An acquaintance said she told him days before the shootingst "I'll call you Monday night (Jan. 29) if it doesn't come off. If it does, you'll know about it because it will be all over TV." Greek Festival Set Saturdayand Sunday at the Fairgrounds A festival featuring Greek art, music, dancing and cooking will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Don Diego room and paddock area of the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The quote about Mondays was soon to form the basis for a controversial song by the Irish rock group, the Boomtown which is scheduled for release by Columbia Records this week. For three hours, police negotiator Paul Olson tried to persuade the teenager to surrender.

She finally did so, six hours after the shooting began. Police found in her home a semiautomatic rifle and about 40 expended shells. The rifle was equipped with a telescopic sight The girl's defense attorneys, first Robert Butler and later McGlinn, had said repeatedly that Miss Spencer was emotionally and mentally sick. In defense efforts to have Miss Spencer tried as a juvenile, McGlinn had her undergo psychiatric testing by two doctors. Both concluded she was mentally ill.

Dr. Thomas Rodgers described Miss Spencer as a "sick adolescent" Her personality, Rodgers said, "is such that a combination of her youth, her rigid naivete and her frail physical stature would make her a target for physical and sexual abuse in the adult prison system." Despite McGlinn's efforts, Miss Spencer was ruled fit for trial as an adult, a decision eventually upheld by the California Supreme Court Meanwhile, it was learned that Miss Spencer apparently unknown to either herself or her parents has epilepsy. The nervous disorder never was cited as a reason for the shootings, but McGlinn said it proved she needed the type of medical treatment she could not expect if sent to state prison. Since the discovery, she has been taking daily doses of Dilantin to control seizures. Continued from First Page accompanied by the Special Weapons and Tactics team.

The children inside Cleveland Elementary were escorted to the auditorium and told to keep low and quiet Officer Robert Robb was one of the first on the scene and was struck in the neck but his wound was not serious. The sniper's line of fire was Interrupted minutes later when a trash disposal truck was driven between her house and the school The truck served as a shield for officers to move wounded children to safety and eventually to area hospitals, where most were treated and released. Students wounded in the attack were Mary Clark, Crystal Hardy, 10; Audry Stites, Cam Miller, Julie Robles, 10; Craig Verner, Monica Selvig, 9, and Christy Buell, 9. The Buell girl was the most seriously hurt sustaining a bullet wound in the abdomen. When police pinpointed the sniper's Esition as the Spencer home, Spencer was reached by police at San Diego State University, where he worked in the audio-visual department Officers still did not know the identity of the sniper.

Spencer arrived and telephone contact was made to his home shortly afterward. Miss Spencer answered and then hung up. But two San Diego Evening Tribune reporters, Steve Wiegand and Gus Stevens, who had been calling homes in the area, kept her on the telephone for several minutes. Miss Spencer reportedly told the reporters that she had ambushed the children because "I don't like Mon LISTENING TO PLEA-Brenda Spencer's par-ents, Wallace and Dorothy Spencer, attended court session guilty pleas in FIRE CHIEF'S SON ASSAILED FOR HANDLING OF DISASTROUS BLAZE VOTING Continued from First Page rush home from the Charger game or the Cabrillo Festival to call the number right then anyway.

"It was a huge fire," Clayton said. "I've been in the business for 21 years, and I'd never seen a faster-moving fire. In one hour it consumed 4,000 acres. That's a football field every second." The temperature that day was 105 degrees, with humidity a dangerously low 18. The wind was blowing at 15 miles an hour with local windstorms of up to 30 m.p.h.

created by the fire itself, Clayton said. "We sent a massive amount of equipment to the fire, to the point that some people may have thought was overkill," Clayton said. "If we hadn't madehat commitment so early, we would have lost at least 70 other major dwellings," Clayton contended. "And that's a conservative estimate. I can identify on a map what houses would have burned." As it was, seven homes the four on Circo Digueno and three more near Black Mountain were lost in addition to 20 outbuildings and 20 vehicles.

Clayton, who will make a presentation to the Rancho Santa Fe fire board tonight, said he could not comment on the job Peter Fox performed that day. "Fox's strategy was up to him," Clayton said. "He was just one small part of the total fire. But I saw his men from the air, and they were working their butts off. "It's easy to criticize, but I've lost houses on fires before when I thought I did the best I could with what I had" Clayton said.

