DAILY TIMES-ADVOCATE. ESCONDIDO. Staff OK needs board approval JULY 13. 1972 A-3 Animals exempted from property tax SACRAMENTO (AP)- Acting Gov. Ed Reinecke has signed a bill into law which, its author says, exempts the Positions on peace static State pay raises gam animals in the San Diego Zoo from property taxation.

The animals are now classified as personal property of the San Diego Zoological Society, Sen. Jack Schrade, R-San Diego, explained in an interview Wednesday after the signing announcement. The society a nonprofit organization, operates the zoo on city property. Schrade said he introduced the bill at the societys request. Schrade said he did not know how much money the society would save, but he said I imagine its a considerable amount.

It is very hard to put a price on a zoo animal, Schrade said, and they have thousands. There are a lot of public-spirited people in San Diego who give animals to the zoo, he said. SACRAMENTO (AP)-The federal Pay Board staff approves of cost-of-living pay raises for about 112,000 California civil service workers, and 90 per cent of the inequity boosts for some state employes. But whether the Pay Board itself agrees is up to a wage and appeals subcommittee of the entire board. California officials hope to get a decision by the middle of next week.

In a telegram from Washington Wednesday, federal officials said the first general raise in two years, five per cent across-the-board hikes, could possibly be included in monthly paychecks Aug. 1. The Pay Board staff has made an initial determination that your application is within the criteria of the Pay Board those for state Water Project workers 12 to 13V2 per cent, highway patrolmen 9'2 to IOV2 per cent, and prison guards 15 per cent. The California State Employes Association, which represents some 100,000 state workers, said the staff recommendation shows either callous disregard or inexcusable ignorance of the special problems facing California state employes. Walter W.

Taylor, CSEA general manager, added in a statement: If the Pay Board should limit increases to seven per cent, an already chaotic situation in California would become much worse. I urge the board to temper its fiscal conservatism with justice. regulations, the federal agency told James Dwight chief deputy director of the State Department of Finance. The staff said it calculated the overall California pay boosts at 7.9 per cent. The federal criteria is normally 5.5 per cent, and is 7 per cent for inequity situations.

Dwight said the ruling indicates 10 per cent of the $45 million provided in the budget signed by Gov. Reagan for inequity boosts is outside the guideline, and that the State Personnel Board would decide how the 90 per cent would be divided. The staff ruling does not affect University of California and State College faculty members, who are slated for a separate 7.5 per cent hike, Dwight said. Among the catchup increases are Alien held in hijack plot SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A Bulgarian native the FBI says waited in vain at a lonely Canadian airport for two jetliner hijackers to arrive with $800,000 ransom. He has been accused of helping plot the incident in which the hijackers were killed.

The FBI arrested Lubomir Peichev, 29, in Oakland Wednesday at his job as a tool and diemaking machinist. Peichev was arraigned later in the day on air piracy charges before U. S. Magistrate Richard Goldsmith, who ordered him held without bail and set preliminary hearing for July 21. An FBI affidavit said Peichev and two other Bulgarian immigrants, Dimitr Alexiev and Michael Azmanoff, both 28, flew by chartered plane June 25 to Puntzi Mountain airstrip 200 miles northwest of Kamloops, B.

to check the runway, now used only as a base for planes fighting forest fires. It said Peichev returned there July 5, the day Alexiev and Azmanoff hijacked a Pacific Southwest Airways plane here with 79 other passengers and five crew members aboard. Peichev waited at the remote airstrip with a pilot and plane he had chartered at Campbell River on the Vancouver Island the affidavit said. Alexiev and Azmanoff both were killed by FBI agents at San Francisco International airport before they received their ransom money. Azmanoff shot three passengers before he went down himself.

One, E. H. Stanley Carter, 66, of Quebec, Canada, died. The other two are recovering. In the dead hijackers luggage, the FBI said it found papers showing the British Columbia airstrip, along with two dummies which it believes they planned to drop by parachute well before reaching the airstrip and the waiting Peichev.

A pilot himself, Peichev had served with the Bulgarian Air Force and as a cropduster before escaping in 1967 and coming to the United States as an immigrant. While Peichevs arrest was being announced here Wednesday, a federal grand jury indicted Francis Michael Goodell, 21, Manassas, for hijacking a second PSA jetliner on July 6, the day after the San Francisco hijacking. Goodell, an AWOL soldier from Ft. Riley, took over a PSA Boeing 727 between Oakland and Sacramento, ordering it to San Diego where he picked up $450,000 in ransom money and released all but one passenger, then ordered the plane back to Oakland. The remaining passenger, a California Highway Patrol captain, talked Goodell into surrendering instead of risking being shot while transferring to a helicopter Goodell had ordered at Oakland International Airport.

PARIS (AP) The Vietnam peace talks resumed today after 10 weeks but the positions of both sides appeared unchanged. U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter put before the conference the four-point package President Nixon proposed on May 8. The Viet Congs chief delegate, Mrs.

Nguyen Thi Binh, told newsmen she was ready to negotiate on the basis of the seven-point proposal she made a year ago. Hanois chief delegate, Xuan Thuy, called on the United States to end its bombardment of North Vietnam if it really desires to negotiate an end to the war. The apparent lack of change was no great surprise. Any progress toward agreement is expected to come in secret sessions. Politburo member Le Due Tho is due back from Hanoi in the next few days, and this could mean more behind-the-scenes sessions with presidential adviser Henry A.

singer or other U.S. officials. Porter told the Communists that he felt it possible to find a parallel to other peaceful developments in the world since the last session. He referred to the peace moves between the two Koreas and the two Germanys and the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to settle differences by peaceful means. He did not mention U.S.

relations with Communist China. The long series of secret talks between Kissinger and Tho have covered a broad range of issues but have not produced any significant change in the conflicting negotiating positions. Washington has always preferred private talks, contending that the Communists used the weekly semipublic sessions only as propaganda platforms. But North Vietnam in the past has refused to participate in secret talks unless the regular weekly sessions were alsq being held. Kissinger andtho last met May 2.

Two later the United States suspended the semipublic talks indefinitely, and the U.S. delegation chief, William J. Porter, told the Communists "we will resume whenever you indicate you are seriously interested in the negotiation of matters of substance; or when we believe discussions would be useful." Nixon announced on June 29 that Porter was returning to the talks "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and serious way."

(AP) Calling for a massive response to the "worst natural disaster in the whole of American history," President Nixon has asked Congress to spend $1.7 billion on disaster relief for Eastern states flooded by Tropical Storm Agnes. Nixon also requested Wednesday loans for stricken home-owners and businessmen that would carry only one per cent interest and no repayment of the first $5,000. If approved, the request would be the "largest single amount ever allocated for a recovery effort," the President said, and would be used for long-and short-term assistance.

Fischer shifted his king In a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spasskys blocked each other's passage, Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range.

The new proposals will be discussed at the meeting, headed by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and Frank Cartucci, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Some state and local officials had complained soon after the flooding that federal assistance was slowed by red tape. Nixon then ordered federal agencies to speed up their efforts, sent Agnew on an inspection tour of the flood-damaged states and asked Congress for $100 million in emergency relief funds. "We must not permit the nightmare of destruction which has wrecked so many of their homes and places of business to be followed by the equally grim specter of bankruptcy or ruin," Nixon said in his statement. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera.

Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 12' points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title.
