and Gov. Ronald Reagan told a standing room only crowd at the Auburn District Fair that the fair was an example of what individuals can accomplish when there is nothing else to turn to for support. "This fair is known as the fair that wouldn't die," he said while making a visit on Saturday night where he spoke to some 2,500 persons in McCann Stadium. Reagan explained he has told the story of what local support can do up and down the state. "Instead of pending on government, I don't know what things people cannot do better for themselves," he said while explaining financial difficulties nearly closed the local fair several years ago and local resident rallied to help.

Quipping regularly about his campaign travels in California, he only mentioned his opponent once but not by name and spent most of his time talking about troubles on college campuses and the younger generation. High Low Yesterday Today Roseville 82 45 FORECAST Fair through Tuesday; high both days 84-92; low tonight in 50s; north winds 10-20 miles per hour becoming gentle winds late Tuesday. Sierra Nevada: Fair and warmer days through Tuesday; continued cool nights. Sunset tonight 7:05, sunrise tomorrow 6:55, sunset tomorrow 7:04. He had a receptive audience, with nearly 50 per cent of the number in the high school and college age.

He was interrupted by applause some half dozen times as he spoke without any obvious distractions. Turning to the college scene he stated: "I am convinced the greater majority of college students no longer will be the silent ma jortiy, and are not going to be led by that little band." He referred to campus unrest, stressing that he expects less disturbances dur-ing the next year. The problem has been, he explained, that a lot of social science classes have been telling it like it is not rather than like it Reagan questioned what kind of world would there be if "we had not been willing to bleed our finest into the sands of Omaha Beach" and other battle areas during World War II. The governor was greeted by fair officials briefly when he arrived. He also made a quick visit to the Republican campaign booth across from the fair office where he spoke with Assemblyman Gene Chappie and some 20 Girls For Reagan.

An antique car owned by James Grubbs of Roseville, which also carried fair Queen Karen Moulton, took the governor and Chappie the 200-yard ride to the stadium. There master of ceremonies Gene Ragle and Wendell Robie, both of Auburn, introduced the governor.

Burleson, 70, of 622 Windsor Dr.

was taken to Placer County Jail by Roseville police after he walked into a neighbor's house Saturday night and pointed a loaded .22 caliber target revolver at the neighbor with no apparent reason. William G. Fuller of 633 Windsor Dr. told police he was lying on a couch when Burleson walked through the front door. Fuller said Burleson has walked into his residence uninvited before and when he got up to tell Burleson to leave Burleson was pointing the revolver at him and muttering something unintelligible.

Fuller told police he overpowered Burleson and grabbed the gun away at the same time he bodily threw Burleson out the front door. Fuller received a small incision on the right hand as he grabbed the gun. No shots were fired. Burleson was walking in the street in front of the house at the time he was taken into custody by police. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Police said the revolver contained seven unfired bullets and one empty casing. It had a fresh smell of powder. Shortly after the incident investigating officers located a fresh hole in front of the Burleson house which appeared to have been made by a .22 bullet passing from inside the kitchen sink area to the lawn area. The slug was not located. Friday four juveniles were taken to Juvenile Hall in Auburn on charges of possessing marijuana after they were found sitting in a circle behind the bleachers during a Roseville High football game passing a marijuana cigarette to each other.

Two of the youths, all from North Highlands, are 14 years-of-age. The other two are 15 and 16. Also in Friday evening incidents during the game, Richard W. Epps of Roseville reported damage to his small vehicle while parked at the fear of the football field. He said the damage apparently was done by a person who "walked over the vehicle" by stepping up onto the hood and roof of the car.

The hood damage appeared to have been caused by the person's weight while the roof, flattened, appeared to have been jumped on. In other juvenile problems during the weekend, police issued a citation to a 14-year-old boy for possession of alcohol by a minor after he was found Taxi ride from Fresno ends in city It will probably be a long time before Michael S. Tunstall, 23, of Garden Grove and Linda G. Powell, 17, of Hamilton City take another taxi. The incident Saturday, involved the two customers, a taxi driver and the Highway Patrol who found Tunstall and Mrs.

