County Special Educational Consultant Richard Struck proposed using about 25 acres in De Laveaga park for the project. Struck, also chairman of the county probation committee, said the park site would be eminently suited for the camp site since it would be near a hospital, the youth's homes and the county probation office. Commissioners, who drew a firm line of opposition to a park site in their pre-commis-sion session, told Struck they were more than in favor of the program but would not favor housing it in what they termed "already crowded" De Laveaga park.

ft vi tfnii'm III 1 I 1 if SvJL5' ij i Si w4 Washington (AP). Tax cut possibilities were discussed by Republican leaders at a White House conference today but they said afterward a decision probably will be put off for two months. Senate GOP leader Know-land of California made the forecast of delay after a 212-hour ses- sion. In the interval, he said, the administration will review the im- pact of antirecession steps it already has taken in such fields as housing, highway and public works construction. And, he said, Secretary of the Treasury Anderson informed the conference that the administration will undertake no tax program without prior consultation with Democratic leaders of the senate and house.

Knowland said these leaders already have seen the secretary and he assumes the implication is the Democrats also will put forth no leadership-backed tax cut plan of their own without consulting the administration. Anderson, Knowland said, did not outline any specific forms for tax cuts that might be used in the event business and employment fail-to recover in reasonable time, This was in contradiction to what Sen. Martin (R-Pa), senior GOP member of the senate finance committee, had told newsmen. Martin, first to emerge from the weekly White House session, had said a number of alternatives were mentioned, such as reducing withholding taxes, cutting excise taxes, and lowering taxes on individuals and business in a way to encourage greater investments in, private enterprise. House Republican Leader Mar-tin of Massachusetts agreed with Knowland that specific alternatives were not discussed.

The assembly, said "no" today to a pay raise for 80,000 state employes but its answer wasn't final.

voted down a per cent increase, 57 to 16, and a 5 per cent stepup, 61-8 amid picas to hold the line on state spending. A compromise move for a 2lk per cent increase totaling IV2 million dollars was rejected 42-35. Sponsors said they would re-offer the amendment later in the day with provisions to apply only to salaries under $10,500 a year. They predicted this would remove enough opposition to pick up the necessary votes. The action followed approval of a $3,281,000 addition to the state budget by the Assembly yesterday Jo provide a 5 per cent raise for some 10,000 faculty members at the University of California and state colleges.

Chairman Glenn E. Coolidge (R-Felton) of the ways and means committee warned that the increases would throw the two-billion dollar budget out of balance. He urged state employes to tighten their belt and wait until next year when the financial outlook may be brighter. But Assemblyman Thomas J. MacBride (D-Sacramento), leading the fight for the 2Vz per cent amendment, protested against trying to balance the budget "by chiseling state employes." He said their pay was lagging some 4.3 per cent behind comparable jobs in private industry.

Assemblyman Thomas M. Rees (D-Los Angeles) viewed the pay raise as "a big election year" pitch. He said state employes are not starving to death. In fact, he observed, they are the highest paid state workers in the country. New Scholarships To Be Awarded At Beauty Pageant Twelve scholarships totaling $4000 will go to the top contestant in this year's Miss California pageant June 26-29.

The scholarships were donated by the Pepsi Cola Bottlers association of California, according to a joint announcement by Chamber Manager Dave Owen and Pageant Executive Director E. P. "Bud" Prindle. The scholarships were arranged following three months of correspondence and numerous telephone calls between Association President William Newman and the local chamber office. Local member of the Pepsi Cola association is Watsonville Bottler-Dealer Les Orlani.

A committee of Owen, a banker, a Pepsi-Cola company official and an educator will supervise the awards to the topel2 beauties of the pageant to further their education. Top grant will be $1000 to Miss California with prizes scaled down to $250 for winners in the various top non-finalist divisions. Owen said the scholarship may go on a permanent basis as a part of the pageant Previously a $500 scholarship for the winner was financed out of pageant earnings. SANTA CLARA UC CENTER VOTED OUT Sacramento UP). A $242,500 appropriation to build a University of California extension center in Orange county remained in the budget today but a similar one for another center in Santa Clara county was voted out 48-24 by the Assembly yesterday.

ing a site near the Dark where the physical plant can be set up. ine youtns tnen could work in the park as part of the rehabilitation. The plan proposed by Struck and. the county committee calls for a 14-bed facility with access to not less than 25 acres of land. The camp would include school, counseling and "work experience" under careful supervision.

