The men will also meet with the newly organized Aliyah Group at the center at 8 p.m. that same day.

Aliyah Groups are organizations whose members are thinking of settling in Israel within a year.

Ralph A. Hart, chairman of Heublein, will retire from that jwst in October, but will 'continue to serve as a consultant to the rapidly expanding food and beverage company. Hart, 66, will stand for re-election to the board at the Heublein annual shareholders meeting October 15.

He has been a board member since 1961. Hart joined Heublein in June I9bi as president and was named chief executive officer three years later. In October, 1966 he was elected chairman and chief executive officer. He relinquished the duties of the latter office in March, 1968, continuing as chairman. When Hart joined Heublein, the company's annual sales to- totaled $100 million.

He soon an nounced a goal of a half-billion dollars in sales to be reached in 10 years. His goal seemed awesome at the time, but it was exceeded in 1969, two years ahead of schedule. Sales for fiscal 1970 were more than $583 million. Prior to' joining Heublein, Hart served for nearly 30 years in various executive capacities with Colgate Palmolive Company. In 1S55, he was elected president of Colgate Palmolive International and two years later was elected executive vice president of the parent Colgate -Palmolive Co.

Hart's extensive a business experience prior to joining Heublein was a major factor in expanding the company's international activities. He was also instrumental in two major domestic acquisitions for Heublein Theodore Hamm Brewing in 1966 and United Vintners, in 1969.

Nixon, whose statement was applauded in advance by both Republican and Democratic leaders of Congress, said: "Piracy is not a new challenge for the community of nations.

Most countries, including the United States, found effective means of dealing with piracy on the high seas a century and a half ago. We can and we will deal effectively with piracy in the skies today." New Equipment The airlines' share of financing the new effort spurred by dramatic jetliner takeovers by Palestinian guerrillas will in volve purchase of electronic instruments designed to detect weapons or explosives as they are carried through boarding gates in passengers' clothing or luggage. The air carriers also will hire the people to operate this equipment, and they will provide seats for, the government guards. The federal government will finance the guard force, as well as pay the salaries of U.S. marshals and customs officials empowered to arrest suspected hijackers.

Tax Increase The govvernment hopes to recoup the outlays by increasing taxes levied against passengers. Nixon will soon ask Congress for what was described as "a very small increase" in the 8 per cent excise tax in tickets for domestic flights. He will also seek with apparent bipartisan support an increase in the $3 "head tax" now imposed on passengers taking overseas flights. WASHINGTON (AP) Nine years ago, after a rash of plane hijackings, the Federal Aviation Administration quietly trained some of its inspectors as sky marshals. They've been on the trail ever since, but they've never encountered a skyjacker.

An FAA official said Friday he assumes the sky marshals will form the cadre for training the large numbers of guards who will be required under pres ident Nixon new order. Train in Texas Since 1962, the FAA has sent its inspectors to the Border Patrol Academy at Port Isabel, near the southeast tip of Texas, for training in handling firearms and in unarmed self defense. "We can't discuss the num bers or the locations of these people," the FAA official said. "They are FAA employes, regu lar safety inspectors, who are trained to be police officers as collateral duty." The inspectors then are deputized as U.S. marshals by the Justice Department.

FAA Duties "They've been used all along," the official said, "but they've never encountered a hi jacker in flight. The course at the Border Pa trol Academy lasts two weeks. The inspectors return yearly for refresher courses. They are trained in such things as judo, in how to make arrests. Primarily their job is to check on the performance of pilots and aircraft.

The guard work is an added duty. News, City Editors Named by Advocate STAMFORD (A Fred W. Willis III has been named news editor and Mrs. Marion W. Campbell city editor of the Stamford Advocate, Managing Editor Roland Blais announced Friday.

Willis has been a member of the Advocate sports staff since 1961 and sports editor since 1964. by $7,000 more. Into what should we invest our surplus? I'm 40, my husband is 49. ANSWER: I'm sure a lot of people would like to share your kind of aggravation. I'm also sure you've put a lot of effort and good management into reaching the point where cash is a problem, and you're to be con-' gratulated for looking for ways of handling it.

If there is one thing in your situation that sticks out like a sore thumb, it's the experience you've had in making your own stock investments. Even with the market slump we've had, losing 75 per cent in paper value on your investment has to bei considered a terrible perform ance. In that sense, you've been aoumy tortunate in navine -so much of your cash lying "idle" in savings accounts. Those accounts have preserved this part of your capital at least, as well as earning interest. You could do a lot better with professional management your holdings in the stock market.

