Tearful departure for Brazil's hero RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) With a tear-stained face and Wie tribute of 238,000 fans' ringing in his ears, the man considered the world's greatest soccer player twirled his famed No. 10 jersey above his head Sunday and retired from Brazil's national team. Pele, the Black Pearl who posted 1,086 career goals, was choked with emotion as he told newsmen he decided to retire after his 110th game to give his nation a chance to develop younger players. "It is all too overwhelming," he said, half sobbing, about his farewell. "I had tried to imagine what this would be like, but it surpassed anything I could think of." But he has not left soccer still plans to play with Santoas, his professional team.

Pele played the first half of Brazil's match against Yugoslavia and then sat out the last half as his former teammates erased a 1-0 deficit for a 2-2 tie. Throughout the first half, Pele's teammates tried to maneuver him into scoring position but the tenacity of the Yugoslav defense blocked his efforts to notch one final goal. Mobbed with admirers at Ihe intermission, Pele jogged around Maracana Stadium to the strains of "Para Frente Brazil" (Forward Brazil) and "Obrigado Pele" (Thank You Pele). The two songs have become symbolic of Brazilian soccer superiority since Brazil garnered the World Cup last year. Hundreds of spectators wept Marks find openly and shouted for Pele not to retire as he trotted around the field.

Soccer fans throughout the world watched on television Sunday as Pele bade farewell. In Seville, Spain, officials canceled the bullfights so fans could witness Pele's performance on television.

Dr. Melbourne F.

Giberson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dudley F. Giberson of Alton presented a paper Monday at the Limits of Lubrication Conference currently meeting at Imperial College in London, England. One hundred engineers from Europe and the United States are attending.

r. Giberson's paper concerns "Comparison of Experimental and Analytical Analyses of Large Journal Bearings Operating with Turbulent Flow He is DR. GIBERSON a graduate of Alton High School (1959), University of Pennsylvania Towne School of Engineering (1963), and California Institute of Technology department of Applied Mechanics, where he attained his master's degree and completed work on his doctorate. Upon graduation from Caltech in 1967 Dr. Giberson joined the Large Steam Turbine-Generator Division of Genera! Electric Schenectady, N.Y., where he accomplished the objective of developing and implementing computer-assisted methods for designing bearings and rotors to help eliminate ro or instability, often called "oil whip" or "oil whirl." These methods are now being used the design of steam turbines and generators of all sizes, from smallest to largest.

On July 1, Dr. Giberson joined Turbo Research, of Philadelphia as consulting engineer. The firm was founded by a former University of Pennsylvania professor, Dr. Paul R. Trumpler.

It specializes hi fluid flow, bearing design, rotor design, rotor stability predictions and control earthquake engineering. 0J reports sales at all-time high TOLEDO, Ohio Second quarter sales and earnings of Owens-Illinois, reached a record high for any quarter, R. H. Mulford, chairman, and E. D.

Dodd, president, reported today. Sales for the quarter amounted to $389 million, compared to $342 million in the period last year. Earnings totaled $19.0 million, compared to the $18.7 million in the previous second quarter. Earnings for the three months equaled $1.21 a common share, after provision for preferred and preference dividend requirements, compared with $1.10 a share in the quarter last year. In view of the increased stability of the Brazilian currency and economy, the results of the company's majority owned glass container manufacturing operations in Brazil were consolidated for the first-time, adding about 5 cents a share to earnings.

The effect of this consolidation was not material and, therefore, prior period data has not been restated. Sales for the first six months this year also reached an all-lime high for the period of $721,575,000 compared with $688,573,000 in the first half of 1970. First half earnings totaled $30,244,000 compared with $31,833,000 earned in the period a year ago. Earnings per common share amounted to $1.84, compared with $1.85 in the previous first half. Mulford and Dodd noted that while there have been sales gains in all major divisions, the slower than planned rate of growth in the economy and increasing costs will continue to have a dampening effect on earnings growth.

They added, however, that contrary to this trend the Consumer Technical Products and Plastic Products Divisions showed significant gains in the first six months. News of mutuals rocks Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) A wary stock market is awaiting this week a new set of statistics that suddenly has assumed great importance to small investors, speculators and institutions. The new factor in the market is the monthly report from the Investment Company Institute on sales and redemptions of mutual fund shares. The report itself is nothing new; the news it brings has been decidedly so of late. In May, the ICI figures showed that for the first time in mutual fund history redemptions exceeded sales, and by the sizable sum of $121.5 million.

