Turner, Meanwhile, a convict serving time for assault with' a deadly weapon and escape was identified as the suspected slayer, i He is Jeffrey Patrick Gaulden, 25, 1 of San" Diego, described by prison officials as "a problem inmate with a long disciplinary record." Gaulden is black; Turner was white.

John Moore, an administrative assistant to Warden Walter E. Craven, said no confrontation led up to the assault and "apparently it was without provocation. To our knowl- it was an isolated incident." Other Violence Nevertheless, officials were taking no chances, chiefly because of the vi-. olence which swept San Quentin Prison a month ago and the Attica State correctional facility in New York earlier this week. "We have newspapers coming in.

We have television here and radios," Moore, said. "It's definitely no secret as to the happenings at San Quentin last month and recent happenings back East.1; A general lockup of all prisoners also continued Friday. "We were in a normal routine up to yesterday's incident," Moore said. "We were not uptight at all. There no forewarning of this." Gaulden, who was transferred Friday to Devel Vocational Institute in Tracy "for his own protection," had been at Folsom since September of last year, except for 10 days at San Quentin.

Arrested in 1967 He was arrested in 1967 for assault with a deadly weapon in San Diego County but escaped from the Cali-. fornia Institute for Men at Chino in April, 1968. He was captured and returned to prison in August of that year. The weapon believed used in the murder, a 10-inch piece of flat metal about an inch wide, was found on the ledge of a wall adjacent to the laundry building where Turner was killedlt was stained with blood. Turner, father of four small children, was attacked in a small room where sheets and towels are sorted.

He was stabbed several times in the chest and once in the leg. He had worked at the prison since December. 1969. "1 think it was a matter of convenience because he was the man who was there at the time," the den said. A second employe was outside the room at the time.

33 Have Been Slain Since January, 1970, 33 persons, Including inmates and employes, have met violent deaths in California's 13 state prisons. Ironically, Folsom, which houses 1,730 prisoners and has a reputation as the "toughest, strictest, tightest." prison in the state system, had not had a murder since 1937. In that year, Warden Clarence Larkin and a correctional officer were killed during an attempted mas3 break. 70s, Planners Say BY TOM GOFF Tim Sacrammts Bureau Chief SACRAMENTO State population experts predicted Friday that a new surge of migration into California would begin in the last half of this decade, swelling the state's population to 32.3 million by the year 2000. The most significant growth, state Finance Director Verne Orr said, should occur in already populous Ventura, Orange, San Diego and Santa Barbara counties in the south and Santa Cruz, Solano and Sonoma in the north.

Each is expected to at least double in size except Ventura County, which should more than triple it present population of 376,200 to 1.2 million by the turn of the century. Highest Growth Rate Ventura's predicted growth rate of 230 is the highest for any part of the state. Los Angeles County, which bore the brunt of the post-World War II migration into California, is expected to grow another 37.4 to a total of 9.6 million by the time the new century begins. And some predominantly rural counties such as Mono, Napa and Yolo will experience unprecendent-ed population growth. Mono County's tiny population of 4.100 will more than triple to 13,100, the population forecasters said.

Napa County, known now for its vineyards and fine wines, is expected to grow 142 to a population of 192.500, and Yolo County faces a 110 increase to 104,200. The figures prepared by the Department of Finance as an aid to future state and local planning reflect only civilian population. An estimated 300,000 military personnel can be added to the statewide total, Orr said. Sharp Rise Seen The growth figures are based primarily on the belief by state demographers tha the net migration rate into the state will rise from the 1970-71 low of 2C.000 persons to 100,000 a vear by 1974-75 and maintain a steady 150,000 a year for the final 20 years of the century. They offered no explanation for this predicted new surge in migration, which has been steadily declining from a high net of 356,000 in 1062-63.

The report said it was just an assumption. "An alternative assumption of no change in the present level of migration would result, in a population drop of 2.5 million to 3 million in the state by 2000," the report added. Other Assumptions Two other assumptions also figure in the calculations: That there will be no significant change in the mortality rate for the balance of the century and that the average woman will bear 2.45 children during her lifetime. This type of birthrate, the experts said, is "considerably above the 2.1 children per woman required for the eventual attainment of zero population growth. But, they said, it is less than the nearly three births per woman that recent attitude surveys suggest.

