the earth, and all the other planets to move along their path around the hub of the Milky Way to a point where obscuring clouds of interstellar dust no longer block the view. Reporting the discovery today were Hyron Spinrad, Robert Landau, Wallace L. W. Sargent, John C. Oke, Gerry eu a and James E.

'Largest Member' Evidence from both the observatories suggests that one of the new galaxies Maffei 1 may be bigger than the Milky Way and thus may be the largest member of the local family. Astronomers are able to observe a total number of galaxies est im a in the tens of billions. Most of those beyond the local group are too distant for telescopes to discern nmch detail, so astronomers would welcome a clear view of a new, nearby galaxy. Interesting as they may be, however, earthbound viewers jects" in infrared photographs he took of the sky near the constellation Cassiopeia two years ago. His report stirred little interest among scientists until Robert Landau, a graduate student in astronomy at the University of California at Berkeley, noticed that Maf-fei's "objects" were in a region of sky where clouds of dust and gas would be expected to blot out the view of any ordinary celestial bodies.

As interest in the objects escalated, established astronomers trained the huge 120-inch telescope atLickOb-servatory, atop Mount Hamilton, toward Maffei's odd smudges. Then the world's small on a cosmic scale, leading the astronomers to believe the two new galaxies are part of a "local" family of five galaxies, one of which is the Milky Way. (The sun is a minor star among tens of billions in the Milky Way galaxy.) 8 Light Minutes A light-year is the distance light travels in one year about six trillion miles. By comparison, the sun is about eight light minutes from earth. The two new-found galaxies are being named Mafi'ei 1 and 2, in recognition of a young Italian astronomer who first ed seeing them as two peculiar 'ob A group of California astronomers reported the apparent discovery today of two immense but previously unknown galaxies of stars in the neighborhoodof the Milky Way.

Although the two newly sighted galaxies appear on 1 pe photographs as dim, oval smudges of light, the astronomers said they had "strong circumstantial evidence" that the smudges were really great swirling clusters of 20 billion stars or more. The new galaxies appear to be about three million light years from earth. Despite the seeming enormity of this distance, it is 1 a i ely This involved $2500 allegedly owed by Robert Piper, 30, oi 724 Harrison San Jose, to Salciecia, not on a gambling debt but for a May 1, 11)70, loan that officials declined to explain. In both indictments, Bonanno and Hartigan appeared to be the "collection" man. 'Struck' Piper In the case involving attempted collection from Piper, the indictment said Hartigan last August struck Piper outside a San Jose cafe.

It also said that in the same month, Bonanno and Hartigan made "a late night visit" to Piper's home, and during the same month, "compelled" him to remain for hours at the Bonanno home. Justice Department attorney Philip It. Michael handled the presentation to the jury. He was an advance member of the strike force that was established hera only last month. Joseph C.

Bonanno 25, son of the reputed "organized crime chieftain, has been accused along with three others of using cxtoi tiouate methods to collect debts including gambling obligations. Bonanno and the others were arrested yesterday morning by FBI agents on secret indictments returned by the Federal Grand Jury here Thursday. Others Arrested A in addition to Bonanno, who lives at 11615 Greenlee San Jose, were; Maurice P. Hartigan, 24, also residing at the Greenlee address; Alfred J. Salciccia, 33, of 457 W.

Chapman Campbell; and Carl E. Eckstein, 39, film editor and producer, of 16U6 25th San Francisco. The indictments were the result of several sessions before the grand jury started last September by the Organized Crime Strike Force. Bonanno, Hartigan and Eckstein were named in one indictment in which they were charged with conspiring to use extortion methods to collect $1660 from Victor Romolo, 48, a San Francisco restaurant employe. Football Bets The debt, according to the U.S.

attorney's office, involved football bets of Jan. 1, 1970, with Eckstein. The other indictment named Bonanno, Hartigan and Salciccia. 6 Shootout9 to Sue State Medi-Cal Cuts CMA Over African Dalllc EAST LONDON (South Africa) (AP) Nineteen persons were killed in a light between rival African groups in the Flagstaff district, police reported today.

In the past three years, undergraduate financial aid to minority students has tripled at Stanford, from $282,000 to $844,000.

All but 11 of the 400 undergraduate minority students now receive some assistance. 'Serious Problem' This aid will increase in the future, as undergraduate enrollment of minority students rises. Also, additional funds will be needed to support increased enrollment of increased minority graduate students, Lyman said.

Stanford is in no position to be "self-righteous, complacent, or sentimental" about its progress on programs for minority students, Lyman declared. The University's African and Afro-American studies program "does a lot with limited resources. "But we cannot be said to have embarked on anything very ambitious in the way of special studies programs designed to acquaint students, whether from minorities or not, with the problems of people of color in America."

Critics of the Reagan Administration contend that the state did not grant the increases. An HEW examiner reached the same conclusion as did U. S. District Judge Alfonso Zirpoli of San Francisco whose ruling is before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

After the Zirpoli ruling, the Reagan Administration adjusted the allowances.

But, the president said, "these additional dollars enable us to do very little more than give wage and salary increases that are generally speaking, wiped out by inflation as soon as they are instituted." Rose Bowl In a lighter vein, President Lyman said that one Stanford alumnus read a Rose Bowl headline, "Stanford: The Swingers' Team" and warned that he would protest the lack of discipline if the team lost. After the Stanford victory, another alumnus predicted complaints that Stanford had become "A jock's paradise, instead of a serious university.
