DAILY ESCONDIDO. FRL JULY 7. 1972 ttax relief 1 1t chess move is Russianj passed by Assembly protect personal privacy in connection with whatever criminal records they may have. The problem is, the record system will have five million persons in it in a few years, said Crown, and there is no law now which protects the privacy of the persons involved. He said all kinds of persons now have to these files, including insurance companies, banks, certain police departments, if theyre friendly, and people who are in the business of securing lists for certain purposes.

All this we consider dangerous, he said. It passed 54-14. AB 200, by Assemblyman Alan Sieroty, D-Beverly Hills, which would set up a statewide agency and six regional commissions to manage the development of Californias coast. $193 million in revenue a year. But it passed 58-9 and went to the Senate.

It is AB 555. Other bills passed and sent to the Senate: AB 1319 and AB 2156, by Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti and others. Together, they would set up a statewide child care and preschool development services program, and appropriate $25 million to do so. Moretti said the funds would be matched on a 3-1 basis with federal funds. The program, for five years initially, would provide children with the quality nutrition and quality care they need so that when they enter the schools they will have the ability to compete, Moretti said.

Both passed 60-12. AB 1685, by Assemblyman Robert Crown, D-Alameda, which would require the attorney general to write regulations to SACRAMENTO (AP) The Assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of giving single persons the same income tax break as married couples filing joint returns. The bill was among about a hundred items disposed of Thursday as the Assembly rushed toward the nine-day recess, starting late today, for the Democratic National Convention. The singles tax bill is not a hippie tax relief act, said the author, Assemblyman Robert Cline, R-Canoga Park. He doesnt think the financial advantage would cause unmarried persons to live together.

At present, he said, a single person making $9,000 a year pays $265 state income tax compared to $110 for a married couple filing a joint return. Assemblyman William Bagley, R-San Rafael, opposed it on grounds it would cost REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleatjs illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: Fischer come? Near the end it was: Spassky go? Im very pessimistic, Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m.

At noon: Its a very delicate situation. At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: Theres hope. That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs.

Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying I came to play, he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didnt show. 1 Later he demanded an apology or he wouldnt play. At one news conference, one of Fischers lawyers said hed come to say he had nothing to say.

Yefim Geller, Spasskys second, fielded questions with: Kak Gavarit po Angliski, or as you say in English, No comment. Then theres the Eavesdropper, a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. One final quote, from Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple.

Thanks to a rich British chess fan who doubled the stakes, he didnt have to. Christs exoneration Unfair trial plea shelved Whig convention Slate topped by Fillmore BALTIMORE AP) The Whigs have nominated Millard Fillmore as their 1972 presidential candidate. No. 2 spot on the ticket was won by Robert E. Lee Moxley, who happened to be passing by.

The Constitution doesnt r.ay the candidate has to be alive," Jeffrey Amdur said after 15 delegates acclaimed Fillmore the standardbearer of the Resurrected Whig Party at an outdoor convention in a park Thursday night. The Resurrected Whigs are an offshoot of the Students Committee for the Glorification of Millard Fillmore, a Whig who served in the White House from 1850 to 1853 after the death of President Zachary Taylor. Amdur, cochairman of the committee, says the selection of Fillmore was a long-overdue restoration to party favor for the man who was dumped by the Whigs in 1852. Party leaders say they know little about Moxley, 70, the Baltimore man chosen for the No. 2 spot.

He happened to be passing by and we asked him if he wanted to be vice president, said Amdur. Moxley won out on the first ballot over P.T. Barnum, Chester A. Arthur, W.C. Fields and others.

What does the Resurrected Whig Party stand for? Motherhood, the flag, apple pie and Millard Fillmore, said James A. Seidel, a Frostburg (Md.) State College student who organized the convention. Discussing the partys platform, Seidel said one of the planks calls for an immediate freeze on wages and prices, followed by federal action to roll them back to 1853 levels. AirCal OKs PSA offer 1 for PSA to acquire the eight Air California Boeing 737 jetliners which serve Orange County and the San Francisco-Sacra-mento area, Barkley reported. PSA will retain all Air California employes and continue to operate its existing routes throughout the state, said Barkley.

