SA Pmmmu (My, Krktay, May 8, Continued From Page One SEARCH Broward County sheriff's divers search for more evidence in a rock pit west of Fort Lauderdale Thursday where three bodies have been found. An apparent gang war motivated the gangland style slayings. (UPI) Three Bodies Found Near Fort Lauderdale FORT LAUDERDALE (UPI) Police checked Thursday for a link between the shooting deaths of three men in the Everglades this week and a motorcycle gang war in Massachusetts between the Hell's Angels and Lucifer's Henchmen. The unidentifeid victims were found in a pond near Andytown, Wednesday with their hands'tied behind their backs and weighted with concrete blocks. Each had an arm tatooed with "Hells Angels of Massachusetts." Autopsies were being Reactions Published By United Press International The Los Angeles Times said Thursday that many White House transcripts of President Nixon's Watergate talks with aides had a conspiratorial tone.

The Albany, N.Y., Knickerbocker News-Union-Star said they presented a scene of the Oval Office of the White House "perverted into a plotters and the character of the back room of a Mafia saloon." Many newspapers, in their first editorial comments, said the transcripts covering 1,308 legal size pages appeared to run counter to the interpretation the President put on them in announcing their release Monday. The Greenville (S.C.) News: "Because his credibility is low, the President's tormenters will not be satisfied with what has been released. Already we hear demands for the tapes themselves and muted allegations that tapes 'may' have been altered or destroyed. These charges will become strident within a few days. And so the whole dreary hassle probably will drag on and on." The Los Angeles Times: "Through many of the tapes, however, there is a conspiratorial tone.

The President and his chief aides seem, time and again, more concerned with self-serving manipulation and control of evidence than with the open and full pursuit of justice." The New York Post: "Despite all the protective editing and frustrating omissions, they clearly challenge the portrait of innocence presented in the White House summary, and they will be subjected to detailed scrutiny here and in many other places in the days ahead." The Albany, N.Y., Knickerbocker News Union Star: "What even a partial reading of that edited testimony reveals are the half-truths, the sly evasions and the audacious distortions the President indulged in during his address to the nation concerning tht; tapes Monday night. What they present is the scene of the Oval Room of the White House it might be said, by the President himself) perverted into a plotters hangout and so take on the aura and character of the back room of a Mafia saloon." REPORTED Employes of the Blue Dolphin Restaurant. 23rd Street and Beck Avenue reported to Panama City police Thursday the business had been broken into. The cigarette machine was forced opened and an undetermined amount of money and articles from a display case were taken. The building was entered by forcing open the back door.

performed and fingerprints taken. The fingerprinting and identification was expected to take some time because the bodies had been submerged in the rock pit for at least two days making the process more difficult. Officers theorized the men were shot on land at the edge of the rock pit and then shoved into the water because three independent pools of blood were found near the pond. Detective Captain Richard Courtney said he was checking the possibility the murders were linked to a shooting April 23 in Lynn, Mass. He said one Hells Angel was shot and killed and another seriously wounded, allegedly by members of a rival gang known as Lucifer's Henchmen.

But Sheriff Ed Stack cautioned there was no definite link between the two incidents yet. "We are not concluding that because of the tattoos on the bodies that the deaths are necessarily attributable to the victims' possible membership in the Hell's Angels of Massachusetts or any other motorcycle gang," Stack said. Courtney said the incident in Lynn occurred as Four Hell's Angel's were stting In a bar. He said men believed to be members of Lucifer's Henchmen fired from outside the bar, killing David Urban of Buffalo, N.Y., and seriously wounding Mark Vagerherbon of Menlo Park, Calif.

FIGHTS to allow committee counsel John Doar'to hear the tapes. But Warren said ord was not speaking for the White House. Doar told the committee that at least one of the transcripts proved to be inaccurate when it was compared to a White House tape which the impeachment investigators a I ea have.

During a 10-minute hearing in federal court, an attorney for Jaworski's office told Sirica tht the President gave up any claim of confidentiality regarding the 64 subpoenaed tapes when he released the transcripts earlier this week. But an attorney for Nixon countered that by releasing the transcripts "the President has not waived privilege on the tapes themselves." Nixon's attorneys made the same argument last year when they tried to quash a subpoena for nine tapes by Jaworski's predecessor, Archibald Cox. The argument was rejected in two courts and Nixon chose to surrender the tapes rather than appealing to the Supreme Court. Sirica also announced Thursday that he will receive a report Saturday from a court- appointed panel of experts which has been investigating an minute gap in one of the Watergate tapes which Nixon turned over last year. The experts concluded in a preliminary repdrt that the gap was caused by five manual erasures, indicating it was done deliberately.

Ha'aretz said Israel might give up the now razed city, about a mile behind the 1967 cease-fire line, if Syria would release the 65 Israeli prisoners it holds and agreed to a thinning out of forces on both sides.

