City Government Corruption Still Main Issue, Bradley Says BY RAY Times Cou.ity County Supervisors Tuesday agreed to grant more than 60,000 full-time employes virtually all the $45 million pay increases recommended by County Personnel Director Gordon T. Nesvig.

The supervisors also boosted the $885 minimum monthly pay to $417, effective July 1. To match city schedules, they cut the 59-hour work week for county firemen to 56. However, the supervisors refused to grant wage and fringe benefit increases totaling $112 million sought by employe organizations. In ordering a salary ordinance drafted for final adoption next Tuesday, the supervisors delayed a decision until next week on Nesvig's proposal to raise the pay of 113 top officials (department heads and other chief deputies) an average of S.25. Chairman Ernest' E.

Debs and Supervisor Kenneth Hahn questioned some of these boosts for the higher executives. Hahn complained that Nesvig's recommendations would not separate a "good, hard-working department head" from a "fair, mediocre or poor department head." Awaiting Retirement Debs charged that some strive to reach the level of a department head only to relax and await retirement on a liberal county pension. "It is about time to say to department heads: 'The free ride is over. You are going to have to earn Debs said. But Supervisor Frank G.

Bonelli said the department heads represent only a tenth of 1 of the county payroll, and the increases for them would be little more than $100,000 annually. By motion of Supervisor Burton W. Chace, the board ordered preparation of an ordinance encompassing most of Nesvig's proposals. Effective July 1, these would grant a 5.5 increase to 73 of the county work force and an 8.25 increase to another 16. Smaller groups would get other hikes ranging from 2.75 to 16.5.

An amendment to raise the minimum pay from $3S5 to $417 monthly was proposed by Hahn. Debs and Bonelli insured its passage while Chace voted no. The fifth supervisor, Warren Dorn, was in Washington, D.C., on county business. Debs' motion to cut firemen's hours passed without dissent. BY RICHARD BERGHOLZ Timet Political Writer BY JOHN H.

AVERILL Timet Staff Writer WASHINGTON" Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) charged Tuesday that the oil industry would be drilling for oil on the grounds of Washington's Monumental Mall if it could get away with it. Cranston's criticism was prompted by the testimony of Harry Morrison, vice president and general manager of the Western Oil and Gas in opposition to Cranston's bill to ban oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel. Morrison, testifying at the second day of hearings on the Cranston bill by a Senate interior subcommittee, said the channel's huge oil deposits are needed to meet the nation's "staggering demands" for oil. "We as a nation," Morrison said, "have no choice other than to continue to find and develop oil wherever it may be within our boundaries or under our adjacent waters." Questions Statement Cranston, during a subsequent round of questioning, seized on the remark and asked Morrison: "On reflecton, is that a statement you would like to modify?" "I don't think I'd like to modify it," Morrison replied.

"That's our assignment." He meant searching for oil and pumping it out. Cranston, who seemed taken aback by the reply, said that Morrison's attitude "explains the need for a government agency, for legislative and executive oversight to make sure that you don't interfere with the environment." "I'm glad," Cranston continued, "there's a government agency to prevent you from going after oil in the Mall." If there weren't you would do it." Morrison didn't exactly disagree with Cranston's remark about the Mall, the two-mile stretch of greensward lying between the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial. "I'm not saying -whether we would go after oil in the mall," Morrison replied. "We would not put up a rig there." Citing Los Angeles among others. Morrison said "We've gone after oil in many cities without interfering with the environment." Morrison and other oil industry witnesses insisted that because of safeguards now being taken the possibility of another oil well blowout in the Santa Barbara Channel is remote.

"We can say with certainty that there is a far greater probability of a major air disaster or a forest fire than a repetition of the events of Jan. 28," Morrison said in reference to the Union Oil Co. spillage. Supports Oil Drilling "And it is interesting to note that when the air disaster occurs we will not shut down the airlines. When forests burn they will be reseeded and not closed so should it be with the Santa Barbara Channel.

Operations should be allowed to resume." This argument was challenged by Dr. Robert Curry, an assistant professor of environmental science at the University of California at Santa Barbara. "Due to its geologic structure and nature, the outer continental shelf of the Santa Barbara Channel is not suitable for exploration and recovery of oil by existing techniques," Curry said. Opposition to further oil development in the channel also was expressed by George H. Clyde, a member of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.

Clyde denounced steps taken by Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel to prevent further oil leaks in the channel as "meaningless froth." "It was a sham," he said. Corruption in city government, with "city commissioners twisting arms for political contributions," is still the main issue in the current mayoral campaign, Councilman Thomas Bradley said Tuesday. Any time the mayor of the nation's third largest city raises almost $700,000 and never accounts for it, it challenges the credulity of the voters, he said. And it demands something more than flip answers, Bradley added.

