Huzzah! Huzzah! That's the Miss California pageant tune after Miss Azusa Karen Kirmsse, a baton-twirling cutie, won first night talent and Miss Los Angeles Nancy Hoskins won swim suit competition in civic auditorium last night. Tables will be turned tonight as Karen and 16 other girls in her flight are judged for beauty in evening gowns and swim suits and Nan's group competes in talent. It culminated last week when the employes came before the I council to present a salary study completed at employe ex- pense and were, they felt, cut; short by McBain.

"We feel the rebuff given; to our representative was unjustifia ble and inexcusable," wrote E. Stuart, president of the employes' Santa Cruz City Civil Service in a letter to the conn cil. The situation was further aggravated Tuesday night when the council, because of the press! of a long agenda, deferred final ar i i i fr I' A I fc i I I a-V i Ax Jo i Wj Av i'i -A Xi-' tl iW I si 9 1 'vr An attempt to head off an explosion in city employe-city council relations was to be made at 4 o'clock today in a meeting between Mayor John McBain and the city employes' salary committee. The situation started when the councilmen last year deferred a $1200 salary comparison study, customarily undertaken annually, in favor of a comprehensive $5000 job classification-pay plan-salary comparison study this year. Tree Gravel7 Latest Aptos Road Gambit The natives are restless in Aptos village today.

That road is blocked off again this time with with a truckload of gravel. The road runs through private property from Soquel drive to Granite way. Whether the road is public or private is still very much at issue. Central Supply company, which leases the land from the Southern Pacific railroad, says it's not a road, but private property. Villagers say it's been used as a public road for years.

A couple of weeks ago, a carpenter from Central Supply built a two-rail redwood fence across the road just beyond the Southern Pacific tracks, which parallel Soquel drive. One dark night, someone dismantled the fence with a saw and lett the kindling in a heap by the road Yesterday, a dump truck piled The University of California at Santa Barbara sophomore is from Inglewood.

Tomorrow night, the 10 gals with the highest beauty-talent point accumulation will repeat their routines in a two-hour statewide television show. The 34th Miss California will be crowned at conclusion of the program, to be seen locally on KRON-TV, channel 4, from 9 to 11 o'clock and on KSBW-TV, channel 8, from 9:30 to 11.

The "A Very Special Girl" pa geant reviews both nights will start at 8 o'clock. Audience reaction to the fast-paced show last night was unani mous in acclaim. New curtains and simple but attractive sets by Roy Davenport provided a striking showcase for emcee Marilyn Van Derbur, fresh-appearing Miss America 1958, and the 31 contestants for the crown worn by Pamela Jean Gamble. George Cavalier, pageant executive director, said he is pleased with the production although he was conscious of a few rough spots that the audience missed. It got off 15 minutes late, which can't happen tomorrow.

Marty Pasetta, producer-director of the television show, terms the show "an excellent dress rehearsal." His 24-man crew will film the show tonight for a closed circuit monitor. "We'll be debugging it, checking the lights, angles, cameras, lenses, so we can make corrections before tomorrow." Observers in the auditorium this morning said tension is running high among the 17 talent competitors tonight. Rehearsals with the Jack Fisher orchestra ran through the lunch hour and into the afternoon. Talent tonight will include seven dancers, six singers, two readings, a flue player, a piano player, and an art display. Miss Kirmsse established herself as an early favorite.

Talent can earn twice as many points as either beauty event 10-8-6-4-2 to 5-4-3-2-1. The 5-4, brown-eyed brunette has a trim 36-23-34 figure and displayed grace and poise in the intricate dance and baton routine. The flashing silver baton spinning into dark upper reaches of the stage added to the spectacle. Her routine ended before the music and she had presence of mind to strike a series of poses. The 18-year-old Areata High graduate led her school band for four years.

She gives baton instruction in the Azusa city recreation program and hopes to become a school teacher. Nan Hoskins also is 18. She is 5-8, weighs 125, and lists sym-mertical 36-24-36 measurements. Parade proval of the city's 1963-64 budget until its July 9 meeting. Employes questioned whether the $5000 appropriation for" the comprehensive study plus a allowance "to make such salary adjustments as may be necessary," would be retained in the final budget.

