a--Son Motto THE TIMES Sailor Is Suspect in Coed Death SAN DIEGO (AP) A sailor was in custody today in the murder of an 18-year- old coed found strangled and stabbed in her dormitory room at San Diego State University. Ellis Lee Handy 21, was booked Tuesday night for investigation of murder, police said. The partly clad body of Tanya Gardini of the northern California community of Walnut Creek, near Berkeley, was discovered Monday night when her roommate returned from a Thanksgiving holiday trip home. A red sweatshirt was all the slain girl wore. Despite stab wounds on the body.

Deputy Coroner Dave Stark said an a showed Miss Gardini died of strangulation. The killing apparently took place soon after she returned Sunday from a trip to Walnut Creek to Zura Hall, where 600 male and women students i in separated areas. Police Lt. Ed Stevens said Handy had friends at the dorm and apparently knew Miss Gardini. A resident manager of Zura Hall said visitors may come and go at any hour.

A a a majoring in social work, Miss Gardini was to have been initiated tonight in the Little Sisters auxiliary of Sigma Phi Epsilon men's fraternity along with her roommate, Sandra Quinly. "She was one of those allAmerican tvpes and intelligent," said" a coed who knew Miss Gardini. In Walnut Creek, she was head cheerleader last year as a high school senior and chosen Winter Carnival Princess. Miss Gardini's stepfather, hair stylist David Duarte, and her mother, Yvonne, live in Walnut Creek. The Navy said Handy, a black seaman, was taken from work at the 32nd Street Naval Station.

Monitors Asked in Health Study A recommendation that an ad hoc committee appointed jointly by the Fair Oaks Community Center Board of Directors and by the East Palo Alto Municipal Council be assigned the task of reviewing and monitoring the decentralized health care demonstration project is i a to the County Board of Supervisors by the Board of Health and Welfare. A letter to that effect was approved Tuesday night by three of the latter board's members at a meeting in San Mateo.

County Opposes New Legislation Opposition to implementa- inches i of state i a i required, which County Director of Bandit a a a a George Pickett contends imposes unrealistic standards on community care facilities was voted Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors. "There are too many regulations in the handbook," Pickett told the board. He said there is "considerable controversy and confusion" about the' intent and impact of the standards on nursing and other care homes.

"We don't oppose standards," Pickett stated, "but we're looking for reasonableness." The health and welfare director said that there is "considerable concern" over sections of the legislation (AB 2262) which pertains to foster care facilities. He said the regulations may be too restrictive and decrease the supply of potential providers, forcing the i to i i expensive and specialized facilities. Pickett noted that the regulations are "highly technical." He cited an example wherein a home for a neglected child might be found to be quite satisfactory, but the ceiling of the house is The Times is the official newspaper ot the City of San Mateo and the County ol San Mateo.

Seated in the accounting room were M. McDermott, 46, of San Francisco, and two women, both hotel auditors The bandit advised the younger auditor, 27, "Don't move. Don't pull any alarm or I'll have to shoot somebody. "I'm clam and I don't want to shoot." He told her to "get the money."

"I'm taking this guy with me: and if you call the police within five minutes, he'll be dead." he announced. He grabbed McDermott by thearm and began pushing him from the office through the desk area and into the main lobby. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to discuss the recommendation at its Dec. 10 meeting at 2:15 p.m. LaDou noted in the letter that the Board of Health and Welfare had submiited a detailed description of the demonstration project to 15 i suggestions prior to drafting its recommendation.

It was decided, La Dou said, "that a community organization in close harmony with the area and citizens to be served by the demonstration project ultimately perform the evaluation." This, he asserted, would provide "an assured sense of objectivity sought by all of us." LaDou also suggested that, the 15 community groups also be asked to participate in review of the findings of the evaluation program when they are submitted to the Board of Health and Welfare. A spectator at Tuesday's meeting, Rita Gilmore, form a i a Family and Children Service Advisory Committee, contended that the board should have recommended going i i a of i a review by those involved, in order to get a "more valid evaluation." A. similar recommendation was received in a letter from Dr. Basil R. Meyerowitz, president of the medical staff at Chope Community Hospital.

