Newton's defense lawyer. He wants the Black Panther and his financial backers to pay him $339,000 as a result.

The unusual dispute in Alameda County Superior Court also involves a wealthy Hollywood movie producer, a regent of the University of California and a tax-exempt foundation that was footing part of Newton's legal bills in a felony weapons case. Halvonik is a former judge of the state Court of Appeal whose arrest on charges of growing marijuana in his Oakland hills home and his conviction and resignation in 1980 rocked the state's judiciary. According to a lawsuit on file here, Halvonik was hired in 1981 to prepare an appeal of Newton's conviction for illegally possessing two handguns that were used to pistol-whip a tailor in Newton's apartment. Newton, who then as now was free on bail, met with the former justice in Berkeley in April 1981 and agreed to pay Halvonik $100 per hour for his work, the lawsuit says. Halvonik sent his bills not to Newton, but to filmmaker Bert Schneider, who produced such movies as "The Last Picture Show" and "Five Easy Pieces." Schneider is a longtime Panther supporter and bought Newton the Montclair home where he now lives.

Sheinbaum of Los Angeles was a party to Halvonik's employment contract because it was accepting tax-exempt contributions for Newton's legal defense. The former judge complains that a few months after he was hired, he was illegally fired at the behest of filmmaker Schneider. Not only did Schneider talk Newton into firing Halvonik, the suit complains, he also refused to pay the justice more than $9,000 for work that had already been performed on the case.

Halvonik says he wants his $9,000, along with $30,000 to compensate him for his trouble in collecting the allegedly unpaid bill. announcement that the presidential papers would go to Stanford was quickly withdrawn a year and a half ago after Stanford administrators expressed some irritation about the announcement coming without consulting the campus. Yesterday's announcement about a Reagan center for public affairs was an additional development, however. "This is yet another example of connections being forged all the time between Stanford and the Reagan administration, with Hoover as the linchpin," Manley said. "As far as 1 know, Ronald Reagan's only connection with the campus is Hoover.

He wasn't a student here and he didn't live in Palo Alto. "I think it would be inappropriate for Stanford to go very far along this path unless and until the trustees' study the situation." Kennedy's announcement said the committee would "define and state the university's interest in having these presidential papers here." He called the papers "a valuable scholarly resource." The campus announcement quoted Campbell as saying that the public-affairs center would "provide facilities to bring together scholars and academicians, journalists, legislators, government policymakers and business men and women to discuss, debate and analyze issues of domestic and foreign affairs critical to our nation's past, present and future." Construction would be funded privately. "Stanford's direct costs would consist of the value of the land lease, plus administrative expenses," said Kennedy.

The two had been in regular contact by telephone with their parents at home and with friends in Connecticut They were to have flown from Los Angeles after picking up luggage stored for them in Newport Beach. But they never used the pre-paid tickets. "My daughter was very trusting, an extrovert, but also naive," said Ove Lilienberg. "She had never hitchhiked in Sweden, but here she found everyone was so friendly, she felt so safe. 1 tried to warn her.

Working as I do with people on drugs, I know the dangers. We even had an argument, a friendly argument, about her hitchhiking," he said. y.Lix-t "My first wife was a woman who deeply believed in her faith and the passing of our heritage to each generation," said Naymark, who has since remarried. The tribute called the Jo Naymark Holocaust Memorial Center houses a synagogue and dining hall and includes an outdoor amphitheater. The mosaics and metal sculpture done by the children and the bronzework designed by Burke are steeped with the Jewish symbols of life.

Apart from the name, references to the Holocaust are subtle. One involves the design of the 18 metal-sculpture lamps that hang from the domed ceiling of the synagogue. Six of the lamps, placed in a cul-de-sac formed by the remaining dozen, can be switched on separately as a symbol of the 6 million Holocaust victims. Glaser, who arrived at Camp Swig from New York, chuckled as he recalled the evolution of his dream and prepared to view the memorial for the first time. "My mother always said, 'Jo-jo doesn't have a lot of brains, but he has a lot of luck," he said.

"This shows I've been really lucky." MARIE LILIENBERG, 23 Broke promise to her father know now she was hitchhiking," said Lilienberg, a social worker in Stockholm.

Glaser readily accepted the change and hit upon the idea of having each camper contribute to the memorial. In the last 13 summers more than 14,300 children, ages 9 to 17, have worked on elaborate mosaics and a 12-foot-high, wood-framed holy ark with bronze and copper panels.

For a decade, however, the growing collection was stored in dusty worksheds and in Burke's studio. The mosaics, designed for a large wall and floor display, were stacked up and covered with cardboard. The holy ark, without a synagogue to house it, was dismantled and tucked away. Glaser moved on to become a top-ranking official. But his successor, Rabbi Morris Hershman, kept the dream alive.

