Water Supply the auspices ot me governor's Office, which was represented by Frank Brooks Robinson, executive director of the Economic Development Committee of the Cabinet. The session was held in the Southern Alleghenies Planning and Development Commission Office, Altoona. Southern Alleghenies representatives included Stephen C. Mandes, executive director, as well as Edward Silvetti and Patrick Miller. The Bald Eagle Water Company was represented by Clem as well as Martin Weiss, a company official.

In addition to President Miller and Chairman O'Brien, the borough representatives included Borough Secretary Raymond Irvin and Borough Engineer Richard T. Dobson. ASSURANCES GIVEN "1 am pleased to give you the assistance that we can provide 500,000 and possibly up to 750,000 gallons per day," Mr. Clem said. He further pointed out that, under present circumstances, this supply could continue throughout the anticipated three to five-year period when repairs, construction or other courses of action are underway.

President Miller expressed pleasure with Bald Eagle's assurances and indicated this would help "alleviate community concerns about available water as Council continues to work on the permanent solution to the problem." While representatives of the Blair Gap Water Co. were unable to attend the meeting, information was presented that sources are expected to continue to be available at the present rate. The borough is now drawing less than 50,000 gallons per day from Blair Gap lines, but could increase this with the addition of pumping equipment to overcome pressure problems in the lines. "We have been confident that our supplementary sources, coupled with the amount available from our remaining reservoir, would provide the water needed throughout this emergency," explained Mrs. O'Brien, "but we are now more secure with the assurances that we can continue to rely on these supplies whenever necessary over the next several years." The most recent borough meter readings indicated metered sales usage amounted to 1.2 million gallons daily, she explained, and that the combined supplies from Bald Eagle and Blair Gap "would be able to provide a major portion of this amount." Both President Miller and Chairman O'Brien expressed appreciation for the recent meeting and resulting assurances.

Reagan Relaxes, Nofziger said Reagan will stay at the government residence at One Jackson Place within sight of the White House when he is in Washington. Reagan did not plan to hold any meetings today and was to attend church Sunday near his Pacific Palisades home. He would then fly by military helicopter to his ranch for five days. Nofziger said there will be no meetings, no visitors "and they do not expect any intrusions." Asked if Reagan will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin when Begin flies to the United States this weekend, Nofziger said, "I can't absolutely rule anything out, but I can tell you there are no plans for Reagan to meet with Begin or any other dignitary." Nofziger said Reagan's five days at the ranch would be spent digging post holes, mending fences and riding horses. "He enjoys physical labor and physical exercise.

He likes to get away from the maddening crowd," Nofziger said. While Reagan held no formal meetings Friday, members of his "personnel advisory committee" met in Los Angeles to begin the appointment selection process. Many of the 18 members are part of the so-called "kitchen cabinet," or longtime Reagan friends, such as industrialist Justin Dart, businessman Holmes Tuttle and Reagan's personal attorney, William French Smith. Nofziger said the kitchen cabinet "will certainly be consulted and asked for advice and counsel in both Cabinet and sub-Cabinet positions."

The denunciation Friday was just one of three indications that the 48-day-old war was causing increasing tensions in Iran. Other signs the war may be starting to wear down the Iranians emerged in two broadcasts by Tehran Radio. One hinted at an internal US Readies immunity, unfreezing Iran's assets in the West and returning the late Shah Mohammed Rza Pahlavi's money to Tehran.

U.S. officials say President Carter does not have legal power to comply literally with all four conditions, especially confiscation of the shah's wealth. Thus, resolution of the crisis will depend on Iran's willingness to accept a liberal interpretation of the demands. In the case of the shah's wealth, for instance, the president could order U.S. banks to identify the shah's assets, thus allowing Iran to seek the money through American courts.

As for legal immunity, U.S. officials believe, after reading the official version of the demands, that Iran actually is asking two things: of normal immunity that sovereign governments have in U.S. courts. Such immunity does not protect a foreign nation's assets against court judgments, but it does keep the money from being attached before a judge hands down a decision. by the U.S.

Beckwith said the third shift at the site was cancelled and an investigation will determine the exact nature of the mishap. Five Miners injury. Some had felt tremors but were not sure what caused them.

The five victims had been removing old rail tracks in an unused section of the mine. About 25 to 30 family members stayed at the mine office throughout the search. A minister was with them. The Salvation Army passed out sandwiches, soup, coffee and soft drinks from a trailer. Ambulances were parked nearby.

