Moscone said he will also 1 the creation of a new department of transportation to handle street and transit operations under one roof He reminded the board that studies are now underway regarding possible fare increases on the Municipal Railway, and that he has instituted a program requiring performance standards of Muni On crime, Moscone asked the board to cooperate In spreading the Mayor Moscone this afternoon' wekoraed the new district-elected Board of Supervisors with open arms and a seven-point legislative program (or the year ahead. The mayor began by stressing "the need for cooperation between our two branches of government" and he ended his 12-page address to the newly formed legislative branch by remarking: "We must not allow our relationship to degenerate Into a battle of one-upsman-ship, empty rhetorical gestures or political gamesmanship." Moscone said he looked forward to working with the board on the problems facing our city -which be outlined as housing, Jobs, economic development, law enforcement, public transportation, the elimination of red tape In building permits and more efficient city budgeting.

Moscone announced that he will soon present new legislation "designed to discourage" speculation in residential properties. With this will be a proposal for home ownership assistance through down work of the Safety Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) program in neighborhoods, and to continue to fund civilian replacements for uniformed of fleers. The mayor also said perhaps the most serious problem facing San Francisco is that of unemployment" He urged the board to help expand the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) program, now employing about 5,100 In The City. He urged the board to continue to cooperate In the development of performance budgeting by The City, a rather technical readjust ment of city fiscal procedures now undergoing Its $1 million study. In closing, Moscone acknowledged that he didn't expect the board to agree with him in everything, calling that an "unhealthy development." "I will always be taking Into account the reality with which you as well as 1 must deal," he said.

point Supervisors: A different kind of board sets up shop here i' A -uM if Feinstein after vote Intends to tighten up on board rules against members impugning each others' characters in public and limiting debate oh specific Issues to .10 minutes. She also promised to discourage the board's traditional late night meetings. Key committee assignments probably would be made tomorrow morning, Feinstein said. Mayor Moscone, who later was to present the board with his seven-point 1978 legislative program, told the new board and audience, "I'm pleased to be around at such an historic experiment." In remarks prepared for when the board returned to its first regular meeting later in the afternoon, Moscone warned against indulging in "one-upsmanship, empty rhetorical gestures or political gamesmanship." His legislative proposals were aimed at what he called The City's major problems, Including housing, jobs, economic development, law enforcement, public transportation, and the City Hall bureaucracy. In the other politically significant action of the day, a lottery determined that Feinstein, Hutch, Silver, White and Kopp would get four-year terms while Lau, Molinari, Milk, Gonzales, Dolson and Pelosi would serve two years each.

The different terms were approved in ballot propositions approved twice by San Francisco voters setting up the district election system which replaced The City's long-standing method of electing supervisors Feinstein's term as president is for two years. The new board brings to City Hall a range of legislators perhaps unmatched in San Francisco history in their diversity. Included among the 11 lawmakers are the first black woman supervisor, the first who has publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, the board's first unwed mother, its first elected Chinese-American and its first former fireman. The new supervisors: Ella Hill Hutch, District 4 (Western Addition-Lower Polk Gulch). The daughter of a Baptist minister from Klssimmee, Hutch has long been active in civil rights issues here, is a member of the BART board and former member of the Democratic Central Committee.

A longtime staff member of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, she is closely aligned with the so-called Burton machine that has dominated San Francisco politics for years. Harvey Milk, District 5 (Haight-Noe Valley). Milk, 47, is one of the nation's two or three most powerful gay politicians. An unsuccessful candidate for the board in 1973 and 1975, Milk coasted to victory In November with a broad range of support, including the local labor movement A native of Long Island, he was dishonorably discharged as a Navy officer for being gay. He runs a camera store in the Castro-Market area and is considered one of the most liberal on the new board.

Milk, accompanied by 150 supporters, walked from his Castro Street store to City Hall this morning on the arm of Jack Lira, 24. Milk introduced him as "my lover, my partner In life." Milk was greeted on the City Hall steps by Moscone and State Sen. Milton Marks. A swearing-in for Milk, Lau, Hutch and Silver was held there. Milk, who said he thought San Francisco would survive his walk to City Hall, said he and Lira had lived the board's youngest member.

