Teachers in 21 schools in the Jefferson Elementary District planned to begin teaching on a minimum day basis starting Friday to accentuate their demands for. a 5 percent pay raise. The district, which covers Colma 'and Broadmoor as well as Daly City, has offered a. 2 percent pay raise. At the high school level, members of the American Federation of Teachers announced they would take a strike vote Friday to press their demands for across the board raises of up to $750 annually.

The four-school district is beset by a problem confront ing many districts in the state, the power dispute between the California Teach-ers Association and AFT groups. At the elementary level, the teachers plan to teach 240 minutes (four hours) to fourth graders and above, 230 minutes to first through third graders. That means school will be out shortly after noon. The 2Yz hour kindergarten period will remain the same. School officials in the district of 10,200 students called the minimum day plan "a direct breach of contract and defiance of the law." They said the district could not afford the 5 percent plus fringe benefits asked by the CTA teachers, andrews flights every day to A NEW FACE ON tin' I MEAN A HAIG I in WHAT A WASTE OF GOOD SCOTCH gets HAIG BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY, 86 PROOF RENFIELD IMPORTERS, N.Y, Milan.

President Norman Topping Call TWA at 626-7400. Direct Business Tax Rate Modified The City's new business li cense tax had been modified by the Board of Supervisors to the extent of several ex emptions, a partial exemp' tion and one lowereed tax rate. It was all done by a split vote, although the only seri' ous difference of opinion at yesterday's board session centered around granting a tiat exemption to newspa-. pers, magazines and radio and television stations. The exemption was adopted, after vigorous discussion, by a 6-5 vote, with Board President John Ertola, and Supervisors William Blake, Terry Francois, James Mail-liard, Peter Tamaras and Dorothy von Beroldingen voting in favor.

Opposed were Roger Boas, Leo McCarthy, Robert Mendelsohn, Jack Morrison, and Ronald Pelosi. DISADVANTAGE Ertola argued that a tax on radio and television stations here would place them at a competitive disadvantage with others operating outside The City but serving the same area. And, he said, it would be unfair to exempt one of the news media without exempting the others. Supporters argued, too, that the tax would infringe upon freedom of the press, and might even be unconsti- tutional. Morrison, however, noted that some other cities tax the news media along with other businesses, while Pelosi stressed that a tax could be criticized only if it singled out the news media.

OPPOSITION Morrison was the only supervisor casting a vote in opposition to other changes. They included lowering the tax on jitney drivers from $1.10 to 25 cents per day, and exempting contractors from taxes on contracts which were begun before the new tax law went into effect.

GLAD THEY DIDNT PROP BOTH SmvlCl OWNCO Union Square shoppers found a new doorway to Macy's department store today.

It's where Dohrmann's used to be. Although a formal opening is planned Thursday, shops on the new mezzanine and ground floor were opened Monday. Macy's new annex, eight stories stands at 281 Geary St. across from Union Square. It was built on the site of the 60 year old Dohr-mann Building, which was demolished in early 1967.

It offers a fifth entry into the large Macy's store on the other side of the block. High on the brick facing of the annex is a clock intended, perhaps, for the convenience of brownbaggers sitting on the benches of Union Square. The facade was designed by architect John Bolles to offer little footing for pigeons. Even the Macy's sign is recessed. The building is a monolith of brick except for windows on the top floor, where exec-utives will dwell, and a 18-foot glass wall at the entrance.

The entrance is halfway between the first and second floors. An escalator leads customers down to an extension of the men's clothing shops; a short stairway goes up to a shop for women's shoes. U.S. Probe Of Basket! Case Asked The NAACP today asked for a federal investigation of the killing of George Baskett by 1 i a Michael R. O'Prien.

