Menlo Liquor Sale By MYRON MYERS Tribune Writer MENLO PARK Alto Park community councilmen did an about-face last night and withdrew their support for a proposal to revoke all liquor a licenses in the East Menlo Park "problem area" at the WillowNewbridge corner.
Following heated protests from tavern owners, they decided to rescind letters supporting the liquor ban sent last month to the Menlo Park City Council, which initiated the proposal, to San Mateo County officials and to the State Alcoholic Beverages Control (ABC) Department. By a unanimous vote, the council, unincorporated East Palo Alto's official city council, approved a motion by Mrs. Mary Alvord to write more letters rescinding the previous ones. She urged instead of a liquor ban that a group be formed to study the real needs of the community. "To revoke all licenses would punish the innocent as well as the guilty and hurt the business climate in the community," Mrs.
Alvord said. Liquor licenses in themselves do not contribute to riots and Molotov co*cktail throwing." Riotting occurred at the during the Hunter's Point uprising last September and earlier last summer. Both the Menlo Park City Council and the Belle Haven Homeowners Association oppose the sale of liquor on the corner, half of which is in Menlo Park's jurisdiction. The Belle Haven group which represents the East Menlo Park area, met last night to discuss petitions the group is circulating in opposition of liquor sales on the corner. The bars are on East Palo Alto's side.

Assessor's candidate Thomas Noonan charged today that San Mateo County assessor Ralph Woodman, after much "bluster and strong language," failed to keep a promise to answer charges of favoritism. Woodman, however, said he prepared figures to refute those offered by Noonan late last week, but was not asked about them by the Grand Jury Monday night. He released the figures Details of a massive opment plan for eight miles of bay frontage and thousands of acres of tidelands between San Francisco International Airport and the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge will be shown publicly for the first time next Thursday.
The proposal, by a combine headed by the Ideal Cement Company, is called Pacific Air Commerce Center (PAC) project and envisions an industrial park south of the airport and a residential development of private homes and high-rise apartments to the south. It would dwarf the county's two other bayfront developments, Redwood Shores and Foster City. The official public unveiling will come at a meeting of the general membership of the San Mateo County Regional Planning Committee (RPC) Nov. 101 at 8 p.m. at San Mateo City Hall.
While the Pacific Air Commerce Center project has been kept carefully under wraps by the developers during its threeyear, $60,000 planning study, preliminary details of the project were reported months ago by the Tribune. Last night the executive committee of the RPC debated committee's role in planning for the air commerce center. Committee Chairman Sam H. Halstead, a Portola Valley councilman, pointed out that the PAC project will most drastically affect the cities of San Mateo, Burlingame, and to some extent, Millbrae. He proposed a committee of representatives from the three cities and the county "to delve deeply" into the effect of the project.
Representatives from those three cities on the RPC should make up a nucleus of the committee, Halsted suggested, with the mayor appointing others. Redwood City Councilman Paul C. Keckley, also an executive committee member, questioned the need to "go out of RPC" to make the study. He suggested the RPC representatives from the three cities plus members of the RPC's bayfront subcommittee, which consists of delegates from cities fronting on the bay. "Why shouldn't the entire RPC study the matter instead of getting the warped ideas of three cities?" asked Keckley.
day. Noonan, of Daly City, a telephone company management employe, and Woodman's chief assistant, Jack H. Estes of Redwood City, are vying for the post to be vacated by Woodman when he retires at the end of the year. The election is Tuesday.

El MATEO Camino Chaffey Tells Teachers Law On Elections Dr. George Chaffey, superlintendent of the Sequoia Union High School District, last night clarified his advisory to teachers regarding the State Education Code regulations about campaigning.
Last Friday's Tribune carried a news story stating that Dr. Chaffey had sent letters to all district teachers reminding them of regulations about distribution of partisan materials through the schools. Chaffey pointed out that, actually, he did not contact all teachers. He addressed statement to Emmett Lynch, a Carlmont teacher who is president of the Sequoia District Teachers Association. He also sent copies of his letter to J.
Russell Kent and Albert R. Beardsley, the two candidates for county school superintendent at next Tuesday's election. Specifically, the advisory concerned use of teacher mailboxes for distribution of political materials. Last night, Kenneth McDevitt, president of the Teachers, Sequoia AFL-CIO, Federsubmitted a letter asking for clarification of the original newspaper story. Chaffey said he sent his letter to Lynch after telephone advice from Deputy Dist.
Atty. L. M. Summey. Summey advised the action, Chaffey said, after interpreting Education Code Section 8453, which refers to distribution of partisan materials through the school.
However, McDevitt noted that he interprets Section 13004 of the same code to mean that teachers have the right to participate in political activities during offduty hours. said he agreed with McDevitt's interpretation, but said he felt this section has no bearing on the issue because there had been no attempt to restrict political activities of employes during off-duty hours. McDevitt referred to use of the words "bitter personal attack" on Beardsley, which appeared in the original news story. The story referred to a letter which had been signed by a retired San Carlos teacher.

