(AP) If California voters approve a $7 billion property tax cut next Tuesday, officials in the state's 58 counties and 417 cities say they face some nightmarish choices. Do they cut police departments or courts? Fire departments or garbage collection? Parks, schools or libraries? Do they lay off the recently hired young minority woman or the white male with years of seniority? Local government officials say about 300,000 jobs will be lost. A UCLA analysis distributed by opponents of the tax cut, on the ballot as Proposition 13, says the result will be-an overall economic slump that will increase total unemployment by 451,000. Opinion polls indicate that voters are likely to approve Proposition 13, the initiative by tax critic Howard Jarvis. The measure would limit taxes on property to 1 percent of its market value, with an additional Vx percent permitted temporarily to pay off local bonds outstanding at the time of the election.

The new rate would go into effect July 1 and have an immediate effect of cutting property taxes throughout the state by an average of 57 percent. For the homeowners who make up California's heralded "property tax revolt," the Jarvis initiative means relief from assessments that have doubled and tripled in the last few years as inflation, real estate speculation and a tight housing market pushed property values skyward. Local governments now collect about $12 billion a year in property taxes. If Proposition 13 passes they will collect about $5 billion. Gov.

Edmund Brown Jr. and legislative leaders say they can afford to take $2 billion to $2.5 billion out of the state surplus to make up losses. Jarvis cites predictions by conservative economists like Nobel laureate Milton Friedman that the property tax cut will trigger a building boom and create 300,000 to 500,000 new jobs. Jarvis, 75, a former newspaper publisher and munitions maker and now head of a landlords' association, says the re -w enough to pay for property-related services, like police and fire protection, garbage and sewers. He also says any laid-off public employee who is competent could find a private job in 20 minutes.

That prediction may soon be tested. Already, 28,000 teachers across the state have been notified they are likely to be laid-off if Proposition 13 passes. Los Angeles first estimated 2,249 police jobs might be lost, though later estimates have been lower. In Alameda County east of San Francisco, officials are tentatively planning to close a hospital and cut back many services. With a layoff of 4,712 employees county officials say they still would be $19.5 million in the red.

Two black legislators have introduced bills aimed at modifying the seniority system to preserve minority jobs from Jarvis-induced layoffs, but their chances look dim in the face of AFL-CIO Media raps search decision 30 ITHACA JOURNAL Thursday, June 1, 1978 nons and uiotvs Ehrlichman reportedly getting divorce BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) John and Jeanne Ehrlichman are getting a divorce, according to an interview with Mrs. Ehrlichman published today in the Daily Journal-American. Neither she nor Ehrlichman, 53, who now lives in Santa Fe, N.M., could be reached immediately for comment on the report. Ehrlichman recently was released from prison after serving 18 months for his role in the Watergate affair.

It was not immediately clear whether a divorce petition had been filed, who was filing it or what court would have jurisdiction. "The divorce is John's idea," Mrs. Ehrlichman said in the newspaper interview. "At this point he wants to live alone." Brezhnev seen aiding Czech leader BONN, West Germany (AP) Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev's visit to Czechoslovakia appears designed to shore up President Gustav Husak, plagued by a persistent dissident movement and challenges within his Communist Party.

Western diplomats in Prague believe Brezhnev's support is a major reason the 65-year-old Husak has stayed in power since the Kremlin picked him nearly a decade ago to roll back Alexander Dubcek's liberal reforms. The Soviets, who keep an estimated 90,000 troops on Czechoslovak soil, want to emphasize their support for Husak as the lOt anniversary of their August 21, 1968 invasion draws near. Charges answered by Cuba UNITED NATIONS (AP) "Africa belongs to the Africans and if that is to transpire, international assistance is needed," Cuban delegate Jose Raul Viera Linares told the General Assembly's special session on disarmament. He was answering Somali charges Wednesday that Ethiopia's use of Cuban forces to expell Somali rebels from Ethiopia's Ogaden Desert was a serious threat to the security of the Horn of Africa and an obstacle to peaceful solution of the region's problems. Somali Ambassador Abdirazak Haji Hussen called the Cuban soldiers "a new and dangerous phenomenon state-organized mercenaries," and said 50,000 of them were in Africa as "a spearhead for the designs" of the Soviet Union.

