PARADE BISHOPS SNUB No conditions were placed on other parade permits issued Tuesday to the Valley Vista Junior Women's Club, Woodland Hills Chamber of Commerce, El Sereno Chamber of Commerce, Palisades American ism Parade Granada Hills Junior Woman's Club and the city Recreation and Parks Department. A $1 million policy insuring the city against liability for property damage or personal injury would cost the homosexuals from $1,700 to $4,500, an insurance agent estimated Friday. "The price is jacked up by the group's notoriety and by the unknown reac-tion from Hollywood's version of the hard hats," he said. Continued from First Page chaic, puritanical laws, which have nothing to do with 1970." It was the second time the commission had used recently granted- powers to require applicants for parades or shows to buy insurance policies and pay for city services when trouble was anticipated: The powers were granted over ACLU objections by the City Council in the wake of the disturbance-plagued rock music festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge last June. The sponsor of.rock concerts at the Olympic Auditorium in May was required to pay the city $3-500 a performance for security guards.

At one concert, singer Little Richard and others were injured when the stage collapsed under the weight of fans who crowded onto it. No insurance policy was required for the show's sponsor because the event was held in a private are na. Meaffwhile, in San Francisco the San Francisco Archdiocese- Senate of Priests voted almost unanimously to give active support to Chavez and his campaign to unionize farm workers. The Catholic top heir-archy is trying to maintain its role as a mediator, saying that while it approves of the right of workers to.be a union, it will not try to pressure growers by giving support-to the boycott of California table grapes. The grape boycott has been the major part of the union's organizing efforts since 1965.

The San Francisco senate, which represents 800 Catholic priests in the archdiocese, said, however, that "the time has come for the church to back up with effective action the official statements of church support for the rights of farm workers." Continued from First Page leave. The church leaders said they will stay in Imperial Valley a few more days in hopes that they can be of seme assistance in settling the dispute, but Msgr. Higgins said, "I am afraid that it will be a of the bitter struggle rather than a peaceful settlement at this time." The committee visited the Ben Abatti the val-; ley's largest melon grower, which recently agreed to recognize the union. But Mrs. Agnes Abatti, Abatti's sister, told the bishops to leave company, property when they asked to speak to Abatti who was away at the time.

One committee official said Mrs. Abatti said the churchmen "should be teaching religion and should stay out of farm labor problems." IE. S. KUora OwbuJ Crop Dun I 2410 N. Olmdl.

Ed Arnold, deputy county clerk in charge of elections, said his staff had hoped to present the official vote canvass figures by Friday but ran into a new snag.

"We got down to the last of the 1,022 precincts," Arnold said, "and we ran it through the computer but -we came up with another problem. We think it is a simple programming error on that one last precinct and that threw us a bit because we felt we had completely debugged the system." Solution Sought Arnold said programming analysts hope to correct the problem over the weekend. "We have been hoping since Wednesday to have the official vote results but little snags keep cropping up to slow us down," he admitted. Although the semiofficial count ended with 976 of the 1,022 precincts officially counted, Arnold said the final results have not resulted in any changes in the results of any races or ballot propositions. Election officials said they would like to have the official results ready by Monday afternoon when they are due to appear before the Assembly George S.
