2. Tuesday Meeting Crucial CHARLESTON, Va. (UPI) Dissidents hoping to remove Arnold Miller as president of the United Mine Workers union see Tuesday's meeting of the International Executive Board as crucial to their cause. "We'll know where we stand with the executive board," reflected Bill Bryant, a leader of Miners for Recall. "A vote will put them on one side of the fence or the other," he said.

While Bryant isn't sure what action the 24-member IEB will take on the recall petitions, Miller has been adamant that his position is secure. Miller is relying on two things: what he feels is his opponents' failure to follow the proper procedure, and wjiat he insists is the padding of the petitions with non-UMW names to get 31,000 signatures. None of Bryant's supporters among working miners planned to make the Denver, IEB meeting, but three retirees might go by car. "It doesn't really matter to the movement if we're there," Bryant said.

"ALL THESE LESS THAN '1800" Montgomery Chevrolet Five passengers escaped injury Sunday afternoon when their 15 foot wooden boat filled with water near Oak Shelter, Seven Points, Lake Raystown, and sank to the bottom of the lake. The 1963 Century boat, equipped with a 65 horsepower inboard motor, was owned by Brooks E. Resisinger of 2315 Third Altoona, who was not aboard at the time of the incident.

The boat was being driven by Kena B. Strickland of Altoona. Also on board were Jacqueline E. Meyers of Altoona, John C. Waltz, of Harrisburg, Gary R.

Hack of Mifflintown, and Lisa A. Oberlin of Mifflintown. The incident occurred between 4:15 and 4:30 Sunday afternoon. The boat left the site where it had been parked, near Oak Shelter at Seven Points, and traveled safely through the no wake zone. As the driver began to accelerate in the non restricted area! passengers noticed a large volume of water coming into the stern.

The $1,200 vehicle sank within five minutes of that observation. As the vehicle began sinking, a nearby boater, Michael S. Zapotoczny, of Hollidaysburg noticed it was in trouble. He took the three women passengers aboard his boat while approximately seven or eight inches of it were still showing above the water. He then tied a rope to the sinking boat.

The two male passengers remained in the Century as Zapotoczny began to tow it. However, the boat soon became submerged and Zapotoczny cut the line. The two men swam away from the sunken boat, and were pulled aboard the rescue vehicle. Passengers in the Century were not wearing Personal Flotation devices at the time of the accident, but the boat had been equipped with them. Cause of the sinking has not been determined.

the board does. The next step is up to them anyway. We'll go from there." A lawyer for Bryant's group claims permission was requested to be represented at the meeting and that he has Miller's written denial. Bryant insisted his people had "no intention of disrupting anybody." Noting only eight originally planned to attend, he added, "You don't crash a meeting with eight people." Miller, back on job after suffering both a heart attack and a stroke, has claimed the dissidents represent sore losers in the latest election, in which he defeated both Lee Roy Patterson and Harry Patrick. The UMW president said union organizing would be the big item on the IEB agenda.

William Lamb, a IEB member from District 6 in Ohio and northern West Virginia, has said the board has no business considering the ouster issue at this time. Lamb said the UMW constitution explicitly provides that once the union's secretary-treasurer, Willard Esselstyn, has petitions from 5 percent of the membership, he is directed to send recall petitions to all union locals. If 30 percent of the membership supports the move, the IEB must set up a special election. According to Esselstyn, the issue is on the agenda since the IEB must decide if the charges are specific enough to warrant further action against Miller. Miller claims the charges are vague and confusing and that some signatures were gathered at random in supermarkets, from non- UMW members.

Bryant claims the movement crystalized in the Appalachian coalfields last September. Miners in his local were incensed over wildcat strikes and what they viewed as unfair treatment in health benefits. One charge against Miller is that he withheld news of cutbacks in the health benefits for miners in his campaign because disclosure would have hurl his re-election chances. He announced cutbacks a week after he won a second five-year term. His announcement led to a wildcat that eventually idled some 80,000 miners nearly three months.

Defense To Rest Case Today LANCASTER, Pa. The defense was expected to rest its case today in the Irial of Timothy Howard Leary, an Edgewater, Md. drifter charged with murdering three New Jersey men last summer in Lancaster. Leary, 24, is being tried in Lancaster County Court for the murders of Kevin Kent, 20, and Todd Hoch, 16, both of Lawrence Township, N.J., and John Jaeger, 20, of Trenton. The case could go to the jury Tuesday.

The four left New Jersey July 15, 1977 en route to Maryland on an alleged drug- buying trip, according to police.

After Assistant District Attorney John A. Kenncff rested his case Friday, defense attorney James Sorrentino called two witnesses. Both denied earlier testimony that Leary once threatened to kill a man in Louisiana, boasting that he had killed before. Patrick Armstrong, who stayed with Leary at the Royal Hotel in Morgan City, where police arrested Leary, said he had never heard the defendant threaten to kill Billy Joe Giroir. Giroir had testified that Leary made the threat after he witnessed the defendant beat up another man identified as "Seals." Armstrong said he also participated in the beating because Seals had taken $60 from him to buy marijuana but never returned.

