Directors Take the Plunge Into New Budget
Hayward Area Recreation District welcomes five new directors as they tackle a drastic budget cut aimed at reducing the 1955 56 tax rate to 25 cents. They seek to trim the $496 937 budget approved last March, with Superintendent Teel urged to cut all nonessential spending. A July 1 deadline to adopt the new budget looms as the board, elected June 7, gains autonomous powers and signals a shift from the former Board of Supervisors.

Lattimore Case To Be Dropped
Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr announced the government will drop the three year old perjury case against Owen Lattimore after the appeals court upheld a dismissal of two key counts. With those counts gone the likelihood of a successful prosecution on the remaining five is slim and the district attorney plans to seek dismissal to end the litigation. Lattimore, Johns Hopkins professor and former editor of Pacific Affairs, was involved in a 1952 perjury indictment tied to his Senate Internal Security subcommittee appearance during the Institute of Pacific Relations probe.
