1 1 C-2 THl SUN (CCC) Tuevdoy, July 28, If 70 State Social Workers' Union SKELETON "rW Charges Reagan With Lying By EDITH M. LEDERER SACRAMENTO (AP) The Social Services Union accused Gov. Reagan yseterday of lying to the public about the real reasons he was forced to rescind his $10 million cut in welfare services for the aged, blind and disabled. In announcing his decision to restore the cuts in attendant care and homemaker services Friday, Reagan accused social workers sabotaging his efforts to curb welfare spending by tellfiig "helpless shut-ins" their essential services would be ended. "As a matter of fact, welfare workers did tell 'helpless shut-ins' that they would lose attendant care because that's what the governor ordered," said Robert Anderson, the union's organizing coordinator.

"Reagan's attendant care cut struck the most helpless persons receiving attendant care," he said. "Those aged and disabled persons who had fulltiiiie in-home care were in the first category to be cut." Though Reagan put the blame squarely on the social workers. Anderson said they were just carrying out orders from the administrators of county welfare programs who have responsibility for interpreting the governor's regulations. Anderson told a news conference that Reagan did not understand the homemaker and attendant care program aid was misinformed by two top advisers who miscalculated the effects of the cutback. The advisers he Bamed were Lucien Vandegnft.

secretary of the Human Relations Agency, and Robert Martin, head of the State Department of Social Welfare. Speaking of Reagan, Anderson said: "He didn't realize that all the paraplegics would go around on television and say, "without my attendant I can't It was the press coverage that killed him."

The measure by Assemblyman Pete Wilson, a Diego, lost on an initial 31-31 roll call during the morning but Assembly Speaker Robert Monagan, R-Tracy, asked later that the vote be expunged. This means that the bill will be reconsidered later By CAM GARDETT SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Human skeletal remains dug up under Market Street by Bay Area Rapid Transit workmen are 5.000 years old, a scientist said yesterday. Robert Schenk, curator of the Treganza Anthropological Museum at San Francisco State College, said in a news conference that the age of the bones parts of an arm, both legs and the pelvis revises anthropologists' thinking on prehistoric habitation of the Bay Area. Carbon tests on scraps of flesh and clothing found around the bones showed the age to be 4,900 years, plus or minus 250 years.

The oldest remains previously discovered here were 4,500 years old, plus or minus 400 years, Schenk said. Skeletal remains five times that age have been found in other parts of the world. "It is quite a surprising discovery," Schenk said. never even thought habitation at such an early date would be possible." The bones, believed to be those of an American Indian woman about 25, were found a year ago 75 feet below the ground and several feet below the bay water level. They were "remarkably well preserved." Schenk said.

Construction worker Joe Pikul, nfi, struck a leg bone with a shovel. Geological analysis of the clay and sand around the bones showed the area had been marshland. A report by the Treganza Museum said the woman, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, was "almost certainly a native American, an ancestor of the present day California Indian." Indian remains in Southern California have been decisively dated at 17,500 years, and remains in Mexico go back at least 26,000 years. The skeleton found here was buried about 3,000 years after the end of the last ice age when melting ice raised the ocean level and created the Bav. SACRAMENTO (AP) A state senator said yesterday the state's open space tax incentive program has turned into "a monster" that allows big corporations to take advantage of tax breaks.

The comments came from Sen. George Danielson, D-Los Angeles, as he urged the Senate to accept Democratic changes in Gov. Reagan's tax program. The Republican governor's plan provides up to $8 million in the first year to compensate counties for the tax losses they now suffer in encouraging landowners to keep some of their lands in "green space" and not to be developed. Danielson said the 1965 law was designed to give a tax break to the average farmer, "the fellow with blue jeans and a stalk of timothy in his teeth." But, he said, the advantage largely is going to big tor-Judge Cans Festival Of Rock Performers MIDDLETOWN, Conn.

criteria for a strip along the coast would be prepared by a proposed state shoreline commission and implemented by regional boards. The bill, which requires 41 votes for passage, was attacked on the Assembly floor by conservatives for giving "unbelievable powers" to the new state agency. Conservationists protested it did not go far enough in preserving the coastline. Biddle's bill includes in the definition of "human being" in the murder statute a fetus at any stage of pregnancy. Originally, it included a fetus only after the 20th week of pregnancy.

