8A ARGUS-COURIER, Petaluma, Colli. Wednesday, March 13, 1985 Extended daylight time bill in Senate Blood pressure control class begins next week state SANTA ROSA Common- hour Sunday, March 3, instead of 3313 Chanate Road, Santa Rosa. A third class will be scheduled in May. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a serious disease, it is responsible directly or indirectly for about one million deaths a year. It affects over 35 million people one in every four or five American adults.

The important thing is to keep blood pressure within normal limits, usually 14090 or lower, officials said. Dr. Rod Weaver, a family practice physician and specialist In health promotion, will conduct the classes. Call CommonilealthCare, 528-1363, if interested in attending. CommonHcalthCarc officials add that high blood pressure can be controlled.

Many times lifestyle changes may be enough to lower blood pressure, such as losing weight, reducing salt Intake, quitting smoking, beginning regular exercise or reducing stress. Sometimes only medication will help. WASHINGTON, D.C. If Senator Alan Cranston, had his way, daylight saving time would have started the first week Jn March. Had Congress passed a bill that Cranston Introduced earlier this year, Americans would have turned their clocks forward one tion," Cranston said.

"For example, the Department of Transportation estimates that by adding an hour of daylight to the business day we could cut down on the use of electricity and save 100,000 barrels of oil a day," Cranston said. "That comes to 5.6 million barrels for the two extra months of DST and a saving of $130 million at current prices," he said. Cranston noted that extending daylight saving hours "would also extend the hours for outside recreation." Under Cranston's bill, daylight saving would begin the first Sunday in March. It would end the last Sunday in October. Healthcare is offering again a scries on blood pressure control.

The class is for those concerned about their blood pressure or who just want to learn more about it. Free and open to the public, the first two classes will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 21 and 28 in the Public Health Rotunda, navmg to wait till April 28. Adding those two months to daylight saving and thus adding an additional hour of daylight to the time when people are up and about could "significantly reduce the Incidence of violent crime and traffic fatalities, and cut energy consump ARGUS-COURIER, Pttolumo, Calif.

Wdnetdoy, March 13, 1985 9A MX missile wins endorsement vote WASHINGTON (UPI) The MX missile has won the endorsement of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee In the first Capitol Hill vote on the controversial weapon of the year. The panel Tuesday voted 7-4 to send a resolution to free $1.5 billion for 21 of the missiles in the current fiscal year to the full Appropriations Committee in what was a largely symbolic action. Under a procedure adopted last fall when congressional leaders agreed to delay settling the question of the missile in this fiscal year, resolutions on the MX go through committee but automatically arrive on the House and Senate floor, regardless of whatever stance a committee may take on the matter.

"I certainly will do everything in my power to convince the 49ers to stay In San Francisco," Brown said at his first news conference of the legislative session that began In December. He said local governments should be able to borrow money from the state to buy sports teams or build facilities to keep players and owners happy. He said local governments might also be able to use the money to keep amusement parks from closing or moving.

The 49ers of the National Football League and the San Francisco Giants baseball team are unhappy with windy and relatively small Candlestick Park. Duke wants new GM plant in state SACRAMENTO (UPI) Gov. George Deukmejian said Tuesday he is lobbying General Motors Corp. to build Its new Saturn auto manufacturing plant in California. It was the first disclosure that California has entered the fierce competition among more than 20 states for the plant to produce a new line of subcompact cars.

A spokesman for General Motors in Detroit said Deukmejian's staff and GM are talking about a possible visit by the governor to GM's main office to make his case for California. GM is expected this spring to pick a site for the factory. It will employ 6,000 workers and, GM says, may eventually employ up to 20,000. Jury to decide ComputerLand case OAKLAND (UPI) A Superior Court jury which awarded a 20 percent stake in Computerland Corp. to an investment group headed by a rival retailer now must decide the amount of damages in the case, a sum that could run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Alameda Countay court jury heard further arguments from attorneys Tuesday concerning damages to be awarded in the case, but the panel must return Wednesday to deliberate on what the total amount due MicroVest should be. The panel of jurors decided Monday after a nine-week trial that MicroVest was entitled to 20 percent of the voting shares in Computerland stock and also stock in Computerland's holding company and a dozen other companies controlled by Computerland founder William Millard. Silicon Valley industry shows gain SAN JOSE (UPI) The sluggish Silicon Valley semiconductor industry showed a slight improvement in February, and computer chip sales may increase by late spring, an industry expert said Tuesday. The Semiconductor Industry Association in San Jose reported a slight increase in the industry's book-to-bill ratio, which is a comparison of chip orders and shipments of the electronic devices. SIA spokesman Mike Kubiak said, "New orders are coming in, but they are coming in at a much slower rate than they did previously." The current pace of semiconductor orders is "pretty poor," Kubiak said.

