Eighty percent enl to county where crime was committed. Lot Angeles County: 12,700. Orange County: 1,304. San Bernardino County: 1,475. San Diego County: 1,933.

"Between the cost of gas and meals and setting everything up," said John Grimes, 63, "it is hell trying to get a sick man to Martinez." Vets still remember when a bureaucratic mix-up on a Martinez trip cost a local man his life. In March 1985, Donald A. Sauer, a World War II Navy vet, was supposed to be taken from Redding to Martinez in a VA ambulance brought up for a special trip Sauer, 62, was too ill to make the regular station wagon journey. Because of mechanical troubles with the ambulance and administrative wrangling in Martinez, Sauer was twice loaded and un there is no known clearinghouse to record deaths related to sniffing white-out, roughly 110 people mostly teen-agers died after inhaling the chemical during the 1960s. "In virtually every case, police have found the bottles nearby or the telltale residue on the person's hands or mouth," said Lisa Wagner, counsel to the Legislature's Committee on Public Safety.

There were five deaths in New Mexico between 1979 and 1984, three in the Bay Area over the last four years and several recent incidents in Southern California, Wagner said. "It seems to have replaced gasoline sniffing as the household product of choice for abuse," she said. White-out is most commonly gleton to be assimilated. Singleton has no relatives in the area and no Job. Antloch police Chief Leonard Herendeen said he was notified about three weeks ago of the move, expressed concern and challenged parolo officials, but had no control over the decision.

"I guess that's flattering. But San Pablo has a good police department. Send him there," said Herendeen. "We should be responsible for our citizens who become criminals. But I don't want parolees brought from all over," Herendeen said.

"I asked them, 'Why he said. Asked why Singleton was not In San Pablo, Regional Parole Administrator Ron Chun said, "Well, he's from there and we know they don't want him back." Antioch Mayor Joel Keller called it "outrageous decision" and wrote an angrily worded letter to the Department of Corrections asking for a reversal. Democratic Assemblyman Phil Iscnberg, who represents Antioch, also sent a letter last week promising "vigorous opposition" and chid-ed the state for its reasoning. "The stated reason is that the Antioch Police Department has a good police force," Isenberg's letter said. "It seems ironic that the citizens of Antioch should be put at risk because the city has a good police department This parole could hurt your release policy and I urge you to reconsider before it becomes a major public embarrassment" But Edward Veit, deputy director of the Department of Corrections parole division, said there is no indication that Singleton's home will change when he Is released April 25.

There have been other recent unsuccessful outcries. Bunyard, convicted of second-degree murder, kidnapping and several other charges in a two-day crime spree that ended in a shoot-out with Merced police, was paroled to San Jose a year ago amid complaints by infuriated residents, the mayor and police who grumbled that they were not notified. Although the crime was committed in Merced, parole officials said he was not paroled there because he had no affiliation with the county. They, however, also did not want to return him to San Francisco, his last place of residence, because of McCLOUD, Clifford J. In S.F..

Tom Pearson of the VFW post In Palo Cedro, said: 'The new criteria is distance how far a vet has to travel to get to a hospital.

The aver-; age distance for a veteran in the U.S. is 29 miles. In the East it's 19. Ours is 215 miles." To deal with long distances, local vets in 1985 raised more than $20,000 to set up a homemade ferry service. With the help of Sacred Heart Catholic 'Church, Moose Lodge 509, the Sons of Italy and local VFW and American Legion posts, the Shasta County Veterans Council bought an Oldsmobile for regular trips between Redding and the Bay Area.

The station wagon makes half a dozen trips a month, leaving early in the morning from the Anderson VFW post. "We have four dedicated drivers, giving up their own. time, knowing it'll be 14 to 18 hours before they get back," explained Dick Brown, 74, coordinator of the project The station wagon also carries the county color guard for funerals, and Korean War vet Jim Lewis joked: "That's why we got a station wagon. You can fold down the seat and make a hearse out of it drive it right down to the cemetery." A run to the VA in Martinez, Ft Miley or Menlo Park costs $60 to $65 a trip, said Brown, and the insurance is $200 a year. Pearson nodded, saying, "I still think the government ought to pick that up." Vets from Post 9650 have argued they shouldn't have to shell out so FUMES FromB-1 chemicals used in white-out can cause brain damage or even death if used in strong concentrations.

The chemicals are also known as TCA, and trichloroethylene, TCE, which is used in white-out to hasten drying. Robert Giovacchini, vice president in charge of product integrity for the Gillette Co. which produces a brand of correction fluid said Stirling's legislation focuses unduly on a single product and not any of the other products abusers could use to get high. "This is a people problem," he said. "Not a product problem." Although legislative consultants say ELECT From B-1 istrar's counter.

