(AP) A weeklong strike at Attica prison is over, according to prison officials, who report that inmates returned to their jobs as usual Monday morning. "There are no holdouts," said Al Castro, a Department of Correctional Services spokesman. Prison life was reported near normal over the weekend, when the shops that provide most of the inmate jobs were closed.

However, there had been reports from guards and visitors of tension and misunderstanding among the prisoners after the state agreed to most of their demands last week. Accounts of conditions inside the maximum-security facility were all second-hand, but they agreed that the protest had been peaceful. Reporters were barred from the prison, but Castro said they might be allowed to re-enter and talk to inmates sometime Monday. 2 borough (Continued from Page One) Borough kept its old base station in operation just to service the township until it came into the system.

Phillips said he was not only expressing his own resentment at the statement attributed to Startzel, but noted also that all members of Mount Carmel Borough Council, Mayor Frank Cimino and members of the police department were much disturbed over the incorrect information released by the head of the township board of supervisors.

"He was very shook up," Waugh said. The chief said the car used by the two robbers was believed to have been stolen from a parking lot at Knoebels Groves at 9:00 p.m. Sunday. The car, owned by Debra Watts of McEwensville, R.D., is a 1962 Chevrolet sedan. It is described as having a shiny new black paint job with a red stripe, Waugh said.

A person who saw the car leaving Knoebels Groves said the driver was wearing a white teeshirt. The Chevron station was recently purchased by Feudale and two other men, Daniel Gallagher and Joseph Dudeck. Dudeck is also from Shamokin. Neither of the two other owners or anyone else was in the station with Feudale at the time of the robbery, according to Waugh. It isn't known if the two robbers are still in the Shamokin-Mount Carmel area, Waugh said.

An intensive search is underway. ALLENTOWN Pennsylvania Power Light Company has established a corporate-wide, energy planning group to give priority to analyzing the increasingly complex energy questions and uncertainties facing the company today. Composed of 16 division and department heads representing a wide range of functions and responsibilties, the newly established Corporate Energy Planning Council will be the focal point for developing company decisions that are key to providing adequate electric service in the mid-1980s and beyond. Typical of the questions which faces but which can't be resolved by the company alone are: What will be the available supplies of natural gas and oil in the years ahead? How will supplies (or shortages) of other fuels affect the demand for future electric service? What kinds and sizes of generating units should be built? How do we comply with new and changing air and water quality regulations? Will rate levels be allowed which are sufficient to raise the capital needed to build electric facilities? How much can control over customer electric usage and energy conservation programs offset the need for new facilities and new capital? Central to the CEPC's task will be to chart recommended courses of action and alternatives designed to meet customers' projected energy needs within the limitations of a national energy policy, environmental controls, financial and regulatory requirements as well as siting and land use laws. As an in-house "think-tank," CEPC members will be backed by a small full-time staff with experience Clues sought in crashes By The Associated Press Investigators have ruled out sabotage in the crashes of two U.S.

C141 jet transports that killed 39 persons, and are looking for onboard flight recorders that could reveal the crews' last words. The U.S. Air Force said Sunday that sabotage definitely was not to blame for the crashes Saturday in Greenland and England. The C141 Starlifters left McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey at nearly the same time. One crashed as it was landing at the U.S.

air base in Soendre Stroemfjord, southern Greenland, and 21 of the 27 persons aboard were killed. The other er went down near Peterborough, England, in a thunderstorm, killing all 18 persons aboard. Most of the victims were American military men. "Although both airplanes were from the same base and the accidents happened within hours of each other," a Pentagon spokesman said, "it appears to be completely different circumstances in which they The causes of the crashes have not been determined, the spokesman said, but "investigators both locations found no evidence whatsoever of sabotage." He said the flight recorders were being sought "to see what kind of conversations were going on amongst the crew." Teams flew from the United States to join in the investigations. The six survivors of the crash in Greenland were to be flown to the U.S.

air base at Soendre Stroemfjord, said the plane that crashed there made a normal, straight approach, then "suddenly twisted around" and burst into Harrises plan bid for new trial LOS ANGELES (AP) William and Emily Harris, facing sentencing today, planned a last-minute bid for a new trial by renewing criticisms of the judge and jury at their kidnaping and robbery trial. "We intend to ask for a new trial on many of the grounds we have raised before," defense attorney Mark Rosenbaum said Sunday. Arguments on the motion for a new trial were expected to delay the sentencing by several hours. If the Harrises are sentenced, they could get multiple jail terms ranging from five years to life for for two kidnapings, car theft, robbery and firearms violations. Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler will have to decide whether the various sentences should run concurrently or consecutively.

