Defense Secretary James Schle-singer, meanwhile, told a news conference that the use of the techni-; cians was an acceptable risk but "I cannot say they are immune from? danger." But Ford and his two Cabinet of- ficers sought to allay any concern that the presence of the U.S.

technicians to operate surveilance equipment in the Sinai could lead to U.S. military involvement in the area.

All prisoners turned over to him, he said, will then be transported in chartered buses to jails in neighboring counties "as required by law" and he will bill the county for the additional expense amounting to several hundred thousand dollars a month. "There will no longer be a county jail under the board's ordinance, only an adult detention center, and in such a situation California law clearly requires the sheriff to take his prisoners to jails in neighboring counties," the sheriff said. "The building may belong to the county but the prisoners are mine as are the deputies working on the jail staff. I refuse to leave my men there to work under probation personnel because they are my personal deputies and I am legally responsible for them and their activities." The county jail in San Diego's downtown Civic Center has been a center of controversy for three years, beset by overcrowding, rioting, several killings and brutalities cited in three grand jury reports.

Two weeks ago a Superior Court jury awarded a 62-year-old Los Angeles man $25,000 damages for a broken leg and other injuries suffered when he was beaten by a sheriffs sergeant while being booked into the jail. Another deputy is awaiting sentence next Mon- day for assaulting two prisoners. 1 Built more than 20 years ago to house 700 men and women, the jail frequently holds twice that number with 70 or 80 often forced to sleep on bare concrete floors. Ballerina on horse US momios'mg if 9f Taiwan bars POWs held for 25 years Associated Prttt HONG KONG Three weeping Chinese who were prisoners of war in Communist China for 25 years returned there today because the Nationalist Chinese government would not admit them to Taiwan to join their families. "All three of us nearly gave our lives to the Kuomintang party in the civil war, but the Taiwan authorities have refused to grant us visas despite the repeated appeals of our families," Chang Hai-shang, 69, told a news conference before 1 he boarded the train for Canton.

He was' accompanied by Chao Yi-hsueh, 68, and Yang Nan-tsun, 70. They were among 10 former soldiers in Chiang Kai-shek's army who arrived in Hong Kong on April 10 hoping to go to Taiwan. They had been prisoners of war since the Communist conquest of the Chinese mainland in 1949 and were freed in a general amnesty early this year. Two of the other seven men have settled in the United States, two others reportedly have applied for admission to the United States, and another one hanged himself in a Hong Kong hotel. I Nationalist Chinese officials indicated that the men were not given entry visas for Taiwan because several of them said they were treated well by the Communists.

Chang said they were going back to China because they needed medical treatment. in hot pants Ralph Hale, owner of a men's clothing store in Palm Desert for which Mrs. Stewart does some design work, described Mrs. Stewart as madly in love with horses. "She's always believed that horses can do more than most peo-.

pie think She's been thinking about this trip for about nine years, but she could never get anyone to go with her," he said, explaining that someone has to drive alongside in a station wagon carrying water and pulling a trailer for the horse. At the National Park Service headquarters in Furnace Creek, pa-tilling rangers kept track of Mrs. fctewart's progress.

If he can delay Elizabeth Clark's scheduled takeover of the jail on Sept 19, by a court injunction or by collecting 46,000 signatures needed to put the issue on the ballot in next June's county election, he may be able to outmaneuver the supervisors and keep control of the jail. A bill requiring that all county jails in California be under sole au- thority of county sheriffs starting next Jan. 1 has cleared the Senate in Sacramento and is now before the assembly. If approved by the assembly, the measure would annul the ordinance passed by the county supervisors by a 3-2 vote on Aug. 19, converting the jail into an "adult detention center" under control of Mrs, Clark, 50, who has served 24 years in the county probation department i She will report to a newly established Department of Correction headed by Kenneth Fare, who has been the county's chief probation -officer.

i Duffy said that on Sept. 19, if the courts have failed to intervene on his behalf, he will remove his 108 deputies, including 11 supervisory officers from the jail, leaving Mrs. Of II By RICK ABRAMS Miami Ntwt Rtparttr Metro police are showing young women 15 different composite pictures of suspected sex offenders in a shot-in-the-dark chance that one could be the "Jack the Ripper" type responsible for the savage sexual mutilation-murders of two loung women. Police spokesmen said the com-. posite pictures have been shown to victims of sexual assault and others in the North Dade area.