Patterson, 42, who has been working in the registrar's office since 1971 and has been registrar since 1980, gets up at 5 a.m. on election day, usually to the ringing of a telephone. "By 6 a.m., I'm hearing from election workers who are calling to say they won't be able to show up or work," Patterson says. "I've got 75 people lined up as replacements, and I hope 50 of liem show up." The pinch hitters get at least $49 for the day, more if they are sent out to work at a precinct Inspectors, the people in charge at each precinct, are paid up to $66, depending upon their efficiency. "Every person in a precinct gets a $5 bonus if their precinct is error-free," Patterson said.

He expects an average of only 100 votes to be cast at each precinct Tuesday. Patterson and his aides assign 2,100 workers to 543 precincts generally four to a precinct and employ 100 more at his office in City Hall. There actually are 544 precincts in the 5th Congressional but one precinct, No. 2101, South of Market, has only 75 voters registered, and they all vote absentee. If a precinct has fewer than 100 voters registered, it's called a mail ballot precinct, under the State Elections Code, and everyone in the precinct votes by mail.

There's a mail ballot precinct in the 6th Congressional District too, No. 4789 on Lyon Street across from the Presidio wall. That precinct has 19 registered voters in it: Nine Democrats, nine Republicans and one person who is listed as "miscellaneous." Fourteen people have been working at a warehouse, assembling voting devices, delivering tables, chairs and booths to the polling stations. The polls open at 7 a.m., close at 8 p.m., and the ballots require only one decision. So the votes should be counted and the results announced early, right? Not necessarily, says the always careful Patterson, whose caution is based on his years of experience.

"It still takes time to get things wrapped up at the polls," the regis- a 7' i will no longer have to travel 215 loaded for the trip. A physician in Martinez refused to accept him as a patient over the weekend and had the ambulance stopped by the Highway Patrol in Willows about halfway to Martinez and sent back to Red Bluff. Sauer was supposed to be admitted to Martinez Monday, but he died Sunday morning after his third seizure in as many days. 'This was a screw-up by the VA," said Grimes. "Nobody else was responsible." Local vets arent saying Sauer's death is the reason they're getting their clinic, but Grimes pointed out that the tragedy of someone dying while trying to make It to Martinez "let them know what we're up abused by teen-agers ranging from 12 to 15 years, according to Wagner.

American youths are not the only ones to discover white-out as a "high. 'There's quite an extensive problem in Australia, Mexico, Wales and England," Wagner said. "Mostly among young adolescents. Incidents among older teens are rare." Warren the Ventura County coroner, said the compounds in white-out were once used as medical anesthesia. 'The wrong amount can cause heart standstill and other irregularities," Lovell said, adding that if a youth uses a paper or plastic bag to inhale the compound, the sudden loss of oxygen can be fatal.

"Experimenting with this stuff special election for the 5th Congressional District seat on June 23, 1983 after Phillip Burton died. "Sala Burton had only token opposition and still got only 55 percent of the vote," Patterson said. "And the turnout was only 29.4 percent of the registered voters." Chief Deputy Registrar Ross Travis came to work for Patterson in 1985 after 13 years with the registrar of voters in Alameda County. Has he discerned any differences from one side of the Bay to the other? "San Francisco has a unique environment and a unique set of people," Travis replied carefully. "Politics in San Francisco is much more intense." hit the tank, the Sacramento fire department said.

Protests by San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery and citizens prompted of-v, ficlals to say they would move out of San Jose, but instead of mov-," ing him out of town they moved him to another part of the city. McEnery called for changes In the decision process and called the parole board a "crazy bureaucrat, cy." When Bunyard violated his pa- role by visiting another county -without permission, he was return- ed to prison for six months, then' sent back to San Jose in February, The parole of convicted child kidnapper Kenneth Parnell in 1 April 1985 also stirred angry feel-' ings among Berkeley residents, 1 considered to be a tolerant commu.

Stayner lived with his abductor as a son for nearly seven years be- fore he escaped from Parnell's cab-' in shortly after the second boy was kidnapped. Although state would have put Parnell in Ukiah, his last town of residence, parole officials said under the exceptions, rule, Ukiah was too close to young; Timothy's family. Chun said Berkeley was selected because "we thought Berkeley was a progressive and tolerant kind of city that could handle that kind of case."

Vets from the area agree that treatment at Martinez has been excellent, for the most part.

"We've had three vets from our post go in," said Palo Cedro's Pearson, "and they said it was absolutely great" For its Redding operation, the government anticipates a staff of two doctors, two nurses and four office personnel. The location of the clinic hasn't been decided options include Shasta General Hospital and offices on Court Street But location doesn't matter all that much, said the vets at least they've got themselves a clinic.

But the people who manufacture white-out say that they have taken appropriate measures to keep their products out of the hands of children.

Most bottles are clearly marked with warnings that contents are not to be inhaled for undue lengths of time or left in the hands of children. Some companies have started treating their products with mustard in the hope that its scent will be enough to dissuade children from attempting to inhale it But in the end, manufacturers say, parents and the children themselves must prevent misuse of the product I Funerals BIELSKI.MafrAI.ee CRANDALL.
