Then WHYI's FM competitor WMJX, also obtained a copy of the new album and started broadcasting it. That made WHYI angry. WHYI program director Bill Tanner said that because his competitor appar-. ently hadn't heard from attorneys for the Bee Gees, "We felt like we had been betrayed." While WMJX continued to broadcast the Bee Gees' new album, one of the station's disc jockeys, Russ Oasis, was fired when station management accused him of violating two Federal Communications rulings.

Oasis allegedly called WHYI and asked if that station was still playing the album. A WHYI spokesman replied, "We can't do that anymore." Oasis recorded the WHYI statement and broadcast it on WMJX, suggesting pointedly that WMJX was better because it still was playing the album. WMJX contended Oasis had violated FCC rules by not asking to tape the WHYI telephone call and not getting permission to broadcast it. Meanwhile, Rich Fitzgerald, RSO Records vice president in Los Angeles, said that because of all the pirating of the Bee Gees' new album the company has advanced its release date to MIAMI (AP) A modern-day pirate tale in Miami has given two radio stations what might be called a case of the heeBeeGeebees and caused the Bee Gees singing group's record company to advance the release date for their latest album. A feverishly spirited ratings war between the two FM-radio stations also brought a threat of legal action from attorneys for the Bee Gees and resulted in the firing of a disc jockey.

It also gave a not inconsiderable amount of free publicity to the Bee. Gees' new album. The tale began last week when station WHYI broadcast an allegedly pirated version of the Bee Gees' latest record album, which allegedly wasn't supposed to be shipped by RSO Records until Feb. according to the Miami News. Copies of the new album also turned up at stations in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles.

The Bee Gees are Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, who live in the Miami area and recorded their latest album, "Spirits Having Flown," at Criteria Studios in North Miami. That's their first album since "Saturday Night Fever." They sold some 30 million copies of "Fever." When WHYI claimed it was the first Miami-area station to play "Spirits," Bee Gees' attorneys sent the station a ill I if I -i; if -A jrr: if ORLANDO (AP) A Miami legislator told a nora-inating panel Friday that, despite published reports, she had received no assurances from Gov. Bob Graham she would be appointed to the1 Public Service Commission. Rep. Gwen Cherry, a Democrat and 10-year veteran of the Florida Legislature, made her comment in response to a query from a member of the PSC Nominating Council, which is conducting interviews of 36 applicants for three positions on the newly restyled regulatory commission.

Council member Nat Polak of Tallahassee said he was curious why Cherry had recently written to former Gov. Reubin Askew while he was still in office urging minority appointments, and then had announced her candidacy for the job. Cherry, a black, said she had long advocated the appointment of minorities, blacks and wornen to state boards and agencies. "You have no understanding from the governor (Graham) that you will be appointed?" Polak asked after mentioning published reports to that effect. "No," Cherry replied.

The Miami lawmaker is considered one of the leading candidates for appointment to the PSC. The nominating council, headed by former Sen. Kenneth Plante of Winter Park, is to forward a list of names to the governor for him to select three. The PSC's two other members were named by Askew before he left office. Plante said Friday he thought the 36 applicants would be pared to "maybe 12, 15 or 20" Saturday after the two days of interviews in Orlando.

All of those names selected on Saturday will be sent as a group to the governor, Plante said, with no one designated for a specific seat. The panel's three elected members Billy Mayo, Paula Hawkins and Robert Mann were still on the list of those to be interviewed for possible recommendation to the the governor. Graham has said, however, that he would not appoint Hawkins, who was the Republican Party's lieutenant governor candidate against the Graham ticket last November. Among the applicants interviewed by the nine-member council Friday were Jay D. Bond of DeLand, a lawyer, former professor at Stetson University and staff counsel for the Federal Communications Commission in Washington D.C.; former Mayor Herman W.

Goldner of St. Petersburg; University of Florida economics Professor Sanford V. Berg; aerospace engineer Claude C. Davis; attorney Norman J. Bolinger of Jacksonville; and Patsy A.

