The legislature then ordered that counties start providing health care for these patients. Hut the suit alleges that by 1987, the state was providing counties less than half the money it would have spent on these patients had they remained on Medi-Cal. Because of the funding shortage, the suit says, thousands of poor peo-pie in Alameda County have been denied access to medical care otherwise available to those on Medi-Cal or with private health insurance. Class action seeks health care for poor A class-action lawsuit was filed Thursday against Alameda County and tho state of California for aliened failure to provide health services to thousands of working poor people lopped off Medi-Cal rolls several years ago.

The suit, filed in Superior Court, seeks immediate Medi-Cal coverage for thousands of patients ho have not received adequate health care from Alameda County.

Police said Lamotte went to visit his ex-girlfriend, whose name was not released, at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the woman's home on the 1 100 block of Hollo-way Avenue.

The woman called police because she has a exjurt order preventing Lamotte from visiting her. Lamotte allegedly held a knife to the woman and an unidentified man ho was at the home.

Ernst Klimeek, 48, ho pleaded no contest in May to six manslaughter charges, received the maximum sentence from Superior Court Judge Edw ard Denton of Mono Coiinty. Denton called Klimeek "a pretty good guy" and said that under other circumstances the defendant might have qualified for parole, but dressed in boys' attire, the girl told police. The report said the girl identified Hambright from a photo lineup. She identified the Aquinos to her parents as "Mikey" and "Sham-by" when she spotted them during a visit to the Presidio post exchange. The report said the girl "in a frightened way.

Aquino said he and his wife did go to the PX to do some shopping during their August visit to San Francisco. 1 le said the girl could not have identified them because "neither my wife nor I have ever seen her before." "This whole thing is pretty traumatic for both of us," Aquino said, adding that he and his wife left San Francisco in July 1986 two months before the alleged molestation took place at the Aquino apartment. Aquino, however, would not say how many times he had visited The LEAF From B-1 their machines.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Robinson, who will prosecute the case when it goes to trial April 4, said he was aware of the Aquino investigation, but said he din's not know the extent of the probe. Robinson said FBI investigators are convinced that Hambright, 34, acted alone in the Presidio cases.

The Aquino investigation is the first indication that the molestation may have spread outside of the Army care center and may involve more than one person. The girl, according to a police report, said she was molested by "Mr. Gary" and then taken to a house where he filmed her in a bathtub with lion's feet. She said the home had a living room with black walls and a cross painted on the ceiling. The report said the girl was also molested by a man she called "Mikey." At the home, the two men dressed up in girls' clothing while a woman the girl called "Shamby" "Drunk driving is not merely a crime, it is a serious public safety problem," he said.

"A vehicle driven by an intoxicated person is as much a road hazard as a vehicle with defective brakes or a defective steering mechanism." The law now provides for a maximum sentence of six months in the county jail and a $1,000 fine for the first conviction. In San Francisco, said a district attorney's office spokesman, a first conviction usually means three years probation, a six-month suspended county jail sentence, a fine and a court order to attend a driving-under-the-influ-ence program.

of the club's pool facility. The rent paid to the club could go toward $3 million in renovations for the first and second floors, installation of a omen's locker room and refurbishing of the athletic facilities. Burgin said. He said the club's viability depends on being able to attract new members and to woo back media members and the renovations would help. But other members disagree.

Robert Neale, a personal property appraiser who has been a member for 20 years, says the "club is in a heap of trouble" and leasing out the top floors won't help. He said he worries the club couldn't get enough money from the lease deal to pay for renovations. Neale, ho blames part of the current troubles on the decision to admit women in the first place, said he thinks members should be assessed a one-time $1,000 fee. James Kelley, a retired political consultant and television talk show host, said he thinks the club should move to another building or share facilities with another club. Burgin said the board of directors may vote on the renovation plan as early as Friday.

If approved, the plan would force the relocation of the last 14 members who live on the upper floors. The club already has located another residence for them in the neighborhood. The rent, however, would cost about $400 a month more than the $-150 they pay now, Burgin said. While members may disagree on how to save the club, they say they think it ill be around next year for a centennial anniversary. One who plans to celebrate is a woman member who joined the club last year.

In 1957, after his name became known nationally, Mr. Pearson was awarded an honorary doctorate by Willamette College in Oregon, where he earned his bachelor's degree 30 years earlier. Born in Salem, he taught high school physics and coached basketball in eastern Oregon after college.

