Jim Preston Fred Welder of the Miami Beach Police Department at 673-7945 Bra-gale's or His story is a sad one, and Vincent Braga le would be glad to accompany it with "Hearts and Flowers" on his violin, but very late the night of June 21, someone stole it while he slept in a porch chair at the Cardozo Hotel. li Since the Art Deco showcase 4'': 91, 405, 1 Cafe Cardozo opened early last month at Ocean Drive and 13th 0,, Street in Miami Beach, the elderly, bespectacled musician has been a frequent visitor.

Dressed in a three- 4, piece suit, with a clean white hand- i. kerchief folded neatly in his breast A ,.4., pocket, he would serenade diners on his violin, a copy of an Amati. An Amati violin is an Italian Renaissance instrument similar to those made by Stradivari. The night of June 21, he decided to sit on the porch after the cafe had closed at midnight. "While getting the breeze from the ocean, I had i light sleep," says Bragale, "and when I woke up, 1 didn't see my fiddle on the chair next to me anymore." Felicia Phillips, the manager of Cafe Cardozo, said she found Bragale in a porch chair, his violin lying in the next one, as she was leaving at 12:30 a.m.

that Monday morning. "I told him, 'You ought to go home now, it's bedtime. Don't fall asleep out Phillips said sadly. According to Phillips, hotel manager Ted Hankoff has offered to replace the instrument with another similar to it, but Braga le refuses, saying he wants his own back. He has had it since he was 14.

Braga le will not reveal his age, but says he left his native Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 1928 at 16 for New York to begin his career as a musician. He began playing pro fessionally in Greenwich Village in 1931, and put together his own band, which he says eventually wns signed up by Music Corporation of America. Bragale has seen busier times in Miami Beach. He led his eight-man orchestra 11 seasons at the now-defunct Hollywood Beach Hotel during the '50s, according to Jimmy Hayes, vice president of local 655 Federation of Musicians, of which Bragale is a member. "He was a big-time leader," said Hayes.

"That was the class job here for years." Miami Beach police detectives are checking some leads and area pawn shops for the instrument. 1 :4 :.160,, 4.11,. .1,....1.,.. 1:,,,,,. 4' )-1.

Susan and Dee got sick and decided to take a commercial flight back to Miami.

That's how they missed all the excitement. Buchbinder didn't know why his plane was losing power. All he knew was that landing a disabled air. plane at sea is not easy, or safe. The plane can stall; the plane can tumble.

Even on a perfect landing, the impact can be fatal. "But worrying about what might happen only makes it harder to function," says Buchbinder. "I Was concerned only about doing it right." Fortunately for Buchbinder and his passengers, he landed perfectly about a half mile from shore. Even with the relatively smooth landing, Buchbinder was thrown forward with enough force to put a gash on his leg that required 12 stitches to close. Leader and Hampson were barely shaken up.

They all got away in a life raft with their luggage. At first, the plane settled into the water. Then the nose dipped. Within about five minutes, the plane sank out of sight. The three men watched it disappear from the deck of a fishing boat that had pulled them aboard.

Back in St. Thomas, Buchbinder and Leader found their wives still waiting to catch a flight back to Miami. Sunday afternoon, the entire party let an Eastein pilot do the flying. Harris Buchbinder was 1,200 feet above the Caribbean, about four miles from the Virgin Islands capital of St. Thomas, when the engine the only engine on his Beechcraft Bonanza began losing power.

"You know something, I wasn't worried," says the 40-year-old Buchbinder. "That's the truth. I guess I was too busy." Buchbinder radioed the tower at St. Thomas and told them to clear ,208.40 the runway. Then he realized the airport was too far away.

He prepared to ditch at sea. In the seat next to him sat Buchbinder George Leader, a friend and fellow Miami attorney. Behind them was Barry Hampson, an engineer from Massachusetts who was hitching a ride back to Miami. "Hampson was white as a sheet," recalls Buchbinder. Buchbinder, Leader, and their wives Susan and Dee, had taken off from Miami last Thursday morning for a business-cum-island hopping trip.

Just before they reached St. Thomas, the plane en New-and-improved Village People The Village People, a rock band that has made a name for itself with far-out costumes and music, demonstrates its current "new look" at New York's Underground club.

New-a Son of Superman Although millions of kids will flock to see Christopher Reeve in "Superman II" this summer, one who won't be allowed to attend is his 18-month-old son, Matthew. "I'd be appalled if anyone called him Superboy," Reeve, 28, said in an interview published in the current issue of People magazine. He denies the Man of Steel's affair with Lois Lane is the reason for keeping his son away. "It's about romance," Reeve said. "We made that picture so teenagers just discovering love would find that relationship beautiful."

Gale warnings posted at midnight for Virginia Beach, north to Ocean City, were discontinued at 3 a.m., according to the National Weather Service, as maximum winds dwindled to 35 mph.

The finding of the Carnegie Panel on U.S. Security and the Future of Arms Control, released today, implies that the Soviets are not militarily invulnerable.

However, the study of the 26-member panel, established by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, did contain a warning that current trends in military spending and practices could place the West at a disadvantage should a conflict come in the next few years.
