An an aide said Reagan will probably use most of that time. High on the list of expected vetoes is a $26 million rider added by the Senate to abolish tuition at the University of California. Reagan refused comment Thursday on which items he might veto, but he said pointedly of the tuition item: In principle Im opposed to the The budget bill also contains two minor cuts totaling less than $100,000 which were more symbolic than substantive.

(AP) Increasing beef prices are a signal from the American consumer to the livestock industry to increase beef production, says Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz. The increasing affluence of the average citizen has coupled with a tremendous surge in the use of foodstamps and higher welfare benefits to allow more persons to buy beef than ever before.

The increased demand was forced prices upward, Butz told the fourth California Livestock Symposium Thursday. Currently, the average American eats 116 pounds of beef per year, said Butz. But that figure will increase to 130 pounds in the next eight years. The increase, along with a projected climb in the nation's population, will require 25 per cent increase in beef production. Increasing the supply of beef will be no easy matter, said Butz.

For one thing, much of the nations cattle raising areas already face crowded range conditions. Another factor, he said, is that cattlemen already have switched many herds from dairy to beef production. Allies Run Up Big Tank Score SAIGON (AP) U.S. warplanes hammered North Vietnam with a record 350 strikes Thursday, including attacks on three MIG air bases, a naval base and an army barracks, but stayed 60 miles away from Hanoi because Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny is there. Almost all of the raids were in the southern part of North Vietnam, and none was very close to Hanoi, a U.S.

spokesman said. The combination of good weather and lucrative targets was the reason for the high number of strikes. U.S. informants termed the suspension of bombing in the Hanoi-Haiphong area a show of good will toward the Soviet Union and a precautionary measure to avoid any incidents during Podgornys meetings with North Vietnamese leaders. In the air strikes on the MIG bases, Air Force F4 Phantom pilots reported cutting runways and taxiways at the Bai Thung, Khe Phat and Quan Lang bases.

Navy pilots flying off the carrier Midway attacked the Hai Yen naval base six miles northeast of Vinh and reported damaging one pier and destroying two supply boats. The Badong army barracks, 20 miles northwest of Dong Hoi, also was reported damaged. B52 bombers hit the Dong Hoi area, 45 miles north of the demilitarized zone, for the ninth successive day, keeping up a campaign to destroy war materials and installations that could support an attack on Hue, 90 miles to the southeast. From north of Saigon, Associated Press correspondent Peter Arnett reported from Highway 13 that the attempt to clear the road to An Ixc and lift the 71-day-old siege of the city was delayed Thursday by a 100-man North Vietnamese attack on a government force clearing the road. The attack was made about four miles south of An Loc, and American advisers said they didnt think there were that many North Vietnamese left in the area.

South Vietnamese casualties were reported light, but two armored personnel carriers were destroyed before the North Vietnamese pulled back after two hours of fighting, Arnett said. Their losses were not known. On the northern front, 57 North Vietnamese were reported killed in a series of clashes on the western flanks of Hue. Another 46 died in a dawn-to-dusk battle in Binh Dinh Province, on the central coast, near the district town of An Nhon, the South Vietnamese command said. South Vietnamese losses in the two fights were 21 killed and eight wounded, the command said.

SACRAMENTO (AP) A $7.96 billion state budget biggest in California history sits on Gov. Reagans desk today while the Republican governor sharpens his veto pencil for an expected major trimming. If signed by Reagan as the legislature approved it Thursday, the budget would catapult Caliifornia back into first place, nearly $80 million ahead of New York, as the nations big-gest-spending state. But Reagan and Republican leaders of the Senate and Assembly made it clear Thursday that there would be some major cuts probably in excess of $100 million before Reagan signs. Last year Reagan vetoed $504 million from the $7.4 billion budget sent to him by the Democrat-controlled legislature.

