A Plan to Ease Tensions WASHINGTON (UPI) A bipartisan plan was unveiled today to set up immediately a $1.1 billion emergency fund to help ease tensions in the nation's big cities.

The money could be used to create more jobs, provide better housing, and improve law enforcement.

Further U.N. action on key issues recognition of Israel, refugees, Suez Canal, and captured territory is expected.

6 Stations May Be Dropped From Syst em Massive cuts in the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, eliminating service- to Union City, Fremont, Richmond, Walnut Creek, and Concord. were recommended today in the wake of the legislature's refusalto vote additional funds to meet the district's financial crisis. B. R. Stokes, general manager for BART; told the district's engineering committee today that money now on Band will build only 57 miles of the 75-mile system prom- ised when the voters approved a $792 million bond issue in 1962.

He said portions of Eastbay lines and a San Francisco subway must be postponed until additional funds can be found. His recommendations: 1 Halt construction of the Southern Alameda County line in South Hayward, delaying extension to Union City and Fremont. 2 Stop track building on "the Berkeley division at the northern city limits of El Cer-rito, eliminating downtown Richmond. 3- End the Central Contra Costa County line at Lafayette, deferring service to Wal-nut Creek and Concord. 4 In San Francisco, eliminate the municipal railway section of the Market Street subway beyond Van Ness Avenue.

Original plans were to carry streetcars in subway through Twin Peaks to the West PortaL In addition to these cuts, Stokes said that elevated stations at Orinda, Bay Fair, West Oakland, and El Cerrito Plaza would be left unfinished or virtually eliminated.

"Through sharp budget paring, the committee has lowered County Administrator J. P.

McBrien's proposed budget almost $2 million. The slice in the budget and a windfall increase of $28 million in the predicted $100 million hike in assessed valuation led to the drop in the proposed $2,425 tax rate, The new rate would be $2,269 ior all county residents except the city of Richmond Which would be $2,114. Richmond has a lower rate because it provides its own li-" brary service. i lower tax rate will be: realized despite an $8 million increase over last year's fiscal spending plan. The committee, comprised of supervi- sors Thorn as J.

Coll and James E. Moriarty, said further attempts would be made to lower the figure. The board has yet to hold public hearings on the budget. Final adoption is required by Aug. 31.

Bay Minorities Get Fair Job Share Lawmaker Predicts Aid For Transit By ED SALZMAN Tribune Capital Bureau SACRAMENTO The legislature next year will rescue the Bay Area Rapid Transit District from its fiscal crisis, the chairman of the Assembly Transportation committee, predicted today. Assemblyman John F. For-an, D-San Francisco, said he wiltonduct i designed to eliminate most of the controversy over BART financing and produce consensus legislation. He placed the primary blame for the defeat of rapid transit bills on Sen. Randolph Collier, D-Siskiyou powerful chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.

Foran said that tremendous pressure is developing for the enactment of a measure providing significant" state aid to BART and the Southern California transit system. Collier appears to be losing his iron grip on the Senate Transportation Committee, where transit measures traditionally die. One lawnjaker, Sen. Alfred E. Alquist, D-San Jose, this year managed to ram a bill out of lit committee over the chairman's objection.

This was a measure allowing Santa Clara County to levy an automobile tax for the construction of county highways. Alquist had one major advantage over other lawmakers tangling with Collier; he is a member of the transportation commjttee. Collier has consistently blocked all bills levying motorist taxes for the benefit of rapid transit. promised last to Conduct hearings during the next five months on the need for financing mass transit sys- terns. Foran- said his committee will explore various methods of raising the $120 million needed by BART, Four major transit bills were killed this year by the legislature, Collier's committee defeated a bill by Foran raising the annual auto tax by an average of $4, a proposal by Assemblyman Frank Lanterman," R-La Canada, to place a sales tax on gasoline, and a measure by Assemblyman James A.

Hayes, R-Long Beach, exempting AC Transit and other bus companies from the diesel fuel tax. The fourth bill and most xontroversial died in the Assembly Ways and -Means Committee through the combined effort of Assemblymen Robert W. and Don Mulford, R-Oakland. This was the measure raising the toll on the Bay Bridge to 35 cents. Crown and Mulford are expected to be primary astbay negotiators in the sessions conducted by Foran's committee.

"The last victory will belong to the government and the allies," Huynh Cu told a news conference. Though intelligence estimates of enemy strength within South Vietnam have remained for weeks at about 296,000, Cu said it is difficult these days for the Viet Cong to recruit new men.

"The rest did not like the Communists, or they said they were sick and in bad physical condition." Cu, 39, was said to have commanded every size Viet Cong unit from, squad to said he has been a Communist since 1946 and fought the French with the Viet Minn. Born in Quang' Ngai Province, he returned from the north in 1963. He said his duties, writing tactical manuals, and training, kept him in the mountains of the northern sector.

They attacked our strong side and inflicted heavy casual- ties." However, Cu said, the American soldier is slow on his feet, not because of his big pack, but "because he is so big himself."

The employment figures were a surprise' because other federal studies have found that the unemployment rate in Area Negro neighborhoods is around 12 per cent, compared with a figure for the overall population of 4.3 per cent. The commission noted the unemployment rate figure, which was derived from an earlier study, but did not comment on it. The commission found that in the Bay Area, Negros hold 3 per cent of the white collar jobs, 4.5 per cent of the craftsmen's jobs and 17.7 per cent of the blue collar jobs, excluding craftsmen.

Spanish Americans hold 2.9 per cent of the white collar jobs, 6.3 per cent of the skilled craftsmen's jobs and 13.2 per cent of the blue collar jobs. A commission spokesman in founded puzzle.
