United States expressed its understanding as to why Israel would react forcibly to terrorist attacks. President Nixon said in Washington that "what was a major roadblock to any permanent settlement has now been removed." He said prospects for a permanent Middle East peace now are "better than they have been at any time over the past 25 years." Israeli and Syrian commanders will sign the pact in Geneva on Friday, and the fighting, now in its 79th day, is to stop and prisoners on both sides freed at that time.

The announcement on the disengagement, made simultaneously in Washington, Jerusalem and Damascus, came on the 32nd day of Kissinger's current peace mission.

Sources said Israel originally insisted that Syria committ itself on paper to restrain the guerrillas, but Kissinger couldn't get the Syrians to do this.

Ken Coon, 38, of Conway, executive director of the state GOP, won the gubernatorial nomination. With 2,674 of 2,794 precincts reporting, the unofficial tally showed Bumpers with 357,802 votes, or 65 per cent, and Fulbright with 193,218, or 35 per cent.

Jim Smyth, spokesman for the council, said strikers were being told to return to work because "we don't feel there is any point in prolonging the hardship." But he left open the possibility that unless their demands were met the strike will begin again.

It has been suspended, not called off completely, he said. Smyth said there would be a phased return to work, and that heavy industry could not resume until Monday because sufficient power would not be available until then. However, the council sent some utility workers back to work today. In London, Britain's administrator for Northern Ireland, Merlyn Rees, said Britain will negotiate only with elected representatives and not with the strike leaders. "I shall give no concessions or negotiations to people at tempting to change the political situation in this way.

That is firm, and I have the firm support of my colleagues on this," he said. Rees said a "short-term solution" to the constitutional crisis would be for civil servants to run the provincial government, but eventually power sharing by Protestants and Catholics would be "the only way out of the Northern Ireland problem." He spoke as Prime Minister Harold Wilson prepared to meet with his cabinet to discuss ways to solve the crisis in Northern Ireland, prompted by the resignation Tuesday of Protestant members of Chief Minister Brian Faulkner's Executive, the provincial government. Strike leaders wanted an end to Northern Ireland's first attempt at sharing power between its Protestant majority and its Roman Catholic minority. They got it, at least temporarily. (Continued on Page 2) By WALLACE WOOD Sentinel Staff Writer New high school graduation requirements which may dramatically alter the way students learn in future years was adopted unanimously Tuesday night by the Santa Cruz City Board of Education.

Most significant and exciting to students is a plan to allow up to one fourth of high school work to be done by "challenging" course requirements. This probably will mean students can avoid taking classes in subjects they already know if they can prove their knowledge by examination. Another is a switch to a much more liberal system of physical education, which will allow students a wide choice in meeting a P.E. requirement. The board policy encourages "imaginative or innovative solutions," and said it does not intend to just give "lip service" to P.E.

programs. A third change is a subtle switch which puts the responsibility for learning on the student. Just attending classes for four years with barely passing grades won't be enough to graduate. Students will have to prove by examination they can read, would have control of the joint plant facility. The council then rejected the proposal.

The city is vigorously opposing giving the district directors any management or ownership control over the Neary Lagoon facility, saying it (Continued on Page 2) said earlier he would remove it and make public grand jury transcripts unless attorneys for either side objected Attorney- Clinton White of Oakland, who represents Green. Simon and Moore, said: "It is the desire of the defense not to have any so-called gag rule. We see no need for it." Assistant Dist. Atty. Robert Podesta asked that the gag rule remain in effect.

"It will protect both sides rights to a fair trial," he said. Three of the men were arrested May 1 in early morning raids. Cooks already was serving a life sentence in Folsom State Prison for murdering a woman here last year. A gag order originally was imposed by Municipal Court tried to stop integration at Little Rock's Central High School in 1957. Former congressman David H.

Pryor, 39, appeared headed for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination over Faubus and Lt. Gov. Bob Riley. Pryor claimed victory early today with incomplete and unof-ficial returns giving him a majority of the vote, which he needs to avoid a runoff. Faubus, governor from 1955 to 1966, refused to concede defeat.

Riley was third. Fulbright, who went into the Senate in 1944, told voters before the election he would "cheerfully accept" the verdict if they chose to retire him. But he, like Bumpers, whose high popularity was unquestioned, said he was surprised at how soundly he was defeated. "I must be easily deceived because at no time did I detect such an overwhelming majority for the governor," Fulbright said. Last Sunday he was saying his poll showed him slightly ahead.

Fulbright said today in an interview on the NBC-TV "Today" program that he thinks his defeat was due in part to general dissatisfaction with conditions in Washington. "This is somewhat a reflection of 'throw everybody out' in Washington, because they're dissatisfied with Washington," he said. "I think it's partly that. I wouldn't want to take anything away rom the governor's success." Economy Declined In April WASHINGTON (AP) The government reported today that its indicators of future trends in the economy declined in April, primarily because people are putting in shorter work weeks. The Commerce Department said its composite index of leading business indicators showed a drop of seven-tenths of one per cent from March.

