23, 1974 How teachers' disagreement ende strike the long Moderates, militants split after 2 years of factional rumbling i 1 doesn't mean -they're disunited." Nor did Negoesco share some teachers' complaint that the strike was forced on them. "We would have gone out anyway," he said. Dixie Mahy, a teacher at Galileo High School, disagreed. "I consider striking a last resort," she said. "I think Ballard was forced into the strike by TAC." "Today I was thinking maybe I'll quit the union," Mrs.

Mahy added. "I was frankly ashamed of the teachers. -They were acting like, rowdies. I don't allow that kind of behavior in my classroom." She pointed out that lew speakers at either AFT meeting yesterday talked about the strike's effect on students. "Theoretically, we're all trying to do what's best for the children," she said, "but this semester is really shot." During a moment of acrimonious shouting.

Mrs. Mahy added, "There's really hatred here and I don't like that." In spite of the division, many teachers see differences of opinion as a healthy sign. Negoesco noted that the rival CTA "is a top-run organization. They don't debate, they don't have meetings like this." And another teacher who works with both moderates and militants in the AFT commented, "I don't see the differences as bitterness, I see it as healthy. "This way, the teachers have to weigh both sides and the meeting of independent -arguments will ultimately make the union stronger.

years, and although many factions exist, the principal disagreement is between the militant Teachers Action Caucus and the more moderate union members. Kitty Kelly, a TAC member, explains that the caucus consists of "people with the worst kinds of grievances, but there are others as well. "Some are members of the Progressive Labor Party and believe in revolution, but the majority are not Marxists," she says. TAC members demanded yesterday that the strike continue and that more militant tactics be adopted. They recommended a mass sit-in at the school administration office, reinstating picket lines at the school bus yards, and requesting the San Francisco Labor Council to call a one-day work stoppage to support the teacher strike.

ANALYSIS By Nancy Dooley Education writer The San Francisco Federation of Teachers agreed to end its strike last night only after teachers realized they were so divided they could not successfully sustain their walkout. Their vote earlier yesterday to reject the final package 550 to 547 indicated just how serious the split was. Historically, the AFT has fought a battle for power with the Classroom Teachers Association, which is considered much more conservative and whose members are generally older. But now another battle for power is taking place within the AFT ranks. It's a division which has been building for about two May, and the strike and his role in it will undoubtedly be an issue.

TAC would like to see him ousted, as would some other union members. "I want to see Ballard out because he can't hold the teachers together," said one last night. "Everything comes down to a personal, attack he seems to feel everybody who wants something is TAC." Steve Negoesco, a teacher at Giannini Junior High "All the things that create unity he hasn't done," she charged. "He's been forced into all the militant actions we've taken." She also said the AFT's executive board recom-mended rejection of strike settlement offer only as a face-saving move. "I think Ballard really wanted people to vote to go back," Miss Kelly declared.

"Because I think he thinks he can't win." Ballard faces reelection in Full text of the letter by Little and Remiro Russ arms plan disappoints U.S. KITTY KELLY "He thinks we can't win" Miss Kelly accused teachers union president Jim Ballard of leading the strike "in a very factional and divisive way. 1 JOSEPH REMIRO vv 1 RUSSELL LITTLE This full text of the handwritten statement viailed from Alameda County Jail by Russell Little and Joseph Remiro: We, Russ Little and Joe Remiro, have decided to go ahead and send out this statement instead of waiting for the live, televised press conference that we and our lawyers have exerted every effort to obtain. It should be obvious to all at this point, that those officials who interpret and enforce the laws are determined to stop the conference. The news media have expressed support and offered to help get our statements out to the public.

