Three young men from Texas who didn't know their rubber raft was carrying them toward certain death on the Animas River got lucky yesterday.

Their raft punctured. "They got quiie a way down but not near the rapids." said La Plata County deputy sheriff Jim Holland. "Evidently they just didn't know. It's just impossible to make that river. They lucked out." Michael Green and Bill Wilson, both 22.

and a 21-year-old identified only as "Rick," left Silverton early Friday and were reported overdue and missing 10 hours later by two girl companions. All were from Fort Worth, Tex. Their route would have taken them through a deadly combination of rapids, logjams and whirlpools 15 miles north of Durango, a stretch that killed two Colorado youths earlier this year. "I've seen that section of the river from a helicopter and it's rough," said Barry Birr of Durango. "River experts say no living thing can get through there alive during the spring runoff.

If they'd got down in there they'd be dead today." Birr called the deflated raft, "the luckiest thing that ever happened to them." The youths punctured the raft shortly before the rough water began. A passenger on a narrow gauge train saw them walking out of the area carrying the raft. However, the realignment authority surfaced as a controversial issue, with some claiming it would centralize control at the top, and others insisting it would strengthen influence of ordinary members. On the question of whether the plan would handicap or help efforts toward wider Lutheran unity, the president of sister Lutheran denomination said he was convinced it would not be a drawback. "My answer is no.

I do not believe it would be a hindrance," said the Rev. Kent n. of Minneapolis, president of the 2.5-million -member American Lutheran Church. "On the whole, I see it as a step forward." he added. The ALC, along with the LCA.

are two of three major branches of Lutheranism in the 2.8-m i 1 1 i member this country, the third being Luthern Church Missouri Synod. Dr. Knutson said his own denomination also faces action this fall on a major reorganization plan, and that there is "much that is parallel" between the two plans, despite some differences. A 15-member restructure commission of the LCA said in recommending the sweep-i reorganization of the church that it stands at "a crossroads" and failure to update the would "risk atrophy and decay." The proposal would tighten up the denomination's operational arms and lines of decision, reducing its present 15 agencies to four and trimming the present biennial governing convention of about 7I'0 delegates to an annual legislature of 250. with three -year terms.

The Rev. Dr. George For-ell. a University of Iowa theologian, said this would "aggravate the distinction of the powerlessness" of local churches and the "increasing power structure above them." However. Franklin K.

Zimmerman of Indianapolis said the present uncoordinated state of the church, and large conventions of mostly inexperienced representatives, made for a lack of clear lines of responsibility. Paddlehoard champ off on 70-day trio United Press International HULL. Mass. Larry Ca-pune, a 29-year-old liteguard from Balboa Island, shoved off from Nantasket Beach yesterday morning to begin paddling his 18-foot surfboard 2,250 miles down the Atlantic Coast to Miami, Fla. Barring mishap, he hopes to average 25 miles a day as he paddles with his arms and lies prone on his stomach on the surfboard.

He had hoped to enlist the aid of a girl volunteer to meet him each night when he came ashore, but was unable to tind anyone willing to keep tabs on him during the planned 70-day trip. Capune wanted a girl, he said, because he finds them more dependable than men who he felt might not stick to it. The purpose of having someone meet him. he said, was to make sure he arrived at each destination and notify authorities if he failed to keep the rendezvous. The on-shore companion, driving a car.

would also carry his provisions. In order to cope with his lack of "companionship," Capune attached a watertight sack to his surfboard containing personal provisions and "plenty of vitamins." The current trip is designed to set a record for paddling, nqui Uo GLENDALE Rosary for Mrs. Anna V. r.onquillo, 71, who died "esterday in St. Luke's Hospital, will be said at 8:15 p.m.

Iio to of in a Associated Press LONDON John Lennon has found an ally in his legal wrangle with the U.S. Immigration Service for permission live in America Lord Harlech, former British ambassador in Washington. The peer has written to the U.S. authorities defending Lennon, the former Beatle. The immigration service has opposed Lennon's application to live permanently in the United States on the grounds of a drug conviction in London in 1968.

Harlech expressed doubts that Lennon was guilty of possessing marijuana, although the singer pleaded guilty. He was fined 150 pounds, then worth $360. "'Leaving aside the question whether he was in fact guilty, which now seems to be doubt. I know personally of number of cases in which such a conviction has not prevented the granting by American authorities of a visa to enter the United States," Harlech wrote. He did not elaborate on his doubts about Lennon's guilt, and was not available for comment.

The peer said of the former Beatle: "When the musical history of our times comes to be written there is no doubt that the name of John Lennon will be given a most important place in it." Harlech met Lennon at a society reception at the British Embassy in Washington in 1965 when the Beatles made their first tour of the United States. Harlech, 54, was ambassador in 1961-65. Since then he has been deputy leader of the opposition in the House of Lords and president of the British Board of Film Censors. Historic, old USS Vi asp leaves fleet Associated Press QUONSET POINT. R.I.-'I he aircralt carrier USS Wasp, which helped cripple Japan's sea muscle during World War II.

was retired trom service yesterday and sent on its way to the scrap metal pile. About 400 former crewmen watched as the ship's commissioning pennant, union jack and American flag were hauled down, officially striking the Wasp from the register of the U.S. Navy. The 45-minutc decommissioning ceremony at Quonset Point Naval Air Station ended the 28-year career of the carrier, which also patrolled the blockade during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and picked up American astronauts when they splashed down from space flights. "With the passing of the Wasp." said Rear Adm.

