Police said the device, which exploded at 2 45 a.m., blew a six-foot hole in a concrete wall surrounding the Presidio, headquarters of the U.S.

Sixth Army. No one was Injured, but hundreds of windows were shattered, officers said. The terrorist New World Liberation Front claimed repsonsibility for the blast in a telephone call to The Asssociated Press at 3:20 a.m. An anonymous woman caller who said she represented the NWLF's "Tom Hicks Unit" said the bombing attack on Pacific Heights was "to further press home our just demands for decent housing for all people in San Francisco." Previous NWLF messages have said the bombings were to force the city's rich to improve housing conditions and health care for San Francisco's poor. Among the prominent San Franciscans living near the High court upholds guilt of supervisors SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The California Supreme Court Thursday upheld the contempt convictions of five Plumas County supervisors for willfully violating a court order requiring payment of retroactive welfare benefits.

The 4-3 decision said the supervisors "conceded that they had received notice of the court order (requiring payment of retroactive welfare benefits) and had knowingly voted to defy the order." It added they did not challenge testimony of officials of the Northern California county which had established beyond question the county had the financial ability to comply with the order. "On this record, the trial court could reach no other conclusion but that the petitioners were guilty of the contempt, said the court. The case results from two 1974 California Supreme Court decisions invalidating several state administrative welfare regulations because they were in conflict with the governing statutory provisions. Several months later a class action law suit was filed in Sacramento County Superior Court seeking payment of benefits which had been improperly withheld under the invalid regulations. On July 28, 1975, the lower court ordered payment of retroactive welfare benefits.

The state Department of Benefit Payments sent a letter to each county directing them to compute and pay the retroactive welfare grants as required by court order. The Plumas County supervisors refused to comply with the court order and instructed the county welfare director not to make retroactive payments. In January 1976 the five supervisors were held in contempt for violating the order and later each was fined $500. Execution was stayed pending appeal. The high court Thursday upheld that sentence.

It said under law a board of supervisors acts as an agent of the state in administering payment of welfare benefits. corner of Broadway and Lyon streets where the bomb went off are Supervisor Dianne Feinstein, sugar heiress Alma Spreckels, Archbishop John Quinn and attorney Melvin Belli.

The tribunal said they were responsible for following the order even though they were not party to the lawsuit and did not appear to defend it. The decision by acting Chief Justice Mathew Tobriner noted compliance with state welfare law is an administrative function of a board of supervisors and that wilful disobedience of a court order directing such compliance constitutes contempt.

In a dissent, Justice Stanley Mosk said the separation of powers doctrine prohibits courts from directing a legislative body like a county board of supervisors to adopt an ordinance relating to payments out of the public treasury. He also pointed out supervisors were not parties to the original action and thus not required to comply with that judgment. He said statutory remedies rather than judicial contempt proceedings should be used in such a situation to obtain county compliance with state welfare laws. nji an 0 ir LTL I i in UZJ LT WW Simon is elected to direct museum mi In In 0j mmmm rrrrs wm ffiSHill fcUB 4 A 1.

Shred and use only the leafy Californians have been able to get 10 per cent tax credits for use of solar power systems, but studies have shown it has not been enough of an incentive, said Dave Modisette, an aide to Hart. He said other states have tax credit incentives, but none approaching 55 per cent. Congress is considering a 30 per cent credit on federal taxes.

Under the Hart bill, which is effective through 1980, a homeowner can fill out a form when filing state income taxes to claim 55 per cent of the cost of installing a solar system, up to $3,000, as a deduction from tax payments. The credit could be carried over to future years if not used up the first year. The measure extends existing law so owners of businesses and multi-family dwellings who install systems costing more than $6,000 can claim 25 per cent or $3,000, whichever is greater. A Senate-Assembly con-ference committee amended the bill so that any federal tax credit for solar energy would be combined with California's credit. The total of the two could not exceed 55 per cent.

Ed Maschke, director of a group called Sunrae, standing for Solar Use Now For Resources and Employment, said state Energy Commission officials have estimated passage of the Hart bill, combined with other programs, could result in installation of 170,000 solar water heaters and 20,000 solar heating systems by 1981. He said the increased credit "will allow solar energy to compete on an equal footing with other conventional energy sources which are highly subsidized." if 2. Shred the "filets" and use PASADENA (AP) In a move seen as a major consolidation of his hold on the museum that bears his name, industrialist Norton Simon has been elected by the trustees as director of the Norton Simon Museum of Art. "I feel that I need to give it more time and I think that I can do the most good," Simon said at a news conference in the museum's atrium. Simon fills a post left vacant by the resignation in August of his long-time aide, Darryl Isley.

Although financial management and artistic decision will no longer be separate as they were under former president Robert McFarland and Isley, Simon said he has no intention of single-handedly running the show. "My role is to try to find as many outside part-time consultants as possible and to just express my ideas," Simon said. No full-time positions will be added to the museum's curatorial staff, he said. Joining Simon in the triumvirate of key positions at the museum were his actress-wife Jennifer Jones and his close associate and president of the Norton Simon Foundation, Alvin Toffel. Toffel was named the new president of the museum and Mrs.

Simon, the new chairman of the board of trustees. Toffel, who has been acting president since McFarland vacated the post in August for an extended leave of absence, also came on board as a new museum trustee. Simon, saying he hopes to bring a "creative view of the visual arts to the museum," said three people associated with the motion picture industry were added to the museum board. The three new trustees were actress Candice Bergen, Warner Bros, producer John Calley and Terry Stanfill, the wife of 20th Century Fox president Dennis Stanfill. Simon denied the presence of his wife, his long-time colleague and himself in the three top posts represented a narrowing of the museum's scope.

He called his assumption of the directorship a solution to a problem he said several American museums face the creative side working at cross purposes to the administrative side. Besides easing the mechanics of museum management, the internal changes were intended to broaden the museum's public image, Simon said. "The importance of the museum is that it's public," he said. "When we took this museum over and I say 'took over' in the broadest sense we had a complete perception of the public status of the museum." The entrepreneur said the academic quality of the museum's art pieces is well-respected, and now the thrust of the museum is to make that quality known to the public through intensified educational programs. Simon said he has always sought high quality in his enterprises food products, petroleum or works of art and he had no intention of lessening the museum's artistic quality.
