From a traffic standpoint, the long July 4 weekend started this afternoon ana runs through Sunday, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol. In 1978, the last year the July 4 week end was as long as this one, 21 people were killed on Wisconsin roads, the State Patrol reports. Northbound traffic on Interstate 43 and U.S. Highway 41 is expected to be heaviest between 1 p.m.

and 9 p.m. today and early Thursday, said Lt. Ron Kuhn of the State Patrol's District 3 office in Fond du Lac. Southbound traffic on those two major routes will peak between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Sunday. "We're going to have as many people available to work as we can," said Kuhn. "We'll be concentrating on the violations that cause the most accidents, injuries and deaths." He specifically mentioned drunken driving and following too close in traffic. He said traffic will be monitored from the air, and with marked and unmarked cars and with radar. One potential trouble spot will be the Highway 41 bridge over Lake Butte des Morts near Oshkosh, where deck resurfacing has reduced traffic flow to one lane in each direction, Kuhn said.

Other areas that have construction pro-, jects that could restrict traffic include: Marinette County U.S. Highway Please see Holiday A-2 The men fled on foot south on Military.

7 still hel 40' in threatened Israel releases 300 prisoners prisoners came three days after the Shiite gunmen freed the last 39 U.S. hostages held in Beirut. ii if "5 j-mfmmrmMmm-wmmmrlimm rm iff 4-T- Associated Press Radical Shiite gunmen today threatened seven Americans still in captivity in Lebanon. In Israel, the government freed 300 of 735 Lebanese prisoners whose release was demanded by hijackers who held U.S. hostages for 17 days.

The gunmen were reacting to U.S. plans to close Lebanon's airport announced after the hijacking of a TWA jet. Islamic Jihad, the shadowy Shiite extremist group, warned in a communique from Beirut that seven Americans abducted since March 1984 "will face a black fate" if the United States attacks Lebanon. The hand-written communique was delivered to the News of Lebanon, a privately owned local news agency. The communique said: "In addition to our previous statement, we wish to emphasize to the American administration and its president, clown Ronald Reagan, that it will shoulder the full responsibility if it attemps directly or through Israel any aggression against the oppressed in Lebanon." It was the second Islamic Jihad threat in as many days.

In a statement delivered to the Beirut office of a Western news agency Tuesday, the organization said its "lovers of martyrdom" were ready to launch new strikes against the United States. Most of the prisoners freed today were members of the Shiite Moslem militia Amal, whose leaders had taken responsibility for the U.S. hostages in Beirut and helped negotiate their release. International Red Cross officials at Ras Al-Bayada, the northernmost Israeli checkpoint in southern Lebanon, received the prisoners as they were freed one by one by soldiers wearing flak jackets. Earlier, the prisoners filed out of the Atlit military prison in northern Israel into civilian buses foi their 30-mile trip to the border.

The men who hijacked TWA Flight 847 had demanded the rev lease of all the prisoners. Both Isra-; el and the United States denied a-deal has been struck with the hi-; ackers to release the Lebanese iii exchange for the Americans. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin said Israel had planned to free the prisoners June 5, but their release was delayed by attacks in southern Lebanon and by the hijack drama: Rabin said Monday that the remaining prisoners would be released in the near future, depending on the security situation in southern Lebanon hear Israel's border. Some Atlit detainees have been in Israeli custody for more than years, according to Amal officials in southern Lebanon.

Ex-hostages show some bitterness Associated Press Despite the brass bands, red-white-and-blue streamers, yellow ribbons and jubilant, flag-waving crowds, ex-hostages from TWA Flight 847 had bitter words for their captors and urged Americans not to forget seven U.S. citizens still held in Lebanon. The former hostages, released Sunday by Shiite Moslems in Beirut after 17 days in captivity, began coming home Tuesday. Thirty were greeted by President and Nancy Reagan at Andrews Air Force Base, the other nine made other travel plans.

Coming home "feels like a breath of fresh air," said Simon Grossmayer, 57, as he stepped from a limousine in Algonquin, 111., with his wife, Elaine. "Unfortunately, I cannot take that breath of air all the way down, because we still have seven over there," Grossmayer said.

For a temporary period, the station will not operate after 5 p.m., Glen Slaats said today. He said his decision was partly due to a letter that appeared in Sunday's Press-Gazette. The writer complained about "dirty, filthy words describing sexual activity" that played on the FM station one recent evening.

Slaats said there have been other complaints in recent weeks. "Somebody has said something on the air which has put the university in an embarrassing situation," he said. The song the letter writer complained about is by the group the Dead Kennedys. He said he dismissed the student disc jockey who played the song. "The FCC has restrictions, which are also the station's policy," Slaats said.

"We have a list of 15 rules that every station member must see and agree with before he gets on the air, and the No. 1 rule is you will not broadcast obscene or highly suggestive material."
