RP e A -- The Michigan Oily -riday, M y l, 1984 Recent victories give Hart hope in Calif. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gary Hart's upset victories in Ohio and In- diana have rescued California's primary from relative obscurity and turned the June 5 contest into a crucial milestone in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hart, who brought new life to his campaign with the Midwestern vic- tories, needs another win in California and the lion's share of the 306 delegates at stake to brake Walter Mondale's drive for the nomination. He begins the final leg of his California campaign leading Mondale by 4 percentage points in one statewide poll and by 5 in another. MONDALE, already within 400 delegates of the nomination, would be virtually unbeatable with a clear-cut win in California. His campaign manager, James Johnson, predicted on Wednesday that the former vice president would go into the convention with enough delegates to win the nomination of the first ballot. Mondale plans to field what his state campaign spokesman Bill Fleming describes as "a small army of volun- teers" to counter Hart. Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose state chairwoman predicts victories in four black-dominated congressional distric- ts with 29 delegates, is scheduled to spend nine of the next 10 days here, concentrating principally on those four Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay area districts. THE POLLS gave Hart a 2-1 lead in the San Francisco Bay area. That is the most liberal region in the state, but also the area where organized labor, the backbone of Mondale's campaign, is strongest. The same polls showed Mondale even or leading slightly in the more populous Los Angeles area, where unions are weakest and the economy is dominated by high technology and entertainment industries filled with the kind of young urban professionals who voted for Hart in other states. Both campaigns see opportunities for major gains and are planning massive media and volunteer campaigns. Fleming said that California's elec- tion law, which restricts the Democratic primary to registered Democrats, will aid Mondale, and said the former vice president has a corps of 500 or more volunteers to organize precincts and get out the vote. Steve Sulkes, Hart's California cam- paign manager, claims 10 times that number of volunteers for Hart, coun- ting 6,800 people who have called the campaign headquarters since Hart's New Hampshire victory and volun- toord Rn heln H esaid he has vohn- Teaching requirements set LANSING - The Senate Education and Health Committee approved legislation yesterday overhauling the state's teacher cer- tification system to assure that students get qualified instructors. Under the measure, new teachers will receive a probationary cer- tification lasting two to five years, to - be followed by professional cer- tification. A professional cer- tification will have to be renewed every five years. Teachers will only be certified to teach subjects in which they have a college major or minor. Rubella hits record low ATLANTA - Fewer than 1,000 cases of rubella were reported last year in the United States - the lowest yearly total since federal health officials began monitoring the disease 18 years ago. At the current rate, the Center for Disease Control said rubella should vanish in 10-30 years. But the agency warned that congenital rubella syn- drome - a variety of defects in children of mothers with rubella - remains a serious health threat. San Fran. fire investigated SAN FRANCISCO - Arson invest- igators yesterday were looking for the cause of a spectacular water- front fire that destroyed two piers and lit up the sky over San Fran- cisco, leaving at least $2.5 million in damage. The fire broke out Wednesday night. Flames shot 100 feet into the air above the 800-foot-long piers, creating an orange glow that could be seen throughout the city. Florida executes first black man in 20 years STARKE, Fla. - Urging other death row inmates to "keep on fighting," James Adams died in the electric chair yesterday for mur- dering a rancher, becoming the first black executed in Florida in 20 years. Adams, 47, who had maintained his innocence and charged that race played a part in his convictions, was pronounced dead at 7:11 a.m. The U.S Supreme Court cleared the way for his execution Wednesday night by overruling a lower court that granted a stay so it could review whether Florida's death penalty laws are racially discriminatory. Senate defeats challenge of deficit-reduction plan WASHINGTON - Senate Republican leaders barely defeated a challenge yesterday from GOP moderates and Democrats seeking military spending reductions and domestic spending increases, clearing the way for passage of a $144 billion deficit-reduction plan that has President Reagan's blessing. John Chafee (R-R.I.), a proponent of the amendment, said it would reduce defense spending authority in the GOP plan by $37 billion over three years while increasing domestic spending by $20 billion, for a net budget savings of $17 billion beyond the original Republican plan. Nuclear testing was remiss SALT LAKE CITY - A federal judge ruled yesterday that the government was negligent in its 1950s open-air testing of nuclear weapons, and ordered it to pay $2.6 million in 10 cases where he blamed fallout for causing cancer. The decision may pave the way for hun- dreds of other people to claim damages. U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins blamed the government for failing to measure fallout adequately in com- munities in southwestern Utah, Nevada and northern Arizona downwind of the test site. Reagan saves deduction WASHINGTON - President Reagan, trimming back his promised overhaul of the income tax system, told worried real estate brokers yesterday, he has ruled out any move to abolish the popular tax deduction for mortgageinterest payments. The more than 4,000 delegates to a convention of the National Association of Realtors repeatedly interrupted the president's speech with applause, and jumped to their feet in a standing ovati5n when he pledged to "preserve that part of the American dream which the home mortgage interest deduction sym- bolizes." .4 Hart relies on volunteers teers with 600 telephones lined up for pre-election canvassing, and an elec- tion day get-out-the-vote effort. If past California elections are any guide, they favor Hart. The state has a long history of voting for the political newcomer over the established party politician, and the voting population is among the nation's best educated and most affluent. Statewide, 16 percent of the voting age population is Hispanic, a potential plus for Mondale, and 7 percent is black. Q(liurrb Atrnbip eruiren CAMPUS CHAPEL 1236 Washtenaw Ct.