ZEBRA CENTER Authorities in San Francisco believe that the Zebra killers operated out of the Black Self-Help Center on Market where most of the suspects and a police secret informer were employed. The center is primarily a moving and storage business. The store is now closed and there is no one on the premises. (UPI) 'Zebra' Search Continues Appointing Judges, Not Electing Them Proposed TALLAHASSEE (UPI) Warned of "real dangers" in making judges campaign for office, the House judiciary committee voted Thursday for a constitutional amendment that would let the legislature decide whether judges should be elected or appointed. The 1968 constitution currently requires election of judges.

The proposed constitution amendment would not automatically make them appointed state officials, but would let the legislature decide by statue whether they should be elected or appointed. The legislature could require election of some judges and appoinments of others, under the proposed amendment. "There are real dangers in judges running for office," Florida Bar President Earl Hadlow of Jacksonville told the committee. "I don't know what can have more possible opportunities for corruption than a judge going out and asking for large sums of cash to be elected," he said. "This raises immediate public suspicion and the process should be eliminated." If approved by two-thirds of the House and Senate, the proposed amendment would go on the November election ballot for a public referendum.

If the voters accept the change, Hadlow said he will ask lawmakers to introduce legislation next year making all judges appointed, rather than elected. "I don't see how a minority group member, a woman or a Spanish-speaking person could serve on the bench, with the appointment of judges," said Rep. Gwen Cherry, D-Miami, one of two Black women in the house. "It's hard enough to get fair minority representation in the courts right now," she said.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) San Francisco police said Thursday that even though they have arrested seven suspects there still may be more "Zebra" killers at large. Chief of Inspectors Charles Barca said that despite the arrest Wednesday of seven young men described as Black Muslims, the beefed-up police patrol during the search for the Zebra killers would continue. "We feel we have the Zebra killers, but we are not that omniscient that we cansay this is it, we have them all," Barca said. "There is a possibility that more arrests will develop both through the evidence and people who may now come forward." Barca had no comment on the sensational allegations by Mayor Joseph L. Alioto that the Zebra slayings were committed by members of a mysterious death sect called the "Death Angels." Alioto said the group was believed to be responsible for at least 73 murders and attempted murders throughout California in the past four years and perhaps many more.

He said the group had a "national leader" believed to be in an unnamed midwestern city. The Zebra killers are believed responsible for at least 12 and School Bus Bill Killed TALLAHASSEE (UPI) A bill aimed at seeing that children do not have to stand up on school buses was killed by the Senate Transportation Committee. The bill would have required routing and scheduling of school buses so that children are not standing while the bus is moving. Sponsors said it was dangerous to have kids standing in the aisles and crowded around exit doors. There have been instances of busses with a capacity for 70 carrying as many as 100 children.

The bill also carried a provision for a Department of Education study to determine the cost of adding additional buses so that children living within two miles of a school might be bussed under some circumstances. Current law limits the buses to youngsters who live two miles or more from their school. perhaps as many as 17 murders in San Francisco. In each case young black men have approached their white victim on the street and fired shots without warning. Their victims apparently were chosen at random.

An attorney fr the seven suspects said all were hardworking members of Black Muslim Temple 26 in San Francisco and at least six were engaged in "black self-help projects." "I can say of these men are involved as Zebra killers," said attorney Clinton White. "I've talked to all of them." The suspects, all from San Francisco, were being held in separate jail cells under tight License Bodies Get Criticism security charged with murder and conspiracy to commit They were J.C. Simon, 29; Larry Green, 22; Dwight Stalllngs, 28; Edgar D. Burton, 22; Manuel Moore, 28; Clarence Jamerson, 27, and Thomas Manney, 31. Little was known about them except for Manney, who was a one-time all-conference football halfback at San Francisco State College.

Barca said all suspects "are suspected of all of the 12 (known) murders, either through the count of commission of the crime or through conspiracy." Newcomer Fee Is Suggested TALLAHASSEE (UPI) Cities and counties could charge newcomers an admission charge, under a bill approved Thursday by the House community-affairs committee. The committee voted 10-3 to set up a nine-member commission that would have three years to work out a uniform system of "impact fees" to be levied on new housing tracts. The philosophy of the "impact fee" is that current residents of. a town should not have to pay higher property taxes to meet increased needs for sewage treatment, roads, schools, police patrols, a-d other municipal services that are strained by continued growth. If a new housing development needed a $1 million addition to the local sewage plant, for instance, the city might levy a one-time-only "impact fee" to raise the money rather than spreading the burden over current residents and newcomers alike.

Sponsors of the bill said that it would help the state inhibit its uncontrolled population growth, and limit construction in environmentally endangered area, where the pollution threat would be the most costly to TALLAHASSEE (UPI) A House commerce committee report charged Thursday Florida's 27 professional licensing boards and commissions are controlled by "vested interests" and must be made "more accountable to the public." report, an outgrowth of a commerce subcommittee investigation of the construction industry licensing board, criticizes that state department of professional and occupational regulation and charges that the professions, in effect, "regulate themselves."