Spokesmen also demanded drastic revision of the grand jury system. the statement, the product of three meetings attended by about 30 well known leaders in the Negro community, was issued jointly by Dr. Carleton Goodlett, publisher of the Sun-Reporter; the Rev. Hamilton Boswell, pastor of Jones Methodist Church, and Clifton Jeffers, an attorney. They accused the Police Department, in conjunction with the district attorney's office, of delaying criminal action against O'Brien until forced by "cries of outrage and indignation from the citizenry." Baskett, 27, a Negro truck driver, was shot to death Sept.

29 by the off-duty white patrolman following a minor traffic accident and a scuffle with neighbors along Brush Street. Although Police Chief Thomas Cahill pronounced it a case of justifiable homicide, subsequent investigation led to a murder charge against O'Brien. When the matter came before the Grand Jury, the charge was reduced to manslaughter. The NAACP statement accused police of suppressing evidence, botching up the investigation and trying to cover up for O'Brien. separation" between those receiving intensive care and those being given the less intensive and ex i intermediate care.

THE FEAR It was this part of the law that gave rise to the fears that patients would have to be moved from one section of a facility to another or even to an altogether separate facility. Trying to dispel these fears, Dr. Land told his audience: "It is not the intent of the law that patients be shunted back and forth between an intermediate care unit and a skilled nursing home unit whenever any changes occur in their need." Also, Dr. Land explained what the law doesn't seem to spell out that the new intermediate care provisions only apply to people receiv ing some form of public wel- idi assistance. dsn collection of finks.

The mayor, answering crit-icsm by the Northern California Joint Board of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, recalled that at the time of the waterfront incident he was in the company of some of San Francisco's top trade union officials. Sam Krips, the union board's manager, told the San Francisco Labor Council last night he had sent the Mayor a letter saying the board was "shocked" at his action and registering a strong protest. INFORMATIONAL Commenting on this, Alioto said that last week when he and the union officials attended a luncheon on the President Roosevelt in support of the pOrt-acquisition PropositionsB and it seemed clearly understood that the United Farm Work- ers Organizing Committee picketing of the dock was in formational only. He pointed out that he went past the pickets in company with Harry Bridges, Interna-tional Longshoremen's Warehousemen's Union president, other ILWU represent atives, and the luncheon was attended by such officials as Morris Weisberger of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, Ed Turner of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union, Teamsters International Vice President Joseph Diviny and Joseph a 1 a of the Plumbers Union. AN AFFRONT UFVVOC officials said the union leaders were asked not to go aboard as the liner had a cargo of 58 tons of fresh grapes, trucked past the pickets.

The pickets were attempting to prevent overseas shipments of the grapes as part of the UFWOC boycott. To cross a picket line of farm workers or the picket line of any group of workers engaged in a just strug gle for then rights is an affront that cannot be condoned," 'the clothing workers' official told Alioto. Furthermore, they thought the time has come for him to do something more in support of the boycott than sign a Board of Supervisors' resolution. George Johns, Labor Council secretary, refused to attend the lunch because of the pickets, Jack Crowley, assistant secretary, reported. The incident is due to be discussed at the next meeting of the Labor Council's executive board.

THE SAVINGS The legislation he referred to is expected to save the federal government some $100 million a year by removing patients judged to receive more care than their condition requires from intensive nursing care facilities. To do this, the Congress has established yet a new medical a or termed "intermediate care'l for which hospitals and nursing home operators would be reimbursed at a lower rate than for regular nursing care.

What particularly concerned nursing home operators was that the legislation specifically stipulates that there must be a "physical l7ff i I Shunting of Aged Patients Under New Law Feared II N.Y 10017 Tips Booklet. Fear that another round of i elderly patients from one nursing home to another is in the works is dominating a nationwide conference on the lot of the aging now being held in San Francisco. The fear is persisting despite assurances from a top federal health official that money-saving nursing care legislation enacted by Congress was in no way intended to work a hardship on sick elderly people. Under no circumstances will the legislation trigger a repeat performance of the traumatic experience many elderly Californians went through when they were transferred to less expensive nursing homes shortly after Governor Reagan took office to save on the cost of Medi-Cal, Dr. Francis L.
