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.

Y ou now have you r license

according to a
spokesman
at
Sunset Ford.
He
said
registration fees for motorhomes

ma ted s ince the Departmentof Motor Vehicle doesn ot
provide the fee charts for
these
vehicles as they do for
passenger cars. Our salesmen

deal-
ing
with such
a larg e unit, it 's hard to be 100 per cent
accurate, th e spokesman
said.

trationpapers as aserviceto thecustomer, he added .
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
Park , the spokesman sa id . You migh t
petition

p a r t m e n t

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
e ffec -
tive date.

with the city aside from
the topless-bottomless
question, Honda
said.
Tn e
city
is now citing the
establishment every si x
days for continuing to
operate as an
entertain-
ment cafe without having
a n e n t e r t a in m e n t c a f e
pe rmit .
A
showdown battle on
this
issue is foreseen fo r
next Tuesday, when
Renba

scheduled
to
go
before the City Council
to apply for its entertain-
ment ca fe pe rmit .

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

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
h ad
a rr ived
at its
sav-
ings figures.
