S.F. Sunday Examiner Chronicle Jan. 2, 1983 wa-jwrR B7 Last-minute appointments are a time-honored political tradition In 19(i6 Brown named 82 judges and numerous board members before he was replaced by Reagan. When succeeded in turn by Pat Brown's son in 1974, only two days before he moved out of Sacramento, Reagan appointed or promoted a dozen new judges and left few vacanck-s for his successor. As soon as he took office, Jerry Brown withdrew 43 nonjudicial appointments awaiting confirmation.

Among many others, he named two legislative secretaries to Superior Court judgeships, his press secretary to the PUC, his private secretary to a seat on the California Youth Authority board and another secretary to the state Industrial Accident Commission. Warren's successor, Republican Goodwin Knight, tried to name as many Judges as possible when he was succeeded in 1958 by Democrat Pat Brown. Capitol summary By Lynn Ludlow Examiner staff writer When ho tucked a first cousin's name into his last-minute appointments, Gov. Brown was following an unhallowed tradition. Nothing prevents the outgoing governor from naming relatives, staff members, pals, friends of friends, former legislators, ex-associates and party functionaries.

By appointing insurance broker Harold C. Brown Jr. to a seat on the Marin County Board of Supervisors, Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown pursued a family precedent In 19t0, In a similar rush of appointments just before he left Sacramento, Gov. Edmund G.

"Pat" Brown elevated his brother, Harold C. Brown from the Municipal Court bench to the Court of Appeal. This outraged Republicans and prompted proposals for constitutional amendments that would put a stop to such doings. The reform talk ended soon after the proponents realized that the new restrictions would begin with their own governor, Ronald Reagan. The pattern goes back a long way.

In the 19th century, patronage was seen as an inalienable right of the victors, to whom, they said, belonged the spoils. Don't waste your gunpowder, they said, on dead ducks. Politiciaas on the verge of leaving office became known as lame ducks. But when reforms in California protected some government jobs with fixed terms that lame-duck governors couldn't break into, the result was a mixed metaphor called "deathbed appointments." Jerry Brown was born in 1938, a year of triumph for Democrats. Frank Merriam, the Republican who replaced the late James "Sunny Jim" Rolph, was about to be succeeded by state Sen.

Cuthbert Olson, who was the first (and only) Democrat in the governor's mansion between 1899 and 1958. Those were days when patronage, far more than money, was the mother's milk of politics. Merriam handed out 670 positions in 1937 alone. Just before he left office, Merriam named his secretary, Mark Megladdery, to the Superior Court bench in Alameda County. Earlier he had appointed his stepson, Clark Day, as manager of the State Compensation Insurance Fund.

An ardent reformist, Olson objected to the deathbed list until he took office. As he cleaned out his desk after being defeated in 1942 by Earl Warren, a Republican, Olson ignored the protests of Republicans. Because his predecessor's own deathbed appointments had expired, this gave Olson a chance to fill two seats on the Railroad Commission, now the PUG He also named his executive secretary, a 32-year-old lawyer named Stanley Mosk, to the Superior Court bench In Los Angeles. All this naturally outraged the Republicans, including a San Mateo assemblyman named Harrison Call. He wanted to change the coastitution: "My proposed amendment will terminate the appointing power of an outgoing governor the moment that the secretary of state certifies the election of another person for that post.

This will do away with the practice of paying political or quasi-personal pbligatioas by last-minute state appointments." The proposal died. Call, defeated later in a bid for statewide office, would himself be appointed an assistant attorney general. Some appointments were successful; others weren't Megladdery, Merriam's secretary, would serve on the bench for 17 days, then quit after Warren accused him of taking a bribe in return for a pardon; he went to jail on bad-check charges. Day, Merriam's stepson, was implicated in a scandal involving state compensation funds, although he was never convicted. Mosk, however, was elected state attorney general and named in 1964 an associate justice of the state Supreme Court.

