Glenn Campbell, who led the "think tank" that spawned many of the ideas and leaders of the Reagan presidency, is abandoning his threat to fight his ouster by Stanford University.

Campbell said he expects a satisfactory end Thursday to the academic, political and legal dispute that has split the campus and angered conservatives from California to Washington and Wall Street. Campbell, a close friend of President Reagan and a member of his original "Kitchen Cabinet," said the Hoover institution on War, Revolution and Peace will keep its independence from Stanford and remain an important policy research center. Reagan, an honorary fellow at Hoover, charted his course as California governor and in the White House with the help of advisers from Hoover, including economists Martin Anderson and Milton Friedman. "I hope the president will come here regularly again after he gets over his annoyance with Stanford's administration and faculty," Campbell said, referring to the university's rejection last year of the Reagan library and policy center. Departing Attorney General Edwin Meese has accepted Campbell's invitation to join Hoover as a visiting fellow while he writes a book on his years with, Reagan.

Secretary of State George P. Shultz will go there to work on a series of documentaries on policymaking at the State Department while he teaches a public policy course at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. After leading Hoover since 1960, Campbell proposes to step aside as director when he turns 65 next April, though he would retain a significant advisory role, He said he would hold the title of counselor, serve as ex officio member of all selection and advisory committees, and stay in his current office, formerly occupied by founder and President Herbert Hoover. "I used to be a young warrior, now I'm an aging warrior but not yet an old warrior," he said in an interview before presenting his proposal to Hoover's Board of Overseers. Anderson described Campbell as "the premier intellectual entrepreneur of the century" but said his retirement "makes a lot of sense." Anderson will sit on a 10-person search committee for Campbell's successor.

Campbell's surprise announcement comes two months after he vowed to sue Stanford if it tried to oust him at 65, five years before he planned to leave, on the grounds it was the customary retirement age at the university. The university's trustees offered to continue Campbell's relationship with Hoover as a senior fellow and director emeritus. Campbell, who noted several exceptions to the rule, called Stanford's action "an attempted takeover" motivated by politics and greed. Stanford president Donald Kennedy and former trustees' president Warren Christopher were Carter administration officials, and the majority of faculty are Democrats. "The problem quite starkly is that the people who run Stanford are obviously not satisfied with the political balance that's overwhelmingly on their side," Republican Sen.

Cremation Services were conducted by SANTA CRUZWATSONVILLE CREMATION SERVICE, 1570 Soquel Santa Cruz. Interment private. 7,19,174 McClatchy News Service SACRAMENTO Just two years ago, Gov. George Deukmejian's lack of a passport was a nettlesome issue in his re-election campaign. Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, his Democratic opponent in the 1986 gubernatorial election, routinely criticized Deukmejian for the absence of state trade offices overseas and his stay-at-home approach to trade.

But Deukmejian, who countered then that Bradley had "seen more foreign airports than a lost suitcase," has since become a world traveler himself. He embarks Friday on a two-week trip to promote California products and trade in Australia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and the Republic of Korea. Last year he opened California trade offices in Tokyo and London. By early next year he plans to open a third in Mexico City. And as the new chairman of the Western Governors' Association, he has chosen the phrase "going global" to emphasize international competitiveness as the organization's theme for the year.

"I think you're seeing further examples of how serious he is about making this a major priority of his administration," said Deukmejian communications director Jim Robinson, who coordinates the administration's international trade efforts. "He never said that it was inappropriate for a governor to adopt that kind of role," he said. "He just wanted to do it at the right time, and when he felt that his other responsibilities would allow it." Robinson said Deukmejian devoted his trade efforts in his first term to developing support in Sacramento for an international outreach. "It wasn't time for the governor to go on a visible trade mission or to open a trade office," he said. "It makes no sense whatsoever to have a trade office in Tokyo uncovering a trade lead if that office has nowhere to turn to in Sacramento." Deukmejian said his emphasis on tapping foreign markets is also an outgrowth of increasing diversity in California and other Western states.

"We're getting larger and larger sized communities of people from Pacific Rim nations that are living now in the states," he told reporters last week. "We have a large Korean community in California, a large Hispanic community, a large Filipino community, a large Vietnamese community. With that kind of development, there's just going to be this natural interest in seeing more international commerce going back and forth, with the kinds of contacts that we'll be developing from those communities within our states. He said one out of 10 jobs in California now are related to trade. "We have had for a long time in California major communities made up of Japanese and Chinese," Deukmejian said.

"Because of those factors and because of our strategic location, the major ports, the transportation systems in the West it's just a natural for us. The more we can expand those markets, the greater number of jobs we're going to be able to create." Deukmejian's latest trip, which will include events sponsored by California businesses, will cost the state $6,000 a person for the governor and staff members who accompany him. 475-6880 ry aania vreuiauun service 1570 Soquel Drive Santa Cruz 95060 NOQMANS family chaoel U.S. welcomes Iran's Censorship moves toward peace Index editor dead at 60 i HART In Santa Cruz, California on July 17, 1988.

He was 69. Blois, who also founded the Melanoma Clinic at UC San Francisco, died Friday at Stanford Hospital after a brief hospitalization. Blois, born in Texas but who was raised and spent most of his life on the Peninsula, was a 1941 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was assigned to the USS Henley, a destroyer that was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine on Oct.