TO SEQUOIA HOSPITAL BOARD of DIRECTORS 163 SEQUOIA HOSPITAL STAFF DOCTORS AGREE! Endorsem*nts Given Supervisor Hopefuls 3 By WILLIAM SHANDS Tribune Staff Writer The two opponents for San Mateo County's second supervisoriai district chair continued their battle of endorsem*nts today, with only five days to go before election day Nov. 8. Challenger Robert (Bob) St. Clair, former 49er star and for-! mer Daly City mayor, announced that he had been given the endorsem*nt of former 2nd District Supervisor Edward R. McDonald.
Incumbent Supervisor A. C. (Bud) Harrison, who was appointed to succeed McDonald early this year when McDonald resigned because of ill health, said he had gotten the backing of Half Moon Bay Mayor Elbert Fernandez. And another key figure Undersheriff Wesley A. Pomeroy took pains to say that he was neutral.
Pomeroy came in third in the four-way elimination race in the June primary election. Said Pomeroy: "I have made it perfectly clear that I am remaining neutral, and any claim by anyone that my support is going to either Harrison or St. Clair simply is not true." Almost simultaneously, St. Clair released a photograph of himself and Pomeroy which St. Clair said was taken at a strategy meeting in Menlo Park a month ago.

5 in Millbrae. The next night, Pomeroy attended a similar fete for Harrison. Pomeroy refused to comment on the photograph. In his endorsem*nt of St. Clair, McDonald said he was impressed that 13 or 15 councilmen in the 2nd District had endorsed the former football player and six-year Daly City councilman.
Meanwhile, College of San Mateo President Julio Bortolazzo and Belmont Councilman Joseph Zucca, a high school teacher, were named co-chairmen of a Teachers' Committee for Harrison. St. Clair continued to press his charge that Harrison proposed that supervisors be paid a year. Harrison has answered that he favors a $25,000 a year only is the job were made full time. The dispute stems from an appearance of the two candidates Oct.
14 on College of San Mateo Channel 14. The two were being questioned during the Mateo Mosaic program. One of the questioners asked the candidates how they stood on Proposition 7 which permits boards of supervisors to set their own salaries. The question was, "Can we have a frank answer? What is an equitable salary that supervisors should get for what they do?" Harrison answered that is the job were to become full time it should command a $25,000 a year salary. St.
Clair replied that he felt that "$12,000, for the amount of work to be done is quite adequate. If we are to go to a fulltime job, I would go along with Mr. Harrison. Harrison questioned whether St. Clair could handle the supervisor's chose in one day a week at St.
Clair indicated during the television program. Truck Got Stuck: Two Youths Cited For Starting Fires BELMONT Two Belmont boys have been cited to appear before juvenile officers here for throwing a firecracker that started a fire and caused a fire truck to get stuck in wet turf at Ralston Intermediate School. That fire was one of two hillside blazes ignited by firecrack-. ers in Belmont within the past two days, Belmont Fire District Chief Harry Chamberlain reported today. Another 12-year-old youth ignited dry brush behind Carlmont High School at 5:19 p.m.
last night. Both fires were minor. The Ralston School fire occurred Tuesday afternoon, but complete reports were not available until today. The police said the two boys were lighting and throwing the firecrackers and inadvertently ignited the brush. The boys tried to extinguish the small blaze, then ran to the school and notified a custodian, who called firemen.
The truck reached the scene, and was forced to drive across the school playfield to reach the fire. On its return it hit a soft spot, and got stuck. A heavy, six-wheel-drive Army surplus vehicle which the fire department had converted to a pumper was sent to pull the fire truck out. Deep ruts in the turf were repaired yesterday by school custodians. Redwood City Tribune Published every afternoon except Sunday at 901 Marshall Street, Redwood City, California 94063.

Noonan contends that some i industries are receiving a tax break through low assessments on their properties and as a result high taxes must be paid by other property owners. In reply, Woodman called Noonan's attack at the time "a rehash of fallacious arguments" put forth in the June primary campaign and promised to "refute the whole thing again." He said he would be able to show the Grand Jury how fallacious the arguments were, and promised to release his Tuesday. He also said he planned to put his staff on overtime during the weekend to draft a formal reply to charges for submission to the jury. Woodman did not release the report Tuesday, he said today, because the Grand Jury didn't ask him about Noonan's charges although the report was ready.
He released a report ready. He released a report Tuesday to the press, but it involved charges of discrimination hurled by G. W. Holsinger, president of a small Burlingame school supplies firm. Holsinger is one of Noonan's backers.
Today, Woodman listed figures from his Grand jury report to answer Noonan's figures of last week. He said they were in line with current market values for both residential and industrial property..
