Despite the break, operations chief Bill Holmes warned the troops against letting their guard down. 1 "We have to get as much containment as possible in case the wind comes up again," he said.

Fire crews, acquainted with the vicious unpredictability of the winds in the hill country, took Holmes' warning to heart. Steve Iverson, Forestry Department planning coordinator, said that no additional homes were threatened as of Tuesday night Smoke trapped The only drawback to Tuesday's weather in which a temperature inversion cooled the air at ground level was that smoke was trapped at low altitudes. The resulting poor visibility forced the grounding of eight aerial tankers that had helped slow the fire's march Monday. Gov. Deukmejian proclaimed a state of emergency in the counties affected by the fire, paving the way for state tax relief for fire victims and loans and federal disaster aid.

Steven A. Capps, Vicki Haddock and Craig Marine of The Examiner staff, the McClatchy News Service and other Examiner news services contributed to this report. Man who burned toilet paper blamed for fire EXAMINER NEWS SERVICES GRASS VALLEY. Nevada County r-The fire that incinerated almost 100 Mother Lode homes has been blamed on a transient who carelessly burned used toilet paper, but local officials say they are investigating the possibility that unknown arsonists may be partly responsible for the blaze. Loren Poore.

the state Depart ment of Forestry's deputy chief of law enforcement, said Tuesday that a total of three blazes might have merged to become the devastating 49er Fire. "Actuallv. we re looking into the possibility that there were two oth er fires after the first one, he said. "We're looking into the possibility that two of them could have been set." A man identified as Gary Parris was cited after the fire started Sun day under a section of California's Public Resources Code for "unlawfully causing a fire." Parris was living in an abandoned cabin off the highway near the point where the fire was first seen. "My investigators tell me there was no plumbing in the cabin," Poore said.

"He'd been using the bushes for his personal needs, and there was a lot of toilet paper around. He said he'd been cleaning up the place, and he, decided to burn it. He was very apologetic about it." Craig Marine of The Examiner staff and Examiner news services' contributed to this report siders in the scientific community, he has been largely ignored by Reagan. Dukakis will "rely heavily" on advice from scientists, said his assistant director of issues, Nancy Soderberg, in an interview. Already, she said, Dukakis has "come out strongly in favor of reviving the National Aeronautics and Space Council; it's a cabinet-level position (President John) Kennedy used very strongly." Republican officials couldn't be reached for comment.

FIRE from A-1 Fire crews choke Mother Lode blaze turned to his rideetoD ranch house to find it miraculously untouched by fire. He looked at the blackened landscape and said: "I think I had enough of country living. Forecaster Randy Hartley of the National Weather Service said the terrible northeast winds of the past few days have died down to pntle breezes. Forestry officials said they expect full containment and control soon at the fire in commercial timber country along the Klamath River in Del Norte County, and control was expected Thursday at the blaze in the rugged Lost Coast wilderness above Shelter Cove in Humboldt County. Firefighters had the upper hand Thursday at the fire that burned one inactive geo-thermal facility above Geyserville.

Helicopter ferries Helicopters ferried fire crews to the fire in the parched hills near Kumsey in oio vouniy. "The maior factor that helped us out today was that we didn't have a lot of erratic winds, said Erin Connelly, spokeswoman for the California Department ot forestry at the mine fire camp in the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. 'They started to die down and behave normally." Unfortunately, light winds tailed to dissipate the pall of smoke that reduced visibility in Kough and Readv to less than 3 miles and lent an orange glow to the sunset skies of the Bay Area. SCIENCE from A-l Scientists reach for voice in policy ation for the Advancement of Sci ence in Washington, D.C. Basic scientific research may seem esoteric, yet scientists say it's a key to the health of the American economy.

Whether the next president is Republican George Bush or Demo crat Michael Dukakis, he 11 face a lone line of sunerproiects costing billions of tax dollars, from the ''Star Wars" anti-missile project to the space station to the world big gest atom smasher. He'll also face a swelling popula tion of AIDS patients in desperate need of treatments and tederal cash to pay for those treatments; many high-tech military projects including the "invisible" stealth bomber and an "airplane" that can flv to orbit and back; and a plan to map every gene in the human body. Hell also face global environmental woes, including a "greenhouse effect" that may be warming Earth's climate, threatening to bake crops and to flood coastlines; acid rain that is ruining lakes and forests across North America; and a deteriorating ozone layer that could trigger a wave of skin cancers. Political science In a recent letter to both candidates, leading scientific societies said that what was needed was a presidential science adviser who was "a distinguished scientist or engineer who would enjoy not only the confidence of the president but the respect and trust of the science and technology community." "Science is part of the greater political process now," Trivelpiece said. "Scientists just need to be more politically aware and to watch out for their interests I don't mean in a grubby, mean, pork-barrel-chasing sense but (rather) in a sense of what's right for the na- $9 million in damage The forecast offers scant relief to owners of the 92 rustic homes and 67 other structures reduced to rubble during the three-day inferno that blackened an estimated 33,540 acres in western Nevada County, caused at least $9 million in damage and prompted the evacuation of about 8,000 foothill residents from the homes that many had considered an escape from urban life.

"As far as I know, we have allowed everyone who wants to return home to do so," said forestry spokesman Steve Iverson. The 2,727 firefighters continued to bulldoze firebreaks, slash brush and drop retardant within the 90- mue perimeter oi me oig ure. una temrjorarv armv of 40 hand crews, 239 engine crews, 52 bulldozers, eight air tankers and 10 helicopters. Officials said the fire could be fully surrounded, or contained, by Thursday and under complete control by sundown Friday. Wind slows down As of Wednesday morning, winds had dropped to a tranquil 5 mph.

Twenty-four hours earlier, winds gusting to 40 mph stoked the fire and helped it jump contain- tion." The scientists' letter, released in August, cites a "need for a coherent science and technology policy (comine) from the White House." It came from heads of 23 scientific and engineering societies representing more than 750,000 scientists includine the American Physi cal Society and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. And indeed, this year "the Re publican platform includes the lengthiest and most detailed science plank either party has authored in recent history," Science magazine says. The GOP is backing big-ticket soectaculars such as the Supercon ducting Super Collider or SSC, the ultimate atom smasher that will reveal underlying secrets of nature; a manned mission to Mars by the 21st century; and a manned space station. In contrast, the Democratic platform talks a lot about research on environmental issues such as ozone damage, the greenhouse effect and deforestation. Dukakis has personally expressed support for a manned space station.

The Reaean record The scientists' letter citing the need for a "distinguished" science adviser who enjoys the scientific community's "respect and trust" is an apparent allusion to President Reagan controversial science advisers, George Keyworth and William Graham. Keyworth was a little-known laser physicist who became a vehement advocate of Reagan's SDI missile program, which has been attacked as unworkable and costly by many members of the scientific community particularly physicists. And Graham was in charge of NASA when the Challenger space shuttle exploded in January 1986. He was shifted to the White House post, where, according to some in- BECKER, Diane Frances (nee Elich) In Sept 11,1988: dear aunt of Margaret Cobb and her husband, Jim Cobb; beloved grand-aunt and great-grandaunt; born in S.F., Oct. 27, 1915.
