Purcell, state director of public works, says there is no longer reason for confusion or misunderstanding Cf facts concerning the states highways, roads and streets. But whether there is reason or not, the confusion has been created through the minority report of the Collier joint legislative committee and by the activities of the Western Oil and Gas Association and the trucking interests. The oil and gas association is opposing gasoline tax increases in general, and the truckers are opposed to paying what the majority of the Collier committee believes would be their fare share of highway taxes. The committee, which has been studying the subject for two years, asserts that highway revenues at the current rate of taxation will fall $957,000,000 short of producing enough to carry out the ten-year program required to modernize Californias street and highway system in the interests of public safety find convenience.

This position is supported by Mr. Purcell and Was backed by Governor Warren in his special highway message cn Jan. 13. Opponents do not use the ten-year period. They present figures purporting to show that for the next four years the planned expenditures will be covered adequately by revenues Bccruing at the current gasoline tax rate of three cents a gallon.

Mr. Purcell says these figures are incorrect and that the opponents of the program are deliberately disseminating false I I fa I 4 A i EASY DECISION Superior Judge Frank C. Collier (left) found it easy in court today to approve a contract between dark-haired Karolyn Martin, 19, and Warner Brothers studios. Miss Martin, who was graduated from South Pasadena High School in 1945, was coached by Carl Heinz Roth, former Pasadena Playhouse director, before landing the seven-year contract, starting at $100 a week with six-month options. The actress lives with her mother and stepfather at 1627 South Los Robles Avenue, San Marino.

An order for extra chairs for the Council Chambers at the City Hall was placed today in anticipation of an oveiflow attendance at tomorrows meeting of the Board of City Directors at hich abandonment Tournament Park will be discussed. The hearing starts at 10.3b a. m. Judge Edwin F. Hahn, chairman of the Citizens Committee supporting sale of the park to California Institute of Technology, has invited all members of his group to be present to voice support of the measure which will be on the March 13 ballot.

Mrs. H. L. Gianetti, representing the Pasadena Park Protective League, has invited all those who oppose the abandonment of Tournament Park to attend and voice opposition. When City Directors agreed to place the issue on the ballot it was with the understanding that funds obtained from the sale of the park would be reinvested in substitute park grounds in the same neighborhood.

Full details of Pasadena's neigh-boihood and community park'plans will be given at the hearing by Ted Adsit, City Planning Commission director. Sale Approved The board of directois of the Junior Chamber of Commerce was on record today as approving and intending to aid the California Institute of Technology in its attempt to find badly-needed expansion loom by buying Tournament Park from the city. Myron C. Thomas, Junior Chamber president, said board members will attend tomorrows hearing in the City Hall to voice their support for the sale of the park to Caltech. At the same time, it was announced that the Junior Chambers Get-Out-the-Vote Committee will take an active part in publicizing both sides of the controversy and in seeking a large turnout for the city primary election March 13.

SLAYING SUSPECT ARRESTED Under-Sheriff Art Jewett of Inyo County shown with (right) Edward H. Evans, Pasadena suspect who assertedly confessed to slaying of Capt. Frederick F. Moore, deputy city marshal in Pasadena. Picture was taken shortly after Evani arrest near Olanche.

As a guide for further action on the City of Pasadenas appeal of a County Planning Commission rul-j ing. which demed Pasadena the right to explore the Tri-City Sewer I Farm for oil, the County Board of Supervisees today decided to study the official transcript of the hearing held the Planning Commission. Although the City of Pasadena had requested a hearing on jts appeal, the Supervisors did not grant it today, but instead continued the matter for two weeks. Study Transcript Between now and Feb. 7 the Supervisors will analyze testimony re-coided from witnesses who appeared at two hearings before the Planning Commission last year.

The Supervisors could decide the appeal on Feb. 7 without any further testimony but they could also allow another hearing should they desire. Points Out Error Supervisor William A. Smith said that the proceedings are in error in referring to the Sewer Farm as be-j ing located in the Wilmar aiea. He said that it is the Alhambia district.

The Supervisors this morning also took under advisement for two weeks the appeal of August and Emma Mueller for a zoning exception to operate a plant nursery at 2201 East Washington Stieet in Altadena.

Then a vision of the future mate should appear. Not for me; I like my eats, said one Junior College co-ed. I dont want to see a vision of my future husband.

He might be fat and bald. INS has polled the country, however, and finds that, for example, Jeanne Frctz of Bradford, thought it a fine idea and intends to take a chance. Nanoy De Mussy of Canton. Ohio, didn't know anything about St. Agnes, the Roman girl, who suffered martyrdom at the age of 12 under the cruel Emperor Valerian in the Third century, to thus become the patron saint of young girls.

She thought the idea pretty good and said that girls didn't show much spirit when they put dinners before husbands. But, in Pasadena, the girls generally will be around when the dinner gong rings tonight.

Frederick F. Moore, 65, in a cafe at 37 North Arroyo Parkway Thursday. 17-Page Confession In a 17-page confession signed by Evans at Independence under questioning by Undersheriff Art Jewett, the former boxer said the shooting grew out of an argument with Moore in a Monterey Park cafe about Christmas time.

Moore had been assigned on a Los Angeles Municipal Court order to collect $157 on a writ filed against Evans sister, Eleanor Madias, proprietor of the Arroyo Parkway cate, and her estranged husband, Frank Madras. The argument starteu at Madras establishment and was carried to its conclusion at Mrs. Madias cafe, Evam told police. Brought to Pasadena last night by Detectives Ed Fleck, Walton Talley and Fred Hoocker, Evans was vague on the details of the alleged shooting. Chief of Detectives Stanley D.

When he says the department will have no unencumbered funds at the end of the present fiscal year and that he has been Compelled to defer $40,000,000 of urgently needed work in submitting the departments budget for next year, the public has every reason to believe him. Probably the public will believe him, and so will a majority of the Legislature. The facts he presented to the California State Chamber of Commerce were sufficiently convincing to cause that rather hard-headed body to go on record for any reasonable, required increase in the motor vehicle fuel tax and Jt the imposition of any new special highway user taxes (designed to meet the needs.
