Air Force F-4s from CI; Air Base, 50 miles north Iw la, roared over the city Friday, halting rebel air attacks after rebel planes and helicopters raided the presidential palace, military camps and a TV station earlier in the day. Mutineers withdrew from government television and Villamor late Friday after U.S. jets flew air cover. But the rebels marched with armored vehicles through the night toward Camp Aguinaldo, their ranks swelled by marines from Fort Bonifacio. The U.S.

air action enabled the government to consolidate its forces and block rebels from moving against the palace and other points in the capital. A senior U.S. official said in Washington that it appeared 300 rebels were confronting about 2,000 troops Saturdav near a major intersection, but thei was some expectation of a negotiated settlement to avoid bloodshed. He said Mrs. Aquino was in the presidential palace and "very well protected." Gen.

Renato de Villa, military chief of staff, said the sixth coup attempt against Mrs. Aquino had failed. Manila radio stations broadcast a statement from her Friday night saying the "enemy is routed but is not yet vanquished." None of the mutinous soldiers questioned would say who directed the revolt. Rebel sources said the leaders included renegade Lt. Col.

Gre-gorio "Gringo" Honasan, who headed an August 1987 coup attempt in which at least 53 people were killed. One hundred U.S. Marines were sent from an American base to help protect the U.S. Embassy. Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams said no U.S.

planes "fired any shots or intercepted any rebel aircraft." "President Aquino's request was very specific to conduct an aggressive cap over two Philippine air bases, Villamor and Sangley Point," the administration official said, on condition of anonymity. Sharp Calls Oil Well New Spindletop AUSTIN (AP) Railroad Commissioner John Sharp on Friday visited the largest oil-producing well in Texas, and called it a "new Spindletop" for the state, a reference to the oil field that boomed near Beaumont in 1901. Sharp's visit took him to Pearsall in Zavala County, about 60 miles south of San Antonio. The Leta Glasscock No. 10 was producing 185 barrels a day in September, but after producer Charlie Winn of Eagle Pass spent more than $1 million to drill the well horizontally tests showed the well has the potential to produce more than 5,400 barrels a day.

However, according to a statement from commission chairman Kent Hance's office, early indications are that the well would be restricted to producing 1,312 barrels per day to avoid early depletion and drainage from nearby fields. "This well is as significant to the future economy of Texas as Spindletop was to our past," Sharp HIU ill 11 1 1 IV 1 IV. With the new expected production levels, the well will contribute more than $330,000 a year in severance taxes and $7.2 million in economic benefits, Sharp said.

"Enhanced oil recovery, especially horizontal drilling, will help make our state again a major world player in the energy market place, Sharp said.

Funeral arrangements are pending at Artero Memorial Chapels. SUMMIT Continued from Page 1 A nents," Gorbachev said at Luqa Airport on his arrival just before midnight. Gorbachev flew from Italy several hours after a historic meeting with Pope Paul II at the Vatican, where he said Russians "have a right to satisfy their spiritual and pledged swift adoption of a new religious law guaranteeing freedom of worship. Before leaving Italy, Gorbachev offered his clearest endorsement yet of the changes in Eastern Europe. He told a news conference in Milan that the "Prague Spring" reform movement of 1968 was "right at that time and is right now." But he stopped short of an apology for the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia that put dowii the reform movement in 1968.

He said it must be viewed in the context of an accelerating arms race and an ideological struggle between East and West at that time. Beyond promising religious tolerance, Gorbachev said the Kremlin will establish diplomatic ties with the Vatican. He invited the Pope to pay a visit to the Soviet Union officially an atheist nation although no date was announced. Bush talked of the Philippines as well as the summit. "I strongly support Mrs.

Aquino and she knows it," he said. He said the situation in Manila "sounds maybe a little better but hard to tell." During a brief visit to the American aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal, Bush called Gorbachev "a dynamic new Soviet leader willing to think anew. "And we want him to succeed," the president said. "Because we do admire the people in the Soviet Union. And we know that ours is an historic opportunity to foster the peace." He presented the Forrestal's crew with a piece of the crumbling Berlin Wall as "a symbol of the peace we seek." He watched a demonstration of warplanes being catapulted off the deck and screeching into the sky.

A thunderous sonic boom from an F-14 caught him by surprise, and Bush's knees buckled and he ducked. He recovered quickly with a sheepish grin and a funny face for cameras. Gorbachev delivered his promise of religious freedom as he joined the pope at a news conference in the Vatican. "People of many confessions, including Christians, Moslems, Jews, Buddhists and others live in the Soviet Union," the Kremlin leader said. "All of then have a right to satisfy their spiritual needs." He said a freedom of conscience law would be adopted soon.

The pope called the meeting a "promise-filled sign for the future" and pledged support for Gorbachev's efforts to overhaul Soviet society. The Malta summit is the first superpower meeting since Gorbachev met then-President Ronald Reagan in New York last December. Bush attended that meeting as vice president. Bush and Secretary of State James A. Baker III will lead a six-person U.S.

delegation, while Gorbachev and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze will lead the eight-person Soviet team. Bush, who is expected to make the opening presentation Saturday, convened a meeting in the Belknap wardroom of senior U.S. advisers, focusing on issues "which will demonstrate the U.S. desire for progress and improvement in East-West relations," said White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater, For his quarters, Bush took over the admiral's three-room suite, furnished with deep blue carpeting, leather furniture and a mahogany desk with U.S. and Soviet flags in a holder.

