'They seem to feel somewhat In recommending that the Anton Chico youngsters continue at Santa Rosa, the team of-fered four stipulations: A breakfast, program should be initiated in Santa Rosa for students who have traveled considerable distance by bus prior to morning classes. The noon lunch period should be shortened in order to short-' en the school day so the students on long bus routes could get home earlier in the evening. A tutoring program should be established in the Anton Chico area for evening homework assistance. Inasmuch as possible, younger students should be assigned to separate buses to avoid some of the abuse from older students. The 7th and 8th grades were transferred from Anton Chico in 1969-70 and about 92 children at these grade levels are trans-, ported to Santa Rosa.

If the junior high students are returned to Anton Chico, the study team said, then sufficient funds should be provided to carry out the program as it is planned for the middle school in Santa Rosa. Another alternative suggested by the study team was for the junior high children to continue to attend school in Santa Rosa, but for planning to begin on the development of a middle school the end of the day when they get home they are less inclined to do homework, using fatigue as the reason. In some of the homes there is little chance for assistance with homework, very few books and reference materials and no local library," the team report said.

(AP) -With the presidential nomination within his grasp, George McGovern remained out of pub-, lie view today, writing an acceptance-speech and studying a smal list of vice presidential possibilities headed by Edward M. Kennedy. But the Massachusetts senator has disavowed any interest in running on the national tick-. et this year and if he does reject the expected offer, McGovern will turn to a list be- -lieved to contain no more than fiye names, including a labor leader, a governor and at least, two senators. Kennedy "will be given first chance to refuse," one McGovern aide said Tuesday.

McGovern himself has repeatedly said Kennedy would be among the first people he' wouid contact to discuss the matter. Kennedy has never been far removed from speculation about the post despite his public disavowal of interest. He is vacationing in Hyannis Port, with his family. There are widespread reports he will fly to Miami Beach Thursday in a show of party unity, but only after someone else has been named by McGovern for the second spot on the Demo- cratic ticket. However, the Massachusetts senator, who lost two brothers to political assassins, has said flatly that he would not accept ike party's vice fresidcntiil nomination.

He had said at one time he would have considered a riin if convinced that wzs the only way President Nixon c.T'd be beaten, but later altered the stand. United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock is believed by many to be McGovern's second choice for the vice presidency. Woodcock, supporters of that theory say, would help attract rank-and-file union members, despite the expected opposition from many other labor leaders.

The Anton Chico residents say there is an above-average school dropout rate for their children, due in part to the long distances the children must travel daily to attend school in Santa Rosa. 'The parents and children complain, of cold, uncomfortable buses which are crowded, full of noise and confusion, often marked with fighting and misbehaviour and intimidation by older students," the Educa accusations.

Haag testified Tuesday that Will Wilson, then head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, was contacted in March 1970 at the urging of a Collins lawyer who said, "If an FBI investigation was carefully structured it wouldn't cause much trouble." Haag said the lawyer asked Texas Republican chairman Peter O'Donnell to contact Wilson and later told Haag that O'Donnell had done so. The subsequent FBI investigation, Haag claimed in court, produced only evidence of the kickbacks paid to Haag and ignored kickbacks he said were paid to the congressman. Haag did not claim that he knew whether O'Donnell had asked Wilson for special FBI treatment. Haag said lawyer Duncan Boeckman was one of several lawyers who met several times with him and other employes after syndicated columnist Jack Anderson first disclosed part of the? kickback scheme March 5. 1970.

He said the Dallas lawyers. after hearing the employes' versions of what had happened, suggested modifications of the stories with such questions as. "Well, didn't if really happen this way?" He charged that Boeckman had said at the outset that the kickbacks, which Haag claimed were arranged by the congressman to pay $13,000 in 1968 campaign bonuses and at least in congressional expenses, "would be hard to explain away." When the first stories were printed by columnist Anderson, Haag quoted Collins as saying he had not realized how serious his arrangements were and told Haag that he was not taking -them seriously enough. "He 'You've got to get the message across to a few people on the staff that they could spend a little time behind bars," he quoted Collins as tell- ing him. "It could happen to you.

Collins has been in court since Monday waiting for a chance to take the stand and defend himself against Haag's Fireworks Kill Five In Roswell ROSWELL, N.M.(AP)-Fire- men still searched today for the cause of a fireworks plant fire that claimed five lives in Roswell. Don Robertson, vice president of Longhom Manufacturing said he doubted the cause ever will be determined. 'There was no apparent cause," he said.

Robertson said the-plant nor-, malty employs about 100 persons but, because of a two-week vacation, was almost empty when the fire broke out. The five victims were doing "general cleanup" chores, he said. They were identified as Betty Abilla, 21st of Roswell and Pri-cilla Fuentes, 32; Rosendo Martinez, 31; Frances Regaldo, 21, and her sister, Lucy Regaldo, 22, all of Dexter. None of the victims had been employed by Longhorn more than four months. A man and a woman who were injured, Tina Chavez and Carlos Vallejos, were treated at a hospital and dismissed.

The Chaves County coroner, Dr. Lee F. Wollard, said the deaths resulted from blast injuries. It remained uncertain late Tuesday how the victims became trapped in the fire. Robertson said his latest in formation indicated "something happened outside the building," where two persons apparently were waiting for a lunch wagon.

-He said the two outside might have run back inside, where at least three other persons apparently were trapped. Earlier reports said all five victims had been outside and returned to save a fellow worker. "It's really still a matter of speculation," Robertson said.

An even clearer demonstration of McGovern power came when the convention defeated a number of amendments, with broad-based support, but which so the candidate's emissaries said would be embarrassing in the campaign. These included proposed planks favoring liberal abortion policies, nondiscrimination against homosexuals, and major goals of the National Welfare Rights Organization a $6,500 income guarantee for a family of four, rollback of rents, government takeover and repair of substandard housing.

The majority version of the platform, adopted almost unchanged, ranges widely. Among its provisions are elimination of "unfair" Nixon administration wage-price controls, strengthened antitrust laws to break up conglomerates and to "decon-centrate" near-monopolies with the automobile industry cited as an example emphasis on rights of women, curbs on the congressional seniority system and insistence on open meetings, stiff controls on handguns, abolition of capital punishment and firm control of pieces and getting draws both times he played the whites and had the advantage of the first move.
