Rescue work continues for 1 1 trapped in cabin STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) A bulldozer plowed through deep snow today in an attempt to reach 11 persons stranded by a weekend storm in a cabin near Coburn, about 25 miles east of here, state police said.

Six snowmobiles Tuesday battled snow drifts up to six feet deep and reached the cabin which is located on the fringe of Poe Valley State Park. Charles Frazier, a spokesman for the Penns Valley Snowmobile Club, said all 11 persons appeared in good condition. He said they identified themselves as Jane Sheetz, Ron Clark, Norma Shearer, Ray Bolig III, Lynee Rolig, Tanya Rolig, 3, Carol Sheetz, Carl Hoke, Terry Bailey, Linda Bailey and Bob Keefer. Frazier said "most of them" were from the Millersburg area in Dauphin County. All reportedly had been at the cabin since Friday.

Earlier Tuesday, a state police helicopter hovered 10 feet above the ground and dropped food and other supplies to the people. Troopers described the area as "wild country" and said the bulldozer was expected to reach the cabin sometime today. State police in Harrisburg said the plight of the 11 became known when two others in the stranded party walked out for help early Tuesday. The two were reported to have walked through the heavily-wooded area to Aaronsburg, about 10 miles north of the cabin. The state police chopper was dispatched to the cabin from Harrisburg after snow-removal equipment failed to clear the way to the cabin.

Allocations will be made to the agencies at the meeting Monday, in Kennedy better when I see him right here. I will be happiest when he gets home." In Beirut, a Lebanese Cabinet minister said he had information that the hijackers didn't know young Kennedy would be aboard the plane. "He was not the target," said Public Works Minister Kamal Khoury. "In fact, the hijackers may have released all the men passengers because he was among them." Five other Americans were among the passengers: Mr.

and Mrs, Harrison Munday of El Segundo. Margarethe Horn, a Vietnam war widow from Los Angeles, and her 2- month-old son Richard, and James Wallace of Elm Grove, a Peace Corps worker in India going home to see his ailing mother.

She said an executive board meeting in advance of Monday will make a final tabulation of the campaign returns and reserves on hand, to report to the annual meeting. nature of future U.S.-Chinese relations. But all signs indicate that something positive will come from the first visit to China of any U.S. president.

When President and Mrs. Nixon and Chou arrived at the Capital Gymnasium there were a good many empty seats in the huge hall. But it was the largest number of Chinese as a group to see Nixon since his arrival Monday. Many school children were present. There were no introductory speeches before the skilled Chinese gymnastic teams began their two-hour exhibition.

With Chou between them and a woman interpreter just behind, the Nixons joined the crowd in enthusiastic applause for each athletic routine. Absent tonight were China's two first Ching, Mao Tse-tung's wife, and Teng Ying-chao, Chou's wife. Both had attended the ballet performance given for the Nixons Tuesday night. Nixon's meeting this afternoon with Chou was the third of their daily private talks and lasted a bit longer than their meeting Tuesday. Nixon said before he arrived that he expected these sessions to last two hours, and their extended length was taken as an indication that the two leaders were making a searching examination of a wide range of issues.

At the outset of the meeting today, Chou dropped what could be a hint that some U.S. newsmen may be allowed to stay on after Nixon leaves. "If the press wants to see any more places, they can apply to the Department of Information," Chou remarked to the American reporters and photographers as he sat down with Nixon for their third private conference. "You don't have much time here," the premier added. Chou's remarks sent many of the 87 visiting journalists to the Information Department seeking permission to remain after Nixon leaves China next Monday.

These newsmen interpreted Chou's reference to the seven-day limit on their visit and their three-city itinerary as a hint that his government might be prepared to let some of them stay on for a wider look. The newsmen who heard the premier had no opportunity to question him about his remarks, and soon after they were ushered from the conference room. Nixon's one-hour meeting with Chou Monday and their four-hour talk Tuesday had been held at the Great Hall of the People in downtown Peking. Today the President was the host at the Peking White House, the big government guest house in the western suburbs at which the President and Mrs. Nixon are staying.

Chou arrived promptly at 2 p.m., and the President greeted him with a hello in Chinese. After responding with a smile, Chou slipped out of his overcoat and, standing with the President for news pictures, asked the newsmen through an interpreter: "How are you all?" The President cracked: better than they deserve." Once inside the conference room, Chou commented: "The press must have their time." He added that the photographers should take more pictures of the President than of him. Nixon responded that American -from page 1 Mrs. Horn, whose husband was killed in a plane crash in.Laos, told newsmen: "I simply closed my eyes and prayed. "When they took over the plane, I thought something awful was going to happen.

Everyone got more and more scared as we approached Aden and the hiiackers planted explosives near the emergency exits. "The hijackers looked quite ordinary, innocent young men. but they carried pistols and grenades in their hands and they told us not to cause any trouble. "They said they were patriots who wanted to free their country from Israel and no one would stand in their way." The Lufthansa jet was seized early Tuesday an hour after taking off from New Delhi for Europe. The hijackers said they were members of the Zionist Occupation Victims Organization, with headquarters in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip.

Friendliness -from page 1 photographers had plenty of pictures of him. and if they had any more "they would burn them." Nixon asked Chou if he thought the permit him and his wife to visit the Great Wall, some distance outside Peking, on Thursday as planned. The premier assured him the weather would "turn fine." Seated with Nixon at the conference table were Henry A. Kissinger, his adviser for national security affairs, and two of Kissinger's senior assistants. Chou was flanked on his side of the green conference table by Chao Kuan- hua, vice minister of foreign affairs.

Chang Wen-chin, director of the Foreign Ministry's department for West Europe, America and Australasia: Wang Hai-jung, the ministry's deputy director of protocol, and an interpreter. Tang Wen-sheng. No information whatsoever about what was being discussed was being leaked, in accordance with the two governments' agreements to say nothing that might hinder a frank and illuminating exchange for the two leaders' viewpoints. But the obvious good humor which both the President and Chou have exhibited on every public occasion together seemed to indicate that they were making satisfactory progress in their exchange of viewpoints. While the President spent the day at his quarters in conference, Mrs.

Nixon toured tirelessly, undeterred by intermittent snow. She spent 90 minutes at an agricultural commune west of Peking, walking down alleys and across furrowed fields, visiting classrooms, observing an Acupuncture treatment on a 68-year-old woman and recalling her girlhood on a farm as she tried unsuccessully to pet a pig and visited a one-room cottoage. This afternoon Mrs. Nixon visited a glass factory. The people of Peking finally got to see pictures of Nixon's visit on television Tuesday night.

The local station showed scenes of the President's arrival at the airport Monday and the banquet Chou gave that night. Today people stood six deep outside the offices of the Peking People's Daily, the Communist party newspaper, looking at window displays of pictures of Nixon's meeting with Mao Tse-tung. Tuesday's edition of the People's the first account and photos of the visit published in China, were sold out and became a collector's item.
