unsuccessfully for the State Board of Equalization in 1970 The field of declared candidates for county supervisor from the 3rd District appeared almost certain to expand today to at least six with Mrs Sandra Smoley and Don Burton apparently on the verge of officially announcing their candidacy For Burton the owner of four womeifs shoe stores candidacy would mean a second try for the position now held by Supervisor James Phelan Burton conducted an unsuccessful campaign to unseat Phelan in 1968 al though he as the biggest vote-getter in the primary elction Ile lost to Phelan in a run-off For Mrs Smoley the wife of Dr Eugene Smoley candidacy would mean her first attempt in public politics although she long has been active in a variety of civic and charitable activities in the community Neither would commit themselves to entering the race today but neither would they deny they would run "Recently a group of people who supported me four years ago has urged me to run" Burton acknowledged "I have hesitated and can't say yes or no right now I will make a statement one way or the other next month" Mrs Smoley would only comment that she was not ready to announce her intentions "right now" Already on record as intending to seek the 3rd District position are Daniel Syrek a director of the Arden Park Recreation and Park District attorney Jerry Guthrie Elwood Keema

printout has a suggested letter pleading for humane treatment of US prisoners release of all names and internment of the POW-s in a neutral country like Sweden or Switzerland Gerald Hansen secretary-treasurer of Crystal Cream and Butter Company authorized the printing of the letter writing plea on the milk cartons after a group of wives of prisoners made a personal and tearfully