Today, Stuart withheld any comment "until after the meet ing." McBain, however, made the fo lowing statement: "The city council recogniie there are inequities In the cltj pay structure and that there if a definite need at this time to' have a complete classification study made." "It would not be legal or fair to either the public or the city employes to act on any salary change prior to completion of this study." McBain acknowledged the eni-ployes' salary study but reaffirmed the council's stand that "we have a responsibility to base our decisions upon the best informa- ltion (we can) obtain, hence tha "At such time as our study is completed, we will carefully con sider the findings and make such adjustments as are required, to the extent that the financial position of the ctiy will allow.

ns -Dublin (AP). President Ken. nedy called on the small nations today to imitate Ireland's support une united. Nations as the surest guarantee of world peace. To great applause and cheers, Kennedy addressed a joint session of the Dail a parliament formed out of centuries of struggle.

The Dail opened its doors and its heart to the US President, a great-grandson of an Irish immigrant. He was the first US president ever to address the Dail. The big powers alone are no certain guarantee for the success of the UN's peacemaking efforts, the President said. "The peacekeeping machinery of the United Nations cannot work without the help of small nations," Kennedy said in a half- hour speech. "Great powers have their re sponsibilities and their burdens but the smaller mil ions of the world must fulfill their obligations as well." After receiving the freedom of the tity of Cork, Kennedy laid a wreath at the monument to 14 Irish patriots executed in the 1916 uprising against the British.

Then he came to the Dail in Dub lin. After his speech, he went to Dublin Castle to accept honorary degrees from the National univ ersity and the University of Dub lin, and the honorary freedom of the city of Dublin. He winds up his three-day Irish tour Saturday in the counties of Galway, LimencK and bhannon. The Dail's reception of Kennedy was enthusiastic, as have been all his appearances on this sentimen tal journey. Nilrita Meets Red Leaders In Berlin By Michael Goldsmith Berlin UP).

Premier Khrushchev arrived today in East Berlin for a surprise summit meeting with leaders of Societ bloc nations. Khrushchev was accompanied by his wife. Nina, but reports from Moscow made no mention of Soviet spacewoman Valentina Te-reshkova. Rumors have been persistent that he would bring her along in an effort to whip up something like the public enthusiasm that greeted President Kennedy in West Berlin. Following Khrushchev into Berlin were Polish party chief Wladyslaw Gomulka and Czechoslovak President Antonin Nov-otny.

Other satellite leaders are expected to assemble in East Berlin by Sunday, the 70th birthday of East German Communist party boss Walter Ulbricht. Ulbricht's birthday is the official pretext for the gathering. But it is the first time Khrushchev has left home to attend a birthday party for a satellite leader, and Western officials in Berlin are convinced there is much more to the trip than that. The announcement that Gomulka and Novotny also were coming produced a revision of earlier Western speculation that Khrushchev's visit was mainly a propaganda move intended to blunt the impact of President Kennedy's jubilant reception in West Berlin two days ago. The Soviet and Chinese Communist parties open talks in Moscow July 5 on their bitter dispute over the policy the Communist countries should pursue in their relations with the rest of the world.

Red Chinese leaders have marshaled public support for their stand in recent meetings with their North Vietnamese and North Korean allies. The Berlin meeting could produce new endorsements of Krushchev's position from his major European alies. MERGER APPROVED San Francisco U.S. Dist. Judge George B.

The woden sien re I mained last night, but some other someone had ripped off the paper carrying the words. Two Southern Pacific officials were in the village yesterday talking with residents and businessmen. Villagers said the railroad men seemed "surprised" by the temp est stirred up, but no official word was out on what they decided during their visit.

The villagers are split among themselves about the status of the road. Some contend it is a public right-of-way through long-continued use. Another school holds that there's no question about it the road is private property because the railroad right-of-way exists, and can't be canceled by public use. Some village groups, working with the county planning department, had drawn plans for new streets in the area to take some traffic load off Soquel drive and avoid the hazardous corner at Soquel and Trout Gulch road. The now-blocked road, an extension of Granite way, was one of the plan ned streets.