Now that it's not live let's see how many publish this statement in full and how many take excerpts out of context, as they did in our first statement, in an attempt to further prejudice people against us! If the news people are truly interested in in-fonning the public, they will publish this statement and our first one, dated Feb. 27, in full: As has consistently been the case since we were attacked and arrested on Jan. 10, the judges, D.A.s and sheriffs, with the supervision and support' of federal law enforcement agencies, have conspired to keep us from speaking to the people. We asked for the press conference in the hopes of contributing to the safe and speedy release of Patricia Hearst! Why won't they let us speak? Patty says it herself as does the S.L. A.

in the last tape they sent out. Briefly stated: the federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, courts included, are responding to the demands of the corporate powers whose interests they represent and protect at all costs! At this point they are so desperate that they would not even be completely satisfied with the death of those S.L.A. forces guarding her or even the annihilation of the entire S.L.A. They seek to discredit the strategy and tactics of the S.L.A. and other revolutionary groups and feel this can be accomplished only if Patricia is killed and her death blamed on the S.L.A.!! We realized this cold, brutal fact and discussed it at our midnight meeting, Thursday Feb.

21, with Death Row Jeff. Procunier and those federal agents with him allowed Jeff and us to meet together in the hopes that, after a tour of the gas chamber we would unconsciously aid them by just making a simple statement such as, "Release Patricia Hearst." Once they realized that we intended to expose their plan of action, they showed their true colors put Jeff in the "hole" in Vacaville, us in the "hole" in San Quentin and tried like hell to stop us from communicating with the public. This racist, exploitive treatment of Death Row Jeff is typical of his prison experiences during the last 29 years and of the entire capitalist-imperialist system. Another aspect of tills meeting which seems to have been overlooked is, "Where did our hand-written suggestions go?" When we gave them to Procunier, he would not even look at them said they were for "higher-ups" (sounds familiar doesn't The F.B.I, denied any partic concrete thing we can do to assist in your safe release by exposing the true intentions of the F.B.I., etc. to the public.

We feel confident that the S.L.A. will release you unharmed. We're glad to hear that you recognize the dishonest actions of your family in regards to meeting the food program and remaining silent while others jeopardize your safety. We hope that when you are released you will continue to be strong and speak your mind! We realize, as do you, that the S.L.A. has consistently referred to our safety and well-being but that in reality, you will not be harmed for anything that might happen to us.

You're in no better position than us, as far as the reactionary force's intentions they want to make an example of your death as well as ours! Actually, you're in a better position only as long as the S.L.A. can protect and keep you well hidden until you can be- released and returned safely to your fiance. Who knows you might even look back on this as a worthwhile experience where people were fed and you and the public were exposed to the cruelty and inhumanity of the corporate powers who rule this country. It's good to hear you're reading George Jackson Soledad Brother is another beautiful book he wrote about the California prison system and the lives of non-white people in this country. We look forward to receiving a visit from you, Patty, after you are released.

To the Symbionese Liberation Army we also send our warmest love and regards. Wre understand the motivation of your actions, in our behalf, as you know that we are innocent and that there is no chance of us receiving a fair trial. Please don't waste your time or risk your lives worrying about us. We're in good health and spirits! Our struggle, at this time, is secondary. We join our comrads Lolita Lebron, Assata Shakur (slave name JoAnneChes-imard), Sundiata Acoci (slave name Clark Squire), Ri-charo Brown, Henry "Sha-Sha' Brown, the N.Y.

Five and all those struggling from within these concentration camps and expect our trials to also reflect the injustices of a sick society and oppressive system. We in no way feel isolated or surprised by the actions of the state and feder-t al authorities. We are in unity with our comrads and grow strong in the realization that Comrad George lives. We share the S.L.A.'s concern for the safety of Patty and the element guarding her. They are in grave danger and should deal with the primary task of the safe return of Patty to her fiance and the safe withdrawal of the S.L.A.

element. We hope that "everyone" is preparing for the government's massive, terrorist assault that will surely follow Patricia Hearst's release. It's obvious that dozens of suspected S.L.A. members are now being actively sought. Once she is released many people and organizations will be atfacked and put behind bars regardless of any guilt or knowledge of the S.L.A.! Just another fascist attempt to kill that which it breeds In ending we'd like to send a twit of our sincerest love and regards to the Black Guerilla Family, Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army and to W.

O. and all other comrads. We'd also like to send our sympathies to all those intellectual, sunshine revolutionaries in a quote from George Jackson From Page 1 clear arms limitation agreement with the Russians to build up his political image. (The President "would do nothing to compromise national security, irrespective of any political dispute," Schlesinger told a news conference. (When asked whether the Russians might think they could take advantage of Watergate caused difficulties to gain advantage in a SALT agreement, Schlesinger replied: they were to believe that, they would soon be disabused of that notion." (Schlesinger said "progress was made" at Kissinger's meeting with Russian leaders, but the defense secretary indicated that this was relatively minor.

