:EIeairtt.Call:-Saxbe 6feepoBible' SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Newspaper executive Randolph A. Hearst today called U.S. Atty. Gen. William Saxbe "irresponsible for suggesting Hearst's daughter Patricia probably was a willing participant in the Symbionese Liberation Army bank robbery.

Saxbe's statement Wednesday that he personally thought Miss Hearst "was not a reluctant participant in this robbery" was "irresponsible," Hearst told a news conference. Hearst's wife, standing at her husband's side, criticized Saxbe for saying he included Miss Hearst when he labeled the SLA a group of "common criminals. "I'm terribly surprised and saddened that the attorney general of the United States would characterize Patty as a common criminal when she's never been convicted of a crime," Mrs. Hearst said. She added she hoped Saxbe wouldn't make "any more prejudicial statements." Hearst said Saxbe's state ment my original view that the, man makes irresponsible statements and obviously talks off the top of his head when he should be listening." Hearst told reporters he accepted the FBI judgment that his daughter participated in the holdup because "1,200 pictures were taken and the FBI has identified her." The robbery confirmed to him that his daughter is alive, he said.

He said he believes the FBI now has "a free hand to do whatever they want to do" to find Patricia. 1 The Hearsts spoke at their home in suburban Hillsborough. Meanwhile, the FBI issued an all-points bulletin for two cars believed used in the bank holdup. The robbers are believed to have gotten into the two cars, a green 1973 Ford LTD sedan and a green 1974 Maverick, after abandoning two other cars about a mile from the bank. AU four cars were rented to a woman using identification pa pers of a Janet Cooper, but the Janet Cooper to whom they were traced had reported them stolen last fall, the FBI said, and apparently had no connection with the robbery.

U.S. Atty. James L. Browninj Jr. told newsmen he believes the robbers probably are still in the city.

"I think there's a good probability they are." he said. "But with $10,000 split several ways they could possibly be in Mexico, the Caribbean or anywhere. But I think they are still in the San Francisco area." Miss Hearst was Feb. 4. In the last communique from the SLA, which daimed it kidnaped her, Miss Hearst scorned her parents and said she had joined her captors.

The FBI has issued a warrant for Miss Hearst's arrest as a material witness to Monday's armed holdup at a Hibemia Bank branch here, in which five bandits who identified themselves as members of the (ContinuedOaPaget) f. 1 ff (Sii Weather MONTEREY BAY AREA -Claaring tonight.

Hermon on Thursday in a new escalation of fighting on the Golan Heights front. It was Syria's first use of aircraft in combat since the Middle East war last October. The Syrian command said its planes caused "heavy material damage and losses in enemy lives," then returned safely to base. The Israeli military command said the attacks resulted in the wounding of one Israeli soldier.

It made no mention of deaths or material damage. The Syrian attacks coincided other important Middle East developments: President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger held a surprise meeting in Washington with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy. U.S. officials said the session fighter-bomber was shot down.

Israel said all its planes made it home safely. The Israeli command said the Syrian MIGs attacked an Israeli position at the peak of the Mt. Hermon and two positions in the "southern enclave" of Syrian territory captured in the October war. The Syrians did not specify the MIGs' targets.

Sadat, however, called in a speech for a meeting soon with Kremlin leaders. A terrorist bomb went off in an Israeli town, wounding 12 Arabs and one Israeli. The Syrian military command in Pamascus, 23 miles east-northeast of Mt. Hermon, said its forces in the Golan Heights combat zone had fired missiles at Israeli aircraft in the area and that one F4 Phantom jet was to inform Egypt of continuing U.S. efforts to seek a disengagement of Syrian and Israeli forces.

The Egyptians had threatened to join Syria in the Golan Heights fighting if it got any worse, but American sources said this was not the purpose of the meeting. In Cairo, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt accused the Soviet Union of going back on promises of military aid and said his government was seek Ford Stands Behind President Nixon Sirica Signs Order For Nixon Tapes Says Younger BY WALLACE WOOD Sentinel Staff Writer State Attorney General Evelle Younger said in Santa Cruz today he will stop any future food distribution program or "blood money" payments such as took place in the Patty Hearst case. Younger said "unusual measures" will be required to stop the Hearst kidnapping case and the San Francisco Zebra killings from becoming a "prototype" for future He said in a morning news conference here that he regards the Hearst food giveaway program as something which now could be regarded as "illegal," since it is a matter involving "receiving money or goods for ransom or extortion U.S. At-ty.

William Saxbe made a similar statement Tuesday. New laws might need to be passed to prevent banks from knowingly releasing money for ransom or extortion payments, and to prevent trust funds from making such payments. Younger said that any public official or judge who tries to order release of. prisoners like the two Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) men accused of murdering Oakland School Superintendent Marcus Foster should' have that order "declared illegal and of no effect."

He said he was convinced that forthrightness of the White House in making the tapes available will convince the majority of the people.

