A-4 DAILY TIMES-ADVOCATE. ESCONDIDO. JAN. 4. 1972 Appraisal sought on Vista school sites "We will have to get an appraisal of the three sites; then set our own price," D.

S. Andreasen, board president, said. Trustees agreed that if an appraisal is to be made, it should be made on the high school, Lincoln and about six acres of excess land at Santa Fe School. About 200 feet of the latter site's acreage fronts on North Santa Fe Avenue and is considered prime commercial property. The sale of the Santa Fe property would generate additional funds for purchase of a school site or sites, Eikermann said.

He added that the appraisal of the properties would take from three to four weeks and cost from $6,000 to $7,000. downtown commercial district. Lincoln Junior High School is across the street from Vista High School on Escondido Avenue. The new Vista high school is currently being constructed on Bobier Drive and will be completed by September. The district has plans to make repairs at the old high school and expand Lincoln to that site.

I'm convinced the city of Vista would prefer us to abandon the present high school site," Superintendent G. C. Eikermann said, to allow expansion of the downtown district." Eikermann told the board that Trustee Richard Young and himself had met with representatives of Cal-Vest Properties, at which time the district was given an offer for the 18-acre high school site. The company is interested in the Lincoln site, should we consider leasing it at a later date," he said. He said the state allows the district to proceed with the sale of the high school site and retain the money for a replacement building and site.

Eikermann did not disclose the amount offered for the sites by Cal-Vest, but said that should the district proceed with the sale, new housing for junior high and elementary school students will have to be made available by 1973. By that time the district will need one complete junior high school and an elementary school. Trustee Paul L. V. Campo estimated the new schools would cost about $3.5 million.

The district's current bonding capacity is $1.4 million. VISTA An appraisal of three school sites in the Vista Unified School District will be made in preparation for their possible sale. At a meeting Monday, district trustees voted to hire an appraiser to appraise the old Vista High School site, the Lincoln Junior High School and about six acres of excess property at the Santa Fe Elementary School. For several months trustees have considered the possible sale of the present 18-acre high school campus or an exchange of the property for a new site for a junior high school in another area. The Vista City Council and local businessmen have supported a move to have the school district abandon the downtown property to allow orderly expansion of the Security system scored WASHINGTON (AP) Columnist Jack Anderson said today he hopes his published reports of secret minutes of White House strategy sessions on India-Pakistan result in a real security system.

"I think the security system in fact is a censorship system used to hide all activities in diplomacy in general," Anderson said in a telephone interview. By operating in the dark they (the administration) can commit blunders in the dark." Several recent Andersons columns, syndicated to 700 newspapers including the Daily Times-Advocate, have quoted from what he said were minutes of a White House crisis team known as the Washington Special Action Group (SAG). Monday's column said Henry Kissinger, the Presidents assistant for security affairs, lied when he told reporters that the administration wasn't anti-India. I am getting hell every half hour from the President that we are not being tough enough on India, Anderson quoted Kissinger as saying in one SAG meeting. The columnist said that three days later Kissinger directed that henceforth we show a certain coolness to the Indians.

The Indian ambassador is not to be treated at too high a level. Government officials said Friday a security investigation was under way to find out who leaked" the information to Anderson. I know that people in the State and Defense departments and in the National Security Council have been questioned, Anderson said. There are some security matters and those 1 don't use, the columnist said. "But I have found none in these papers.

He said administration officials are more interested in protecting themselves than the national security, and classify everything. Anderson said he believes he has the complete set of papers from the White House meetings and that he has about exhausted the subject in print. Notes from today Rollback in raises expected WASHINGTON (AP) The Pay Board was expected to order its first wage rollback today, cutting a 12-per-cent raise for aerospace workers, probably to 8 per cent or less. But it appeared to be an open question whether the board would honor its own new rule limiting all pay raises in new contracts to no more than 7 per cent, even in special circumstances. Various sources said all 10 business and public members were determined to vote against the five labor members and order a cut of some amount.

