SHIRLEY CHISHOLM GREETS SAN FRANCISCANS A call for gun control at Commonwealth Club (AP) Chisholm Asks For A motion by Oakland school director Seymour Rose to approve district-sponsored student visits to the Angela Davis trial in San Jose died yesterday for lack of a second.

It was the third Board of Education meeting at which the issue was raised, primari-, ly by students at Oakland Technical High School, by Roma Refisch, a Tech teacher, and by George Stokes, executive spokesman for the American Federation of Teachers, Oakland Local 771, AFL-CIO. Associate Supt. Lee Croce explained that students could attend the trial if their parents agreed, and that they would not only be excused with notes from parents but would -be allowed to make up missed work. But, he said, the decision not to make the visit a school project was based on concern for student safety, not on con- troversial.aspects ofthe Davis trial. Supt.

Marcus Foster added that there would be nothing to stop students from getting on a bus and going, but that students would be making the trip as private citizens and the schools would not be liable. It was Stokes who urged Rose to make the motion, that the school administration was placing fear fpossible insurance losses ahead of the value of education. Other speakers at yesterdays school board meeting continued efforts to gain a preparation period for elementary teachers. They included Mrs. Margaret Harry, who said she represented the entire faculty at Crocker Highlands School: David McGrath from Laurel School and James Buckley, Clawson School.

Board members approved a summer reading and math program utilizing $391,096 in new federal funds in model programs serving approximately 2,700 students and improving the training of some 350 teachers and. para-professionals. Mrs. Darlene Lawson, president of the California Parent Congress (a group of parents whose children are enrolled in schools receiving funds from Title I of the federal Elemen- tary-Secondary Education Act) objected to the proposal, saying that the money for summer school would be used for only one' fourth of children in the program. The firm of Ratcliff, Slama and Cadwalader, architects, was named to prepare plans for the new Stonehurst Elementary School.

The $1.2 million project was proposed by the School Site Building Committee of the Citizens Master Plan Committee and will be financed by proceeds from an earthquake safety override tax and state matching funds. The final speaker yesterday was teacher federation president Walt Swift, who renewed the locals demand for an end to the Vietnam war. Brown Hits Secrecy in Medi-Cal LOS ANGELES (AP) -State administrators of Medi-Cal either by design or incompetence-are hiding what may be massive misuse of public funds, says Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown Jr. In a speech yesterday to an Airierican Legion meeting, Brown said the Department of Health Care Services, which handles the Medi-Cal program, will not disclose records of administrative costs incurred after 1967.

Either by design or incompetence, he said, the expenditure of millions of tax dollars is being hidden from the public. This is wrong, and it must be changed now. He added that audits by the Department of Finance given to Medi-Cal were termed an internal operational document not for public view.

In her address to the luncheon crowd, Mrs. Chisholm hit hard at the Nixon administration and big business, giving a CRISPY CRUNCHY SENSATIONAL Got a problem Got a complaint? Perhaps youd like to take a chance on Action Line.

I have had to resort to using an umbrella every time I go out. They sometimes even swoop down on passing children arid dogs. I have tried using a hose on them but water does riot faze them.

I dont want to poison them or disturb their nests, but this is very annoying. I have called the police and the SPCA and they had no advice for me. What shouhHHdo, Action Line? Mrs. J. Oakland.

Paul F. Covel, City of Oakland naturalist, says the problem of blackbird exuberance during the nesting period is common throughout California, even right at the Oakland Science Center. Covel says the birds rarely make actual contact with any human or pet and would not inflict serious "injury if they did. If the problem-becomes too acute about all one could do would be to destroy the nests before the eggs are laid. Blackbirds are useful lawn pest destroyers and should be given a break when nesting, Covel.

added. I returned an unsatisfactory hair remover to a Los Angeles company well within the 14-day trial period, and it refuses to give me a refund, I ordered it Jan. 4, received it Jan. 31 arid returned it Feb. 7.

On Feb. 2fi the company returned it to me, claimed it Was sent to me Jan. 12 and denied a refund. Unfortunately I neglected to keep the wrapping with the postal date on it. I have sent the device back to the company again, and now it has both remover and money and will not budge.

I guess if I at least had the remover back I could give it to someone else. Perhaps it will work for them. It did not for me, despite the companys enthusiastic claims. Miss S. Oakland.

The best we could do was to get the remover back. We hope it does work for someone We asked the company to recognize the possibility of a postal delay and the inevitability of at least one unhappy customer and make a refund, but it refused. About four years ago we had a chair and ottoman reupholstered in an expensive, imported fabric that was supposed to be long lasting. More than a year ago we noticed that the fabric was beginning to crack. We called the upholsterer, who in turn toR.us to call the importer.

Back and forth we went. At one point both promised to come and take a look at the cracks, but so far we have seen no one. We are completely frustrated and ashamed of this furniture. Mrs. A.

The congresswoman also issued a strong plea for gun controls, saying, I dont know I really dont know how many more assassinations and killings we need in -this -country before we-begin to realize weve got to have some restrictions on weapons. She continued, Nobodys talking about the hunter, who uses his rifle for sport, but I think there is something wrong with the accessability and availability of hand guns and other kinds of weapons in of people. are using the weapons in our society to cause such a fear and destroy other human beings. The heaviest applause from the Commonwealth Club crowd of about 250 members came on the gun control plea. She mentioned the political assassinations that have taken place in the United States over the past few years and said.
