Skipper Ron Fowling of New Bedford and cine other crew members were safely hoisted from the vessel in a basket and Sown to Otis Air Force Base at Bourne. One crew member suffered a minor hand injury but the others were unhurt, Toscano said. The rescue as conducted in seas of 20 to 25 feet, with winds gusting to 40 knots and visibility at six miles.

The disabled boat was last reported about 70 miles southeast of Nantucket, about 15 miles east of the Nantucket Lightship. The Coast Guard sent its cutter Cape Horn from Boston to check on whether the boat was still afloat and if it could be towed to shore. But shortly after 8:30 a.m., the cutter was ordered back to Boston because of storm conditions, Toscano said. The rescue unit then planned to send an airplane to the area but had to postpone the flight until Monday because of high winds. By mid-afternoon, no other vessels in the area had reported seeing the boat, the spokesman said.

Si reels Named For Commandos HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AP) Five streets at Hurlburt Field Air Force base have been renamed for commandos from the base who were killed in the abortive attempt to rescue the American hostages in Iran. Maj. Gen. Gerald Carey, commander of Eglin Air Force Base's Tactical Air Warfare Center, told more than 300 people on Friday that the men "made a sacrifice for the entire nation" in the April 24 rescue attempt.

Renaming the streets will "remind us of that sacrifice," he said. Nuke Plant Opponents Pessimistic of Hearing Weekend Quiet, Still at Volcano VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) Mount St. Helens remained quiet Sunday, with only one small earthquake detected under the volcano during the weekend. Scientists near the volcano reported only occasional wisps of steam breaking through the clouds covering the volcano's crater.

A quake too small to be assigned a magnitude on the Richter Scale was recorded at 11:09 p.m. Saturday, said Steve Walter of the University of Washington geophysics center. "We've been getting straight lines all day," said Walter, referring to the seismograph recordings. The volcano's inactivity was in sharp contrast to that of a week eaMier, when it hurled ash and steam five times in less than 48 hours. The volcano, which reawakened in March after a 123-year dormancy, slipped back into a quiet cycle early last week without the usual signals, geologists said.

Mount St. Helens traditionally has signaled the end of an eruptive phase with a series of deep earthquakes, caused when the molten material in the volcano's magma chamber settles, said Susan Russell-Robinson of the U.S. Geological Survey. Such quakes have not been detected since the latest eruption.

The five congressmen indicted in the Abscam investigation Imperial Valley quake was far more destructive than believed possible, and that the Hosgri fault could also cause such a quake. The Pacific Electric and Gas which will operate Diablo Canyon, contended that the Hosgrl fault could not muster an earthquake larger than 7.3 on the Richter scale.

The company also said the power plant could withstand a earthquake of that caliber without sustaining damage, and that geological differences made comparison with the Imperial Valley quake pointless.

"We'll know something on Monday," said Wright, adding that the company had been selling the product, which comes in cans, for more than a year without incident.

The problem arose Saturday when James Reeves, 36, reported that he found glass in the bottom of his tumbler when he mixed himself a drink from a tin of mix he had bought the previous week. Upon further inspection, Reeves said he discovered about two dozen slivers of glass in the bottom of the chocolate mix can. Reeves was not injured.

Edmund G. Brown appealed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's decision last October that the Diablo Canyon plant was earthquake safe. Two weeks after the NRC decision an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale hit the Imperial Valley, some 300 miles to the southeast, and caused $18 million in damages. The nuclear power opponents said in their challenge that the OR American Killed in Avalanche PEKING (AP) An American mountain climber said Sunday that an avalanche swept four other American climbers 1.500 feet down a remote Chinese mountain, killing one and injuring the other three. "It is a miracle that any of them survived," said Lance Owens of Los Angeles.

"They were swept over 60-foot cliffs and through ice chutes." The dead climber was identified as Jonathan Wright of Colorado, a free-lance cameraman covering the expedition for the ABC television network. The other members of the group were identified as Kim Schmitz of Squaw Valley, Calif, suffering a sprained back; Yvon Chouinard of Ventura, suffering broken ribs and Rick Ridgeway, also of Ventura, slightly injured. -SERVICE SWEEPER CO.

Hitchhiking stations, which consist of benches shielded from the sun by simple tin shelters, are frequent targets of Arab saboteurs, but the bombs usually are discovered before they go off. Sunday's charge was hidden behind the shelter and blew a two-foot hole in the ground.

