Disneyland Park To Be Unveiled Today In History's Biggest Television Show Hollywood (U.R) The big gest one-network television show in history featuring everything from Davy Crockett to 500 homing pigeons today will un veil Walt Disney's $17,000,000 amusement park, Disneyland. Twenty-four cameras, a be hind camera staff of 63 and "the most complicated technical set up in the TV industry" will be used for the long-awaited pro gram over ABC-TV from 3:30 to 5 p.m. (PST) (Editor's note: The program will be carried by sta tion KBES-TV.) The program will combine a dedication of the 160-acre park with a press preview for report ers and columnists from all over the nation, plus press represent atives from 30 foreign countries. 30.000 Cuttts Expected Besides newsmen and friends invited by ABC-TV and Disney park also issued Invitations for a Studio, the concessionaires in the grand total of 30,000 guests and assorted freeloaders. The TV program, "Dateline Disneyland," has been under re hearsal since May 21. ABC offi cials insisted "It's the largest in terms of cameras, personnel and scope ever covered by a single network and our problems have been staggering." The show will begin with Walt Disney arriving as engineer on the Disneyland railroad that runs three miles around the park. California Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and Fred Gurley, pres ident of Santa Fe Railroad, will be "starred" with him. After a dedication by three chaplains, the San Diego Marine band will play while 80 jet planes roar overhead. To Ride Down Street Disney then will ride in a 1901 automobile down the old-fashioned main street, lined with real stores and restaurants, that is the entrance to the park. Each of the four sections of the park will contribute its own "spectacular" show. Fess Bark er, as- Davy Crockett, Irene Dunne and a 160-foot paddle wheel steamboat will be stars of the "Frontierland" section. At "Tomorrowland" viewers will see a synthetic rocket trip to the moon. Those 500 pigeons will flutter out of a clock as "a salute to peace." Forty-eight Boy Scouts also will raise flags of the 48 states. Boat Ride Offered Next viewers will be treated to a look at "Adventureland," where customers can take a boat ride past make believe wild animals. The final super-colossal event will be the lowering of the drawbridge into the castle in "Fantasyland." Three -.hundred children will rush across the drawbridge to try out the amuse ment rides in the shape of Dumbo elephants, Peter Pan characters and other figures from Disney's famed cartoons. "If this doesn't beat Ed Sulli van (on CBS) I don't know what will," an ABC spokesman said. The opeing of the park is the climax to Disney's 30-year car eer of entertaining both adults and children. Construction be gan one year ago today. The park opens to the public Monday. The capacity will be held to 40,000 in the park at any one time. Holly Leaf Miner Found in Portland Salem (U.PJ The holly leaf miner was found last week in a three-acre holly orchard on Northwest 53rd drive in Port land's West Hills, the State De partment of Argiculture said.