A new brass plaque was on. the door, reading, "President Bush." Echoing statements by U.S. officials, a top Soviet spokesman said Friday he doubted that any agreements would be signed during the summit. "I think President Bush is right when he says there will be no concrete agreement signed during the actual meeting," said Valentin Falin, head of the International Department of the Soviet Communist Party. But Falin, an architect of Soviet policy toward Europe, hinted that Gorbachev would press Bush toward accords on banning nuclear weapons from the Mediterranean Sea, which the United States opposes, and for coping with political changes sweep- ing Eastern Europe, fairs, suggested that "perhaps she is a naive person who has been used by" leftist rebels who cached the explosives and ammunition at the house, and that "unfortunately she was found in the house at the In San Salvador, Cristiani said at a news conference, "We feel tha't anybody that breaks the laws in this country, no matter what nationality they are, should be submitted to the judicial process." "If there is enough proof, and apparently in this case there is, in order to start a judicial process, one will be started," he said.

Of former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who was in El Salvador to advise Casolo, Cristiani said: "If he is involved in any way in the politics of El Salvador, then his permit 'visa) will be re'oked Casolo, 28, has maintained, she is innocent of any military connection with the FMLN rebels. She works in El Salvador as a representative of the San Antonio. Texas-based Christian Education Seminars, providing tours for Americans who come to see and study the country. She was arrested a week ago after Salvadoran officials, acting on a tip from a captured rebel, dug up the back yard of the house she had been renting for the past three months and found dynamite and thousands of rounds of rifle ammunition. Friends suggested she was framed by the Salvadoran government, but the Bush administration took a different view.

White House press secretary Mar-lin Fitzwater said Monday, "This is hardly a case of a someone having a few things flipped in their shopping bag on the way home." And the Justice Department began reviewing the case to determine if she broke the U.S. Neutrality Act. Fitzwater took a softer approach Wednesday, saying U.S. officials were "monitoring her case closely to assure she is well treated. SALVADOR (Continued from Page 1A) arms Nicaragua, and the issue is on the agenda for the weekend summit off Malta between President Bush and Mikhail S.

Gorbachev. One soldier and one guerrilla were reported wounded at Tonacatepeque, 10 miles north of San Salvador. Cristiani said a state of siege imposed after the start of the offensive would not be lifted until violence subsided. The rules restrict freedoms, including freedom of the press. "The situation is critical in the sense there is still danger pf the FMLN continuing the terrorist activities in the city that have endangered the lives of Salvadorans," Cristiani said.

"But in no way is the crisis to be defined as the government of El Salvador is in danger. "Maybe the president is in danger but the institution of the government is not in danger of being taken over by a small armed group being supported by the outside with no popular support inside the country." San Salvador's mayor asked residents to forgo the custom of setting off fireworks over the Christmas holiday because people were nervous from the combat. Residents of the exclusive Escalon neighborhood began repairing houses that were shot up when guerrillas took over about 40 homes there and in another wealthy district Wednesday. Some residents closed their homes and went abroad or to visit relatives. American citizens were evacuated from the area during a cease-fire the rebels declared Thursday.

More than 200 U.S. Embassy dependents and private citizens left El Salvador on a charter flight. In Washington, the State Department said two of the damaged homes were occupied by Americans. No residents were reported hurt in any of the bouses. Soldiers from El Salvador's toughest battalions patrolled the streets of Escalon and surrounding neighborhoods in case of more rebel attacks.

Streets were littered with spent cartridges, burned-out luxury cars and downed power lines. Guerrillas, following their usual pattern, withdrew under cover of darkness, leaving a few snipers behind. Soldiers of the Atlacatl Battalion burned a guerrilla's body and dumped it headfirst into a mesh trash basket outside one of the fortified mansions in Escalon. A crude cardboard sign with a skull and crossbones scrawled on it was jammed in next to the body. It said the Atlacal does not take prisoners.

"There is no man, no law that holds us back," the sign said. A soldier said of the guerrilla: "He thought he'd scare us. We burned him." Women Hurt In Accident Two Mission women were treated and released at Citizens Medical Center Friday night following a traffic accident on Houston Highway at its intersection with the new section of Zac Lentz Parkway. The victims were Sophia Calderon, 72, and Lydia Veliz, 48. WASHINGTON (AP) Two Salvadoran officials had kind words Friday for an American woman who was arrested in San Salvador after a weapons cache was found here she lives.

They suggested she had merely been used by rebels, but Salvadoran President Alfredo Cristiani indicated in San Salvador that judicial process" was called for. Col. Carlos Amando Aviles, a spokesman for the Salvadoran military, told a news conference at the National Press Club that he knows the woman, Jennifer J.

Suits Shifted to Federal Court The federal government's newest agency controlling failed thrifts. Resolution Trust has cited a new precedent favoring its authority to move all suits involving failed thrifts to the federal court system. Such a precedent could have an effect on more than a half-dozen cases involving failed thrifts on the federal court docket in Victoria. In its arguments filed in federal court in Victoria, the RTC asked the court to deny a motion by investor Curtis Reece Jr. to transfer a dispute involving the failed Victoria Savings back to state district court.

Reece, one of three defendants in the dispute, had contended that the dispute belonged in state district court. The new federal agency, however, cited a Sept. 25 decision by U.S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer, in the Northern District of Texas, that upheld the legal authority conveyed by Congress to the RTC in Aug. 9 legislation.

That new law, known as the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act, created the RTC and provided "an across-the-board basis for jurisdiction in all suits to which the RTC is a party," the agency contended. Under its Congressional authority, the new agency could intervene in any suit involving failed thrifts, the -a RTC pointed out. Buchmeyer's decision, in Aoki American Inc. vs. FSLIC, ruled that the law, effective Aug.

9, must be applied retroactively to any order of remand made after that date by a federal court. If a case had been transferred to state district court after Aug. 9, the RTC had the right to transfer the case a second time to the federal courts, the decision said. Fatality Probed Police were investigating a fatality accident Friday night on Loop 175 in the vicinity of Hill Road. The accident was reported at approximately 9 40 p.m.
