Dr. Mead lives in Los Angeles and is a specialist in algae. She wants to find out "which fish eats what and why." Other team members are: DR. RENATE Schlenz True, 33, of Tulane University in New Orleans.

She will study the ecology of sea grasses. Ann Hurley Hartline, L3, a graduate student in marine ecology at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego; Calif. She will study the escape responses of fish to visual stimuli. Alina Szmant, 23, of Scripps who will work with Hartline. Margaret Ann Lucas, 23, an electrical engineer at the University of Delaware.

She will run the habitat and act as a spare diver. The habitat, two 18-foot-high steel cylinders 12V2 feet in diameter, serves as a laboratory and living quarters. The aquanauts are monitored 24 hours a day in case of emergency. Behaviors.1 scientists also ST. JOHN, Virgin Islands Five shapely women aquanauts wearing red skindiving suits splashed into water clear as glass Monday to begin two weeks of living and working under the sea.

"We're home," shouted Dr. Sylvia Earle Mead, the 34-year-old team leader, after they entered the habitat, a capsule 50 feet below the surface. THE "SPLASHDOWN" went off at exactly 10 a.m., but it took the five scientists 11 minutes to swim to the bulbous white habitat because underwater photographers kept posing them for pictures. The five will conduct scientific programs along the coral reefs, ranging as far as 1,500 feet from their living quarters. They are taking part in Tektite II, a seven-month program of underwater research, with 16 all-male teams of aquanauts.

The program began in April and is being conducted by the Department of the Interior, other government agencies, monitor them to determine how semi-isolation in confined quarters will affect them. DR. MEAD said she and the other women will perform all the tasks their male counterparts do, including wrestling with heavy canisters of baralyme needed to keep the nitrogen-oxygen mixture in the habitat constant. "We'll double up if we have to," she said. "We're not going into the water just because we're women.

We do everything the men do. Our research proposals were considered on the same basis with those of the men. It's just more convenient for the women to go together. There is talk of joint men-women teams which I think is a good idea." When the women end their two-weeks under water, they will enter a decompression chamber on a barge and stay for 19 hours. THEY WILL make one concession to femininity before ending their mission: "We will comb our hair and try to make ourselves as presentable as possible," said Dr.

The request for more help from the United States and other nations of the free world came in Saigon from Cambodian Foreign Minister Koun Wick who made a special trip to the South Vietnamese capital to meet with Secretary of State William P. Rogers.

WICK WAS understood to-have asked for more U.S. weapons, ammunition and uniforms for the small but Cambodian army which has grown to well over 100,000 men in recent weeks. Wick conferred with Rogers for 90 minutes at the residence of U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, and also held talks with the foreign ministers of South Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and South Korea. The diplomats were in Saigon for the regular conference of nations allied in the anti-Communist effort.

President Nguyen Cao Kyi in an interview with publisher W. R. Hearst, made public yesterday, said South Vietnam hopes to form an alliance with Thailand and Cambodia to provide a front against North Vietnamese troops when the United States completes its manpower withdrawal from Vietnam. most important thing is to strengthen the anti-Communist regime in Cambodia rjght now so it can stand up, then form an alliance, or at least a military front," Ky said. "Then the threat of North Vietnam coming back here again with a big offensive would be diminished." 'Sincerity" For Draft it was learned.

The report follows the inspection of the canal over a week ago by Hickel's investigators who examined the project from the air and ground. Hickel, it was reported, desires to take over the functions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. THE MAIN thrust against the canal comes from the Tlorida Defenders of the Environment which has repeatedly assaulted the project though publications and studies. The opposition has filed a suit in Washington to enjoin the Nixon Returns To Face Foes In Congress SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.

