ATLANTIC CITY (AP) A dealer at Marine hurt in Lebanon Defense Minister Ariel Sharon and Maj.

Gen. Amir Dro-ry, the only other witnesses so far to testify in public, had said the militia entered the camps at 6 p.m. Thursday Sept. 16. Dr.

Ang, Gaza Hospital's chief orthopedic surgeon who is a native of Malaysia and a British citizen, told the commission that she received her first gunshot patient at 10 a.m. that morning. All three witnessses, appearing separately, testified that by late afternoon "a stream of wounded" was arriving at the hospital. Dr. Morris said that by late afternoon he identified "pinpoint-sized shrapnel wounds," possibly from hand grenades that appeared to indicate close-quarter fighting.

Dr. Ang said the wounded people were telling stories on Sept. 16 of gunmen breaking into homes and slaughtering whole families. Dr. Morris said he heard such reports only on Sept.

17. JERUSALEM (AP) The Beirut massacre may have started earlier than previously believed, according to testimony given today to the Israeli commission investigating the slaughter. Two British doctors and an American nurse told the commission they began treating wounded on the morning of Sept. 16, eight hours before the time when Israel says the Christian militiamen entered the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps on an anti-guerrilla sweep. Dr.

Paul Morris, Dr. Suee Chai Ang, and nurse Ellen Segal were the first foreign witnesses called by the commission in two weeks of hearings. They were from the Gaza Hospital in the Sabra refugee camp. They testified that they had not witnessed any killing and could not point to any solid evidence that Israeli soldiers were involved in the two-day rampage in the camps. But they gave accounts that indicated some measure of Israeli control over the militiamen.

Jones was in "quite satisfactory" condition at the medical center, said a nursing supervisor who declined to be identified. She said she was not authorized to release Jones' age or hometown. Pellegrino said that other details of the robbery try and the pair's escape were not immediately available, but that his department, state police, and the state Division of Gaming Enforcement were investigating. The security officer at the Tropicana said any additional information would have to come from casino officials who were not available. "We have our top people on the floor right now, and they're pretty busy," he said.

the-Tropicana casino hotel was wounded slightly late last night when he thwarted a holdup by two masked bandits brandishing handguns, police said. The two armed men fled after the p.m. shooting without getting any money from the posh Boardwalk casino's cage area, said Atlantic City Police Capt, William Pellegrino. "A dealer was on a break on a stairwell nearby when he saw the suspects and attempted to halt the robbery," Pellegrino said. "He was shot in the upper right arm and taken to Atlantic County Medical Center." A Tropicana security officer identified the dealer as Philip Jones, but said he could provide no other information Specialty wood firm burns in Somerville BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) A car bomb exploded today about 30 yards from a U.S.

Marine encampment at Beirut's Ouzai Beach. A Marine was "superficially" wounded on the hand by a piece of shrapnel and two Lebanese civilians were injured, said Marine Capt. Stuart Wagner. A Lebanese army officer at the scene, who would not give his name, said one Lebanese was killed. Lebanon's state radio reported a second explosion shortly after the first, this one at a nearby Lebanese army beach club.

The blast set three cars afire, but caused no injuries, the radio said, Wagner said one of the Lebanese wounded near the Marine camp was seriously hurt and was taken to Ameri can University Hospital in Beirut, while the other was hurt only slightly in the blast. Wagner did not name the wounded Marine. Lance Cpl. Jack MacDonald, on duty about 75 yards from the explosion, described the blast as "a bright flash, black smoke and pieces of metal flying everywhere. It scared the hell out of me.

I hit the deck." Witnesses said the explosives-laden car blew up about 30 yards from a cluster of tents where an American flag fluttered under the clear blue Mediterranean sky. Edmond Shedid, a Lebanese news photographer at the scene, said Lebanese army units rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area, near the airport about six miles from downtown Beirut on the southern edge of the capital. Shedid said he saw the smoldering wreckage of the devastated car but could see no ambulances or medical -teams about five minutes after the blast occurred near Beirut airport. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombing. A dozen vessels of the Sixth Fleet lay off the beach area where the before the fire was reported.

