May Act on Strike ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, 111. A The Ford Administration took the opening steps today toward forcing a halt to a two-day- old nationwide strike of Teamster truck drivers that has already resulted in industrial layoffs. Meantime, sources close to both sides said bargainers were "very close" tp agreement on a total eco- nomic package, but disagreement on how the money package should be distributed remained to be settled. Negotiations resumed at a EST today. The Ford administration, taking no chances on the possibility the strike could hamper the nation's economic recovery, today started preparations in Washington to invoke the a a Act against the strike.

Presidential assistant L. i i a Seidman asked several government agencies to prepare reports on the economic impact of the i a i i a i sources said. The reports, to be returned to the White House by noon Saturday, would be needed if Presi- dent Ford asked for a court injunction under the act to stop the walkout. However, sources said it would probably be Tuesday at the earliest before the government could go into court. The move was seen as an effort by the government to put a on union and industry negotia- (See Page 8, Column 3) Green Oaks Ranch Preservation Sought A recommendation that the county seek to have historic Green Oaks Ranch situated on the South San Mateo County Coastside included in the National Trust for Historic Preservation and have it declared a a a a was adopted Thursday by the County Parks and Recreation Commission.

The 13-acre a including the Issac Steelc house built in 1863, was deeded to the county in 1967 by a Steele heir. Catherine B. Steele, with the conditions that the house and gardens were to be restored and operated as a house museum and the surrounding land be developed into recreational area. However, because of the a i a a i a improvement costs entailed in complying with the deed conditions, the county suggested alternate proposals an experiemental garden on the property or development of a vouth hostel i were rejected by Mrs. Steele.

Last November. County Manager M.D. Tarshes recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the county quit claim the property to Mrs. Steele. This prompted an effort on the part of the board to save the property for the county.

Supervisors John M. Ward and Edward J. Bacciocco were delegated a committee of two to meet with Mrs. Steelc State Jobless Rate Remains at 9.5 Pet. SACRAMENTO (DPI) California unemployment remained at 9.5 per cent in March, halting a six-month decline in the jobless rate, the state said today.

The total number of persons out of was 982.400, compared with slightly more than 1 million in February. In March, 8.5 million persons a increase of 61,700 from February. But the influx in the number of jobseekers resulted in the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate holding steady. The national unemployment rale continued its decline, dropping slightly to 7.5 per cent, while the number of workers with jobs hit a record high.

The a i i a jobless rate last March was 9.2 per cent and hit a peak of 10.5 per cent last September. The department said all major i i a groups showed employment gains in March.

In downtown San Francisco, sabotage snarled traffic already clogged by commuters forced to drive because of the three-day of i i a transportation in the dispute over proposed pay cuts. At the airport, strikers roamed from one airline freight facility to another, attempting to block access roads with their autos or bodies. Ordered by police to move from a United Airlines facility, the estimated 100 pickets took their protest to the Pan American freight area. Most of the airport dist a was believed caused by members of the Teamsters, on strike in a national contract dispute.

In addition, the city workers were picketing airport terminals. The a i has been without heat or hot water since 2,000 city workers walked out in a wage dispute Tuesday. Other members of the i i a force honored the pickets and left buses and cable cars idle -forcing 250,000 San Franciscans who normally ride public tcansport to drive, pedal, hitchhike or walk to work. No face-to-face negotiations have been scheduled between the striking city unions and the Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Robert Mendelsohn said the majority of city workers are on the job.

Tarshes said today that at least $10 million will be needed from property taxes in 1976-77, over and above any additional amounts needed to finance the effect of inflation on current levels of service and to replace declining state and federal revenues in man- a a i programs. Based on the county's present assessed valuation, it would require 37 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to raise $10 million. One cent on the tax rate raises $272,000. Tarshes attributes the a outlook to three major factors: A reduction in interest earnings on invested county funds. A reduction in the year-end general fund balance.

WASHINGTON (UFIj The nation's unemployment rate continued its steady decline in March dropping slightly to 7.5 per cent while the total number of persons who held jobs hit an a i i of 86.7 million, the Labor Department reported today. The March drop of 0.1 per cent capped a steady live-month decline from 86 per cent last October the a i since 1962.

It also brought unemployment to its lowest level In more than a year. But the overall improvement of 1.4 per cent since the recession peak last May appeared weaker than in most previous economic recoveries. A Bureau of Labor Statistics economist noted that while the recent 10-month decline was more dramatic than the recovery period in 1971, it compared unfavorably to economic recoveries in 1961, 1938 and 1954. i a i although not as dramatic as in some past recoveries, prompted President Ford's economic advisers to predict that unemployment will dip below 7 per cent by the end of this year. A total of 7 million persons were unemployed in March, a decrease of about 100.000 from February.

Total employment, meanwhile, increased by 375.000 to 86.7 million an all- time high. The a unemployment rate was the lowest i 1974, when it stood at 7.2 per cent.
