President nt Ex Expresses es Shock Political Writer Dave Hope Dies Continued from Page 1 President Richard Nixon toexpressed shock and personal sorrow at the ur unexpected death of political writer David Hope, in a telegram from Washington, D.C., to The Tribune's editor and publisher', former U.S. Sen. William F. Knowland. The President was among leaders in the political life of the state, the nation and the local area who had come to know Mr.

Hope well during his many years on campaign trails and covering political events. The telegram said, "I was distressed to learn of the untimely death of David Hope. My thoughts are with you, your staff and all the readers of The Oakland Tribune as I lost a good personal friend and adviser," Knowland said. There is a legend at The Tribune, that when Knowland's late father, former Publisher Joseph R. Knowland, wanted to know something about state or national politics, he didn't call the governor or the President.

He would pick up his phone and say, "Get me Dave Last summer in Miami, as he left the convention hall after accepting the GOP Richard M. Nixon saw someone he knew in the crowd. He stopped, changed direction, pushed through the crowd and police and seized the man's hand. "Hello, Dave," he said. Although he wrote literally millions of words during his 50-year career: as a newsman, English was not his native Born David Bertil Hope in Sweden in 1903, he was brought by his parents as a child to Livermore, where he attended local schools and eventually worked for the Livermore Herald.

He was graduated from Livermore High School in 1919. In the next 18 years, before joining The Tribune in 1937, he worked on the Herald, the Livermore Journal, the San Francisco Examiner and Hearst's old morning Oakland Times. In his early years at The Tribune, Mr. Hope covered suburban beats in Livermore, Pleasanton, Hayward and San Leandro. Later he covered the Oakland City Council and the County Board of Supervisors, and handled every local political campaign since 1947.

From 1947 to 1954 he wrote the Daily Knave column. He was an inveterate storts fan. He could quote the names recall with you the dedication that Dave poured into his work. La "His untiring efforts to bring accurate and meaningful news interpretations to his readers placed him among the finest members of the Fourth Estate. "I want to express my deepest sympathies to his family, and express the hope that his inspiration may sustain and strengthen all who mourn his death." -parties Leaders of both political joined in expressing feelings of personal loss.

In Washington, D.C., where he attending meeting, former Gov. Edmund G. Brown said: "I knew Dave well from the of virtually every boxer who ever fought or baseball star who every played in Oakland and he would with little prompting. In his own autobiographical sketch for The Tribune library, Mr. Hope listed as his most important stories the 20 years of planning for a new Bay crossing and the initial phases of the Bay Area Rapid Transit Project, including the first report and the 1962 bond issue campaign.

But the hundreds of politicians and newsmen whose careers he touched have different memories of different stories, some significant and some not so earthshaking. All the stories were important to Mr. Hope. He approached each with the zeal and enthusiasm usually reserved for younger men. Those in the city room were stunned by his death.

One young man said quietly: "I thought Dave was indestructible." Another, older man shook his head. "If I have that much sand when I'm 65 His voice trailed off. Mr. Hope is survived by his widow, the former Flora Edna DePaoli; his mother, Mrs. Anna Hope of Livermore; two daughters, Mrs.

Paul R. Nussbaum of Milbrae and Mrs. David R. Hedeman of San Francisco; a sister, Mrs. Edward Sunoskie of Livermore; a brother, James P.

Funeral services are pending. very beginning of my political career and I found him one of the fairest writers during the period I was attorney general and governor. He was objective, he got the facts and his interpretation of Claifornia politics will be sadly missed." Rep. Jerome Waldie, D-Antioch, said that "the untimely passing of Dave Hope will leave a void in political reporting in this state that will be difficult to fill.

Dave's reports were invariably concise, accurate and fiar." Rep. Jeffery Cohelan, -O a kland, said, "Dave Hope's death saddens all of us in public life who knew and respected him over the many years he so ably served as political writer for The Tribune. "Dave had little regard for the sometimes bombastic oratory of politics and similarly we believe he would have as little respect for eulogies of that nature. "Let us say only that Dave was a gentleman and a friend, but most of all he was a good newspaperman, a profession-. al, who commanded our respect for exactly that reason.

