(AP) A strong earthquake jolted parts of eastern California and western Nevada Friday, and a second, milder tremor rumbled beneath communities south of San Francisco. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The University of California Seismograph station in Berkeley reported a 'quake near Mammoth Lake struck at 12:41 am and registered at 5.4 on the Richter scale of ground motion. A quake of that magnitude is capable of considerable damage. Seismologist Norman Abrahamson first reported the quake at 4.5, but said later his measurements were thrown off by another quake which had an epicenter near Hollister, about 150 miles to the west The Hollister quake, 100 miles south of San Francisco, struck at 1:06 a.m. and measured 3.8 on the Richter scale, Abrahamson said. The Mammoth Lakes quake was felt in at least five California counties and parts of western Nevada.

Houses and trees shook at Yoseihite National Park, according to park dispatcher Karen BalL Residents in dozens of towns in Inyo, Madera, Tuolumne, Mariposa and Mono counties reported feeling the shock, sheriffs deputies said. Dispatcher Jim Stephens of the Hollister police said alarms in his station were triggered by the quake but he had no reports of damage. Abrahamson said the two quakes were "separate occurences" but both were probably part of the system that produced a series of tremors several weeks ago. Juan Corona Innocent man freed after five years in prison, rapes he did not commit Jackson's freedom was made possible with the arrest of Dr. Edward Franklin Jackson, 38, who was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday on 94 charges, including 36 rapes.

Dr. Jackson is an internist and on the board of St. Anthony's Hospital and is not related to William. The two men bear a resemblance, which led to William Jackson's arrest The two rape victims picked William Jackson out' of a police lineup and little other evidence was COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) A man unjustly imprisoned for five years says he is not bitter but may file suit because he was convicted of rapes authorities now suspect were committed by a doctor who looks like him. William Bernard Jackson, 30, says he would like to win a suit for false imprisonment to get enough money to start a new life.

The seven-man, five-woman Jury deliberated 10 days in the retrial, which cost California taxpayers more than $5 million and sparked charges of needless McDonald's has a beef with ads MIAMI (AP) The biggest whoppers from Burger King are in television ads planned by the fast-food chain, claim executives of rival McDonald's, who are doing a slow burn over criU- -cism of their cooking method. McDonald's Corp. filed suit here Thursday seeking an in- junction to stop Burger King from broadcasting what it called "false and misleading" commercials starting Monday. The ads cite a customer survey that concludes people prefer the taste of Burger King hamburgers to those of McDonald's or Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers. The controversy centers around the ads' contention that "consumers prefer the taste of flame-broiled hamburgers over the fried hamburger served at McDonald's." McDonald's didn't say in its suit exactly how its burgers are cooked, but the manager of a local outlet insisted they are grilled, not fried.

The ads, created by the J. Walter Thompson U.S.A. agency in New York, cite a taste test of Burger King's Whoppers and McDonald's Big Macs. McDonald's, however, countered that Whoppers are actually of ten steamed. "The representation that Burger King's hamburger sandwiches are broiled while McDonald's are fried are false and misleading because Burger King burgers are often steamed and then reheated or warmed in microwave ovens before sales to consumers," the suit said.

McDonald's wants Burger King enjoined from broadcasting or disseminating any materials "which falsely describe the products in comparison with McDonald's." The suit asked for unspecified punitive damages, court costs and attorneys' fees, as well as "corrective advertising to dispel the continuing and lingering effects-on the public" if the commercials create the impression that McDonald's fries its burgers. Ethics panel asks bigger budget WASHINGTON (UPI) -When the House ethics committee drew up its budget for the year the panel hoped all House members would be on their good behavior and not do anything requiring costly investigations. Things did not work out that way, however, and the committee had to ask the House Thursday to double the budget adding $200,000, to pay for the investigation of alleged sexual misconduct and drug use by Congress members. Speaking for the House Administration Committee, Rep. Frank Annunzio, noted that in its original budget for 1982 the ethics committee had asked for only 55 percent of what it got in the hopes of a good year with no problems." The request was approved on a voice vote.
