() - California's tart-tongued school- master, Republican Max Rafferty, and Democrat Alan Cranston, one of the state's champion vote-get- ters, are locked in a bruising U.S. Senate campaign of sharply con- trasting styles and beliefs. The two men. hold opposite viewpoints on almost all public issues. 1 Cranston regards Rafferty as a right wing extremist. Rafferty looks on Cranston as a left wing extremist. . Charges of lies, smears and near treason have been traded. Each professes amazement at the idea that his foe would ever sit in the O halls of Congress. Rafferty, 51-year-old state Su- perintendent of public instruction, upset incumbent Thomas H. Kuchel-assistant Republican lead-1 er in the Senate-by 69,000 votes of more than two million in the, June primary. Cranston scored an easy primary victory, unlike 1964 'when he was1 beaten out by the last minute challenge of Pierre Salinger, form- er White House press secretary. Cranston had rolled up huge mar- gins in being elected state con- troller in 1958 and 1962, but was ousted in the Ronald Reagan-led Republican statewide sweep in 1966. The state's two major nonpar- tisan polls show Cranston from 12 to 19 percentage points in front. The rest are undecided, with from one to two per cent going to the third man on the bal- lot, Paul Jacobs, a labor writer running on the Peace and Free- dom Party ticket. Top Republicans, including Gov. Ronald Reagan, are concerned about Rafferty's showing in the polls and his organization,'which has lost his primary campaign or-_ ganizer and his first general elec- tion manager. Reagan is cam- paigning around the state for Raf- ferty, and GOP Presidential can- didate Richard M. Nixon also ap- peared with him. Now, Reagan's top political ad- viser and top aide, Lyn Nofziger, has left state service to join Raf- ferty's staff in the closing days. Cranston gleefully lists day after day the number of longtime Re- publican Party activists who have endorsed him and called Rafferty irresponsible and the artist of a smear campaign again Kuchel. Kuchel has made no public reply to Rafferty's open appeal for an endorsement. Debate before California's near- ly eight million voters echoes the presidential campaign rhetoric in keying on two basic issues-peace in Vietnam and on A m e r i c a n streets. Cranston's position on Vietnam: "I urgehan immediate, uncondi- tional halt to the bombing of North Vietnam. We should find out if, when we stop the bombing, they will talk peace. If they will not talk peace no matter what we do ., .. then we must seek to de- Americanize the war. "We should tell the government of South Vietnam 'You can't de- pend on us forever.' I do not favor picking up and walking out and abandoning South Vietnam." Rafferty's Vietnam position: "We are all desirous of an honor- able settlement of the war at the earliest possible date - but this settlement must be honorable and not an unconditional halt in the bombing which could cause the loss of thousands of American lives." He says Cranston's call for a bombing halt approaches "a policy not only of national suicide but of national treason." Both men favor "law and or- der," although Cranston calls it "law and justice." Rafferty talks about "some surly slob who blasts his neighbor wide open with a shotgun" and urges quick, stiff punishment: "Retribution is what I'm talking about, friends, and ever since we crawled out of caves, retribution has followed wrong- doing as the night does the day." Cranston emphasizes better pay, equipment and training for police- men, federally financed but locally controlled. Rafferty carries the usual mid- dle-age paunch on his six foot frame, topped by a receding hair- line. Cranston, at 54, is trim around the middle, stands six- feet-one and is nearly bald. Rafferty has won solidly in two races for the nonpartisan school chief job, and has developed a nationwide reputation as a Fourth-of-July style orator and writer. He reports earning $16,500 from speaking and writing fees in 1967. In contrast to Cranston's level- voiced, unemotional speeches, Raf- ferty is a phrasemaker who seeks - and draws - larger crowds than his opponent. A typical excerpt from his talks: "A generation ago, would our peo- ple have tolerated for one single day a teacher who taught the youngsters entrusted to his care the best way to lie out of the draft, the delights of LSD and the necessity for premarital sex?"

There was speculation that Hanoi might reply at the next scheduled meeting of the Paris talks Wednesday, through other diplomatic channels, or even through a public broad- cast. Continuing consultations between U.S. and Saigon has lead some to believe the delay in reaching agreement has been caused by a rift between the two allies, but state department officials denied this. However, in an apparent attempt to dampen speculation on a bombing halt, South Vietnamese President Ngyuen Van Thieu yesterday emphasized there had been no change in his government's position. Visiting the scene of a recent battle, Thieu said a Viet Cong rocket attack there was "a perfect ex- ample that Hanoi has not de-escalated." Both the United States and South Vietnam have asked Hanoi for some indication of de-escalation before a bombing halt would be put into effect. EGYPT WILL RESPOND to Israel's nine-point peace program within two or three days. The Cairo government made the announcement at a pri- vate meeting of Arab countries yesterday. There were mixed indications as to the content of the response. The Israeli plan calls for a peace settlement in treaty f o r m, "recognized boundaries," "security agreements," "an open frontier," and freedom of navigation in internation- al waters. JACQUELINE KENNEDY and Greek shipping mag- nate Aristotle Onassis will be married today in a Greek Orthodox ceremony. The wedding could jeopardize Mrs..Kennedy's standing in the Roman Catholic church because Onassis is divorced. Observers speculated the marriage would give a sizeable boost to the 18-mont-old Greek military government. The regime yesterday released 76 political prisoners in an apparent show of good will on the eve of the wedding. U.S.-Greek relations are also expected to improve. This would be especially true if the Republican presidential ticket - including Greek-American Spiro T. Agnew - wins next month's election. HURRICANE GLADYS left a multi-million dollar trail of destruction yesterday as the storm swept across Florida toward the Carolinas. Emergency hurricane warnings were issued a on g the coast from Charleston,'S.C., to Cape Hatteras, N.C. The hur- ricane winds - over 100 miles per hour - have left three dead. CURTIS LeMAY, George Wallace's running mate, yes- terday said U.S. military men in South Vietnam feel re- strictions placed on them "really handicap them in get- ting the war over." The retired air force chief of staff, on tour of Vietnam this week, said he could see no value in a bombing halt of the north because past suspensions "have produced no tangible results toward a settlement or negotiated peace." Wallace will confer with LeMay when he returns to the United States today. NEW YORK CITY'S POLICEMEN began a work slow- down yesterday. A sizeable portion of the force reported sick with "Hong Kong flu." The slowdown, which is aimed at stripping the force of 20 per cent of its manpower, was called by the Pa- trolmen's Benevolent Association to emphasize contract de- mands. JOHN LENNON was charged in court yesterday for possession of marijuana. The 28-year-old Beatle and his Japanese'girl friend Yoko Ono were arrested Friday at Lennon's London apartment. THE SUPREME COURT ruled yesterday that rival slates of Democratic presidential electors must appear on the November ballot in Alabama. The effect of the ruling will be to split the state's Demo- cratic vote. The court decision will put both the regular elec- tors and members of the racially-integrated National Demo- cratic Party of Alabama on the ballot. Both slates are pledged to Vice President Hubert Humph- rey.