Ford accentuated the positive and skidded over the negative in evaluating the president's credibility and effectiveness. Among the positive points, he mentioned where Nixon's solid successes in the arena of foreign policy. He said Nixon is the "finest president in the history of the U.S. in the arena of foreign policy." Ford stopped in Monterey, where he will address a $100 a The subpoena requests tapes and related documents covering 64 conversations ranging from June 20, 1972, through June 4, 1973. The materials requested overlap 23 conversations also being sought in a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee which is considering impeachment action against President Nixon.

In a motion filed with the court on Tuesday, Jaworski told Judge Sirica that he had been trying unsuccessfully since Jan. 9 to obtain the materials voluntarily in negotiations with the White House. "I have as yet received no definitive response to my request and, accordingly, feel obligated to seek these materials by subpoena," Jaworski said. Earlier, California Lt. Gov.

Ed Reinecke accused the WASHINGTON (AP) District Judge John J. Sirica signed an order today permitting the issuance of a subpoena demanding President Nixon turn over records and tapes of 64 White House conversations. The sweeping subpoena had been requested by special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jawor-ski, who said he needed the' materials for the Sept. 9 trial of seven Watergate cover-up defendants. Two of the defendants, Charles W.

Colson and Robert C. Mardian had joined in Jawor-. ski's request, agreeing with him that the information is essential to a fair trial. Sirica's order directed that a subpoena prepared by Jaworski be issued and made returnable before the court at 10 am on May2. There was no immediate White House comment on Sirica's order.

Quail Hollow Ranch Is Sold City Teachers Win Back Pay Economy Takes Dive plate dinner tonight to boost the reelection campaign of fellow Republican Burt Talcott for the 16th District. Much of the questioning by a large cadre of newsmen zeroed on the famous White House tapes. Ford stolidly maintained that only the portions of the three hours of tapes relative to the many impeachment proceedings should be provided the House Judicial Committee. The non relative portion of the tapes should remain the White House's business. The Vice President said the transcriptions which the White BYPAULBEATTY Sentinel Staff Writer Quail Hollow Rancid-earmarked in the San Lorenzo Valley area General Plan draft for possible county acquisition, has been purchased by the Santa Clara County School District.

The 300-acre pastoral ranch is in escrow and expected to close in July. Purchase price was $600,000 to the present owners Mr. and Mrs. Harry Owen. "We recognize it's an absolutely beautiful piece of land and we plan to leave the property in its original state," commented Dr.

Glenn Hoffmann, Santa Clara County Superintendent today. He said his board of trustees approved the purchase and that the property, located at the north comer of the intersection of Quail Hollow Road and Zayan-te Road, will be used "for nature studies and developing environmental understanding." Dr. Hoffmann said the ranch (Continued On Page I) (Continued on Page 3) claimed it had only allocated $190,000 for the salary payments and the back pay would raise this to about $250,000 for salary increases. Judge Brauer, however, said, "On its face, that agreement (between the district and teachers) is unambiguous. It provided the salary schedule shall be put into effect as of July 1, 1971, in other words, retroactively." After considering the school district's counter arguments, the judge ruled they were "not of such persuasiveness as to overcome the plain meaning of the agreement," and ordered a judgment in favor of the teachers.

The Santa Cruz City school district must pay its teachers about $60,000 in back salaries, the Santa Cruz Superior Court ruled Wednesday. Judge Harry F. Brauer declared that a "memorandum of understanding" signed by the school district trustees and teachers organization does require back payment of salaries during the 1971 federal wage price freeze. The school district had claimed the wage price freeze wiped out a provision in the agreement calling for back payments between the time the agreement was signed Oct. 11.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Black men were being stopped by police on San Francisco streets today and questioned and subjected to a records check, an extraordinary measure prompted by the "Zebra" killings. Some men were stopped three or more times and many expressed resentment, but generally, said police, people recognized the need for the manhunt.

Police refused to say how many blacks were stopped, but conceded they were stopping every man who met the general description of a slender black, man of medium height seen at three of the random, unprovoked attacks over the last five months. "Extraordinary situations like this call for extraordinary measures," Mayor Joseph L. Alioto said Wednesday. "Mass murderers are simply roaming the streets of San Francisco, killing people at random, without any real motive or without any real sense. This can't be investigated as a regular murder." The patrols were heaviest in the evening, when the attacks occurred.

"The huge percentage of black people understand the seriousness of the case and they want these people apprehended as much as white people do." said Mortimer -Mclnemey, cap tain of inspectors. "We're trying to be selective. There's no reason to stop 90 per cent of the black men. The other 10 per cent aren't all out on the street." --t The search was led by 150. specially picked officers, but every policeman in the city was participating, Mclnemey said.

Capt. Jeremiah Taylor, supervising patrol captain, acknowledged that the attention to Zebra "obviously meant a cur-tailment of routine police operations, including traffic pa-' trols." When a man is stopped, Taylor said, police check his identification and run a record check. That takes from one to IS minutes. Nelson T.

Washington Garner, the black president of the Police Commission, urged the city's blacks, "If you are stopped, don't resent it Show your identification and, if necessary, permit a search."