He quit his fireman's job and says he and his wife will live on the supervisor's pay, supplemented by her teacher's salary. White, a conservative, is an airborne veteran of Vietnam, was a high school sports star in the Visitacion Valley Portola area, and also a former San Francisco policeman. Lee S. Dolson, District 9 (Merced-Bernal-Diamond Heights).

himself a former supervisor, the I new board moved quickly to the election of the president, consid-: ered second in power only to the mayor and the chief administrative officer. When Kopp opened nominations, Hutch immediately nominated Feinsteln, which drew both applause and boos and hisses from the packed audience. White second-1 ed the nomination, saying, "Dianne Feinsteln has shown me she is interested In all the people." Molinari, starting his third term on the board, then nominated Lau to boisterous applause, causing Kopp again to gavel the crowd and admonish them: "This Is not a political convention." Like Hutch, Molinari spoke of "a new era," and said of Lau: "We must have a leader who can bridge the gap between the old board and the new board." Seconding Lau's nomination, Silver added, "We need a new sense someone who can represent all the minorities, all the factions." After the vote, Gonzales, on the losing side, asked for the traditional unanimous vote but was thwarted by Milk and Silver. Gonzales and Pelosi, the senior members of the board, then escorted Feinstein to the podium where she drew hisses when she said to the crowd, "I'll appreciate your during the balance of these proceedings." "We're on the brink of a new day," the new board president said, i "and I want that day to be a sunny one It's a new day, but we're doing this for all the people of San Francisco." i Feinstein said as president she Tides pound From Page 1 started to rise at Aptos and at nearby Capitola, 100 soldiers from Fort Ord arrived to fill sandbags to protect houses in the area. Santa Cruz County Administrator Bob Nyman said an all-night effort was made to persuade the Army to help sandbag the beachfront.

Finally, at 5 a.m. today the effort succeeded, with the intervention of U.S. Rep. Leon Panetta, D-Carmel Valley, said Nyman. He said he had been sleepless the last 30 hours.

Rain continued to drench most of California last night and today, and rough seas caused widespread damage, from Aptos to Capitola to Malibu. The National Weather Service said more than an inch of rain fell on many Northern California locations through 5 a.m. today with 1.73 inches at Ukiah alone. Red Bluff had 1.09 inches, the I Marin Civic Center 1.14, other Marin stations even more, and Eureka had .80 of an inch. All were well over normal seasonal rainfall.

The government told the court: "To be sure, the present tax system still contains some disparities. But given the inherent complexity of the problem, the taxing scheme Congress adopted in 1948 and refined in 1969, while not perfect, nevertheless satisfies the requirements of due process and equal protection." fORECAST to 7AM 1ST I -10-71 3000 29.77 2950 LrV.ltHOW 'L0W S.F. temperatures Dwntn Arpt 57 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 Dwntn Arpt 58 58 58 58 58 59 62 60 6 a.m. 7 a m. 8 a m.

San Francisco police reported flooding at such intersections as Junipero Serra Boulevard and Winston Drive in Stonestown, Second Avenue and Lincoln Way in the Sunset, Polk Street and Golden Gate Avenue, and at Eighth and Harrison streets in the South of Market area. The last two miles of the Summit Road to Mount Diablo in the East Bay were closed when a 30-foot section collapsed and slid down the mountain today after an all-night rain.

High tides north of Half Moon Bay, in the vicinity of Miramar, slopped surf water over Highway 1 (the Coast Highway) at that point and motorists were urged to proceed cautiously. A cave-in closed the same highway in the high accident Devil's Slide area south of Pacifica Saturday and cars were rerouted over Highway 92 until today. Brian Steen, a National Forest Service technician at Big Sur, said above homes along the Ventura at least a half-dozen spots on the Coast Highway were made hazardous from rock and mudslides. He said a 30-mile stretch of the Big Sur area was affected. Steen reported 1.8 Inches of rain overnight in Big Sur.

Today's skies were overcast and visibility on the highway was poor, he said. "There's a problem of mudslides at any time," he said. "Motorists should use (U.S.) 101 if they can."

It was expected to head south with another deluge Wednesday night and Thursday in Northern California.