In five years as governor he has applied the cut, squeeze and trim motto of his administration to nearly $1 billion worth of line-item vetoes. The 1972-73 spending bill is $1.1 billion bigger than the one for the fiscal year ending this month, and $343 million more than Reagan requested in his budget proposal back on Jan. 12. It contains a surplus estimated at $160 million, barely a third of the $458 million surplus anticipated in Reagans draft. The biggest items in the bill are $2.7 billion for welfare, $1.9 billion for public schools and $1.7 billion for the state Medical health care program.

-It also includes pay raises of 7.5 per cent to 12.5 per cent for state employes, a third more in pay raises than Reagan proposed. -The biggest battle in the budget was over the state support program for local schools. Reagan originally offered schools a $65 million increase, but a bipartisan alliance of legislators put a $263 million increase in the budget and tried unsuccessfully to get Reagan to promise not to cut it. In three weeks of negotiations, Reagan raised his own school support proposal to include a $188 million increase, but he said he is not yet convinced the extra $75 million is really needed. -The budget won final legislative approval on a 31-2 Senate vote just seven hours before the midnight Thursday deadline in the state Constitution for the legislature to adopt a budget.

An hour earlier, the Assembly approved the budget on a 695 vote. Republicans in both houses said they thought the budget was too big, and used too much of the states anticipated surplus. But they said they would rely on Reagans veto power to trim it instead of waging a losing floor battle against the Democratic majorities of each house. lists better than 530 enemy tanks destroyed in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Of these, the South Vietnamese army and air force are credited with more than 300 tanks, the U.S.

bombing of North Vietnams rail lines and U.S. mine fields in the entrances of its ports are blocking replacement of armored vehicles from the Soviet Union and Communist China, officials say. The air-interdiction campaign is destroying stockpiles of gasoline and oil needed to run the tanks, which burn about a gallon a mile. Petroleum supplies By FRED S. HOFFMAN AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Allied forces have reported destroying between 400 and 506-plus North Vietnamese tanks since the enemy offensive began, Pentagon sources say.

The tally coincides with a sharp dropoff in reported sightings of North Vietnamese tanks operating in the battle sectors and staging areas. Taken together, these factors could indicate that the North Vietnamese have lost much of the armored power that helped them score important advances in the early stages of the offen Hormone Ban Will are not being replaced from outside North Vietnam, according to current assessments. There are variations in official estimates of the tanks destroyed. Defense sources acknowledge the likelihood of some duplication in reports and of some overly bullish claims. Nevertheless, officials say they are confident the toll of North Vietnamese armor has been very heavy.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff accept as accurate the U.S. Vietnam commands count of more than 420 North Vietnamese tanks destroyed between March 30 and June 9, the last date covered by the most recent summary. Another compilation cited in an official military rundown Up Beef Prices Reports from the field say that 500-pound bombs have been highly effective in knocking out tanks. Other weapons that have scored well are light antitank rockets used by South Vietnamese infantrymen, according to U.S. military Planes Grounded Continued from Pag 1 A) Today's Stocks WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration said today it will propose a ban on the widely used livestock growth hormone DES, which causes cancer, as a means of opening the question to a public hearing.

DES is fed to an estimated 90 per cent of the nations beef cattle to speed growth in weight-gaining. Economists have estimated that the ban on the additive would raise consumer; beef prices about $3.85 per person annually. The announcement was coupled with an Agriculture Department disclosure that it has found 15 more cases of illegal diethylstilbestrol in cattle, raising the rate to nearly four times that of last year despite tighter restrictions. It is apparent that additional action must be taken, FDA Commissioner Charles C. Edwards said.

It is equally apparent that any action with such major consumer impact must be taken only after the most careful consideration of all scientific information and regulatory alternatives. "DES clearly is a useful and effective product. Furthermore, we are convinced that it is safe when used as directed. In spite of these advantages, studies have shown DES to be a carcinogen cancer-causing agent and the law does not allow residues of a carcinogen in meat. In addition to studies showing that laboratory animals fed the drug developed cancer, medical researchers have reported finding vaginal cancer among a small number of young women whose mothers took the compound to avoid spontaneous miscarriages during pregnancy.

