Lurie-plans 'to bring iyiEdiog back to life By 1985, center will look much as it did in 1912 A federal judge has stopped the Airports Commission from evicting the Christian Science reading room from San Francisco International Airport. In issuing a permanent injunction yesterday, U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti said the intended eviction violated the group's freedom of religion and equal protection rights of the First and Fourth Amendments.

Last night, video arcades, cocktail lounges and snack bars were doing a brisk business, while the reading room a quiet book-lined room tucked in a remote corner of the South, Terminal only had one client Art Boates, a volunteer who has been serving at the room's front desk for 12 years, said, "About half of the people who come to airports are here on pleasure and a quarter are here on business. The other quarter are people with problems and that's who we're here to serve." Conti noted that the Airports Commission was "in no way prohibited from terminating (the reading room lease) for valid commercial or other reasons, unless the grounds are merely a 4 '( 1 -if vv -(: i. MiA- 4v- liy'yV' mm ''r-j: SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A medical test that could assist couples who have difficulty conceiving children was introduced at the annual meeting of the American College of Gynecologists. The procedure Involves a dipstick-type device that, when incubated in urine and then in a developer solution, turns blue in the presence of a hormone associated with ovulation.

Its facade eventually will look like it did in 1912, when it had an elegant steel chain-suspended canopy in the classical manner of a traditional Oxford Street, London, department store. Disclosing other elements of the project, Valla said: The new canopy, though of synthetic materials, will be designed to resemble the original. Although Lurie was pressured to contribute to the cost of a tunnel connecting the store to BART and Muni Metro, remodeling plans disclose that there will be no direct connection between the subway systems and the remodeled store. The project has progressed to the point where Lurie has set up a marketing program. Lurie's efforts to rehabilitate the property have met with at least two major setbacks.

In 1982, Bullocks Department Stores reneged on a tentative agreement to lease the space, and later closed all its Northern California stores. Last January, the Rockefeller Center Development Corp. and Lurie pulled out of a deal to develop both the Lincoln and Hales-Penney's sites simultaneously when Mayor Feinstein objected to their plans to exceed the height limit by 100 feet. Anticipating city approval of the plan, Valla has ordered crews to start dismantling partitions inside the old store. Like the Lincoln Building project across the street, the Lurie venture is exempt from the terms of a year-long moratorium on major building permit approvals.

One is grandfathered because it is on school-owned property, the 901 Market St proposal because it is a historic preservation project. In the years since Penney vacated, changes to the building have been mostly limited to removal of the old canopy and, later, to patching of the facade where removal left gaps.

According to documents filed with the commission, Sanchez and Mathis were parked in Sanchez's car at Serramonte.

Mathis, according to the documents, "was observed to be in possession of a one dollar bill which Is consistent with use in snorting lines of cocaine." When confronted by the police, according to the documents, Sanchez "attempted to dispose of the powder on the mirror by flinging it across the center console onto the floor of the car." Then, in the course of his arrest, according to the documents, Sanchez told the arresting officers that he knew "it was stupid to be in possession of cocaine." Both officers Joined the force in 1975.

"Beautiful!" said Bernard Averbuch, director of the Market Street Development i Project, recalling several rehabilitation plans for the building that never came to "pass. "With the Lincoln Building project moving ahead," Averbuch said cautiously, "that means the restraints are off Fifth and Market at last." Averbuch was responding both to Val-a's disclosure as well as to yesterday's disclosure of a proposal to demolish the school (Jlistrict-owned Lincoln Building at the corner of Fifth and Market for a $100 million shopping and office complex.
