Notes from today Prisoners rejected by Hanoi PARIS (UPI) Hanoi cancelled the return of 13 sick and wounded prisoners of war to North Vietnam today after they had boarded a ship at Da Nang for the brief voyage to the north. Both Hanoi and the Viet Cong also hardened their line toward the peace talks.

In almost identical statements the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegates told the 115th session of the talks that a quick deadline for total U.S. troop withdrawal from Vietnam and overthrow of the Saigon government were inseparable and crucial conditions for peace. South Vietnam offered originally to return 570 prisoners of war but said the Red Cross after talking to the prisoners found that only 13 wanted to go home.

The boy, John Begley, wandered off about 3 p.m. Wednesday from the trailer home of his grandparents. By 9 p.m., more than 100 searchers were in the mountainous area interlaced with lakes. Several rural ponds were dragged. A tracking bloodhound was thwarted by fog and a cold wind that blew away the possible scent.

A team of 40 honor camp inmates was sent to help sheriffs deputies, volunteers, Chula Vista mounted police and border patrol officers in the search. As the temperature dipped to 31, border patrol agent Ab Taylor and a sheriffs officer found the boy dressed only in tennis shoes, a T-shirt and pants. Except for minor cuts, he appeared in good condition. His mother, Ardana Begley of San Diego, and his 3-year-old sister waited at the trailer.

1971 Sewer project protested LOS PENASQUITOS About 30 demonstrators marched along Los Penasquitos Creek Wednesday protesting the potential destruction of natural flora and fauna by the new San Diego metropolitan sewer line, now under construction. The protest publicizes the growing opposition to the location of the proposed sewer through a wooded canyon. Botanists and biologists from San Diegos colleges and museums say the canyon constitutes an irreplaceable resource that should not be disturbed or destroyed until a complete biological inventory can be made. The area is botanically unique, scientists say, because it is the last comparatively undisturbed riparian woodland in any coastal valley in San Diego County. The community of plants and animals is centuries old, completely interdependent, and will not survive if major construction penetrates the area.

San Diego County has purchased a large acreage in the canyon as a park. This is independent of the sewer line being built by the city of San Diego to serve the vast north city area. The Pomerado County Water District of Poway has purchased a percentage of the capacity of the sewer line. Ecology groups in several communities, including Escondido and La Jolla, are supporting the request to delay construction of the sewer line for ecological inventory. Planner selected in Vista VISTA Brooks Cavanaugh, an assistant planner with the city of Costa Mesa, has been named city planner for Vista.

Cavanaugh, 31, succeeds Donald Soyland, who resigned from the position nearly two months ago. Cavanaugh will take over the citys top planning position June 28 at a salary of $1,005 per month. He was selected for the position from a field of seven applicants. Cavanaugh is a 1958 graduate of Newport Harbor High School, received an associate of arts degree from Orange Coast College and has had additional academic training at the University of California at Irvine and at the California Institute of Technology. He began work with the engineering department of the city of Costa Mesa in 1963.

In 1967 he was transferred to the planning department. Cavanaugh is married and has four children. School contract awarded VISTA The P. H. Lusardi Construction Co.

of Vista, has been awarded a $4,234,300 contract for construction of the new Vista High School on Bo-bier Drive near North Santa Fe Avenue. Lusardi was awarded the contract at a special meeting of trustees of the Vista Unified School District Wednesday evening. He was one of three contractors to bid for the project. Because the school will be built with a portion of about $5 million borrowed from the state, the contract also must be approved by the California Office of Local Assistance in the Department of General Services. Approval is expected in two to four weeks and construction is expected to begin immediately after the contract is signed.

Lusardi, a 1949 graduate of Vista High School, said the new school is scheduled to be built in 400 calendar days in time for the opening of the fall semester in 1972. It will be a complete plant and constructed to accommodate 2,000 students with a potential of 2,400. There presently are 1,600 students at Vista High School, a plant built in 1938.

From Page A-l would need some guidelines for athletes, Galyean said. The coaches blow hot and cold, Bradley said. Its taken them eight or 10 months to decide the length of hair. This code should include athletes.

The athletic departments have been working on a separate dress code, and will make a presentation, Quade said. Stewart S. Sandy McLeod, a parent representative on the dress code committee, was recognized and spoke as follows: It was a pleasure to serve on this present committee, having served on it two years previously. I might mention that one whole meeting was spent in discussion of the length of boys hair. But all members recognized their responsibility to the students, the trustees and the community, and tried to arrive at a solution through the democratic process.

It was generally felt that this isnt the kind of community that would tolerate shoulder-length hair. It was also recognized that the code decided on who could affect the passage of future bond issues. I believe the code should be accepted in its entirety. Lopardo parised McLeods presentation and called for adoption of the code. But first, a member of the audience, Mrs.

Frank Kingsbury, rose to state: We hear much about the rights of the majority, but there also should be respect for the rights of the minority. Why pay so much attention to hair length? More attention should be paid to learning. This may be a conservative community, but it should be remembered that our schools train for life all over the world. It was at this point that Gifford moved to permit not be reached or forestalled by initiative or referendum petition. Lounsbery has prepared a resolution of need to formalize the council action.

Mrs. Boyce expressed a individual parents to request deviation from the code. Discussion on this issue has been impassioned illogical, and much of it unwarranted. Its high time we defused the issue.

I believe we can afford to be magnanimous in this respect. Bradley seconded his motion. WeU never defuse this issue, Lopardo said. Some parents cant control their own youngsters with regard to exotic hairdos. No, you wont defuse it by saying, let the parents handle the situation.

We cant have a double standard. What you propose would mean that some kids would have long hair, others short. And as for the suggestion that the trustees shouldnt carry the parents burden, I say we already carry the parents burden. This code was arrived at in the democratic tradition and I say, lets adopt it. McLeod noted that parent discretion was considered.

Giffords amendment was voted down and the dress code was passed unanimously. Student members of the dress code committee were Bryan Breidenthal and Mark Woodall of Escondido High School Greg Ballard and Eric Anderson of Orange Glen High School; and Phil Efseaff and Jackie Kuenzi of San Marcos High School. Teacher members of the committee were Bill Jones and Marilyn Fusch of EHS: Howard Savage and Mrs. Elaine Mallory of OGHS: and Everett Wilson and Mrs. Barbara Dolan of SMHS.

Parent representatives on the committee were McLeod and Mrs. Eva Capps (with youngsters in EHS), Paul Lang and Mrs. Mara Ashworth (with youngsters in OGHS) and Lee Kilgore and Mrs. Neta Richardson (with youngsters in SMHS). desire.

Jerry Howell, community development director, told the council moments earlier that some people in the community have expressed concern over the present freeway proposal.

Last week, in response to Masons inquiry, Lounsbery told the council their action in activating a housing authority as recommended by the citizens ad hoc housing committee was an administrative, rather than legislative one and legally could reflects a theme portraying the areas Spanish heritage. Also deleted was a statement that this (Spanish) theme shall be the basis for architectural design of all future public facilities, landscaping and appurtenent amenities.

As far as ethics, I dont know what theyre talking about. If I dont agree with them, is that unethical? Mason was the lone dissenter in the 4-1 housing authority vote. In addition to the petitions being circulated and distributed by Mason and Linthicum, Linthicum placed a legal advertisement in Wednesdays.