West Virginia has a long history of coal mining tragedies. More than 20,000 coal miners have been killed in the state's mines over the past century in individual and multiple-death accidents.

power struggle in Tehran and made it sound as though former Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh was about to be arrested. The second ordered all Iranians to turn in foreign currency by Nov. 12. Analysts interpreted this to mean that with its foreign assets frozen by the United States and oil revenues halted in the war Iran's treasury was running low. Iraqi artillery late Friday pounded Abadan with a heavy barrage in preparation of an expected offensive on the Middle East's largest oil refinery, Tehran Radio reported.

The radio also said Iranian defenders returned the fire and rebuffed attacks on the important Khurramshar bridge over the Karun river, 9 miles north of Abadan city, denying the route to Iraqi forces attacking the refinery from the north. Columns of- Iraqi armor rumbled toward Khurram- shahr, apparently building up for another assault on Abadan, Iraq's major military target since the war began. In Tehran, the revolution's No. 2 ayatollah openly denounced the Iranian army's failure to break the Abadan siege and told army commanders to act more "decisively" and launch "lightning" attacks against Iraq. "If they are weak and incapable, they should say so," Tehran Radio quoted Ayatollah Hussein Montazeri, highest ranking religious leader after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, as saying of the army.

At the same time, another senior Iranian clergyman heaped abuse on President Carter and President-elect Ronald Reagan. "One (Carter) is a hypocrite, who under the guise of defending human rights, suppressed basic human rights. But this one (Reagan) is plainly blasphemous," said Hojjat 01-Eslam Khamenei at Tehran University Friday prayers. Iraqi officials denied Iranian charges it tortured Iranian Oil Minister Javad Baqir Tonguyan, captured by Iraqi troops last week. Iran said he was healthy when shown on Iraqi television a few days ago but a Baghdad newspaper' subsequently reported he was wounded when seized.

"It is patently clear that Baghdad's vile regime has the oil to such torture that now his life is in danger," Tehran Radio said, warning that Iran holds Iraq responsible for the minister's life. State Weather Is Changeable A series of rapidly moving weather systems will produce changeable skies plus showers and thundershowers over Pennsylvania through the weekend. An eastward moving cold front left the state with some lingering showers and an isolated thundershower in the east today. A small high pressure following the front allowed some sunshine to break through at times throughout the state. stale.

Another cold frontal system moving rapidly toward the Keystone State from the northwest will pass over the state Sunday. This will cause cloudiness to increase tonight with showers and possibly a few thundershowers developing in the west late tonight and moving into eastern sections Sunday. Low temperatures tonight will be mainly in the 40s. High temperatures Sunday will be in the mid 50s to low 60s and there may be some clearing in the afternoon in the west after frontal passage. Early morning temperatures were in the 40s or low 50s.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Consumers have dusted off their credit cards and resumed their old borrowing habits another sign the recession is over, although trends on the unemployment and inflation fronts remain grim.

The Federal Reserve Board the nation's central bank said Friday that for the second month in a row, consumers borrowed more money than they repaid, indicating the public is slowly regaining confidence in the economy. Two government reports issued the same day show that despite the economy's cslow recovery, inflation and unemployment resumed their upward spiral in October following dips in both categories in September. The Labor Department said unemployment rose 0.1 percent to 7.6 percent in October and wholesale prices of consumer goods rose 0.8 percent last month. Neither figure surprised government and private analysts, who noted the jobless rate typically rises at the beginning of a recovery period when more people begin looking for work. And, as many experts had expected, rising food prices and higher price tags on new 1981 model cars boosted overall wholesale prices 0.8 percent in October following a 0.2 percent decline in September.

If producer prices continue to increase at their October rate for 12 months, prices would jump 12.6 percent over the year. The producer price index now stands at 252.2, meaning those goods that cost $100 to produce in 1967 now cost $252.20. Auto prices the major factor in the October increase rose 3.4 percent last month, following a 4.2 percent drop in September. Prices for consumer foods also moved up 0.5 percent over the month, after edging down 0.2 percent in September. They mainly reflected a large increase in sugar prices.

Lawrence Chimerine, chief economist for Chase Econometrics, a private forecasting firm in Bala- Cynwyd, said the report indicates "there is still a lot of inflation out there, concentrated in the food sector. That's bad news for consumers because it shoots any discretionary spending." Although the 7.6 percent unemployment level in October was not much different than in the last two months, it represented a major shift in the employed population. The unemployment level for adult men dropped to 6.4 percent in October the first time since April that it has been outside the narrow range of 6.6 percent to 6.7 percent. The favorable decline reflects moderate improvements in the construction and durable goods manufacturing industries both traditionally male-dominated fields. Adult women, however, were not so lucky.

Their unemployment level jumped from 6.1 percent in September to 6.8 percent in October following two months of decline. In a separate report, the Federal Reserve Board said consumers increased their credit card borrowing and car loans by 6.7 percent in September to $27.3 billion. At the same time, consumers liquidated a record $25.9 billion in debts. The result was a $1.45 billion increase in outstanding consumer installment credit, following a marginal $15 million increase in August and declines in the four previous months. Total outstanding consumer debt increased 0.3 percent in September to $304.7 billion.

