Police talks at a standstill FREMONT Members of the Fremont Police Association bargaining team have called an impasse in their wage and fringe benefit negotiations with the city. The forma) ratification that an impasse exists means sim- ply that each side will step back for a minute, icassess its position and see if perhaps it can soften its stand. In the extreme, the impasse declaration could lead to mediation or conciliation between the two arbitration or fact finding.

At the other end of the sepctrum. the two sides could simply come back to the bargaining table at their next meeting and pick up where they left off. The key issue, of course, is the site of (he wage and fringe benefits increase the police will receive in a contract. In their original demands, the police asked for a IS per cent pay increase, the California Highway Patrol retirement plan, the city to pay any increase in premiums for health insurance, a 12th holiday and time-and-a-half for all overtime, including training lime.

H. Hoscit. a South Lake Tahoc. attorney win would have been president and director and held a one-third interest In the gambling, drew the fire of the board.

The board also referred to a case where Hoseit. as a builder of a hotel at Lake Tahoe was accused of polluting the Tahoe waters, lloseitt denied the allegation. Board member Shannon Bybee said lloscit was "not conducive to operating in a industry. You resist regulation."

Opposition to Brown budget eases SACRAMENTO Dissident Assembly Democratic opposition to a $11.5 billion version of Gov.

Edmund G. Brown first proposed state budget eased slightly Wednesday when two of the five holdouts said they would vote for the bill. Democratic Assemblymen Ken Meade of Berkeley and Richard Robinson of Santa Ana. who joined with Republicans and three other Democrats to block the proposed budget, said they were now ready to vote for it. The compromise budget proposal passed the Senate on Tuesday and stalled in the.

Assembly on a 19 20 vote, five short of the 54 needed. Reconsideration of the vote is expected Thursday. The legislature already missed the Sunday constitutional deadline for passage of the budget to Brown desk. Fremont man injured in acid accident Opposing the document were Democratic Assemblyman Willie Brown Jr. of San Francisco.

Art Torres and Richard Alatorre. both of Los Angeles. All the votes were casty by Republicans who complained the "fat" and "bloated." Democratic Assembly Speaker Leo T. McCarthy, who pushed for quick passage of the budget, told reporters that it may lake a week to gather the needed voles to approve the measure. McCarthy said that if the dissident Democrats failed to return to the "rest of the fold." he "will have to seek Republican votes." Assemblyman Brown, wtn lost to McCarthy in a bitter speakership fight last year, remained in strong opposition to the record spending proposal, citing cuts of nearly $2 million in community college Iniversity of California "Equal Opportunity Programs" for minority students, lie also said he wanted it guaranteed that a full $652 million in cost of living increases for the blind, disabled and elderly would be appropriated by the budget.

Both Alatorre and Torres supported Brown in the leadership fight but insisted their opposition to the budget had nothing to da with battle for speaker. Meade. win met with McCarthy Wednesday, said he was prepared to "reluctantly" vote for the budget because of a "guarantee" made by McCarthy that deleted money for trie disputed college programs would be provided in a separate bill later. "I've told Leo that I would vote for the budget if he can guarantee the money for the programs." said.Meade. adding that McCarthy had assurances that such legislation SAN JOSE A Fremont and a Hayward man were reported in critical condition here following an industrial accident in which both suffered serious chemical bums.

The victims in the accident at Raychem McnJo Park, are Dennis Gardener. 28. of 27786 Orlando Hay-ward, and llarland Valentine. 43. of 41490 Trenouth.

The production workers were injured late Monday at the chemical as the)- were in the process of transferring a hot phenolic i phenol is a form of carbolic acidi solution from one tank into a IJOO-gallon vessel containing a cold acid, according to company spokesman Robert Halperin.

The agitator in the tank, which'usually runs during the' transfer, had been turned 'down, causing tremendous steam pressure within the tank when the two solutions started to mix. The result was the chemicals, used in a process to manufacture electrical insulation made of plastic, sprayed out of the tank, hitting the men. Raychem first aid people and the Park fire department gave emergency treatment to the four men before tbey were taken to Stanford Hospital. Colouch remains at Stanford in fair condition while the three others, in critical condition, were moved to the San Jose facility. Menlo Park fire department spokesman Winh Baker said pheiut bums the skin and is absorbed through the skin as a poison.

Robinson, a Democrat who represents portion of politically conservative Orange County, 'said he withheld his support for the budget because he wanted more ruts made. "I will vote for the budget the'first time' around if it comes'up on Robinson. "But'again if it doesn't pass I will change to 'not voting' and withhold my support." and Torres said they would not vote for the budget in its present form and suggested it be voted down and sent another conference committee.

