Rep. Craig Hosmer

held

out the possibility Friday

that some of the Navy's

land in Long Beach will

be returned to the city

af te r th e Long Beach

Nava l S ta t ion is

shut

down in 1974.

But the Long Beach

congressman said the De-

fense

Department could

no t give a definitive an -

swer at

thistime because

it is still

studying

the

question.

In

the meantime, he

said, the Pentagon has

sought to answer a n um -

ber ofotherquestionsthat

had been put to i t by city

officials.

ma ted s ince the Departmentof Motor Vehicle doesn ot

provide the fee charts for

these

said.

Model rule?

Park workers presently stop model boat activity at

El Dorado

Park.

W hy doesn't Long Beach provide an

area

where

a

model boat enthusiast

m ay

pursue

his

hobby?

B.D.

Mo d e l boats either

jet-propelled or

powered

by

in ternal combustion engines are not allowed a t El

Dorado

Park

because of noise and safety factors, ac-

cording to a spokesman for the Recrea t ion Depart-

ment .

Bu t

radio-controlled sailboats

an d

ba t te ry-power-

ed boats ar e

permitted.

A

policy

in effect

since A pril

stipulates that the boats may be no more than 72 long

and may not be operated at speeds faster t han 10 miles

pe r hour. Nopolicy has yet been established for the

presen t ly-unopened northe rn sec t ion

of El

D o r a d o

Despite massive county-

wide ra ids by sheriff's

deputies

on

topless

an d

bottomless bars

in the

wa k e

of a new

State

Su -

preme Court dec is ion ,

Long Beach police plan no

immediate swoops on the

city's sole place

of

such

entertainment.

There are two reasons

for th e

tempora ry

im -

m un i t y e n j o y e d by

Abner 's F ive , 4200 Lake-

wood Blvd., according to

Deputy City At ty. A r t h u r

Y.

Honda .

O n e , which would

be

sufficient in i ts e lf , is a

preliminary injunction ob-

ta ined

by the

operators

which bars Long Beach

police from enforcing

local laws against topless

and

bottomless dancing.

In

spite

of the state

cour tdecision, the injunc-

tion stands until

it is

lifted

by the court which issued

i t , Honda sa id . This

might take severa l

weeks .

When the city attorney's

office receives a copy of

th e

S up re m e C o ur t dec i -

sion, it will take it to

court as a basis for

r e m o v a l

of the

p re l im i -

n a r y i n j u n c t i o n , H o n d a

said. But even then, the

city will have to wait the

cus tomary

10

days g ran t-

ed the other side to pre-

pare and present argu-

ments.

Even without the in-

junction

an y

raids

at the

present time would have

only ha ras sment va lue

which is the case in the

county-wide ra ids , Honda

said. He said the State Su-

preme Cou rt dec ision is -

sued last Tuesday, which

upholds the authority of

local government

to en-

fo rce laws against n ud e

entertainment in places

where food

or

drink

is

sold, has a 30-day

tive date.

SOURCES

close

to the

city, howeve r, suggested

that th e Navy might be

taking

credit fo r

savings

that had already been

slated, including the

scheduled decommission-

ing of the

hospital ship

USS Repose.

The

Pentagon's esimate

did not indicate

whether

the 450

military termina-

tions

include

the 300-odd

me n on the Repose, bu t

the sources said they

think it does indicating

that

the

Pentagon's

annu-

al savings figure may be

larger than it should

otherwise be.

Hosmer went on to say

tha t a support ac t iv i ty

will be established at the

Navy shipyard that will

ut i l ize

3 00 military an d

60 0

civilian personnel.

They ' l l p rovide public

wo rk s , s up p ly , security

and fire protection.

IT

W A S N ' T

clear

whether

th e

supp ly se rv-

ice would be an extension

of

th e present

supp ly

depot on the

base,

or a re-

duced version of it.

McCullough told Hos-

m er

that

th e

shipyard

workload will be

increas-

ed in 1974 , wit h a daily

carrying load of

from

25

to

30 ships a day.

Hosmer said th e Penta-

go n could not immediate-

ly say how m uc h wo rk

would

be

lost

by

private

shipyards in this area as

a

result

of the scheduled

base

closure.

He said

an

answer could

be expec ted nex t week .

City

officials

had put six

questions to the Defense

Department

in an

effort

to

asce rta in how the pen ta -

go n

a rr ived

at its

sav-

ings figures.
