DEMORO Tribune Staff Writer Seventy-nine contracts, ranging from landscaping to the finishing of Oakland's two downtown subway stations, cannot be started until the Bay Area Rapid Transit District finds $150 million. No train will run until the money is obtained. According to a two-page list prepared today by BART Chief Engineer David G.

There are no funds to complete the line from Hayward south to Union City and Fremont, or into Daly City from San Francisco. The closest BART can come to finishing a segment of line suitable for passenger use will be when contracts already let qare completed for work between Oakland and Hayward. This will result in virtually a completed line from Fallon Street in Oakland to south Hayward.

Stations will be finished at Fruitvale (35th Avenue and East 12th Street), the Coliseum, Davis Street in San Leandro, Bay Fair in San Leandro, downtown Hayward, and Tennyson Road Tirsoutfr Hayward. But there are no funds for parking lots at any stations in the system except Tennyson Road. And the Tennyson Road facility is funded only because the Federal Government is helping finance its construction. There also are no funds for 15 landscaping jobs. The biggest single portion that cannot be financed is the outer Market Street subway to be used by San Francisco streetcars.

This will extend from Eighth and Market streets to Sloat Boulevard, west of Twin Peaks. It wul in corporate the existing Twin Peaks tunnel and provide streetcar subway stations at Van Ness Avenue, Church Street, Castro Street and in the West Portal business sec tion. There are no funds to lay any rail or install any power and signal i for Muni streetcars, including in the downtown portion of the subway now being built. However, the three downtown San-Francisco stations -will be finished, although they will not be used for many months after Oakland's must be ready for passengers. This is because federal money is involved in the San Francisco project.

Homitz has held the $25,000 Laney post since July, 1966. He had been dean of instruction at San Diego City College. He, his wife, Cythea and two children live at 1326 Mountain Blvd. He once had a successful sideline career as a free lance writer, and Dr. Dunn said the educator told him he might return to writing.

The college president was instrumental in securing the strict anti-discrimination hiring policies laid down by the junior college district for construction of Laney and other facilities.

He said that the 45-year-old college administrator emphasized that he was resigning for "no other but health reasons," and said "I consider myself fortunate beyond my just deserts to have worked with you, the staff and students of this district." Dr. Dunn said that he discussed the matter with Dr. Homitz on Friday, and Homitz agreed he would not leave before March 1. The chancellor said that because of the reason for the resignation, he would have no choice but to recommend that trustees accept it when they meet next Monday. Homitz has done a tremendous job for the district and at Laney.

We're desperate at losing him," Dr. Dunn said. He said that because it was in the middle of the academic year, there would be no question of bringing in someone from outside this area to re-' place him. If an interim president is named, "there are a number of men who have finished their doctorate, understand the college and are qualified. "Local knowledge is one of the important priorities" to the district.

There was speculation that Dr. Ernest Berg might be named to the Laney position. Laney is the largest of the Peralta colleges, and is scheduled to open its new campus in the fall 1970. Dr. Berg is president of Alameda College, also under construction, and director of the district's educational services.

Dr. Dunn did comment that, of course, "Dr. Berg is the Spain Cracks Down On Foreign Music MADRID, Spain (AP) In a move to cut down on foreign music, the Spanish government ruled today that 65 per cent of light songs broadcast over radio and television must be in Spanish. The order also demands that 40 per cent of the composers must be Spanish or Latin American. Sweetheart Of GIs Wed 200 Battle Deputies at Courthouse A mob of demonstrators clashed with sheriff's deputies inside the 13th Street entrance to the Alameda County Courthouse today.

The demonstrators, numbering about 200, were on hand for the felony conspiracy trial of seven men accused of organizing demonstrations i October, 1967, to close down the Oakland Armed Forces Induction Center. The demonstrators, inside to escape the rain, were ordered out after -they blocked entry to the building's main lobby. When they were asked to leave by two deputies they began chanting, "No, No." As the d-ep i began easing them down the short flight of stairs to the door, the demonstrators struck back and a flailing melee ensued Several other deputies came to the aid of those confronting the demohstrators and at least two: were knocked down and had to be rescued by other deputies. The demonstrators were pushed out of the lobby after scuffling with the deputies for about eight minutes. There were no serious injuries although several deputies suffered cuts and bruises.

Shortly before the melee, one of the demonstrators was taken into custody on charges of failure to disperse and disturbing the peace and turned over to Oakland police. He was identified as David N. Wein-traub, 19, of 2501 Hillegas Berkeley. He said he is a student at the University of California. In the courtroom itself, Superior Court Judge George W.

Phillips laid down some strict ground rules on the trial's opening day after an' outburst of applause followed the comments of one of the defense attorneys. Attorney Malcolm Burnstein told the court he was current: ly on strike from his position as instructor in international law at San Francisco State. The remark inspired clapping and this caused Judge Phillips to threaten to close the courtroom to spectators. "This is one of the most serious trials the county has had," Judge Phillips said. Most of the 73 seats in the courtroom were filled by U.

C. students, supporting the defendants. Earlier, Charles R. Garry, the principal defense attorney, had asked for a delay in the trial, claiming the disorders at San Francisco State College are creating a climate prejudicial to tiie defendants. On trial on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and obstructing an officer and felony conspiracy charges of conspiring to commit these misdemeanors are Frank Bardacke, 26, Terrance Cannon, 28, Reese Erlich, 20, Steve Hamilton, Robert Mandel, 23, Jeff Segal, 26, and Michael J.
