The plane's four other Israeli passengers, three women and a teen-age girl, returned to Tel Aviv Monday after hours in Damascus. Ninety-five passen- gers of other nationalities and the airliner's crew of 12 were released Saturday.

At least mvpraoe. BOSTON (AP) The Massachusetts Supreme Court was asked today to overturn Edgartown Dist.

Judge James A. Boyle's ruling denying attorn- eys for potential witnesses in the Mary Jo Kopechne inquest the priviledge of cross-examination. The request was filed by New Rulers Have World Guessing TUNIS (AP) Libya's new military rulers left much of the world guessing today about their -future policies toward the West and Israel. But there was general expectation that the West's huge stake in Libyan oil was not endangered. Indications pointed to a closer alignment with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and the more militant Arab nations.

And the end may be in sight for the U.S. Air Force's big Wheelus base outside Tripoli and the small British bases at Tobruk and El Adem. The junta headed by Col. Saad Eddine Abbou Chouireb which seized power early Monday proclaimed "(he Libyan Arab Republic," a name echoing those adopted by such revolutionary Arab nations as Egypt, Syria and Yemen. Iraq and Egypt were the first nations to recognize the new regime.

Tripoli Radio broadcasts stressed the "socialist" nature of the new regime and said the revolution stands for "Arab unity, socialism and freedom," the slogan of the Baath Socialist radicals in power in Iraq and Syria. But broadcast statements also gave assurances that foreign policy would remain unchanged, and foreign nationals and their property would be protected. Informed sources in Paris said the junta called in representatives of the U.S., Britain, France and the Soviet Union and told them all international agreements would be respected, including contracts for the American and West European oil concessions which have made Libya the world's fourth largest oil producer. attorneys representing Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy, in whose car Miss Kopechne died. is expected to delay the start of the inquest, which was to have opened in District Court before Judgo Boyle in Edgartown Wednesday. The request was accepted by Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice Paul C. Reardon. He scheduled a hearing on it for this afternoon, and indications were that a further hearing would be held Wednesday morning.

Kennedy's attorneys maintained during a pre-inquest hearing last week that the inquest was of an "accusatory nature," not unlike a trial. Therefore, they contented, they should have the right to cross-examine witnesses and raise objections. But Boyle held that an inquest is like a grand jury proceeding, in which no cross-examination is permitted, and he rejected the motion. Boyle, 62, a man of quiet tern- perm ent but firm on the bench, will be the presiding justice at the inquest. Meanwhile, in Edgar town today, lightened security was in evidence as the community pre- pared for the inquest.

At least nine Stale Troopers and about two dozen officers from other towns were brought in to help the small Edgartown force. Miss Kopechne, 28, a Washington secretary, was killed the night of July 18 when a car driven by Sen. Kennedy plunged off an unrailed bridge into a tidal pond on nearby Chappaquiddick Island. The prospect that Sen. Kennedy would be called as an inquest witness brought an outpouring of newsmen to Edgartown.

Ofe Forsberg, Finnish president of the organization, said he had cabled the membership asking for a strike authorization, and he expected overwhelming approval. the passengers are not freed before Sept. 8, we will go on strike 15 days later," he said.

In Cairo, meanwhile, leaders of the four countries directly involved in hostilities with Israel began meeting to coordinate military and other policies. Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad said after a three-hour meeting Monday Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jordan's King Hussein, Syrian President Nurcddin al-Atassi and Iraqi Deputy Premier Saleh Jahdi Ammash, "agreed on the necessity of mobilizing all Arab efforts to face Israeli aggression." About a million Israelis were expected to vote today in national and local elections being held by Histadrut, the national labor cooperative. The organization so thoroughly blankets Israeli life that its elections have always reflected political trends accurately. Eleven political parties have entered candidates in the election, but the Labor party is expected lo retain control. On the war front, spokesmen in Tel Aviv said Israeli jets struck at two Jordanian army camps near Shuna, in northern Jordan Monday and returned safely to their base.

Israel also said Arab guerrillas killed three Israeli soldiers and wounded four in an ambush in the occupied Golan Heights. The guerrillas attacked with bazooka and machine guns, then fled to Syria, the Israelis said. Miss Pennsylvania for an autopsy.

At least 26 of the South Vietnamese troops were reported killed, 120 were wounded and 17 South Vietnam Forms Cabinet Under Khiem Investment Committee Picking Best Brains (Continued From Page One) Borough Chairman John Carlson told the panel Saturday that elected members of the borough had endorsed the pipeline construction. Others in leadership positions in the slate who supported the pipeline construction were Al Swalling, chairman of the NORTH Commission, a state body concerned with the human and natural development of the northern regions; Ralph Sanders, executive director of the Alaska Carriers Association representing 300 trucking firms; Jim Dalton, life-long resident of Alaska and arctic logistics and engineering consultant; Charles Herbert, former official with the state government and currently a consulting mining engineer. A strong opposition to the pipeline control by the stale of Alaska was voiced by Dan Swift.a member of the Alaska Conservation Society. He said he believed Ihe Bureau of Land Management had done an excellent job of soliciting public opinion when it drew up its stipulations for the pipeline design and construction, and he asked that if the pipeline were built thai Ihe "integrity" of the line be protected at a high level thus insuring a low level risk of breaking, thawing, etc. Others questioned the urgency for the pipeline permit and construction and asked that certain stringent stipulations be laid out bcforework began.

