The eloquent, dark-haired Mrs. Feinstein, widowed just eight months ago when her brain surgeon husband died of cancer.

became the city's 38th mayor on a 6-2 vote from fellow members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She immediately was sworn in by another of California's woman leaders Chief Justice Rose Bird and will serve the remaining year of Moscone's term. "I will lead our city through the difficult healing process by being a strong chief executive," Mrs. Feinstein, 45, pledged. "Beginning the work of our city's emotional reconstruction is an awesome responsibility." She promised to "get on the 1 Charles Dederich Dederich silent Dianne Feinstein, right, it San Francisco's new mayor Administering the oath is Chief Justice Rose Bird upi Synanon leader has ignited legal fuse Beach closure flap ARROYO" GRANDE Three council members and three planning commissioners agreed Monday that the city's general plan is too vague and should be reviewed and updated.

But they disagreed during a study session on exactly how the revisions should be accomplished, with Councilman Matthew Gallagher urging that professional consultants be added to the payroll on a yearly basis and others feeling that Planning Director Ricardo Castro and his staff can carry out the task. Castro expressed his opinions on the general plan in a letter to Administrator Tom Butch in August, declaring that the current plan does not appear to be in keeping with the feeling of the people. He proposed citizen involvement as the plan is updated and suggested that planning 20 years into the future is difficult to deal with. B'Ann Smith agreed, suggesting that the city determine a maximum population and build to that number. She also feels ideas encompassed in the current plan are not in keeping with the wishes of the majority of those who live in Arroyo Grande.

Gallagher favored adding a document to the elements of the gneral plan which would outline goals for a three to five year period and be updated periodically. He said he thinks the' present plan is too general, and without direction. While Gallagher, Smith and de Leon were in concurrence over revision and were backed by planning commissioners Lawrence Vandeveer, Pearl Cole and Beverely Simmons, Mayor Mark Millis disagreed. He noted that the present plan was updated in 1975 and has been studied again this year and "for the most part is okay." He opposed revision on the grounds that changing the general plan would be "like rewriting the constitution." But he agreed to put the matter on an agenda for council consideration next week.

Charged with the murders was former Supervisor Dan White, 32, who has reported-1 ly confessed to the crimes. White, who quit his supervisor post earlier in November, wanted the job back and was known to be angry over Moscone's decision to appoint mission must study the issue before a decision on beach use is made. He said the planning commission should begin their deliberations within 60 days. Audience members David Trigera and Peter Keith urged closure, asking the council to make a decision now to share costs of a barricade with Pismo, but Lynn said the matter must be referred to a "proper slot" declaring, "This matter is within our staff here and if we jump in and make a decision we would preempt the planning commission, the staff and everybody else." An ad hoc beach committee composed of coastal commission staff members, "staff members from Grover City, Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara county cities, the state Parks and Recreation Department, Fish and Game Department and other agencies are meeting regularly to formulate plans for the beach and were in Pismo Beach last week discussing the matter. Planning Director Wilson Hubbell Monday told his council these sessions are held to "put together a coastal plan It's necessary to have staff meetings so we can all put in our little two- cents When council members indicated they were unaware of the existence of the ad hoc beach committee, Dowdy said the group was "an unof awaiting decision un den Dederich who lay with his eyes closed, appearing unconscious at Mohave General Hospital Sunday on an Arizona fugitive warrant, based on the charges in California.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office said Monday there was no arraignment, whether the justice thought so or not. "As far as we are concerned, there was no arraignment," Deputy District Attorney John Watson said in Los Angeles. "In all due respect to Milam, he's a nice fellow, but not an attorney, and I don't think he knows the legal requirements for an arraignment. "To be arraigned, Dederich would have had to be informed of his rights. Dederich was not and had he been, he probably would not have been able to understand them." Milam countered that even though Dederich appeared to take no notice of the proceedings, "it was an arraignment since he was represented by an attorney." However, the attorney, Thomas Thlnnes of Phoenix, said "I probably have to agree with the prosecutor.

