Garden Club Wins Fair Knight Wants Politics Taken Out Of State Hospital Probe County Fair Attendance Is Higher By Wally Trabing Well over 2300 paid admissions passed through (and a few unpaid passed over) the gates of the Santa Cruz County fair in its opening day yesterday. The 2049 adults and 325 children are a substantial increase in attendance over last year, Ted Johnson, fair manager, said last night.

In 1955, 1713 adults and 224 children were counted on the first day. This year's fair is great. Because of one huge tent housing non-agricultural exhibits instead of two smaller ones, the grounds have become more compact, a pediatric improvement which will be welcomed by many. Exhibits in the big tent are worth a trip alone. The division of forestry gives a break to the county loggers by a mechanical display at a logging landing and an educational recording of operations.

A first aid station has been set up near the entrance to the tent by the county hospital and nurses are on duty from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. A realistic display of weapons and escape articles are on display at the county sheriff's booth. The weapons, a wierd collection of homemade guns, sawed off rifles, clubs and knives, were all taken from persons at the time of arrest. Another board holds a collection of items used by prisoners in their attempt to escape.

One prisoner filed a key from a tablespoon. Included in this lot is a can opener. You can join the army, navy, air force, and marines and get everything but the oath. The latest in hqme organs are displayed and their soft vibratos fill the tent with music. Respective representative of Stevenson and Eisenhower are busy, busy, busy, busy, beneath huge portraits of the men.

The civil defense shows what food provisions a family should always have on hand in case of an atomic attack, so that they can remain indoors until the radioactive "fall-out" subsides. The Santa Cruz public library shows the amazing readership of the youngsters. A live nutria, the commercially raised fur animal, sleeps quietly in its pen before the booth promoting it. An exhibit feature, Nocturnal Education, the new recording device which teaches while you sleep, its drawing many visitors. You put a tiny speaker under your pillow at night and set the time clock.

The records on improvement in memory and personality play during" the night while you sleep. For the art fans, there is the art competition gallery and another exhibit of work by students of the Santa Cruz evening high school. Franz Baum is the instructor. Nearby is the photo gallery. Santa Cruz county schools are represented by a huge display of student work.

One of the projects includes a sailboat. A flood control demonstration model by the US army engineers will bring back vivid memories to Santa Cruzans. The model is in two parts one showing a river similar to the-San Lorenzo the other shows the same river with proper flood control -iias Fair cow, resting contentedly Is Apel Ayer Princes Penelope. Father stayed home. OOO are guilty." To date, only two Modesto employes have been suspended pending a hearing before the state personnel board.

The governor, at his news conference, spoke tip in the midst of a dispute between Brown's office and Chairman Bruce Allen, San Jose, of the assembly social welfare committee, one of two legislative committees looking into the situation at Modesto. Allen referred to a report prepared by special agent Joseph Martino of Brown's staff and called it "weasel-worded" and full of hearsay. Brown replied it took "shocking testimony" about alleged conditions at the hospital to prod the state department of mental hygiene to take vigorous action. Knight noted that September 11 he asked the attorney general "to do a very simple thing to state whether or not he had sufficient evidence to support charges against employes contained in his report." He said he would ask Dr. Walter Rapapoit, mental hygiene director, again to call on Brown with the same query.

"Then we can have some action instead of a debate in the press," he said Was he a.sking Brown to "put up or shut up?" "Precisely," the goevrnor said. He offered the observation, too, that "a dispute between a merv ber of the legislature and the attorney general can't possihlv relieve human misery or punish the guilty." Knipht said he wanted it understood he was not accusing Brown a potential Democratic opponent in the 1053 gubernatorial election of political motives. He remarked, however, "here is the attorney general of the state the chief law enforcement officer quarrelin? with an assemblyman over whether hearsay is evidence." The Republican governor said the test will be whether Brown can come forward with enough evidence to proceed against Mo- dc'o mloyes. lie said it has always been the policy of the nipntn! health de- i partment to take action against 1 emploves guilty of mistreating mental patients.

Santa Cruz Has Plenty Of 'Extras' The chamber of commerce staff has been answering telephone calls ever since The Sentinel told the story yesterday of the Ben Hecht movie company coming to town next January. Almost everybody in town wants a job as a movie "extra." Red seems to be a favorite color with the men this year (and fashion experts might t.ike notc because most of the male inquiries have been regarding a job as a "Redcoat soldier." The movie company may stuit filming in January on the Cosvell property, the George Bernard Shaw play "The Devil's Disciple." The movie will have Sir Laurence Olivier, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Gift and Elizabeth Taylor in the cast. Extras and workmen will be taken from the area, said Ralph Ring, manager-secretary of the chamber of commerce. The movie company is awaiting a decision from the Screen Actors guild, on whether the guild will waive the "300 air mile rule." (The rule stipulates that any movie produced within 300 miles of Western and Wilshire streets in Hollywood, has to use Hollywood carpenters, workers and laborers.) "This makes an expensive production of any movie," said Ring, who appealed to the guild last week in the name of Mavor Paul E. Forgey and the county board i of superv.sors, to waive the rule.

Ring expects a decision from the guild next week. The company, consisting about 200 people, would be on location here for about five months, and is expected to spend at least $360,000 on board and room alone, said Ring.

Knight called on Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown today to "put up or shut up" on his charges of brutality and mismanagement at Modesto State hospital. The Republican governor coupled this plea to the Democratic attorney general with word that he was joining the California Mental Health society in asking that the multiple investigations at Modesto be "removed from politics or political overtones."

Eisenhower, Gov. and Mrs. Leo Hoegh and Sen. Hickenlooper, Iowa, started through the crowd, shaking hands and exchanging comments with the Iowans.

Eisenhower was to speak informally later here on farm topics and again at the Dcs Moines airport beiore taking off for Washington at mid-afternoon. The president and Mrs. Eisen hewer, who spent the night in the heme of Mrs. Eisenhower's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