He reported that the medical staff executive committee is recommending to the Board of Supervisors that evaluation of the demonstration project "be carried put by an independent outside organization." "You will see that we do not think it appropriate for the medical staff of this hospital to be involved in the monitoring of the quality of care in the pilot project, just as much as we do not think it appropriate that any other organization that has been i a a i a i wrote. "In essence, we recommend an outside body to do the study if a truly objective opinion is required." Mary Jung, a member of Mills (Continued from Page 1) appeared to have recovered from the "Tidal Basin incident" in which Miss Foxe jumped from Mills' car and into the water late one night. He had taken charge of his committee again and had pushed two tax bills through his committee like "the old Wilbur Mills." Then came the weekend in and when he a a depressed and tired. Midway through a House session Tuesday, Mills quietly told colleagues he could not carry on his duties as floor manager of an effort to override President Ford's veto of a minor tariff bill. He then left for the hospital.

Rep. Charles E. Bennett, said he was sitting next to Mills and asked if something was wrong. Bennett said Mills replied, "I'm i tired.

George Pickett strongly defended the process the county has followed in the program. "There are those who would view this as a sporting contest," he stated. "I don't see it as a horse race. The Board of Supervisors will have to make the final evaluation. "I know of no other area in the country which has taken on such a change in such an open way.

Take the evaluation back to the community itself and let anyone take a shot at it." Pickett cited the situation a few years ago when "the state decided to shut down With Pioneer 11's conquest of Jupiter over, scientists today planned for its next destination: a two- billion-mile giant leap for a peek at Saturn.

There is universal agreement on the three criteria areas, she said: Do patients find decentralized health care acceptable? How good is the care i to a i in the project? How many patients use the decentralized health care services and at what costs?

"Milton Salkind, director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, a fine concert artist and pianist, was on that committee. They are supposed to not vote on their own applications, but there is nothing to prevent them from voting against a similar application from someone else.

(The San Francisco Conservatory was awarded a $4,837 grant.) "Since the Conservatory has been sending its students down into this county for performances, there may be another conflict. Perhaps "because of the a Sen. i has taken in attacking the membership of the California Arts Commission and saying it hasn't been representative: we are being penalized a in his domain." "We were quite disappointed. It cost us $50 postage and copying, and an entire month preparing the application. It just doesn't seem worthwhile.

"We are the first profess i a i arts organization to come into being in San Mateo County." Dr. a i a Tassos, director of the San Mateo County Choral Society, said: "The small struggling groups just starting out are the ones that need it.

In the spring, further state grants will be made to visual arts and communications groups, and to art service organizations. Leslie Olmstead of the California Arts Commission staff, said the division into two groups of grants was made after last year's first tangle with dividing up a major fund. For the first time, the Arts Commission had been the planet as a receding, orange and white stjlriped basketball as the spacecraft departed the north pole.

The action confirmed the board's allocation of the funds during county budget hearings last June.

County Director of Health a a Pickett said the study will review the enabling legislation, tax structure and operations of the Sequoia and Peninsula hospital districts for efficiency, effectiveness a i i i i health care services on a countywide basis. Proposed alternatives to the current districting organization will be reviewed to determine what desirable changes, if any, are needed to provide for current and projected population and changing patterns and trends of health care delivery in the county, he reported. Pickett noted that the hospital districts are functioning under a 1946 law. enacted for "There is the question of whether we need the law in the same form today or whether it should be modified to meet today's needs," he commented. The agreement provides for the CHPC to complete its study and submit recommendations and a plan of implementation regarding with tiny meteorites when the midmorning fixing to the spacecraft plunged to S170.50.
