(Independent-Joumal photo) $30,000 In Fire Damage To Homes Fire caused heavy damage last night and today to homes in three Marin County communities, but no injuries were reported. The blazes, in San Rafael, Sausalito and San Anselmo, caused a total of $30,000 in damage. The most serious fire occurred in San Rafael, where the home of James L.

Thompson at 317 Glen Park Avenue received $20,000 damage in a blaze which broke out shortly after midnight. The fire started when clothing in a dryer caught fire as a result of an attempt to relight the gas unit. Flames spread throughout the laundry area, then to a hallway, dining room, living room and roof. The rest of the house suffered heat and smoke damage. About $5,000 damage u'as reported at the home of Dr.

Robert M. Perlman at 416 North Street, Sausalito, when fire erupted from an overheated sauna. The blaze, at 9:10 p.m., also knocked out electrical service in the area for several hours. In the third blaze, a carport of a duplex occupied by Janet Barrosi at 52-54 Tamalpais Avenue incurred about $5,000 damage. A paper light shade which caught on fire was blamed.

One auto parked in the carport was damaged and another was saved. Return To Prison Is Being Fought A last minute legal effort to keep an Oakland ironworker from going back to San Quentin Prison on a technicality was undertaken today by attorney Salle S. Solady. going to file in Marin Superior Court and in federal court in San Francisco for a stay of Mrs. Sola- day said.

If her efforts fail, Frank A. Nubin, 46. who has been free on bail for 22 months, will have to reenter prison Friday, under an order issued reluctantly by Marin Superior Court Judge E. Warren McGuire. Nubin was sent to prison in 1961 on an assault with a deadly weapon charge.

Paroled in 1967, his final discharge was set for Jan. 4.1969. Because of a quarrel with his wife on Christmas Eve, 1968, the California Adult Authority revoked his parole. fate hung on the date of that revocation. Mrs.

Soladay contended that the revocation came after the final discharge date of Jan. 4, 1969, whereas the adult authority maintained that the parole was revoked on Jan. 3, and written documents giving a Jan. 31 date were due to a clerical error. Judge McGuire last Friday ordered Nubin back into custody.

He acknowledged today that it was a technical revocation just 24 hours before discharge. I were the Authority, I could not in good conscience send him McGuire said. But under the law and the facts presented, he said the Adult Authority had technically acted within the legal penod. Log Cabin At Boyd Park Hit By Fire A small log cabin, built at the home of a Mexican War veteran in the 1870s and later moved to Boyd Memorial Park as a play house, was severely damaged by fire in San Rafael last night. Fire Chief Robert E.

Marcucci said the cabin, located above the main play area, was hit by fire of unknown origin at 10:48 p.m. Flames broke through the roof and charred the sides of the cabin. A link with past, the Two Indicted For Death Of Guard The Marin County Grand Jury last night indicted two San Quentin convicts for the fatal stabbing of a guard who was slain while protecting the life of a wounded prisoner. on murder charges were Earl Billy Gibson, 28, serving a life term for first degree burglary in 1965 in Los Angeles County, and Lawrence 28, convicted in 1968 on two felony assaults and grand theft in Los Angeles County. They were accused of murdering correctional officer Leo Gaston Davis, 38, of Richmond, in the prison hospital on July 21.

Davis was on guard duty outside the hospital cell containing inmate Herman Earl Johnson, 25, who had been stabbed in the prison yard two days earlier. Johnson had apparently become a marked man because he testified in the trial of seven Soledad Prison inmates accused of killing a guard there a year earlier, prison authorities said. Davis, unarmed according to then-standing policy, was guarding the door to cell when a group of convicts attacked him. Although David died of nine stab wounds, the convicts were unable to get at his ward. MADDEN Continued from page 1 cials was the future of the sandspit area east of Humboldt at Anchor Street, now held by Madden under lease from the city until the year 2003.

