The board, which conducted a Joint Investigation with the Coast Guard of the May 14 sinking about 240 miles north of Puerto Rico, found that the skipper, Capt. Armln E.

"The most Important thing to me ls not to get Isolated from people," Governor Schaefer said during the 25-mlnute speech that followed a simple swearing-in ceremony Inside the marble-walled chamber of the state Senate. "I do not expect to stay in Annapolis every part of this great state Is going to see and hear from me. No place, no matter how small or how distant, will be beyond my personal touch. We're not going to sit we're going to move and we're going to travel." Mr.

Meese III has expressed support for a staff proposal seeking to overturn the key Supreme Court decision requiring the police to inform criminal suspects of their legal rights, Justice Department officials said yesterday. Mr.

Meese, prompted by an internal department report prepared last February, probably will seek a Supreme Court review of the decision, in Miranda vs. Arizona, should an appropriate case be brought before the court, the officials said. "The interesting question is not whether Miranda should go, but how we should facilitate its demise, and what we should replace it with," the 128-page report said. "We regard a challenge to Miranda as essential." Mr. Meese and other law enforcement officials have said that the court's ruling has hindered criminal investigations, preventing the police from obtaining confessions and other important information from suspects.

But civil liberties groups say that Miranda, with its strict guidelines on the treatment of people suspected of crimes, was a major advance for individual rights and a blow to coercive police tactics. And some said yesterday that the Supreme Court, despite its more conservative nature, would be jnlUely to reverse the 1966 ruling.

In the Jan. 4 crash, a string of three Conrall locomotives barreled through two signals telling It to slow and stop before the engineer belatedly threw on the emergency brake.

But in a sign of a significant price turnaround, energy prices went up 0.3 percent last month, although they were still 30.7 percent below their level of December 1985. Since the recent increase in oil prices, spurred by production cuts by oil-producing nations, the downward pressure on consumer prices felt in 1986 has abated. Without the steep drop in energy costs, consumer prices would have risen 3.8 percent last year, matching the 1985 level.

Cardin, 62, who kept his head bowed during most of the 80-mlnute hearing, appeared to be stunned as the sentence was pronounced.