(But he said there was "no resolution of the Details of the present differences in view were not given to newsmen flying to Washington with Kissinger. But the official said flatly: "What they gave us is not acceptable." He added that Kissinger's 20 hours of talks with Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders in the Kremlin produced "movement," but not a breakthrough. 1 ately gassed and beaten with pick handles Those who on Aug. 2, 1971, witnessed the murder of George Jackson.

Those who have witnessed countless other murders in the name of "rehabilitation and adjustment." Some have been beaten into insanity while others have been beaten into the objective reality which has led to the birth of organizations such as the B.G.F. and W.O. Coblentz acting in the interests of the Hearst Corporation said that he fisited us in the "hole" and was satisfied that we were being treated well. Our attorneys pointed out to the judge, in Alameda County, that such was not the case and requested that the judge personally view our conditions of confinement. The judge did as requested and immediately put out a court order to have us moved.

This action must have taken some moral convictions but why is it that he or no other judge ever gave a second thought about two Black comrads who were also in the hole? At the time, they had been living under those same conditions for over 45 days, one of them without any hot water. We have learned that Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt is now also in the "hole" on Death Row. Why is it that Lt Calley accused of killing many innocent civilians is out on a one thousand dollar "appeal bond," while Geronimo and other comrads have appeals also but no such "appeal We question such moral convictions. This is the same brand of morality that claims to put the highest of values on life, in respect to Patricia Hearst, and is silent while a C.I.A. sponsored, military dictatorship is murdering upwards of 80,000 innocent people in Chile.

DIXIE MAHY Strike a last resort School, did not agree that the teachers aren't united. "This union has a lot of factions which represent a lot of thoughts," he said. "That Spurses that were missing and both had many acquaintances at Stanford. The San Mateo-Santa Clara County line separates the two sites. Santa Clara and San Mateo police in charge of the Perlov and' Taylor cases, repectively, met in Redwood City today to compare notes.

Miss. Taylor's shoes and the belt to her black raincoat were recovered yesterday along the edge of Sand Hill Road east ofManzanita Drive, where her body was found. Investigators theorized the girl was choked to death, possibly by the collar of her gray turtleneck sweater, during a struggle with her captor in his car. Private memorial services for Miss Taylor will be held tomorrow. Kissinger intends to keep channels open by conferring regularly with Antoly Dob-rynin, Soviet -ambassador to the U.S..

and with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who will attend a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next month. The technical discussions in Geneva will continue as well. In an apparent shift in strategy, the two countries now seem to be concentrating on additions to the 1972 U.S. -Soviet nuclear treaty instead of working toward a permanent ban on offensive weapons. The most likely addition to the category of temporary controls is missiles carrying multiple warheads.

A joint communique said Kissinger and Brezhnev had discussed preparations for Nixon's visit. On the nuclear issue, the communique said that the two sides had agreed "there are possibilities for reaching mutually acceptable solutions" and that they were determined to keep making "energetic efforts to find such solutions." Kissinger and Brezhnev concentrated principally on missiles with multiple warheads. The United States currently has a predominant advantage in this category, but the Soviets would be expected to make concessions in launch power where they are ahead. The bill would extend coverage under the law to 5 million federal, state and local employes; 1 million domestics; 600,000 additional retail store employes; 120,000 additional service industry workers and 25,000 additional farm workers. In all, the new law leaves just 6 million not covered by a minimum wage most of them employed by small retail and service ments.