In his presentation Struck cited nine statements from county and city school leaders unanimously endorsing the project. The plan would take care of youngsters who have not committed serious enough violations to go to a CYA camp, but should not be left in school. "And that's just where they are now," Struck added. He es-tim about five per cent of the county's school population would fall into this category. The reason that the proposed facility is no larger is that the state would not agree to paying Its one half support for a larger plan.

Commissioners agreed to the plan which would include large doses of work along the park's trails, -roads and in picnic grounds and recreation areas. City Manager Robert Klein Klein pointed out that nearby residents and park users should have no qualms about the youths since jail inmates have been used for many years in maintaining the park. April 2 commissioners, Struck and CYA Consultant on Juvenile Camps B. P. Sherman will meet to tour the area and search out a possible site adjacent to the park.

MAN ARRESTED Alexander Handley, 515 Bar'son street, was arrested for disturbing the peace by police yesterday. Handley was sleeping in a garden, police said. Sheboygan Falls, Wis. (fl. Explosive cannon shells whipped out of the sky last niht, pelting streets and hammering into at least three houses.

Billy Baxter, an information officer, said the only Lockbourne plane over Wisconsin last night was an RB47 which did not have ammunition in its tail cannon, the only armament it carries. The RB47 is a camera-equipped version of the six-jet B47 bomber. Lt.

After noting that recent attendance in fact has picked up, the group voted to move its operations from the city council chambers to the multi-purpose room at Brand-forte junior high school where it would have more room.

But he said ht was more interested in the fact that the Vanguard orbit's low point is 400 miles. "That's far better than we had hoped for," he told a reporter.

He said provisions had been made for the possibility of a low point of only 200 miles. ''The fact that our low point is twice that high means ewere much more successful than we had hoped, and that the satellite will have a much longer life than could have been expected." The army launched its Explorer I satellite January 31. The cylinder is almost 7 feet long and 6 inches in diameter. It weighs 30.8 pounds of which only about 12 pounds make up the instru-mentedd satellite part. Army Secretary Brucker an-nounced earlier that there may be another attempt to launch an Army satellite within a week.

N. Elliott Felt, operations manager for Martin company on Project Vanguard, said there would be one more test vehicle firing in the current series. In Washington, Dr. John P. Hagen, director of Project Vanguard for NRL, said the navy would launch six Vanguard rockets with 21-inch, 20-pound speres and one with a 13-inch plastic lobe.

At Cambridge, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory alerted 127 U. S. Moonwatch teams to try to observe the new Vanguard satellite visually. The Vanguard orbits around the earth on the average of every 135 minutes for the Explorer.

(JP) Two actually three U.S. moons whizzed around the earth today in company with the sole surviving but already doomed Soviet Sputnik satellite. And the United States continued to press on with programs to launch additional space craft. With Sputnik II given less than a month remaining life, the Soviet Union for the first time since Sputnik I came into being October 4 was at a numerical disadvantage in the international space flight competition. The Navy Vanguard satellite was launched early yesterday into an orbit that pushed new frontiers out into the unknown.

The announced orbit ranged from 400 miles above the earth to a peak of 2500 miles, the highest yet attained by a man-made satellite. The Vanguard orbit represented not one but two satellites. Its true artificial moon was a shiny aluminum sphere only 6.4 inches in diameter and weighing 3V4 pounds. Somewhree close behind it in an orbit hundreds of miles out from the earth was the 50-pound third-stage rocket that pushed Vanguard to orbital speed. It was 5 feet long and 20 inches wide.

The navy estimated that the sphere would stay in orbit 5 to 10 years. The dead rocket in its wake will have a much shorter ride. Some officials of Martin company, which built the Vanguard test rockets, suggested that the orbit peak may be considerable above the 2500 miles officially accorded possibly to 3000 miles' or higher.