Alatorre said money for "Equal Opportunity Programs" --earlier deleted by a first Assembly-Senate conference committee -should be restored to the budget immediately. Buck passed on Niles veterans building Arms sales opposed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, tells trie State Foreign Relations Subcommittee yesterday the United States is hooking the states of the Persian Gulf on "the herein of modern arms" by massive weapons sales to the region. Kennedy renewed his call for a six-month moratorium on arms sales to the Persian Gulf states so Congress could assess U.S.

policies in the region. Fremont council wields ax Piece of budget lopped off Continued from 1 deferred until next year. The councilmen also: Lopped off a $5,000 project to put a diesel fuel tank in at the Grimmer Fire Station. Cut a recommendation for installation of garbage disposals at fire stations. The proposal was part of a larger request for dishwashers, refrigerators, a gas stove and other houskeeping items at the stations.

Laid down some personal viewpoints on expansion of city hall without taking any definitive action. The councilmen last year approved spending $175,000 to complete the fourth floor of city hall. For another (225,000. they can complete an empty observation deck at the rear of the third floor, reglaze the third- floor skylight, remodel the second floor and enclose a walkway around the third floor. Councilman Geoffrey Steel indicated support for finishing off the observation deck, as this would provide additional work space.

He questioned, however, enclosing the third floor walkway merely to protect staff members in planting from a gust when people come in from the outside walkway. FREMONT The buck Is evidently going back and forth between the city and the county on that veterans memorial building in Mies. Beatrice Vieira. state commander for the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary, told city councilmen the board of supervisors isnt taking any action on the building until the city indicates whether it is willing to take it over. The county has been attempting to get cities which have such veterans buildings.to take them over and broaden their usage to include many elements in the community.

The veterans, however, fear their building will suffer from vandalism if turned over to the general public. In addition, they claim they use the building almost every night of the month now. and the acoustics there dont really permit several meetings to be held in different rooms. Meanwhile, city councilmen are waiting for a report on legal of a takeover. The property for the building was deeded to the county by the Shinn family with one condition namely that a building be built for veterans and if that building were no longer used for veterans the property would revert back to the family.

In an unofficial opinion. Ted Bressler. assistant city attorney, has argued that if the veterans were given priority on the building, the deed condition may be met. If the city were to take over the about $5,000 would have to be allocated in the budget. The remaining $5,000 in maintenance costs would be made up by renting the build-, ing out to outside groups.

If the veterans do get the city to refuse the building, they still have the problem of getting the county to fund all or part of the maintenance costs. Mrs. Vieira stressed that the veterans have been sharing their building with little league groups and other functions during the day. The main concern, she said, is that it be reserved for the veterans at night. Higher farm subsidies opposed DENVER itPli Undersecretary of Agriculture J.

Phil Campbell said Wednesday a return to high subsidy programs for American farmers would prevent the nation from meeting domestic food needs and export requirements. Campbell also said that despite high production costs farmers' net profits in 1975 will be" "about $20 billion or better, the third highest in history." Campbell said rigid farm programs restricting production also would eliminate dreds of thousands of farmers and would very adversely affect'the economy." Peak-hour capacity 'too small' Local dial-a-ride plan appears doomed Continued from Page I The system wwild cost a shopping $4.106.000. The reason for the large increase for the last alternative, well above existing funding, is that the 14 additional driven would work for two or three rush hours, but, according to labor contracts, must be paid for an tight- hour day. AC Transit, which takes over the Fremont- Newark bus system July I. has yet to award bids for the mini-buses used in the dial-a ride program.

According to transit company officials, such bids will not be awarded until November, pushing back the startup of dial- a-ride until March 1976. Originally, the minibus system was scheduled to begin in January. Since board meetings began this year. AC has been searching for. what they term, a reliable minibus which could also be used in limited rixed- route service.

Now it appears, those dial a ride buses will be providing just that. Pressed for a recommendation on an alternative system, ACl Don Larson yesterday recommended suspending peak-hour dial- a-ride (except in some limited areas) until additional funds ran be raised to pay for the system. But AC'S own publicist. Virginia Dcnnison, said providing a hedge pudge of dial-a-ride in jome arras and only fixed-route service in others would lead to total confusion by the Fremont-Newark nrfomen. She added that a nixed system could cause a disastrous mijun- dentanding of transit similar to foulups which occurred In the iwrdefunct Santa Clara Coun- tydial-a-rideproyim.