Joseph B. Tibbits. commander of the Newport Naval Base, "we see the end of an old generation of ships of the line in the carrier aviation community. Tomorrow will bring a new breed." The reunion of Wasp crewmen was organized by a former officer of the ship, John Roosevelt, son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The Wasp was worn out. Its propeller shafts were cracked from fatigue and it needed other repairs that the Navv felt would be too expensive to perform. Its powerless hulk will be towed to Boston in about a week, where it will be tied up at a Navy pier until a scrap yard buys it. The steel of the vessel will likely be used to make razor blades. The ship, as high as a 23-story building and the length of three football fields, carried 5.000 sailors.

Its four steam turbine engines could develop 150.000 horsepower. During World War II. the Waso fought in many major Pacific battles, including Iwo Jima. Guam, Wake Island and the Philippines. It recovered astronauts from five Gemini flights.

CHAPEL NOT REQUIRED WASHINGTON iUPI) -The U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled 2 to 1 that compulsory chapel attendance at the U.S. Military Academy is an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion. the Associated DALLAS, Tex Assurances were given yesterday that a drastic overhaul in structure of the Lutheran Church in America would not impede possibilities for eventual inter-Lutheran unity. This had emerged as a key question as delegates from across the country tackled the broad scale reorganization plan, intended to clarify powers from top to bottom of the 3.2-million-member denomination.

The recommendations would make for "increased constituency participation" and also give the national "leadership greater recognition" in its role, said the church's president, the Rev. Dr. Robert Marshall. It would make for a beginning." he said. 'fresh Thousands jam roads to festival United Press International GRANBY, of youths walked along country roads previously blocked by local authorities yesterday toward a rendezvous with the Rainbow Family of Living Light and a four-day religious festival high in the Colorado Rockies.

An estimated 6.000 youths camped near Strawberry Lake, a bog in a alley near Granby and the site of the festival. About 4,000 of them had trekked into the area since Friday night, when Grand County commissioners unexpectedly pulled down the roadblocks set up last Sunday. The action came shortly after a Steamboat Springs district judge upheld the legality of the roadblocks, but authorities were worried about congestion in the small resort town. The situation was becoming intolerable at the staging area near a said county attorney Richard Douchette. He referred to the area where a temporary camp was erected by the thousands of persons rebuffed by the roadblocks.

Douchette said because of favorable health reports, the county opened the roadblocks but stressed they reserved the right to close them again. The county roads leading to the head trails up to Strawberry Lake were opened to foot traffic only Friday, but the action permitted persons to hike up rugged mountain trails to the lake to join those already in the area. The Rainbow Family of Eugene, had expected a crowd of 144,000 persons. The prospect of thousands of youths coming to the area caused tensions in the community and prompted state officials to draw elaborate plans to prevent the festival. Those plans were temporarily scrapped Friday.

The youths are also in the Strawberry Lake area in violation of an earlier court order saying health and sanitation standards were being violated. That has not been enforced. Watermelon spittiii title see to rookie goes United Press International PAULS VALLEY. Okla. -Tommy Felan.

The family physician, once the vanishing breed of American medicine, is making a comeback, according to the University of Michigan. Formerly the victim of specialization, the general prac-tioner is riding a growing surge of popularity and now has new credentials as a specialist in family medicine, according to the university. Dr. Joseph Fisher of Chelsea, president of the Michigan Academy of Family Physicians, said efforts to attract more medical students into family medicine have met with amazing success. At the same time, Fisher said, there has been a vast expansion of continuing education courses for physicians already practicing family medicine.

To meet the demand, for example, the University of Michigan department of post-graduate medicine has added a new series of courses in the past three years, with the topics chosen by the doctors themselves. Three years ago. Fisher said, a survey of senior medical students at the university indicated only 17 per cent were interested in family medicine. Now, he added, the figure is near 30 per cent and climbs to 40 per cent in most nieuicai scnoois wnen junior classes are counted. Contest winner downs .1 pounds of boiled shrimp FREEPORT, Tex.

(AP) -Shorty Conady of Freeport won the 2nd annual shrimp eating festival yesterday by downing five and seven-eights pounds of the cold boiled delicacy. Conaday, who also picked up $75 for peeling and downing the most shrimp in one hour, said he owed it all to his wife's special sauce he brought from home and used for dunking. Neil Petite of Freeport had eaten over six pounds of shrimp and looked like the winner but with a minute to go he became sick and judges disqualified him. Jo Anne Hoss of Freeport, last year's winner who downed five and a half pounds for the championship was at the contest but did not participate. She said she spent her $75 prize last year on doctor bills and now has an allergy to shrimp.

The contest was part of a fishing fiesta and shrimp festival sponsored by the Free-port Jaycees. surpassing the 942 miles he paddled down the East Coast in 38 days in 1965. He has made several lengthy trips off California, including 557 miles in 16 days from San Francisco to New-prot Beach. Part of the reason for this trip, he said, is to express his individuality in a "positive, exciting and socially accepti-. ble manner" to counter the adverse criticism college students have experienced recently.

His desire is to establish what he calls a "wet alii -ance" that would see groups of young people taking pad-dieboaiti trips..
