Coupe Sails Chinese Junk On FORT LAUDERDALE UP) A Massachusetts couple who sailed from Hong Kong aboard a Chinese junk 18 months ago told on Friday of a voyage that included an escape from river pirates, 50-foot seas and near-death in the Amazon delta.

"We think it was the longest trip ever made by a Junk, and we're pretty sure it was the first time a junk ever sailed around the Cape of Good Hope," said Jack Roberts, who once ran his own electronics company in Malibu, Calif. "We crossed the China Sea and the Java Sea as far as Bali, touched islands in the Indian Ocean went around the Cape of Good Hope, crossed the Atlantic, went up the Amazon River and crossed the Caribbean." ROBERTS, 44, of Springfield and his wife, Maureen, 38, made the trip alone in their 83-foot, 100-ton teakwood vessel which was equipped with a 40-kilometer radar scanner, computer controlled steering and fishing rods with electric alarms. The piracy episode occurred near the free port of Labuan off the coast of Borneo, Roberts said. He said the couple had been warned of pirates riding huge dugout canoes with outboard engines and armed with machine guns, picked up as American surplus after World War II. ROBERTS SAID the radar, on his junk Intrepid Dragon II picked up the pirates and watched them start to follow.

He said the junk managed to hide behind a small island, "But I was ready for them with a machine gun." i The 50-foot seas were encountered near the Cape of Good Hope, he said. "They were spaced out so we could get between them, whereas a tanker would have been broken in half." Their worst experience came, he said, when they started to leave the Amazon and ran into "a terrible, gale. There were huge seas rolling in from the Atlantic against the river's 5-knot current. We almost lost the boat, and it took us about three days to cover what is usually a five-hour trip." feffL-vt) lid (UPI) Subject: Cost Of Living MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Area police chiefs, in a major revision of security strategy, decided Friday to double the number of officers at the upcoming political conventions and organize them into "mobile strike forces." The change in security strategy came just 11 days before the opening of the Democratic national convention and was seen as a move to virtually eliminate the possibility that federal troops or national guardsmen would be needed in the event of civil disturbances. Under the revised plan, Miami Beach Police Chief Rocky Pomer-ance the convention security boss would have an estimated 2,000 state and local lawmen under his command, plus a contingent of 3,000 National Guardsmen and an unknown number of federal troops.

THE NEW plan calls for the creation of five mobile strike forces of 50 to 100 men to be strategically located in and around Miami Beach, available to react quickly and in force to any civil disorder at the conventions or other areas of the city. The new security game plan was drawn just hours before a civil defense expert from Washington completed an exhaustive intelligence survey and predicted there would only be 6,000 protesters at the Democratic convention. The new plan was seen as a move-to spare Florida Gov. Reubin Askew the embarrassment of having to mobilize the National Guard and President Nixon of having to activate federal troops in the event of serious civil disorders during the conventions. THE 3,000 National Guardsmen committed to convention duty will be billeted in area high schools.

The federal troops will be bivouaced 30 miles away at Homestead Air Force Base in tent city that was completed Friday. Although the defense department has made no official announcement, about 4,500 troops from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division are expected to be flown to Homestead during the conventions.

Daley of Chicago and 58 other members of his Cook County delegation came before the Credentials Committee. WASHINGTON Striking back after the stunning loss of 151 California delegates, supporters of Sen. George S.

The measure was sent back to the House where chances for acceptance of the Social (Security provision appeared to have improved.

IF THE House voted to accept the Senate provision, that would the bill to President Nixon. However, it was uncertain whether the House vote could come late Friday, Saturday or next week. The 20 per cent across-the-board increase in Social Security benefits the biggest such boost in history was adopted by a vote of 82 to 4. THE AMENDMENT, sponsored by Sen. Frank also would raise payroll taxes in 1973 and further in 1974 to 'pay for the boost.

Alan Cranston, introduced a bill today to give newsmen the right to refuse to disclose confidential sources of info'rption to Congress "We will trim it where we feel we can best stand it," Colombus said.

COLMAN SAID last week he was prepared to delete some items and delay others. Commissioners postponed until Wednesday further budget sessions after receiving Tax Assessor Ford Hausman's estimate that tax rolls will be $2,338 billion 2.7 per cent less than the figure on which commissioners had been projecting spending for fiscal year 1972-3. The total means $500,000 less revenue than commissioners anticipated. Although Colman was told when he presented his budget he would have to cut, commissioners held off action while they whittled away at other department and officials budgets. PICKETT SAID the county probably will use short term revenue bonds to pay for construction next year instead of dipping into the general fund.

One item probably around $300,000 is a facility near the county prison farm for the sheriff to use as a sub station and shift change headquarters. Colman said he would have to delay some additional personnel until the station is built and this would be one budget item to be cut.
