H's Movieiand HotelBy ANTHONY BURTON 5
Staff Correspondent of Tiis NEWSLos Angeles, Aug. 11-Fantasy ruled not so long
on the land where the gigantic $500 million complexof buildings called Century City now stands. Here,fake cowboys strutted along false-fronted westernstreets and phony explorers struggled through bogusAfrican jungles. -
Then it was the back lot of 20th Century-For studios andthousands of men and women spent their days spinning fairytales for the worldfs screens. Now the miniature city of thefuture is here, dominated by the ultra-modern hotel, the Cen-tury Plaza.
Today, Secret Service men and high police officials met inthe hotel to consider a situation so extraordinary that derisiveeyebrows might have been raised if it had been offered at astory conference in the old days. v
A Fete for Asfros eIt was not enough that in two days s state dinner would
-be held in the banquet room of the hotel for the three moon1� astronauts. It was not enough that President Nixon would be
'arriving from the summer White House down the coast atSan Clemente. It was not enough that antiwar protest groupswere planning a showdown wi police outside the liote .
On top of all these security problems, local law enforce-ment officials were struggling with bizarre mass killings, aneffort that was using their resources to the utmost.
As the hunt went into its third day, police also had to dealwith repeated demands from residents in isolated areas foradditional police patrols. _
Looks Through BinocularsNobody was using the word panic, but it was not far away
early this morning as neighbors gathered in the sulty dark-ness outside 3301 Waverly Dr. in the Los Feliz section of thecity. From the roadway,.they could just make out smears oiblood on the walls of the living room. One youngster had apair of binoculars to bring the scene into closer focus.
The bodies of Leno and Rosemarie La Bianca were stillinside and detectives were starting work on the inevitablequestion: was there a link between this and the killing ofactress Sharon Tate and four others Friday night? Was amad killer at large, able_to strike again and again?
As High Cop Sees IfOne woman pulled her robe closer around her, hugging
herself as if chilled, although the night was warm. �I don'tknow what to do� she said. �I can't sleep knowing whoeverdid this is stiLl free. How can anyone_ go to sleep�! I'll haveto stand here all night. I feel better seeing that policemanat the gate." _ _ -
Later a gray-haired police inspector came out and said hedid not think there was any connection between the two cases.If it was meant as a reassurance for the neighbors it wasnot helpful. _
All it meant was that there was a surfeit of madness,enough for two separate horrors. The enemy was within thegat-as and nobody was safe.