Ceros-Livingston, vice chairman of the Broward County School Board. Bolinger, who has represented motor carriers seeking licenses before the PSC, said the "morale was at the lowest on the commission in the last 25 years." Rose Gordon, a Miami city commissioner who has also applied for the PSC, sent word that she was ill and would be unable to attend the sessions in Officials Say Airlines Gave Best Effort To Stranded A Hug And A Cookie Two-year-old Michael Granholm, who survived a seven-story fall on New Years Day, smiles as he receives a huge cookie and a hug from his grateful mother Lisa Granholm.

a Initially, a National spokesman in Miami said overnight lodging could not be found for about 70 of the passengers because of a lack of available motel rooms. Later, however, after told that there were rooms in Norfolk, another National official contacted airline personnel and reported the difficulty was not rooms, but a shortage of ground transportation. He said two other airplanes were diverted to Norfolk shortly before National's three jetliners, placing a heavy demand on a limited number of buses, taxi cabs and limousines. Transportation was available by midnight, but was refused by many'pas-sengers who said they preferred to finish the evening in the plane, the spokesman said. Passengers interviewed early Thursday complained about the treatment "On TV, we see flight crews who give their lives (to protect passengers)," said Elyse Drexler of Delmar, N.Y.

"But it's not like that in real life. These people wouldn't even stay to serve coffee." NORFOLK, Va. (UPI) Federal officials said Friday that National Airlines apparently made "a good faith effort" to accommodate 400 stranded passengers Wednesday night at Norfolk International Airport. Susan Lawrence, an official with the Civil Aeronautics Board's consumer protection division, said airline officials told her that they were able to find lodging for most of the passengers Wednesday, but 70 persons spent up to 14 hours'on three grounded planes because of lack of ground transportation. "We're going to check things out to make sure it is correct, but they apparently made a good faith effort," Lawrence said.

Federal regulations require airlines to provide diverted passengers with overnight accomodations, meal money and transportation costs to and from the airport. Violations could result in civil penalities, Lawrence said. Three National jetliners, enroute from Florida to New York, were diverted to Norfolk at about 7 p.m. Wednesday because of inclement weather. All resumed their journey by The governor told the group that he would place a high emphasis on the independence of local governments during his administration, recognizing that state government cannot, and should not, exceed its authority in the regulation of people's lives.

But Graham also said that representatives of local government also must realize that there are some areas that logically require state attention. "There are some challenges that are the state's responsibility," Graham said, adding that those include land-use policy and certain strategic decisions such as transportation policy. Graham said many citizens have become disappointed with government at both the state and local level, because they feel like they have lost their voice in the governmental process. 1 "That is going to be a real challenge to those of us in government to see that people feel they have a say in their government," the governor said. TALLAHASSEE (AP) Gov.

Bob Graham on Friday advocated a new era of state and local cooperation in which as many decisions as possible would be made at the local level. Graham's remarks came in a brief address to the Florida Advisory Council on Intergovernmental Relations, a state-funded panel. The group, which is under the administrative control of the Legislature's Joint Management Committee, includes representatives from the Legislature and state and local governments. The governor makes nine appointments to the 17-member group while the Senate president and House speaker each make four appointments from their respective bodies. "I personally' put a high value on the work of this council," Graham told the council members Friday.

He added, "Oftentimes, the best decisions are likely to be made by the people closest to the problem." 1S27 S. Dole Mabry micro magic 259-1216 10414 N.

Bob Gorby, a leader of the group, said 30 persons were on the bus and eight others were following in two cars. The group was headed for a North Carolina ski resort. Elzie was driving the bus when he inadvertently turned off at the exit, thinking he was still on the highway, according to Robert Burgess, 21.

He said the bus was going about 55 mph. It landed in a ditch on its roof, pinning Elzie and a woman inside for about an hour and a half. GREENVILLE, S.C.

The others had minor injuries.
