The hearing, at Santa Cruz City Schools' district office, began with wrangling between Mesa's attorney, Martin Deutsch of San Jose, and the school district's attorney, Keith Brion of San Francisco, over whether the proceedings should be open or closed to the public. The issue had not been resolved by late this morning. Deutsch pushed for a public hearing for his client, who under state law is entitled to an open hearing if he wants one. Brion argued that the proceedings should be held behind closed doors.

The San Francisco attorney said he was concerned that his witnesses all of whom are juveniles would be reluctant to testify in public. The hearing, expected to last three days, is being conducted before a three-member panel, including an administrative law judge appointed by the state, and two representatives Another ton, John Robert Biles was Killed In action In World War Two.

Mesa was suspended, without pay, from his job as a bilingual teacher at Mission Hill May 7, after Santa Cruz City Schools District officials accused him of fondling and sexually harassing girls at the school over a two-year period. Officials, who detailed 27 incidents of alleged sexual misconduct in a report to the School Board, charged that Mesa repeatedly touched his female students in an over-familiar manner, threatened them with discipline if they refused to permit him to have physical contact with them, made sexually suggestive remarks to them and stared at them in ways which made them uncomfortable. No criminal charges have been filed against him.

Deutsch contends that the district's case against the teacher is weak. Deutsch said last month that the case was based primarily on the accusations of one student who wanted Mesa fired because she didn't like him. But an attorney for the school district said that the lengthy list of accusations against Mesa was drawn up after interviews with numerous other students at Mission Hill. "This removes the democratic mask of this government," said Adalberto Rosas Lopez, the PAN gubernatorial candidate in Sonora. Added Fernando Canales Clar-iond, the party's gubernatorial candidate in Nuevo Leon, "We won't let the maximum authorities wash their hands of this." News reports indicated a heavier turnout than in past elections.

Mexico has 36.2 million registered voters. Polls in Sonora and Nuevo Leon remained open later than scheduled so those in line could cast ballots. Rodolfo Felix Valdes, the PRI's gubernatorial candidate in Sonora, claimed a 3-1 margin of victory over his main opponent, Rosas Lopez. In Nuevo Leon, PRI gubernatorial candidate Jorge Trevino claimed victory after receiving about half the results. His opponent, Canales Clar-iond, gathered about 250 supporter's in front of the governor's palace to protest alleged electoral fraud.

PAN had put together a strong challenge in both states and in the central state of Guanajuato. The PRI has controlled the presidency, Congress and all governors' offices since it was founded in 1929. It now holds 299 of 300 congressional seats up for open election, while PAN holds one. An additional 100 seats are reserved for minority parties, and PAN holds half of those. The PAN captured about 16 percent of the vote in the 1982 presidential election.

Critics try to present PAN as a privileged group that promotes private enterprise, the Roman Catholic Church and U.S. interests. review budget sider approving the spending of $411,000 in federal revenue-sharing funds for social service programs.

Don't miss out on all the news and features of your community! VACATION PAK MEXICO CITY (AP) The long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party claimed victory in gubernatorial elections in two prosperous northern border states, but the main opposition party charged widespread vote-tampering and fraud. Mexicans cast votes Sunday for governorships in seven of the country's 31 states, for 400 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress and a handful of state and municipal posts. No official returns were expected until July 14. The two most closely watched races were for governor in heavily industrialized Neuvo Leon, along the Texas border, and the rich agricultural state of Sonora, just south of Arizona. Shortly after the polls closed Sunday evening, President Miguel de la Madrid's Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI in power for 56 years claimed victory in both races, although it acknowledged not having the full results.

Violence broke out at San Luis Rio Colorado near the Arizona border when about 200 supporters of the opposition National Action Party, or PAN, threw rocks at the police station and burned five patrol cars, authorities reported. They were protesting the detention of 18 youths for electoral disturbances. Police said the crowd of protesters included PAN Mayor Fausto Ochoa Medina, whose son was among the 18 youths taken into custody. The PAN supporters charged a ballot box they opened was stuffed with PRI votes, a charge PRI leaders denied. City Council will SANTA CRUZ City Council members Tuesday will consider adopting a budget for fiscal year 1985-86.

The proposed budget is about 6 percent higher than last year's budget of $43.2 million. Council members will make last-minute revisions before considering final approval of the proposed budget. Most budget issues were resolved during two days of hearings last month. Still under consideration are proposals for $135,000 for sewer lines and grease interceptors on the Municipal Wharf; $40,000 for wharf restrooms; $43,000 for reorganization of the fire department; $36,000 for a Water Department analyst; and $17,000 for a quarterly council newsletter.
