Anderson replied he feels the board has already decided to build the minimum security facility at the General Hospital grounds in Arlington by putting planning money into it. Otherwise, that money would be thrown away, he added. Jones, however, remained silent to McCandlsss' repeat of the question. Jones session only $235,000 instead of $470,000 was left in 1972-73 proposed outlay, which Davis says is the same as nothing because the job can't be started for another year or until the additional money is earmarked for completion of the job.

Their eyes smarted from smog, according to Marion Walls, American Cement Company executive. Walls told a meeting of the Department of Development board that his firm otherwise probahly would have been able to bring a Beckman operation to the Scientific Center facility at American Cement. Suffering from smog headaches, the scientists refused to move to Riverside, he emphasized. Arthur Bermudez, chairman of the Economic Development Council, also said smog alerts in the county have caused the loss of business and that realtors are beginning to complain about Riverside County's alert level being the lowest in Southern California.

This results in adverse publicity, he declared. George Berkey, vice-chairman of EDC and a former county supervisor from the desert district, said the publicity is all over the country because it's Southern California smog. Department directors, however, backed off from asking the Board of Supervisors and Air Pollution Control District to make an adjustment in the smog alert levels in the county. Chairman George DuRois commented, "The less said, the better." Tark Plan Progresses Three forward steps were taken by the Board of Supervisors on the Santa Ana River Regional Tark.

Picnicking, riding, hiking, bicycling, nature trails and other day use recreational facilities will be provided in the big regional park. Pete Dangermond county parks director, said total cost of the project is estimated by his department at $1,087,439.

Supervisors Norton Younglove and Norman Davis wanted to over-rule Robert T. Andersen on the matter.

Supporting the administrator, along with Anderson, were Supervisor William E. Jones and Chairman Al McCandless. The hospital had asked for the vehicle for service lo Banning, Beaumont, Elsinore and Perris. Andersen said the board should suggest to the hospital that the cost of transportation be included as an operating cost, and added to the hourly rate charged. Noise Complaint A leller from a Santa Monica woman attorney complaining about an asserted illegal cable winding operation in the San Jacinto Mountains was referred fo the Board of Supervisors to the Land Use Division of the Building and Safety Department for investigation.

Virginia L. Card wrote to the board that the property on which Wood-Berghcer is planning amobilehome development at Pine Cove is being used by Consolidated Products Corporation.

A spokesman said the system, already at work in the Baltimore area, will be expanded to olher cities. The department's response to the sweeping criticism of conditions in food processing industries was sent by HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson to Sen. John L. McClellan, chairman of the Senate Government Operations Committee. The GAO report of last April said that sanitary conditions in the food industry are deteriorating and that FDA lacks the money and manpower to cope with the situation.

Investigators reported finding in some plants rodent excreta and urine, cockroach and other insect infestations in or around raw materials, finished products and processing equipment; improper use of insecticides near food processing areas; use of unsanitary equipment and olher similar conditions. lymphatic leukemia a form of incurable blood cancer.

"Send him back to the United Stales," shouted one voice in English from the gallery. Iceland's five daily newspapers, which were gearing up to cover their biggest story in years, have also turned on the 29-year-old American. "The chess scandal of the century," said the Timinn, one of the leading newspapers. Another newspaper printed a picture of Fischer's locked hotel room door with "Don't Disturb" sign under the headline: "Come out and fight Bobby Fischer. Or are you a coward?" In contrast pictures of the well mannered and pleasant world champion walking, fishing for salmon or playing tennis adorn the front pages every other day.

It may be an explanation for his statement to an Icelandic chess player that he was sensing a conspiracy behind his setbacks.

The Icelanders, who are a friendly people, have gone out of their way to please both Fischer and Spassky. They provided a luxury villa for Fischer on the outskirts of the city and they were upset when the American moved out after only a couple of days and demanded a new one. "Spassky never demanded anything but his hotel suite and he thanked us when we set up a tennis court for him. Fischer does not even talk to us. He sends his requests and complaints through some aides," said the chess federation official.

Like quail, they spend much of their time strolling along on foot but, when flushed by a predator, show they haven't forgotten a thing about flying. Unlike quail, which tend to stay in canyons and washes, chukkar frequent the upper hillsides among the rocks.

The chukkar and other wildlife population is pretty low on the desert at present because rainfall has been sparse for the past three years, according to game officials. Craig was financed in his efforts to get more water to the wildlife by the county's Fish and Game Commission, using fines collected from violators of game regulations. With $900 Craig organized and carried through the whole project. Approval was given and sites for the guzzlers were chosen by the commission and Bureau of Land Management. Clearing the land for the concrete slabs was done by Boy Scouts from the Barstow area, arranged through Marlin Gregg.

The actual construction of the guzzlers was done by a group formed by Craig. "Anybody I could scrounge," he smiled. in! jr wh I I "It took about five or six work days to put them all in," he said. "And the people who came out weren't all hunters there were people who were just interested in the conservation of wildlife or who just wanted to make a contribution." Pouring cement and digging a pit 10 feet by five feet in rock would be difficult under the best of circumstances but to complete such projects 20 to 30 miles from the nearest highway requires some planning. "We had to truck in the sand, cement, and water to make 1,000 square feet of four-inch concrete," said Craig.

"Fortunately we received excellent cooperation from Owl Rock Co. and Morrow Trucking Co. We had to drive a backhoe over those trails to dig the pits for the underground tanks." Also power generators had to be rigged to run the mixer. The trails leading to the Black Canvon sites vary from sand soft enough to impede the best 4-wheel vehicles, to rocky paths meandering over the volcanic rock formations. "I still don't know how he got that backhoe in there," marvels Moor.

"It was Craig's operation from start finish," said Glenn Moor, warden for the stale's Fish and Game Department. And a difficult project it was because it required transporting men and heavy machines 35 miles into relatively inaccessible reaches of the drsert to huild a concrete apron to catch any rainfall in the region, and install underground water tanks to catch the water from the apron. After a year and a half of planning. Craig and his supporters built three of the guzzlers in the Black Canyon area northwest of Barstow.

The underground tanks, which have a sloping floor and small opening onto the concrete apron, will allow birds and small animals to have water during dry periods.