"You could be putting together a monster," she told AC and DAVE representatives. "You'll never be able to explain it (the system) to the customers and will end up having tochaiwcil." A system that provides unequal service service to residents living in different dial-a-ride zones will be totally unacceptable as an alternative, said Newark representative Nelson "How can you tell someone he's paying the same as someone across town but can't have dial a-ride service because he's living in a asked. The discussion of alternative systems brought fiery criticism from Silliman, a former Newark mayor. "Iris try the program the voters called for in flood faith." he said, red flushing down his face. "Damn it.

I don't see how we can lose the faith of those people. We're deciding on a bus system for them after the fact. lay it on the line." he continued. the system fail on the strcrt.not on paper." But the much feared 4-3 voteadvantage held by Fremont advisory hord members rang true as the motion to order the original s) stem died from deadlock. "Our job is to bring in a system that costs 33 rents and is the closest to the one voted on." saod Mrs.

Holmes In victor)'. Joining her were lampcrt cant advocate a system that looks like it's not going to and Mrs Zlatnk AC bound to follow the plan to the Idler? I dont think they Following up on her remarks. Mrs. Holmes Mud it wai "plain irresponsible" to implement a transit plan that rouktnl cam' rush-hour loads I The current interim system carries 2.700 riders per day. According to updated DAVE Systems estimates, the dial-a-ride program would be faced with a 4.000 person daily rider- ship.

The major change in DAVE estimates came in the peak hour periods during morning and lateaftcrnoon commutes, The original DAVE report estimated that only 1,100 persons would ride buses during these hours. The additional 500-person estimate comes from examining ridership on existing interim bus lines, the AOoperated Richmond dial- a ride system and the Santa Clara County experience, according to DAVE of ficials. Also adding to magnitude of the ridership increase during peak periods Is that Union City, whose riders were accounted in original estimates, has opted out of the AC dial-a-ride program. Boiled down, it means that while DAVE expected 1.100 riders from the Tri- Cities, 1.600 riders will be generated from Fremont-Newark alone. "We recommend (hit you only allow sub- scription service on dial-a-ride during peak hours," said DAVE'S Marcel Zobrak at jester- day's meeting.

lie said that during those only per-' sons who place ride orders or days, a a of schedule be permitted to ride-Oinnvint; the dut-a-ride phone-responsive service open to the general public after rush hours "Once you have mettred the demands, you ran provide dcmind responsive sen-Ice during the peak." Zobrak offered "You Tint want to tee whit kind of peak demands you have and whether you can hmdle it." I' Now the advisory board and AC officials must hammer out an alternative system since the original has all but been discarded entirely. Two of the alternatives call for drastic changes in proposed service, two call for more driven, buses, and money. In other action, advisory members learned that Transcoach Corp. of Chatsworth. Calif, is nearing completion of a minibus prototype, built to AC specifications.

The $35.000 bus is 22-feet long, seats 22 passengers, and has forward facing seats. It would take four months for the Southern California manufacturer to build the AC fleet if they receive the contract. AC officials also told board members that on Sept. some 90 buses will begin operations out of a new corporation yard on Sycamore Street in Newark. The buses.

60 of which are used in the Fremont-Newark interim system, would be located here, ending costly deadhead trips from ACsSouthOaklandbam. It was not nude dear during the meeting whether the South Hayward and Pleasanton buses stored and serviced at the Newark yard be segregarted from Fremont-Newark buses which are serviced with funds from a separate district One board member was concerned that tax monks generated by Fremont-Newark voters would be used In the Newark yard to pay for service on Hayward-Pleasanton coaches. "How AC going to separate the buses in the yard to make sure the rent Is not paid by prnora who don't ever tee the buses In their home lawn?" the member said following the meeting. Gas to go up before July 4 Continued from Pjge 1 has permitted them to increase less than 20 cents per gallon since the agency was created 25 months ago. It would be a drastic reversal in form if it allowed a jump to as much as Hugo said fuel pump prices for major brands around Illinois are 58.9 cents for regular and 62.9 cents for premium, but he expected the 3 to 5 cent hike to affect them July 4 weekend.

Hugo said some regions where competition has been keen were forced to price their supplies at less than the FEA ceiling. He predicted those outlets could impose dramatic price increases as supplies tighten. "What all this means." Hugo said, "is that we're going to hare to fall in line with the Ford Administration target drive less and use public transportation more."
