SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER Thur.day.June II, 1992 A-21 SEARS from A-l POLL from A-l Envoy Biominoo's dad served Nazis Nationwide poll of 1,000 people conducted June 2-4 Name recognition Ross Perot Bill Clinton George Bush No opinion rNo 3 Favorable Unfavorable Never -i 1 hpam I Unfavorable Favorable Which candidate would do a better Job in the following areas 7 '1 Bush Foreign affairs National defense Foreign trade Holding down taxes America prosperous Unemployment 1 in the Netherlands during World War II, according to CM. Schul-ten, the director of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation. Schulten said Wednesday in a telephone interview from Amsterdam that Buitenhuis was chosen from the ranks of Nazi sympathizers to serve as mayor of two towns, Schagen and Naarden. The Dutch government's official history, "Schagen in Wartime," describes Buitenhuis as one of many "opportunist mayors" who used their control of local police and courts to extort money and brutalize civilians during the war. Bitter memories linger over the years when the German army ruled the Netherlands, and a special hostility is reserved among the Dutch for their countrymen who aided the occupying forces.

He was the mayor, or burge- meester, of Schagen in the northern part of the country from Aug. 3, 1942, until the summer of 1944. A city official in Schagen said records show Buitenhuis had a son named Donald who was born July 11, 1938, in Amsterdam. Donald Alexander, who told the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee he changed his last name from Buitenhuis to Alexander to accommodate English-speaking Americans, shares the same birth date and birthplace. Alexander came to the United States after serving two years in the Dutch army medical corps.

He has a degree in marketing and fi- nance from Washburn University in Topeka. After a succession of executive jobs, he joined the Commerce Bank of Kansas City, and left in 1982 as a vice president and began to amass a personal fortune by buying and selling small Midwestern manufacturing firms. He gained his U.S. citizenship in 1974. He has been honorary consul for the Netherlands to Kansas City for 25 years.

Dvorak and Gene Meyer contributed to this report Government corruption 'Race relations 3T 10 20 SOURCE: The Analysis Group and Tarrance and Associates Perot, "at least temporarily, is the dominant force in this election." But if Perot fades and Clinton can define himself, Clinton should do better among Perot supporters than Bush, Lake said, because 71 percent of Perot voters disapprove of Bush's job performance, 87 percent want a new president, and 65 percent dislike Bush. All three candidates have very high name identification, but Perot has the highest positive ratings. While an astonishing 95 percent now say they know who Perot is, the poll also found that only 20 percent of the electorate felt they knew Perot well. And when the pollsters "pushed" Perot supporters that is, gave them additional information about Perot his support fell significantly.

Sixty-seven percent of Perot backers said they would be less like to support him when told that Perot "hired lobbyists and gave campaign contributions in order to influence a $15 million tax credit for himself a reference to Perot's lobbying of the House Ways and Means Committee in 1974 to give him a tax break for trying to rescue 30 opinion No opinion Never 1 heard of 5 Favorable Unfavorable I I Clinton 51 Perot 40 50 60 70 80 EXAMINER GRAPHICS a failing Wall Street brokerage. When people were told that Perot had once suggested that people's homes be searched without a warrant, 63 percent said they would be less likely to vote for him. When told Perot would not hire anyone who had been unfaithful to a spouse, 52 percent said they would be less likely to vote for him, and when told he had opposed the Persian Gulf war, 48 percent said they would be less likely to vote for him. When told he had helped fund the Iran-contra operations of Reagan White House aide Oliver' North, 46 percent said they would be less likely. On the other hand, the poll found that 56 percent had a positive response when told Perot supported abortion rights, 53 percent were positive in response to his proposal to reduce Social Security benefits for the wealthy, and 55 percent were positive about Perot's proposal to cut the military budget in half.

The poll reflected tremendous discontent. Some 80 percent of voters said they believed the country was moving in the wrong direc-. tion. NOLAN, Michael (Mike) J. In Redwood Shores, CA, June 8, 1992; Michael J.

