The piece criticizes Republican leaders in California for delaying a veto override on the death penalty bill. It condemns the tactic as opportunistic ahead of next year’s elections and argues the Legislature is the proper arena for any override. The editorial warns the party risks obsolescence if it pursues this strategy.
In Fremont a 70 year extension for a southern edge quarry passed 4 to 1 amid environmental ire and protest from Rep Don Edwards. The piece argues jobs and tax revenue justify the facility while hoping for balanced restrictions to keep the wildlife refuge nearby a satisfactory neighbor.
A letter discusses stricter enforcement of handicapped parking spaces. It contrasts patrols and incidents with empty reserved spots at banks and shopping centers, noting most people support easier access while some selfish drivers abuse the spaces. It urges public education to improve observance.
In a blistering critique, the piece accuses James Kilpatrick Carter of harming press freedom by backing a UN Security Council resolution against the Rhodesian Information Service. It portrays Carter as inconsistent, noting Andrew Young's role and detailing Towsey and Rhodesian materials in Washington.
A high school reader argues against reinstating the death penalty, calling it murder by the state and an act of revenge. The letter questions logical consistency, urging lawmakers to oppose capital punishment and warning against a society that uses death as punishment. Letters to the Editor instructions are noted.
Readers attack proposed toll hikes to cover losses at BAHT and SFMTA. They claim Bay Bridge users face a 50 percent price rise from eight to twelve dollars to fund failed systems like BART. The letter quotes frustration with officials, cites lack of public transit on the Peninsula, and criticizes Supervisor Doe Bort for supporting the plan.
James Ohara of San Leandro calls for voter action to remove officials and urges mass car travel through toll gates without payment to protest increases. He cites past civic courage from Boston 20 years ago and urges Oakland meetings attendance at the board of supervisors.
Hayward reports a mid day visit to the main post office where automated stamp vending machines rejected three $1 bills and coins at a Saturday closing. He asks if machines are checked before weekends and notes the expected five day week and rising postage.
The editor cites repeated disregard for five handicapped spaces near restaurant and hospital entrances. In 30 days four drivers out of 439 parked illegally, despite warnings, prompting questions about effective enforcement and the costs of accommodation.
Washington warns that Soviet military modernization is rapid and could erode U S technological advantages. U S computer firms including General Electric IBM Hewlett Packard Sperry Univac RCA and Control Data Corp have sold systems to the Soviet bloc, enabling nuclear research and advanced weaponry.