Illegal mail solicitations halted SACRAMENTO (UPI) State Attorney General John Van de Kamp has advised a marketing firm to stop illegal mail solicitations offering vacations to London in return for attending sales presentations at Lake Tahoe Van de Kamp's office said Tuesday the London offer has lured thousands of Californians to Lake Tahoe to listen to sales presentations by Enterprises, a subsidiary of Leisure Marketing of Arkansas." Investigators said the promised seven-day paid London vacation was for one person, not two, and that a second person was required to pay twice the amount paid by the company per tour. A $200 deposit also was required, and the vacation offer was valid only during a few days in November and December. The only activity included in the package was a half-day sightseeing tour, they said. Feinstein to visit Thatcher in London SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Mayor Dianne Feinstein is off to London Friday for a meeting with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Foreign Ministry officials, a mayor's spokesman said.

Justice Department has concluded federal civil rights laws do not protect women from harassment when they are seeking abortions.

Webster told a House Judiciary subcommittee Tuesday that harassment of women by anti-abortion protesters has a "chilling" effect on their rights but civil rights laws in most cases will not provide those women protection. Webster said Justice Department lawyers maintain that civil rights laws would be triggered only if the state conducted the harassment. He suggested the panel consider legislation to further protect a woman's right to abortion. Pan Am to restore more flights NEW YORK (UPI) Strikebound Pan American World Airways said today it will soon be restoring flights on more than 22 percent of its system and that talks in the 13-day-old strike are set to resume today. Pan Am has been operating a "core" airline flying on only 30 percent of system but that with the restoration of flights the airline will be operating over 52 percent of its system.

Pan Am spokesman James Airey said the restoration of flights will be phased in over the next few weeks. U.S. funds Bikini Atoll cleanup WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States today agreed to pay $42 million to clean up radiation on Bikini Atoll, settling a lawsuit with the island people who were moved in 1946 to make way for 23 U.S. nuclear tests, their attorney said. "We're absolutely delighted," said Jonathan Weisgall, who represents the 1,200 Bikinians, most of whom have been resettled since 1948 on Kili, a smaller, isolated island.

But Weisgall said two events have to take place before the money Is provided. Congress has to approve a plan providing for semi-autonomy for the Marshall Islands and it has to appropriate the funds. Jimmy Carter receives peace award ATLANTA (UPI) Former President Jimmy Carter today became the first American to receive the World Methodist Peace Award and warned the United States against arrogance and the unwarranted use of military strength. Bishop William R. Cannon of the World Methodist Council said Carter was chosen to receive the award because of his efforts in negotiating the Panama Canal treaty, the Salt II pact with the Soviet Union, the Camp David accords, and because of his support for human rights.

"Jimmy Carter," said Cannon, "you are a good and great man." Striking teachers return to class JACKSON, Miss. (UPI) Nearly 300 striking teachers returned to the classroom in one Mississippi school district today and lawmakers reported progress on a compromise pay raise bill that could end a 17-day statewide walkout. Members of a legislative conference committee said after an all-day meeting Tuesday they hoped to offer a pay hike package to the House and Senate today. No details of the plan were disclosed. Some 9,300 Mississippi teachers the nation's lowest paid -defied a court order and walked off their jobs, seeking raises of $7,000 over two years.

Gov. Bill Allain, who has said he will not support a tax increase, has refused to budge from his position that teachers should get no more than a $1,500 hike. Court justices want chauffeurs WASHINGTON (UPI) Members of the Supreme Court, troubled by recent threats against two justices, today asked a House subcommittee for authority to be driven to work in government cars. During a presentation of the court's $17.2 million budget request for fiscal 1986, Justice Byron White urged Congress to grant to all justices the vehicle privileges that only Chief Justice Warren BUrger has now. "This would not require any addition to the budget for the next fiscal year," White said.