Not all of them, however, were reported ready to roll the aerospace raise back to 7 per cent. On another matter, the boards five business members were reported ready to press for a legally binding regulation that would automatically cut off future pay raises in old contracts exceeding 7 percent a year. Rohr-union accord near CHULA VISTA (AP) A federal mediator says negotiations could resume this week between Rohr Industries, and union workers who have been on strike for 37 days. Mediator Marvin Sconyers said he had talked with officials at Rohr and at local 755 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. We could have the two sides together before the end of the week, he said.

The 3,100 union members here and the 1,100 members at Rohrs Riverside plant are striking for improved pay and more protection through the seniority clause. Two union members were arrested Tuesday when they failed to obey police orders regarding the blocking of traffic at Rohrs entrance, officers said. Initial law spares trees IRVINE (UPI) This new city has its first municipal law. It requires woodsmen to spare that tree or else. The 18,000 residents of Irvine voted three weeks ago to incorporate as a city, and the papers were filed with the secretary of state only a week ago.

The first major legislation passed by the city council was a law forbidding the cutting of any tree with a trunk more than three and one half inches in diameter. It was designed primarily to safeguard the eucalyptus trees that surround the city. Gold at record price LONDON (AP) The price of gold rose to record highs for the second straight day today in London and Zurich, the two most important gold markets in the world. Dealers attributed the rise to technical factors in the gold market unrelated to the strength of the dollar. 1 In London, gold rose in morning trading to between $44.25 and $44.50 an ounce, a new high since the free market opened here in March 1968.

In Zurich, gold rose to between $44.25 and $44.45 an ounce, also a record on that Swiss market. Belgrade chess bid high NEW YORK (AP) The Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade has offered a high bid of $152,000 to be the site of next Junes world championship chess match between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer. The U.S. Chess Federation disclosed Monday that 10 nations and five cities had competed in the bidding that produced the largest cash prize offers in the history of tournament chess. Fischer defeated Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union last fall in Buenos Aires to reach the championship round.

Belgrades offer does not mean it will automatically be named the host city. Both Fischer and Spassky, also of the Soviet Union, will review the bids and submit their preferences. First shot9s a dud LEICESTER, England (AP) Steve Smith made his first and last flight as a human cannonball Monday. He was too big for the cannon. Showman Joe Weston had hired the 210-pound, 22-year-old stunt man to be shot from his new 16-foot cannon.

Wearing goggles and helmet, Smith climbed into the gun for a tryout in a gravel pit. A onepound charge of gelignite was set off. Smith took off and so did half the cannon barrel. Both landed 10 feet away in a pool of water. The other half of the gun backfired, wrecking the truck that was its launching pad.

Never again, said Smith, wading ashore. Its the last time I travel that way. Hes too heavy, said Webb. He should have flown 60 feet. Its going to cost Webb $260 to repair the cannon.

Mideast mission slated WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sen. John V. Tunney, will leave shortly for a two-week fact-finding mission to the Middle East. Tunneys office said Monday he would meet with the heads of government of both the United Arab Republic and Israel as a special representative of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Trustees to review plan ESCONDIDO Trustees of the Escondido Union (elementary) School District will hold a special board meeting at 7 p.m.

Wednesday to consult with staff regarding the middle school concept. Several teachers and administrators are expected to be present to assist the trustees in reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of grouping students in a sixth through eighth grade plan. Permit extension denied By VIVIAN DOERING T-A Staff Writer SAN MARCOS In a record 42-minute meeting Monday night the San Marcos Planning Commission disposed of three hearings and denied extension of a special use permit for a 276-space mobilehome park on Grand Avenue and Discovery Street. In recommending denial of the permit to build the park, David Valeska said the property had been approved for a park three times over the past five years, the vacancy rate in existing parks is now running at 46 per cent and the applicant said it was a bad time to be building a mobilehome park. Commissioners agreed with Valeska and denied the extension of the permit.

The mobilehome park property owners still have recourse to the city council, according to David L. Drew, director of building and planning. Amfac Communities, of Fullerton is the current owner of the permit to construct the park. The permit was originally issued to Award Realty and Anthony P. Cragle and renewed annually at the request of other developers to whom the permit was transferred.

