(AP) The City Council in this tiny central Illinois community took a Springfield firm to court today to prevent disposal of chemically contaminated soil in their neighborhood. In an emergency meeting Sunday, the council voted to hire an attorney and seek an injunction today in Macoupin County Circuit Court against Earthline a firm that manages the local waste disposal operation. The pastor of the local Roman Catholic mission parish, the Rev. Casimir Gierut, said he and some 400 area residents had planned to blockage the landfill as trucks carrying drums loaded with PCB-contaminated soil arrived today.

PCB8, or polychiorinated biphenyls, are believed by many scientists to be harmful to humans, and the federal government has forbidden their use in manufacturing By CHARLES ROBERTS after June 1., 1979. Authorities said a waste oil disposal firm dumped PCBladen oil in an open pit south of St. Louis. Because the oil had not been dumped in an approved site, the contaminated soil there was being taken to Wilsonville to a licensed disposal point. During masses Sunday, though, Father Gierut sought and received support from local residents, who planned to blockade a road to the landfill with cars, trucks and farm machinery as the trucks arrived this morning.

Father Gierut said Sunday night in an Associated Press interview, however, that "In view of the progress made by the town officials, I believe It is more prudent to avert rt the He said it was better to seek help in the courts "and avoid any possible vollence in the streets." By dawn today, some 25 persons and the priest were at the landfill site, along with a Macoupin County sheriffs Drive Invaders Back In Zaire By MATT FRANJOLA Associated Press Writer KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) President Mobutu Sese Seko's troops have driven the invaders in southern Zaire back 15 miles and checked their advance on Kolwezi, the copper-mining center, the government news agency AZAP says. The government report said Zairean troops launched a counter-offensive Saturday night and captured arms, medical supplies and one wounded prisoner. There was no confirmation of the government's claim. It was not known whether any of the 1,500 Moroccan troops supporting the government were involved in the fighting, but reporters returning from the area said 400 of the North African Arabs had been sent to the village of Kanzenze, 25 miles northwest of Kolwezi, where Zairean troops were confronting the 4 rebels. AZAP said the government forces recovered some of the weapons they lost when an estimated 2,000 Katangan exiles from neighboring Angola crossed the border on March 8 and overran a third of Shaba province.

Shaba was Katanga province when Zaire Congo, and the invaders are led by veterans of the late Moise Tshombe's unsuccessful attempt to separate the province and its mineral wealth from the rest of the country in the early 1960s. Members of the Lunda tribe, the principal tribe. in the region, are believed to have joined the invaders. The French government announced that the 11 French cargo planes that had ferrying supplies to the Moroccans in Shaba had finished their work and returned home. In New York, the Long Island newspaper Newsday reported that the CIA was secretly supporting efforts by David Bufkin of Kerman, to recruit several hundred mercenaries in the United States and Britain to fight for Mobutu.

But diplomatic sources in Kinshasa said it would be "political death" for Mobutu to bring white mercenaries into the conflict. High Low Pr.

VERNON, ILUNOIS SERVING MT. VERNON AREA SINCE 1922 Rabin Takes Leave After Wife Is Fined JERUSALEM (AP) A district judge fined Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's wife $26,852 for keeping $21,101 in two illegal Washington bank accounts, and Rabin announced he would take an extended leave absence starting Friday. Rabin, who was fined $1,611 last week because he was a coholder of the accounts, said he would turn the government over to Defense Minister Shimon Peres. Peres succeeded Rabin as leader of the Labor party after Rabin's attempt to cover up the size of the account failed. Rabin accompanied his wife, Leah, to the Tel Aviv district court for her trial Sunday but kissed her and left before the hearing started.

"I am guilty," the 49-yearold woman told Judge Dov Levine in answer to the charges of violating Israeli currency laws. The Rabins opened the accounts while he was ambassador to the United States and apparently maintained them after they returned to Israel in 1973 so she could continue to buy clothes and the like in America. Israeli law required that the accounts be closed and the money transferred to Israel within six months. By ARTHUR MAX Associated Press Writer Mrs. Rabin's attorney, Shimon Alexandroni, told the court: "She is very sorry about her negligence and mistake." don't have anything to add," Mrs.

Rabin told the court after the brief presentations the prosecution and the defense. The maximum penalty was three years in jail and a fine of $63,000, but Judge Levine said he was letting Mrs. Rabin off with a fine because of her guilty plea and her "dizzying He rejected the possibility that she did not know the accounts were Illegal and said the prime minister's wife should set an example for the country. Although Rabin resigned as leader of the Labor party, Attorney, ruled that General he could Aharon not resign as prime minister because he heads a caretaker cabinet until a new government is formed after the election May 17. But other members of the cabinet insisted that he remove himself from public view by taking an extended leave of absence so that his presence would not remind the voters constantly of the scandal.

However, Rabin will remain prime minister in name during his leave and retains the formal responsibility for the functioning of the government.