St. Cyr, in a memorandum to the council recommending conditional approval of the use permit, endorsed a plan under which Madden would be granted building bonuses in other portions of the development if the city could regain immediate control of the spit area. Roland Mays, architect for Madden, had indicated at the Oct. 20 planning commission session that either his client should be allowed to develop the spit area or the city should buy back the lease or compensatory development should be allowed in another portion of the property. Aside from the recreation and sandspit issues, letter objected that the planning commission had trimmed the number of propsoed parking spaces for the development from 312 to 270.

Madden said the reduction would add to the city's parking. Madden, whose proposal had been before city officials since May, also noted taxes were running $22,000 a year on his property in the absence of expansion. hand-hewn cabin was built at the Fifth Avenue and Street home of Maj. George W. Stillwell, a veteran of the Mexican War and former Marin supervisor.

by Charles H. Fish, a miner and gardener who cared for the grounds at the residence. Fish notched the logs with an ax and erected the cabin much as early settlers had done. The building was discovered in later years when Dr. Leo L.

Stanley of Fairfax, longtime Marinite and historian, owned the Stillwell land. It was moved in 1968 to its present site when the city bought the Stanley property to build a new city hall. ECONOMY Continued from page 1 meanwhile, made a fresh attempt to resolve the dilemma of how far to go in granting exceptions to its rule against retroactive wage increases that were blocked by the 90-day freeze. The 15-member board convened at midmoming to pick up where it left off in a long session Tuesday which produced no decision a refusal to go along with labor insistence on permitting full retroactive payments. The board is under pressure from teacher groups to permit payment of higher salaries teachers were due at the start of the new term, but which were blocked in most cases wnen the freeze was imposed by President Nixon Aug.

15, prior to opening of the fall term. Chairman George H. Bolt said the staff also was studying the newly negotiated soft coal industry contract which was said to contain a wage increase of nearly 40 per cent. The board has set a general guideline of 5.5 per cent for annual pay raises, but made clear exceptions would be considered.

The County of Sonoma plans to develop a play and barbecue area adjacent to the city boat launching ramp off Lakeville Highway.

WASHINGTON (UPD -The Senate rejected 64 to 25, today a move to merely suspend, rather than repeal, the federal excise tax on new cars. Senators decided to go along with President proposal to kill the 7 per cent tax. Nixon predicted an upsurge in auto sales resulting from removal of the levy would create half a million jobs. Sen. Alan Cranston, sponsored the motion to suspend the tax between Aug.

15, 1971, and Jan. 1, 1973. Cranston also proposed that the money raised by the tax be used for mass transit, air pollution and other transportation needs. He said the tax would raise about $20 billion between 1973 and 1981. Sen.

Wallace F. Bennett, R- Utah, speaking against the Cranston proposal, said it would create chaos in the auto industry. would want to buy a car before the price goes Bennett said, creating what he said would be intolerable distortion in an industry which directly or indirectly employs one out of every six workers in the country. amendment was offered to President request to cut taxes by $15.5 billion a year over the next three years. Amendments tacked on to the bill by the Senate still short of ultimate enactment would raise the three-year total by more than $10 biliion, mostly through additional tax relief for individuals.

Business firms also would benefit from Senate changes. In back to-back votes, senators agreed to proposals to give tax relief to firms which locate plants in declining rural areas or in urban ghettoes. The proposals, adopted Tuesday night as amendments to President tax would give a total of $750 million a year in tax cuts as an inducement to firms to build plants in those areas. Sen. James B.

Pearson, R- proposed the $500 million tax cut to firms which locate in rural areas which have lost population. Sen. Abraham Ribi- coff, then submitted a $250 million cut for plants which locate in central cities with more than 6 per cent unemployment. Other amendments offered today would increase Social Security benefits next year by 5 per cent and would give states more than $1 billion to meet rising welfare costs. Both were expected to be defeated on the grounds that the Senate can best deal with the issue next year when the House-passed welfare reform bill, which also provides a 5 per cent Social Security increase in pensions, is expected to reach the Senate floor.

In voting on the major tax bill, the Senate: Voted to give taxpayers at or below the poverty level a $992 million tax cut on their 1971 income. The amendment, by Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D- would increase the minimum standard deduction to $1,300 for taxes on 1971 earnings instead of for 1972 and future years as proposed by the Senate Finance Committee. amendment would relieve 2.7 million poor taxpayers of all tax liability for 1971 earnings.

