Rein- bold's intention to make police work a career. He joined the police force on July 13, 1936, primarily because a friend 'Other Guys a.