The councilman, who is opposed by Mayor Sam Yorty on next Tuesday's mayoral election ballot, charged that in a series of so-called "birthday" dinners beginning in 1963, the mayor has raised almost of it designated as personal gifts to him and thus nontaxable and nonreportable. If this doesn't constitute a breach of public morality and raise serious questions about "integrity and honesty in government," Bradley in ZEMAN Bureau Chief Personnel Department officials estimate this will cost annually. Of this, eight county fire protection districts will pay and the county general fund $466,901. The minimum wage boost will affect 1,609 employes, mainly laundry and food service workers, hospital attendants and some clerks and typist clerks. It will cost annually.

Last year the county boosted the minimum wage from $355 to $385. Nesvig pointed out that the. national minimum wage is $1.60 an hour and California's is $1.65. The, new county minimum will be $2.40. By motion of Bonelli, the supervisors allotted $6,000 to pay county guards a shooting range bonus pay of $2 to $16 monthly, comparable to that paid deputy sheriffs.

Chace Lists Many Benefits In moving for general approval of Nesvig's other recommendations and rejecting extensive employe demands for fringe benefit and wage hikes, Chace pointed out that the county now provides a "fine" health insurance program, holiday and vacation pay and job security. Debs, however, warned that a year from now the county probably will have to enlarge its health insurance benefits. It now pays $8 of the monthly medical surgical hospital insurance premium for each employe. In other actions Tuesday the supervisors: Authorized acquisition of an El Monte civic center site for a structure to house nine municipal courts. Approved final plans for a county library at 4975 Overland Culver City, estimated to cost and ordered opening of con-' struction bids June 25.

Called for bids June 20 on four miles of storm drain in a Sherman Oaks complex, estimated at $2. million. Ordered bids opened Friday on $3 million storm drain facilities in the Norwalk-Downey-Santa Fe Springs area.

Tuesday, Principal a ri Ives said be believed the disturbance was "an outgrowth of pressures and tensions which have developed in the surroundings of the school He did not identify the pressures or groups involved.

But students and faculty members pointed to a series of disturbances most of them away from the school between black and anglo youths and, later, black and brown students. Witnesses said the incident in the cafeteria Tuesday started when two Negro" students got into a fight. When a Mexican-American cafeteria aide tried to break up the scuffle, the witnesses said, others joined the battle and the fight becam mostly between Negroes and Mexican-Americans. car, while others were more carefully placed. Each consisted of four to six sticks of dynamite.

The only clues were a piece of fuse from a similar explosion last week which caused $3,000 in damages to Central Presbyterian Church and an eyewitness' report of a Volkswagen bus driving away from one explosion Tuesday morning. After the blasts, Black Panther leader Bobby Seale and two New Left leaders Tom Hayden, a founder of the Students for a Democratic Society, and Reece Erlich, a Peace and Freedom Party organizer canceled a scheduled appearance at the university. John Froines, an assistant professor indicted with Seale and Haj den in connection with demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention last August, said the explosions, recent "hate letters" and threatening calls to Black Panthers and other activist groups represented "an increasing level of political repression."

Yorty has dismissed the whole affair as "ridiculous" and said Bradley's charges are "fairy tales." He said the funds raised went for "voter education" and political campaigns. Bradley said in a speech to TRW Systems employes in Redondo Beach that public records will substantiate his charges and will show that none of the fund-raising events was held during a political campaign.

He charged that Yorty-appointed commissioners have been exposed publicly as "twisting arms to collect contributions" to the mayor's fund. Five of Yorty's appointees already have been indicted on bribery and conflict-of-interest charges, Bradley said. Three have been convicted and two are awaiting trial, he said. "Four others had to resign under fire, and two more had to be transferred," he added. Please Turn to Page 23, Col.

Bradley "is certainly an honorable man, but he does not understand the threat," the mayor added. Again bringing up the case of Don Rothenberg, a Bradley campaign worker, Yorty repeated his charges denied by the Bradley camp that Rothenberg presided over a 1967 meeting which raised money for arming the Black Panthers. "Now why do we keep coming back to this one man?" Yorty asked. "Because this one man is symbolic of the naivete of my opponent, because he is the most dramatic of a whole group of people who sym- Please Turn to Page 22, Col.

