NRC Action Indirectly Aids Bailly Building ii LONDON (AP) The Irish Republican Army vowed "many more deaths of both British and Irish people" will follow the assassination of Earl Mountbatten if Britain continues its rule in Northern Ireland, the war-torn province where some 2,000 already have died in a decade of violence. The Irish Republican Publicity Bureau, propaganda section of the IRA's Sinn Fein political wing, issued the ultimatum Thursday in a statement delivered to the British Press Association. "An address to the British people," the warning began. "Now that you have buried your dead and the understandable emotional responses which followed the events of last week have begun to subside, we sincerely hope that you can now begin to understand the immense problems your government's presence has createdlin our country.

"We sincerely believe that you, the British people, must now honestly and logically begin to re-examine the role of your government In Ireland, and realize that a continuation of the occupation of a part of Ireland is a sure recipe for further heartbreak and suffering. "You, the British people, must understand that while Britain continues to interfere in the Internal affairs of the Irish nation, there will be many more deaths of both British and Irish people."

More Turn To Seers TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) People have an abiding confidence in the abilities Ol science, but they're not yet willing to give up on seers and prophets for earthquake predictions, says a UCLA sociologist. "There is a great degree of faith In science, but the public is not going to put all its eggs in one basket," said Ralph Turner, a leading expert on public attitudes toward earthquakes.

"The public Is still going to look to seers and other sources as well as to science" for advanced warning of quakes. Turner outlined Thursday the results of a Los Angeles County opinion survey and follow-up interviews. He spoke at a United States-Mexico symposium on earthquake research. The three-day session was being held at the Regional Technological Institute of Tijuana. showed administrative costs increased just over 6 percent, while the poor relief caseload increased by over 8 percent.

Allen said the number of employees is determined by the caseload of the office. He said for every 120 families requiring poor relief, there should be one Investigator and for every 90 families, there should be a clerk. Allen said he should have 300 employees by those standards, but he only has 160. Galambos said it was unfortunate the people of Calumet Township should have to bear the tax burden of supporting such a large number of poor people. He gave Rep.

Rayfleld Fisher, D-Gary, a copy of a resolution passed in November by the council that dealt with the unfairness of the situation. Fisher said he'd try to find a way to solve the problems of Calumet Township without hurting the home rule concept. Council President Rudolph Clay gave Fisher a copy of a resolution passed Wednesday by the Calumet Township Advisory Board, which asks for state funding for indigent families. The council set a limit of 7.5 percent for Interest on the bonds. If all bids that come in are over the 7.5 percent, the bonding'process must start over, County Attorney A.

Martin Katz said. Repayment of the bonds is to begin June 1, 1981. GOLD TAKES NOSEDIVE LONDON (AP) Gold opened sharply lower today but it started to recoup later. The dollar was lower against most key currencies. Gold opened in Zurich at $332.00 an ounce $3 down from Thursday's closing.

Earlier Thursday the price peaked at $341.75, an all-time high. In London, gold opened today at $328.00 $6.75 down from Thursday. But by mid-morntng it was pegged at $332.50 and expected to climb amid heavy buying.

UNION LEADERS in Los Angeles say negotiations have been slowed because the Southern California Rapid Transit District doesn't want to give them as much as drivers got in a capability at the beginning of 1979 was $29,272,000, Galambos said. As of August, the bonding capability was down to $14.3 million according to Sharron Cox of the Lake County auditor's office. Galambos told Allen the only spending limit he had was the county's bonding capability.

Allen said state law was at fault. "The responsibility lies with you. We can't go on passing the buck. We do live with state laws," Galambos said. Allen, asked how many employees he had, said a statistical review he had done of the office since 1972 expected to be issued Oct.

25. The NRC staff had tried last month to resume processing licenses but backed off under objections from the presidential commission. The president's panel had feared its recommendations might be ignored otherwise. "We'll look at the report and see what their recommendations are," said NRC Chairman Joseph M. Hendrie.

"I don't see any advantage In confrontation." The NRC will begin sending letters to nuclear power plant operators urging them to begin putting into effect a number of new safety recommendations. The letters will also tell the operators that "several other investigations, including the presidential commission and the NRC's special inquiry group, may lead to additional requirements," Hendrie said. Commissioner John Ahearne asked the NRC staff to analyze the effect of freezing construction of eight plants designed by Babcock Wilcox, the company that designed the Three Mile Island plant near Harrisburg, Pa. He said he wanted to take a closer look at plants because their design makes the facilities "less forgiving" of mistakes. The eight BiW plants under construction are: Bellefonte Units 1 and 2 in Alabama; Midland Units 1 and 2 in Michigan; Washington Public Power Units 3 and 5 in Washington; and North Anna Units 3 and 4 in Virginia.

