Moscone, 49, and Milk, 44, were shot to death Monday at San Francisco City Hall. Dan White, 8, until early this month member of the Board of Supervisors, surrendered to authorities at a nearby police station half an hour later. He was booked on two counts of murder.

The city of San Francisco was In a state him to the Board of Supervisors. Milk wu opposed to the reappointment. White, 32, a handsome, youthful-looking former police officer and fireman, resigned from the board Nov. 10 after serving for a year. He said the pressure of trying to support his family on a supervisor's annual salary wu too much.

But five days later, after receiving financial support from friends and relatives, he said he wanted the Job back. But there wu pressure on Moscone from many of White's constituents In the mixed-racial, working-class district he represents to appoint a new supervisor.

Mrs. Feinsteia baby," laid Supervisors President Dianne Feinstein, who became acting mayor. "It had triggered a sense of bopelessnesi" in him. Dolson noted that as a policeman and fireman, White "never broke." But he added: "Don't for a minute think that inside you or me or any other person, no matter how normal we are, that wc art all not capable of this." Extra police were assigned to the other nine members of the Board of Supervisors, San Francisco's legislative body, and Chief Administrative Officer Roger Boas ordered security meuures tightened in the ornate domed City Hall, already protected by guards and metal detectors at its main entrances.

"There wu recently a suggestion to remove that," Boas said. "Now it will have to be strengthened." The shootings took place separately at City Hall late Monday morning.

The justice said the court has "uniformly recognized that a government unit may legitimately restrict the right to participate in its political processes to those who reside within its borders." Justice William Brennan, in a dissent joined by Justices Byron White and Thurgood Marshall, said he would bold the challenged statutes unconstitutional because they withhold the franchise from some persons governed by the city and give it to others. San Francisco is equivalent to a city council she automatically becomes acting mayor until the supervisors elect a successor.

Feinstein graduated from Stanford in political science and has said her goal was always "to be a San Francisco Supervisor." She told interviewers that as a child she used to "sneak away, and sit in on hearings, acquainting myself with the people and issues." She served in various appointive public offices, including a term on the state women's parole board before running for supervisor in 1969. She topped 17 candidates in that election. After a few years as a leading member of the board, Mrs. Feistein announced her candidacy for mayor. She was one in a field of unsuccessful challengers against former Mayor Joseph Alioto in 1971, and later ran against Moscone.

Mrs. Feinstein is a quiet, soft-spoken person. She has surrounded herself with a staff of young professionals and reformers. A member of her staff described her as "very much of a woman." if WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court today upheld an Alabama law authorizing cities to extend police, sanitary and some licensing powers to people living within three miles of the city line.

Andrew's predecessor was David Nichols, who resigned in 1978 to take a similar post in San Mateo County. Whorton was one of five finalists picked by a professional personnel consulting firm which screened initial applicants for the county administrator's position. The board then interviewed all five finalists (none of whom were from Sonoma County) and selected Whorton.

Justice William Rehnquist, writing for a six-man majority on the high court, said Alabama's so-called "police jurisdiction" laws are a rational legislative response to the problems faced by the state's burgeoning cities. He noted 35 states authorize municipalities to exercise governmental powers beyond their corporate limits.