Public release of the pictures is premature, however, police said. Police officials said that different pictures are shown depending on the crime and location of the offense. "We have numerous composites, but we're not going to release any of them, because at. this point, we can't place any of these people with any of the criminal acts that occurred," public information Sgt Doug Taggerty explained. Another police spokesman said the composites were being shown "because every shot we can get we're taking" in the hope that the suspect in one sex crime may be linked to the canal killer.

One of the composites depicts a blond, blue-eyed man In his 20s, described as "handsome" by some who have been shown the picture at the 163rd Street Shopping Center. The car of Ronnie Gorlin, a murder victim, was found in the shopping center parking lot one of its tires flat, on July 23, a day after Continued on 9A, coL 5 Caught on trestle, one doesn't make it AtnciaM Prttt TIMES BEACH, Mo. It was a holiday outing. On the spur of the moment the four decided to walk the railroad trestle over the Mera-mec River. A freight train rounded the bend and bore down on them.

They dashed for safety. Priscilla McSwain, 31, Creve Coeur, a teacher, was killed. She was struck by the locomotive as she tried to run to the end of the trestle. Diana Reed, 15, leaped from the trestle at the last second and re-ceived only minor injuries in a 15-foot fall. Her father, Michael Reed, 38, and Joyce Sabine, 31, also teachers, stretched out on the trestle beside the tracks and escaped unhurt as the train skidded past them and finally stopped.

Police said the four were about midway across the 150-yard span, some 60 feet above the ground, when the freight appeared. Her 8-year-old palomino, Son of Fire, sported a fancy outfit including the hot pants his mistress made for him. "In fact they look damn good, if you want to know the truth," asserted Hale. "They go down to his knees on his back legs. There's a cutout for his tail; they fit around the saddle and down below." Mrs, Stewart chose to wear leotards and a ballerina top, with a flat brimmed Spanish sombrero as she rode along three miles at a time.

After each stint two young men driving the station wagon were on band to give her water during 10-minute rest stops. AtfOclaMtf Prat WASHINGTON The provision in the Middle East peace plan that up to 200 U.S. technicians monitor the Sinai truce is meeting some opposition from members of Congress who are concerned that any American involvement there may lead to another Vietnam. President Ford, in telephone conversations yesterday with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the leaders of Israel and Egypt called the interim Israeli-Egyptian accord an historic event and a constructive contribution to peace. Kissinger told Ford there will be serious 'economic and military consequences' if Congress fails to approve the assignment of U.S.

tech-nicans to the Sinai. Ford replied that he was certain Congress will go along with the plan because the accord is not only great for both countries but for the world as a whole. "She's In beautiful shape, said Hale. "She's been a ballet dancer and she's a yoga expert" Hale had driven the accompanying station wagon the previous day, and said, "It's hot all right You have to drive up ahead and then circle back, so the car won't overheat We had a thermometer and it read 125 in the car." Hale believes it is the first crossing of the valley on horseback. He noted that people have hiked across its width, but not the length.

"NoaVody crosses except in air-conditioned cars," he said.

Travelers in Death Valley did a doubletake when through the rippling heat waves they discerned a 62-year-old ballerina astride a palomino in orange hot pants. It was not a mirage in this baking desert valley, but Flora Stewart making her point don't underestimate horses and elderly ladies. Mrs. Stewart left Furnace Creek' Ranch before dawn yesterday, hoping to finish a 62-mile crossing of the bleak, scorching valley.
