'ms Storyland Pre-School director Claudia Leithe and Christian Life School Principal Gerry Presley are looking for a new home. i i 'inn pif! I 'lit kAKnS 0 Ii Pastor Fred Muster Christian Life Center a long list of services and programs: a 67-member choir, special fellowship groups for men and women, free counseling, a monthly neighborhood fellowship program, youth clubs and organized sports, interpreters for deaf members of the congregation, special Sunday school clases for mentally handicapped youngsters. It also continues to support up to 50 missionaries and families.

And the church is bringing in money, about $50,000 a month not including school income. It's not enough, however, to pay operating expenses and the $5.8 million debt it owes the 1,200 investors in the bankrupt trust fund. How the debt will be paid was decided last month by a vote of the investors and ordered by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Conley S. Brown: Sell the church building and the 39 acres it sits on, a prune orchard, private residence and apartment building.

Also mysterious spoke-like effects, or spaces, were found to exist for up to three hours after the rings emerge from behind the planet, despite the fact that particles in the rings move at different speeds, and the dark spaces should be quickly filled by that motion. night proram. Director Jerry Chil-son said the church plans to expand and begin day classes once enrollment grows. Meanwhile, after withdrawing from the community following the onset of the financial problems, the church is making a comeback. The Singing Christmas Tree, the church's annual Christmas program that drew thousands to the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building, was discontinued in 1978.

This year, the church plans to begin a new program and hopes to include professional musicians from outside the church for the community-wide event. And it is attempting to drum up public support for putting its nonprofit FM radio station on the air. The station was fully equipped and licensed shortly after the trust fund was ordered closed and has had to await resolution of the bankruptcy case. The church continues to provide Hostages "If Ghotbzadeh and Eslami are arrestable, then so should two- thirds of the Iranian people under the same charges," the newspaper said. The case of Ghotbzadeh, who was accused of making "provocative" remarks that sowed dissension and damaged Iran's war effort, was discussed during Sunday's session of Iran's parliament.

Two members of the Majlis, or parliament, called the appointment of new heads for the radio and television networks by the public prosecutor, replacing those fired after Ghotbzadeh's speech, was interference by the courts. One legislator also asked why "the former Iranian ambassador to Scandinavia, Amir Entezam, had been under arrest for more than one year without his case being investigated," Pars said. In the interview, Ghotbzadeh, a former head of Iranian television, said the confusion surrounding the release of the hostages was a result of his country's prolonged experiment with radicalism. "If we were to prevent (radicalism), however, we would have needed to set up a tremendous dictatorship," Ghotbzadeh said. Ghotbzadeh, who has made repeated calls for release of the hostage and has criticized hard-line Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Ra-jai, was dismissed by Rajai in August.

State Department spokesman John Trattner said Friday the United States was "at the point of decision" on its response to Iran's conditions for freeing the hostages. moving at the orbital speed of the ring. "We don't know what they are or how they were formed, nor. how they survive," he said. "They must represent an actual clumping of particles or a dispersion of even larger particles." It is not the first puzzle to evolve from the ring investigation.

It was originally thought that the outer ring particles were strongly influenced by the gravitational resonance of the moon Mimas, which orbits outside the rings. But a 15th satellite was found deep within the rings that may have an equal or even greater influence and it has Voyager cameras, using ultraviolet, also have detected 300 to 500-mile-wide "ringlets" in the Cas-sini Division, the area between the A and rings once thought to be dark space. "It's hard to tell where the Cassi-ni Division ends and begins," Smith said. There is a moderately dark ringlet, he said, going immediately to a brighter one with no division in between. Another picture of the distant F-ring, barely visible in earlier pictures from the spacecraft, shows a bright ring streaking around the outer regions of the larger rings.

"We have found that the F-ring is not uniform," Smith said. It contains several "clumps" that are cut package, and then go ahead and pass the Reagan plan far the second and third years," Meese said at one point. He also said that Reagan this week will receive and begin studying the first report from his group of economic advisers on a domestic agenda for the new administration. Reagan arrived here by military helicopter Sunday afternoon from his Pacific Palisades home to spend a week in relative isolation at his Rancho del Ceilo spread atop the Santa Ynez mountains 30 miles from Goleta. Reagan made one brief public appearance before his trip to the ranch, talking for a few momentr with reporters after attending church services at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church near his home.

"The top priority right now is the transition to set up our administration and be able to hit the ground running," Reagan said. It is in the unassuming ranch house near Refugio Canyon that Reagan will meet with his closest aides in the next few days to begin making decisions on naming his Cabinet and on wnat his first executive orders will be. The first targets of these executive orders, Meese said, will be to wipe out some of the red tape that Reagan believes has been so discouraging to U.S. industry and business. Reagan plans to fly to Washington on a military plane on Nov.

27 for a meeting with President Carter and to take charge of the transition team that is already at work. PASADENA (UPI) Voyager 1 was less than 2 million miles from Saturn today, transmitting what Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists hope will be more detailed pictures of its cloud tops and frozen moons as well as its eerie scream. The space probe, 947.9 million miles from Earth, sped toward its close encounter with the pale yellow planet at 35,652 mph relative to Saturn. Investigators are waiting to see more closely the planet's cloud tops and its frozen moons, and to hear what has been called the "Saturn effect" an eerie scream of charged electronic particles streaming away from the planet. The sound, which varies from planet to planet, is produced when solar winds strike a planet's netic field.

Dr. Fred Scarf of the Plasma Wave Experiment said Sunday that scientists expect to hear a "chorus," a mix of sounds like chirping birds, from Saturn. Jupiter produced a ghostly echoing sound for Voyager a year and a half ago. Imaging team leader Dr. Bradford Smith of the University of Arizona said Voyager also has disclosed several cloud-top features on Saturn that are "exactly opposite" of those on Jupiter.

Winds at the edge of the color bands around Jupiter travel at high speed, while the centers of the bands are relatively calm. But on Saturn, he said, the band centers move much faster than the winds at the edges. microwave problems snarl communications Storm follows 'crazy' pattern MIAMI (UPI) Tropical Storm Jeanne, following the pattern of "crazy" November storms, swept west of Cuba and today drifted aimlessly in the Yucatan Channel, its future course uncertain. "The storm's motion remains slow and erratic, but is primarily toward the north-northwest," the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in its. latest advisory.

Little change in motion is expected Monday." An Air Force hurricane hunter plane watching the storm located its center early today near latitude 22 north and longitude 86 west, or just about midway between Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It was 300 miles southwest of Key West, Fla. The highest sustained winds in the season's ninth tropical storm were clocked at 55 mph. Gale force winds extended 100 miles north and 50 miles south of the storm's center. Meyer said the problem, which occurred between 11 p.m.

EST Sunday and 3 a.m. today, probably was caused by "sudden severe changes in atmospheric conditions such as air pressure, temperature or water content of the air." Meyer was unable to pinpoint a specific reason for the difficulty. He said the fading problem is generally encountered in the summer rather than in the fall. He said communications controlled by computer data systems were particularly sensitive to atmospheric changes. NEW YORK (UPI) The American Telegraph and Telephone Co.

said today long-line microwave transmission problems Sunday night and early today created communication difficulties over a large part of the country. spokesman Richard Meyer said the fading microwave signals affected the nation primarily in the South and West but also were experienced in the East and Midwest. Among circuits affected were United Press International's news wires between Dallas, New York and London..
