In fact the findings were released by the mayor's office yesterday against the advice of the city attorney's office which recommended keeping the report confidential. Bunts' investigation came up with a different interpretation of and conclusion about the shooting from inquiries conducted by the police department and the Alameda County district attorney's office, both of which found the officers' action justifiable.

Oakland Police Chief George Hart Issued a statement yesterday saying the report's findings are contradictory to the department's. Without new evidence he said, the department will not change its conclusion that the officers acted properly and lawfully. From Page 1 yesterday, that "The killing of Melvin Black was unnecessary." "When Thornberry fired the fatal shot, neither he nor Tornek were In imminent danger, and Black was obviously In the midst of flight, pinning away from them," It said. The report accused Thornberry, Tomek and Thomas of faulty judgment and poor police practice for not following the police department's order on firing at a fleeing felon. It slopped short of saying their actions not Justified.

"Thornberry, Tomek and Thomas' faring of 13 shots at Melvin Black was excessive and unnecessary," It stated. The report also accused Thornberry and Tomek of using faulty judgment and poor tactics when they did not consider the potential danger to inno cent bystanders. The findings also stated there was Insufficient evidence that Black was one of the freeway snipers the police was looking for. "In sum, the shooting of Melvin Black on March 17 was the result of a series of faulty judgments and poor police tactics on the part of Thornberry, and Tomek and later of Thomas," the findings concluded As of yesterday no one In the city government could say what, if any, action will be taken as a result of the report's findings. The council finds itself in a sticky situation.

It started the Independent investigation in April because of community concern about the shooting. But now if it takes any action in response to the report, it might leave the city vulnerable in a $5 million I "Ha Word coming From Page 1 They broke down Wednesday over a bitter dispute involving picketing of a center for handicapped students.

Manhattan' quite simply a PANAVISION-!

As it turned out, it was not the music that blew out most impressively, it was instead the county fairgrounds' electrical power. Twice in the evening's concert the festival was plunged into darkness and the amplified sound silenced by transformer failures which apparently had nothing to do with the jazz show. Meanwhile on the darkened stage Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Davor Kajffs and others played in an easygoing jam-session mood and the crowd, nearly a sellout, remained calm and entertained. A pantomlmist named Feno Joined Gillespie in some clever and diverting routines.

Musically the show, although pleasant, did not come up to expectations. Machito's New York Latin jazz orchestra (actually composed mostly of Bay Area musicians) was heavy on rhythm and screaming horns but was often more pop and dance oriented than jazz based. Eighteen microphones picked up Machito's sounds and Gillespie and Clark Terry were guest trumpet soloists. Spanish pianist Tete Montoliu was brilliant but played overly extended numbers. He has fantastic technique and intriguing ideas, but it was the pacing of his performance that needed improvement Both the B.P.

Convention Quartet, from Yugoslavia, and Moe Koffman's Canadian quintet provided beautifully constructed ensemble sounds and pleasant solos. But both, if audience response is any criterion, failed to spark great enthusiasm. The inclusion of vocalist Junko Mine, a Japanese popsinger, in the jazz show was unfortunate, especially since her set did not allow some famous backup soloists any room in which to blow. The evening's show ended well into the morning after the blackout delayed things for over a half hour. It was the wannest Monterey Jazz Festival opening night on record in the atmosphere if not on the stage.

WASHINGTON (LTD Richard Nixon says failure to learn from his earlier mistakes brought about his resignation over Watergate. Nixon acknowledged that error Thursday in a new foreword to a reprint of his old book, "Six Crises." "History will justifiably record that my handling of the Watergate crisis was an unmitigated disaster," he wrote. "After going through the six crises described in this volume, I failed to Than DbTvTTI JlNtXT TO COW fAl ALt f7b2blUO Information- No progress in Jefferson school talks Negotiations finally got under way In the Rday-old Jefferson Union High School District strike by teachers and office workers. But district negotiators broke them off yesterday after only three hours, saying that no progress had been made. 'The parties are as far apart as they possibly can be," Garry Mathiason chief district negotiator, said after yesterday's session.

"I see no settlement for at least several weeks." Mathiason said the next bargaining session has not been scheduled. "What we're specifically hoping for is that the teachers will respond with a counterproposal to set the stage to go back into negotiations," he said. In the proposal, Mathiason said, the district made what he called two "major concessions" class size would stay at the present level, and department heads would be able to keep a free period. More than 80 percent of the district's 400 teachers and office workers have participated in the walkout Since school started Sept 4, student attendance has hovered at just under 50 percent The district which serves Daly City and Pacifica. has six schools and nearly 6,500 students.
