Pickets Prevent Unloading of Ecuador Fruit at Long Beach Nearly 500 Union Members and Wives of Tuna Boat Fishermen Block Bananas to Launch Nationwide Boycott BY JERRY RUHLOW BY JERKY GILL AM Timet Staff writer SACRAMENTO A $2.5 billion bond issue to clean up California's polluted lakes and rivers was proposed Monday by Sen. Randolph Collier (D-Yreka). "It's the only thing that everyone is agreed should be done," said Collier, "and it can be done in five years." The state also could pick up another $2.5 billion in matching funds to help clean up its waterways under pending federal legislation if the bond issue is passed, according to Collier. The federal bill is sponsored -by Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie a leading 1972 Democratic presidential candidate. The bond issue, which would appear on next year's ballot, would specify the $2.5 billion be used-for planning, operation, research and development, construction, and maintenance of waste-water treatment works. Greyhound Bill Introduced The issue would be 10 times larger than the $250 million Proposition 1, a clean-water bond issue which received overwhelming voter approval last November. That measure authorized grants to local governments to construct sewer-treatment plants and other waste-disposal units.

Meanwhile, in other actions, a bill to authorize pari-mutuel betting on greyhound racing to raise money for schools was introduced in the Assembly. Its author, Assemblyman Walter W. Powers (D-Sacramento), estimated legalized limited greyhound racing could mean $14.9 million for additional school support the first year, and $35 million annually within three years. These figures are based upon projected attendance and wagering at 100-day meets in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and 30-day events in Orange, San Diego, Alameda, and Santa Clara counties, according to Powers. Similar greyhound racing bills have failed to pass the Legislature at past sessions.

This year, however, Assembly Democratic leaders have expressed interest in using new gambling revenues as a possible partial answer to the state's financial problems.

Teachers Unit Votes Down Strike SAN FRANCISCO ffi The San Francisco Classroom Teachers which claims to represent of the city's 4,600 public school teachers, voted Monday by a 6-1 margin against striking "at this time." The San Francisco Federation of Teachers, an AFL-CIO affiliate, voted last week by a 330-257 margin to strike Wednesday unless a contract dispute is settled by then. i.

James Ballard, president of oppo-sion Teacher Union Local 61, said no progress was made in negotiations Monday. "Unless there is some drastic change, the strike will begin Wednesday morning," Ballard added. He said the school district rejected union demands for reduced class sizes, longer preparation periods and pay increases of nearly $2,000 to bring top annual teaching salaries to $17,000. The CTA in separate negotiations is seeking a master agreement, including many of the same demands as the teachers' federation has made. Times Staff Nearly 500 pickets blocked the unloading of Ecuadorian bananas 'at the Port of Long Beach Monday in the start of a nationwide boycott of Ecuadorian products to protest that country's seizure of U.S.

tuna boats. VA Standard Fruit Steamship Co. spokesman denounced the action by union members and wives of fishermen as "totally unfair," and called for the use of "established procedures- for settling international disputes rather than involving innocent housewives and workers." The freighter Aldenburg, of German registry, carrying 101,000 boxes of bananas purchased from Ecuador for $300,000, was the site of the picketing, Longshoremen-and Teamsters-Union truck drivers and refused, to cross the picket lines because of what officials said was the "health and safety factor" involved. But they made no secret of sympathy: with the pickets, whose action is being sponsored in part by the unions. Steven Edney, of the United Cannery and Industrial Workers of the Pacific, an affiliate of the Seafarers International Union, said the boycott coordinating committee is "also looking for ship3 with other Ecuadorian products such as cocoa, Panama hats, fishmeal and canned fish, in addition to banana shipments.

"If' the companies try to ship through Gulf Coast ports, such as Gulfport, where Standard has a dock, we have been promised union support there to block unload-ings," said John Royal, secretary of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen'3 Union Local 33. Standard Vice President Bob Heintz said that "while the U.S. tuna fleet continues to fish, and our government pays their fines (imposed by Ecuador for alleged illegal fishing in Ecuadorian waters), the boycott could have serious financial effect on thousands of Americans engaged in, importing Ecuadorian products."

Richardson of Arcadia abruptly resigned as GOP caucus chairman Monday after failing to win immediate party support in his efforts to save the Senate's subcommittee on un-American activities. Richardson, a subcommittee member, had asked his colleagues for a strong' statement in support of the un-American activities group. But the caucus which is the formal organization of all GOP senators decided withhold action until the powerful Senate Rules Committee makes a decision regarding abo- lition. i'J-" Richardson, a strong conservative, told newsmen after' the closed-door caucus meeting that his1 resignation was only partly connected to Monday's caucus Inhibited by Leadership Role He said he wanted to act more aggressively in a number of areas, but felt himself inhibited, by his leadership role. "As" chairman," he explained, "I can't go around making statements I believe in strongly with the implication that that is the thought of the caucus." Richardson said, for instance, that he wanted to oppose provisions of Gov.