It was the first drop since December and the third drop in a year. Secretary of Commerce, Frederick B. Dent noted that the index has advanced 3 6 per cent since the first of the year and said "the basic business signal given by the index" for the year is favorable despite last month's decline. Dent said the April decline following three months of advance "points up the erratic nature of many economic series in recent months." The Commerce Department said that of the indicators showing a decline the most significant was for the average work week. That indicator declined by about 2.2 percent.

Contributing to the decline in the work week, according to a Labor Department analysis, was a cut by four-fifths of an hour in average overtime. The indicator also declined because the employment survey was taken during the week before Easter and included Good Friday, when workers apparently took leave time. Other indicators showing a decline were stock prices and building permits. The declines more than offset improvements in the indicators for new orders for durables, orders for plant and equipment, industrial materials prices, the ratio of the price of goods to their labor cost and new claims for unemployment insurance. The index for the indicators stood at 172.3 compared to a revised figure of 173 5 for March.

The index had advanced steadily over the first three months of the year showing an average increase of 14 percent. Italian General Strike ROME (AP) More than half a million Italians demonstrated today against Fascist violence, while left-wing extremists attacked rightist targets with bombs, stones and fire in various cities. All activities from industry to the stock market were idle in a a 1 f-day nationwide strike called to protest the bomb attack which killed six and injured 94 during an anti-Fascist rally in Brescia on Tuesday. Unions and all parties except rightist Italian Social Move-' ment joined in organizing mass rallies in all Italian cities. Police estimated more than 500,000 persons marched in demonstrations held from the Alps to Sicily.

Police said order prevailed as a whole. But in Rome, Milan and other cities they reported squads of leftist youths, roamed through the streets and attacked anything and anyone they linked with right-wing extremism. In Milan, dozens of youths threw gasoline bombs and stones at cafes where rightwing extremists like to meet. They set one cafe afire and fled before police rushed to the scene. Other groups hurled two gasoline bombs at the Milan offices of the Spanish airline Iberia, shattering the windows and setting furniture afire.

It was the third attack against the Iberia office in two months. The Spanish airline became a target of leftist anger following reports that rightist extremists wanted by police have found refuge in Spain. Police clashed with youths trying to raid the offices of Can-dido, a rightist Milan-based magazine whose headquarters were destroyed by an explosion in 1972. Four policemen were injured in today's clash. Judge Agnes O'Brien Smith to prohibit prejudicial statements by parties to the case and limit new media coverage.

It later was modified by an appeals court to remove some media restrictions. Colvin imposed a similar order when the case moved to his court. Thirteen persons have been killed and seven others wounded in the unprovoked "Zebra" slayings which started eight months ago. The case is called Zebra after the radio channel used by police assigned to hunt for the attackers in the largest manhunt ever in San Francisco. Mayor Joseph Alioto has said the Zebra assaults are the work of a fanatical cult of black separatists called "Death Angels" bent on murder and mutilation of whites and dissident SC Councilman Warns About Sanitation Debt the council was the consideration of the formation of a six member board to set standards for sewage treatment and to advise the city and district on sanitation matters.

James D. St. Clair said Tuesday that the dispute over tapes subpoenaed by special prosecutor Leon Jaworski should be decided by the U.S.

Court of Appeals before any involvement of the Supreme Court. Jaworski has asked the high court to step into the case. Meanwhile, Jaworski said there is evidence that Nixon probably discussed with aides use of the Internal Revenue Service to, audit and harass political enemies, and he asked a federal court to turn over to him a White House tape which he believes contains that conversation. Discussing Jaworski's Supreme Court request with reporters, St. Clair said: "Cases that are concerned with constitutional issues ought to be carefully considered by the courts, and I think it would be appropriate that these matters not be short-cutted." He said he would so advise the court on Thursday.

A U.S. District Court has ruled that Nixon must surrender the tapes and St. Clair asked the appeals court last Friday to overturn the ruling. BILL NEUBAUER Sentinel Staff Writer Residents of the (mid i County Sanitation District were warned Tuesday that they could "end up with the biggest overhead sewer system in the county." The warning came from Vernon Smith of the Santa Cruz City Council during lengthy council discussion of the refusal of sanitation district directors to pay more than $350,000 the city claims the district owes for work done on the Neary Lagoon sewer treatment plant expansion. The expansion work is part of a consolidated sew er project the city is undertaking with the district to handle treatment of sewage to be sent from the Capitola and East Cliff areas.

But the city got some bad news, in turn, from Deputy-County Counsel ClairCarlson. Carlson announced that the sanitation district has been hit with a law suit by a group called Concerned Taxpayers of Santa Cruz County that would enjoin the district from going ahead with the project because of an inadequate environmental impact report. SeePage20) The suit goes to court June 19. Then in response to a suggestion from Councilmem-ber Sally DiGirolamo that the district pay its bills before the lawsuit is heard.
