Los Angeles faces possible placement in the D fund under a Nixon admin plan for federal transit aid. Supervisors urge placing LA in A fund, arguing the city needs a modern system. They protest the plan and seek help from Cranston and Tunney.
The Los Angeles area county supervisors voted to cosponsor a memorial tribute to jazz great Duke Ellington at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, June 30. The event will be led by Murcel Ellington with a 25 piece orchestra, featuring Cat Anderson and Jimmy Jones, and a $1 admission fee. Tickets are available at the Bowl box office and select agencies. A Santa Barbara firm won a $398,860 contract to design an improved command and control system for the county Fire Department, approved 4-1 with Supervisor Baxter Ward dissenting.
Ward attempted to persuade Dist. Atty. Joseph Busch to seek court permission to refire the weapon linked to Sirhan in the Kennedy assassination. He held a hearing where criminologists noted distinct bullet markings from Kennedy and a bystander. Supervisors Schabarum Debs and Hayes opposed reopening the inquiry, saying the grand jury and district attorney already investigated it. Ward said he would pursue the matter privately.
The Los Angeles board postponed action on a 43 million dollar 1974 75 county budget cut via a hiring freeze. The plan would ax 1 400 of 1 800 new posts and halt replacement hiring for 2 percent of the workforce, with quarterly reviews. Burglars broke in at 221 E Artesia Blvd taking appliances valued at 875 from Winford Moore’s apartment.
