I i 1 sJs 1 2 'L-ly SACRAMENTO (UP!) -Tim Williams, the first high level Indian advisor to Gov, Ronald Reagan, says he was fired from the post because he had "not been able to get along with the staff in Reagan's office. Williams, who previously entertained fans at Stanford University football games for 21 years as Indian mascot "Prince Lightfoot," discussed his dismissal Tuesday at a news conference. "I was persistent in pushing Indian programs," Williams said, blaming Reagan "underlings" for preventing him from accomplishing significant headway for California Indians. James E.

Jenkins, Reagan's director of public affairs, said Williams, 49, a leader of the Yurok tribe, was fired because he failed to fulfill conditions of his contract. He did not mention specific failures. Williams, who campaigned for Reagan, was hired as the governor's advisor on California Indian affairs 2 12 years ago. His salary was $18,000 a year. Williams complained he had been able to meet personally with Reagan only twice while holding the advisor's post-once to have his picture taken and again when a group of Indian leaders met with Reagan.

One midshipwoman said she had been fascinated by the sea since she was Syears old and was "elated" that the law was changed to admit women to the academy. Another said she signed on "even though some of the jobs will involve work that is hot and greasy." The women will be given no favors. They'll be doing everything the men do, from chipping paint to trying ship navigation when the Golden Bear goes out for a three month cruise next January.

Henry Diavatis, academy information officer, said eight women initially applied to be cadets. He said once the midshipwomen have their third mate's tickets, they can expect to earn from $20,000 per year up. VALLEJO (UPI) The deletion of one word in a California state law has enabled five young women to become the first midship-women in the history of the 44-yeaV-old California Maritime Academy, The word "male" was deleted from the state law that establishes the academy's list of admission requirements.

Chess boards and sets are provided. Club directors hope to offer some informal tournaments soon, including 5-minute tournaments (using chess clocks), a 6-week championship tournament, besides providing practice for local players planning to enter The Signal's championship tournament this fall. As announced last week, The Signal plans to feature its valley-wide chess championships during late October. The first annual event, held last August, attracted over 100 players. Tournaments officials decided that the Fall timing would cause fewer conflicts for vacationing residents and feel the October date would avoid the severe summer temperatures.

Up for grabs in the tourney will be trophies, prizes, and official titles for the men's, women's and junior chess titles. Brothers Under The Sun "Chess and wine are born brothers." --Russian proverb. For music lovers, and lovers of Old World atmosphere one of the happiest occurences of the California summer is the series $of concerts given at the beautiful old Paul Mas-son winery in the hills high above Saratoga, 40 miles south of San Francisco. This year marked the advent of what we can hope will be a parallel tradition, a summer chess festival on the same site. In the early morning, dust clouds rose from the road running to Masson vineyards and winery as hundreds of cars wound up the hill.

They came from all over California and beyond, from Phoenix and Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas. When play started under the clear, sunny sky, there were 537 players. What U.S. chess needs is more sponsors of the Masson stripe, people who care not only for chess but for the creation of an atmosphere so thoroughly in consonance with a game of thought that the tournament becomes a happy experience to be remembered with pleasure by winners and losers alike. The First Paul Masson Chess Festival was a four-round Swiss tournament.

Winner of the Master Group was Kim Commons, 22, of Huntington Beach. He was the only player of that group to win all his games. His play is such that he should have little trouble winning his International Chess Master title soon. Tied for second were John Dedinsky of Palo Alto and Roy Erwin of Santa Monica. (Frank Marshall, the legendary U.S.

champion, used to supplement his income by setting up a table and board on the Atlantic City Boardwalk where he would take on all comers. Roy Erwin, a continent and a half century away, does exactly the same thing on. the beach at Santa Monica). While the winners of the various classes, like the bulk of the players, were predominantly Californian, Division had a winner, Mitchell Montchalin, of Portland, and 'B" had one in Ben Vandiver of Indianapolis. New Church The Science of Christ Non Denominational Church, located at 30257 San Martinez Road in Val Verde opened its doors for service May 13 under the pastoralship of Elder James Bartsdale, founder of the organization.

Church services are held at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. each Sunday with church school conducted at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday. iy Insurance Men Snap At Each Other A Lot Of Gold In The Oil Freda Payne Soon after her arrival in New York she met composer-arranger Quincy Jones and toured the globe as vocalist for his band.