Smith said the increasing financial requirements of modem airline operations suggest this course of action at this time." The agreement calls for PSA payment partly in cash and partly by 16-year seven per cent subordinated notes with 10-year warrants to purchase shares of PSA common stock, a joint statement said. sales tax" if the levy was Included in pump meters. He said the oil companies opposed the compromise also because it would cost a lot of money to change all the signs. Some of these things are architectural marvels." Shultz said the pump price system was used in New York and Illinois and the consumer screamed. They don't scream at the dealer.

They scream at the oil companies. Frankly, we dont need the criticism." Mills, fuming over the defeat, said if the motorist wants to punch somebody in the nose, he ought to punch A1 Shultz, not the service station dealer." tli i i BRANDON DE WILDE Star of Shane Accident fatal to De Wilde LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -As the stranger who helped his father rides off into the bleak frontier plain, the tousle-haired boy shouts after him, Shane? Shane, come back! That scene at the end of the 1953 film classic Shane remains for many one of the most moving in Westerns, and it secured a lasting fame for its child star, Brandon de Wilde. De Wilde, 30, died Thursday evening of injuries suffered several hours earlier in a traffic accident in this Denver suburb. He had recently completed an appearance here in a stage production of "Butterflies Are Free.

The Brooklyn-born actor who lived in Century City, was alone in a van truck when it glanced off a guard rail during a heavy rainstorm and slammed into a parked construction trailer. De Wilde was pinned in the wreckage. He suffered a broken neck, back and leg. He died four hours later in a Denver hospital. De Wildes career had waned somewhat in recent years.

He started out as a 7-year-old in 1950 with a Broadway debut in Carson McCullers Member of the Wedding that won critical raves. That performance led to the role in Shane, in which he played an impressionable youngster learning the meaning of violence on the plains of Wyoming during the American frontier. Because he continued to look younger than his age, he often played a similar role in later motion pictures, notably Hud in 1963, in which he portrayed a teen-ager growing up in the shadow of a strong-willed uncle. 7.5 state pay increase veto upheld SACRAMENTO (UPI) -The Senate has rejected by one vote a move to restore $15.5 million worth of state employe pay increases vetoed from the budget by Gov. Ronald Reagan.

Senate Democratic leader George Moscone of San Francisco led the veto override effort Thursday night but failed when the proposal was turned back by a narrow 26-13 vote. It needed at least 27 votes. The legislature authorized across-the-board state civil service pay raises totaling 7.5 per cent, and threw in a 3.4 per cent increase to correct salary inequities in certain job slots. Reagan cut the total increase to 5 per cent, the sum he originally asked for. D-San Diego, author of the 1971 legislation extending the sales tax to gasoline in an effort to gather more revenue for public transit systems, asserts that the latest controversy was fueled deliberately by major oil companies to make the tax as inconvenient and onerous as possible." Currently, a service station attendant has the choice of computing the tax into the pump price or not doing so.

If he doesnt, he can add the tax to the purchase price 25 cents on a $5 order. Or the attendant can pump $4.76 worth of gasoline into the tank and compute the remaining .24 cents separa TEL AVIV (UPI) Jesus Christ faced his accusers nearly 2,000 years ago and said nothing, the Bible says. Now, an Orthodox Jew -wants a court in the city where Jesus was condemned to death to speak up and exonerate Christ of all charges. Lawyer Itzhak David, 36, an Orthodox Jew, failed in his first attempt. But he said he will try again.

In the city where it all happened, Jerusalem, the supreme court Thursday rejected David's application of declaratory judgment to exonerate Jesus of all the charges brought against him. It argued that his conviction and crucifixion is a matter of history and not something for a modern court to decide. The court said Jesus reputedly had been sentenced to death by the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, and that it was equivalent to a sentence handed down by a foreign military tribunal. Therefore, the court said, there was no reason for present-day judicial authorities to take up the matter. I am not interested in whether Jesus Christ was guilty or Innocent of the charges brought against him," David said in an interview.

I want a hearing on how the trial was conducted. "Jesus was sentenced by a Roman court and it was prejudiced against the Jews. Therefore, the trial was not in accordance with the due process of law. I want a declaration from the court saying the trial he got was contrary to justice and that the trial was used as a hoax to get him executed. We are ashamed of the trial he had gotten.

