RISER ALSO argued that the board members wanted to deviate from a longstanding procedure of selecting board replacements by a vote of the membership. He said if they were going to deviate from that procedure, then they should appoint a minority. Contacted Tuesday, Klser said he did not have time to talk about the hearings, but he said it could lead to the union's being placed In trusteeship. Mark Oreenberger, lawyer for the union, said the local had not expected the hearings.

"As far as I know, the International president has designated several persons to Investigate a number of problems here. I assume they will take back the information they get and make some kind of determination as to the future of this local," Oreenberger said. Duke Zeller, communications director, for the International, said today's hearings are a preliminary step. "IT IS hard to say if the hearings will lead to anything. It is Just a start," Zeller said by telephone from his Washington office.

Oreenberger said usually a local Is taken over by its international affiliate when It cannot pay bills. "Sometimes a local can have a number of judgments against It and Just simply cannot pay the bills," Oreenberger said. He said he did not want to comment on the situation involving Local 100 now. Local 100 has suffered a drastic decrease in membership In the past three years falling from about 12,000 to 5,000 In three years. Klser attributes the drop In membership to deregulation of the trucking industry which caused massive layoffs of, Teamsters across the country.

BY ALLEN HOWARD Enquirer Reporter Representatives from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in Washington, D.C. will begin hearings today at the office of Teamsters' Union Local 100 In Evendale concerning a series of disputes which could lead to placing the local in trusteeship. A letter from Teamsters' international president Jackie Presser to Local 100 informed the local that Presser had designated representatives to look into a series of problems involving disputes over layoffs, finances, allegations of misuse of funds, and accusations of political maneuvering among union officials. Oalrald "Jerry" Klser, president of the local, said Tuesday the hearings could possibly lead to placing the local in trusteeship. IF PLACED in trusteeship, the local The council also recommended that four business agents, laid off by Klser in 1982, be reinstated.

Klser has appealed the council's decision to the Ohio Conference of Teamsters. He said he laid off the business agents after 90 of the members voted in favor of the layoffs because of financial problems and decreasing membership. Klser was also rebuffed by his executive board members two weeks ago when he tried to get board members to accept the first black member on the board. Klser recommended that Martha Starr, a black woman driver for the Ryder Trucking Co. for nine years, be placed on the board to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Fred Alcorn.

Klser has refused to administer the oath of office to Joseph Wllburn, who had been recommended by Odell a board member, to fill Alcorn's position. Klser accused Hinkle of trying to pad the would be under full supervision by the International. Local 100 was threatened with a takeover by the International in May of 1981 when there were several complaints concerning finances and a controversial election which lasted 36 hours. In that election, Klser won a third term as president of the local. After Informal hearings in 1981, the local was not placed In trusteeship.

But Klser has been under fire lately Involving layoffs of business agents, accusations of misuse of union funds and disputes with executive board members over appointments to that board. Klser was exonerated (his year by the Joint Teamsters Council of charges that he misused union funds. However, those charges are still being Investigated by the Cincinnati office of the FBI. THE FBI began its investigation last. June when it impounded the union's records.

7 ft Senators Seeking Tougher Sanctions Against Soviets fa IT i I ill wmi urn I A I I Marines Get Broader Use Of Firepower Offshore Guns, Planes May Help Allied Forces BY BERNARD GWERTZMAN 1983, N.Y. Time Newi Service WASHINGTON The Reagan administration announced Tuesday that the marines In Lebanon were now authorized to call on American naval and air power not only to defend themselves, but also to come to the aid of the other Western forces and of the Lebanese army, in certain circumstances. The move appeared to be a broadening of possible American military involvement beyond the role that was set for the 1,370 marines when they began their peacekeeping assignment In the Beirut area nearly a year ago. The marines were always authorized to fire in self-defense, but the new instructions for the first time specifically allow the offshore naval and air power to be used to help the other three Western members of the International force In Lebanon and to aid the Lebanese army If It Is being attacked In a way that endangers the marines. THIS WOULD mean, In practice, that If the Lebanese were in Annovr nt iniinv a BY ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINOTON-Senate conservatives broke with President Reagan on Tuesday and called for tougher sanctions against the Soviet Union if Moscow remains unrepentant for the destruction of Korean Air Lines Flight 7.

"The President is missing a golden opportunity if he doesn't nail the Soviet hide to the wall," said Sen. Jesse Helms, "He should tell the Soviets he is not going to stand for this. "I want him (Mr. Reagan) to go beyond the rhetoric and do something substantive," said Helms, leader of about 10 Republican conservatives urging approval of a congressional resolution tougher than one initially supported by the President Among Helms' recommendations are linking strategic arms control talks with the airliner incident, recalling the U.S. ambassador to Moscow for urgent consultations, and ordering the Soviet Union to call home some of its diplomats.

SENATE LEADERS of both parties had sought a quick, unani mous vote for a resolution condemning the Soviet Union for the Sept 1 attack in which 269 passengers, including 61 Americans, were killed. The resolution, backed by Majority Leader Howard Baker Jr. of Tennessee and Minority Leader Robert C. Byrd Jr. of West Virginia, is scheduled for debate and a vote today.

The measure urges Joint sanctions with other nations against the Soviet Union, but It stops short of recommending retaliatory action. Agreement had been reached with the White House and leaders of the Democratic House on the language of the resolution which said the "cold-blooded attack will rank among one of the most infamous and reprehensible acts of aviation history." Helms and Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho, and other conservatives decided those words weren't strong enough.

Soviet Bombers Probe Japanese Air Defenses Administration spokesmen, however, Including Oen. Paul X. Kelley, commandant of the marines, Insisted that there was no change in the basic mission of the marines in Lebanon. They said that the new orders, which allow the use of offshore naval and air power to be ordered by local commanders, did not permit the marines to undertake any offensive ground action, or to launch any retaliatory attacks. When the marines were sent to Lebanon, as part of an International force that also Includes British, French and Italians, the mission was described as primarily political to demonstrate by their presence, support for the government of President Amin Qemayel, in his efforts to unite his country and bring about the withdrawal of all Israeli, Syrian and Palestine Liberation Organization forces.

ACCORDING TO Hess, Mrs. Irwin had been stabbed several times with a "smaller-type blade Instrument" and suffered at least one broken arm.
