That is, ONE of them did. Ihe second Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) broke down 50 yards offshore, in an inlet south of Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, stranding a corps of newsmen who stood on its bobbing deck and waved gaily as the other ACV went storming past. The one that worked, worked beautifully. 1 It carried Mayor and C. Houlihan, of Oakland, Edward G.

At San Francisco, Mayor Houlihan was greeted by airport manager George Hansen and other San Francisco dignitaries Houlihan hovered" back to Oakland airport again in just 25 minutes to preside over ceremonies marking this country's first commercial hovercraft service.

The (akland Housing Authority Is going to poll the residents of three public housing projects before deciding if any more backyard fences will be removed. The latest, development In the month long battle over the fences came yesterday as about 20-pro-fence residents continued their protests against the removal program at an authority meeting. Housing commissioners voted 3 to 2 to ask eaeh family in the Peralta Villa, Lockwood Gardens and Campbell Village projects if it wants a fence.

Everyone will be asked, in cluding those living on the second floor. There are a total of 918 units in the three projects. The argument continued for more than two hours yesterday, jumping the fences into other areas of public housing management including bow to evict a lady tenant with toe rnaqy men callers, and who should tighten clotheslines and. clean front yards. Richard York, who lives In Peralta Villa and has been leader of the pro-fence group there, read a two-page statement attacking what he called, the authority's "Big Daddy paternal- --v Then he said.

a poll he had conducted within the project showed the residents wanted fences, two garbage pick-ups a week, and for the authority to maintain the front yards. Mrs. Elberta Clayton, president of the Peralta Villa Civic Club, said her organization supports the1 fence removal. She submitted" a 100-signature peti tion to that end. York said he has 152 names on his petition to retain the fences.

William Getz, spokesman for the Lockwood Gardens pro-fence group, said he has 200 signatures favoring the fences. And the other night the on the phone from the Oakland woman who wanted her house patrolled and watched while she's away.

You must follow this: A Piedmont woman showed up at Trader Vic's the other night for dinner, but with a man other than her husband. Freddie Fiihg, the manager, knew her and figured it would be best to seat the couple at a back table, which he did. Not 10 minutes later the woman's husband walked in alone. Freddie stopped him at the foyer, slapped him on the back arid suggested the two of themFreddie and the Inisband go somewhere else for dinner. The husband agretd, they drove out to' Petar's, where Freddie covered he had no cash nor credit cards with him.

He whispered this to Petar and it was fine. Topless Dance Act Scrutinized SAN PABLO The topless dance fad has arrived here and law; enforcement officers are conferring on what action they will take.

Wame said in San Francisco that 63,300 square miles of watershed in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley and the Bay Area will be pouring 1.S billion gallons of waste per day into the Bay raising a question of whether the Bay will be able to assimilate waste by natural proc esses.

Coed Pulled BERKELEY It had been about three minutes since David Williams, 7, sank to the bottom of the swimming pool. He was not breathing and as far, as Alice Eastland and Peggy O'Neil could tell he was dead.

Alice, 21, had pulled David out of the water while Peggy, 22, her roommate, rushed down three flights of stairs to the poolside to assist. Instinct called for action. Alice ran to phone the fire department while Peggy began artificial respiration. She never had done it before, but she thought she recalled seeing "something In a first aid book, a long time ago." Memory did not fail the University of California coed. Steadily and evenly she applied the rhythmic pressure to the boy's In two miinutes most of the water was out of his lungs, and he was breathing spasmodically.

He was breathing almost regu larly in four minutes. Then, after another minute, the boy began to cry. "It was a bie relief to hear him cry," pretty Peggy O'Neil said later. "Then I knew he was going to make it." It was a narrowing expert-. ence for the two roommates, both U.C.

And speaking of unseen heroism, poor Joe Bertolino, A barber at the Hotel Leamington shop, went up to Tahoe I not long ago and played golf at the tricky little Tahoe Paradise course.

He bagged a hole-inrone with a wedge i on the fourth hole. He didn't know a soul at the course, and came back to Oakland dejected. Without witnesses what's a hole-in-one?