Warren, like most incoming governors, promptly withdrew all 21 names that Olson had put forward. Warren said he, too, would support a bill that would prevent an outgoing governor from "hamstringing the governor ho is to succeed him." More than a decade slipped by before Warren, on the verge of assuming a new job as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, would have a chance to make some deathbed apK)intments.

Mr. Miller died Wednesday in his Alameda home. He was 91. A native of San Francisco, he moved to Alameda as a young man. An officer in the field artillery in World War he was a graduate of St Mary's CoHoro in civil engineering.

A liberal, he worked as a volunteer in the drive to repeal Prohibition, and then was elected president of the Alameda County Non-partisan League, which advocated consolidation of the governments of Oakland and Alameda County, after the form of San Francisco's government. This political start led him to run for the Asseriibly, where he served two terms before retiring to run for a seat on the Alameda County Board of Super visors. Failing, he was instead selected as secretary of the state FLsh and Game Commission. He had been chairman of the FLsh and Game Committee of the Assembly. In 1944, he successfully ran for the House and served for 28 years.

Ho headed the House Committee on Science and Astronautics, which had jurisdiction over the National Aeronautics began a 44-year career with the National Cash Register Co. As a result of hundreds of hours of tinkering in his basement and behind-the-counter analysis, Mr. Wade designed a unique system for recording and identifying retail sales, using the cash register. Macy's of California adopted the system in the mid-'60s, installing the first of its kind in the downtown San Francisco store. Mr.

Wade's design used cash registers to record sales, identify the departments they came from and print the information on retail "journals" that could be read by computers. After retiring from NCR in 1968, Mr. Wade donated much of his time and expertise to the Service Corps of Retired Executives, counseling and advising small businessmen. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Isabelle, two daughters, Lsabel Wade, of San Francisco, and Beth Carter, of Victoria, B.C.; and a grandson, Tom Carter, of Victoria.

COMPLIMENTARY PARKING HALSTED-N GRAY I CO. crossings of the Atlantic by rowboat since 1869, and American Patrick Ques-nel rowed from the West Coast to Hawaii in 111 days in 1976. A trans-Pacific crossing by a small sailboat, for instance, would be admired as a remarkable feat of seamanship.

"People have no image of an oceangoing rowboat," he says. "They can see sailboats at any time in a yacht harbor. When they think of a rowboat, they think of a small dinghy. So rowing across an ocean seems like a joke." Crutchlow tires of questions about Bird's lack of toilet facilities and an escort boat He says many people secretly believe Bird has a hidden set of sails or a tiny motor. And he has no answer when asked what he would do if Bird got into trouble.

'The answer is nothing. What can I do? I dont have the money to go chasing across the ocean. And Peter definitely doesn't want any rescue effort being launched for him. "It's a risky business rowing the Pacific. If he gets separated from his boat, he will drown.

If there were no risk, it wouldn't be an adventure," says Crutchlow. Furthermore, surviving another failure would be humiliating, he says. "Peter would be known as the guy who failed to row the Pacific. In some ways, that's worse than never attempting it." Most of the risks are still ahead of Bird. His radio is sure to break down sooner or later, his salt-to-fresh water apparatus could become useless, he could be run down by a ship or wrecked on one of the numerous coral reefs in the South Pacific.

He could fall victim to a shark or hallucinations or any number of other hazards. Bird is a genial, outgoing man, less stubborn than the blunt Fairfax. Yet somehow they are cast from the same mold. Bird said in 1980 before his first Pacific row he would either reach his goal or die in the attempt But perhaps they had another motivation, even more elusive than epic adventuring. After his row to Hawaii, Bird talked of emotions being heightened by solitude and the sweep of the sea.

"I wont say I had any cosmic experiences or anything revealed to me, but I enjoyed being out there," he said. "It started off as an adventure, but it has evolved a lot since then. It has become my life. I found a kind of peace out there which I Uiink is im-possilije to get anywhere else." days to cross from Casablanca to St. Lucia with fellow Englishman Derek King.

