(AP) -James and Mickey Boccabella have gone whole hog when it comes to a family pet; they've got Arnold a lovable, 800-pound, housebroken pig. "He's just a little Hampshire," Mickey says.

"And he loves most people." Arnold, who happens to bark like a dog and sometimes eats four dozen donuts lor breakfast, has his own bedroom where The best no-rationine nlan the LOS ANGELES (AP) Gas rationing more stringent than that during World War II is reportedly part of a preliminary federal air plan for six Southern California counties. The rationing proposal would cripple motor vehicle transportation in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties during the smoggiest part of each year, May 1 through Oct. 31, beginning in 1975.

"So we turned to the only way left," a spokesman said. "We calculated how much reduction in gasoline consumption would allow us to achieve the standards, and wrote that into the plan. "The calculations indicated that (there would be an) 86 per cent reduction of gasoline used during the six smoggy months of summer and fall." By comparison, during the most stringent rationing of World War II in 1943 gasoline consumption was cut less than 33 per cent, according to EPA figures. Hydrocarbons are a principal reactant in the formation of photochemical smog. Any more than 161 tons of daily emissions in counties under the federal plans would cause .08 ppm standards to be exceeded.

Lieutenants of William D. Rucklelshaus, EPA administrator, will study the proposal next week and present it to their boss the week after that, the Times said. If he says yes, the plan must be reviewed by the federal departments of Commerce, Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget. It would also have to be aired in public hearings. If he says no, the Times noted, it could place Ruck-leshaus in contempt of the federal court which told him to have the plan ready by Jan.

Arnold was the runt of a litter of seven pigs and was unable to stand or nurse. He weighed two pounds and "all who saw it said it wasn't going to make it," Mrs.

Boccabella said. But with hand nursing and constant attention, Arnold grew to be a healthy three feet tall and seven feet long. Mrs. Boccabella and her daughter, Patty, used to take Arnold for rides in the car, until he reached 500 pounds and outgrew the family sedan. "He would get so excited, he'd foam at the mouth when we'd drive downtown or to the ranch; and, when somebody came along side the car, he'd start barking," Mrs.

Boccabella said. One motorist was so startled when she saw Arnold in the car "she darn near turned her car over," Mrs. Boccabella added. On another occasion, a deliv-eryman knocked at the front door. But, when he saw Arnold peering from behind Mrs.

(AP See story Wirephoto) Prof. Shockley Proposes by the Los Angeles limes, which noted it had a long and bumpy road ahead for approval. In its story the Times said: The federal Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Region IX office in San Francisco drew up the far reaching plan. It is designed to satisfy stringent federal air quality standards by preventing 520 tons of hydrocarbons from entering the Southern California atmosphere daily. -The EPA expects the gas rationing proposal to eliminate 198 tons of hydrocarbons each day.

Vehicles are responsible for more than 90 per cent of all smog in Southern California. -The remaining 322 tons would be reduced by such measures as controlling motor vehicle emissions, trapping industrial hydrocarbon emissions or limiting the use 'of certain industrial compounds. The federal government has ordered that a maximum of .08 parts of hydrocarbon per million parts of air exist in the air by 1977, to be exceeded only one day each year. Los Angeles County exceeded the 1977 total on 220 days during 1971. The Times said EPA statt members in San Franciscoo had been working 12-hour days to complete the preliminary plan which a U.S.

District Court judge has ordered prepared by Jan. 15. Its adoption possible by next spring would follow federal view and public hearings. The National Clean Air Act amendments of 1970 required state officials to write a satisfactory plan by last Jan. 31 to meet the hydrocarbon standard.

When they failed, the plan became a federal responsibility. The court-ordered deadline followed a petition by Riverside and San Bernardino counties to force the EPA to divulge the federal plan immediately. "To propose gasoline rationing was a last resort," the Times quoted a highly placed EPA official. "Rationing went into the plan only alter we included every other legal means open to the EPA for meeting the hydrocarbon standards." Without rationing, the EPA figured 681 tons of hydrocarbons would be emitted daily in 1977 throughout the six-county area.

(AP) -Stanford University professor William Shockley, controversial for contending that blacks are genetically inferior to whites, suggests the government pay men with low IQs to. get vasectomies. A $1,000 bonus could be offered for each point a man's intelligence quotient is below 100, says Shockley, an electronics engineering Thus, a man with an IQ of 90 would be paid $10,000 for obtaining a vasectomy, an operation in which the ducts carrying sperm are cut to prevent impregnation. Shockley made the proposal Thursday in what was billed as a "debate" with Cedric a black professor of psychology at Stanford.

The men lectured separately to about 400 persons at Monterey Peninsula College, then answered questions. Shockley, who won the Nobel Prize for his work as co-inventor of the transistor, has come under widespread attack as a racist for his theory on genetics but says his purpose is "to bring the question into the open lor public discussion." "The question of eugenics," breeding for superior characteristics "is not intolerable," Shockley said.