Orr said his department's figures should not be considered hardline predictions of the future and urged local planning officials who might use them to test their validity against local information. SURPRISE When Kent Twitchell received permission to point "star" on side of house at 1151 Union owners thought he meant celestial type and were surprised by portrait of actor Steve McQueen. Project took Twitchell, advanced art student at Cal State Los Angeles, two weeks to do. Times photo by John Malmin FOUR MONTHS OF PURE ANGUISH The Baby Who Wouldn't Die Goes Home to Begin New Life PART II SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 1971 Karenga Sentenced to l-fo-10 Years for Torturing Woman BY RON EINSTOSS Times Staff Writer Black nationalist Ron Karenga was sentenced Friday to one to 10 years in state prison for feloniously assaulting a young woman who said she was tortured because Karenga feared she was trying to poison him.

Superior Judge Arthur L. Alarcon rejected a request by Karenga's attorney, Richard A. Walton, to set bail so Karenga can be free pending a decision on his planned appeal. The judge refused the bail motion, he said, because reports submitted to the court indicated that Karenga mav be mentally ill. Karenga was convicted four months ago along with three of his followers of the May, 1970, assault on Deborah Jones, 20, who at the time was a member of the defendant's once influential US organization.

The three were acquitted of attacking another young woman. Walton sought a probationary sentence but Dep. Dist. Atty. Roger Kelly, suggesting that Karenga wa3 a "behavioral" menace to society, urged either a prison term or return to a State Department of Corrections facility for further psychiatric evaluation.

Karenga was committed for such a presentencing examination but was sent back to court in July with the recommendation that he needed long custodial treatment in prison. The state report described his behavior as "irrational and bizarre" and it said he appeared to "confused and not in contact with reality." After Karenga's return to court, Alarcon appointed two psychiatrists to examine Karenga and both reported, according to Walton, that the black leader had no emotional disturbances and was not a menace. Missing Coed Safe; Calls From Mexico A missing Los Angeles City College coed was reported safe Friday after she telephoned her parents from Mexico City to say she had gone there voluntarily with a former neighbor, police said. Helen Maria Thomas, 17, disappeared five days ago after driving her car to college, and attending a morning class. Her father, William Tsekouras, 1053 S.

Fedora told police he was making arrangements for her to fly from Mexico City to Los Angeles.1 Police said they were told she accompanied the former neighbor, Mexican national, to Mexico City but then decided she wanted to return home. HAGER Writer Barca gave the following account of the assault here Aug. 28: The twro suspects pulled up in an auto next to a patrol car that had paused at a stop sign in the Mission District about 1 a.m. One of the men pointed the submachine gun at the driver of the police car, Sgt. George Kowalski, but the weapon misfired.

Kowalski ducked to the floor of the patrol car. The assailants' vehicle sped off, with Kowalski in pursuit, and then crashed into another car, several blocks away. By then, two other of fi cers had joined in the chase and in an exchange of gunfire one of the suspects. Bottom, was wounded in the neck and leg. Besides the submachine gun and the revolver, police also took a mil tary rifle from the suspects, they Barca told reporters here at a mid-morning news conference, "We're not saying that Bottom and Johnson did the shooting in New York on May 21.

The only connection we know of so far is tha weapon lv-longed to tha New York officer." cc BY EVAN' MAXWELL Tim Slafl Writer Slain N.Y. Officer's Revolver Taken From 2 Suspects in S.F. Candidate Unable ,0 pay Fee Can Stj Dlin ll .0 DllQf SAN FRANCISCO ID A federal judge ruled Friday that any candidate who is unable to pay the filing fee in a city election does not have to pay it. U.S. Dist.

Judge Albert C. Wollen-herg said it was illegal for the registrar to refuse to file candidacy papers because the candidate was unable to pay. The suit was brought by three San Francisco City College students. Michael Kim Wong tried to file for supervisor but was refused when he was unable to pay the $192 filing fee, 2 of a supervisor's annual salary. Nathan Weinstein was turned down on grounds he was unable to pay the $So2 fee for the mayor's race.

A third student, Kristina O' 1 1 joined the suit on grounds she wanted to vote for the pair. Wollenberg did not outline the conditions for excusing the fee payments. He said only that a candidate must attest to the registrar that he is unable to pay. "The proposition that every serious candidate will be able to pay the fee required cannot be accepted without question," Wollenberg said. The students had argued that their rights to equal protection under the l4Lh Amendment were violated.

They said they were illegally prevented from running for office and voting for the candidate of their choice solely because of inability to pay a filing fee. Blaze Rages in Sequoia Forest EKluilvt Th Timtt from Stall Wnltr PoflTERVILLE A brush and limber fire started by lightning burned out of control in a rugged, nearly inaccessible area of Sequoia National Forest Friday after blackening more than 4 IS acres. U.S. Forest Service officials said the blaze was burning in a primitive area about G() air miles northeast of Porterville, about one-half mile west of Kings Canyon National Park. Six aerial tankers were battling the flames.