He left when he was accepted for advanced studies at Stanford. He went to work for Bell Telephone in 1929, and did early work with the three scientists who were awarded a Nobel Prize for developing the transistor. In his work with solar energy, Mr. Pearson worked with Calvin S. Fuller, a chemist, and Daryl M.

CLUB From B-1 filled reading room, card parlor, bar and restaurant were busy. But in the last 20 years, the building has begun to look, as one member put it, "tired." And membership has dwindled, particularly among the media. Tony Salaar, the club's general manager, estimates that less than 10 percent of the current 1,500 members are in the media, with the rest in media-related or completely different fields.

The club, which still sponsors evening programs, hosts press conferences and gives scholarships and press awards, plans to start offering special $60 media memberships, which is about $600 less than the regular annual dues. Two years ago, about 600 people left and the club last year suffered a $205,361 net loss. Half of those who resigned quit in protest over a policy that restricts the hours wom-0n can use pool facilities, according to Burgin. The club, which began admitting women as voting members in the early 1970s, allows women to use the "hydro" a pool, sauna, exercise and locker room two days a week for a few hours. The policy has lasted, Burgin said, because there is only one locker room and the men who use the pool have gotten into the habit of swimming without suits.

"The crux of the club's problem is not being able to offer equitable services," said Dave McElhatton, a KPIX news anchorman and former club president. "It divides the club symbolically." Burgin said he favors leasing out the club's hotel rooms on the third through sixth floors to the Cecil Hotel next door. Under the plan, the Cecil would knock out walls on upper floors to connect the two buildings and Cecil guests both men and women would have use Obituaries Gerald L.

Mr. Pearson died Sunday in Por-tola Valley, a week after suffering a second stroke. He was 82.

Aquino said he is currently a staff officer assigned to the U.S.

Army Reserve Personnel Center in St. Louis. Bob Mahoney, base spokesman for the Presidio, said Aquino had left the base about 16 months ago. He said Aquino worked for about two years before he left as the deputy director of reserve component support, whose responsibility it was to coordinate training for reserve personnel at the Presidio and its substations. Aquino, in an article in his organization's newsletter, "The Scroll of Set," wrote about the search and said the photos confiscated by police were actually photos of "wax: museum exhibits at the famous 'London Dungeon' museum." Zimmerman said the Aquinos plan to file a motion requesting the return of their seized property.

Oakland-Piedmont WOOPM LWPK Pet-eating coyotes are to be trapped Contra Costa County is planning to trap coyotes that reportedly have attacked house pets in the San Ramon Valley community of Diablo. Kd Meyer, the county's chief deputy agricultural commissioner, said the county would share the cost of a trapper ith the federal government and Solano County, where reports of coyote attacks also have increased. Diablo residents have complained that coyotes recently killed several cats and a puppy. The county receives five to 10 calls a month rom residents expe PRESIDIO From B-1 juvenile division Inspector Glen Pamfiloff and to Chief Frank Jordan stating his interest in cooperating. Pamfiloff headed the search of the home.

In the Aug. 28 letter to Pamfiloff, Aquino wrote that he could not see how his satanic sect could be involved since it has "worked very hard to be a decent, constructive, and responsible organization." Federal investigators looking into the Presidio case said children have identified Hambright as "Mr. Gary." Nearly 100 children have been checked since a probe began 11 months ago; as many as 58 have been identified as molestation victims. Hambright was indicted last month of "lewd and lascivious acts" involving six boys and four girls, now ages 3 through 7. The alleged crimes may have started soon after he was hired as a child attendant in spring 1985, and SOBER From B-1 made 53 drunken-driving arrests.

The roadblocks were suspended throughout the state by the high court in October 1986, because of conflicting appellate court rulings on the procedure. The court now has resolved those legal conflicts. Amitai Schwartz, the ACLU lawyer who challenged the checkpoints, argued that the sobriety test roadblocks averaged only one arrest for every 200 cars stopped, which he said was less efficient than regular patrols. But Kaufman rejected the inefficiency argument as missing the point of the checks, which is not to make arrests but to deter people from drinking and driving. honors.

His most recent award came in 1982. It was the Krupp Award, given by the Krupp Foundation of West Germany for energy research. In 1968, he was named to the National Academy of Science and Elect rical Engineering; was named a fellow of the Institute of Electronics Engineers in 1964; and was awarded the Wetherill Medal by the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1963. He retired to emeritus professor at Stanford in 1970 but stayed to teach doctoral candidates in his field until 1979. Mr.