The bill also extends the requirement that overtime of at least time and a half be paid for work exceeding 40 hours per week to about eight million persons previously exempt. That would leave only about 10 million persons not covered by overtime provisions, most of them in transportation. In addition, the bill would require overtime be paid to police and firemen beginning next January, after a 60-hour tour of duty. Overtime would apply after a 53-hour duty tour in 1976 and after 54 hours in 1977 and thereafter. Policemen and firefighters have never been covered by overtime The same brand of morality that sits back while the U.S.

government murders and supports the murdering of thousands of innocent human beings in Asia, South America, Africa, Ireland and all over the world. The same brand of morality middle class Amerikkkans use as they allow their government to carry out an organized terrorist campaign of murder and oppression in this country's ghettos, barrios, reservations and prisons. We have no respect for this brand of self-oriented, racist morality! WTe do, in fact, put the highest of values on human life all human life This includes the life of Patricia Hearst as well as the lives of the children of the poor and oppressed peoples of the world. We do not hold Patricia Hearst responsible for the actions of the Hearst Corporation or the part it plays within the ruling class. We do, in fact, admire the level of courage and objectivity she has displayed and send her our warmest regards.

Patty, we feel mat we have already done the most Minimum pay bill sent to President ipation or knowledge of the meeting so, "Who read our suggestions?" Statements that no one knew what we intended to say are out-right lies! People are expecting us to tell about the prison conditions we've encountered since our arrest. We've spent a little more than a month jn San Quentin maximum security, "adjustment center" and a few days short of a month in the "hole" on Dsath Row. In prison time this is hardly men-tionable. To find out about the "adjustment center" and the "hole" ask those who have spent precious years "locked down." Those who have been regularly and indiscrimin- "If today's young revolutionary vanguard are not merely entertaining themselves with a new kind of chicken, a political form of bumper tag, if they seriously intend to step out front and take the monster to task, they should understand from the outset that the monster is merciless."

An estimated 4.5 million workers would receive pay hikes by the time all of the steps take effect. Nixon argued that the 1973 measure was inflationary and did not include a youth differential permitting a lower rate for teen-agers. The 1974 bill contains only minor changes from last year's version. It does not contain a youth differential but it does liberalize present laws slightly on employment of students. From Page 1 Hearst's safety and that of "the element guarding her." "They are in grave danger," the letter said, "and should deal with the primary task of the safe return of Patty to her fiance and the safe withdrawal of the SLA element." The writers predicted a "massive, terrorist assault" by "the government" to follow imediately upon Miss Hearst's release." "Once she is released many people and organizations will be attacked and put behind bars regardless of any guilt or knowledge of the SLA," Remiro and Little predicted.

"Just another fascist attempt to kill that which it breeds." The earlier portions of the seven-page, hand-printed letter charged that various government agencies "conspired to keep us from speaking to the people" when they requested a live television press conference. That request was supported in the last communique from the SLA, two and a half weeks ago, but was turned down by two separate judges in East Bay counties. Russell and Little are currently the subject of an Alameda County Grand Jury investigation into the Foster slaying, which is expected to end today. They are being held at the Alameda County Jail, but previously had been incarcerated at San Quentin Prison for about two months as a security measure. Detectives seeking the strangler of Janet Ann Taylor, 21, daughter of former Stanford University athletic director Chuck Taylor, turned today to records of a similar unsolved murder a year ago.

Miss Taylor, last seen hitchhiking near the campus Sunday night, was found dead next morning four miles away on Sand Hill Road near Searsville Lake. Circumstances of her murder resemble that of Leslie Marie Perlov, 21, a Palo Alto librarian found strangled Feb. 16, 1973, on wooded Frenchman's Hill, a few hundred yards from where Miss Taylor's body was found. Other similarities: both wore raincoats, both were barefoot, both had carried Hearst details trust plan From Page 1 with more distributions scheduled this week in Santa Rosa and Chinatown here. Hearst also was asked about his reaction to a comment by his wife Catherine that she was losing hope for the safety of their daughter.

He paused, then said it had been a long time since the family had heard from Patricia but that he was still taking the SLA at its word that she would not be harmed. He said that he still believes she is alive. Charles Bates, special agent in charge of the FBI office here, said there have been no new developments in the kidnaping, which took place last Feb. 4. Mrs.

Catherine Hearst, who accompanied her husband to New York earlier this week while he attended a regular meeting of the Hearst Corporation, had told a New York interviewer: "I feel very discouraged about the whole thing. It's been such a long time. You try to keep your spirits up, but now I am finally beginning lose hope. I can't think of any way out of it for Patty.".
