A joint resolution advocating the program cleared both houses and was signed by Gov. Tom Shanahan, 17, of Pasadena.

Some of the 400 legislators questioned the wisdom of approving the measure, but Sen. Bill Vandercook, 17, of Sacra mento, won their support by saying it would help relieve the effect of the population explosion on the schools. Before it was adopted, the resolution was amended to strike out a portion favoring dispensation of birth control medication. youthful lawmakers at the annual exercise in government turned down a bill which would have given prison inmates with good conduct records the right to have conjugal visits. "The purpose of (he penal code is to punish, not make it easy," said Jim Crane, 17, of Ontario.

Duffy, is missing and presumed- drowned in the Pacific, at Ocean Beach. He went to the beach, at the foot of San Francisco's Wawona Saturday with five other San Leandro teenagers, all schoolmates at San Lorenzo High School.

They spent most nf the afternoon surfing on air mattresses in three-foot swells. At about 3:30 p.m., Duffy and Pete Conklin, 16, took their mat tresses farther out "to catch a big one," Peter later told police. Coming in, Peter said, he told Frank, "I'm scared." "Let's get off and swim in," was Frank's reply. They were about 100 yards from shore, Peter said, when he could swim no further and yelled for help. Surfboard riders nearby paddled to his rescue.

Mrs. Duffy said, "Peter called me from over there on the tele- I pnone. ne sam ne screamea tor help. He said Frank was floating on his back. They came and rescued Peter, and when they looked around they couldn't see Frank anymore." Mrs.

Goldwater Seeks Cuba Blockade Continued from Page 1 must be finally and fully applied." Goldwater said as long as Cuban "subversion is sheltered by the indifference of this administration, no nation in Latirt America can be secure and no nation in Latin America can truly respect, much less respond to our leadership. "The flame that flared in Panama will burn The murder and agitation that haye stalked Venezuela will rise again. The teetering balance Brazil will collapse and plunge to chaos if Cuba remains. a subversive Goldwater said. "It is difficult to expect the administration that has permitted this to happen suddenly admit its mistakes and make' a new beginning.

Those with a vested interest in past mistakes will have trouble doing the job." He said the blockade imposed during the October 1962 missile crisis to keep offensive weapons out of Cuba "proves that we could be firm without forcing a general war." School Boycott Set CHICAGO (AP) A group of leaders of Civil Rights organizations decided Saturday to go ahead with a boycott of Chicago's public schools Feb. 25. They sponsored a similar dem onstration Oct. 22 and 224,770 of the 4693jiupils stayed away from classes. Some officials said they felt the Russian blast against the United States for seizing the fishermen may have been made before hard evidence materialized to show that the Cuban boats were without doubt in U.S.

waters. The United States Saturday denied a Cuban government as sertion that this government had had been informed beforehand of exactly where the fishing boats would be operating. Officials said Havana informed Washington on DecrO through the Swiss that parts of the Cuban fishing fleet would be operating in sections of the Gulf of Mexico off the American coast but not in U. S. waters.

The United States replied on Dec. 19 that it needed more details on locations. State Department officials said there was no reply. Honeymoon Has to Be Postponed CONCORD Edward and Anita Nielsen were joined in wedlock Saturday afternoon, and separated hours later by a traffic accident.

ITS F-r45 Continued from Page 1 have never embraced it before, they said. The other concerned Guantan-amo. These officials said the gradual discharge of Cuban workers and the refusal to buy Cuban water again, even if it were offered, would cost Castro Tnuch needed foreign exchanger But the major motive of the United States is far greater than that. It is to make the base entirely independent of Cuba and to serve notice on Castro he would do well to abandon any intentions of moving on the strategic installation on Cuba's Southeastern tip. TURNED OVER The Cuban fishermen have been turned over to Florida authorities for violation of a state law against fishing in territorial waters because there is no federal law prohibiting this.

The fishermen will get a fair trial without any reference to rela tions between Cuba and the United States, U.S. officials said. They asserted that the United States was not any behind the scenes pressure on the case, but might well present its views in open court. They cited legal precedents which have arisen between American fishermen and the governments of Peru, Ecuador and Mexico. In another development Saturday, Castro said he would return a stolen Florida shrimp boat because "we are not going to repay one illegality with another illegality." A young Cali-fornian steered the boat into Havana harbor Friday night, offering it as a "reparation" for the four Cuban vessels seized by the United States.

Initial administration theories are that Castro may have baited a trap to take advantage of the U.S.-Panama dispute over the Panama canal to gain attention for his argument against the presence of the United States in Guantanamo. These theories have now largely evaporated. HOPEFUL SIGNS said the Panamanian situation appeared to be moving toward an amicable arrangement for- discussion and that it was unlikely there would be much mileage in it for Castro. There also was a tendency in official quarters Saturday, to play down the idea that Russia might somehow have been concerned in a plot to increase pressure against Guantanamo on leave from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

"The students had wanted to do something special and they decided on this. They were all enjoying themselves and then suddenly it happened."
