70 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Thursday, September 15, 1977 Divers Find Body In Marina 'CHiPs' Off A Bad Block 7W Stamford Hospital for treatment to protect against possible infections because of the polluted water. Coast Guard Finds Marijuana on Ship BOSTON (AP) The U.S. Coast Guard escorted a 73-foot Honduran vessel into Boston Wednesday, which it had seized at sea after finding a large amount of marijuana on board. The Juliana I was seized Monday about 10 p.m. about 120 miles northeast of here by the Coast Guard cutter Active.

The Coast Guard said the vessel was not flying a flag of registration which is in violation of admiralty laws. Upon boarding the vessel, the boarding party found an undetermined amount of marijuana on board. Tags' in Explosives Urged To Aid Probes WASHINGTON (UPI) Chemical "tags" in explosives could speed investigation of terrorist bombings, an expert told Congress Wednesday. A. Atley Peterson of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee explosive manufacturers should be required to include chemical additives which can survive detonation.

Such chemical tagging, Peterson said, would provide vital clues to the source of the explosive and help lead investigators to those responsible for bombings. took their eyes off the child "for a second" when it happened. The father and several others on sailboats at the marina immediately jumped into the water but couldn't find the boy, hampered by visibility of only about a foot, police said. Marine officers without gear were later joined by police divers, who unsuccessfully searched for the body for several hours late Tuesday before resuming the search Wednesday, police said. Police said many of the divers had to be taken to STAMFORD Police scuba divers Wednesday morning found the body of a 16-month-old boy who drowned after falling overboard from his family's sailboat at a marina here late Tuesday, police said.

The body of Zeb Hoyt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hoyt of New York City, was found at 11:58 a.m. in polluted water at the Schooner Cove Marina in the east section of Stamford Harbor, police said. The boy fell overboard about 8:15 p.m.

No doubt this too is meant as comic relief. But relief from What? The glue scene may well stand as the show's crowning achievement, a gem in camp humor.

Other "CHiPs" partisans may disagree violently with this assessment, preferring the banal dialogue in the boy-meets-girl auto wreck rescue scene. As the French would say in a question of taste like this: each to his own liking, or "chacun a son glue." "CHiPs" may well have the capacity to get even worse. Already, it makes last season's bummer of a cop show, the late, unla-mented "Holmes Yoyo," seem as classy as "Masterpiece Theatre." "CHiPs" debuts tonight at 8 on WHNB-TV Channel 30. Cardinal Felici Named Vatican Court Chief VATICAN CITY (UPI) -Pope Paul VI named Cardinal Pericle Felici of Italy Wednesday as chief of the Vatican's highest judicial court, the Signatura Tribunal of the Roman Curia. Felici, 66, succeeds Cardinal Fino Staffa who died last month.

UJ JV5JL By OWEN McNALLY "CHiPs," the throbbing saga of two young motorcycle patrolmen, roars across the screen tonight on NBC and slams into top contention at the most dreadful series of the new season. CHiPs stand for the California Highway Patrol. You'll remember that since the whole show seems like an hour-long ad for the California Highway Patrol which, did indeed, cooperate in (or conspired in) the show's production. Our heroes are two rough-and-ready guys, Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox) and "Ponch" Poncherello (Erik Estrada). Jon is ever diligent and never gets in trouble.

Ponch is his devil-may-care, cycle sidekick who's always getting in trouble over his crazy stunts with his ever-suffering sergeant (Robert Pine). Actually, the two main characters should have been named Bob and Weave since that's how they spend almost all their time, bobbing and weaving through traffic jams. One salutory effect of all this bobbing and weaving is that the show has a very low violence quotient. There's little time for beating and shooting. Our heroes spend most of their time battling traffic jams, writing up road violations and ogling pretty girls in sports cars.

It's certainly a far cushier gig than, say, poor Baretta who gets his brains scrambled almost once a week and has little time for biking and philandering while on the job. On tonight's premiere, Officers Bob and Weave, as we shall call them, set out to crack a sophisticated car theft ring. Along the way, our bikers in blue have several adventures and misadventures on the road. Weave, the fearless daredevil, rescues a fair damsel in distress whose car has run off the highway and overturned. It looks serious.

Perhaps she's dead, pinned in the wreckage. But have no fear, for Officer Weave is here! No doubt the young woman will be more jolted by his good looks than by any mere brain concussion she may have suffered in the accident. Help is on the way, Weave assures her. "If I know those guys, they'll be here before I 1 Li-i fc round trip Don't plan a trip to Phoenix or Tucson until you know.about TWA's incredible new Super Saver fare.

And on it goes. Obviously, the lovely accident victim is falling for this handsome Rex of all wrecks.