Slil! others opposed any thought of granting a permit to build a pipeline that would destroy, deface or damage the ecology along the roule that would have a disastrous effect lhat would cause a hideous slash across Ihe lhat would deplete the natural resources of Alaska. The best brains in the United States' investment businesses are being picked by the state of Alaska for long term investment of the bonus monies coming from the Sept. 10 oil lease sale, according to the stale's Investment Committee. Short term investments of the bonus monies are being handled by the Bank of America. That Investment CommiUee, which met in Fairbanks Friday, is composed of Commissioner of Administration Tom Downes, Commissioner of Revenue George Morrison and Commissioner of Commerce Walter Kubley.

Commissioner Downes was guest speaker at today's Chamber of Commerce meeting and discussed his committee's work. He said that the Investment Committee will make a recommendation to Gov. Keith Miller based on the best ideas and the best investment proposals made after exhaustive interviews with many outstanding leaders in the field. Yesterday Downes and the other commissioners on the committee met with Dave Silva, commissioner of finance for Idaho. Idaho has a new investment law modeled after many other states.

Its new investment law is considered probably the best in the United States, Commissioner Kubley noted. Investment houses lhat the Alaska committee has already consulted with are First National City Bank of New York, Chase Manhattan Bank, Continental Illinois Bank and Trust, Mortan Guaranty, Bank of America, Chemical Bank of New York, Franklin Bank, SeattleTrur.t and Savings and the National Bank of Commerce. This week the eommiltee is meeting with counseling people from brokerages and investment firms. Commissioner Kubley said of fh 1 intensive Mr! exhaustive briefings his committee is undertaking, "We have had an imposing list of recommendations from these people who are tops in their field. We will considerall the recommendations and try to find one common denominator so we can make solid recommendations to the governor for the best possible investmer.t of Alaska's bonus money." Besides investment houses and brokerage and counseling people, tne Alaska Investment Committee has been meeting with U.S.

Treasury and Federal Reserve representatives. SAIGON (AP) New Prime Minister Tran Thien Khiem formally organized a 31-member Cabinet today that appeared, at least on Ihe surface, to have broadened the political base of Ihe South Vietnamese government. Naming of the Cabinet ended a government crisis that had reached its long-expected peak Aug. 22 when Prime Minister Tran Van Huong was eased out of office. Despite criticism of the choice of yfit another military man for a top political post, President Nguyen Van Thieu then picked Khiem, a four-star general, to organize a new government.

At first glance, the personnel he presented to Thieu in a ceremony appeared likely to please some American officials who have pressed Thieu to broaden and unity the base of his gov- emnvcnt- by including more ci vilians of wider political variety. But fell short of American wishes for the additional creation of an advisory council of top figures representing factions and elements of South Vietnam's public who mighl not have a strong voice in the government itself. The group named by Khiem to serve in the Cabinet included three military men besides himself. One of them was Lt. Gen.

Nguyen Van Vy, defense minister and one of nine holdovers from Huong's Cabinet. Many of the others are professional menHawyers, doctors and engineers. The group also contains several professors and teachers, and many persons who were politically active in past years, including in the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem. were missing. Four American Green Beret advisers with the South Vietnamese also were wounded.

The number of North Vietnamese killed was not known yet. Officers in the field said allied forces had been unable to sweep the battlefield because "every time we go out we get in trouble." The fighting began Sunday when about 400 South Vietnamese commandos ran across a base camp of an enemy division 85 miles northeasl of Saigon in jungled hills. The camp was 18 miles east of Song Be, a provincial capital Ihe enemy division had been Ihreatening. The North Vietnamese struck back from all sides as the South Vietnamese came in. Helicopters flew in 400 fresh commandos to reinforce (he em- battted battalion.

On Monday (he South Vietnamese tried to push back into the area of Sunday's fighting but again ran into strong resistance. Lt. Gen. Julian J. commander of the U.S.

2nd Field Force, visited the battle area and ordered U.S. troops from the 1st Air Cavalry Division to reinforce the South Vietnamese. The Air Cavalrymen met no resistance as they drove into the triple-canopied jungles, and fighting reportedly appeared to taper off at least for the time being. Although fighting picked up again in the area between Sai- gon and the Cambodian border, there was no indication that the upsurge was the new high point in the enemy's fall campaign which U.S. officers have been predicting for this week.

Today is the 24th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh's proclamation of the Vietnamese Republic, and American officers expect the enemy to mark the occasion with slepped-up attacks. But the action reported today resulted from allied sweeps and patrols rather than aggressive enemy action. Government headquarters reported that other South Vietnamese forces killed 18 enemy soldiers with claymore mines Monday night in an ambush 31 miles northwest of Saigon. Four Vehicle, Moose Accidents Over Weekend Four separate moose-vehicle entanglements occurred over llic weekend with various degrees of damage being done to Ihe moose and vehicles alike. Times, name would remain on Dinis' petition for exhumation and autopsy although he does not feel "the need to become involved in a militant effort for the autopsy since the emphasis has been shifted from the precise cause of death to the credibility of the witnesses." Dinis' petition, opposed by Miss Kopechne's parents, is under consideration by Judge Bernard C.

Brominski in Common Pleas Court in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Brominski was expected to issue his decision today or Wednesday. JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) Three pc-rsons were killed when a fishing boat struck an iceberg near Sumdum Glacier 40 miles south of Juneau, the Coast Guard said Sunday.

Two other accidents had only sketchy information from the State Police who reported that a moose was injured when hit by a car near Harding Lake anr" the Salcha River Bridge.

This accident was reported at 2:38 a.m. yesterday and was reported by Try ph Taylor of 46 Mile. At 3.5 Mile on the Chena Pump Road Sunday, also about 8 p.m. a moose was killed in a collusion withavehicle. NEW YORK (AP)-The New York Stock Market has closed mixed in fairly quiet trading.