THAI Continued from page 1 had seized full power an hour earlier. UPI photographer Anant Chumchuen reported that M41 tanks had moved into position around the parliament building. Foreign Minister Thanat Kho- man, who was attending a dinner at the Foreign Corre- spndents Club when the coup was announced, told newsmen all of international agreements be respected and Internal bickering had been reported over decision to vote for admission of Red China to the United Nations but Thanat said he doubted if China policy had anything to do with the was an internal thing; it was due to abuses of parliamentary and democratic Lot Motion Is Made By Wornum 'The Marin County Board of decision yesterday to permit the City of San Rafael to blacktop the old county courthouse site for a parking lot was made on a motion by Supervisor Michael Wornum. The Independent-Joumal erred yesterday in reporting the motion was made by Supervisor John F. Mclnnis.

Mclnnis seconded it. Continued from page 1 one Wildcat cheer revised for the day. Student body Pres. Paul Matthew said the students had intended to walk out of classes about 10 a.m. and stage a rally in support of the striking teachers at the entrance to the school.

Both striking teachers and students themselves said the planned walkout was the idea of students and had not been instigated by the teachers. Following a search of the building and grounds by working faculty and staff, the students were ordered to return to their classrooms. Most did, but about 100 gathered near the picketing teachers, an area declared off-limits for students by Rev. John Heaney, dean of students, according to Matthew. Students who were on their lunch hour were allowed to remain near the pickets, but those with classes were ordered to return to the school building.

Most said they were on their lunch break. Bechtold disputed a claim made by Father Lacey yesterday that things were going at the school despite the strike by 14 teachers, including four sympathetic nuns. He said the fact that some students were on their lunch period at 9:30 a.m. today indicated things were not going that smoothly. The lay teachers are members of the Secondary Teachers Association which went on strike Monday in a salary dispute against seven Bay Area schools operated by the San Francisco Archdiocese.

Bechtold said the striking teachers sent a telegram last night to Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken, who he said was in Washington, D.C. The telegram said the teachers were willing to negotiate at any time and urged the archbishop to return to San Francisco to negotiate with them. Father Bernard Cummins, superintendent of the Archdiocesan schools, said yesterday that negotiations with the teachers would resume tomorrow'. NIXON Continued from page 1 which the war should be brought to a conclusion.

signing of the bill that contains this section, therefore, will not change the policies I have pursued and that I shall continue to pursue toward this The bill Nixon signed sets aside $1.1 billion for the Safeguard antiballistic missile system and also sets a limitation of $321.5 million for all appropriations for the CSA cargo plane this fiscal year, in addition to funds for other weapons procurement. Nixon said that the fact of his signing the bill would not alter his policy. He defined it as follows: goal my hope --is a negotiated settlement providing for the total withdrawal of all foreign forces, including our own; for the release of all prisoners and for a ceasefire throughout SECURITY Continued from page 1 points would not be worth the risk, Baar reasoned. Arrigoni, meanwhile, said he felt are too many involved in reducing security. The $32,000 which could be- saved this fiscal year my he said.

is the people who work here the people who come here they are the ones we have to put a value on. I think today is the day to lessen it were not for the San Quentin uprising sure I would vote to decrease Mclnnis said. Among speakers opposing relaxing security were Sheriff Louis P. Mountanos, Winifred S. Frederick of the Irate Taxpayers of Marin and Harold Stockstad of the Marin Council for Civic Affairs.

Favoring relaxation, as recommended by Barrows, were County Librarian Bruce I). Bajema and Marge Nacris of the county planning department. The supervisors, in agreeing to continue security, said they wanted a study on the insurance risk when security is dropped since, they said, insurance companies may not be interested in covering the building without internal security. They also requested study of possibly setting up checkpoints inside the Civic Center where the Administration Building leads into the Hall of Justice. That idea had been discussed at length during the meeting, but dropped because of inadequate information.