Legally, an arraigned defendant must know what is happening, he said, and "Everyone there Sunday seemed to be convinced Mr. Dederich's condition prevented him from knowing what was going on around him." Milam said the problem "probably is semantics." Milam set bond at $500,000 and scheduled an extradition hearing for Jan. 2. Shop tonight 'til 9 p.m. KINGMAN, Ariz.

(UPI) -Synanon chief Charles Dederich, accused of instigating a snake attack on a Los Angeles attorney, lay un-speaking in a hospital bed today while California and Arizona officials argued over what the legal system had done with him. The Arizonans complained about the burden of holding a bedridden cult leader. Dederich, 66, described by a doctor as having "an alcohol problem" and by a psychiatrist as mentally unstable, apparently cannot speak or does not want to. Holding Dederich has imposed "an intolerable burden on Mohave county, tieing up 15 to 20 percent of the Sheriff's department guarding the hospital," complained County Attorney David B. Babbitt.

Dederich ruled the Synanon group, believed to have more than 1,000 since he founded it in Southern California 20 years ago, originally as a rehabilitation movement for drug addicts and alcoholics. He was arrested Saturday in Lake Havasu City on the Arizona side of the Colorado river, which marks the border there between the two states on Los Angeles charges of conspiracy and solicitation to murder 1 lawyer Paul Morantz. Morantz, who said he was on a Synanon "enemies list," was seriously bitten by a 4-footlong rattlesnake placed in his mailbox, allegedly by two Synanon members. Everett Milam, a justice of the peace, said he arraigned the bedrid someone else. Milk openly supported Moscone's stand.

"I know those two leaders would have wanted to pick up the pieces," Mrs. Feinstein said. "Our efforts to rebuild the city are going to need the help of each one of you." The slayings had further stunned a city already shocked by the Peoples Temple suicide-murders of more than 900 people in Guyana, many of them San Franciscans. ficial committee, the same as if city administrators got together and formed Keith, the audience member who urged closing portions of Grover City's beach to vehicles, said he is a member of the ad hoc committee. When Trigera pushed the issue of a barricade and urged an immediate decision on closure, Dutra told him there are manh problems to be solved, particularly those pertaining to parking and traffic and how closure would affect the economy of Grover City where, he said, most of the Grand Avenue businesses are dependent on tourist trade drawn by the beach and service station business is 70 percent tied to the beach.

Trigera said there "surely will be" petitions circulated for beach closure and a demand for an advisory vote like that held in Pismo Beach where the overwhelming decision was for closure. He predicted a majority of Grover City residents share the same views. Even if part of Graver's beach is closed, Lynn said he doesn't think "a big expensive barrier of a Berlin wall" is needed. "All you would need is a post with a sign on "We're not closing that beach until the state comes up with money for parking ad improvements," said Dutra. "And they're not going to do anything.

SLO County Editor GROVER CITY "If Pismo wants to close the beach let them close it at their city limits that's their problem," declared Mayor Al Dutra Monday. "I'm dead set against closing that beach." Dutra's attitude was echoed by his council as they rejected a request from Pismo Beach Administrator Wayne Hoereth to place a barricade on the beach at the city line, making the beach north of the Grover City ramp off- limits to vehicles. "I'm not for closing the beach at all." chimed in Juanita Quails, "I don't think a small group of people have the right to say whether or not that beach is to be closed." Dutra. Quails, Maysel Fuller and Woody Lynn said they will oppose beach closure until the state has a detailed plan and can provide ample parking with easy access to the sand.

Fuller thinks there should be a parking lot adjacent to the Grover City ramp, west of LeSae Golf Course. "If you closed it off now no one could go on the beach because they might be trapped there by the high tide." While Grover City's Local Coastal Committee has voted 4-3 for beach closure.
