Auto union will oppose drug testing DETROIT (AP) The United Auto Workers union has adopted a substance abuse policy that opposes drug testing and supports programs aimed at encouraging early treatment of drug users, the union says.

The policy adopted Wednesday by the 1.1-million-member union's international executive board rejects "the philosophy advocated by some that drug testing and punitive measures are the answer to substance abuse," the union said in a statement Thursday. The policy says every worker has the right to privacy and that worker evaluations should be based on job performance. "Our efforts must Be geared to removing the addiction and that can only be accomplished by making certain that those addicted to drugs or alcohol are treated for their illnesses, not fired for it," the statement said. In contracts with the Big Three automakers and other major employers, the union has adopted programs to assist workers suffering from alcoholism or drug dependency through referrals to appropriate treatment centers, it said.

Leonard Rubio, 18, of Benicia, was booked for investigation of murder in the death Thursday of Heather Dunn, 15, said Benicia police Lt. Mach Myovich.

Solano County mental health officials recommended that Rubio be held at the mental hospital in Napa for "at least a 72-hour evaluation period," Myovich said. Police said Rubio was arrested at the campus after officersfound him kneeling and cradling the unconscious girl in his arms. A gun was found nearby, officers said. Witnesses reported that Rubio had ridden his bicycle to the school and argued with Dunn during a break between classes. "He was crying and saying he didn't know it was loaded," student Shon Seism said.

The shooting rocked the small town of 23,000, located along the Car-quinez Strait about 30 miles northeast of San Francisco. Mayor Marilyn O'Rourke, a former teacher, said she would help out today as a substitute teacher at Board Vice Chairwoman Patricia Goldman, who will preside over the hearings, said 17 people were expected to testify in that part of the board's investigation. She said the board's final report would not be completed for several more months. The Starline Sightseeing Tour bus plunged off U.S. 395 into the raging river near Walker, about 90 miles south of Reno, while carrying a group of mostly elderly people back to a Santa Monica retirement home after a four-day outing in Reno.

The bodies of some of the victims Legislation to place an $800 million bond measure on the 1988 ballot was defeated in the Senate last month. There is no disagreement that California's schools are in need of more classroom space. Steentoft said the state's school-age popu- lation began growing a few years ago at an annual rate of 100,000 children, and that rate is expected to continue until 1995. She said the increase is attributable mainly to immigration from other countries and other states, and to the children of the so-called "baby-boomer" generation. The main bill in the package, by Assemblyman Larry Stirling, R-San Diego, grants school districts the right to levy developer fees to provide money for permanent build ing a nap," he said.

"The kids said the stun gun was even used on the feet of little babies," said Pinnatore. The couple could not be reached for comment about the police allegations. The Santiagos have operated a family day-care center since 1970 with no prior complaints, the state Department of Social Services reported. Deputy District Attorney Elaine Tipton said she will meet Friday Benicia High. "It's a small community," she said.

"When anything terrible or wonderful happens, everybody rallies together." Benicia Unified School District Superintendent Jon Slezak said a Thursday night school board meeting was canceled so that school officials could give their attention to preparing for school today. He said psychologists and counselors will help students to deal with the tragedy. "People hurt real bad," he said. "There's a lot to talk about I don't know if we can make any sense of it." Police Chief Pierre Bidou said Rubio will be charged with murder by the Solano County district attorney's office. School principal Laura Stephenson said Rubio had been active in football and track before graduating and was "a very personable kid." In its editions today, the Vallejo Times-Herald quoted students as saying Rubio had trouble at home and decided to enlist in the Army after learning he couldn't attend col-.

lege. "I think that's the thing that's striking everyone so deeply," said Stephenson. "This is a community of good kids." bus crash were recovered as far as 15 miles downstream from the crash in the river, which was near flood stage because of runoff from melting snow. The accident, the nation's worst bus crash in nearly six years, also injured 20 people. Ernst Klimeck, the 47-year-old driver who survived the crash, had been cited for speeding four times in the past 2 years and had been involved in two accidents, one while driving a Starline bus, according to the CHP.

for schools ings. Currently, only cities and counties can impose such fees. Steentofte said the average fee would total about $2,500, since the average single-family home is about 1,350 square feet. Stirling's bill also appropriates $30 million in federal funds for air conditioning and insulation for year-round schools. Another bill, by Sen.

Leroy Greene, D-Carmichael, increases the number of districts eligible for state aid. It also increases the standard for the amount of space each pupil should be allotted when classroom construction is planned. A measure by Sen. John Seymour, R-Anaheim, authorizes the spending from the tidelands oil fund, and a bill by Assemblywoman Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, makes technical changes in the other bills. stun guns with pediatricians and stun gun to decide whether to file felony or misdemeanor charges in connection with the allegations.

Stun guns administer shocks through two small electrodes. Investigators searched the Santiago home but did not find such a device, police said. The gun does not produce apparent bums or wounds but is painful, said Pinnatore. "The children said it was very much like sticking your finger in an exposed light socket," he said. signs $4 billion package SACRAMENTO (AP) The California Highway Patrol plans to release today the findings from its investigation of the May 30 tour bus crash into the Walker River that killed 21 elderly people.

The nearly 400-page report, compiled by the Multi-Disciplinary Accident Investigation Team over about three months, already has been turned over to the district attorney's office in Mono County, where the accident occurred, CHP spokeswoman Diane Foster said Thursday. Deputy District Attorney George Deukmejian By McClatchy News Service SACRAMENTO Although sup-oorters contend it is not enoueh. Gov. George Deukmejian signed a massive $4 billion, five-year construction program Thursday designed to relieve current and projected overcrowding in school tricts statewide. The major bill in the four-measure package gives school districts the right to impose developer fees of up to $1.50 per square foot for tial property and 25 cents per square foot for industrial and commercial uunuiligs.

Another bill in the package appropriates $150 million per year from the state tidelands oil fund. That money, coupled with the fees and the receipts from an $800 million bond measure expected to pass in November, would help districts cope with an estimated 25 percent increase in the number of school-age children by 1995, supporters said. But to provide the $4 billion total, an $800 million bond measure probably will be required in both 1988 and 1990, said Karen Steentofte, senior legislative advocate for the California School Boards Association. "The governor's package doesn't add up to $4 billion," Steentofte said. "It's not out there yet, and we don't like to count it until it is." Kevin Brett, a Deukemjian spokesman, said only two bond measures, in November and in 1988, were required to reach the $4 billion total.

Brett said the tidelands oil revenue would provide $600 million, the 'two bond measures would add $1.6 billion, and the developer fees would make up the difference. were shocked over the past year, including four infants. Pinnatore said other parents also have come forward and five children from the ages of 3 to 6 have told investigators they were disciplined with a battery-operated device. Investigators from the Department of Social Services and San Mateo County Child Protective Services have joined the police inquiry. "Some were shocked for talking while they were supposed to be tak Day-care operators accused of using DALY CITY (AP) Operators of a day-care program here have been accused of using an electric stun gun to disclipine youngsters, police said Thursday.
