OFF THE AIR The elaborate security radio network set up to operate during the visit in Monterey County Wednesday of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson was off the air for about 12 minutes while the group was en route down California 1.

For some unexplained reason, a repeater on Mt. Toro remained on and no radio communication was possible. Operators at Monterey County Communications made attempts to restore the repeater to normal, but were unsuccessful. Finally they asked all police radio stations in the area to pull the master switches on their sets. The repeater went off, then back to normal operation.

Which police radio station caused the trouble probably will never be know-n. While the network was off the air, radio messages were routed through the California Highway Tatrol radio station here.

A Work Sef On Sewer Projects Work should start within four months on two major sewer projects approved by Salinas voters as part of the citys 1963 and 1965 bond issues. The go-ahead is an announcement today from the governors office that the Department of Housing and Urban Development has aprpoved a pending city application for a $533,600 water and sewer facilities grant. Application was made last June and work on the projects deferred awaiting the roughly 50 per cent federal financing.

Involved are the Natividad Road sewer trunk line and a second trunk line through the Carr Lake-Madera Ranch area to a new pumping station at Lake and California. The system will tie into the recently completed N. Salinas line and is expected to solve a problem of sewage overflow at Garner and Pacific, in northeast Alisal. The Natividad Road line will start at Bridge and Lake Street, through Carr Lake to Natividad and along there to Alvin Drive. City share of the total project all from bond funds will be Public Works Director Arnold Joens said the projects can go to bid as soon as some additional easements have been acquired and agreements signed with the federal goverment.

CHICAGO (UPI) -An Army bayonet found within throwing distance of the home where Valerie Percy was beaten and stabbed to death may be the murder weapon. The 14-inch bayonet, which according to technicians, could have caused the wounds that killed the 21-year-old daughter of Republican senatorial candidate Charles Percy was recovered from Lake Michigan by Coast Guard divers. As far as I am concerned at this point, it is still a possibility (as a murder weapon), said Kenilworth Police Chief Robert M. Daley, the head of the murder investigation.

The knife was found about 40 yards from the Percy private beach about the distance a man can throw' such an object. Bay Area Thursday afternoon from Washington and New York. He addressed a civic banquet Thursday night and told the 500 guests that President Johnson is a great president for his stand in resisting Red Chinas war by proxy in South Viet Nam, which Marcos said had become the testing ground for Chinas policy of permanent revolution.

Final item in the-1963 bond passage was $63,350 for fire protection needs. The chunk, $37,350, has been spent on training facilities at the Abbott Street station. Purchase of a northeast Salinas fire station site has been deferred until further development of the area makes it clear where the new station should go. Two items in the 1963 bond proposal were rejected by Salinas voters: widening of Salinas Street and funds for acquisition of future park sites. Sound or Lncky Looking back with the wisdom of hindsight, Dunne volunteers that voter judgment was probably sound or lucky.

M'ith subsequent enactment of the federal open space program, local taxpayers can now use matching funds to get twice as much for their money. The city is taking advantage of this on a pay as you go basis, says Dunne. While it could hardly have been foreseen at the time, the narrow defeat may have been all for the best Salinas Streets future is now under study as part of the entire downtown traffic problem, with indications that the final solution may be better than the one defeated by voters In 1963. The three-part 1965 bond issue provided $1.7 million for storm and sanitary sewer work, for widening of Sanborn Road overpass, and for fire hydrant installations in the annexed Alisal area. The hydrant installations are about one-third completed.

Work on Sanborn "Road overpass, as indicated earlier, is expected to start this March. The Alisal-Bardm Road storm sewer representing about 75 per cent of the projected East Salinas storm drain improvements is now being advertised for bid.