Testimony by Eddie Donivan, of Oakland, a third person involved in the beating, supported the statements by Armstrong. Earlier, Giroir said he had seen the three men beat Seals in a hotel room on Dec. 3,1977. Giroir said Leary threatened Seals and then referred to previous unspecified murders. "He said he was not afraid to kill men.

He'd done it before. That's what he was on the run for from back home," Giroir testified. Armstrong and Donivan said they never heard Leary make such a statement and that Giroir was not even in the room where the threat was allegedly made. They also testified that Leary said to stop the beating "because we might kill him." Bermuda Triangle Stories Disputed UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (UPI) The only thing missing in the South Atlantic's "Bermuda Triangle" is a factual basis for the incredible stories associated with the area, according to a Pennsylvania State University professor.

Robert F. Schmalz says stories about the wedge of ocean off the southeast coast of the United States are a hoax which prey on gullibility and interest in the unknown. Schmalz maintains that the so-called Bermuda Triangle is actually one of the safest places in the world for ships and airplanes. "Many of the 'unexplainable disappearances' (in the triangle) can be readily accounted for by weather, war, mechanical failure and human error," Schmalz said. He says some of the vessels supposedly "swallowed up" by supernatural causes ac- tually either disappeared far from the Triangle or left behind debris.

Schmalz recently discussed the "myth" with researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. "Many of them were surprised by the facts," said Sch- malz. He added that most of his findings came from studying records, mostly newspapers, weather, marine and insurance reports. He said the area in question reaches from Miami, to the south; Cape Hatteras. N.C., to the north and Bermuda to the east, although the actual boundaries are "conveniently" sketchy.

Schmalz said the most popular tale about the triangle concerns the loss of the U.S. Cyclops, a Navy vessel that disappeared in March 1918 on a voyage from Norfolk, to South America. After stopping in Barbados, 1.700 miles from Miami, it never was heard from again. Schmalz said that although the ship last was seen far from the Triangle, fanatics for mystery nonetheless have used the story to support their theories. "The problem is that too many people would rather believe the fanciful tales ranging from psuedo- scientific explanations lo speculations that beings from outer space or from the submerged continent of Atlantis have spirited away vessels and humans alike," Schmalz said.

Dip In Flood Insurance Reported HARRISBURG (UPI) Fewer state residents are protected by National Flood Insurance today then before the killer flood that struck Johnstown a year ago, Community Affairs Secretary A. L. Hydeman said Thursday. Hydeman said that 125,000 persons in the state were covered by national flood insurance last year before the flood, but only 105,000 were protected now. "Just one year after a flood disaster that look scores of lives and only a few years after other floods that ravaged that state, I find it incredible that Pennsylvanians refuse to take the matter of flood insurance seriously," said Hydeman.

A House report issued after the Johnstown Flood of 1977 said that the biggest post flood problem was that so many victims resented what they felt was the insufficient level of government aid. The Johnstown victims resented receiving less than the well publicized assistance given victims of the 1972 Hurricane Agnes in Wilkes Barre, which is represented by the powerful U.S. Rep. Daniel Flood, Pa. Capital Snarl Transit Strikers Stay Out WASHINGTON (UPI) Wildcat transit strikers voted overwhelmingly Sunday night to stay off the job until their suspended comrades are granted amnesty.

The action assured another city-wide traffic snafu today. An earlier amnesty request for 180 employees suspended without pay was denied by U.S. District Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority had suspended the workers because they were suspected of leading the walkout, which was not sanctioned by the transit workers union.

More than 100,000 commuters were affected by the walkout, which began shortly before dawn Thursday when mechanics, demanding cost- of-living increases of 20 cents an hour, failed to report for work and hundreds of subway and bus operators honored their picket lines. In an attempt to relieve the traffic snarl, the city put traffic cops on extended duty tours and eased parking restrictions. About 300 Metro employees and observers, meeting in a stadium parking lot Sunday night, showed overwhelming sentiment against returning to their jobs. Union spokesman Eugene Ray told the gathering of bus and rail employees. "We're sorry to inconvenience the public, but this is what we have to do.

We demand that all wildcat strikers receive 100 percent amnesty not 50, but 100 percent." Ray demanded transit officials supply written guarantees of amnesty for all workers. But Metro's counsel, Peter Ciano, said there was "absolutely" no chance the workers will win amnesty. "I was confident they were going to go back," Ciano said Sunday night. "Now they're going to bear the brunt of Judge Oberdorfer's ruling." Attorneys for Metro and the Amalgamated Transit Workers were ordered by Oberdorfer Saturday to work out a plan for an arbitration panel to open cost-of-living negotiations on July 31 and reach a decision by Aug. 6.

He ordered three strikers to appear in court Tuesday to show why they should not be cited for contempt for ignoring a back-to-work order he signed Thursday. Workers instructed their lawyers Friday to ask Oberdorfer to orde'r the transit authority to reinstate 185 suspended workers. But the judge refused to rule on the request because strikers have other recourse.