Logan Huss of 809 W. Discovery St. charged that the owners of the proposed mobilehome park did not receive their notice that the extension would be considered Monday night until that day. City attorney Richard Ring said there was no legal requirement involved as the extension was not handled at a public hearing and that it was up to the developers to inform themselves when the consideration for extension would take place. Decisions for approval were made unanimously by the four commissioners present following three hearings which took a total of 18 minutes.

They approved the application for a special use permit to allow location of a temporary sales and construction trailer for Avco Community Developers, at the corner of Larchwood Drive and Hazen Drive. They granted a change in the plot plan of a mobilehome sales lot owned by Glenn Davis and Associates at the corner of Encinitas Road and Grand Avenue, and they permitted a minor deviation in a plan for a swimming pool at the residence and rest home of R. A. Gertner. Pat Nixon ends 1st stage of African mission MONROVIA, Liberia (UPU-Bouncing the new Liberian President's grandson on her knee to the sounds of marching jazz, Mrs.

Richard M. Nixon completed the first stage of her diplomatic visit to three African nations today. The Grambling College marching band from Reston, presented a 90-minute display of marching jazz and soul at the Barclay Training Center before soldiers of the Liberian army. WASHINGTON (AP) In spite of the tax relief voted by Congress last month, millions of Americans will find their take-home pay reduced after Jan. 16 by a bigger income tax bite out of their checks.

Congress has increased sharply the withholding rate, to make the amount of tax withheld by employers come closer to matching the employes actual tax liability for the year. That will correct the underwithholding which, for many GOP leaders glued to paperwork greeted the start of the legislatures 1972 session. GOP loyalty to Gov.

A public hearing on the appeal will be held by the council Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall. Councilmen will be briefed on the matter at their briefing session Wednesday at 8 a.m. Seeking reversal of the commissions recommendation is E. E.

The request to rezone the property from residential estate with lots to single-family, cluster housing was opposed by neighboring residents at a commission hearing Nov. 23. The commission agreed with Barry D. Eaton, community development director, that the rezoning request was not in conformance with the citys general plan, would increase demand upon public facilities and schools and would have a derogative effect on the surrounding residential estates.

Taxpayers at the income level of $20,000 to $25,000 who claim itemized deductions of $4,000 to $5,000 fairly ordinary at that income level may find themselves paying the government upwards of $50 a month more than they owe. For the relief of such taxpayers the IRS has prepared a new form to be distributed by employers, called Employes Cont. From Page A-l override but the Assembly balked, 39-19. Six Republicans voted for the override in the Senate but only four broke ranks with Reagan in the Assembly. A few Republicans also supported Democrats on other override attempts, but not in sufficient numbers.

Murphys anti-Reagan outburst came during a floor debate. For five years I have sat here listening to Democrats charge that the governors veto taxpayers, has been a nuisance for years. For 1972 and thereafter, fewer middle-and upper-income taxpayers will have to mail quarterly estimated tax payments or make large lumpsum payments when they file their income tax returns. This was a particular problem in 1971 for married couples in which both husband and wife work.

Millions of taxpayers particularly middle-income couples in which only the husband works, and those claiming large amounts of itemized deductions will find the new withholding tables take too deep a bite. The withholding increase is so large, in fact, that in many cases it will more than offset the paycheck benefits that Congress enacted last month in the messages are untrue, said the Republican whip. They are so right. The message about my' bill is the most ludicrous thing I have ever read.

It makes you want to throw up. But I havent got the votes for an override. No vote was taken on Murphys bill. The Assembly refused to override vetoes of bills by Assemblymen Jack Fenton, D-Montebello, to extend unemployment insurance to farm workers; by John Vasconcellos, D-San Jose, to appropriate $5 million for expansion of a several hundred dollars on April 15 to get right with the Internal Revenue Service. The change in the withholding tables was designed to correct that situation for the new tax year and to give the Treasury the current use of an estimated $1 billion which formerly has been underwithheld in the course of each year.

But in correcting the underwithholding of one large group of taxpayers, Congress has complicated the financial prob.
