Until the CEQ proposals, each ty (CEQ) to discuss CEQ's recommendations for a new com agency had proceeded more or Washington were fruitless Monday. The corps is known to be circulating its final impact statement, in rough form, among selected agencies for their comment before putting it into the final form. When all the finishing touches have been put to the 56-page final statement, it will be submitted to CEQ.

It will then become a public document. The CEQ spokesman sid Mon prehensive study of the three re-lated projects. Although results of the cru cial meeting were not made public, it appears that the Army O'Pake, who helped pay for Clair's bus fare back to his base, had few kind words to say about the jailing of the soldier. "It's incredible that Private Clair can fight in Vietnam but cannot fish in Pennsylvania," the state representative said. "We should do something to change the situation." A spokesman at Ft.

Dix said Clair would not be charged with being absent without leave, even though he was scheduled to have been back on the base at 5 a.m. Monday. READING, Pa. (AP) A Fort Dix, N.J., Army private, who spent a night in a Pennsylvania jail because he was unable to pay a fine for fishing without a license, was released Monday on a legal technicality when a state legislator intervened. The soldier, Pvt.

Albert Clair, 18, of Percy, N.H., was freed from Berks County prison after state Rep. Michael A. O'Pake D-Reading, pointed out an obscure Pennsylvania law that prohibits holding hearings on Sundays for license violations. Clair was apprehended by fish warden Ammon Ziegenfus after the soldier landed a fish at Lake Ontelaunee, near here. Clair was found guilty of fishing without a license and was ordered to pay a $25 fine and $11 in costs.

He was unable to post the fines and was imprisoned. Clair, who came to Reading on weekend leave with a fellow soldier who lives in the area, said he had heard at Ft. Dix that soldiers do- not need licenses to go fishing. Some states permit military personnel to fish without obtaining licenses. Corps of Engineers plans to go less independently.

A CEQ spokesman declined to discuss the outcome of the meeting. "We decided that any statements as to what the agencies have agreed to do in regard to our suggestions should come from the agencies themselves," the spokesman said Monday. The spokesman referred a newsman's questions to the Corps of Engineers for initial comment. "We consider them ahead with its own environmental impact statement. But it's day he does not expect CEQ to likely the Army will make some concession to CEQ by involving receive the Army's final impact statement "for two or thre the other Tocks Island agencies, months." some way, preparing its statement.

Bloodstains Ruled Valid As Evidence The Northampton County Court yesterday ruled that some bloodstained clothing could be used as evidence against Everett Guillory, a Lehigh University student charged with robbery and assault. But the court found that several identifications of Guillory by the robbery victim could not be introduced as evidence when the 19-year-old Eunice, youth goes on trial. Guillory is free on nominal bail. He is accused of helping rob David Hirchak, a Bethlehem Steel Corp. employe, at knifepoint Nov.

25. The opinion, signed by President Judge Clinton Budd Palmer, noted that Guillory was arrested about midnight Nov. 26 and was charged with unlawful assembly. He was picked up after a disturbance at the Alehouse Tavern in Bethlehem. A detective questioning him heard of the Hirchak robbery and noticed bloodstains on Guillory's clothing, the opinion went on.

He asked Guillory to let him have the clothing for examination. Guillory contended in seeking to suppress the results of the examination that he didn't know he was a suspect in a robbery when he surrendered the clothing. But the court held that he consented to turn it over to the detective "freely and voluntarily." However, the court said that Guillory by then a "definite suspect" in the robbery should have been represented by counsel when Hirchak was asked to identify him. the 'lead' agency," he said.

Memorial Day weekend should find four lanes open for traffic on the Lehigh Valley Thruway at the Jordan Creek bridge. Repairs are being made to the bridge and road surface there, and traffic movement has been restricted to two lanes for several weeks.

This was the major portion of the work. Phase III calls for repairs to the expansion dam on the westbound lane and construction of relief joints. The PennDOT district office reports there is a good chance this will be completed this week.

It will require closing the westbound lane to traffic. The different phases of work have resulted in traffic movement being cut to two lanes, in various combinations, ever since the project got under way in mid-April. The schedule calls for the job to be done by July 1, but it will probably be completed well ahead of this. The narrowing of traffic movement to two lanes has resulted in some jams in Thru-way traffic at certain times of the day. It was for this reason PennDOT pressed toward having the four lanes available for use over Memorial Day.

Either median guard fence or drums will be placed at the gap in the Thruway's median barrier, when the four lanes are opened for the holiday weekend.
