The legislation also would make it easier to fire teachers. Two highly controversial aspects of the measure call for. A formula for allocating local and state tax funds to the subdistricts that would ''take into account relative needs in cost levels" of schools in the subdistricts, rather than appropriating the funds on an equal per capita basis. The new legislation would result in more funds going to schools with more problems.

Assemblyman Bill Creene iTVLos Angeles), co-author of the legislation with Sen. John Harmer (R-Glcndale), confirmed this is the intent of the measure and nrMerl ihnt A group of Hell's Angels on annual visit to Boss take in Madera County. Boycott Threat Against Melons Says.

The union has been battling for union recognition by Imperial Valley growers, but so" far only one-Ben Abatti, the valley's "biggest grower has signed up. Chavez said that if the growers throughout the state do not sign union contracts, the union will strike them all and urge consumers around the world to stop buying the cantaloupes and other melons produced by the. struck gwswevi.

O'Brien President Fails to Aid Ailing Economy, Democrat Charges Blr RICHARD BERGUOLZ Times Pcllnai Writer President Nixon has refused to use the remedies at his disposal to ease the nation's economic pains.

Democratic National Chairman Lawrence J. O'Brien said Wednesday, and the voters are becoming quite aware of it. Specifically, Nixon has had extensive powers in credit control, granted to him by Congress, since last December, the Democratic leader told an International Hotel news conference, "and he has refused to use them." The President has said he does not want the authority to use standby wage and price contols, if the economic situation worsens, "but thev could be very useful to O'Brien said. Similarly, Mr. Xixon has said he will not engage in "jawboning" direct appeals to business or labor leaders to curb the inflationary trends, but he should, the party chairman added.

"It's evident now that this Administration's record of ineptness and utter failure to carry out the rcspon-siMiti'es of government is clearly on the minds of the voters and will be very much of a factor in the fall elections, O'Brien said.

Allows Firing 0 teachers Provisions for firing teachers and other certificated employes of the school system if they are not accepted by any of the subdistricts after two years of being assigned to a central district personnel pool At present, teachers in a district cannot be fired unless their incompetency or lack of moral character can-be proved in court. This is the backbone of the teacher tenure law. Teachers currently must be grant-w5 Wfe to any school in the district, with -a vacancy upon then- thlvd Chder the new legislation, it vrcroM be up tt the sulxUstvicts to accept them for service in their local schools. Teachers now can be transferred within the district at will by the superintendent. But the practice is rarely used because of grievance procedures that tend to make it necessary to show cause whv the transfer is nccessarv.

Provides Transfer Authority The legislation gives subdistricts full authority to transfer teachers lack to a "central certificated employe poo! of the school district" for reassignment. If within two yearn, no other suh-district will take a teacher, the individual 'shall lose his standing as a permanent employe of the school district.

The measure provides that administrators now in the district would be retained in their present positions for two years after the reorganization and then would be subject to reassignment by new subdistrict board. Under the legislation, each of the iiudistrjcts would be governed by its own locally elected board of nine members.