I'd suggest mutual funds in your case. There is a large number from which to choose, and.you can find one or two that would fit whatever degree of risk you wish to assume in your search for long-term capital gain. Funds are an excellent vehicle for the kind of regular, periodic investment your cash flow seerris to call for. Before you move any great amount out of savings, however, determine just how much of a cushion you're comfortable with for emergencies. Most family advisers recommend that available savings approximate six months' to a year's income.

You also 'should discuss with a tax accountant ways to lower your tax bill, possible through annual gifts to your children in a form that would yield them enough for their education when the time comes. QUESTION: I've just invested $3,000 in a mutual fund. I was surprised to see the cost for each share was $7.08. The bid hasn't been that high for some time. I questioned this and was told the "asked" price is what I pay.

Is this correct? Why? ANSWER: You've been correctly informed. The "asked" price is what you pay when you buy a mutual fund. Why? Because that is the only price at was filled at that net asset value PLUS a charge of BSA per cent. The fund sales agent simply took $262.50 out of your $3,000 and gave you -as many shares at $6.46 as the remaining $2,737.50 would buy. (Mr.

"We have a very special re gard for American Can Co. to help diversify the state's eco- production and open up new job opportunities for Connecticut growing population," he said. The announcement by American Can four years ago has been followed by some 40 other top firms that they are relocating executive offices into Connecticut," Feinberg disclosed.

Included in administrative relocations to Connecticut, according to Feinberg, are IBM, Xerox, Uniroyal, Olin, Avco, Schweppes, Armstrong Rubber, Stauffer Chemical and American Thread. Located in New York City for more than 60 years, American Can management decided to consolidate several of its divisions and faced the necessity of increasing its number of employees as well as its amount of operating space. When the Development Commission first began working confidentially with the company, more than 100 possible locations were being considered from New Jersey to Connecticut. After many months of intensive study, the management made its choice: 145 acres in Greenwich triangle, an area bordered on two sides by New York State and on the third by Route 1-87. Guests are Sunday's ceremonies will have an opportunity to view portions of this ultra-modern facility, its three floors de voting nearly 600,000 square feet to office and service areas, and its underground garage for some 1,700 cars.

But it will be for the people of Greenwich and the State of Connecticut, to ex perience the lasting impact of American Can, with its 1,800 employees and annual payroll of $27 million. Penn Central Yields to Wishes Of Commuters NEW HAVEN (A Penn Central commuters have won at least a partial victory in their campaign to keep trains running that are most conven-nient for them. The Connecticut Department of Transportation said' Fridav the railroad has agreed to run a train which is nearly identical in scheduling to the nresent Bankers' Express. Commuters have contended that riders from this area would get poorer, rather than rvttpl sprviro uhon a now vnno system is started on the railroad's New Haven Division Sept. 21.

They were particularly critical of plans to make changes on the Bankers' Express which leaves New Haven at 8:01 a.m. and arrives at Grand Central 'Station at 9:27 a.m., and the Merchant s' Limited, which leaves Grand Central at 5 p.m. and arrives in New Haven at 6:20 p.m. Samuel Kanell, deputy director of the Transportation Department, said Friday that the I railroad has agreed to run a train which will leave New at 8 a.m. and arrive at Grand Central at 9:29 a.m.

Martin; a for mer president and chief executive officer, and now chairman of its executive committee, said: "Naturally, we wanted a man of the very highest qualifia-tions a man with vision, energy, experience and dedication. Luckily, we found him in Ralph Hart.

He brought this company to a new and higher plateau from which we are building for tomorrow." Hart, a native of Boise, Idaho, currently serves as a director of several other companies, including Allis Chalmers, Economics Laboratory, The Emhart Corporation, Connecticut Bank Trust Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance International Distillers and Vintners of London, England and Destilby, S.A., of Mexico. employes also were laid off in an attempt to reduce operating expenses. Cyr estimates the station operates at a monthly loss of some $65,000. On a more optimistic note, he announced the increase in color broadcasting for the fall. At present only one hour of programming is done in color each night; this season there will be 4V4 hours of color viewing every night.

The color programs already were owned by the, station, Cyr, explained. St. Francis Staff Gains 31 LPNs There are 31 new licensed practical on the staff of St. Francis Hospital.

In a special Nixon said that "specially trained, armed United States government personnel" will begin flying the airlines Saturday. At the same time, air carriers will be urged to make wider use of electronic gear and surveillance techniques designed to keep potential air pirates off scheduled flights. 4,000 Man Force Initially the force of about 4,000 sky marshals will be re cruited mainly irom various federal police agencies, notably those of the Treasury Department, and supplemented by mil itary policemen, shore patrol men, and air police, until a per manent cadre of civilian guards planes. These missiles are be lieved manned by Egyptians.

The military command in Tel Aviv said the Israeli complaint was based on information re ceived Thursday. It was submitted to the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization in Jerusalem. The Israelis also charged that construction and preparation of missile sites is continuing in the standstill area. Israel has complained of 13 al leged violations since the cease-fire and military stand still went into effect five weeks ago.

