"We cannot and will not be taken from this shelter alive." They were the only ones of those remaining who threatened violent resistance.

Meanwhile, engineers cut off Yamit's phones and razed build- Continued on Page 7, Col. 1 Mf photmlm ItrictutaM YAMIT, Occupied Sinai (AP) Israeli troops lifted women resisters off a roof with a crane and battered open doors today as they began removing Jewish settlers who reject Israel's pledge to return the Sinai Desert to Egypt.

"There was some weeping and everybody is in depression, both us and the army," a settler identified as Menachem Granit said in a two-way radio broadcast overheard by reporters, who were barred by troops from watching the evictions. "Everything is being done in slow motion." More than 2,000 squatters in the Mediterranean coast town of Ya-mit barricaded themselves in buildings after morning prayers but troops made no immediate moves to evict them. Yamit was the last of the settlements Israel established after it captured the Sinai in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Busloads of troops arrived Sunday in Yamit, in the northeast Sinai on the Mediterranean coast, to begin the evacuation of some 2,000 Jews opposed to the abandonment of the last of the settlements Israel established after it captured the Sinai in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. The last third of the territory still in Israeli hands is scheduled to be returned to Egypt next Sunday in accordance with the 1979 Camp David peace treaty.

The other two-thirds was handed back 1980. "ie'rritbry were ordered back to Israel on March 31. Maj. Gen. Haim Erez, military commander of the evacuation in Yamit, said he hoped the 2,000 who refused to leave the town would do so peacefully.

"If not, we'll find a way to evacuate them without anything happening that we don't want," he said. The ultra-nationalists in the bomb shelter, most of them believed to be Americans aged 17 to 25, sent out a note Sunday saying if the troops tried to evict them, one of them would commit suicide every two hours, and the last one alive would open fire on the troops.

65 to Fight Lease Revocation Water Fight Rages On In Buena By DEBRA BISSINGER Staff Writer BUENA BOROUGH Residents are preparing to fill the borough hall here tonight and demand a solution to the problem of contaminated well water. "The building will be packed," said Central Avenue resident Jane Giovinazzl, whose well is badly contaminated, with trichloroethy-lene (TCE). "Because of the story that came out they are aware now. They weren't aware before. They're scared and they're angry.

They don't want it in their yard. Tests by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection revealed that at least five wells contained unsafe levels of TCE, which has been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The New Jersey Division of Water Resources fined South Jersey Clothing Co. in Minotola $5,000 last week and ordered the company to decontaminate the groundwater, which is polluting the borough's wells.
