THE TAMPA TIMES, Monday, October 2, 1978 9-A i Capsuling The Nation Capsuling The World Times Wire Reports Times Wire Reports Bigfoot-type creatine spotted Israeli gunboat sinks PLO ship Seventy percent of the government's civilian work force is covered by the new law which took effect day. Another provision of the law which becomes effective Jan. 1 will prohibit private industry from forcing employees to retire until the age of 70. The current protection against mandatory retirement in private industry is age 65. Hotel picketed WW CSr IJx TEL AVIV, Israel An Israeli gunboat blew up and sank an explosive-laden Arab guerrilla ship to foil an attack on the crowded port of Eilat timed for the Jewish new year holiday, the military command says.

"When I think what they could have done, I quake," a military source said Sunday, noting that thousands of Israelis poured into Eilat and the Sinai for a five-day weekend bridging the sabbath and. the Rosh Hashana new. year holiday which began Sunday night. The military command said an Is-1 raeli gunboat blew the cargo ship Ad-rios Dimitrios out of the Gulf of Aqaba waters Saturday by firing three rockets into its hull and detonating the vessel's three tons of explosives. The captured crewmen said they were members of the Al Fatah guerrilla group on a mission to shell Eilat with Katyusha rockets and detonate their ship in the harbor.

Al Fatah is the guerilla group of Yasser Arafat, the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Chinese celebrate TOKYO Led by Chairman Hua Kuo-feng, 17,000 Chinese and more than 1,000 foreign guests crowded Peking's indoor stadium to celebrate the 29th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, the official Hsinhua news agency reported. Huge color portraits of Hua and his predecessor, Chairman Mao Tse-tung, hung side by-side above the rostrum Sunday. The program included a hundred pre-school children singing of their love for Chairman Hua, Hsinhua said.

The crewmen want higher pay and better working conditions. Sadat forms party CAIRO Egypt's Committee for Political Parties unanimously approved President Anwar Sadat's new National Democratic Party, committee chairman Mustafa Khalil announced. Sadat formed the party after the former ruling Misr Party had difficulty getting legislation through parliament even though it held 308 of the 360 seats. Most of the Misr members joined the new party and then the Misr merged with it, giving it 310 seats in parliament. HARDY, Iowa Mark Thompson claims he saw a creature resembling a large hairy ape much like the legendary "Bigfoot" in his soybean patch the other day.

Kossuth and Humboldt County officials say there have been a number of such sightings in the area in the past two months. Thompson said he was sitting in a pickup truck late last week when he saw something that appeared to be 7 feet" tall and covered with brownish-black hair in the soybean field. He said the creature moved away when he honked his horn and flashed the pickup's lights. -Another observer who visited the field on Saturday said he found footprints that led into a marshy area and disappeared in tall weeds. He said the prints were 14 inches long and 2 inches deep.

"They definitely were not made by a farm" animal," he said. Thompson is the latest of about a dozen in the two counties to report such sightings since July when a large, foul-smelling ape-like creature Irst was reported in Ottosen.

Shark, jellyfish don't stop Taylor's marathon swim Times Wire Reports Miami plane crashes in gulf, pilot killed On the issue of legalizing casino gambling, 913 registered voters were sampled between Sept.

24-28. The survey showed a four percent switch to the anti-casino side from a similar poll 20 days earlier. The latest sample gives anti-casino forces 56 percent, pro-casinos 35 percent and undecided 9 percent. If successful, this swim could be 130 or 140 miles, making Miss Taylor the first person ever to complete a Biminr-' to-Florida swim. After saying a quiet prayer, she en; tered the warm water at 10:40 a.m,.

Sunday at Orange Cay, a dot of an island 48 miles south of Bimini. She had periodic coats of petroleum: jelly applied to her body to after suffering stings from poisonous jellyfish. "I'm being stung more," she gasped at one time. Late Sunday she suffered even more painful stings when she twice encountered the venomous man-of-war tentacles. After darkness fell, an alert was cnunHori urhon an aiaM.fnrtt chart tunc CETA investigation ABOARD THE IDLE DAY (AP) -A solitary figure in the glare of a flood-lightStella Taylor churned through the Gulf Stream, knowing today might hold the toughest obstacles in her attempt to swim from Bimini to Florida's coast.

Her arms beat a steady 70 strokes a minute as she plodded into the night at two miles an hour, ignoring Portugese man-of-war stings and a brush with a shark. Shortly before midnight, she'd trav-eled 25 miles west and 18 miles north of her starting point and had penetrated the stronger northward pull of the Gulf Stream, quickening her progress toward the Florida coast. A chipper 46-year-old who has conquered the English Channel twice, Taylor is making her second attempt at the Bimini-to-Florida crossing. Jn August she came within a scant 12 miles of victory before being pulled away from the shore by the Gulf Stream, which flows northward. At that same time, an attempt by Diana Nyad to swim from Cuba to the Florida Keys also fell short.

NEW ORLEANS, La. A twin engine DC-3 out of Miami ditched in the Gulf of Mexico late Sunday, about 90 miles south of Pensacola, killing the pilot. Three passengers were rescued, Coast Guard district headquarters reported. "Four people were aboard," said Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Ken Palmer.

"One died. The pilot was trapped in the instrument panel and was unable to get out. "The other three got into a raft. They were picked up by the S.S. St.

Mary (a Merchant Marine steamship)," Palmer said. "Of the three recovered, two had superficial wounds; the other was moderately injured." Other details, including the plane's ownership and destination and the identity of those aboard, were not available early today. Poll favors Shevin ST. PETERSBURG Newspaper-sponsored surveys published Sunday showed Attorney General Robert Shevin leading former state Sen. Robert Graham for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and the anti-casino forces gaining ground.

The governor's poll sampled 586 registered Democrats Sept. 24-26 and showed 16 percent undecided. Shevin was favored by 47 percent and Graham showed a 37 percent backing. MIAMI The Miami-area's operation of the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs is so scandal-ridden, the. U.S.

Department of Labor will open a permanent investigative office in Miami today. The various CETA programs in the Dade County area have been the subject in recent weeks of newspaper exposes that have brought on city, county and federal investigations. The Labor Department said the Miami office, to be staffed by seven investigators, won't be ready for full operation until later in the year. Under direction of veteran administrators" Hugo Me-nendez arid William R. Gamble III, the office will investigate labor racketeering, organized crime and CETA fraud cases.

"We're open to any complaints involving unions or any Labor Department programs," Menendez said. "Organized crime and CETA will be priorities, but no complaints will be ignored." seen beneath a boat about 100 yards behind Taylor. A guard with a rifle fired into the sea a test shot, he said.
