School leaders face subpoena The Board of Supervisors legislative and personnel committee threatened yesterday to subpoena members of the Board of Education in connection with a school pay dilemma. Chairman John Molinari and other members of the committee were miffed when no top school officials showed up at a panel meeting dealing with the pay difficulties of some 2,000 school district paraprofessionals. Though winning negotiated fringe benefits amounting to $1.3 million last year, the paraprofessionals ultimately discovered that the Board of Supervisors and not the Board of Education was responsible for setting their pay and that the money was not budgeted. Molinari's committee has sought to unravel the situation.

He said yesterday that if school board members don't agree by Friday to show up at next Thursday's committee sion, he will ask the full Board of Supervisors to issue a subpoena.

"After repeated attempts to find out why Smokey was depressed he told me he sure if what he was writing and preaching was the right thing to do," Ewart Abner told a Superior Court jury of nine women and three men. "He (Robinson) felt it happened because he was black," the head of the nation's largest black-owned business said. Robinson seeks $500,000 in damages from The City for the May 14, 19(58 false arrest in a nightclub dressing room here. He was arrested by two city policemen and charged with defrauding a limousine driver of $361.

It turned out that an imposter on Referendum drive Vote likely -II i i i office in San Francisco, announced plans to add 100 agents to ATF offices on the West Coast, principally in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, in order to beef up the ATF's counter-insurgency "Less than a week after Thome's announcement, Popeye was days later, a phony communique, clearly written by the pigs, attempted to lay the blame for this murder on the New World Liberation Front." An ATF spokesman called the inference that there was a connec- tion between the bureau's plans and Jackson's murder "absurd." Jackson, 45, head of the United Prisoners Union, and Sally Voye, 28, a Vallejo school teacher, were shot to death while sitting in her car parked across from his apartment. The murder is unsolved. The explosives, in two boxes which had been found by janitor Mario Lopez a few minutes be-: fore, went off on the thirty-fourth floor of the building about 10 o'clock Monday, heavily damaging ATF offices' there and the building's main elevator. No one was seriously hurt. Drive gains lor a new county LOS ANGELES Supervisors have certified a petition by Santa Clarita Valley residents who want to secede from Los Angeles County in 1976 and form "Canyon County."

EMBARCADERO 'i 4 I Mt. Diablo tiff By Carl Irving A "Save MCDiaWo" group has collected 33,000 signatures in 26 days in their referendum campaign to block a huge development. The measure, which probably will go on the Contra Costa ballot in November, would seek to overturn a unanimous vote approving the development by the county Board of Supervisors.

"Red Guerrilla Family" claimed responsibility for the bombing and said it was to avenge the murder here last June 8 of prison reform leader Wilbert (Popeye) Jackson. FBI acting on an anonymous telephone tip, picked up the communique in an- Embarcad-ero telephone booth. The communique said that "the ATF, like the, FBI and the CIA, is a federal agency charged with the task of intimidating and disrupting revolutipnary organizations." It described Jackson as "a revolutionary who actively sought to expose to the people the fas- named Harold Cunningham had hired the car, using Robinson's name. During cross examination, Deputy City Attorney George Agnost asked Abner why he hadn't tried to get psychiatric help for Robinson, knowing that the depression as costing him $2.4 million. Abner said he did not get help for the singer-composer because Robinson only- could solve the problem from within.

tl AVENUE CJHtSlNUI si'fr MmBifrmzljJ htm w4 The group needs 20,400 verified signatures from registered voters. The petitions had been contested bitterly by persons hired by the developer, Black-hawk, and the central Contra Costa Labor Council. Art Carter, council secretary-treasurer, admitted he had as many as 20 pro-developer pickets out daily, partly paid for by the developer, a Delaware corporation. Blackhawk wants to build 4,200 dwellings, 'two golf courses and a 28-acre shopping center, up to 1,000 feet elevatioh. The mountain is 4,000 feet high.

Opponents contend the development would further befoul an already smoggy area and cost area, taxpayers millions in new property taxes to pay for schools and other services. "We have substantial unemployment in the building trades here, over 20 per cent," said Carter. "This project (Blackhawk) would provide $100-million worth of jobs over 12 to 15 years." Carter conceded that few working men will be able to afford to live in the project, where houses will sell from $45,000. The labor official also acknowledges that the development will mean more traffic and taxes all around. But he criticizes the opponents as "professional people making their living in skyscrapers in San Francisco, which they've Manhattanized, who want to keep their own neighborhoods undeveloped.

You can't have it both ways." The same people, says Carter, repeatedly have turned dow public transportation proposals, "people with two or three cars." The "Save Mt. Diablo" group contends that the hired opposition tried to intimidate its members, but a Blackhawk spokesman denied this.
