Sulci a-5 Sept. 1971 THE SUN.TEIEGRAM Lawyers plan last-ditch plea to halt LA. busing LOS ANGELES (AD Attorneys prepared Thursday for a last-ditch effort with the U.S. Supreme Court to delay the start of mandatory school busine here, while a number of parents scrambled to find ways to keep their children off the buses. "I'm looking feverishly for a tutoring procram for "I don't like it." said Mrs Frazier.

"But we have no choice." Many minority parents share Mrs. Frazier's resignation, said Mary Muzray a black ho has been active in smoothing the way for integration at her neighborhood school. People assume because it appears to be for their benefit the blac parents are going she said. "But they feel strongly about this, they have a lot of distrust. "There will be more cooperation on our 'minority) part because of the income of the community," she continued, noting that tutoring programs and private schools are financially out of reach for most.

"But the black parents who were able to put their kids into Lutheran schools did that. I can't wait to see who's going to be on the said it would ask U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist to order the plan halted today pending appeals. But the Board of Education, which voted 5 2 late Wednesday to go ahead with its plan, mailed letters Thursday to the 32.000 students involved in man riatory busing programs tilling them when and where to catch their huses. Notices ere sent earlier to 30.0tX) youngsters in voluntary proerams.

The district has about 570,000 students. "We're launched," said Superintendent of Schools William J. Johnston, who met Thursday with principals of the lfio schools involved in the plan. "We're going to make it work." At the other end of the district, Chizuko Frazier was also disturbed about the impending busing. my fifth grader," said Myra Rosenbaum.

Throughout the sprawling Los Anccles I'nified School District the nation's second largest both white and minority parents were reacting with despair and frustration to a ruling Wednesday by the California Supreme Court that cleared the way for mandatory busing to start on schedule.

Is it 'gay pride' or gay bigotry? NEW YORK (AP) A softball team from San Francisco has been thrown out of the Second Annual Gay World Series for having too many heterosexuals on its squad. "This just proves that gays can be just as bigoted as the people they claim have been holding them down," said Jerry Pritikin, 41-year-old player representative for Oil Can Harry's Oilers, a predominately "straight" ballclub. "I guess there's a thin line between gay bigotry and gay pride." According to Pritikin, who says he himself is gay: "When you play for Oil Can Harry's you hate to think of people as gay or straight. We play softball." He said team members had flown here with "their kids, fans, cheerleaders, wives and lovers of both sexes." Rich Diez, manager of the host Eagles Nest team, said the Oil Can Harry's team sponsored by a gay disco by that name was challenged because word had traveled across the country, apparently from disgruntled members of a losing gay club. "We asked them and they admitted it," Diez said.

With the rumors confirmed late Wednesday, managers of the other teams voted not to play the Oil Can squad, leaving representatives of Toronto, Milwaukee, Los Angeles and New York to fight it out in the round-robin series, slated to end Sunday. The team was disqualified under a rule adopted at a meeting of representatives of the five participating cities in Toronto during the July 4th weekend. The regulation states that 80 percent of the 15-man roster and 80 percent of those playing at any time be gay. "They knew what it took to get here and they didn't satisfy it," said Mike Carey, chairman of the Gay World Series. "I have to go on what was agreed by all the parties." But Pritikin said that at the beginning of the season it had been agreed that the winner of the San Francisco Community Softball League would represent that city, regardless of its makeup.

Carey admitted that enforcement of the sexual preference regulation rested solely on the "integrity and honesty of each team."

"A hike through the mountains is not just a walk through the woods." said Inyo County sheriff's deputy Leon Boyer.

"Too many people go hiking without adequate preparation." The bodies of the dead hikers three men and a woman were recovered by helicopter Thursday, Boyer said. Bodies of two of the men were recovered from the rugged and isolated Lone Pine area in Central California near Mt. Whitney, at 14,405 feet the highest peak in the United States outside Alaska. The bodies of the other man and the woman were airlifted Thursday afternoon after search and rescue teams went in on foot and moved them to a REG. 49 TOOTH BRUSH 3P1 When another hiker came across the man and woman hiker early Wednesday, the woman was already dead, Vaulet said.

"The hiker who called us said he was exhausted and pushing chest-high in snow," Vaulet said. "There wasn't much he could do for the others." The stricken hikers probably all died of exposure and hypothermia, which involves the lowering of internal body temperatures, Vaulet said. About 18 hikers emerged unharmed fron the Convict Lake and Mount McGee areas in Mono County, and three hikers were rescued from the Italy Lake area. Royer said an earlier report that 17 hikers were missing was false. He said they were members of a search and rescue team.

Other hikers had come across the stric ken hikers when they were still alive Tuesday and Wednesday, Boyer said, but were unable to do more than contact authorities. "The hikers ho called us weren't in too good condition themselves," Boyer said. "If they gave their sleeping bags to the hurt people, they might find themselves stuck in the snow half a mile out Besides, the hurt hikers were in very bad condition already." All four of the dead hikers were dressed in light summer apparel and were ill-equipped for the rain, subfreezing temperatures, strong winds and five inches of snow the storm, downgraded from Hurricane Norman, threw at the mountains, Boyer said.

9-9, Sun. 10-3 SACRAMENTO (AP) The Assembly's Republican leader Thursday blasted a state Energy Commission program set up under a conservation bill that he voted for twice. Assemblyman Paul Priolo called the voluntary appliance shut-off program "a combination of Alice in Wonderland and 1984" and the kind of thing that caused people to vote for Proposition 13. "I urge all Californians to protest this program," the Malibu Republican said in a press release that did not mention he had voted for the bill requiring such a system. That measure, enacted in 197fi, required the commission to set up a program to control the use of electricity during peak periods, and authorized the use of "mechanical and automatic devices" for that purpose.

Priolo voted for the bill, AB 4195 by then As semblyman Charles Warren, D-Los Angeles, when it passed the Assembly June 14, 1976, and when the Assembly approved amendments Aug. 30, 1976. Under the proposed program, customers would get lower electricity rates for allowing the utilities to place remote control shut-off devices on air conditioners, room heaters and water heaters.