So when Naymark approached him about two years ago seeking a way to pay tribute to his late wife, Jo, Hershman suggested the Holocaust memorial. Hershman urged him to speak with Glaser and visit the camp. PANTHER HUEY P.

Neither Newton nor Schneider could be reached for comment.

No one was in yesterday at the Berkeley law office that Halvonik shares with his wife, Deborah, who was arrested in the same Oakland marijuana raid that netted the justice.

City still undecided on Burton memorial On the other hand, while four months have passed since Burton's death and while The City hasn't found anything suitable to name in honor of the late congressman, some local politicians have forged ahead. A supervisors' committee was told yesterday that since Burton's April 10 death, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area has been dedicated in his honor and the Federal Building and a computer center at George Washington High School have been named after him.

On top of that, a Dawn Redwood has been planted in Burton's name in Golden Gate Park, along with an Australian Christmas Tree in an Excelsior District park. The Culture and Recreation Committee made no headway in its deliberations. It decided that another committee should be named, with each supervisor apK)inting a member, that will be resjwnsible for choosing the appropriate memorial.

By Carl Irving Examiner staff writer Stanford University's ties to the Reagan administration were in the spotlight again today, with the university considering Whether it should house a Reagan library and a Reagan Center for Public Affairs. The earlier FBI presence on campus, to investigate Reagan campaign papers after allegations of dirty tricks against President Carter's re-election campaign, had prompted renewed criticism of the Reagan connection. Responding to a request from the academic senate, the campus board of trustees is setting up a special committee to investigate allegations that some of the Hoover Institution scholars abandoned academic objectivity for open praise of Reagan. Yesterday, campus President Donald Kennedy announced that his special committee would "give me some consultation on the kinds of academic benefits that might accrue to Stanford through the possession of papers and presence of the Reagan library on campus." Both the library and the center for public affairs would be administered by the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, a conservative think tank at Stanford.

A leading critic, Professor John Manley, former chairman of the political science department, charged that if the library comes to Stanford, the campus will be "indelibly linked with Ronald Reagan in perpetuity." Manley was among 69 faculty members who persuaded the academic senate last spring to call for an investigation into whether the Hoover institute engages in partisan political activity. Hoover Institution Director Glenn Campbell, a close friend of Reagan, has been exploring the library question with White House officials since Reagan took office. A White House have been deluged with telephone calls of reported sightings of the two. The Monterey County sheriff's office alone has received more than 100 calls, he said. "But we have nothing firm.

We can only hope that one of the people ill have seen them and that they are all right," Prevot said. "This is not like either of the girls, not to keep their appointments. My daughter always keeps her appointments," said Lilienberg. Wahlen, whose English was not as fluent as Lilienberg's, rushed from the press conference, obviously distraught, when asked about his daughter's plans to return home. Lilienberg emphasized that the women were very happy about winding up their trip and returning home.

The two met in Colorado while they were touring the country. They had not known each other in Sweden. Marie Lilienberg, who had visited this country twice before, arrived here last October, while Maria Wahlen By Leslie Guevarra Examiner staff writer SARATOGA Thirteen years ago, Rabbi Joseph Glaser stood before a stark Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem and decided he wanted a similar tribute erected at Camp Swig, a summer retreat for Jewish children. Glaser, at that time regional head of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, embarked on the project at the 200-acre camp the group runs in Saratoga. The twostory memorial building, completed in June, will be dedicated at Camp Swig tomorrow.

The ceremonies will include Rabbi Alexander Schindler, who as UAHC president Ls one of the nation's most highly respected Jewish leaders. Glaser's dream, albeit in a slightly altered form, has come true. What he envisioned was "something with a lot of barbed wire," said Glaser, who is now the executive vice president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which with the UAHC represents the country's reform Jews. "My concept was wrong," he said. "Instead of a stark, horrifying kind of remembrance, we have a memorial that is a symbol of life." Fathers of Bv Don West Examiner staff writer REDWOOD Cm' The fathers of two "friendly, helpful and naive" Swedish hitchhikers, who disappeared on July 16, have made personal pleas for help in locating their daughters.

Ove Lilienberg and Lars Wahlen, who flew here from Sweden to help in the search, handed out pictures of their daughters yesterday in hopes someone had seen the two. "We appeal to anyone who has any information whatsoever to please come forward, in particular anyone who may have seen them along the road or perhaps saw them getting into a car," they said in a prepared statement. Marie Lilienberg, 23, and Maria Wahlen, 24, failed to pick up their luggage in Southern California, meet friends in Connecticut as expected or show up at home on schedule.