It is a grave miscarriage of justice that the Jews have been carrying for 2,000 years. David, a bachelor born in Jerusalem and educated in London, argued his case for 90 minutes in behalf 'if his client, David Bitan, an Orthodox Jewish immigrant from France with six children. Both live in the Red Sea port of Eilat. David said he has asked for a judicial review of the case in attempts to bring it before the full nine-man court. A three-man court heard the case Thursday.

Tradition says Jesus was sentenced to death on charges of blasphemy for declaring himself king of the Jews. It has been a matter of dispute whether the Jews assisted Pilate in condemning Jesus to the cross. The Vatican Ecumenical Council said in October, 1965, that Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ. Still, what's happened in his passion cannot be blamed on all the Jews then living, without distinction, nor upon all the Jews of today." I felt a judgment by the high court of Israel this man (Jesus) never had a fair trial would at least diminish antisemitism in the world, David said. It might take the ground away from under the feet of the anti-Semites.

They would have one cause less to hate us that we admit the man never got a fair trial." David said he got the idea for a declaratory judgment from a similar application filed by attorney F. Lee Bailey on behalf of Sam Shepard of Cleveland, Ohio, a physician convicted of murdering his wife. He was exonerated on grounds he did not receive a fair trial and was freed after 11 years in prison. with hundreds of calls each day in search of help. A state tax official reported that an angry motorist and a Sacramento-area filling station attendant actually squared off in a fist fight over the tax.

state started collecting iickle-on-the dollar sales on gas Saturday and oversy erupted Immediate Issue is how the new tax omputed whether it is Into the pump price or her it is added on later to mrchase price, speedy solution doesn't in sight. late leader James R. Mills, AiKXiottd Prett Photo dead Ecumenical leader the age of 86. He had been a major force in the movement to reunite his church with the Roman Catholic Church. Patriarch Athenagoras leader of the world's 250 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, died early today in Istanbul at SAN DIEGO (AP) Pacific Southwest Airlines has reached an agreement in principle' to acquire Air California, says PSA vice president for finance Paul Barkley.

We feel that the PSA offer is most attractive and would assure the public continued improvement in California air travel facilities and enhance Air California employes future opportunities, said C. Amholt Smith, president of Westgate-California Corp. Thursday. PSA proposes to purchase controlling stock from Westgate California for some $13,417,960. Westgate owns 81 per cent of Air California.

The deal, subject to approval by regulatory agencies, calls defeat the compromise in the Assembly. Mills insisted the oil companies are striving to inconvenience the motorist as much as they can because they (ought the extension of the tax to gasoline in the first place." He said it was another arrow in their quiver" to build up public opposition to legislation which would divert use of gasoline tax revenue from highway construction to rapid transit. Shultz argued that the added on sales lax would protect the public" from dealers who would over-charge on the excuse of a Gasoline tax hex vexes all parties involved tely so the motorist's total out-of-pocket payment is an even $5. Another frustrating ingredient is blended into the confusion: The motorist can read a sign advertising gasoline at 29 9 cents a gallon outside the station but finds the pump price, including tax, may be 31.9 cents. Mills is carrying a technical bill to tidy up loose ends of the 1971 tax legialtion and recently the Assembly Transportation Committee amended into it a provision requiring that the tax be included in the pump price and not added on later.

Oil companies bitterly opposed the change. That provision was stripped from the bill by the Ways and Means Committee and passed by the Assembly. The Senate turned it down and a two-house conference committee drafted a compromise. The compromise provided that if a station advertised gasoline and the price did not include the sales tax the advertisement must add the words plus sales tax." The Assembly defeated it 53-9. At Mills urging the Senate voted to approve the compromise 27-1 to demonstrate that it favored truth in advertising" The Senate's action appeared somewhat idle since the Assembly had turned it down.

But Mills said the Assembly now could rescind its action or a new conference committee could be appointed. Currently, most sates taxes are added to the price of the product. A drink purchased at a cocktail lounge and diesel fuel taxes are exceptions to this. Mills charged that one of the Capitol's most influential oil lobbyists, Albert Shultz, worked the hallways" to SACRAMENTO (ITD The California motorist is finding himself gored again. This time he is caught in the midst of a confusing state sales tax tangle involving the legislature and major oil companies.

If he orders $5 worth of gasoline at the corner service station, he might be charged $5 25. Or, he may receive only $4.76 worth of gas and the balance Is sales tax. It depends on how the new tax is computed. Filling station operators and drivers are so confused that theyve dogged state government telephone switchboards.
