The other alleged recipients did not comment immediately. Former Gulf Oil Corp. lobbyist Myers told federal investigators he made a series of cross-country trips over a 14-year period to give politicians and Gulf officials sealed envelopes which contained cash in at least two instances.

REP.

HAROLD Runnels, D-NM, said for Great Lakes shipping in 17 years. In Washington, Rep. Philip Ruppe, called for an inquiry into the loss of the ship, the second largest ship ever lost in Superior. COAST GUARD officials said search ships had spotted oil bubbles at a point about 60 miles northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, where the "Fitz" was last sighted battling 2S-foot -high waves and 80-mile-an-hour winds.

Earlier, officials gave up hope for the ship. "She went down. I don't think there's any doubt about that now," said Coast Guard Capt. Charles Radt. The ship, a 17-year-old freighter owned by a Milwaukee insurance company and leased by a Cleveland firm, sank in about 520 feet of water while carrying a cargo of 26,216 tons of taconite ore pellets.

One ship reported seeing an oil slick 9 Crewmen U.S. Dist. Judge Edwin Mechem Tuesday refused to confirm or deny statements made by a representative of Gulf Oil Corp. that the representative handed him an envelope behind a "New Mexico barn" in 1964. Judge Mechem said he considered it "improper" for him to discuss the statements when they are under investigation.

He said, "I don't have any leeway at the present time. I won't comment until I'm satisfied that by saying something I won't hurt the investigation." FREDERICK MYERS, who retired as Gulf's legislative coordinator in June, told the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that he made delivery of a sealed envelope allegedly containing cash to then-ben. Mechem behind a barn near Albuquerque. Joe Fontana, attorney for Myers, said Myers did make delivery of an envelope to Mechem. He said the envelope was given to Myers by Claude Wild Jr.

who was in charge of government relations for Gulf Oil Corp. in Washington at the time. Wild pleaded guilty to a violation of the federal Campaign Finance Law in connection with $125,000 in contributions to the campaigns of Richard M. Nixon, Rep. Wilbur Mills, and ben.

Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash. Meanwhile, UPI reported the Watergate special prosecutor's office said Tuesday it is investigating Gulf Oil allegedly illegal campaign contributions to members of Congress' between 1960 and 1972. "THERE ARE STILL matters of in- vestigation," a spokesman for the off- ice said of the Gulf case. "I won't say whether I did or wheth- cr I didn't (receive an envelope).

I don't expect to hear more from them The report is to be filed Dec. 12," Judge Mechem said. "If someone did receive an envelope, there's nothing illegal about it unless they knew it was an ''legal contribution." The spokesman for the special pros- -ecutor office declined to be specific. but noted Gulf's problems in the 1972 electior were covered in November. 1.9731 hen the company and Wild pleaded guilty to the violation.

Fails disclosed Tuesday. Those responding favored by substantial margins the issuance of special licenses for tourist-oriented facilities. Respondents were almost perfectly divided on the question of whether to allow unlimited licensing for sale of alcoholic beverages. "WE'RE GOING before the Governor's Committee for the Study of Liquor License Laws Nov.

"We feel this (poll) represents pretty good cross-section." a Fails said the Chamber received a in the area and others came across debris, including two capsized lifeboats. At the Fitzgerald's helm, company officials said, was veteran skipper Ernest McSorley of Toledo, Ohio. The crew numbered 27 plus an apprentice cadet.

OGLEBAY-NORTON CO. of Cleveland, which leased the Fitzgerald, said the vessel was en route from Superior, to Detroit when it was last heard from just after 7:10 p.m. The last Great Lakes disaster involving as many men occurred Nov. 18, 1958, when a U.S. Steel Corp.

freighter, the Carl D. Bradley, broke in two and sank in Lake Michigan with a loss of 33 men. Officers on board the "Fitz" radioed to the nearby steamer Arthur M. Anderson, saying the Fitzgerald was taking on water and had lost two hatch covers. At the time, the National Weather Lost as hip Serv'M said winds touching 80 miles an hour lashed the area and kicked up mountainous waves.

Capt Jessie Cooper, skipper of the Anderson, which was about 10 miles away at the time, said the Fitzgerald suddenly disappeared from his radar screen. THE SINKING APPARENTLY happened so fast there was no time to send an SOS. If this htippened, a Coast Guard spokesman said in Cleveland, it was unlikely many crewmen could have escaped from below-deck cabins and bunks. The Fitzgerald was built in 1958, named for Edmund Fitzgerald, then president of Northwestern Mutu.al.and launched at River Rouge, Mich. At the time, she was the largest ship ever launched broadside and cost $3 million.

Her home port officially was Milwaukee. SAULT STE. MARIE (UPI) Empty life preservers washing ashore from storm-tossed Lake Superior provided grim evidence Tuesday for Coast Guard fears that all 29 crewmen aboard the 729-foot ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald drowned when the one-time "Monarch of the Great Lakes" sank in giant waves. "The probabilities are low that there are survivors," one Coast Guard officer said. AIRCRAFT AND SHIPS kept crisscrossing hundreds of miles of the huge lake, the world's second largest body of fresh water, looking for any crewmen who might have survived the Monday night disaster.

But they reported no sign of either survivors or bodies. Officials in Sault Ste. Marie said some wreckage has begun washing ashore, including the empty life jackets. The disaster shaped up as the worst.