MIDDLETOWN, PA. (UPI) General Public Utilities Corp. said Friday the cleanup of Three Mile Island will take more time and money than previously calculated. The company submitted revised preliminary estimates to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission saying the time needed to complete the job' may extend two to three years behind the original deadline and that the cost will escalate from $550 million to nearly $1 billion if an inflation rate of 10 percent a year can be assumed. GPU announced earlier this year it was forced to reduce its elf nup and repair work at se Mile Island.

Since then, the company said it "and others" have been exploring ways of getting federal aid to ease the financial burden of the accident on electric rate payers.

(U PI) Wanda Brandstetter, the Equal Rights Amendment worker ordered to do public service work and pay a $500 fine for trying to buy a state lawmaker's vote, says she will keep on pushing the ERA. She also said she will appeal her sentence, handed down Friday by Sangamon County Associate Circuit Judge Jeanne Scott.

That sentence a year of probation-like conditional discharge, the fine and 150 hours of public service work will be delayed pending the appeal's outcome. Mrs. Brandstetter, 56, Chicago, was convicted Aug 22 of bribing state Rep. Nord Swanstrom with an offer of $1,000 and campaign help in exchange for a pro-ERA vote. It was the first known felony conviction of an ERA worker in the nation.

In an emotional speech before the judge Friday, Mrs. Brandstetter maintained her innocence and said she had been motivated only by the desire to help others through the ERA'S ratification. "I stand here because the men of this nation have betrayed one half of the human species, their own mothers included," she said as her body trembled and her voice cracked. Several ERA supporters wept and said the sentencing would not detract from their efforts. "I will do everything I can to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment," Mrs.

Brandstetter said after leaving the courtroom. She called on citizens across the nation to work for it and said she might not pay her taxes to protest the failure of ratification by the necessary 38 states. Her lawyers and the prosecutor said the sentence was fair although Swanstrom said it should have been stiffer. She could have received up to seven years in prison a $10,000 fine for bribery, a felony. Illinois National Organization for Women President Sheila Clark said she thought the sentence was "patronizing" because Mrs.

Brandstetter was ordered to do traditional women's social work. A man probably would have been given a heftier fine and a prison term, said Ms. Clark, although she did not wish either for Mrs. Brandstetter. Ms.

Scott ordered Mrs. Brandstetter to either work with the mentally handicapped or tutor low-income Saturn Saga: Voyager Finds Stormy Red Spot Hunts New Moons PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) Voyager 1 discovered a Jupiterstyle "red spot" on unexpectedly stormy Saturn and went hunting today for unknown moonlets of the ringed planet. The cameras of the spacecraft, which is closing fast on Saturn, were programmed to search the dark area outside the rings for satellites too small to be seen from Earth. Voyager was looking for any satellites that might exist outside Saturn's ring, a loosely knit band of debris about 1,100 miles thick that is the outermost of the known rings, said project scientist Edward Stone.

The spacecraft was almost 948 million miles from Earth and less than 4.5 million miles from Saturn, speeding toward its closest approach next Wednesday, 77,174 miles. Television pictures beamed back to the Jet Propulsion laboratory Friday revealed the presence of a stormy gaseous atmosphere. They provided a closer look CQnfirming earlier indications that Saturn also has a "red spot," like the famous feature on Jupiter, but smaller, said Dr. Bradford Smith, leader of the photo analysts. It has apparently existed for some time in Saturn's southern hemisphere, and first appeared in Voyager's photos as early as August, he said.

The 780-mile-wide red spot shows clearly in one col- orenhanced photo. The fact that the red color comes from computer enhancement "doesn't change it," Smith said. "It is orangeish or red in color." The photos and other scien- tific data also showed more puzzling concentric features in the series of debris-strewn rings around Saturn, the planet's best known feature. Smith said the spacecraft is returning information challenging the long-held theories that Saturn's rings, believed to be particles of ice and other matter, were perturbed by the gravitational pull of the moon Mimas, which lies outside the ring circle. Other features, which were beginning to become visible on the southern hemisphere, indicate that gasses swirl up and down within the thick atmosphere of the planet.

Photos of the northern hemisphere of-, Saturn show complex, cloud structures beneath the haze that obscures all features from ground-based telescopes. The haze is described as a photochemical effect created by sunlight on the methane molecules extending far above the cloud tops. Like Jupiter, which Voyager 1 explored last year, Saturn is a huge, multi-layered ball of gas with no solid surface, except perhaps for a small core of iron and rocky material deep within it. Scientists said it appears that Saturn throws off even more energy than Jupiter in relation to its size and its distance from the sun. Both planets generate more energy than they receive from the sun.