0JPD President Nixon ended a 12-day visit to the western White House late yesterday and flew back to Washington to deal with a rebellious Congress. Nixon called a meeting of the GOP congressional leadership for this morning to discuss pending 1971 appropriations bills. Stung by Congress' decision last week to override his veto of the Federal Hospital Construction Act, Nixon already has signalled his intention of launching a major campaign to label the Democratic-controlled Congress as fiscally irresponsible and uncooperative in his efforts to control inflation. The President also is concerned about the Senate vote to limit his authority in Southeast Asia by forbidding any more attacks inside Cambodia and cutting off funds to third countries assisting the Cam bodians. Italian Premier Resigns From Page 1 Saragat following a 15-minute Cabinet meeting.

Saragat, in a ritual response, withheld decision, asking Rumor to stay on while the head of state conducts consultations with party leaders, starting Wednesday. In a letter to the leaders of the four coalition parties, Rumor called his resignation irrevocable. He said his purpose in quitting was to bring political unity to the coalition "before the situation deteriorates further." RUMOR'S THIRD government lasted little more than three months. It was formed March 27 at the end of one of Italy's worst postwar government crises and was the country's 31st government since the fall of fascism. On the political level, the resignation of the 55-year-old bachelor premier provoked sharp dissension within the center-left coalition, and within Rumor's own dominant Christian Democrat party.

Deputy Premier Francesco de Martino, head of the Leftist Socialist PSI party, the Christian Democrats' chief ally in the coalition, called Rumor's resignation a "political error." He charged that the move could lead to "a new period of uncertainty," threatening both the economy and the country's democratic form of government. LABOR MINISTER Carlo Donat-Cattin, a leftist Christian Democrat, said: "We are walking in the dark." He contended the new government crisis "delays reforms and makes relation with the unions more difficult." But Rumor drew praise from the Moderate Socialist party PSU which coexists uneasily with the leftist Socialists in the coalition. "It wasn't possible to go forward anymore," PSU secretary Mauro Ferri said after the cabinet meeting. "Th social and economic situation of the country requires homogeneous and efficient political guidance." i Near Armenia Ave. rivumA you've never thought of as "happiness."

On Barge By AL LEE Tribune Staff Writer OCALA Hinting President Nixon will be called upon to make a decision in the Cross-Florida Barge Canal, a national magazine has called upon waterway interests to push for completion of the project. Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel has asked for a 15-month moratorium on canal projects.

However, Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor has not replied to Hickel and speculation is strong that Resor will reject the request. IF RESOR fails to grant Hickel's construction moratorium request, it is believed the matter could go to President Nixon for a decision, according to the "Waterways Journal," published in St. Louis, and distributed nationally. The publication notes that organized opposition to the barge canal has expanded far beyond Florida to the point where the waterway has become a national conservation issue. Conservationists and other canal opponents cite a potential ruin of the environment surrounding the canal.

Canal advocates have strongly disputed this contention. The issue has intensified in proportion to the recent Army Corps of Engineers' activity in opening new bids covering the canal project, including a new State Road 40 bridge east of Silver Springs, a complex of railroad and highway bridges at Dun-nellon, a new spillway at Inglis and beautification of the western reach of the canal. The June bid openings represent some $15 million worth of new construction. IN AN editorial supporting the canal, the "Waterways Journal" states Hickel's request carries implications which go far beyond Florida. "It is a danger signal affecting all water resources interests and must be resisted promptly and vigorously." "No waterway project in our history has been so thoroughly and repeatedly studied and re-viewed," the publication states.

The Department of the Interior, meanwhile, is exerting considerable re in Washington to stop the canal, in the effort, Rep. Thomas M. Rces, commented yesterday: "The trouble is, people are determined to have their material in the Record. If they are not allowed to insert it, they will stand there (on the floor) and read it." If they did that congressional sessions would be substantially longer. Already they often run into the night, especially in the Senate.

AS A COMPROMISE, some members of the reform group are discussing a proposal to require material inserted but not actually delivered on the floor to be printed in the Record in different type, clearly celling it apart from the actual proceedings. If such a rule had applied to the July 2 Record, only a few lines of one page would have appeared in regular type. The "proceedings" in the Senate required only 67 words.

