Dombach said the buses would become the property of the transit agency. Leased for 'Nominal' Sum They would be leased by the agency to the CTC for a "nominal" sum. Asked what he meant by nominal, Meredith said $1 per year. Details of the arrangements between the transit agency and 1 CTC still remain to be worked out, including the terms for leasing the buses.

Dombach said he hoped the new buses would increase the number CTC riders, provide the city and county with more frequent bus service and give passengers a better, more comfortable ride on CTC buses. Meredith said he also was hopeful the new buses would increase CTC patronage, but he couldn't guarantee it. He pointed out that Altoona and other cities with new buses are still having a difficult time staving off bankruptcy. 'Not the Total Answer' "New buses," he commented, "is not the total answer to our problem, but it is one of the Meredith said CTC's loss of riders is no greater than cities which have new buses. The loss of riders, he said, is occurring whether or not transit companies have new buses.

(AP) -Three witnesses in the murder-kidnap conspiracy trial of Anglea Davis have given aiffering accounts of what they heard or didn't hear during a 1970 shootout in Marin County. Miss Davis, 28, is accused of furnishing the guns and planning an attempt to free three San Quentin Prison convicts at the Marin County Civic Center on Aug. 7, 1970, in which a judge and three other persons were killed.

WHAT WAS SAID? Testimony during Thursday's session of the trial centered on what, if anything, was said during the abortive escape attempt about the Soledad Brothers, three unrelated black convicts then charged with the beating death of a white guard at California's Soledad Prison. Jonathan Jackson, brother of Soledad Brother George Jackson, entered the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Harold J. Haley bearing guns the day of the shooting in Marin County. He released and armed the three prisoners. Haley, two women jurors and Asst.

Dist. Atty. Gary Thomas were taken hostage. Maria Elena Graham, a juror who was taken hostage and wounded, testified Wednesday that Jonathan Jackson repeatedly demanded freedom for the Soledad Brothers in exchange for the four hostages. Under cross-examination Thursday she admitted that a talk with the chief prosecutor last week refreshed her memory that another captor also ITT Secretary Links Mitchell To GOP 'Deal' (Continued from Page One) lished memo came into exis.

Publication of the memorandum touched off hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee into a possible link between settlement of three federal antitrust suits against ITT and a pledge by an ITT subsidiary, the Sheraton Hotel to help finance the 1972 Republican National Convention in San Diego. The inquiry, which has extended to Mrs. Beards' hospital room in Denver, was in recess for the Easter holiday. Concerning the controversial memorandum, Mrs.

Taylor said the aircraft, which apparently, was on landing hit the earth about 10 blocks northwest of the airport, in middle-income residential area of mostly cinderblock homes.

17110 April Time to Launch New Growing Season Back Page spect a new bus provided by one of the manufacturers at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 5, at the CTC garage. "The purpose of buying new buses (with public funds) is not to help CTC, but to provide modern transportation for the thousands of who depend on transportation their livelihood." masse Meredith citizens, said. Responsible for All Maintenance Asked about the terms of the CTC agreement with the transit agency, Meredith said he would like the bus lease to be at $1 per year per bus for a 10-year period. CTC would be responsible for all maintenance and upkeep, and would continue to operate the bus company.

Funds for the new buses have already been earmarked by the federal, state, city and county governments. Meredith said the federal government would pay two-thirds, the state one-sixth and the city and county one-twelfth. Over the three-year period, the federal share is state, $160,000, and the city and county each $80,000, for a combined total of $960,000. In addition, the various governments are expected to make available $187,000 for a network of bus stop shelters and $28,000 to rehabilitate the CTC garage. The state's new proposed budget includes $59,000 as its share of these two projects.

The federal government is expected to provide $104,000 and the city and county together $52,000. Belgrade Drops Chess Match BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) The Belgrade organizers of the Spassky-Fischer world chess match announced today they are dropping plans to organize the match in the scheduled period in this city.

HIT NERVE Irate Patient Fires 4 Shots At Dentist LOS ANGELES (AP) A 2 8-year-old man who was about to have a tooth pulled is accused of drawing a gun and firing four shots at his dentist. The man says the dentist hit a nerve. A court-appointed lawyer says Tommie Watts acted under the influence of pain--and novocaine. The dentist, Dr.

Reb Scott, told a Van Nuys Superior Court the incident occurred when Watts Thursday, went to Scott's office to have a painfully inflamed tooth extracted. Scott said he injected novocaine and waited for it to take effect. After 15 minutes, the tooth was still sensitive, so he administered another dose of novocaine, the dentist said. When he probed the tooth again, the dentist said, Watts began to curse him and Scott told him to leave the office and go find another dentist. Instead, the dentist testified at a preliminary hearing Thursday, Watts drew a caliber pistol and fired four times at the fleeing dentist.

Police arrested Watts a few minutes later. Watts pleaded innocent. Nigeria Drivers To Switch from Left to Right LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) Nigeria drivers switch from left to the right side of the road Sunday, breaking with their British colonial past and getting in step with neighboring countries. Some critics say the switch will bring traffic to a full-stop in Lagos, the capital, where driving conditions are chaotic under normal circumstances. A publicity campaign on radio and television and in newspapers and movie theaters the past six months, along with practice runs in some cities, have paved the way for the changeover, which will cost about $10 million.

By ARNOLD G. LUECK Associate Agricultural Agent April is an opportunity month for the new outdoor lawn and garden season. At no other time of the growing period does nature provide a better setting for success and -long benefits than in early Spring. Natural forces exist at this particular time to speed along those plant processes having to do with establishment and growth. Planting, sowing, dividing, pruning, relocating or propataging each can be accomplished with less effort and knowhow in early Spring.

Due to the more favorable conditions present most any cultural practice will return better-thanaverage success. Before Summer's Heat When the soil becomes crumbly and workable it's that right time to get things started. Establishment and good development, especially of the perennials, comes more easily under such favorable conditions before Summer's heat comes along. Newly set plants have a limited root system. Availability of water and nutrients is critical.

The expected April showers make the early planting desirable to grow a root system quickly. As buds swell and open this triggers a mechanism. Once dormant plants suddenly become a thriving organism, ready to grow. Key Roles Favorable temperature, bright sunshine and moisture play key roles in growth stimulation. Thus, nature "pushes" to launch a new season.

Mrs. Wittmer said she heard two shots fired "from our group" as the kidnapers and hostages made their way from Haley's courtroom to a parking lot and a van in which Jonathan Jackson and his companions planned to escape. Once inside the van, she said, "Judge Haley apologized to us ladies.

He was we were dragged into this thing." In an ensuing burst of gunfire, Haley, Jonathan Jackson and San Quentin convicts William Christmas and William McClain died. Haley was killed by a blast from a shotgun which the abductors had taped to his neck. George Jackson was killed last August at San Quentin in what prison officials have described as an escape attempt. surviving Soledad Brothers--Fleeta Drumgo and John Clutchette- -were acquitted Monday of the Soledad prison slaying.
