PUR LIB- iv.v.L Andrews Cites Inaction on Parks said later the discussions were not heated. But they sometimes became 'pointed" and "frank," he added. He said one park commissioner attributed the problem partly to the failure of the supervisors to tell the parks commission what type of program they wanted. Among the parks commissioners seeking faster physical development is James King, of 109 Los Robles in Goodyear, who has extensive land holdings near the Estrella Regional Park west of Phoenix. who are appointed from the three supervisorial districts to serve without pay, to make a study and recommend measures to revitalize the parks program.

Andrews acknowledged that the name of Eddie Brown came up a number of times at the session because "after all. he's the director, and the program is at a standstill." Brown, who is out of the state, was not invited to the meeting. ONE PARKS commissioner, who asked not to be identified. In lleinote Canyon 1 Clicllv Jets Sonic Booms Peril Indian Ruins By CLYDE A. MURRAY THE MARICOPA County Parks Department has spent $5 million in the past 10 years with little more than a set of plans to show for it, a county supervisor charged yesterday.

William S. Andrews, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said he made this statement during a meeting of the supervisors and 10 of the 14 parks commissioners. ANDREWS called the meeting to find out why the county's park system is not being developed more rapidly. The weekly session is closed to the press and public, but Andrews said later he asked why the parks department has spent $1 million on long-range planning but has, in his opinion, done little to develop the county's parks. Andrews characterized the meeting as "constructive and productive." He said both park commissioners and supervisors accepted the blame for the lack of communication between the two groups and for permitting the parks program to "drift into limbo." HE SAID the supervisors asked the parks commissioners, Canals Dry North of Salt A dry-up of Salt River Project canals and laterals north of the Salt River has begun and will continue through Feb.

The dry-up is part of $1.9 million SRP program scheduled this year for lining canals and laterals, installing pipelines and replacing major canal gate structures. The City of Phoenix will build two new bridges during the dry period. One will cross the Arizona Canal at 44th Street, and the other will cross the Grand Canal at 59th Avenue. CHINLE Sonic booms threaten to crumble Indian ruins that are as much as 15 centuries old.

The threat to the old dwellings in Canyon de Chelly National Monument has led to high-level correspondence between the Interior Department and the Defense Department. The problem may boil down to where the nation prefers its booms: Over remote areas such as this, or over big cities. CANYON DE Chelly and tributary Canyon del Muerto writhe through a plateau, their sheer sandstone walls streaked with brilliant color and pocked with alcoves and caves where prehistoric Indians built their dwelling. Some ruined villages were constructed by the Basketmak-er people in 348 A.D.

In Washington, NTS information officer Robert Stand-ish said Interior had contacted the Air Force "at secretary level," asking how the booms could be avoided. STANDISH SAID the Air Force replied that it was concerned and would look into the matter.

The Air Force pointed out, however, that planes are routed so that the booms do not shake major population centers. "We're not even certain that they're Air Force planes," Standish said.

Rangers began logging the sonic booms, and inspecting the canyons for damage. By December, Cook said, booms were being logged at the rate of one a day. "SOME OF our American heritage is at stake," he said. "You can call off the jets but you can't call the prehistoric Indians back to reconstruct the ruins, and you can't replace destroyed scenery."

However, his trial on federal extortion charges never got started, as the government acknowledged that it had obtained some of the evidence against the hefty, white-haired former muscle boy "by electronic surveillance."

Battaglia was a dramatic tig-urc in the courtroom as he lay on his back, his head slightly raised and a transparent oxygen mask over his face. Battaglia did not wear the mask in court except for brief periods when he indicated he needed it.

Dressed in a paisley bathrobe and covered with a green blanket, Battaglia nodded weakly when the judge asked him if he would waive his right to a trial by jury and consent to a court trial presided over by the judge sitting without a jury.
