IF AIRCRAFT are freely allowed in1 the Borderland area without-radio contact -an -FAA -spokesman said, then it all depends on how you read the regulations to determine who is at fault. "A federal air regulation pertaining to parachuting states in part: "No person may make, a parachute jump and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow a parachute jump to be made from that aircraft if that jump creates a hazard to air traffic or to persons or' property on the surface." On the other hand, another regulation pertaining to aircraft states: "When weather conditions permit, regardless if an operation is conducted under instrument federal regulations or visual federal regulations, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft in compliance with the regulations." The FAA's investigation into the death could result in refinement of aircraft and parachuting regulation, officials said. The marine officer's body was found about 75 yards north of Otay Lakes Rd. and two miles west of Wueste Rd.

finding team will be sent in to search the district's records and make an independent report. DISTRICT officials long have maintained they must increase class size for the coming school year to pay for teachers' raises. Union officials claim the district has plenty of money and could easily grant an increase of more than 12 without raising class size. Teachers are asking for a raise of about 18. The district is offering 6 and claims class size must be increased for any higher offer to be made.

Non-teaching employees settled tor a 10 increase in June. Through attrition, several positions were not funded, and district officials claim those cuts paid for the salary increases. The current contract contains a no-strike clause and, so far, no one is willing to predict a strike. Classes in the district's 17 traditional calendar schools resume Sept. 8.

The 11 year-round schools have been in session since July. The mediator's fee is paid by the state.