The explosion caused a massive traffic jam on the four-lane highway connecting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. In Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv, a bomb exploded at a bus stop across from the city's soccer stadium, and one Arab was slightly wounded police said. Scores of Arabs in the area were rounded up for questioning about the incident, but most were released by midday. In the West Bank, saboteurs blew up the main water line leading to the Jewish settlement of Bet Horon, near the Arab town of Ramallah north of Jerusalem, police said. A length of pipe apparently was destroyed by a mine, and the army provided emergency water supplies to the settlement.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (AP) After six days of conflicting testimony, hearings on the earthquake safety of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant have ended with opponents of the plant doubtful of the outcome. The Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board closed its hearings Saturday on the ability of the nearly completed $2 billion plant to withstand an earthquake shock from the offshore Hosgrl fault, three miles away. "I am not optimistic that this appeal board Is going to find in our favor," said lawyer David Flelschaker of Washington, D.C., who represented opponents of nuclear power who intervened in the case.

and Raymond F. Lederer. D-Pa. They are accused of accepting money from FBI agents posing as Arab representatives willing to pay bribes for legislative help. Myers and Jenrette were convicted of bribery and conspiracy charges but are appealing.

Myers became the only person ever to be expelled from Congress because of criminal charges. Two men hurt by morals incidents are Reps. Robert Bau-man. R-Md who admitted he had homosexual tendencies and pleaded innocent to soliciting sex with a teenage boy. and Jon Hinson, who says he was falsely accused of an "ob scene act" at a homosexual hangout.

None of the seven including Myers, who was seen on nationally televised videotapes this month taking a $50,000 payoff faces sure defeat. Myers' re-election is being aided by several ward leaders and black officials who openly hope to pick their own candidate to replace him if he goes to jail after the election. And some of Myers' constituents say he will get their votes despite his conviction. "He did take money but that doesn't bother me," said Rich Francollno, a bartender. "If someone offered you $50,000, it would be awful hard to refuse, too.

I can't blame Ozzie for being human." Philadelphia's Democratic leaders are backing Myers' independent opponent, Thomas Foglietta, who has changed his registration to Democrat. Jenrette considered dropping his re-election effort in South Carolina after his Abscam conviction, but he decided to stay in the race with the promise that he would resign from Congress if he loses his appeal and has to go to jail. Recent polls give his Republican opponent, John Napier, the edge but the race is still considered too close to predict. Also in re-election trouble are Murphy and Thompson, who have been indicted on bribery charges but will not be tried until after the election. Thompson has been elected to Congress 12 times and Murphy 9.

Their prospects are rated a tossup this year. In campaigning, both vigorously deny any wrongdoing, but their opponents are using Abscam as an issue against them. Republican Christopher Smith has radio ads In the Trenton, N.J., race saying Thompson is "fighting for just one thing to get himself out of the mess he got himself into in Washington." In the Staten Island, N.Y., race, Republican State Assem- cused Murphy of trying to exploit sympathy by getting his trial delayed and then creating "the vision that he's a martyr and that he is the victim of a conspiracy." Lederer, the fifth congressman charged in Abscam, appears to have the best chance for re-election. He has strong support in his district and has raised nearly $150,000 for his campaign. The sex charges are issues In both the Bauman and Hinson reelection campaigns but it is not clear how damaging they will be.

A poll conducted immediately after Bauman dislosed the charge against him showed him trailing his opponent 51 percent to 29 percent. But Bauman later said his own polls show him ahead. Hinson says his own poll in September showed him leading 45 percent to 33 percent for his opponents combined, with 22 percent of the voters undecided.

The Palestine Liberation Organization claimed responsibility for that attack and two other bombings that injured one person slightly- Authorities said three soldiers were hospitalized with moderate wounds from the blast at a popular hitchhiking station on the highway to Tel Aviv. The rest were treated for light injuries and released, they said. Two other bombs went off Sunday, one near Tel Aviv and one in the occupied West Bank, wounding one person and severing a water line.

In Beirut, Lebanon, the Palestinian news agency Wafa quoted a PLO spokesman as saying the attacks were in retaliation against Israeli raids on Palestinian bases in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army said it apprehended a Palestinian man who threw a hand grenade at a military patrol in the West Bank. village of Tsurif. After clamping a curfew on the village, the army said it found another grenade in the suspect's house. No one was hurt.

Police sources said the explosions may have been timed to coincide with Sunday's departure for Egypt of President Yitzhak Navon, Israel's first head of state to visit an Arab country. Navon's trip, at the invitation ot President Anwar Sadat, symbolized the peaceful relations between Israel and Egypt, a cause of deep resentment Free electronic hearing tests will be given at The Beltone Hearing Aid Service Monday, Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5p.m. Factory trained hearing aid specialists will be at the service listed below to perform the tests.