Judge's comment brings call for probe HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Conspiracy charges against a man who allegedly failed in a rape attempt were dropped by a Common Pleas Court judge, who told the prosecutor "You can't blame somebody for trying." Judge Walter Pickett's comment was contained in a transcript, obtained by state Rep. Paul LaRosa D-Hartford who has called for an investigation of Pickett's handling of the case. Raymond LaBelle, 29, of Hartford was one of four men arrested in April on the complaint of a Springfield, woman who said she was beaten, robbed and raped by four men who offered her a ride on Interstate 91. Three of the suspects were charged with first-degree sexual assault and were bound over to Superior Court for trial.

But LaBelle was unable to rape the victim, according to testimony, and was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree sexual assault. Pickett ruled May 17 that the prosecution hadn't shown enough evidence to bind LaBelle's case over to Superior Court for trial. Pickett's comment was in an exchange with prosecutor Bei Cramer, according to the transcript. "The court: Do you really claim you have proven probable cause as far as Mr. LaBelle is concerned? "Mrs.

Cramer: Your, Honor, I think he was obviously a participant. "The court: He was there. He wasn't the driver. He was a passenger. What did he do to engage in a conspiracy? The only thing he did was he tried and failed.

"Mrs. Cramer: That is enough of an overt act. "The court: You can't blame somebody for trying." Pickett defended his comment by saying he didn't believe the prosecution had proven its case. LaRosa said Pickett should be asked to resign if the comment typifies his action on the bench. Stolen Collier Trophy found in park WASHINGTON (AP) The pestigious Collier Trophy, America's oldest aviation award, is safe after thieves dumped it in a suburban Maryland park.

A maintenance man, Joseph Newman, found the prized trophy on the ground while working in Fort Foote, a small park near Oxon Hill, just across the District of Columbia line. That was 26 hours after the 150-pound trophy was reported missing from a Washington hotel. Newman didn't know what he had found, but he turned it over to a supervisor, who called U.S. park police. They notified the Smithsonian Institution and told officials the trophy was not damaged.

The ornamental bronze sculpture is owned by the National Aeronautic Association and kept on permanent display in the Smithsonian's of Awards. It had been taken from the Smithsonian to the Mayflower Hotel Saturday night for an association awards dinner, officials of the aeronautic group said. After the dinner the trophy was locked in a room of the National Aviation Club in the hotel basement, to be kept over the Memorial Day weekend. When Smithsonian officials went to retrieve it, the trophy was missing. Jeff Carter sells wedding pictures WASHINGTON (AP) Jeff Carter, just out of college and without a job, says he is not sure he will give to charity the money he will receive for exclusive pictures from the wedding of Billy Carter's daughter.

Describing himself as an amateur photographer, the 25-year-old son of President Carter says he may invest in a camera lens instead. Young Carter, who graduated from George Washington University this month, sold two pictures from the May 21 wedding of Jana Carter which the working press was not allowed to cover to Time magazine. William L. Tucker of Uniphoto, which marketed the pictures, indicated that Carter would get "between" $500 and $10,000. Several months ago, after a flap over the $10,000 Carter and his wife Annette received from Life Magazine for 10 pictures of the Carter family and the White House, Carter said he would give the money to charity rather than profit from photographs taken while his father was president.

In a telephone interview, the president's son also said he expects to hear today whether he will be offered a job with the polling firm of Patrick Caddell, a member of President Carter's staff. Dog-licensing law overthrown LOS ANGELES (AP) You don't need a license to own a goldfish or a parakeet, so why a dog? That's the logic used by Muncipal Court Judge Mario P. Gonzalez in ruling that Los Angeles county's dog licensing law is unconstitutional. "If my decision is affirmed, every dog owner in the State of California will not have to get a license," Gonzalez said in deciding not to issue an arrest warrant against a woman with an unlicensed Afghan. The decision is sure to be appealed.

A second Municipal Court judge ruled the ordinance was constitutional in a decision last March. Gonzalez said the licensing ordinance discriminates against dog owners. "A cat owner has the option of whether or not to license his cat," said Gonzalez. "Horses, cows, sheep, monkeys, pigs, birds also do not have to be licensed." Gonzalez also objected to the ordinance because it charges a dog owner $15 a year for a license while a cat owner can license his pet for $2.50 for a lifetime or nothing at all, if he chooses not to license the animal.

Bergen, Town Clerk, Town ot Ithaca Dated: May 30, 1978 Publish: June 1, 1978 free press arguments. Not many years ago, journalists suffered several major defeats in the Supreme Court when arguing in vain that reporters and their work should not be subject to the subpoenas of prosecutors seeking help in criminal investigations.

