The United States also has stepped up bombing raids as troop withdrawals continue. About one-third of the entire U.S. B52 bomber fleet was reported carrying out the heaviest raids in almost two years against Communist positions in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam.

American spokesmen said 11 SAIGON rUPl)-A U.S. Navy F4 missile-firing jet fighter shot down a North Vietnamese MIG 21 over North Vietnam shortly after American reconnaissance planes came under a heavy barrage of Communist surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft fire, the U.S. command reported today. It was the first North Vietnamese warplane shot down sincp another F4 Phantom downed one of the Soviet-made MIGs on Miy 28, 1970. The aerial dogfight in which the F4s "Sidewinder missiles found their target came over the Quang fang airfield near Ha Tien, near the North Vietnamese coast about 120 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone DMZ).

Military authorities have been saying for weeks that the North Vietnamese infiltration into the Central Highlands area is the heaviest in years and perhaps even since the Communist Tet offensive of 1968. As if to bear out such a premise, the tempo of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong attacks in the Central Highlands quickened today. The South Vietnamese command said three incidents in the past 24 hours killed five Viet Cong and one South Vietnamese soldier and wounded four government troops and three civilians.

Far to the south at Cu Chi, 22 miles northwest of Saigon, a seven-ton ammunition dump exploded today at the South Vietnamese 25th Infentry Division headquarters. The cause was under investigation. At sea, the U.S. aircraft carrier Enterprise returned to what the Navy calls Yankee Station off the South Vietnamese coast today for the first time since it left Dec. 9 for the Bay of Bengal at the height of the Indo-Pakistan War.

Linda Ybarra was appointed as acting manager of the center and two workers, Mrs. Rosie Cavazos and Mrs. Rachel Vejar, walked off the job in protest. Both women, employed at the center since it opened in August 1970, protested to the appointment because Mrs. Ybarra has been employed by CAO for only a short time and they felt someone with more seniority should have taken the position until the dispute is resolved.

Criteria for restricting the parking includes that it be in a residential area or adjacent to a county operated facility such as a park or library, and be in an area with higher than normal usage by children under 10 years old.

"When the partitions were torn down, it exposed some pipelines that werent on the plans, Neilsen told the supervisors. "The pipeline will have to be relocated.

I dont see any alternative to this unless we convince the CYA that we should put back the partitions. This particular change will add $345 to the cost of remodeling the facility. Other changes include running a one-inch copper water line, installing door handles in the bathroom, putting a wall heater in a back office room, installing four metal partitions to divide toilet fixtures and putting in two other partitions.

I have felt it a privilege to represent the people of Kings and Tulare counties for the past seven years in the Assembly. Dur- ing this time I have been able to work for important changes af- fecting my constituency in the areas of taxation, education and agriculture. I feel an obligation to our people to help work for other needed changes in California. I also believe that there is going to be an excellent candidate for this congressional seat.

On reapportioning the Legislature by the 1970 census, Stiern said, "We have to get going on this. The court was very, very positive in their statement that we must take this remedial ac- tion to get something acceptable to both parties and the governor, or they will do it in 1973. Duffy, in a statement released by his Sacramento office this morning, said: "I have been urged by scores of friends from Kings and Kern counties to become a candidate for the new congressional district combining Kings, Kern and San Luis Obispo counties. The offers of support have been personally gratifying. After weigh-ing all of the factors involved, I have decided to remain a can- cannot be fairly represented during the next session of Congress," The court directed the legislature to adopt acceptable reapportionment plans this year for itself and the congressional delegation for the 1974 elections, or face the prospect of the jurists doing it.

Reagan promised to do everything I can to assist the legislature in "developing as quickly as possible a reapportionment plan fair and equitable to every Californian. Reagans reason for vetoing the Senate, Assembly and congressional plans passed by the Democratic-dominated 1971 legislature was that they represented "blatant partisanship. Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown one of two Democrats on Reineckes now (Continued from Page 1) should have permitted a special live-man Reapportionment Commission he chaired to adopt a "fair and equitable plan, but instead chose a complete copout.

The court ordered state senators and assemblymen to run this year in their present districts unless they can soon loss reapportionment plans that Reagan will sign.

The court upheld, on a Git ndule-conttmded thelegisla- temporary basis, a congressional' should not be allowed to al reapportionment plan passed rapi mtioii itself because this by the legislature but vetoed by amounts to a basic contlict of Reagan. The governor charged interest. Reagan said he regretted the court thus "fell short of accepting the responsibility to question of the people losing. What the court really said, asserted the lieutenant governor, "was that the rights of the people, the rights of the minorities, the rights of the young dont mean a damn thing in California anymore. And I think were all about sick and tired of it.

He said the legislatures reapportionment plans fragmented minority communities for the purpose of perpetuating the liberal Caucasians in office. Reinecke said he will consider appealing the California courts unanimous decision to the U.S. Supreme Court and if that fails he may sponsor an initiative ballot measure to take its a question of either away the legislatures authority gaining.
