China is counting on growth of its oil production, which last year reached 100 million tons, to help pay with oil exports for the advanced technology and industrial plants it is beginning to acquire.

At a breakfast meeting with newspaper editors and publishers, Teng also said that negotiations with United States companies to help develop China's oil resources were making progress. At least six companies have been discussing joint exploration of Chinese oilfields.

Weather stories, photos in Metro. GOP leaders urge end to bipartisan stance Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan, the party's chief advocate of bipartisanship during and just after World War II. The major, though informal, meeting of 95 Republican officeholders, including 26 senators, adopted a resolution, with only one or two dissents, that began by accusing the Carter administration of having let American military power decline and of having ignored "Soviet aggressiveness." It demanded that negotiations on the SALT treaty and Senate consideration of the pact take account of "the total military and foreign policy relationship" between the Soviet Union and the United States, and not just the specific details of the arms treaty. While the resolution did not mention bipartisanship as such, there was overwhelming agreement that its adoption amounted to a rejection of that approach.

Republican support, while never overwhelming, has proved critical to the Carter administration's successful efforts to win congressional approval of the Panama Canal treaties and of fighter plane sales in the Middle East and the repeal of the embargo against arms sales to Turkey. Baker took a leading role on the administration side on each of those issues. His position on a strategic arms pact, while still uncertain, is expected to exert very strong influence among the Senate's 41 Republicans. Baker and others resisted efforts to include a detailed list of Soviet aggressions and challenges in (Continued on A-5, column 1) New York Times News Service EASTON, Md. Republican leaders decided at an informal meeting Saturday that the Republican Party should abandon its traditional bipartisanship in foreign policy and make overall Soviet conduct a key issue in negotiating and considering a new strategic arms treaty.

"Vandenberg was right in his time, but I think we're right in our time," said Sen. Howard H. Baker the minority leader, acknowledging the renunciation of the traditional stance taken by Sen. Wilderness study 'Wis 7 Brown attacks Forest Service Paupers field A county burial is a no-frills affair There is no service, no prayers, no flowers, no crying friends and relatives 4 I By KEN WELLS Sun Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO It's like a desert in the middle of an oasis. Unofficially, it's known as paupers field.

But when dealing with the public, county officials refer to it by its proper name MM Sunday special 2 AXx Ax-jpxrx By VIC POLLARD Gannett News Service SACRAMENTO A spokesman for the administration of Gov. Brown accused the U. S. Forest Service Saturday of "giving the timber industry its Christmas wish list" in recommendations on the RARE II wilderness study. Mistrial ruled in Rep.

Flood perjury case WASHINGTON (AP) A federal judge declared a mistrial in the bribery and perjury trial of Rep. Daniel Flood after a jury reported Saturday that it could not reach agreement on any of 11 counts against the veteran Pennsylvania Democrat. One juror said later that the panel had voted 11-1 for conviction on six bribery counts, but "a contrary old man" refused to budge. U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch repeatedly pressed the jury of eight men and four women to try to reach at least a partial verdict on guilt or innocence.

But after nearly three days of (Continued on A-5, column 4) The charge was made at a meeting of state legislators from western timber states where California representatives criticized Brown sharply for refusing to participate in the public comment phase of the federal Roadless Area Review and Evaluation study. In the study involving 62 million acres of national forest lands, the Forest Service recommended more than 15 million acres be set asde for wilderness and some 36 million acres for multiple uses such as logging, mining and recreational development. Another 11 million acres was designated for further study. Frank Goodson, assistant California resources secretary, said the Brown administration refused to make statewide recommendations on the study "because it was very clear to us that the Forest Service would do just what it has done, and that is to give the timber industry is Christmas wish list." Goodson said the administration did make specific recommendations by endorsing proposals of a local task force formed to provide advice on what should be done in little Trinity County. But in its final reommendations, he said the Forest Service accepted the task force's proposals (Continued on A-3, column 5) the San Bernardino County Cemetery.

The cemetery is all but barren and stands in stark contrast to the adjoining privately owned Mt. View Cemetery, where grass, landscaping and perpetual care have created a serene setting for those who can afford it. Paupers field is for the small number of persons who cannot afford a "proper" burial costing at least a few hundred dollars and usually several thousand. For these people who die destitute, the county provides a cheap wooden box and a hole in the ground. "I don't think it really matters," said Chief Deputy Coroner Leo Reyes.

"After all, the person in the coffin isn't going to be looking at it." A San Bernardino mortuary manager put it as bluntly. "The county does it their way or nothing." Area mortuaries handle the "pauper funerals" on a monthly rotation. The county allows $150 per burial, an amount that doesn't even cover the barest of costs," said John C. Saladin, manager of the Mark B. Shaw Mortuary here.

Up until several years ago, the county allowed only 140 per (Continued on A-3, column 1) Staff photo by Do Mock. The county's paupers field. More photos in Metro..