More than 400 men were airlifted to the fira lines by Forest Service helicopters. Off-Duty Guards Picket Chino; Leniency to Prisoners Charged "There were Just too many times when the doctor said he wasn't going to make it," she said. "There were just too many times he didn't have a chance." Four operations, two devastating diseases, surgical complications, dozens of transfusions and weeks of Iwing fed through a plastic tube those are some of the tjings that stood between his birth three months prematurely on May 15 and his homecoming Thursday. Pat White had already, suffered three miscarriages, two of them in the sixth month of pregnane', when on Mothers Day, May 0, she went into labor while on a fishing trip near Lodi. Again, it was her sixth month, and, she said, "I had no hope at all." Doctors at a Lodi hospital arrested her labor with morphine for six hours and then, discovering that Ty was positioned in the womb in such a way that a Caesarean delivery was necessary, they transferred her to a Sacramento hospital.

Doctors Hall Labor Again, doctors arrested s. White's labor for five days, during which time she was transferred by airplane to Long Beach. Finally, on May 13, Ty would wait no longer. He weighed 3 pounds, 2 ounces, when he was born, and he lost several of those ounces in the next few days. The odds of his survival were slim from the beginning, and they shrank rapidly almost immediately.

First he suffered respiratory digestive problems that were finally diagnosed as "acute enterocolitis," severe inflammation of the intestines and colon. "The doctors who worked on him tried to find something in the textbooks about how to treat it, but they couldn't" she said. "All the other babies who had it had died." Surgery was needed, but then the doctors discovered that Ty was unable to produce platelets, crucial factors in blood clotting. Exploratory surgery was Undertaken anyway, but as Ty began to recover, his platelet level dropped dangerously. Tlease Turn io Back face, Col.

1 By all standards, Ty White should be dead. Six times in his four short months of life, Ty slipped to the brink of death. Each time he had a 10 chance of living, and each time he came back. Friday he even managed a lopsided grimace that looked like a smile, a smile that was returned with joy by his mother, Mrs. James White of Westminster.

"I guess he hasn't realized yet that he has a lot to smile about," she said. "Or maybe it is that he hasn't had much to smile about up to now." Mrs. White, too. has some smilin? to catch up on. The four months since Ty was born in Memorial Hospital Medical Center in Long Beach have been pure anguish.

Technically," there was no strike because only off-duty guards and their wives took part. There was no work stoppage at CIM, which houses 1,000 inmates. John Booth, one of half a dozen pickets who appeared outside the gate, said Local 960 represents about 110 members of the 315-man guard staff. Altogether, guards and staff at CIM number about 700. Two other employee associations represent other Chino workers.

Neither took part in the action Friday. The picket line came a day after a group of guards presented what they called a list of nine demands V) newly named Supt. Bertram Griggs. None related to working conditions or wages. All concerned prison handling of inmates and recent instances of what correctional officers considered abuse of guards, mainly verbal.

Much of the guard protest relates to what officers see as crowing strength of militant black and Chi- cano organizations inside the Insti- lution. Guards want the groups broken up and "ringleaders sent to lighter prisons. BY PHILIP Tlmti Staff SAN FRANCISCO Police here have recovered a revolver reported taken from a New York officer slain by gunmen last May 21, they said Friday. The weapon was in the possession of two San Francisco men attempting to kill a policeman here with a submachine gun Aug. 28, according to Capt.

Charles Barca, chief of inspectors. The two suspects, Anthony Bottom, 13, and Robert Johnson, 21, are being held in lieu of $50,000 bail on charges of attempted murder and felony possession of an automatic weapon. Capt. Barca said the revolver had belonged to Joseph A. Piagentini, a New York patrolman who died after being hit in the neck by eight bullets.

His partner, Waver-ly M. Jones, was killed by a bullet in the head. The incident on May 21 followed by two days the wounding of two other New York officers by an assailant with a lubmachine gun in a passing car. Off-duty guards at the California Institution for Men at Chino threw a picket line across the main gate ly Friday, protesting what spokesmen termed lenient treatment of prisoners. The protesting members of California Correctional Officers, Teamsters Local OGO, made no reference in complaints to CIM officials to recent prison violence at San Quentin and Attica, N.Y.

"But it was certainly on their minds," one official said. In San Francisco, officials at Local 060, which claims to represent guards at 13 state institutions, said as far as the union was concerned, the guards' action was "unsanctioned."