DAVID HEADS FOR CANADA Associated Press Tropical Storm David today rumbled into Canada, leaving behind a swath of death and destruction across the Caribbean and along the Coast from Florida to Maine. The storm continued to lose strength as headed for Newfoundland. Thousands of homes remained without power as governors along the U.S. coast surveyed the damage left by the killer storm and prepared to ask the federal government for help rebuilding houses, businesses and wind-lashed farms. Disability Bill Moves WASHINGTON (AP) A bill to restrict benefits paid to workers entering the Social Security disability insurance program is on its way to the Senate after gaining House passage.

The House approved the bill 235-162 Thursday despite arguments that the legislation would save money at the expense of needy, handicapped people. "Are we so hard pressed that we have to turn on the handicapped In this country to achieve savings?" asked Rep. Claude Pepper, D-Fla. Pepper noted that the average recipient on disability received $320 a month. CEDAR LAKE A Chicago woman received minor injuries Thursday when her car ran through a garage wall at 9609 W.

136th Lane and struck a car inside. Pamela Woods, 21, was treated and released from St. Anthony Hospital. Police said she bounced off the house and ran through the garage, No arrests were made. Gas Shortage Threat Fades t4 WASHINGTON The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will resume irocessing nuclear power plant icenses, an action suspended after the Three Mile Island accident in March in Pennsylvania.

The NRC decided, at a meeting Thursday, to lift the freeze on processing applications for construction permits and new operating licenses. The resumption will indirectly facilitate construction of the Bailly nuclear power plant near Dunes Acres, according to Roger Robb of the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. NIPSCO is building the plant. Robb called the NRC's action "a real good sign." The construction permit freeze did not affect Bailly, since NIPSCO already has its construction permit for the plant. Construction at Bailly has been halted for two years because NIPSCO wanted to change its plans for the plant's foundation.

Lifting the freeze will help NIPSCO by normalizing NRC operations, upset by the Three Mile Island accident. The NRC's review processes were slowed by the accident, which prompted investigation and regulation beyond the NRC's normal scope. At its Thursday meeting, the NRC also decided to take over final review of new construction and operating licenses from its staff. The commissioners agreed no licenses will be issued until after the presidential commission investigating the Three Mile Island accident makes its final report. The report is Stofko Charged In Escape CROWN POINT A Griffith man was charged Thursday in Lake Criminal Court with assisting a criminal in the July 16 escape from the Lake County Jail.

John Stofko 36. of 1828 Mansard was released on $1,000 bond. He is accused of smuggling saw blades to inmate Robert Lvolga, 31. of 1626 33rd Ilobart. before Evolga escaped.

Evolga is still at large, but four other escapees were captured within two days of the breakout. Police were led to Stofko by an informant who was equipped with a hidden tape recorder during a conversation with Linda Rae Stinnett, 28, of Valparaiso. Investgatlons led police to Miss Stinnett, who told informant Vincent Goffredo of her and Stofko's activities prior to the escape, authorities said. Miss Stinnett is charged with aiding and abetting a jail escape, and was released on $1,000 bond. Police accused Miss Stinnett of smuggling saw blades to Evolga and leaving her car in a parking lot as a get-away vehicle.

See it at Armin Lipsig Jewelers today. HAMMOND The summer's gas shortage is rapidly becoming a memory. Gas supplies are plentiful: Price rises are easing slightly. The downturn in driving which traditionally follows the Labor Day weekend is expected to produce additional improvements in both the supply and price pictures. "More Cook County and northern Indiana dealers are reporting good supplies this week than at any other time since early March," Jerry Maspey, a spokesman for the Chicago Motor Club, said today.

The Motor Club's survey of gas station dealers found 96 percent of those in Indiana and 80 percent of those in Illinois describing gas supplies as "good." As a further indication of the improved situation, the Motor Club announced it is discontinuing its weekly availability survey, reverting to its former bi-weekly schedule. For the third time this year, all grades of full-service gasoline rose less than 1 cent a gallon during the last week. The average price of full-servce regular in Cook County is premium, unleaded, unleaded premium, $1,157. In northern Indinana. regular gas prices average premium, unleaded, and unleaded premium, $1,092.

A majority of northwest Indiana and Cook County dealers remain closed on Sundays, but sufficient stations remain open to meet drivers'needs. Nationally, the picture is also good.
