School districts to share accounting services Thousands of Chernobyl deaths' LOS ANGELES (AP) Scientists are giving varying estimates on how many cancer deaths may eventually accumulate as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, with some researchers forecasting up to 40,000 deaths, according to a published report today.

Others, however, make a more conservative prediction of about 5,000 deaths resulting from radiation contamination caused by the nuclear reactor accident in the Ukraine last month, the Los Angeles Times reported. According to figures compiled by John Gofman, professor emeritus of medical physics at the University of California at Berkeley, at least 32,900 people in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe may develop cancer, with half of them dying. He also said as many as 23,000 Soviet citizens could die of cancer. Dairy cattle slaughter on schedule WASHINGTON (UPI) Dairy farmers shipped an estimated 293,100 cattle to slaughter in the first month of a federal program to trim dairy surpluses more than one-fifth of the total earmarked for the program's first five months. Beef producers had complained in a successful lawsuit that the Agriculture Department designated so many cows to be sent to slaughter in first five months of the 18-month program that the impact on cattle prices was disastrous.

The first month's slaughter surpassed one-fifth of more than 1 million head farmers are to slaughter or export in the initial five months. Over the entire 18-month program, 1.55 million dairy cattle will be slaughtered or exported. Bingham defense presents case SAN RAFAEL (AP) Defense attorneys for former fugitive Stephen Bingham planned today to question authorities who handled the investigation into San Quentin prison violence blamed on a gun allegedly slipped into the prison by Bingham. Defense counsel Gerald Schwartzbach indicated he would open his case in Marin County Superior Court by calling to the stand investigators and prison guards earlier called by Assistant District Attorney Terry Boren. Schwartzbach said he wants to explore areas outside the scope of the prosecution testimony.

Bingham, 44, is charged with two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy for allegedly giving the handgun and ammunition to militant San Quentin inmate George Jackson during a 1971 attorney-client visit. Human chain loses more links LOS ANGELES (UPI) Health hazards posed by the desert heat have prompted Hands Across America officials to announce that a "symbolic" ribbon instead of a human line will stretch across a 100-mile route from Blythe to Indio. The decision to shorten the California route from 345 miles to 245 miles was made because of concern that thousands of urban residents pouring into the sparsely populated area where temperatures are expected to reach 100 could overwhelm area medical facilities, officials said Wednesday. "With this change in our line, our original estimate of more than 400,000 people has been revised downward to about 317,000," said Roger Carrick, California director for Sunday's cross-country fund-raiser for the homeless and hungry. Arizona officials last week announced that a 94-mile stretch west of Phoenix would also be covered with a symbolic ribbon for the same reasons.

35 killed, 160 hurl in Beirut battles BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Moslem and Christian gunners rained shells and rockets on Beirut's residential neighborhoods today in the worst random bombardment in four months. Police said 35 people were killed and 160 wounded. The battles erupted at dusk Wednesday and raged all night. A cease-fire was called at daybreak today, but collapsed six hours later, and the duels with heavy artillery, multibarreled rocket launchers and tank cannons resumed at midday. The hostilities shattered a two-week-old truce between Lebanese militias that was called for Ramadan, Islam's holy month of fasting.

TWA attendants reject pay plan NEW YORK (UPI) Trans World Airlines flight attendants voted overwhelmingly against the airline's latest contract proposal, saying it was designed to make them lose the jobs they left 10 weeks ago when they went on strike. Vicki Frankovich, president of the Independent Federation of Flight Attendants, said 97.5 percent of the flight attendants who voted Wendnesday in seven cities nationwide rejected the new proposal. Frankovich said the contract proposal was "essentially the same" as the one that prompted their walkout March 7, but contained other clauses that would have "insured that people not go back to work." By ANNE DOLCINI Staff Two small local school districts have decided to share accounting services to save money. Bookkeeper Carol Scheel, who works at Wilson School, has been assigned to do the accounting for Liberty School also, according to an agreement between the boards of trustees for both districts. Wilmar School District trustees approved the arrangement Tuesday.

Scheel will work four days a week on Wilson School business and spend the other day on Liberty accounts, said Wilson principal Anne Goodwin. The arrangement will allow Liberty to put its books on computer records, and to save money on staff. Liberty will pay the Wilmar District $5,000 for the all-year service. The money will be used to pay for Scheel's time and to pay for someone else to do some of the secretarial work Scheel does now, Goodwin said. Liberty, which is wrestling with the problems that accompany shrinking enrollment, has had to lay off one teacher for the 1986-87 school year, and any staff help is welcome, Goodwin said.

In other action recently, Wilmar trustees WATER TANK Learned that that new water tank should be installed and ready to use for watering the soccer field in about one week. The $6,500 tank is being paid for with funds from the first California Lottery check Wilson School received. EVALUATIONS Approved three new forms to be used to evaluate classified employees. The forms allow for periods of probation, which are not currently used at Wilson School. Classified workers include custodians, classroom aides and food servers.

LOTTERY Designated lottery spending for the coming year. A big chunk of the first lottery payment was spent on a new water tank. The No. 2 lottery spending priority for the coming school year was listed as classroom aide salaries. For the first time in many years, aides won't be laid off at the end of the school year and rehired in September.

"All the aides know they have a job" next year, Goodwin said.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, down 8.81 on Wednesday, climbed 21.08 to 1,796.25 by noontime today on Wall Street. Gainers outnumbered losers by more than 3 to 1 in the midday tally of New York Stock Exchange-listed issues. Interest rates fell in the credit markets this morning, pushing prices of long-term government bonds up about $5 for every $1,000 in face value. Some retailing stocks rose, extending their strong gains of Wednesday.

Sears Roebuck, a component of the Dow Jones industrial average, gained 1 to 47 and mart 1 to 5278, both in active trading.