"It just flared up within 15 or 20 minutes after the officer left the scene," Brown said. The fire heavily damaged the roof and roof supports of a large shed the firm which fabricates specialty wood products such as moldings uses as a loading dock, Brown said. Brown said fire was already through the roof when the firefighters arrived. "Our main objective was to try to stop it from spreading," Brown said. The approximately shed stands between two other building, one of which is new and has not yet been occupied by the firm.

Firefighters from Somerville, Fin-derne, Raritan and Bound Brook fire companies used about a dozen pieces of apparatus to control the blaze while Manville units provided backup, Brown said. By NEIL REISNER Home News staff writer SOMERVILLE It took more than 100 firefighters four hours late Saturday and early yesterday to put out a fire that damaged Somerville Wood Products on Fifth Street. The fire was reported at about 11:15 p.m. and firefighters did not leave the scene until about 4 a.m., according to Chief William Brown of the Somerville Fire Department. No injuries were re-, ported.

The cause of the fire is undetermined and being investigated by the Somerset County Arson Task Force and Sorrier-ville Police, Brown said.

Israeli jets, apparently on a reconnaissance mission, roared over Beirut as the blast was heard. The explosion occurred close to the spot where a fresh contingent of Marines landed Saturday to replace the Americans who returned to Beirut in September after a massacre by Christian militiamen at two Palestinian refugee camps.

The Marines, initially sent to Beirut to oversee the late summer evacuation of Palestinian guerrillas from the Lebanese capital, are members of a 4.000-man multinational peacekeeping force including troops from Italy and France. Earlier, Israel threatened to prolong its stay in Lebanon because pf cease fire violations by Syrian forces such as the weekend missile attack on Israeli reconnaissance planet ever eastern Lebanon. Lebanese President Amin Gemayel left for a trip to Morocco today amid reports he would try to get Moroccan troops to augment the foreign forces already deployed in Beirut. at a private ceremony afterward. The fair pumped millions of tourist and investment dollars into Knoxville and helped keep the area's unemployment rate at about 7 percent, well below the state and national averages.

However, the fair's closing means the end to paychecks for 6,750 fair employees, and the state is braced for an increase in applications for unemployment benefits. Among the fair's legacies to the city are three large hotels and a $220 million interstate highway renovation. The fairgrounds developed on a 72-acre railroad yard and industrial slum separating downtown Knoxville from the University of Tennessee campus. Now the site is slated to become a $100 million development ot businesses, restaurants and condor miniums. But the city still must pay off bonds for its new convention center, built as the fair's corporate exhibit hall.

And officials are looking for buyers of several fair structures, including the $13 million wedge-shaped U.S. Pavilion. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Organizers shut the gates and turned off the lights at the 1982 World's Fair, but not before praising the six-month exposition as a financial success that will leave this "scruffy little city" richer for years to come. "I won't cry," an elderly man told his wife as they watched a fireworks display signal the end of the fair yesterday, "but I certainly hate to see it leave." Thousands of tourists and dignitaries gathered in the outdoor Court of Flags to officially close the $115 million extravaganza that drew 22 nations and millions of people to this southern Appalachian city of 183,000.

Many people laughed in 1975 when several civic leaders said they wanted to put on a world's fair in Knoxville to boost the local economy and clean up a run-down section of downtown. But yesterday, gate turnstiles clicked nearly 86.000 times, oringing total attendance to 11,127,786. Officials said that amounted to about 10.3 mil lion paid admissions by 6 million to 8 million people. The attendance exceeded the million visits originally predicted and World's Fa'- President S.H. "Bo" Roberts Jr.

has said the fair will make enough money to pay all its bills something few world's fairs have done. During the next two weeks, workmen will begin dismantling temporary buildings, and equipment and leftover souvenirs will be auctioned. Officials hope most of the fair's assets will be bought by organizers of the J984 World's Fair in New 'Orleans, "We have seen the 1982 World's Fair serve as a catalyst to build a strong economy for our community," Mayor Randy Tyree, the Democratic nominee for governor, told the amphitheater crowd- "And we have been able te, say, 'Don't ever doubt us "You've made us proud making a scruffy little city here in East Tennessee known all over the world," state Tourism Commissioner Etherage Parker told about 1,500 guests who toasted the fair with 400 bottles of champagne boy Services will be 8 45 a Wednesday from the Flynn and Son Funeral Home, 424 East Perth Amboy. followed by a 915 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial at Holy Trinity R.C.