TEL AVIV (AP) Some Is- ralis are saying that Moshe Dayan has in effect become ac me premier. It seems certain that the defense minister has emerged stronger than ever from recent decision-making. One influential newspaper says the patch-eyed minister is dictating foreign policy to a large extent, as well as defense policy. He has threatened his resignation to fight for his views and some people are con vinced Golda Meir's Cabinet would fall if Dayan left it. At the same time, available infor mation indicates Jhat the pre mier has grown to have increas ing confidence in Dayan judgment on security matters.

It was at Dayan's insistence that Israel suspended its participation in the indirect peace talks with Egypt and Jordan. Dayan Won According to many sources, Dayan last week forced his will on the majority of the Cabinet over the issue of the Egyptian missiles and the resumption of the talks at the United Nations. He was the first Cabinet minister to charge Cairo with violating the standstill. Furthermore, he has consistently held that the United States, guarantor- and sponsor of the plan, must right the situation. Mrs.

Meir supported her defense minister's stand and "after intense arguments" the deci sion not to participate in the talks was adopted, the sources said. -Thus the talks have been aban doned by Israel until the alleged new missile sites are removed or a new standstill agreement is reached. Haaretz, an influential newspaper often critical of the gov ernment, said this was the fourth time in the last month that Dayan had applied his "fantastic talent" for twisting the government's arm to his will. Three Chargers luxury sports Coronet will By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A fragile peace pact between Arab guerrillas and Jordan's government seemed imperiled Friday by commando demands for a new "national authority" to run the country. In a broadcast heard through out the Arab world, the guerrilla leadership called for forma tion of a national authority "representing the forces of the people to run the country and purge antiguerrilla elements from the army, the state and police." The demands were beamed over a radio station in Baghdad, Iraq, which speaks for the over-all guerrilla command, the Central Committee of the Pales tine Liberation The Central Committee did not specify whether the authority meant formation of a new JLt said this body should pull Jordan armed forces out of the cities and redeploy them along the cease-fire line with Israel.

Hussein Accused The guerrillas have accused King Hussein of pulling most of his army from the fighting fronts and posting them around Amman and other Jordanian towns since his regime accepted the American-sponsored ceasefire Aug. 7. The Baghdad broadcast said the guerrillas' new demands must be met, if the latest peace pact reached Thursday between the commandos and Hussem government is to survive. Missile Charges In another Mideast develop ment, Israel charged that Egypt has now moved Soviet SAM3 missiles into the military stand still zone west of the Suez Ca nal. The SAM3s are believed manned by Soviet crews.

The missiles are designed to home in on low-flying aircraft. They would complement the SAM2s, already in the canal zone, which strike at high-flying Rabbi Appointed To Windsor Post A former Air Force Chaplain has been appointed the new rab bi of Congregation Beth Ahcn, 362 Palisado Ave. in Windsor.

Rabbi Kaplan is married and the father of three children.

Dodge Charger for 1971 L-m liji iium 1 has By PATRICIA STEWART Channel 18, Hartford's first television station when it started broadcasting here 16 years ago, is up for sale. The decision to sell, made in July by WHCT owner RKO Gen eral was based on the failure of the Federal Communications Commission to grant RKO's application for a power increase. The application, filed -more than two years ago, sought to increase power from 186,000 watts to 5 million watts. RKO has contended that Channel 18's present wattage the lowest Ultra High Frequency outlet in the country nuts the station in an unfair competive position with otner stations in the area. Both RKO and Channel 18 spokesmen Friday attributed the FCC's delay in acting on the application to pressure from Channel 30, which had filed petitions against the proposed power increase.

Channel 18 Station Manager George Cyr said he felt the increase would have been approved if Channel 30 had not objected. An RKO spokesman in New York said there would be "a heck of a good market" in the Hartford area if the petition were granted. The executive claimed a prospective buyer would have no trouble getting the power increase approved if the firm did not own other stations in the New York or Boston areas. RKO owns stations in both cities. A "lot of interest" has been shown in the purchase of Channel 18, he said, but there have been no definite offers as yet.

Any speculation that RKO now intends to take Channel 18 off the air is untrue, the spokesman added. The station will continue to operate, he said. In line with RKO's decision, the station is cutting back on personnel and air time. Eleven staff members have been re leased in recent months, says Cyr, and a revised broadcasting schedule will go into effect Sept. 28.

Daytime weekend program ming will be eliminated and broadcasting will begin at 4:30 p.m. Saturdays and 5:30 p.m. Sundays. Two years ago, the station cut weekday broadcasting to the present 4 p.m. to midnight schedule.