Batista Spurns Rebel Manifesto Havana (JP) President Ful- gencio Batista showed r.o sign today of heeding a call for his resignation by leaders of 42 organizations. The manifesto, declaring anarchy and bloodshed could be averted only if Batista got out, came on the heels of a 22-point ultimatum by rebel leader Fidel Castro giving the president until April 5 to quit or face "a fight to the finish." On U.S. unemployment, Khrushchev said widespread attention was given in the Soviet Union to a speech last Friday by AFL-CIO President George Meany, the text of which was published in Soviet newspapers today. Pravda gave it a full page display under the headline: "Millions of Americans Unemployed." Khrushchev said: "We want our young people who do not know what capitalism means to learn about the drawbacks of your system. But let them learn not from the words of Mr.

Khrushchev who is known to be an anticapitalist, but from Meany who supports capitalism." H6 also touched on the United States versus the Soviet in science and industry. "From this time on," he said, the United States will trail Russia in science. He said the United States is' lagging "not because the American people are less talented. But here in the Soviet Union we have, a greater choice of talented people. Here young people have an opportunity to develop their talents.

In America, if young people don't have an opportunity to develop, they wither away." Black, uhder questioning by Soviet newsmen, said he was "entirely convinced" the Soviets will eventually overtake the United States in industry. But he said, the same holds true for the AraV countries, IndL and China at some later stage in history. "I would include the Eskimos in the long run," Black said. Singapore W. Rebel Pa dang radio announced that the town of Pakanbaru, site of the U.S.

owned Caltex oil installations in Central Sumatra, was recaptured by rebel forces today. There was no confirmation of the rebel report from either the Indonesian government in Jakarta or revolutionary sources here. The rebel broadcast said forces under Maj. Shasju Nurdin forced the Jakarta troops to flee or surrender. Asms and ammunition were captured, it said.

Jakarta forces invaded the Pakanbaru area with a parachute assault late Wednesday. Earlier, the rebel radio said military Achinese warriors had advanced southward toward Me-dan in Northern Sumatra and had clashed with government forces on the key port city's outskirts. The Achinese are Sumatran Moslems living in the northern province of Atjeh. TJje attack came there as 250 Americans were ordered to evacuate Medan, a city of 300,000 which Indonesian government and rebel forces have been fighting for since Sunday. Medan is about 300 miles north of the Pakanbaru oil lands.

The advance, of the Achinese apparently meant that their fierce army of 150,000 warriors was allying ifself with the rebels. An advance guard converged on Medan and began sniping at government troops. The number of Achinese and the strength of the government forces involved were not known. Control of Medan has been in doubt since Sunday when some troops mutinied and scored a coup against army officers there who have been loyal to the Jakarta government. The government forces fought back into control of 4f it being driven by Frank DuBord, 59, 507 Capitola road.

The Soviet party chief made the remark in a discussion with three U.S. observers of Sunday's single slate elections for the Supreme Soviet Russia's parliament. None of the 1378 party nominated candidates was opposed and the government says 99.97 per cent of the voters or 133 million turned out.

Khrushchev admitted the party is consulted on the choice of candidates, but that the final decision is made at pre-election meetings in the nation's various districts. He talked for 105 minutes with three observers on the election, U.S. unemployment and other issues. The observers were Richard Scammon of the U.S. Government Affairs Institute; Cyril E.

Black, a Princeton history professor, and Hedley Donovan, editor of Fortune magazine. They told of their talk with the party boss at a news conference with Soviet and foreign newsmen. Khrushchev said the Soviet election system is superior to the one in the United States. U.S. candidates, the party chief said, need a wealth of material resources behind themt while in Russia "any man or woman on the basis of ability alone can run for office." Soviet newsmen asked the U.S.

observers whether they thought the Soviet eleotions were democratic enough to insure the voters free expression. Scammon replied: "Certainly not in an American or Western sense." He said lark of secrecy in voting, the one candidate system and "the whole atmosphere of an election which is conducted as a demonstration of support for the regime" all make the Soviet system "un-democratic by American allegedly failed to halt at an arterial stop sign on 41st avenue at the Capitola road inter-sfction.