Purchases totaled $306.7 million, cash-ins $482.2 million. Nobody seems to be able to figure out exactly what the news means. When the May figures were released, the market dropped 17 points, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial average, falling below 900 points for the first time in three months. It bounced after that. But now the question is: What will it do if the June figures show that the trend continued.

A widespread feeling exists that should the news be bad for the mutual funds for a second month in a row it will be a sharp psychological blow to the entire market. Why is such importance being placed on mutual fund figures? Mainly because the experience of the funds could suggest the existence of a basic change in attitude on the part of many investors. The funds have known almost nothing but growth. Their assets jumped from less than billion in 1958 to $53.6 billion in 1971. The shareholder count has risen from 3.6 million in 1958 to more than 11 million now.

And the number of funds has grown "from 151 to more than 360 in the same period. Growth has been the name of the mutual fund game. Is it coming to an end, at least temporarily? Here are some things that worry observers: redemptions continue high, will it force portfolio managers to sell their investments in corporations in order to raise cash? Will it cause them to dump stocks at losses in order to meet those redemption demands. There appears to be enough cash in their reserves to pay redemptions without seriously disrupting portfolios immediately. Cash reserves in May were $2.6 billion.

While that figure seems like a lot, it may not be if redemptions continue. It was only 4.9 per cent of total assets. Cash positions last year averaged 7.7 per cent and the year before they averaged 8. a pattern of high re- r.anptions becomes chronic will it force portfolio managers to become more conservative, thereby having a continued depressing effect on stock prices? few analysts can assess (he situation with a high degree of confidence because there is so little to go on. But many of them are poised to act whtn the signals start coming Informal ceremony LONDON (AP) Actor Nicol Williamson, 34, and actress Jill Townsend, 20, have been married in a civil ceremony at the Chelsea Register office.

Only 11 of the birds are known to exist, including two females in captivity. Biologists, concerned by the species' lack of nesting success during the past two years, fear the Puerto Rican parrot may soon wing its way down the road to oblivion, following the passenger pigeon, heath hen and great auk.

Few people have even heard of the bird. As parrots go, it is not very colorful, nor is it known for its ability to talk. Dr. Ray C. Erickson, assistant director of the Interior Department's a Wildlife Research Station, says only one pair has successfully hatched eggs and reared young during the past two years.

As a result, he says, plans are afoot to trap at least one of the nine wild parrots in their wooded Puerto Rican habitat in hopes of finding a mate for the females in captivity. Biologists would like especially to capture a male but the sexes are similar in appearance. If the first bird captured is a female, Erickson said, she will be sent to the San Diego Zoo for safekeeping. Hemphill sales listed The Harry F. Hemphill Agency today announced last week's real estate sales.

For Mr. and Mrs. Michael E. Fichter of Metropolis, 111., their former 8-room residence at 3710 Aberdeen Alton, was sold to Mr. and Mrs.

Ronald EdwarJ Hazslip. For the Summers Construction the 16-room, 4- family apartment at 1504 E. 4th Alton, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. E.

Ray Pemberton. Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Lee Powles purchased the 4-raom home at 2711 Sanford Alton, previously owned by Mr. and Mrs.

James Ewing. For Mr. and Mrs. William T. Poe, their 5-room home at 3038 Western Alton, was sold to Mr.

and Mrs. Harry R. Sober. For Mrs. Edna M.

Sharkey, her six-room brick home located at 731 Ramona Place, Alton, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. J. Lezley Russell. For Mr.

and Mrs. Randolph B. Jett, their 8-room home located at .324 Sanders Bethalto, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Frank R.

Edwards. Mr. and Mrs. Michael R. Crouthers purchased the five- room brick home at 188 Bender Rosewood Heights, previously owned by Mr.

and Mrs. Richard M. Frederick, through the courtesy of the Bryant Agency. For Mr. and Mrs.

Robert L. Thompson, the six room home located at 632 9th Alton, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt Hare. Once a male is caught, it will be sent to the research station to be mated with one of the females.

Erickson foresees little difficulty in breeding the parrots if a male is obtained. The two females already have laid infertile eggs, so "they apparently like their quarters," he says. The station received its females from a Puerto Rican zoo, where they had been on display since the 1950s. The birds once were abundant in Puerto Rico. They were shot by natives for food and by farmers to prevent crop damage.
