Woman wins mayor s race
in San Francisco elections
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor
Diane Feinstein took over San
Francisco’s top job Wednesday,
saying she would serve “all of the
people” in rebuilding the city’s
government shaken by last year’s
slaying of her predecessor,
George Moscone.
Feinstein won a special runoff
election for mayor Tuesday night
by a 53-47 percent margin, de
feating challenger Quentin
Kopp, a supervisor, by a vote of
102,233 to 87,226.
In an election that failed to
spark interest, voters turned two
major incumbents out of office —
Sheriff Eugene Brown and Dis
trict Attorney Joseph Freitas Jr.
Each lost by a 3-1 margin.
Only 51 percent of the reg
istered voters cast ballots., the
lowest turnout since 1906, the
registrar of voters said.
“I’m going to be a mayor for all
the people of San Francisco,” said
an exuberant Feinstein, the for
mer Board of Supervisors’ presi
dent who took over as mayor
when Moscone and supervisor
Harvey Milk were killed on Nov.
27, 1978.
Freitas lost the DA’s seat to
Assistant Attorney General Arlo
Smith, who won the city’s large
homosexual vote by accusing
Freitas of mishandling the case of
Dan White, the man found guilty
of second degree murder in the
City Hall slayings of Moscone and
Milk.
Attorney Michael Hennessey
easily unseated Sheriff Brown,
whose administration of the coun
ty jail has been troubled by
escapes, walk-aways, and prison
er protests over poor conditions.

Hundreds of thousands of Christmas cards and
telegrams, carrying with them messages of affection
and faith, are streaming toward the 50 American
hostages held in Iran.
Christmas mail campaigns were started by news
papers, radio stations, families of hostages and pri
vate citizens to express sympathy and support for
their countrymen.
The post office at O’Hare International Airport in
Chicago, which processes overseas mail from 13
Midwestern states, has been deluged with Christmas
f'r ds addressed to the hostages.
“Our normal volume of mail to Iran is 35 to 40
pounds a day,’’ said airmail operations manager Tho
mas Messick, “but we’ve had 5,000 pounds of mail to
the hostages just since Saturday.”
The Citizen-Journal in Columbus, Ohio, ran a
front-page editorial urging citizens to send Christ
mas greetings to the hostages.
In response, Donna Griffith of Columbus said all
four members of her family wrote personal messages
to the hostages.
“We said essentially that we were thinking about
them and praying for them and wanting to keep their
spirits up,” said Griffith.
"St Commandments 7
plan does
The New York Post Tuesday splashed in red head
lines across its front page; “Send this Christmas Card
to the Hostages.” Beneath was a Christmas card
containing the message, “Have Faith, We’re All with
You.”
Readers were urged to cut out the card, add their
own messages and send them to the Post, which
promised to forward them by air to Iran.
In Sun City, Ariz., George and Vashta Thompson
already have sent two Christmas cards to the hos
tages and urged others to do the same.
“I think it would be a good idea to flood the embas
sy in Tehran with Christmas cards,” said Thompson.
“It might have some impact in the present troubled
situation. There is an adage that the pen is mightier
than the sword. Let Americans prove it. ”
A campaign to send postcards to the Iranian
Embassy in Washington was started last Friday by
the families of the Tehran hostages.
Dorothea Morefield of San Diego, the wife of hos
tage Richard Morefield, U.S. consul in Tehran,
urged Americans to send postcard appeals to the
Iranian Embassy or to the hostages themselves.
“They should say to the Iranian people, ‘Send the
hostages home now, or at least for Christmas,’” she
said.

NEW YORK — Larry Goldberg
ran a couple of chic Manhattan piz-
zarias until he sold them a few years
ago because, Goldberg recalls, he
“kneaded the dough.”
Groan.
These days, Goldberg, a nice Jew
ish boy from Kansas City, is knead
ing his dough into fortune cookies.
Well, not just fortune cookies — fun
ny fortune cookies.
“May your Hershey bar suffer a
meltdown,” says one in a reference
to the Three Mile Island nuclear
plant and the nearby Hershey choco
late plant.
“A stitch in time saves a malprac
tice suit,” reads another.
A third: “Man who carries pota
toes on back will have chips on
shoulder.”
Goldberg, 170 pounds trimmer
than the 320 pounds he once
weighed, has no chip on his shoul
der. Just an overactive imagination.
There was, for example, the
Chinese pizza — “Chop Gooey,” the
pizza in the shape of an ice cream
cone, and a “chewy diet book” made
of 100 percent bubble gum.
The “Goldberg’s Pizzeria” sign
that once adorned the window of his
pizza parlors was considered imagi
native enough to hang in the Smith
sonian Institution in Washington.
Last fall, Goldberg took out a clas
sified ad, asking for funny fortunes.
From the 1,000 replies, he chose 412
fortunes, paying the authors $2
apiece.
Goldberg developed the cookie
recipe himself and Bloomingdale’s,
that arbiter of all things chic and
trendy, bought $15,000 worth of the
cookies.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A law
ichool professor and former state
8 Supreme Court justice said Tuesday
a 1927 state law requiring the 10
Commandments to be posted in
schoolrooms is unconstitutional.
Grand Forks parents and the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union filed the
suit.
Robert Vogel claims the statute
violates the First Amendment
guarantee of freedom of religion.
Murray Sagsveen, assistant attor
ney general, argued the command
ments are a historical symbol only.