Arguments then, as in the case decided Wednesday, centered on fears that such intrusions into the news business would inhibit confidential sources from volunteering information. Wednesday's ruling conceivably could prove to be a worse defeat. Subpoenas may be contested in court search warrants in virtually all instances cannot be. The decision, said Mike Maloney, managing editor of The Register in Santa Ana, "leaves us, the newspapers, with no pre-search way of resisting the warrant. It really opens up the door to newspaper offices." Keith Fuller, president and general manager of The Associated Press, called the decision disappointing, saying "My main concern is that this could open the door to harassment in situations where local authorities are irritated over news coverage." Benjamin C.

Bradlee, executive editor of the Washington Post, said that under the ruling "the Pentagon Papers could never have been published." "The police would have entered newspaper offices and seized them before newspapers could bring the facts to the people," Bradlee said. "If this decision were in force during Watergate, it requires no stretch of the imagination to see police in these offices on a regular basis on a fishing expedition," he said. "The decision is so broadly written that in effect it makes a newspaper the potential arm of the prosecution," said Anthony Day, editorial page editor of the Los Angeles Times and chairman of the American Society of Newspaper Editors' freedom of information committee. "I don't think that Byron White and his colleagues in the majority understand what kind of animal they have let loose here," Day said. International Association of Police Chiefs spokesman Bill Ellingsworth said the news media were overreacting.

"Police are not going to stage wholesale raids on newsrooms around the country," he said. "I don't think it's as sinister as it may appear to people." WASHINGTON (AP) "In many cities and towns, it could become open season on journalists," predicts an Oklahoma broadcaster. That assessment was made after a Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday that newspaper offices and the offices of other news organizations as well enjoy no special protection against police searches. Ernie Schultz of telvision station KTVY in Oklahoma City and president of the Radio-Television News Directors Association said the court edict sparking his prediction was both disappointing and ominous. That view was shared by many news executives across the nation.

The high court's decision was reached in a case involving a 1971 police search of the offices of Stanford University's student newspaper, the Stanford Daily. Officers, armed with a search warrant and seeking photographs and negatives that would help them identify demonstrators who had injured nine police officers in a campus riot, searched the Daily's photo laboratories, filing cabinets, desks and waste paper baskets. The newspaper sued, won in two lower federal courts but now have seen those victories reversed. Speaking through an opinion written by Justice Byron R. White, the court rejected arguments that persons and businesses not actually suspected of a crime should be asked to submit materials desired by police before being subjected to searches.

Voting 5-3, the court also held that newspaper offices essentially are entitled to no greater protection against such searches than other business establishments. The ruling explicitly rejected MERCHANDISE FOR SALE!

The board also decided not to outlaw overbooking of flights, but it warned it would consider doing so if airlines don't sharply curail the practice. Overbooking results in bumping the denial of a seat to a passenger with a confirmed reservation. The board said the practice has been increasing, and it noted that the number of persons bumped reached an all-time high of 133,000 in 1976.

The airlines contend they often must sell tickets to more customers than they have seats to compensate for air travelers who make reservations they don't keep. The new rule, which takes effect Sept. 3, requires that if a flight is oversold, the airline first must ask passengers to volunteer to be bumped and offer them monetary compensation agreeable to both parties. If enough volunteers are not found, the CAB said, the airline must bump passengers according to a priority seating plan approved by the board. The airlines now file such plans with the board, but under the new rule they would have to be part of the carriers' official tariff.

Passengers who are involuntarily bumped will receive compensation ranging from $37.50 to $200, payable immediately, even if the passenger is booked on another flight five minutes later. 5 i 6 7 8 9 "T- MAIL OR BRING YOUR ADVERTISEMENT WITH CASH, CHECK OR MONEY.

has outbid a group reportedly backed by Middle Eastern money for three New York hotels being sold for the bankrupt Penn Central Transportation Co. U.S. District Judge John B. Fullam, overseer of the Penn Central bankruptcy case, approved the Loews high bid of $55 million Wednesday during a three-hour hearing that took on the flavor of an auction. The hotels are the Biltmore, Barclay and Roosevelt.

Biltmore Associates bid $50 million May 4 after Loews' bid of $45 million was provisionally accepted by trustees of Penn Central. Loews subsequently objected to the trustees' consideration of the Biltmore offer, claiming a conflict of interest because an executive of a company that operated the three hotels would realize a profit if Biltmore won the bid. Fullam ruled it was in the best interest of the trustees to consider the Biltmore offer, but said Loews would be given the opportunity to match each bid made. 0. i i f- r- i-t r- mof fcutMfcn i.
