Alioto holds strong lead in S.F. mayoral race SAN FRANCISCO AP — Mayor Joseph L Alioto was re-elected Tuesday night to a second four-year term, scoring a sweeping victory over 10 challengers. The city’s voters also were defeating a conservationist inspired ballot measure that would have limited the height of future San Francisco buildings to six stories. With more than 10 percent of the city’s 1,358 precincts counted, it was Alioto 10,843, votes, former City Supervisor Harold Dobbs 7,818 and City Board of Super visors Predisent Dianne Fein stein 6,277. The bote on Proposition T was yes 9,896, no 15,662. The turnout was heavy, about 75 percent of San Francisco’s 340,414 registered voters, following a campaign in which Dobbs and Mrs. Feinstein ac cused Alioto of big city bossism, raising taxes and injecting politics into the police depart ment. New Selective Service classes said to expedite drafting WASHINGTON AF — A new draft classification was created Tuesday for registrants too young to be drafted the 18-year olds and older men with such high lottery numbers they’re unlikely to be called into military service. Selective Service laid down also new ground rules for per sonal appearances before draft boards for a young man to make ”a fair representation of his claim” for exemption or defer ment. At the same time there’s a built in brake designed to keep protestors from overloading the boards with appeals Deputy Director Daniel Cronin said the new “holding’’ claaaification, 1H, is designed to enable the service to “do business with the people likely to be drafted and let the other people go about their business.” The rule changes put the draft operation in line with the new draft law, including the phasing out of college, trade school and junior college deferments They become automatically effective in early December. 90 days after they are published in the Federal Register, as required by the new law A major change not required by law wipes out the catchall 1Y classification that lumped together men with borderline physical disqualifications, homosexuals, criminals and a variety of others. From now on a man in this area will be given 4F as physically unfit, 1A-RR1, moaning being adjudicated, or 1A-AO, meaning acceptance undetermined. Those men who turn 18 next year and must register for the draft then will be given the new 1H classification, except for those who enter military service, join reserve units, or are sole sur viving sons They will remain there until their lottery in 1973, when Selective Service will announce a cutoff lottery num ber. Those below that number will remain in 1H and those above will be classified 1A or any exempt or deferred classification for which they qualify For men turning 18 this year, a cutoff number will be announced alter the 1973 lottery and men below that number will be reclassified 1H, where they’ll remain until they reach age 38 barring an emergency Men exposed to the draft as 1A this year or earlier but were not drafted will be put into 1H after next Jan. 1. and stay there until their 26th birthday. Divinity students will be put into a new deferment class 2D and sole surcviving sons will be in a new class 4G. The new personal appearance rules will permit a man for the first time to bring witnessesor support his claim for deferment or exemption. Other changes in the rules include these: —A man will be required to register for the draft during a period beginning 30 days before his 18th birthday and ending 30 days after At present he must register within five working days after his birthday. —A man will be given at least 30 days notice to report for in duction. The old rule was 10 days but normally it was stretched up to 30 days. TOMORROW 1« Sundae Sale it DAIRY QUEEN Alioto ran on his record, saying San Francisco was the only major American city to ramain “cool” during the past four years of turbulence in urban areas. The experts had forecast a tight race-with the 38-year-old Mrs. Feinstein expected to give Alioto the major problem. Both are Democrats while Dobbs, who ran for mayor twice before and lost, is a Republican. The contest is nonpartisan. Dobbs, 52, a lawyer and restaurant owner, had used the campaign slogan: “Have a Nice City.” Alioto is the dynamic millionaire antitrust lawyer whose campaign on his record was shadowed by his legal problems in Washington State. The balding mayor faces a criminal charge of conspiracy in dividing a $2.3-million legal fee with the former attorney general of Washington before Alioto became mayor. Alioto looked to the voters for vidication at the polls, con tending: “They his political enemies figured they couldn’t win a clean fight down here. I think people are convinced the indictment is a political knifing.” Mrs. Feinstein, a Stanford graduate and wife of a neurosurgeon, didn't consider it an issue, when asked about it. Dobbs makes it a campaign issue but not a major one while Alioto said “our personal lives, our personal integrity” should be a factor in the polling booth. Alioto argued that only he had “the toughness of spirit, the toughness of mind” to manage a major American city; that he had kept peace in San Francisco despite “all those volcanic ten sions.” Mrs. Feinstein, fair skinned and soft spoken, accused Alioto of letting San Francisco become a cold, crime-ridden city with “machine politics” taking over in City Hall. She promised to inject “new politics” into her administration if elected to make the city government more sensitive to the people’s problems. Although all major candidates oppposed Proposition T which would ban construction of any more tall building along the city’s famed old Barbary Coast, Mrs. Feinstein declared her opposition to any more sky-scrapers. Dobbs, a Republican who ran for mayor twice before and lost, said both Alioto and Mrs. Fein stein-both Democrats-shared blame for the city’s problems. “Leadership is the issue,” he said, promising to bring a businessman’s expertise to city’s finances. His rainbow-bedecked billboards carried this message—: “Have a Nice City!’ Alioto’s election in 1967 projected him prominently into statewide Democratic party politics and he put then-Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey’s name in nomination for presdient in 1968. Alioto planned to run for governor in 1970 but decided not to after Look magazine published an article saying Alioto was en meshed with the Mafia-a charge he denied. He said he wanted to devote his time to pressing his $12.5 million libel suit against the now-defunct magazine.
