SOURCE: EXAMNER STAFF REPORT "Willie Brown is a consummate politician," Field said.

"He has an opportunity to make capital out of the verdict I could see him saying things that resonate with the majority view in this case, that J. was guilty, and he got off and that he wants to make sure the problems in the LAPD and the L.A. district attorney's office aren't going to be problems in San Francisco." Could backfire in S.F. The potentially volatile race issue has not come up in the San Francisco mayor's race, in which Brown's three leading opponents Mayor Frank Jordan, Roberta Achtenberg and Angela Alioto are white. Political experts say that in a city such as San Francisco, where minorities are the majority of the population, any hint of racism in a campaign could backfire.

Field said that San Francisco voters, on the whole, were too sophisticated to be driven by prejudice. "The degree of voter interest on the issues, whether it's Matrix or taxes, is greater here than in other cities," he said. "That's where the attention is." examiner procedures MCCLATCHY NEWS 8ERVKX SACRAMENTO Dick Jur gens, a composer and orchestra leader who was considered one of the greats of the big band era, died of cancer Thursday in Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento.

Jurgens got his Btart as a trumpet player in the basement ballroom of the Travelers Hotel Dick Jurgens in downtown Sacramento.

At one time during World War II, Mr. Jurgens had three tunes simultaneously on the old Lucky Strike Hit Parade. He was a co-writer of "Elmer's Tune," "One Dozen Roses" and "Careless," each of which achieved hit status.

His theme song, which he wrote instead of taking a final exam for a music course at what was then Sacramento Junior College, was "Daydreams Come True at Night" During the 1930s and 1940s, the 15-member Dick Jurgens Orchestra performed on nationwide radio broadcasts from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The band also performed at the Palladium in Hollywood, Avalon Casino on Catalina Island, Clare-mont Hotel in Oakland and Statler Hotel in New York City.

Course Ko Million Dollar Ccndos No Dues The Perfect Place to Retire Ottering complete cremation services (800) 400-5888 to O.J But political fallout 1 unlikely, experts say By Rachel Gordon OF THE EXAMNER STAFF Mayoral contender Willie Brown says it didn't take long after jurors in the 0 J.

Simpson double-murder trial rendered their not guilty verdicts for the racist calls to start pouring in to his campaign headquarters. The first African American to have a shot at becoming mayor of San Francisco, Brown says he's received a number of hate calls, presumably from whites angry that Simpson walked free. But will that anger translate into how people vote for mayor in the Nov. 7 election? Political experts up and down the state Bay that is doubtful but possible. "If there are any people who will vote against Willie Brown because of this, their numbers are small said Rich DeLeon, chairman of the Political Science Department at San Francisco State.

"You have to count up the number of people who had been predisposed to vote for Willie Brown, but who changed their minds after the verdict and became vengeful. "You might get that happening more in L.A. or in Cleveland," he said. "But San Francisco and San Franciscans are just plain different The City has a reputation of open-mindedness." Brown said Thursday that he did have some concern that the outcome of the Simpson case could hurt him come Election Day, "but not enough to be alarmed about. The people who made those calls probably arent the ones who were going to vote for me, anyway.

I do have some fear, however, that they may be more militant than they would have been in terms of turning out to vote." Revenge In privacy? Melvin Oliver, director of the Center for the Study of Urban Poverty at UCLA, said the verdict could work against Brown or any other black office-seeker. In the privacy of a polling booth, he said, "some (non-black) people could be thinking, 'You've won this one. Now, I'm going to make sure you don't win any California pollster Mervin Field, who's based in San Francisco, said the verdict also could have the opposite effect, if it had any bearing at all on the election. Maybe, said Field, people will look at another issue in the Simpson trial particularly the racist remarks of retired Los Angeles Detective Mark Fuhrman and turn to a candidate like Brown as someone who will aggressively attack racism.

icai lab ighten FROM EXAMINER STAFF AND WWE REPORTS In the wake of the J. Simoson trial, staffers at the San Francisco medical examiner's office will be increasing their use of protective gear to prevent evidence from being contaminated at the crime scene and in the laboratory. Dr. Boyd Stephens, San Francisco's chief medical examiner, said he had watched with alarm as Simpson's defense team exposed sloppy evidence-handling in the Los Angeles Police Department crime lab. When Stephens looked at his own shop, he said, he realized how easily blood samples saved for DNA testa could be contaminated.

Now, his staff pays closer attention to keeping blood samples separate and changes latex gloves before handling each specimen. Stephens said Thursday that using disposable gloves and other protective gear shoe covers, jump suits, hair covers and face John.

10 days in court or the wrong person going to jail?" he asked Stephens said the use of some sophisticated tests such as DNA analysis put new demands on the people who collected and handled evidence. "In the old days, the best we could do with a bloodstain was look for the blood type and maybe a couple of enzymes, and it didn't matter if skin cells or hairs (from staff members) fell in," Stephens said. "Today, if we are analyzing a bloodstain with 1,000 red cells, it may only contain a fairly small number of white blood cells. We can't do a DNA analysis off red blood cells. So anything that contaminates that stain can become quite critical.".