Pacific Coast stocks New York Stocks By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Stock prices were down in moderately active trading at midmorning today on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange. Gains totaled 81, with 126 losses and 67 issues unchanged.

The 2 p.m. Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was off 1.36 to 944.61.

On the New York Stock Exchange, declines took about a 7-to-5 advantage over advances. Continuing the trend of Thursday afternoon, glamour issues were depressed. Among the others on the downside were motor issues and most of the steel, other metals, and electronics issues. make especially clear that the action was not directed against U.S. airlines, but against the inability of all nations to agree on the proper course of action to stop air piracy.

He said some airlines already have indicated some measure of support. We call on the rest to join hands with us in this endeavor, ODonnell said. We also call on our brother unions across the country and around the world to stand with us on June 19. ODonnell said it was truly unfortunate that the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of airline passengers must be interrupted. But it is inevitable that unless hijack sanctuaries are eliminated, many thousands of future passengers will continue to face the horrors of air crimes, he said.

We must either stand up to this threat now, or be prepared to continue to be used as human pawns in whatever machinations future air criminals may have in store for us. The latter alternative is unthinkable. ODonnell said ALPA is particularly gratified by the overwhelming support it is receiving from the public. To those we are inconveniencing, we sincerely apolo gize, he said. But, we have no alternative.

Meanwhile, the governing body of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations planned to consider what to do about the possibility of a strike Monday in view of prospects the U.N. Security Council would meet on the problems of hijacking. The five-member governing body, which had set today as the deadline for effective U.N. action against hijacking, scheduled a meeting after conferring with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim.

Col. Ola Forsberg of Finland, president of the federation, told reporters after the conference with Waldheim Thursday night we got the impression that the chances are very good for a council meeting. Forsberg would not elaborate on what Waldheim said. Diplomatic sources said the Security Council might meet Tuesday, delaying the meeting until after the strike date so that it would not seem to be acting under pressure. The Airline Pilots Association, which takes in about of the 50,000 pilots in the world federation, is bound by the federations decision, but the smaller Allied Pilots Association, including about 3,500 American pilots, is not.

Butter -Eggs SACRAMENTO (AP)-A compromise environmental protection bill representing a meeting of the minds between the Reagan administration and a conservation-minded legislator-won passage in its first committee test today. Authored by Democratic Assemblyman Edwin Zberg of Sacramento, the bill would set up a statewide environmental protection board and nine regional boards with comprehensive control over statewide pollution regulations. The bill cleared the Assembly Natural Resources Committee on a 10-0 vote over the repeated objections of industry and agriculture representatives who complained they hadnt had a chance to read the bill. Final compromise on the measure was reached between Zberg and Reagan officials minutes before the Sacramento legislator, considered a key defender of environmental bills, held a news conference on the bill Thursday.

Serving Family Style Italian Dinners WHEN YOU NEED YUBA CITY (AP) Two men were arrested early today and accused of armed robbery after a highway chase in which a tavern owner and an angry patron fired shots at the fleeing holdup men.

Booked for investigation of armed robbery were Thomas A. Bybee, 30, and William Britt, 28, both of Yuba City. Sutter County sheriffs officers said they received a call just before midnight Thursday that the Alpine Village tavern near Nicolaus had been held up by two armed men and that the proprietor, Dede Muller, and a patron were giving chase. Muller later told deputies that he and Willard Ernst Remember Our Famous chased the fleeing holdup car south on Route 99 and north on Route 70, firing shots at the car as-they went. The holdup men had Ernsts wallet and $50 as well as $162 taken from the tavern till.

Sheriffs deputies found the car abandoned in Rio Oso with the motor running and money scattered all over the ground and the inside of the car, said Capt. John Purcell. Bybee was arrested shortly afterward in an adjacent orchard and Britt about two hours later, as he walked along the highway, Purcell said. The two men were armed with a pistol and a sawed-off shotgun when arrested, he added. MUFFLER CRAB CIOPPINO EVERY FRIDAY.
