A resident of 2904 Oakwood Lane, Shurbert outlined his idea: "I think that with a county executive it is too cumbersome to have 46 supervisors on the Board. I feel as though all the years I have been on the Board if you're going to set up a county executive running with nine committees as you do now, it doesn't add up. "Department heads should be responsible for the functioning of the comity.

The Board as a whole would act as a committee. Supervisors would be on top of activities of every department of the county. I think you should have two County Board meetings a month, one in the daytime and one at night. "At the day meeting the Board would meet with all department heads and hear reports of their activities of the month. Now you have committee chairmen making these reports of operations to the Board.

The night meeting would be for the general public and to take care of busi- ness of the Board, "I'm not saying this is a cure-all, but it's more workable and you should start think Shurbert had announced his plan for a 15-member County Board during the supervisors' election campaign last spring. The coordinating committee this week named a subcommittee which will study ways to provide a transition of county government to the county executive system and will make its recommendation to the County Board in late summer or fall. ing about it with the executive taking over. "I'm not saying anything I haven't said before. If you're going to have an executive the way it is now, he would interfere with duties of committees as they are operating now.

If you're to have an executive, you don't run the county with committees or a Board this size. The only committees you'd have are those set up by a statute, two or three at the most."

He flew to Paris Tuesday for the private sessions in an attempt to get the Paris peace talks moving again. This was the first time that Kissinger's private meetings with the Communist negotiators have been announced while the sessions were under way.

He last met in Paris with Le Due Tho on May 2. The United States and South Vietnam resumed talks with their Communist counterparts last Thursday. Tho arrived in the French capital last weekend and said he was ready to consider any new U. S. offer.

Ten days ago Kissinger told reporters in San Clemente, that there were indications that Hanoi was ready to resume negotiations with a new and responsive attitude. At the time, Kissinger said he was hopeful but not optimistic. Speculation arose that Kissinger was on another mission for Nixon when the President arrived back from the Western White House in California Tuesday without Kissinger. The two men frequently travel together. Earlier disppearances by Kissinger preceded Nixon's trips to China and the Soviet Union.

He also has made several trips to Paris for secret talks with the Communists over possible ways to settle the Vietnam War. At a briefing last week in San a tit V.

Customs agents searched them to make sure they were not carrying excess gold out of Egypt.

Sadat expelled the Soviet military personnel believed to total some 20,000 because Moscow never came up with the war material it had pledged. Specifically, the sources said, the Soviets' reluctance to give Egypt offensive weapons prompted the decision, which was made after Prime Minister Aziz Sidky went to Moscow last week in an attempt to get Kremlin leaders to change their minds. The pullout by air and sea followed a reception Monday night for leading Soviet advisers with Egyptian War Minister Lt. Gen. Mohammed Ahmed Sadek thanking them for their services.

Gordon Jaeger announced at a news conference at City Hall this morning that the city's director of community development, Robert Halloin, has resigned effective Aug. 18 to accept a post as chairman of the department of urban affairs at UW-Oshkosh.

Mrs. Friedan said although Miss Steinem and Mrs. Abzug did not represent the only examples of "female chauvinism," she had singled them but because they were prominent and, in doing so, she might provoke serious ideological debate with them. Both women issued brief statements responding to Mrs. Friedan's criticism.

'Having been falsely accused by male establishment journal-ists of liking men too much," Miss Steinem said, "it's a relief to be falsely accused by an establishment woman of liking them too much."

"We don't understand how it happened." Gentele took over directorship of the Met from Sir Rudolf Bing a few weeks ago. He was to have started his first season as manager Sept. 19 with a production of "Carmen."
