And PALO ALTO TIMES, TUESDAY, JAN. 19, 1965-3 Palo Alto park site given OK A 4-acre orchard site the Arastradero Road fire station was all but selected by the Palo Alto City Council Monday night as the site of a new neighborhood park. The council was sitting as a committee of the whole and couldn't take formal action. However, the reaction to the site, owned by Giacomo Sambuceto, appeared unanimously vorable. MAIN PROBLEM The major question, councilmen indicated, is whether six homes on Maybell Avenue should be razed for the initial park development or added as the present, tenants vacate the premises.

The homes are owned by Sambuceto and are not legally subdivided from the orchard land. If the homes are excepted, the initial park would be about three acres, below the normal standard, according to City Manager Jerry Keithley. He also said the park should have open frontage on Maybell, As suggested by Keithley, the park would be located west and north of the fire station, with frontage on Arastradero, and Maybell. Marion Hill, Greenacres Citizens Association, said the fire station site was the best of four alternatives offered by Keithley. SUPERVISION "It's flat and accessible and the fire house will be a stabilizinfluence, a kind of silent supervision," Hill said.

He suggested a development similar to Mayfield Park on Park Boulevard. Enid Pearson, spokesman for Palo Altans for Recreation and Conservation of Open Space (PARKS), also endorsed the fire station site. Mrs. Pearson said the city should attempt to get the entire four acres but three would be adequate for the time being. Keithley said Sambuceto is not anxious to sell the property and that condemnation probably will be required.

The councilhas budgeted $150,000 for the project. The other three sites, all considerably smaller, are on Arastradero adjacent to the new 8- story Tan apartment building, on Arastradero Road two properties west of the Sambuceto property and on Maybell, opposite Loma Vista School.

Johnson told Congress he would ask for more than $300 million to continue the program for "extending the life and improving the capabilities" of some 630 B52s in the fleet of the Strategic Air Command. But he also disclosed that about 30 of the big birds, the first of the covey and now the least effective, would be dropped from the force.

Arthur M. Walters, William Cubberley and Francis Wallace, planning commissioners who have been studying utility wiring for more than a year, said areas in Arizona and Southern California are far ahead of Northern California in respect to utility esthetics.

"The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has for years encouraged underground utilities," their report said. In contrast, they said, only 12,000 residences in the Bay Area are served by underground utilities. The committeemen also said new techniqes in laying wiring underground the have cut past costs in year about $150 for an average city lot. COST PICTURE "The cost picture is coming down so fast that within two years there will be no differin costs between overhead utilities and underground utilities," their report stated. The committee recommended immediate ordinances to ban overhead utlities for new homes.

Because of present high by private, contractors charges, 1 homeowners, the committee also recommended that Pacific Gas Electric Co. own, install and maintain the ducts and wires from the property line to the electric meter. They also recommended the company be required to own and provide all service and secondary wires in the public right of way. They suggested laying both Specials AUTO SEAT COVERS STORES 2988 Reg.

As of today, the SRAM still is a concept for which no development contract has been let. It apparently is intended to replace the Hound Dog missile with which B52s are now armed. A B52 can carry only two Hound Dogs, one under each wing. The SRAM would be smaller, thus increasing the bomber's armament.

Seventy-five parents showed up to argue with the district administration about various alternative proposals for a manent" boundary settlement among five Sunnyvale schools in the Cupertino district-Serra, Nimitz, San Antonio, West Valley and Garden Gate schools. As many as 320 students would be affected in a "gray zone" between the various schools.

The gray zone is bounded roughly by Homestead Road, The Dalles, Mary Avenue and Stevens Creek. EQUALIZING District Supt. Charles Knight told the parents at the Monday night study meeting most of them from Serra School that some school districts make annual transfers in gray zones to equalize attendance at the various schools in an area but that he wants to draw relatively permanent boundaries in the abovementioned area and use portable classrooms to equalize the annual pupil loads. It was the portables that caused the biggest ruckus at the meeting, when district officials explained that one reason for School trustee raps Palo Alto on election plan The Palo Alto Unified School District Board of Trustees has refused to hold a joint election March 2 with the City of Palo Alto, but Trustee Horace Anderson is still unhappy over city plans to hold a separate election on the same date. He told his fellow trustees Monday night that the city's use of school do district polling places for the two elections will cause confusion between the two issues the school tax election and the city's civic center referendum.

"I feel the city has gained its purpose of having a joint election, Anderson said. He said the city's decision to hold an election on March 2 after the school district trustees had vetoed a joint election was "an affront to the board of education and the school district administration." Yo-yo tournament set in Ravenswood A Yo-yo tournament will be held Saturday at the Ravenswood Recreation and Park District gymnasium, 550 Bell Street, East Palo Alto. Contests will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the gymnasium and at the Kavanaugh and Brentwood school playgrounds. Finalists will compete in the district finals Feb.

13 at the gymnasium. the proposed transfer of some pupils away from the overcrowded Serra School was the administation's desire to remove three portables from that school for emergency use elsewhere. Some parents asked that the portables be left at Serra so their children wouldn't have to be transferred, but district officials explained that the only justification for purchasing portables is their ability to be moved from school to school to relieve emergency pupil loads. CONFERENCE Knight agreed to meet later with a committee of parents from the five affected schools to try to find a boundary solution agreeable to as many persons as possible. He said another public meeting would be called if such a solution is found.

Knight said a final solution isn't necessary for several months but that he hopes to reach one in about one month. School officials said Serra School is overcrowded, with three portable classrooms already in use there, while West Valley and Nimitz schools each have five vacant classrooms. They added that San Antonio and Garden Gate schools are already full. Some parents suggested that the extra classrooms be left vacant until nearby residential construction fills them. in arm By ELTON C.

Judge Harold Cox, who will preside at the trial, ordered defense lawyers to get their various motions on file by next Monday. A hearing on them will be held Jan. 26. Action by the judge, a sharp critic of the civil rights drive, came after several conferences in Jackson Monday with John Doar of Washington, chief of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Doar has been in Jackson since he assisted in presenting the case to the 23-member federal grand jury that later indicted 18 men on the conspiracy charges.

Two of the men both reported to have given confessions to the FBI were arrested and freed on $5,000 bond. Horace D. Barnette, 25, surrendered to an agent in Shreve-ence port, La. James E. Jordan, 38, was picked up in Atlanta, Ga.

The SRAM, the first models of which presumably would have a range of about 100 miles, would deliver a nuclear warhead against pinpoint targets air bases, missile launching sites, command posts while the bomber remained outside of a heavy 10- cal defense system. It would be what the military likes to call a "standoff" or "suppressive" weapon rather than one designed for mass destruction. Conviction of Negro overturned WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court has underlined this basic law on free speech and assembly in a civil rights case: demonstrators must be peaceful and they may be curbed if public order requires. In its ruling Monday the court also reaffirmed that "our constitutional command of free speech and assembly is basic and fundamental and encompasses peaceful social protest, so important to the preservation of the freedoms treasured in a democratic society."