Powell asleep in the taxi at Interstate 80 and Atlantic Street. Tunstall told CHP officers he and Mrs. Powell had been picked up at different locations in Fresno by the taxi driver and driven to DeWitt State Hospital north of Auburn where the taxi driver asked to be committed as he was a mental case. The taxi driver gave Tunstall the keys to the taxi and asked Tunstall to take the taxi back to Fresno. Tunstall drove the taxi as far as Roseville where it ran out of gas.

The CHP contacted Fresno police and found there was a missing taxi report on file. The taxi firm asked that it be stored for pick up at a later date and Tunstall and Mrs. Powell were allowed to go onto their destinations. They stated, however, as they left the Roseville police station they wouldn't take a taxi this time. Smoking in bed blamed for blaze A small fire reported Friday night at the Herring Apartments, 329 Lincoln was contained by the Roseville Department with only minor smoke damage to the premises.

The nuclear medicine department is located in a large trailer adjacent to the south entrance of the hospital. said the Kremlin's influence with the ruling Baath Party in Damascus was virtually nil despite quantities of military supplies provided Syria by the Russians.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers called on Syria Sunday to end its invasion and warned that Syrian intervention raised the danger of a wider war. Syria replied with a demand the United States remove the 6th Fleet from the eastern Mediterranean. Hussein, in a broadcast over official Amman Radio, said, "I am sure that the Syrian army will refuse to pander to the desires of the rulers in Damascus its executioners and the executioners of the Syrian people. "I am confident that the Syrian army will insist on joining hands with its brothers and comrades in arms, the men of the Jordanian armed forces, and unify their march along the road of victory and liberation There was no sign his appeal had any effect.

Israeli military correspondents reported from Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee that they could hear the sound of artillery across the ceasefire line and said Syrian artillery barrages had preceded the strike by the armored columns. Irbid long was a sleepy mountain town surrounded by olive groves and wheat fields with a population of about 7,000. In recent years thousands of Palestinian refugees have flooded in, and it is the headquarters of the 12,000 Iraqi troops in Jordan. There was no indication whether the Iraqi troops, mostly artillerymen used to shell Israeli villages, were taking part in the fighting. The guerrillas have appealed for Iraqi help and Baghdad Radio has supported the guerrillas.

Reports from Amman through diplomatic channels indicated the army was more or less in control there, still fighting small bands of guerrilla holdouts. By United Press International Israeli military sources said today in Tel Aviv that Syria had intervened in Jordan on behalf of the Palestinian guerrillas and sent tank columns 14 miles into the country to capture the town of Irbid in a move that drastically altered the military situation. The respected Tel Aviv newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth openly speculated that the United States would send paratroops to Jordan if King Hussein asked, but in his first broadcast to the nation since civil war with Palestine guerrillas broke out Thursday Hussein merely appealed to Syrian troops not to fight Jordanians. Israeli sources said 200 Syrian tanks had entered Jordan. French President Georges Pompidou issued a formal statement in Paris today in which France "solemnly affirms that any outside interventions is creating and would eventually create a dangerous situation for world peace." Syria has denied that its troops have invaded Jordan, but the Israeli military reports tended to be borne out by guerrilla broadcasts over Baghdad Radio which said the guerrillas held vast areas of northern Jordan and were using Irbid as a base.

Its capture also increased the possibility of Israel intervention in the Jordanian Civil War. Israel has said it would act if its security were threatened, and capture of Irbid would mean Syria had outflanked the Israeli-held Golan Heights and was only 18 miles from the border. The Egyptian government announced it had called an emergency Arab summit conference in Cairo Tuesday to deal with the worsening crisis and said King Hussein and guerrilla leader Yasser Arafat would attend. Britain joined the United States today in appealing to Russia to use its influence with Syria to end the invasion, but diplomatic sources in London Ann Landers Page 4 Birthdays Pag 2 Horoscope Page 2 TV Log Page 6 X-Word Puzzle Page 6 Sports Page 5 Women's Page 4 VISITS FAIR Gov.