William Kent, acting chief of the San Diego Fire Department the day of the fire and who has since retired, agreed with Clayton. "There are times, no matter how much help you have, you are still going to lose property under those kinds of conditions especially when you're dealing with houses that are surrounded by brush and you have a strong Santa Ana wind blowing. "No matter how many men you have, you're going to lose a house," Kent said. 6147 El Cajon EHvd. 714582-1717 TIK 0LLE2 6603 El Cajon EH.

286-1455 AMITYVILIE Continued from First Page Besides the six from his own department, help came from Del Mar (which sent three trucks on its own to Fox's aid), Encinitas (which sent two trucks to Fox at his request), and three trucks from the Solana Beach Fire Department (which also operates under Fox's command). Basic criticism of the younger Fox centers on whether he followed county wide procedures in asking for help. The county's mutual aid pact calls for an embattled department to call its zone coordinator (in this case, the Encinitas department) for help. If the zone coordinator cannot supply help, he is to call the San Diego Fire Department the countywide coordinator for help. McCarver said that because Fox never asked him for help, he never in turn asked San Diego city firemen to help fight the fire on the Rancho Santa Fe front McCarver said Fox asked the Encinitas department to send one truck to help him.

A few minutes later, Encinitas offered to send a second truck and Fox, through a dispatcher, accepted. A mutual aid request from Fox would have gotten a greater response in terms of equipment, McCarver said. But that request never came. Instead, the local department called Fallbrook the mutual aid coordinator for inland North County for help. That request was turned down, according to Fallbrook dispatcher Tom Coughran, who said Fox was urged "to go through his zone coordinator." As it turned out, Fallbrook did respond to the fire after getting an official request for help from the San Diego Fire Department, which was coordinating the countywide mutual aid task force.

Del Mar Fire Chief Bill Tripp said he sent three units to the. Rancho Santa Fe fire front "on our own. We figured we'd help him (Fox) out, so we could help put the fire out before it got to us." Tripp said a fire chief can run the risk of being "an independent thinker" instead of following accepted guidelines in asking for help. "If what you decide doesn't work, though, you have to be prepared to defend (your thinking). If you go by standard (mutual aid) procedures and they don't work.

at least you have something to fall back on in your defense." San Diego city fire officials say they assumed their help was not needed in the Rancho Santa Fe area the fire's northern front "We assumed that as the fire approached. Rancho Santa Fe, they'd be involved (in fighting it) and they'd let us know if they needed any help over there," said Acting Asst Chief Don Famey. That is not to suggest, however, 'We assumed they'd let us know if they needed any help that more firemen on the line could have saved the homes from the fast-moving blaze. The fire broke out just after noon on Black Mountain, 5 miles east of Rancho Santa Fe. Because it was a hot day with a strong Santa Ana wind blowing from the east Rancho Santa Fe off-duty firemen were alerted by their station at 9 a.m.

to stay home that day in case they were needed, Chief Fox said. When the fire broke out Fox said, his firemen drove toward the blaze, determined it to be within San Diego's city limits and notified the city's fire headquarters of the blaze. Minutes later, the California Department of Forestry began dispatching equipment to the blaze to assist San Diego firemen. Rancho Santa Fe, after making its initial call to the San Diego department also called the CDF to ask for help. "But we had already dispatched 21 companies to the fire within three minutes and we told Fox we were already committed on the fire," said CDF operations chief Bill Clayton, HORROR JEHNIFES RICH KISS AlanAMa KiUCTIM OF JOE TYNAN ROCKY HAAS TIMES Chicano Unit Wins Antiracism Grant NATIONAL CITY The World Council of Churches controversial Special Fund to Combat Racism has awarded a $10,000 grant to a National City Chicano organization, it was announced Monday in Geneva.

The money will go to Immigration Advocacy for educating Chicanos "on the issue of undocumented aliens and to resist police brutality." The WCC said the grant will be used for general support Set up in 1969 and often criticized by member churches the special fund is financed by gifts from churches, groups and individuals and the governments of Sweden, Norway and The Netherlands. There was widespread opposition last year to an $85,000 grant to black liberation groups and the Patriotic Front guerrilla alliance fighting the government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia which the dissidents call a facade for continued white minority rule. Critics said that guerrillas had been blamed for massacres of missionaries in that African nation. The WCC's policy-making central committee, representing 293 Protestant and Orthodox denominations totaling about 400 million Christians around the world, later set up restraints that give members more control. The $10,000 grant to the National City group is part of $349,000 in funds distributed this year by the special fund.