Stone said today's program also involved looking for a cloud of material believed to exist in association with the large moon Titan and also "for anything else that might be there." Voyager 1 will examine the satellite Titan at a distance of 2,500 miles next Tuesday. Man Kills Worker Then Dies After Battling Police PHILADELPHIA (UPI) A convicted killer shouting "I'm God and he's the devil" fatally stabbed a construction worker with a 12-inch butcher knife on a street corner Friday and later died himself after battling with police clad in riot gear, police said. An investigation was underway to determine whether officers acted properly in subduing James Willis 38, of Philadelphia, who had an arrest record dating back to 1963, police said. "An autopsy indicated Willis died of traumatic asphyxiation caused by pressure on the chest while police were attempting to handcuff the man," said Homicide Lt. Lynn Sturkey.

"The medical examiner ruled the death accidental." For no apparent reason, Sturkey said, Willis stabbed Walter Starks, 44, nine times on a North Philadelphia street corner about 1 p.m. Starks, of the city's Hunting Park section, died at St. Joseph's Hospital 15 minutes later. Witnesses told police that Willis pulled Starks off an eight-foot scaffolding and began stabbing him, shouting, "I'm God and he's the devil!" police said. Police held Willis at bay and negotiated with him for two hours as he was "screaming and slashing in circles," a police spokesman said.

Willis told police he wanted to talk to world leaders and others. Firefighters then knocked Willis down by spraying him with high-powered water hoses, police said. Several officers with riot shields, helmets and flak jackets moved in on Willis and attempted to disarm him, flailing at him with clubs to knock the knife from his hand, police said. Local television cameras recorded the action. Willis was taken from the scene unconscious about 3 p.m.

and pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital at 3:45 p.m., police said. Police said Willis was committed to Farview State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in December 1971 for the murder of a Philadelphia man. In that case, Willis allegedly knocked on the door of the victim's home and slashed his throat with a meat cleaver. Police said Willis was paroled on the murder conviction in August 1976.

They said he was arrested again in 1978 on robbery and assault charges, jailed again at Farview, a northeastern Pennsylvania facility. Soon afterwards, he was paroled again. students in biology, a subject in which she holds a doctorate. "But for this one transgression," Ms. Scott told her, "your entire life has been exemplary." The judge said it was tragic Mrs.

Brandstetter's "zeal" for the ERA overcame her judgment in an isolated instance and wished her good luck. Mrs. Brandstetter said she has gone into debt to pay $21,000 worth of legal costs from the trial and post-trial motions are costing another $7,000. ERA backers have collected several thousand dollars toward her defense fund. Defense attorney Sheila Murphy said the appeal would be based on many of the arguments tendered Thursday, when Ms.

Scott refused to overturn the conviction or grant a new trial. Defense attorneys argued Mrs. Brandstetter offered a legal campaign contribution just as others did, including STOP-ERA leader Phyllis Schlafly. Mrs. Brandstetter said she told Swanstrom, a Pecatonica Republican, to "vote his conscience" when she handed him her NOW business card bearing the offer May 14 outside the Illinois House chambers.

Trains Crash, 120 Injured In New York DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. (UPI) Officials investigating the fiery, head-on I collision of an Amtrak Tur- boliner and a Conrail train" said human and mechanical error may have caused the mishap that injured 120 people and snarled rail traffic during the' afternoon rush hour. There were no deaths or serious injuries in the Friday crash, which delayed nearly 12,000 commuters. "An accident of this nature should not happen," said Conrail spokesman Bob Van Wagoner. "It appears there was human error and mechanical error involved.

We won't know until the completion of our investigation that began three minutes after we learned of the incident." Eighty people were taken to four area hospitals, spokesmen for the hospitals said today, and were treated for such injuries as broken bones, bloody noses, cuts and bruises. Sixteen were admitted. About 40 more riders were treated at the scene. "I saw people running, people with blood on them, people walking across the tracks," said Geraldine Tino, a volunteer ambulance worker and one of the first to arrive after the accident occurred at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

"They were in shock," she said. "I had just dozed off to sleep," recalled Mary Brad- zick, a passenger from Buffalo. "There were several long jerks. I hurt my knee. The lady next to me was thrown in the a isle." Based on a preliminary inspection of the site, near the Dobbs Ferry railroad station about 20 miles north of New York City, National Transportation Safety Board officials said the trains, heading in opposite directions, were put on the same track because of an error by Conrail switching tower employees.

Federal railway officials told their superiors that at about 3:30 p.m., a blocking device did not function between Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx and Tarrytown.