HE WAS ASKED if Soviet troops had actually been in combat against Israeli jets. He replied: "As far as the Sam 3 missiles are concerned, we think they are operated by Soviet personnel and as far as the Sam 2 missiles are concerned in every battery you have a few Russians Russian officers who maybe do not push the button, but they make sure the button is not pushed before or after it really has to be pushed." He said the Sam 3 missiles are used to protect the Sam 2 missile sites closer to the canal and that the Egyptians were firing the Sam 2 missiles in salvoes in a bid to set up aerial ambushes.

Asked how the Egyptians and Russians moved in the Sam 3s despite night and day bombing he said: "They moved them in more or less in one move. We discovered it immediately, last Tuesday morning, and the same day we started to attack it. It is a system where the Russian hand is felt really in every corner." ISRAEL HAS carried out almost non-stop raids against the Suez Canal area in an effort to halt placement of the missile sites and raided again yesterday for the 47th consecutive day. A senior Israeli military spokesman estimated the raids had killed nearly 2,000 Egyptian troops in the past year. The Sam 2 missiles, believed the same as those used in North Vietnam against American planes, are slower than the sophisticated new Sam 3 weapons and American and Israeli pilots alike were able to dodge what they called "flying telephone poles." Bar-Lev's statement was the first official word that Soviets have actually fired at Israeli planes.

However Soviet fliers were already reported flying combat missions inside Egypt to protect its interior. The Israeli spokesman said aerial photographs showed 1,801 new Egyptian graves in the Suez Canal area in the past year and put total losses at 2,000. Israeli newspapers said fighting along the canal had reached a new level of intensity with Soviet military advisers probably actively From Page 1 does not mean, by no means, that we have lost our ability to Gen. Haim Bar-Lev issues report Real Test Objectors "SOLELY MORAL or ethical beliefs" are acceptable even if the applicant himself says they are not religious. His objection to war must stem from beliefs about right and wrong, held "with the strength of traditional religious conviction." The applicant must demonstrate a foundation for his belief, in "training, study, contemplation, or other activity, comparable in rigor and dedication to the process by which traditional religious convictions are formulated." "Boards are not free to reject beliefs because they consider them Their task is to decide whether the beliefs professed by a registrant are sincerely held and whether they govern his actions both in word and deed." Tarr's directive said boards could not withhold conscientious objector classification because a registrant does not beieve in a traditional God or Supreme Being; docs not express his beliefs in "formal or traditional or does not belong to a "peace church" or other formal organization.

Boards can refuse CO classification, he said, to those whose objections to war "are not deeply held" and to those whose objections rest "solely upon consideration of policy, pragmatism or expediency." fitted oltfie (hied Mtuui It doesn't always mean what you think. Non-Happenings Clutter Congressional Record ra1 From Page 1 "consulted some system of belief," and must have reached his belief through "some rigorous kind of training." The guidelines announced yesterday follow those general i i 1 but appear to broaden the "rigorous training" requirement which Tarr had acknowledged would give an advantage to those with a college education. IN THE OFFICIAL version, the applicant's belief must arise from some activity "comparable in rigor and dedication" to traditional religious training. Here are highlights of the new criteria for determining whether a man may be excused from military service on grounds of conscientious objection: The applicant must object "to all wars rather than to a specific war." "The primary test is the test of sincerity The board should be convinced by information presented to it that the registrant's personal history reveals views and actions strong enough to demonstrate that expediency is not the basis of his claim." "The belief upon which conscientious objection is based must be the primary controlling force in the man's life." A The word "Canadian" means you're getting a good whisky.

Canadian Lord Calvert By EDMOND LeBRETON WASHINGTON ui The Congressional Record for July 2 runs more than 112 pages even though the Senate met for only eight seconds that day and the House did not meet at all.

The reason for this voluminous listing of nonhappen-ings is simple. It is because of the venerable congressional custom of inserting the Record speeches not actually delivered, editorials, news stories, poetry, recipes or just about anything else a member wants printed. THE RECORD, incidentally, costs $116 a page to print. A number of House members are concerting efforts to turn a bland legislative reorganization bill into substantial updating of House rules, but there is practically no chance that the expensive practice will be abolished.