3, 1943. A lieutenant at the time, Blois and other survivors of the Henley's crew were in the water seven hours before they were rescued by another ship. He began his medical studies at Stanford University, where he earned a Ph.D in physics, then a medical degree. In 1957, he was identified as a pioneer in the new field of biophysics when he read his report on the connection between molecular fragments and skin cancer at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society. Blois continued his work in skin cancer as a professor of dermatology at UC-San Francisco beginning in 1969, and he founded the Melanoma Clinic at the university in 1971.

BIRTHS (U.S. military) ship presence will go down," Shultz said. "Just when that will be apparent remains to be seen." U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar announced Monday that Iran unconditionally accepted a U.N. resolution calling for a cease-fire in the war.

Iraq had accepted the resolution after it was passed in July 1987, on condition that Iran did so. Shultz said the United States remains "prepared for direct discussions with them (Iranians) on all manner of issues that concern us. We want these discussions to be on an official, authoritative basis." He said indirect talks had been held earlier through Swiss and other intermediaries. Asked about Japanese offers to help resolve the Iran-Iraq conflict, Shultz said it was a "very good development" that Japan was becoming more involved in major international problems. Foreign Minister Sosuke Uno told a news conference Tuesday that Japan should fill civilian posts in a U.N.

peacekeeping force if one is dispatched to the Iran-Iraq front. Japanese officials also said Tokyo would consider resuming development assistance to both warring nations once peace was TOKYO (AP) Secretary of State George P. Shultz said Tuesday that Washington was ready for talks with Iran and welcomed that country's acceptance of a U.N. resolution to end the bloody war with Iraq. But he sajd U.S.

warships would remain in the Persian Gulf until they were no longer needed to protect American-flag vessels and ensure freedom of navigation. Shultz spoke near the conclusion of his last and longest trip to Asia as secretary of state. He flies Wednesday to the new Marshall Islands-' Republic, completing a nine-country, 2-week trip through Asia and the Pacific. At anews conference following meetings with Japan's leaders, Shultz 'Said "the relationship between the United States and Japan right now is as good, as healthy as it has ever been in my observation of it." On the Persian Gulf, Shultz said the increase in U.S. military strength in that region last summer was in response to attacks on international shipping as part of the Iran-Iraq war, which began in September 1980.

Iraq attacks Iranian economic targets to cut off the oil exports that finance the war, and Iran retaliates by raiding neutral merchant vessels. "If the problems go away, the The New York Times George Theiner, editor of the Index on Censorship issued by Writers and Scholars International, died of cancer Sunday in London, where he lived. He was 60 old. Theiner, who was born in Prague, went to England with his parents in March 1939, shortly after Nazi Germany occupied Czechoslovakia. He returned to his homeland at the end of World War II to join the English-language service of CTK, the official Czechoslovak news agency.

When Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 he left for England, and for three years worked for publishers before joining the newly founded Writers and Scholars International and becoming assistant director of the index, which draws attention to the work of writers whose work is suppressed for political reasons In their own countries. He became director of Writers and Scholars and editor of the Index in 1982.

Police speculate that witnesses who recently came forward reconsidered after Stevenson was shot to death two years ago.

Shearer said none of the slated witnesses claim to have seen Hoffman killed but that at least one will swear he saw the four men sodomize Hoffman and force him to orally copulate them at a house in San Jose. Thompson said the only evidence linking Dollar to Hoffman is a statement by Dollar's wife, Cathi Dollar, who made conflicting claims about her husband's involvement. "Some of the people have already told three or four inconsistent versions. They are talking about stuff seen or heard 10 years ago," said Thompson. Hodges is represented by Deputy Public Defender Frances Cavagnero.

Shearer expects the preliminary hearing to last at least until the end of the week. Regular: 8550 witness, attorneys said. Mrs. Hoffman's refusal to let the case die led San Jose police detectives to recently revive the investigation, said homicide Sgt. John Kracht.

The body of the then 20-year-old Hoffman has never been found. Witness Bob Loar, a friend of Hoffman's, said at the hearing that he last saw the motorcycle enthusiast being chased down a San Jose street on his Harley by two men on motorcycles, according to attorneys for both sides. Hoffman's motorcycle is decorated with a red tank with yellow flames and has an extended front wheel, said Dollar's attorney, James McNair Thompson of San Jose. Loar could not identify anyone now but 10 years ago picked out a picture of a fourth man, deceased biker Michael Stevenson, from a police file, said Deputy District Attorney Donald Shearer. Mrs.

Hoffman, during her own investigation, SAN JOSE (AP) A mother's 10-year effort to solve her son's suspected murder continued Tuesday in a Santa Clara County courtroom, where a prosecutor tried to link the man's disappearance to bikers who allegedly wanted to steal his motorcycle. The preliminary hearing will determine whether Michael Allen Hodges, 36, of Sunnyvale, and Richard Morris Dollar, 32, of San Jose, should stand trial for murder in connection with the presumed death of Gus Hoffman. Hoffman disappeared about 10 years ago while riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Missing from the county municipal court hearing was Hoffman's mother, Rose Hoffman, 53, of San Jose, whose relentless search through the city's biker bars helped lead to the arrest last month of Dollar and Hodges and charges againt a third fugitive John "Sluggo" Stelle.