About 2,500 of them many wearing black armbands were met shortly afternoon by armed police and guardsmen with bayonets at the ready near an intersection on the west edge of the campus. Police reminded them that rallies, marches and other assemblies were still banned under a proclamation of emergency that went into effect last week. Some youths scuffled briefly with police. As the confrontations seemed to escalate, authorities repeatedly used tear gas to disperse groups of young people. Shortly before 2 o'clock, a group of guardsmen and police all equipped with gas masks confronted chanting youths near Sather Gate.

Sing and Shout The crowd softly sang the "Star Spangled Banner," and then shouted "Sieg, Heil," as helicopters hovered overhead. Finally a helicopter made two passes over the central campus area, spraying white clouds of gas on a screaming crowd. "It looks like a crop duster," said a student as he ran for cover. Small skirmishes continued into the afternoon on and off the campus. Earlier in the day, the Berkeley City Council met to examine the question of the "people's park" the issue that set off the disturbances.

Demonstrators had occupied a lot, owned by the university, and transformed it into a park. The university ordered them off the lot last week and the turmoil began. The council voted to attempt to set up a similar park a few blocks away from the lot in contention. The body also decided to ask an Alameda County Grand Jury to investigate the means used to suppress and incite violence during the disturbances. The councilmen defeated resolutions calling for the guardsmen to remove or sheath their bayonets and a prohibition from carrying ammunition in their rifles.

Leader Surrenders Daniel M. Siegel, 23, the UC Berkeley student body presidentelect, turned himself in to authorities on campus after learning a warrant for inciting to riot had been issued against him. Siegel told a big crowd Thursday, "Let's go down and take over the park," shortly before the bloody rioting began. Siegel described himself as a "scapegoat" that authorities had found after the death of Rector. As of early Tuesday, there were 165 arrests and 70 reported injuries during the turmoil.

Among those arrested, was Frank Bardacke, 27, who was one of the "Oakland Seven" a group of anti-war protesters recently found innocent of conspiracy charges in connection with the 1967 induction center riots in Oakland. At the end of the day, UC Chancellor Heyns issued his first statement of the crisis, saying he deeply regretted the death of Rector. "At a moment like this like everyone else, am driven to ask what can be done to bring an end to the senseless violence that has produced not only this death but injuries to students, law enforcement officers and innocent bystanders." Gov. Reagan charges Berkeley riot was planned. See Page 23, Part 1.

Mayor Sam Yorty using a written text for the first time in his mayoral runoff campaign said in a speech Tuesday that he is better equipped to deal with militants than Councilman Thomas Bradley. "They mean business, and they have to be stopped," Yorty told several hundred employes of the Pacific Telephone Co. at the Los Angeles Hilton. "We have a record of achievement at stopping them "That's a real issue of this campaign. Who is going to be most effective in dealing with this organized militant element which wants to tear down our whole society? "Here's my record," Yorty said.

"Months ago, I wrote an analysis of the Students for a Democratic Society and its tactics. Our police have been extremely effective in keeping them off our streets in Los Angeles, in keeping them confined to discussions San Fernando High School was closed Tuesday afternoon after a fight involving several hundred Negro and Mexican-American students broke out in the school cafeteria. About 100 policemen stood by on tactical alert for an hour while students left the building and gradually drifted away. No arrests were made. One student reportedly suffered a minor cut on the nose.

Board of education officials said the school would be open today. However, the school's 120-member faculty association voted late Tuesday afternoon to urge parents to keep youngsters home "in the interests of their children's safety." In a statement issued after the school was closed at 1:45 p.m. JUBILANT OVER MARIJUANA VICTORY Oregon Saboteurs Dynamite Church, Bank, Other Buildings Become Psychedelic Governor Leary Bids to BY DIAL TORGERSON Timet StaH Writer Timothy Leary, claiming the legal endorsement of the U.S. Supreme Court and promising "rewards for veryone," jubilantly launched his campaign Tuesday to become California's first psychedelic governor. The oft-arrested ex-professor interpreted the high court rul'ng which freed him from marijuana charges as meaning that "the federal marijuana prohibition is as dead as the 18th Amendment." It is, he said, a turning point for an underground of 20 or 30 million marijuana users who would now be coming above ground "for a new period of joy." To celebrate it, he said, "we're going to start a party.

The final blast rocked Emerald Hall at the University of Oregon. Members of the 114-man police department in this city of 77,000 were placed on extra shifts as officers sought an explanation for the blasts which shattered windows and caused moderate damage to the five buildings.

No arrests were made and no one was questioned except possible witnesses, said Police Capt. William Smith. Officials refused to speculate on the reason or those responsible for the dynamitings. "It appears to have been someone in a hurry," said Smith. "Anyone who knows anything about dynamite could have done a more efficient job." He said some of the charges seemed to have been thrown from a the minorities, reward the police.
