Firemen say the current plan is the result of "friendly" however, that negotiations are under way between the com-p a and the Lancashire volunteers. IN early 1970, dissident firemen from Station 31 began mediation with the company after six substation members were suspended. At that time the dissidents requested that Station 31 to the new "Lancashire" group. Estimates of sale price range from $100,000 up. Neither Thomas F.

Although few officials would comment on the proposed or-' ganization which will probably be called the Lan- cas'hire Volunteer Fire Company reliable sources said it will be formed from the small substation of the existing Claymont Volunteer Fire Company, near Lancashire.

THE Claymont company, one of 21 fire companies in New Castle County, operates from two facilities Station 13 on Philadelphia Pike in Claymont and Station 31 at Naamans and Marsh Roads. At present, both facilities are part of one corporation.

They also had words of praise for the Southern Airways crew which landed the crippled DC9 on a foam-covered Havana runway. ANOTHER Southern DC9 returned the 27 passengers and four crewmen to Miami and finally to their original destinations yesterday after an attempt by FBI sharpshooters to halt the hijacking failed Saturday night and forced the emergency landing in Cuba. All three hijackers were taken into custody by Cuban officials at Havana. Passengers said Cuban authorities also confiscated ransom money demanded and collected by the hijackers from Southern. "Everyone thought they would be dead in an hour," said passenger Gale Buchanan at a Miami hospital, recalling how FBI agents shot out four of the plane's tires as it prepared for takeoff after a refueling stop at Orlando, Fla.

BUCHANAN, 35, of Auburn, who suffered a sprained knee, was one of four persons injured during the hijacking. Copilot Billy Johnson, 37, mayor of College City, was shot in the shoulder by one of the hijackers.

Overhaul High Court Denies Bid By Ellsberg WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Supreme Court today opened the way for an early resumption of the trial of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony J. Russo under indictment in Los Angeles for theft of the Pentagon Papers.

The court in a brief order rejected their bid for an open hearing on whether their right to a fair trial has been impaired by government eavesdropping. Justice William O. Douglas dissented. The Justice Department has acknowledged that a conversation of one of the defendants' lawyers was overheard through an unauthorized wiretap. But U.S.

The sources said the 75-year-old pontiff is likely to continue allowing only cardinals to vote for popes with the possible exception of a special 15-man commission of Rome-based bishops. FOR more than a year, the sources said, Paul has been studying a possible reform of the ancient conclave system the Catholic Church uses to select is pontiffs. They said earlier that a document on the subject was likely early next year. But now, the sources said, the Pope has not prepared a document on the reform nor has he decided what to do because major theological objections make reform more difficult than first thought. Two years ago, the Pope barred cardinals See POPE Page 2, Col.

2 Extra police were called to the News-Journal building this morning to protect a printing ink delivery truck as a strike by newspaper delivery drivers moved into its 12th The seven extra police were just a precaution, according to Chief of Police John Mc-Cool. Police feared possible trouble as the non-union ink truck driver crossed the picket lines of Local 10 of The Newspaper Guild. There was no trouble. MEANWHILE, the News-Journal Co. and the Guild were to appear in Chancery Court this morning on Guild charges that the papers have illegally hired substitute drivers through a third party.

The Guild offered to postpone today's court appearance if the company would agree to negotiations. A company spokesman said that offer was not made to any member of the negotiating team or to any officer of the News-Journal Co. The spokesman said the offer was made via a reporter. "The newspaper management feels it is essential to deal directly with the Guild rather than negotiating through the news columns," the spokesman said. HOWEVER, even had the offer been made directly to the company, the spokesman said the company would not See EXTRA Page 2, Col.

4 Army Acts As Unrest Grips Beirut United Press International The sources said the treaty is expected to prohibit the dumping anywhere at sea of heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium, both highly toxic. The treaty would require subscribing nations to refuse navigation permits to ships carrying noxious, wastes through their territorial waters if there were grounds for suspecting they planned to dump the materials, the sources said. THEY said the United States delegation insisted on a provision which would exempt military vessels from the regulations, thus making it possible for navies to dump materials such as nerve gas into the sea. One group, led by Canada and India, advocated a 200-mile limit. The United States, Britain and most other countries said limits should remain at 12 miles.

The dispute stemmed from recent moves by Iceland, Peru, Brazil and several other nations extending their territorial limits beyond the 12-mile mark recognized by most other countries. THE sources said a compromise apparently has been reached over the issue. They did not elaborate. The sources said Brazil is unlikely to sign the The name of the Executive Club first emerged in October in reports by national and state Finance Committees to Re-elect the President. In all, the club reported contributing $3,000 to each of 33 Nixon committees and $1,000 a 34th.

NEWSMEN seeking identifi-cation of the individual contributors could find no re-c of the club having registered with the GAO nor of its having filed any reports of expenditures or contributions. The new law requires that any committee which anticipates collecting or spending more than $1,000 for a national candidate in any calendar year must register with the8 GAO. It also must file periodic reports of all contributions and expenditures of more than $100 and must show how much cash was on hand at the time of each filing. After news stories appeared about the committee, its chairman, William B. Colsey III, a Mount Holly, N.J., attorney, filed a registration statement and reports for Sept.

WASHINGTON A Republican, committee that channeled $100,000 into PresL-d Nixon'S re-election campaign says it does hot have to make known the sources of its funds despite a new federal law requiring disclosure of all contributors of more than $100.

Auditors for the General Accounting Office say the position of the Executive Club of the Republican Party of New Jersey, if upheld in the courts, could open a major loophole in the elections law which took effect last April 7. THE club contends its money came from dues and that dues are not contributions. GAO auditors say there could be a proliferation of such clubs to evade the full disclosure provisions of the new law. The auditors say they will press the club for disclosure, possibly launching a field audit in the next few weeks and then turning their findings over to the Justice Department if the club remains adamant. Under the new law, the GAO, an arm of Congress, must investigate campaign finance irregularities.

But only the Justice Department can prosecute. IN TODAY'S JOURNAL -gtf ni liillllMlrWy.

WEATHER The army took over security in Lebanon today to deal with any outbreaks of violence or unrest in the wake of a weekend clash in Beirut which left two persons dead and at least 14 injured. But leftwing labor unions and political organizations in the Jordanian capital of Amman announced they would demonstrate against what they branded a "police massacre" despite a government order forbidding such action.

Both rightwing and leftwing political leaders called for the resignation of Premier Saeb Salam. The leader of the opposition Progressive Socialist Party said his resignation should be "the price paid for the killings." The army's security takeover did not mean martial law, judicial sources said. The decision to turn responsibility over to the army for preserving domestic security was taken last night at a three-hour emergency cabi-nert session presided over by President Suleiman Franjieh. It followed the bloody clash Saturday between some 300 striking workers at a chocolate and "cookie factory in a Beirut suburb and scores of armed policemen. The leftist press and labor unions reacted furiously to the incident, charging police with brutality.

The government rejected the charge, claiming policemen had to fire in self-defense. An Interior Ministry statement said "outsiders" had infiltrated the workers' ranks.

The samples were purchased at different stores over several days. The milk was then accurately was consistently up to the full mark. A family that consumes 3 gallons of milk a week could lose up to a full glass of milk each week or a quart every three weeks, according to the survey results. How long this has been going on and how much milk customers have been shorted is not possible to determine because of lax state inspection.