VALENTE, PERATA AND CO 4140 Mission St San Francisco 33341(1 Funeral Directors i i i Two-thirds in poll want new president three-way race, 36 percent for Perot to 32 percent for Bush and 24 percent for Clinton. But Perot is still little known, and when told of recently publicized information about him, many voters who now support him said they would be less likely to do so. That finding may begin to answer the key political questions of the next few months. Will Perot fade as voters learn more about him? Or are voters projecting their hopes on him to such a degree that they won't accept information that casts him as less than pure? The survey was the third in a series conducted by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, whose partner Stanley Greenberg is Clinton's own pollster, and Republican pollster Ed Goeas, president of the Tarrance Group. Lake and Goeas jointly surveyed 1,000 registered voters nationally from June 2 to 4 and inde-' pendently analyzed the results.

The poll's margin of error is 3.1 percentage points in either direction. Clinton gets no better than 26 -percent support in any region of the country. His favorable-unfavorable ratings among women are evenly split a surprise given allegations about Clinton's marital infidelity but his unfavorable rating is 16 points higher among men. He also trails among conservative Democrats and members of labor unions, the key "Reagan Democrats" he was poised to capture until Perot came along. But Buslfis ufnolbetter shape." His approval rating has dropped 10 points since January to 38 percent, while his disapproval rating has risen 20 points during the same period, to 58 percent, with 38 percent strongly disapproving of his performance.

Worse, only 29 percent said they believed Bush deserved re-election, and the 64 percent who want a "new person" as president represent an increase of 18 points since January. Only 22 percent say they are committed to voting for him, regardless of who runs against him. "We find an embattled dent Bush still suffering from a prolonged recession," GOP pollster Goeas said, "and an even more heavily damaged Bill Clinton suffering from a primary season that was spent trying to explain away character flaws. "The question everyone seems to be asking is, 'Can H. Ross Perot win in The most honest answer today would be, Democrat Lake concluded that BROCCO, Hanry ELVANOER.MarleA.

The department will present its case to a state administrative law judge. Conran said undercover investigators, beginning in December of 1990 and working through January of this year, were misled, sold un-needed parts or otherwise cheated in 90 percent of 38 contacts with Sears repair shops.

Investigators took cars in top condition to Sears for mechanical inspections and were overcharged an average $223 each for unnecessary repairs, the department said. Sears mechanics also charged agents for work never performed, the department said. The department said it interviewed current and former Sears employees and was told managers put mechanics and other workers under intense pressure to sell specific parts and services. Investigators said some employees were required to sell a specified number of shock absorbers or struts every hour. Others were told to sell a specified number of repair services during each eight-hour shift.

In a statement released from its corporate headquarters in Chicago Thursday, the company challenged the allegations and said it will fight the charges in Superior Court, after they have been adjudicated by the state administrative law judge. "We believe that the bureau's undercover investigation was very seriously flawed and simply does not support the allegations," the company statement said. "Sears has offered automotive repair for more than 60 years. We have a hard-earned and outstanding reputation for trust with our customers." In a statement announcing the allegations, Consumer Affairs Director Conran also referred to Sears' reputation. "Sears has used trust as a marketing tool and we don't believe they've lived up to that trust," Conran said.

"We are here today to send this message to the entire automotive repair industry. If you are ripping off the consumers of the state of California, we are after you. We have zero tolerance for abuse of the public trust." The investigation included sev eral Sears auto centers in the Bay Area. In 13 visits to Sears centers in Antioch, Concord, Fairfield, Hay-ward, San Jose, San Rafael and Santa Rosa, investigators were overcharged a total of $3,268, the Bureau of Automotive Repair al leged. In most instances, investigators sought brake inspections and were told they needed to buy brake parts, shock absorbers, wheel bear ings and steering parts, investiga' tors said.

Jim Schoning, chief of the Bu reau of Automotive Repair, said his investigators used cars needing minor brake repairs. All other parts were either new or in excellent condition, Schoning said. Before taking the cars to Sears centers, all brake and suspension parts were disassembled, marked and photographed. The cars were carried by transporter to locations near the Sears centers and were then driven the short distances to the repair shops by undercover agents. Among department findings in Southern California reported by the Los Angeles Times Thursday: An undercover agent took a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon with worn brake pads to a Sears in the City of Industry for a free inspection.