It was, that is, until the fence and the gravel pile went up. use than prejected in the pro-posed zoning plan. This is the normal pattern, since" "lighter" uses often are permitted in "dense" zones, such as one-family houses in a multiple residence area. Ivan Netoff of 821 California street said zoning should reflect the wishes of the people in the area. "Who are we planning for? The people here, or people from Nebraska who may come by?" "We're not living just for today," Netoff said.

Planning should be for the future and not merely reflect present use; of the land, he added. Of Reigning Queens Winners of last night's first round of judging in the Miss California pageant are Miss Azusa Karen Kirmsse, left, who wowed the judges with a baton-twirling act for preliminary talent winner, and Miss Los Angeles County Nancy Hoskins, right, who took preliminary swinisuit honors. Tonight the girls reverse competition areas, with Miss Los Angeles County giving an art presentation for her talent bid and Miss Azuza showing beauty in swim suit and formal gown. The pageant winds up with tomorrow night's telecast presentation of the top 10 finalists, who will compete in all three major divisions. Christine Tells All In Court London W).

Christine Keeler testified today she had relations with former War Minister John Profumo and Soviet naval attache Yevgeny Ivanov. She said money and gifts she got from Profumo were for her mother. She also told a magistrate's hearing of vice charges against 50-year-old osteopath Dr. Stephen Ward who introduced her to both men that wealthy Lord As-tor once paid the rent on an apartment she shared with party girl Mandy Rice-Davies. Miss Keeler, 21-year-old red head, was the first prosecution witness at the hearing, which sprang from revelations of her simultaneous affairs with Profumo and Ivanov.

The resulting sex and security scandal almost topped Prime Minister Macmil-lan's conservative government. Christine said she had given money to Ward. Miss Rice-Davies said the same thing when she took the stand. Miss Pise-Da vies was the sec ond witness and said that while living at the flat "I had relations with Lord Aster." When Prosecutor Mervyn Griffith-Jones asked her about Ward's friends, the 18-year-old blonde replied the only other man she heard Ward mention was American movie actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. She did not explain further the reference to Fairbanks.

Mandy also said she slept with Ward at Astor's country estate after Christine introduced them. Miss Rice-Davies said that whenever she received money from men she either loaned or gave some to Ward. By Alan Jones County planners were accused last night of "creating monopolies" with the zoning plan for Live Oak. Dorothy Weynacht of 519 Capi-tola avenue also told the board of supervisors, "I don't feel the planning commission has the right to restrict our commercial uses" of property. Her comments, which led to a late-evening debate in the audience, came before the supervisors' public hearing on precise zoning for area six south, which extends from Santa Cruz to Capi-tola south of the freeway.

Mrs. Weynacht, who spoke several times during the hearing, charged county planners are "denying us our property rights." She asked that the supervisors "prove they're a thinking board" by doing their own thinking. "We want you to respect our constitutional rights," she said. This brought a riposte from a man in the audience, who charged that some people "hide themselves behind the Constitution." He said businessmen call themselves builders of the future but "create slum areas and junk yards. I predict a slum area, especially in area 6, within 10 years," he said.

Someone piped up, "Live Oak's been a mess' for years, and suggested it was "pretty late" to do anything about it. A woman in the audience answered that the mess would only get worse without planning. The supervisors heard more than 50 requests for zoning changes, including nine new requests which must go back to the planning commission for another public hearing. Supervisor Robert Burton moved to approve many of the requests on the spot, but the board voted 4-1 to defer any decisions until a regular board meeting. Burton also wanted to send requests not settled back to the planning commission for another public hearing, but Chairman Lewis Nelson knifed that idea.v "loot's fate facts," Nelson said.

"Zoning is up to us, and we can't pass the buck to the planning commission." The planning commission had recommended granting six of more than 40 requests for change. Nearly all the requests were for denser zoning or more intensive Mi. jh ni fi'iiijiiii up J' jiinn-TTinnr rr-Hir- 1 iimmmmmmmmmt)mxmmimmtuv ii fit '1 t( hi l( V. Y-f j. i -I, i i mi 1 1.