"'He was a credit to his profession and will be. missed." Republican Assemblyman Don Mulford of Oakland expressed shock, and said, "Dave Hope has been a longtime personal friend of mine. Over the years I have respected him as a reporter and a man. When his oyline appeared in The Tribune the reader knew he was getting the unblemished facts. "The Bay Area has lost one of its outstanding journalists and his death is a personal loss to me.

I extend my deepest sympathies to his wonderful family." Assemblyman Carlos Bee, chairman of the Alameda County legislative delegation, recalled that "I have known Dave Hope in the 20 years that I have been in public office, as a city councilman in Hayward and as a legislator. have always found him to be fair in his reporting. He was a tough but honest reporter and was respected by men in political life, whether he agreed with them or not." Mr. Hope's deskmate at The Tribune for many years, former reporter B. R.

Stokes, now general manager of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, mourned the loss of "a close friend and a and declared that "the Bay Area has lost one of its most influential citizens. His incisive mind and his ability to communicate to the public the complicated issues of the moment will be sorely missed by all of us. What can you say at such a time?" Oakland Mayor John J. Reading, in Washington, D.C., on a city business trip, said he was "saddened" at the news of Mr. Hope's death.

Exclaiming, "Oh, when he heard the news, Hayward Mayor John K. Smith, chairman of the Alameda County Mayors Conference, said: "In Dave Hope we had a man we all apprecited and admired and respected because of his fairness and objectivity. He was, in fact, a true credit to the newspaper profession.

His untimely passing will be regretted by all of us." County officials, judges and law enforcement officers added their words of sorrow. Said Alameda County Supervisor Emanuel P. Razeto, "Dave was one of my oldest friends. He had the dedication, thoroughness and ability to sit through some of the longest and most tedious governmental proceedings and in the end come up with a smooth account of what transpired. "His death is not only a terrible loss to newspapering, but is a real loss to local government but the keenest loss of all, however, is to the public he Supervisor Robert Hannon agreed, "I knew Dave all of my public life and found him to be a very conscientious and diligent political reporter.

He was fair in all respects to all parties and to all candida es. He had the diligence to truthfully print all the facts regardless. He was a great credit to the Fourth Estate." Dist. Atty. J.

The hotel, office buildings, retail shops and some parking facilities would be located on one oversized block created by closing Washington Street between 14th and 12th Streets and 13th Street between Clay Street and Broadway.

The remaining two blocks would contain parking structures and retail The City Redevelopment Agency is in the process of acquiring three of the six blocks under an earlier council action. It will seek Federal Housing and Urban Development funds to acquire the other three blocks. The net cost of acquiring the six blocks was estimated at $11.9 million, with the city's one-quarter share of $3 million coming from non-cash "credits" created by Bay Area Rapid Transit stations and other public improvements. The City of Oakland would play a financial role in the project by floating about $3 or $4 million in off-street parking bonds to erect a parking garage of at least 1,000 spaces. The City Redevelopment Agency would sell the acquired site to a "master who would erect a major hotel costing an estimated $14 million: three office buildings totalling 900.000 square feet and costing some $32 million, and retail and commercial buildings costing from $3 million to $6 million.

The task force- estimated the project could be designed and built by late 1972 or early 1973. Planning could start late this year. The task force discarded the plan for a huge convention center which was included in the Oceanic proposal. The task force also recommended that the redevelopment agency and the city manager coordinate and oversee planning for the project. An executive manager would be hired by the redevelopment agency to work with the private developer.

Reading emphasized that the entire structure of the city government would play a part in the project. He said the task force's proposal. when formally approval by the City Council, would be offered to Oceanic to determine their interest, if any. But, he said, the city would at the same time be seeking other prospective developers. Besides a team of city officials and staff personnel, the task force included: Harold Ellis, Grubb and Ellis a real estate and development firm; John Merrill, Skidmore, Owings Merrill, an architectural firm; C.
