At least two of the three trustees who voted against TV said they would back the use of funds for closed circuit operation on the campus.

Hare said it was "doggoned hard" to cast a no vote that will lose the college the chance of getting a television channel. TREMENDOUSLY HARD' "It is tremendously hard, real ly, to deny a request almost a recommendation of the adminis tration." In explaining his vote, Hare said: "I personally believe that it is not our function to take education beyond the campus, here." The motion was defeated amid warnings by the two members who sponsored. "I think we're making a tre mendous mistake," charged War ren H. Frisbie, who had seconded the motion to make J125.000 avail able for construction of the sta tion. 'DRAGGING FEET' "We are dragging our feet," Frisbie said.

He charged that within 10 years the college would have to make some provision to use television and it will pay a "tremendous cost" to get it. "We will have to have it!" Frisbie and Verne F. Potter who made the motion to start con struction on the station, had stout ly fought for open-circuit television. Joseph W. Snyder and Eva M.

Kennedy had just as stoutly opposed it. Dr- H. J. Sheffield, president of the college, had made no secret that he was enthusiastic about po tentials of TV. It was at his urg ing that Valley College made application for a channel even be- ffor the State Legislature passed a bill making it legal for TV stations to be operated by junior colleges.

Dr. Sheffield pointed out that the station could be used as a technical training ground in elec tronics at the school while it served as a teaching tool in academic courses.

The twin-engine, six-place Bo nanza Aero-Commander is owned by Newton T. Bass' Apple Valley Building Development Co. It was last reported landing at Daggett at 10 a.m. for fuel and hasn't been seen since. Parked near the spot where the plane had been tied down was a car registered to R.

But he thought nothing of it, believing the owner had taken it for a flight. But then at 9:15 a.m. Bill Bar-ris, Bass' pilot and assistant to the president of the firm, went to the airport to do some work on the plane, and found it missing.

He said there were 20 gallons of gasoline left in the plane, and authorities found 40 more gallons stolen from a nearby plane belonging to Lloyd Mangrum, Apple Valley golf professional. Barris said the 60 gallons of gasoline could take the plane two hours' distance, or 400 miles.

The Cabana Club will remain open over the weekend and Monday the spa will be officially closed indefinitely, according to Glenn W. Lampier, manager of the local landmark for Rinconj Development Co. Lampier said, "It is too early to talk of future plans. We would like to reorganize and see what we can do." Back in November a federal court order postponed foreclosure sale of the hotel. LARGE SUM OWED A group of Redlands investors purchased the hotel in January 1960 from Swig's Fairmount Ho tel Corp.

The spa, on Highway 18 in the foothills north of San Bernardino, has changed hands many times over the years.

The small sailboat was shipwrecked near 5th Street and Mt.

Vernon Avenue before its hull ever touched a wave. The craft had been on display at a service station, part of a nationwide promotion. About 1 p.m. yesterday, a small whirlwind picked the craft off the ground and, according to witnesses, lifted It SO feet in the air. It dropped with a crash at a point some 70 feet from the place where it took off.

"There are 6,200 of these boats all over the country, and it had to be mine that got wrecked," station owner Al Sutton said. Sutton said the boat took off straight upward like a helicopter and came spinning down like a top. The smashed stern of the sailboat is irreparable, Sutton said.