Reagan's welfare proposals and of President Nixon's revenue sharing plan, but felt he could not as a party leader. The un-American activities subcommittee was threatened with abolition last Thursday by Senate President Pro Tern James R. Mills of San Diego, who disclosed that the group had been keeping files on persons, including legislators. Richardson has said that Mills can be thwarted, only by a major public protest.

So fair this year, the Ecuadorian navy has captured 25 American fishing boats inside Ecuador's 200-mile territorial limits, and fined them a total of $L2 million. The United States and most other countries recognize a territorial limit of only 12 American Tunaboat Assn. officials said the U.S. State Department has them not to buy fishing licenses for fishing any place outside of a 12-mile limit off Ecuador because to do so would jeopardize U.S. foreign policy regarding the high seas.

3 Nations Vow Unify in Fishing Dispute LIMA, Peru Wr The foreign ministers of Ecuador, Peru and Chile announced Monday their nations will stand united before any threat of reprisal raised by legal action against fishing vessels found operating illegally, in their territorial waters. The statement of solidarity was issued, the ministers said, in view of "the situation created by the illegal fishing of U.S.-Flag tuna boats in Ecuadorian territorial waters." Since Jan. 11, Ecuadorian authorities have seized 24 U.S. tuna clippers, one of them twice, and accused them of fishing without licenses inside Ecuador's 200-mile territorial sea limit. The U.S.

boats all were released after payment of fines and fees which totaled more than $1 million. Please Turn to Page 24, Col. 1 S.F. CELLS As a custody case, said Conroy, the person is given credit for time served and, in most cases, the fine is dismissed completely. "It's the fastest hundred and 50 bucks a guy ever made," said Conroy.

The precise amount served, he said, is never mentioned in court, only that the person is in custody and that he is a prisoner. "They usually start showing up around 11-o'clock Sunday, said officer Larry Piol. "They come in early to wait, because they're worried that if there's a line they won't get booked by midnight." Conroy said most of the citizens who give themselves up in an attempt to have the fines dismissed hear of the gimmick through "the grapevine." The captain said, "I have person nally advised friends of mine with outstanding warrants to surrender themselves." (In Los Angeles, a City Jail spokesman said he was unaware of any such practice. In the last six months, he said, he could not recall a single instance of any person voluntarily turning himself in on a traffic warrant.) Below, for to a San Francisco BREAKS SILENCE 1 7-PI us Victims Claimed in Letter by Zodiac Killer BY DAVE SMITH Time Stiff Writer California's long-silent Zodiac killer made another bid for public attention Monday, claiming that he has murdered in Southern California and saying that his victims now total "17." The letter the. Zodiac's first to The Times was mailed Saturday afternoon or evening from Pleasan-ton, about 50 miles southeast "of San Francisco, where all of his previous letters had been mailed.

The publicity-hungry killer explained: "The reason that I'm writing to the Times is this, they don't bury me on the back pages like some of the others." The letter, messily printed with a by now familiar blue felt tipped pen, bore the Zodiac's equally familiar symbol a circle divided in four parts by, a cross. It also contained his familiar misspellings. John J. Harris, a questioned-doc-uments examiner, compared the letter with earlier samples of the Zodiac's writing and confirmed that it was from the crazed killer whose inexplicable murders-at-random now reach back as far as October, 1966, in Riverside. Steadily Escalates Claim Although police have definitely attributed only five murders to the Zodiac, the killer himself has steadily escalated the claim in a series of letters, first to the San Francisco Chronicle and now The Times.

His last letter asserted, he had murdered 14 people. The Riverside case, which day's letter appeared to claim as the Zodiac's work, would raise the known total to at least six. As in the earlier letters, the Zodiac taunted police for not having caught him yet. His brief note read: "This is the Zodiac speaking. Like I have always said, I am crack proof.

If the Blue Meanies are ever going to catch me, they had best do something. Because the longer they fiddle around, the more slaves I will collect for iny afterlife. I do have to give them credit for stumbling across my Riverside activity, but they are only finding the easy ones, there are a hell of a lot more down there. The reason that I'm writing to The Times is this, they don't bury me on the back page3 like some of the others." The letter concluded like several past letters, with a box score showing himself ahead of police "SFPD 0 (Zodiac symbol) 17 Please Turn to Page 24, Col. 1 STORM MAY DROP RAIN WEDNESDAY A rain -bearing storm system moved toward the Central California coast late Monday and forecasters predicted a 20 chance of rain here Wednesday.

The National Weather Service said temperatures will remain relatively high today, however, and skies will be mostly sunny until late afternoon. Forecaster Don Gales said the st6rm system, about 1,200 miles off the coast late Monday, could either swing northeastward or stall, eliminating the probability of rain for Southern California. But if it continues on its present track, chances of rain will increase for Wednesday, he said. A Los Angeles Civic Center high of 77 degrees was forecast for today, dropping to 65 Wednesday. Monday's high was 75, reached at 5 p.m.