Upon returning to Manhattan she signed a recording contract -with the super-hot Holland-Dozier-Holland record label, Invictus, where she made it big with her recording "Band Of Gold." Magic Mountain's one-price admission policy, $5.50 for adults and $4.50 for children 3-11, entitles guests to unlimited use of all rides and attractions plus entry into the Showcase Theatre of the Stars.

Martin displayed a letter from Fox asking the Hart Association to cancel its previous year fire insurance coverage effective July 1, "1972, -more than a month before Fox received the '72-73 insurance contract.

He charged that Fox was trying to pick up a month's premium fee for no coverage. "He knew there were no fires during that period," Martin explained. Martin said Fox did not ask the Hart Association to cancel its liability policy until August 8, when the Fox contract began. Liability complaints from the period before August 8 might not be revealed until later in the year. Fox, who was in the audience, reacted philosophically to the charges.

"I think it's really sad that these cfemments have to be made," he said. School board president Tom Hanson then rushed in to bolster the besmirched reputation of the Hart District. "Last year, things got all fouled up and we made a mess. "But we don't want to drag up the past-- we're trying to find a way of doing things better in the future." The school board held decision on whether to change their policy until the next board meeting.

Mobil Oil, the other of the eight giants, has not yet released its financial statement. Here is a com- parison of profits this year compared the earnings a Ambulance Ordeal Continued From Page I Monday, Town recommended that insurance be bought through open bidding or negotiation, and that the Hart Brokers' association be abolished. Last year, the board broke their policy by contracting with a broker outside the Hart Association. Broker Bob Fox's low bid of $40,894 was accepted by the board.

Next lowest bidder was a Hart Association member, Norman Molgaard, who bid $44,265. When Town proposed the revision Monday night, several Hart brokers took an opportunity to fire critical salvos at Town and Fox. Hart Association member Duane Gartner complained that the Hart business office made it difficult for him to offer a bid on the insurance contract. The office mailed him a set of district bid forms less than ten days before they were due to be turned in. "That doesn't give you a lot of time to make a bid," Gartner said.

Brokers must consult a numberof carriers to get the most competitive bid, according to the complex set of specifications outlined on the bid forms. Gartner also said County Counsel's ruling should not be the final word in the issue. "We're a non-profit organization, licensed by the state," Gartner explained. "County Counsel does not take precedence over that." Gartner said he was "still firmly convinced of the long-range benefit of placing insurance with local associations." Newhall broker Andrew Martin also a member of the Association, had harsh words for Fox, the current (California's unofficial state bird) Excitable Truck Driver "PSA wants to go north (or south) with your money.

Dennis Jorgenson of Newhall Ambulance said an ambulance was dispatched Sunday when the highway patrol called it -got to the scene at 2:45 p.m. and got the two Gorman ambulance patients to Golden Slate at 3:10 p.m. Jorgenson said Newhall Ambulance has two-way radios in their ambulances. So does Gorman Ambulance, said Ruth Ralphs, secretary-treasurer of Gorman Ambu lance. "The radio was out having a tube replaced that day," she said.

Captain Robert Goode, commander of the Newhall Highway Patrol station, said a motorist called the station at 2:17 p.m. Sunday and reported an ambulance broken down with people in it on Interstate 5, between Lyons Avenue and Castaic. "We advised Newhall Ambulance, which dispatched an ambulance, and sent one of our men out too," Goode said. He said a second motorist called a few moments later to say an ambulance was broken down on the-freeway north of Castaic.

This information was radioed to the highway patrol unit and Newhall ambulance, both of which continued to roll northwards. "Then we got a third call saying the-, ambulance was Fresno. San Jcfse, and Stockton. Over 200 The truck driver, Edward Law, WestCovina, continued to act strangely and the officers began to suspect that he might have taken drugs. The deputies said Law denied this saying, "I haven't taken anything.

Check the truck, check in the cab." The deputies did and said they found 37 small, white tablets in the cab. Law was arrested and charged with suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and suspicion of possession of amphetamines. Tuesday morning stopped a truck that was driving near Hasley Canyon Road and the (rj eway because its lights were flashing on and off. As soon as the truck was stopped, the officers said, the driver leaped out of the cab and hustled over to the patrol car. "He was yelling loudly about having been stopped.

As he approached us he began furiously waving his arms and wildly jumping up and down," the officers' report stated. flights a day connecting all of northern and southern California. Call your travel agent or PSA and let's migrate. PSA gives you a lift -v.