Rosenbaum said the defense was trying to subpoena at least one witness for today's hearing Deputy Sheriff Dennis Banowetz, who has testified he saw a prospective juror fashioning a hangman's noose from a length of cord while waiting to be questioned for the Harris trial. That episode was the most explosive issue raised in an unusual postverdict inquiry into jury conduct. An alternate juror told the judge she saw a member of the Harris jury making the noose, but she later retracted her statement, saying she was mistaken. The Harris defense also contends that the jury could not have reached an impartial verdict because a prejudicial newspaper was smuggled into a jury room and because a juror allegedly commented that the outcome of the Harris trial was "a foregone conclusion." The juror accused of making that statement has denied it. Rosenbaum said the Harrises are "in very very good spirits." He said, "I guess you could say that they never expected more than they The Niger River in West Africa drains a basin of 430,000 square miles, an area almost twice as large as Texas.

flames after it touched down. The 21 dead included eight Danes and Greenlanders. Greenland is a Danish possession. David Taylor, 53, a civilian who saw the crash in England, said he thought the plane had been hit by lightning. "We had a thunderstorm here at the time," he said.

Glyn Stachiw, 15, who lives near the sugarbeet field where the big jet crashed. said, "There was a great big lightning flash and the plane came straight down into a field in flames. It looked like a thin line of fire. It all happened in a second and I couldn't believe my eyes." An Air Force spokesman in England said the twin crashes were "unbelievable." He said the C141 is "reckoned to be one of the safest aircraft we have, and now two of them go down in the same day." A spokesman for the Military Airlift Command said there have been seven C141 crashes since the plane was put into service in 1964, and a total of 98 persons died in them. in areas as engineering, planning, finance and economics.

The Council will submit its recommendations directly to the Corporate Management Committee, executive group with final say on corporate policies. "The CEPC is charged with developing strategies to respond to economic and social pressures bearng on the company's ability to produce reliable electric service from the mid-1980s and on," William F. Hecht, executive director-CEPC staff, says. "This means dealing more effectively with today's new constraints which make yesterday's planning look relatively simple," Hecht adds. The job will entail incorporating short range decisions of five or fewer years with longerrange programs to provide electricity in the Twenty-first Century.

"Planning is not new to since it's part of the decision-making process in every department. However, now with technical and social changes happening more quickly, more effective coordination among planning groups is imperative," explains CEPC chairman, Harley L. Collins, manager-System Planning Interconnection Affairs. "Planning now must focus on the search for new ways to cope with the impact of public attitude and governmental restrictions on the electric industry," he says. "With 10 years or more needed to build major facilities, power supply and financing decisions cannot be deferred.

1986 is effectively upon us today. We must now set our future course based on the best availabie information to make judgments refelting vision and flexibility. "In the next six months, one of the most critical decisions facing the newly formed CEPC will be the extent to which growth in electric demand can be reduced through energy conservation to offset the need for new facilities. A second critical is what are the minimum requirements for new facilities and how can we pay for them," Collins explains. Schools face strikes or Harrisburg, so the ballot box for Continued from Page One) Education Department officials agree there will be layoffs, but refuse to give firm predictions.

-Catholic school enrollment is estimated at 351,300, a drop of 10,000 from September 1975. However, this is the smallest decline in recent years and officials at the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference believe enrollment is stabilizing. -On the college level, tuition at the 14 state-owned colleges will remain at $800 per year, but it's increasing virtually everywhere else. Freshman enrollment is generally up, indicating a temporary end to drops in admissions that especially plagued some private colleges. The strike situation is perilous, with layoffs the newest issue at the bargaining table and arguments over salaries, fringe benefits and class size as bitter as ever.

Union and school board officials are plotting strike strategies like football coaches mapping out game plans. The strategists know that for the first time, the state Education Department will ask courts to force every district to offer 180 days of education. That's the minimum mandated by law, but it wasn't always enforced. Enforcement of the rule means teachers can keep a strike going, knowing they'll be ordered back to work and eventually paid for a full school year. But as the date for ordering teachers back approaches, the advantage shifts to the school board.

At that point, there's little reason for the board to offer a big raise-since teachers must return to work anyway. School boards are negotiating with one eye on teachers and the other on an angry public, which is demanding tax relief. The public's message is hindering settlements, D'Andrea said. "People can't reach Washington schools is the only avenue they have in showing their anger," D'Andrea commented. "School boards and teacher organizations are caught in the That doesn't mean teachers will forego raises, even in the first year of a multiyear contract.

The Philadelphia School Board, with a $66.6 million deficit, tried that last and it was quickly rejected. community should not say to a teacher, 'Because we're suffering you should D'Andrea said. "It's not fair. I would say to school boards to be leaders, point out what would come later. The present trend (of cutbacks) will have effect on the kind of devastating, have in 10 years." D'Andrea's solution: raise property taxes high enough to boost teacher salaries, then have school board officials join teachers in pushing for state subsidy increases.

After the subsidy hike, roll back the taxes, which already are increasing substantially. "School districts which will be increasing real estate taxes indicate average increases between seven and eight mills," Joseph V. Cravitz wrote last June in a School Board Association publication. The association surveyed 300 Pennsylvania school districts and 97 per cent of them had a 5 to 10 per cent budget increase, said Cravitz, an association official. He blamed the financial crunch on declining enrollment, which lowers the subsidy; increased mandates from state and federal agencies; increases in retirement pay for school empooyes; inflation, and employes' decisions not to leave during bad economic times, resulting in an overload of staff at top scale.

"Taxpayers are saying, "We're faced with limited resources." said Dr. Frank S. Manchester, the state commissioner of basic education.
