Oil Ban Called Blessing to U.S. WASHINGTON (UPI) Federal energy chief William E. Simon said Tuesday the Arab oil embargo may have been a blessing in disguise. In testimony before the House Legal and Monetary Affairs subcommittee, Simon said the effect of the embargo was to crystallize concern for energy problems that had been neglected for years. "The embargo came at precisely the right time at a time when the seriousness of the energy problem was a matter of debate-and it made all of us realize that it's a fact, not a question," Simon said.

"A few years earlier and we would have dismissed it as an unimportant inconvenience. A few years later and its impact would have been too large for any federal program to avoid or alleviate."

(AP) An Easter Week effort to "bring the Mass to the people" turned up Tuesday on a commuter train.

The Rev. John Zec, curate at St. Mary's church in Deal who commutes part time to music school in New York, said the Mass on a train facing 80 commuters and some nuns and high school girls who sat with them. Father Zec noted that commuters spend a big part of their lives on the train and said he hoped his Mass would become an annual event. He said it was as good a way as any to take the Mass to the people who need it.

"Your lives have purpose and so does this ride," he said in his sermon. "Day in, day out, through the tedium of your ride, you are living your lives for your family." The young priest, a railroad buff, said the Mass was organized by riders and crewmen on the Jersey Central Railroad's 7 a.m. train from Bay Head to New York. His altar was a long wooden counter spanning an aisle between the coach seats of the commuter car. The counter is used as a bar when vacationers crowd the trains during summer.

He wore robes specially made for the Mass and the outside vestment had the Statue of herald and name of the railroad emblazoned in red on its white breast. Commuters had been notified about the Mass by circular and most of those who came into the car stayed, putting aside their newspapers and cigarettes when Mass started. True to the realities of commuting, the Mass had no specific starting time It started shortly after the train began its hour-and-a half-long journey and progressed as the train passed through sandy shore towns and inland commuter villages: over trestles crossing turnpikes and, finally, through city streets. The commuters were unanimous in their praise of the innovation. "Out of this world," said Kathleen Dettlinger of Bay Head.

Students Test Mettle At Shooting CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) In the spring, the thoughts of dirty-kneed boys and engineering students turn to marbles. They did, at least, for 80 Massachusetts Institute of Technology students in a mechanical engineering class. Their project was to build a gizmo that would shoot a marble as far as possible in the fastest possible time. Designs ranged from the simple to the bizarre.

But all 80 had the same working material two rubber bands, five paper clips, six inches of piano wire, four tongue depressors, four feet of string, a plastic cup, 10 straws, 10 pins, a pink eraser. And a marble. The simplest designs worked best. The object was to fly the marble from an elevated start to the farthest gate on a sixfoot-long water trough below. Students were disqualified if it took them longer than 45 sec- Marbles onds to set up their contraption.

For some, there was utter failure. "This is very painful for some of the people who have worked for weeks on their projects and have seen them run perfectly in said David G. Wilson, who dreamed up the contest. The more complicated machines sometimes refused to leave the starting gate or fell apart in flight. Wilson said this demonstrated Murphy's law: if something can go wrong, it will.

The winner was Thomas S. Birney of Elizabethtown, Pa. His pully aparatus, made from pieces of straw, a paper clip and a few other odds and ends. sent his marble flying into the highest numbered gate, 76, in the lowest time, 2.07 seconds. It took about three hours to build.

"And I don't even play marbles," he said. ROSE HILL FUNERAL HOMES, inc. DIGNITY SERVICE ECONOMY PHONE: 529-3381 580 ELM STREET, ROCKY HILL CT. A. E.