The agent wound up paying $455.72 for complete replacement of front brakes and four coil springs. A 1978 Ford Thunderbird with worn front brake pads and a low brake pedal was taken to a Sears in Northridge for a brake inspection and safety check. Sears ended up charging $500.23 for new front brakes, shock absorbers, front springs and a lifetime warranty on the new parts. Estimated repairs on a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass taken to a Sears in Santa Monica with worn brake pads came to $671.93 for new front brakes, a brake rotor, front and rear shocks, four tires, an oil change and an air filter. The tab was revised to $372.26 after the undercover agent refused the tires, oil change and air filter.

Department officials said General Motors cars appeared to be more likely targets for unneeded work by Sears mechanics because they were especially easy to work New problem for Bush's choice of big GOP donor to be ambassador to the Netherlands By Scott Canon and Andrew Miller KANSAS CITY STAR Donald H. Alexander, the Bush administration's choice as U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands, is the son of a man who collaborated with the Nazis while the Dutch were under German occupation. The businessman's diplomatic appointment was delayed this week amid questions about his $100,000 contribution to the Republican Party shortly before President Bush tapped him for the job. Alexander, of Kansas City, declined to return phone calls Wednesday.

The White House had no statement, and a spokesman for the Netherlands Embassy in Washington declined comment. What further effect the latest revelation about Alexander might have on his nomination is unclear. Supporters noted that Alexander, 53, was 6 years old when World War II ended. Republican Sen. John Danforth of Missouri said the disclosure should not harm his chances for confirmation.

"The sins of the parents should not be visited on children," Dan-. forth said. Werner Warmbrunn, a Jew who escaped from the Netherlands 10 months after the German occupation, said Bush's choice of Alexander holds the potential for offending the Netherlands. "The Dutch still have very strong feelings about the war. It is not a closed chapter in Holland," said Warmbrunn, the author of "The Dutch Under German Occupation." Alexander's father, the late Titus Buitenhuis, was a member of -the Dutch National Socialist Party that carried out the Nazis' bidding 1 1 William S.

Mailliard Former congressman By Lon Daniels OF THE EXAMINER STAFF William S. the moderate Republican who represented portions of San Francisco and Marin County in the House of Representatives from 1952 until 1972, died Wednesday on his 75th birthday after suffering a heart at-' tack in Washington, D.C. Mr. Mailliard took ill as he and his wife, William Mailliard Millicent, were preparing to fly to the West Coast to celebrate his birthday with family members at the Mailliard Ranch in Mendocino County. At the close of his congressional career, Mr.

Mailliard was the ranking minority member of the House -Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Foreign Affairs committees. "In his comportment, (Mr. Mailliard) was an aristocrat, reminding one of a California version of (the late diplomat) Henry Cabot Lodge," said pollster Mervin Field. "He did not serve a during a time' of turbulence, but rather during an era when everything was growing economicly and when the state and the area made no small plans." A third-generation San Franciscan, Mr. Mailliard was born in" 1917 in Belvedere.

He attended Tamalpaia School in San Rafael, the Taft School in Watertown, and Yale University, where he received his A in 1939. Mr. Mailliard had a notable military career during World War II, during which he served 35 months of combat duty in the Pacific, and was the recipient of numerous campaign ribbons as well as the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit-and the Bronze Star. He first campaigned for con gress in the heavily Democratic 4th District in 1948, but lost by 4,809 i votes to the incumbent Democrat-' Franck Havenner. Congressman Mailliard served I A "Death Notices as a delegate to the United Nations during the Kennedy administration.

Following a 1973 reapportionment, he resigned from Congress to accept an appointment from President Gerald Ford as ambassador to the Organization of Ameri can States. He worked closely with the late Rep. Phil Burton in creating the Golden National Recreation Area, a feat that Mr. Mailliard once said was the accomplishment of which he was most proud. Survivors include his wife, Millicent; children William S.

Mailliard Jr. of Petaluma; Antoinette Mailli ard of San Francisco; Henry Ward Mailliard of Watsonville; Knstma Mailliard of Santa Rosa; Julia Ward Mailliard of Washington, D.C; Josephine Mailliard Fleming of Arlington, and Victoria Leigh Mailliard of Connecticut; and six grandchildren.
