I c. UNFRIENDLY LY BEA BEACHES REPEL CAMPER (This is the second in a series of articles on the shortage of recreational. facilities on Southern California's beaches.) BY PAUL WEEKS Staff Writer A man with a station wagon full of kids, a tent still folded in the luggage carrier, and his long-dreamed-of vacation on the beach dwinding away isn't exactly overjoyed by news like this: The State Division of Beaches and Parks' fiveyear program should reach a total of $112 million by 1961, according to Newton B. Drury, retiring chief. "Yeah?" says the man.

"But where can I pitch my tent?" There are seven beach parks in Southern California with 379 family camping and 162 trailer units available today. In 1956, at the BEGINNING of the program, there were also seven state beach parks in the area--with 430 camping units and 235 trailer hookups available. Where else can you get "progress" like that these days? One-fourth of the American public goes in for outdoor vacations -double what it was only a few years ago. The popularity of boating, water-skiing, skin-diving, fishing and tidepool-exploring has soared. Sport trailerling is.

booming. But the state has gone backward instead of making any attempt to meet the demand overnight beach facilities. Doheny Beach State Park, a favorite of campers for more than 20 years because it's only 36 miles below Long Beach, was closed in 1957 because of a water pollution problem. That was corrected. But when the park was reopened last fall, the state division in general in Southern will decreed it was for day use fornia, that the division use.

Maybe not the best music, but music. Now an anonymous city employee asks bitterly, "Why must we be submitted to this torture?" In a letter to councilmen and other city officials this disenchanted person writes, "We are not workers doing monotonously routine and repetitive tasks during which music would be welcome relief. We are not patients in an asylum who must have music as therapy to rouse us from our stupor or to calm us in our frenzy.

We are not sitting in doctors' offices to be soothed while we contemplate our ills and bills; nor are we 'in some secluded rendezvous' whiling away the time. We are in the City Hall, eight hours a day, trying to do a day's work without distraction." THE DISSENTER goes on, "Should you enter our beautiful rotunda you are apt to be greeted with the strains of 'Embraceable You' or I Don't Want to Walk Without You, Baby' or 'It's Been a Long, Long This is dignity in the City Hall?" No, and come to think of it, dignity is pretty hard to find anywhere else in the joint. LOS ANGELES EVENING MIRROR NEWS Code of Ethics Bill Given Legislature Sponsors Aim at Lawmaker Interest Clash BY RICHARD BERGHOLZ Political Editor SACRAMENTO, April 28-The Legislature, painfully aware it never has been able to settle the "conflict of interest" issue, was asked today to make a new stab at it. A measure, with bipartisan sponsorship, was introduced spelling out a "code of ethics" for legislators and legislative employees. It calls on lawmakersto notably forswear lawyer conduct which puts their private or professional interests in conflict with their official duties.

But it stops short of any specific penalty. Conflict of Interest The measure, introduced by Assemblymen Frank Lanterman (R-La Canada) and Allen Miller (D-San Fernando), is the product of extensive study by the Citizens Advisory Committee on Legislative Process, headed by Max Eddy Utt, Los Angeles attorney. A special subcommittee helped draft the bill. It starts out with the glowing statement that "no member of the Legislature or legislative employee shall have any interest or engage in any business or professional activity which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest." Then the bill gets down to specifics: No legislator or legislative employees can accept any employment or any retainer for appearances before any state board or agency.
