San Gabriel Council Balks at Vital Issues The San Gabriel city coun cil cleaved a little more dis tance between itself and tw civic factions last night, in a meeting that did little mon than postpone two vital issue: presented.

Both, the proposed annexa Won of an estimated (assessed valuation) parcel land and the widening of a i i a street, were "tabled" for further examina tion and presentation at meeting two weeks hence. A group of approximately 20 persons appeared in protest of widening of Roses road, for a distance of five blocks. According to the council, It was acting on the rccom- Paintings (Continued From Page One) ings were masterpieces. He saic he only identified seven as belonging to that category, including what he said was the most valuable the "Maddalena 1 by Michelangelo Da Caravaggio. Porcella called last week's announcement of the discov ery without showing the paint ings to the public and experts a "tactical error." He said he had vainly advised the Folios by cable against that "inopportune and untimely" an nouncement However, Chester Hatabur da, brother-in-law of Alfonso Folio, denied that any sucl cables were received.

Hataburda lashed out Mon day at Taylor Curtis, Pasa dena art dealer and appraiser i Curtis' charges against authenticity of the paintings "absolutely untrue and a figment of his Imagination." Curtis said he spent abou 10 minutes "carefully examining" the paintings more than a year ago and was not sufi ciently impressed with thejr value to be willing a cent in having their authenticity investigated. Hataburda repeatedly stated that Curtis spent "not more than 60 seconds" viewing the art works and could not possibly have evaluated them properly. "He didn't even take a close look at two of the paintings in our home," Hataburda said. "In fact, he was there so briefly he ho even left the engine of his car running." mendation of Chief of Police F. I.

Carpenter that Koses road (as it exists) constitutes a traffic hazard because of Its lack of width. With representatives Jim Carroll and Frans Pearman, both residents of Roses road, speaking in behalf of a vjehe- ment group, it was requested that the widening" of'the street (in proposal form) be turned down as it would change 'residential passage" into a thoroughfare. Representatives said that the petition presented contained the signatures of 'approximately 90 or 95 per cent" of tile residents a objected. Despite the proposal of two counci members that the prob- em be resolved, the council set the for more examination and review at the next meeting. The annexation question, one hat has been raised several toes in the recent past, was argued by Joseph Taback, Los Angeles attorney.

Taback was retained by a of property holders of parcel of land that is the subject of the question. After a legal bantering concerning, primarily, the percentage of persons involved that object to the annexation, the council once again delayed an opinion. Three council mcipbcrs expressed a desire to settle the issue, but two later relinquished their opinions to offer "courtesy" to the other members that asked for more consideration. James Martin, a merchant and property holder in the area involved, stated after the meeting that the group will 'see the thing through." He claimed that the necessary number of petitioners had been signed, but that "the council is trying to bide for to sway the signers." Taback asked that the annexation be declared "null and void" on the property that fronts on Las Tunas drive and extends from San Gabriel avenue to Earl street, the east city limits. His argument, to the dismay of his backers, had no effect on the judgment of the council.

China Threat of War Seen by Author The threat of Communist Chinese aggressiion in Asia likely to continue for some me, creating an "area of anxiety" for the entire world, incent Sheean said last night the Pasadena City College 'orum.

And the "insoluble conflict" etwcen India and China can nly be settled through armed onflict or economic triumph, he author and news pondent said. Sheean, who has spent many ears in India described the onflict as the fundamental di- ergence between a Commu- ist dictatorship and a nation eeking to be democratic. Either country eventually may gain control of Asia, sheean indicated, because 'the (lay is gone when European or other powers could dominate Asia." The brewing turmoil in Asia as increased sharply in the st several years since the 11- ision of "natural brother- ood" of Asian nations has een shattered, Sheean said, described the illusion as aving grown from the free- of India in 1947 and the ubseiuent freeing of other olonialized nations. This "emotional belief in ie brotherhood of Asia" ig- ored basic differences of an- hropology, history, politics, eligion, language and geog- aphy. In the late '40's and" early O's, the aims of India and hina, both poverty stricken ations, were the ame, the speaker said.

Major rejects undertaken included stablishment of industry, in- rcasing of production nd distribution, and building 1 dams and irrigation canals. But the methods of obtain- ng these goals have become ncreasingly dissimilar, with India striving for a democratic system of paid labor, while China's "ruthless" regime resorted to forced labor, establishment of communes md the wholesale transpor- ation of people from one part of the country another, Sheean said. A major sore point between ic nations has become India's rotection of the Dalai Lama, hile Red China has been proading into Tibet, Sheean aid. 'If no frontiers are safe them then where do hey stop?" he asked. India alone is not capable of alting a Red Chinese advance, lieean added.
