It also covered a narrower band of coastline land than the proposals by Assemblymen George Milias, R-Gilroy, or Alan Sieroty, D-Beverly Hills. Without funds to operate the state or regional boards, their effectiveness is doubted by conservationists. But in theory, at least, even their existence on paper would halt any project which would cut public access to the ocean, limit the view from the nearest road, or do irreparable ecological damage. SACRAMENTO (AP) A crucial vote is scheduled Tuesday on legislation to give state unprecedented planning and zoning authority over 1,100 miles of ocean and bay shoreline. The measure by Assemblyman Pete.

Wilson, R-San Diego, was severely criticized by some conservationists when it was approved June 23 by the As sembly Natural Resources and Conservation Committee as the weakest of three proposals before the committee. Since then it has been amended to eliminate a $600,000 appropriation for state administration of shoreline development in fiscal 1970-71, a con to satisfy a regional shoreline agency with a veto over development within 1,000 yards of the shoreline. These boards made up primarily of locally elected officials would be accountable to a 17-member state board dominated by public members, and civil fines up to $10,000 could be assessed against private citizens or local government agencies which ignore the orders of the new boards. The state and local boards are also ordered to develop extensive land use criteria and plans under the Wilson bill. However, lack of an appropriation clause makes early enactment or enforcement of those plans questionable.

cession to the state's continuing budget crisis. But even with those two setbacks for conservationists, the Wilson bill to be voted on by the Assembly Ways and Means Committee Tuesday would signal a basic change in the state's role in both local planning and environmental protection. At present city and county planning commissions and their city councils and countv boards of supervisors have the final word in all shoreline land use decisions. The Wilson bill would allow local government the same veto it now holds over shoreline development, but land owners and developers would also have quest them ever since. "The way it looks now," Walker said, "Those cans are going to disappear all over the state." Planning engineers have been lniprtim pill Jlfflttii fi iry UTM Srk IMLKiW mfi 1 conducting a survey to define the problem, and partial figures indicate that nearly 90 per cent of the refuse in state highway litter cans is household garbage.

"I don't know what the cost to the taxpayer is for these three times a week collections," Walker said, "but it runs into the thousands." Walker said there are now 70 such cans along Highway 17 and 1 in Santa Cruz County. He cited some instances in which persons have been caught stuffing plastic bags of household garbage into the litter cans in the county. 8 inx- I ii fits i I ifl i i i vi 115th Year-No. 164 10c Monday Afternoon, July 13, 1970 16 Pages Israel In New Mideast Peace Bid Michigan Cities TEL AVIV (AP) Foreign!

The anthropologist sought to prove that the Egyptians could have crossed the Atlantic in similar papyrus vessels long before the voyage of Columbus. Now the Ra II is destined for the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, which Heyerdahl founded with the relics of his first famous voyage, in 1947 aboard the raft Kon-Tiki from Peru to Polynesia. He claimed that the 101-day voyage proved Peruvian Indians could have settled the Polynesian islands of the South Pacific. Heyerdahl's wife and the wife of his American radioman-navigator, Norman Baker, 41, of New Rochelle, N.Y., were on hand to greet their husbands. Blonde Yvonne Heyerdahl and the couple's 17-year-old daughter, Anette, chartered the Culpepper on Wednesday and escorted the Ra II on the final leg of the adventure.

Baker, a civil engineer, arrived two days after his 10th wedding anniversary. He and his wife planned a few days vacation before returning home to their two sons, 9 and 6, and daughter, 8. BRIDGETOWN, Ba a 0 (AP) After a two-month transatlantic crossing that he says proves the Egyptians could have discovered America 4,000 years ago, Thor Heyerdahl and his seven international crewmen planned to haul their waterlogged papyrus boat Ra II out of Bridgetown's harbor today prior to shipping it back to Europe. The 55-year-old Norwegian explorer and his crew spent their first night ashore Sunday after completing their crossing that began May 17 in Safi, Morocco. Claiming that the successful completion of his epic journey proved the ancient Egyptians could have crossed the Atlantic, Heyerdahl declared as he stepped ashore late Sunday afternoon: "This is a great, great, great moment.

We have definitely proved that papyrus is seaworthy." Only the Ra's pointed prow and stern sections were above water, and the government tug Culpepper towed it the last eight miles into harbor. But officials said the Ra could have made Bridgetown unaided; she just needed assistance to complete the journey before dark. "It's good to be back again," Heyerdahl called to wellwishers men, were from Egypt, Mexico, the Soviet Union, the United States, Italy, Japan and Morocco, and they sailed under the blue and white United Nations flag. Most of the crew were on the trip last year. Heyerdahl credited some of the success of his second attempt to a change in boatmak-ers.

"We decided to have it built by South American Indians on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia instead of natives living on Lake Chad in Ethiopia," he said. "This voyage has proved conclusively that the art of building Hundreds lining the docks applauded. Prime Minister Errol Barrow led welcoming officials, declaring: "This has established that Barbados was the first landing place for man in the Western world." Heyerdahl, who sported a long beard grown during the voyage, also commented that the voyage showed "that eight men from eight nations on both sides of the political fence, black, white and yellow, of all different religions and backgrounds," could "live together like one family in a small cabin, 6 feet by 18 feet." The Norwegian skipper's crew as he tied up at the customs dock in the capital of Barbados. "We are delighted to be here, especially when we came so close last year." Heyerdahl's first attempt last year to prove his theory ended 600 miles short of Barbados when the Ra a larger copy of the Egyptian boats shown on ancient tomb carvings, broke up in high seas. Twenty small boats escorted the Ra II into Bridgetown harbor.

Heyerdahl and his crew squatted on the flat roof of the raft's cabin, waving and blowing kisses to bikini-clad girls riding alongside in speedboats..