But the voyage seemed doomed from the start Like Fairfax and Cook, he was forced to put into Baja for repairs and his radio never worked. The Hawaiian disaster would have ended it for most people but, as Fairfax once put it, to a true adventurer failure to succeed only means one has the opportunity to try again. Adventurers tend to become obsessed with their goals. "Having got to Maui I just couldn't think of quitting," Bird said. "I knew I could make the crossing if 1 had another boat." Foo Lim, a Honolulu racing yacht builder, came to the rescue with an offer to build a new $35,000 rowboat free.

The new boat was built to the same design as the mahogany-built Brittania II, which was derived from sturdy World War II lifeboats, but new fiberglass-type material made it a third lighter weighing 1200 pounds when empty. It was also stronger, faster and easier to row. And, for a touch of luxury, the covered ends of the boat were sealed by watertight hatches instead of loose canvas covers enabling Bird to sleep in comfort without getting wet in rough seas. Bird barged his new boat called "Hole on Brittania," which is Hawaiian for "Carry on Brittania" to San Francisco, and spent nine months 'fitting it out on a Glen Ellen ranch helped by numerous volunteers. Crutchlow, meanwhile, tried unsuccessfully to find financial sponsors.

In an effort to raise money, he put a fleet of eight Ixmdon taxicabs on the road in Sonoma, Santa Rosa and Sebastonol a venture that has only recently begun making mpney. He winces at what it has cost him so far well over $100,000. His motivation: "tremendous personal satisfaction" at helping to set another record. "Neither of us expect to make money out of this. Money and adventuring don't seem to go together.

Adventures cast you money they dont make it. At least, that's been my experience." said the man who has hitchhiked around the world, raced across Death Valley in the summer and swum from Alcatraz in the winter. Crutchlow, who monitors Bird's tw ice-a-month radio calls, has a theory why most people regard ocean rowing as nonsense unworthy of serious attention, eAen though there have been nine From Page Bl and the low state of his solar-charged batteries, Bird reported that he's feeling fine. "I feel high," he said yesterday. "I'm really quite happy and content out here." He is shaving once a week, and cuts his straggly hair with the aid of a mirror and a pair of scissors.

He confessed he hardly has a tan because he's been smearing sunscreen oil on his skin to avoid sunburn. He thinks of his family in England and friends in California when he's pulling on his lWoot oars and gazing out over the lonely sweep of the ocean from his perch a few feet above the water, which has been glassily calm lately. For the first few months, he was propelling the boat an average of 35 to 38 miles a day. But later on some days he could scarcely manage 10 miles the frustrating result of brisk trade winds and equatorial currents that drove him eastward (his overall daily average so far is 27 miles). Although without sails, his boat is still affected by strong winds.

It's nearly impossible for him to row into a headwind of more than about 18 mph, for instance, because the front of the boat is pushed sideways. And any progress he makes rowing is almost erased when he sleeps. He would like to start heading west now, but he's happy to be across the equator. He feared ending up again in Hawaii, where his first Pacific row ended in disaster after 147 days at sea in 1981. Bird's boat, the Brittania II borrowed from Fairfax and Cook broke in two on the rocks outside a treacherous Maui harbor after a Pacific storm that broke the boat's rudder.

It was a depressing ending to a venture that had strained the patience and finances of Bird's sponsor, Sonoma businessman and one-time adventurer Kenneth Crutchlow. Until Bird volunteered, Crutchlow had been having formidable problems finding a candidate for the record books. One would-be Pacific rower, a 26-yonr-old Marine named Patrick Satter-lce, aborted so many attempts to leave Southern California the press called it the "Saga of the Reluctant Rower" and Fairfax fumed that he was giving adventuring a bad name. When Bird agreed to do the row, Crutchlow was delighted. Bird, after all, had already rowed across the Atlantic in 1974 in Brittania II taking 93 CONTRELLE, Stephen Paul In Sonoma County; a native of Louisana.