Biddle said the bill would not apply to an illegal abortion performed with the woman's consent or to abortions performed by a doctor to save the life of the expectant mother. He said present law already covers illegal abortions. encouraging better sanitation habits and proper diet.

Grand Canyon's Kile Conqueror Is Fined 150 GRAND CANYON, Ariz. (AP) An Australian who rode a kite glider to the bottom of the Grand Canyon was fined $150 for holding a special event in a national park without a permit. U.S. Commissioner Thomas McKay levied the fine against William Moyes for the flight made from the south rim of the canyon. Moyes used a kite similar to that used by water skiers to lift into the air.

Edwin Hooper, Hollywood, who filmed the flight, was fined $250 for engaging in commercial photography in a national park without a permit. in the session at the author's request. Wilson received word during the day that his mother had died in Del Ray, Florida, and he flew there to attend the funeral. The bill would limit for six months all coastline develop-ments involving dredging, reduction of public access to the shore, "substantial development" or reduction of shoreline view from nearest road. Detailed development Senate.

Thirty-two Republicans and nine Democrats supported it while three Republicans and 17 Democrats opposed it. Assembly Majority Leader W. Craig Biddle, R-Riverside, introduced the bill last month after the California Supreme Court ruled a fetus was not a human being and therefore was not included in the state's murder statute. An Amador County man accused of killing his wife's unborn child was ruled not guilty of murder in the decision. Student volunteers receive no academic credit for the trip.

And each must raise the necessary money for travel expenses, which amounts to nearly $250. This is the fourth consecutive year such a team has gone to Guatemala. Last year they held 26 clinics during their stay, treating over 4,000 patients. According to Dr. Donald L.

Study Set On Pollution And Rain The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain, as any reader of G. B. Shaw knows, but what nobody knows is why. That Is why a group of researchers has proposed that the first long term, comprehensive study be made of the impact of a large city on the atmospheric environment. Mainly a look will be taken at the effect of urban air pollution on rainfall patterns downwind from a large city and the quantities of pollutants that remain in the atmosphere for a substantial distance downwind.

St. Luis has been selected as the city best suited to study as it is neither an outstandingly polluted city nor an exceptionally clean one, and it is in a good geographical location. Among those proposing the. study arc the National Center for Atmospheric Research, National Air Pollution Control Administration, the Environm ental Science Services Administration, the National Science Foundation, and other university and governmental entities. A five-year study is planned.

Association Leader Kips Adult Drug Use DALLAS (LTD The president of the Texas Pharmaceutical Association said half of the nation's drug problem involves adults. Edward L. Baker Jr. said diet pills are as harmful as "speed." "Parents go out and get bashed on alcohol and it's considered fine and acceptable," he said. "Alcohol is nothing but liquid pot.

Adults nervously puff on their cigarettes, all plainly carrying health warnings, and ram down their tranquilizers and wonder why kids won't listen to their warnings." SALINAS (UPI)-The Teamsters Union last night reached an agreement with 30 growers and shippers that recognized the union as the sole bargaining agent for more than 5,000 workers. Farm labor leader Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee Friday had announced a UFWOC organizing drive for the area. The Teamster announcement said the agreement covers workers "who harvest, process, haul or have anything else to do with produce, except for grapes The produce firms are located in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties.

director of field organization for the Western Conference of Bill Forces Drivers lo Pay Tickets SACRAMENTO (APi A bill cracking down on drivers who don't pay their traffic tickets won unanimous approval in the Assembly es-terday and movpd to tlip Senate. The measure by Assemblyman Mike Cullen. D-Long Beach, approved 57-0, gives the Department of Motor Vehicles the right to refuse to renew or transfer registration of a driver who has failed to appear in court to answer traffic violations. Cullen said the department estimates that local goern-ments would receive nearly 512 million in unpaid fines since registration refusal would force nearly a 1 1 violators to pay up. He said this estimate is an average annual total of 475,000 notices of drivers' failure to appear in court and an average fine of $25 per offense.

Cullen said this practice is currently underway with driver's license renewals, but he noted that these only come up every three years. Car registration must be renewed every year.
