Charles A. O'Brien says may cost them "billions of dollars" in damages. At issue: air pollution. The complaint filed in U.S. District Court yesterday ac MIAMI UP) The Justice Department has filed suit accusing a Florida utility of ruining aquatic wildlife by discharg ing hot water into Biscayne Bay.

In its first suit to halt thermal pollution, the Justice Depart ment said yesterday the threat to marine life would be even greater when Florida Power Light Co. completes conversion of its Turkey Point plant to nuclear power.

He also sought a court-ordered deadline of 45 days for the firm to submit a plan eliminating destruction of the natural environment of Bis cayne Bay.

The internationally known geologist said that eight days of intensive study revealed no new earth movement in the "slow earthquake" that has beset the city. "By Bradyseism (the scientific name for slow earthquake) is a fact of Pozzuoli," Tazieff said. "If it increased its tempo, the situation could become worrisome." The unusual geological phenomenon that has raised Pozzuoli at least 28 inches caused a mass exodus two weeks ago that halved the population of 68.685. Most of the frightened emigres have returned.

There was no indication on the scope of the probe or whether more than one station is involved in the charges. BUT the FCC gave its chief hearing examiner power to subpoena books, documents and other records and authority to designate an examiner to preside over hearings which will be "nonpublic unless and until" it is determined that it would be in! the public interest to have open sessions. The FCC said the inquiry will be "into alleged practices of broadcast licensees or permit tees including any networks involving payments to employes or officers of networks to influence the grant of network affiliations." In New York last month, the American Broadcasting Co, fired Thomas G. Sullivan, 43, of New York, as its midwestern regional manager upon his arrest on a complaint filed by an ABC executive that Sullivan took a bribe from an executive of a Dayton, Ohio, television station seeking network affiliation.
