"I tried putting some cold cream on them," he said, "but even that didn't help. The only way you can touch her is with gloves." "Did you call the doctor?" "No, Ma," Kathy answered.

"She didn't want the doctor," George broke in. "She only wanted you." "Does it hurt, Kathy?" The frightened girl began to cry. George answered for her. "They don't seem to. Only when she touches them." Kathy's mother put a hand to her sobbing for herself.

The woman took a cab from East Babylon to the house in Amityville. George let his mother-in-law in and hurried her upstairs to Kathy's bedroom. Kathy lay on the bed naked beneath her open bathrobe. Kathy watched as her mother's finger traced the ugly red welts that extended from just above her pubic hairline to the bottom of her breasts. The streaks were flaming red as though she had been burned by a hot poker slashed laterally across Kathy's body.

"Ow!" her mother winced, jerking a finger back from one of the welts on Kathy's stomach. "I burned myself!" I told you to be careful, Mama!"

Said Kamel, head of the PLO delegation in Cairo, read a statement to reporters at the Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Tunis asserting that last month's Soviet-American declaration was acceptable to the PLO as the basis for a Geneva conference. The Soviet-American document, Issued in New York by Secretary of State Cyrus R.

Vance and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, called for resumption of Geneva talks before the end of the year with the participation of the Palestinian people. It made no reference to the PLO, which has been rejected by Israel but has been designated by the Arab states as "the sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinian people. "The minimum basis that the PLO can accept for the participation of the Palestinian people is the U.S. Soviet statement," Kamel said. He added: "This statement should be considered as a document of the United Nations Security Council on the same basis as Security Council Resolution 242 of 1967.

"We agree to participate in the Geneva peace conference provided N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, in the name of the two superpowers, invites the representatives of the Palestinian people as part of the Arab delegation to the conference." Resolution 242 and other key U.N. measures passed since the 1967 Arab Israeli war for an eventual settlement refer only to refugees and make no specific reference to the Palestinians. Observers said the statement did not appear to signal a major shift in PLO policy. They noted it made no mention of a PLO willingness to recognize Israel's right to exist.

Israel repeatedly has condemned the PLO for its refusal to accept an independent Jewish state. Speaking on behalf of Farouk Kaddouml, who heads the PLO delegation here, Kamel reiterated the PLO is the "sole representative" of the Palestinian people. But the endorsement of the Soviet-American declaration appeared to leave open the door lor the designation of a non-PLO member as spokesman (or the Palestinians at future Geneva talks.

"I should have stayed in Jacksonville," Hytner cracked after Pa.m Beach police officers located him on the beach a few blocks south of Worth Avenuo.

Dazed and chain-smokiLe cigarett'j Swimming back toward the "Barnacle Bill," the Riviera Beach-based boat where his diving instructor was onboard, was out of the question because the current was against him. And to try to remain stationary until rescuers reached him, he said, probably would have been disastrous because the current was pulling him farther out to sea.
