Atty. Lowell Jensen has charged before a jury that BATS members see the air-cushion vehicles as a necessary adjunct to other forms of Bay Area transportation. GOP Unit Starts 'Cash' Campaign The Bay Area Republican Alliance today announced a "Cash for Candidates" membership campaign, designed to add 1,000 new members and raise $24,000 for GOP candidates. William H. Draper III, chairman of the Alliance, said it will contribute the $24 annual membership fee of every new member directly to the candidate of his choice.

The intent of the campaign is to acquaint more Republicans with the work of the Alliance, and at the same time contribute to Republican victories in November. Draper said the Alliance has endorsed alL Republican, nominees in the general election The Alliance was formed in 1958 to bring more business and professional people into political affairs. rather excited" about Hovercraft. Zettel said, the commission Js interested in "more than rubber-tired and rail transportation." The federaljy-sponsored Hovercraft program, conducted for a year under the auspices of the Port of Oakland, is to expire on August 9. Port officials, and re-presentatives of San Francisco-Oakland Helicopter Airlines, are discussing with federal officials fund grants to continue the program, for as much as three years more.

SFO Airlines operates two Hovercraft in transbay service now. Zettel said that Bell Aerosys-tems which makes the British-designed Hovercraft in this country under license, has plans for machines much larger than those now in use here. Current Hovercraft carry 14 passengers. Zettel said proposed Hovercraft may carry up to 90. Zettel also told BATS members that the federal Maritime Administration, the i House science advisor, and the Department of Defense, have shown interest in extension of the Hovercraft program here.

GIVES MEDICAL HISTORY Dr.

Isador Talesnick of Ag was going to sue the employes, was going to change her name, and "wanted to be buried in India under an assumed name." Doctors diagnosed the case as "an acute psychotic breakdown." Dr. Talesnick conceded under questioning of Jensen that two major operations Mrs. Buerk underwent could caused a manic depressive condition. James Martin Maclnnis, Marlowe's counsel, brought out that a layman, unfamiliar with symptoms of the illness, could be deceived by a person suffering it. Maclnnis also developed in questioning Dr.

Talesnick what he called "a pattern" of Mrs. Buerk's relationship with other attorneys. The psychiatrist referred to notes of a medical social worker who reported that she "lost confidence" in another prominent attorney. He added that he had no notes on statements by Mrs. Buerk, as Maclnnis contended, that she had accused still another attorney of "being a crook." COMPLAINED TO BAR Dr.

Talesnick did say that records showed she had complained to the county bar about Marlowe in attempting to get her money back. The alienist said it was possible that a manic depressive patient was "capable of being shrewd" in setting about such a course.

While details of the nurses' area-wide salary demands were not disclosed, some inkling of what they have in mind came in proposals made to the Affiliated Hospitals of San Francisco last Friday. These called for a minimum of $170 a month for general staff nurses in their first year, ranging up to $950 in the 10th year of service.

Starting salaries at the Bay Area institutions now range from $445 to $500 a month. Hartley said that in addition to the pay raises, the nurses want pension plans at all the hospitals. MEDICARE EFFECT In pushing for the area-wide hikes for the nurses now, Hartley noted that the cost experience of the hospitals during the first six months of the Medicare program will be the basis for federal payments to the institutions during the next 18 months. Meanwhile, threats of mass resignations by nurses spread over Northern California. Hartley said the latest move is afoot at both county and private hospitals in Yuba and Sutter counties.
