Howard Holtzendorff, the authority's executive director, made the charge in a bitter 21 -page statement he read to City Council's gov ernmental efficiency committee. "It is one thing for the mayor to destroy employee morale and interfere with the orderly administration of city departments but quite another thing for him to do the same thing with a state agency," he said.

Holtzendorff for 23 years th' authority's top staff officer and frequently a controversial figure him; self appeared before the council committee as it re sumed its inquiry into pos sible misuse of city funds in administering the agency's affairs. Probe Widening The widening probe, undertaken on the basis of charges leveled by minority commissioner Leo A.

Levy told the officers he was given the huge painting by Bob (Red) Hare, missing proprietor of the coffee house, in lieu of pay for some decorating work he did at the Insomniac. After he read in newspapers that Oda's owner, Byron Stevens, an art collector, had reported the nude missing, Levy called police headquarters and agreed to relinquish the painting. New Television Station Begins Operation Here BY CECIL SMITH Live television, a rarity these days, came back to town Monday night with the opening of the new UHP interracial station KIIX (Chan nel 22). It was both live and live ly, normally beset with open ing night jitters, filled with technical mishaps but a Dot of fun. The station went on the air from its gaily painted studio at 2320 Washington BlvtL, a former automo bile showroom, for a 4i hour opening session.

There were no formal cere monies. The Rev. C. Dubois Tolbert opened the telecast with a prayer, and announcer Bob de Coy introduced the station, saying it is designed to serve the Ne gro population of this area There was only one "formal" program a children's show conducted by Mrs. Shirley Jones.

De Coy introduced various personalities who will con duct regular shows on the station, including Dick Bass of the Rams, who will han dle sports, and Verne Steven son, who will present a 3- hour- "Jazz Festival" each Saturday night This is the second Los Angeles UHF station designed for a special audience to begin telecasting in the last six months. The first was Spanish-language station KMEX! (Channel 34). Another Pair Get Typhoid Examinations Two more possible typhoid victims were confined Monday in General Hospital for observation. They brought to 21 the number of persons hospital ized by a typhoid outbreak precipitated by an unsuspecting carrier at a teenage party Feb. 16 in Pacoima.

Eight of the victims were found to have the disease, while eight others were listed as possibly having it and five were discharged. The two latest suspected victims are a 19-year-old Los Angeles youth and a 5-year- old Pacoima boy. The carrier, discovered Friday, has been isolated and placed under observa tion, the City Health De partment announced.

"The vanishing of the wilderness has been a long process of nibbling," says Robert Marshall of the Sierra Club, which leads opposition. "It is still going on to day." is conservation chairman of the club's Southern Section. "This attempt to take San Gorgonio is just one more nibble among the many big-i ger nibbles in progress all over America," he says.

Ironies involved in pale face inheritance of the Indian's long, losing -battle' to save the wilds, along with the Indian recourse ap peal to the "Great White Fa ther" in Washington, are not lost on the Sierrans.

Blodgett that the mayor's office financed a trip to Washington for two Housing Authority representatives in order to withhold information from Holtzendorff and his as sistant, Miss Barbara Rosien, because of their pending law suit against the authority. In his statement, Holtzen dorff asked the council's cooperation in removing administration of the Housing Authority from the "local political interference, domination and control of the mayor." Points to Mayor The mayor, he asserted, is "personally and directly responsible" for inducing Blodgett and the other three new commissioners he appointed last July to attempt to break the employment contracts held by Holtzendorff and Miss Rosien.

This is the action the two authority officers have attempted to halt through their pending lawsuit. Holtzendorff also branded as "malicious, false and defamatory" statements mada by Blodgett that the author ity's office building had been wired with listening devices and that its operational re-, serve fund had become a' cookie jar for outrageous and improper expenditures."

A high-fat diet, he said, gives the overworked pancreas, where insulin is pro duced, a resting period which he believes may allow the organ to regenerate.

The pancreas is rested be cause a high-fat diet eliminates the necessity of obtain ing calories from carbohy drates. Insulin is required in large amounts to metaboliz carbohydrates. In a series of 13 juvenile patients receiving the high-fat diet, four have shown the ability to produce enough insulin to make In jections unnecessary, he said. Another speaker, Dr. Pe ter H.

"But lumbermen, grazers, miners and petroleum inter ests now covet them, too, and it is they who are fight ing the Wilderness Bill.

There were enough of them to have taken the country over in half an hour. Presidential helicopters were within a few minutes' ride and could have snatched the President and put him aboard a carrier if necessary. En route home the President's special airplane was accompanied most of the way by a flight of eight F105 twice-the-speed-of-sound fighter planes with tanker1 aircraft which refuelled' the comparatively short-range fighters en route. Incidentally they put on quite a show for the President, doing their refuelling quite a sight in the brilliant Caribbean sunset just off to the right of the Presidential plane so that Mr. Kennedy would have the opportunity to watch the spectacular operation.

A special communications airplane also flew along to the rear of the Presidential aircraft to make certain that there should not be an instant during which he would be out of touch with the White "House.

A new emphasis on de tecting diabetes before symp toms become apparent may prevent some of the ravages of the disease in millions of future victims.
