Poli and a spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association have been invited to testify. The National Transportation Safety Board, an independent agency that investigates air crashes, decided unanimously Tuesday to investigate the air traffic control system with a fact-finding report to be completed within eight weeks.

Board member Patricia Goldman said the move was in response "to a public concern" about air safety after two-thirds of the normal air traffic controller corps was fired for engaging in the illegal strike that began Aug. 3. "There is no question that the public is nervous and frightened because of the reports" about recent air incidents, Mrs. Goldman said in an interview Tuesday. Lewis also announced formation of a three-man task force to examine long range management-labor problems within the FAA's controller operations.

In other developments Tuesday: Controller jobs sought by 24 in South Bend Twenty-four people have applied so far to test in South Bend for air traffic controller jobs, according to a count by the federal government's Indianapolis Office of Personnel and Management. Figures released Tuesday afternoon by Marlin Tammen, area manager for that office, indicated that those people may also be interested in assuming the jobs of the 29 controllers who struck Michiana Regional Airport on Aug. 3. Although many controllers, statewide, have yet to be officially fired following President Reagan's edict, people are lining up for those jobs. Telephone operators at the federal job information center in Indianapolis have been very busy answering questions about how and where to test for air controller training, Tammen said.

The 24 "scheduling cards" were among 600 the office has received so far. Once all the cards are received, a test will be scheduled for the South Bend area, Tammen said. More names will likely come in with approach of an Aug. 28 (postmark) deadline set by the office, Tammen said. The written test is designed to weed out those who are qualified for actual air traffic controller schooling.

APC favors zoning change for mall addition A proposed addition to North Village Mall is closer to reality today as the Area Plan Commission Tuesday night favorably recommended zoning changes for the land. The rezoning changes the site to commercial zoning to allow its use as a shopping mall.

The addition will extend the mall building south by 156 feet, adding 19,500 square feet of retail space. Architect Thomas Panzica said the number of new stores has not been determined yet. However, construction is tentatively scheduled to start in late fall. The commission favorably recommended rezoning of property at 113 E. Chestnut, New Carlisle, from multi-family to general buisness, to allow its use as a parking lot.

The lot is expected to provide 33 additional parking spaces for the petitioner, National Bank and Trust Co. The commission approved preliminary plat for Walters County Estates, a proposed subdivision at the southeast corner of Harrison and Basswood. The 6.5-acre plat, currently used for a retention basin, will contain seven lots. The commission gave an unfavorable recommendation to the proposed vacation of an east-west alley south of Fairview between Apple and Beech. Libyan attack unprovoked: U.S.

Continued from Page one were attacked by two Libyan SU-22 fighter aircraft. "After being fired upon, the F-14s from the aircraft carrier Nimitz took action in response and shot down both Libyan aircraft. "The U.S. government is protesting through diplomatic channels this unprovoked attack, which occurred in international airspace over 60 nautical miles from the nearest land." Hamilton said he had no other details. The F-14 is the most advanced U.S.

carrier-based fighter and uses the sophisticated Phoenix missile in its primary mission of defending the fleet from air attack. Its fire-control system permits it to shoot at a number of attacking planes simultaneously. The Nimitz is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the biggest afloat, displacing over 90,000 tons and normally carrying about 100 aircraft of various types. Soviet bloc urges neutron weapon ban GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) The Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies are urging the 40-nation Geneva disarmament conference to draft an international treaty banning "production, stockpiling, deployment and use of nuclear neutron weapons." Chief Soviet delegate Victor Issraelyan charged Tuesday that President Reagan's decision to go ahead with production of neutron warheads has brought "nuclear war closer to us." The United States and Canada accused the Soviet Union of hypocritcally ignoring its own vast nuclear potential. At last report, the United States had 25 Naval ships in its Mediterranean 6th Fleet.

It was not known how many ships are involved in the exercise. According to Pentagon officials, the United States on Aug. 12 issued a routine "notice to mariners" that the 6th Fleet would be conducting exercises in international waters Aug. 18-19. Since then, officials said, the U.S.

Foreign Broadcast Intercept Service, which monitors radio news and other broadcasts, recorded Libyan statements protesting the U.S. exercise. However, the officials said, they know of no official Libyan diplomatic protest to the U.S. government. The "notice to mariners" said there would be an open-ocean missile-firing exercise.

Two Navy carrier battle groups were said to be involved in the exercise. Officials said they believed the other carrier was the Forrestal. Libya's leader, Col. Moammar a Khadafy, is a hard-line Arab leader who has been strongly, critical of U.S. policies.

in Middle East. particularly the U.S.-sponsored Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt. For many years, Libya has used its large oil revenues to buy weapons from the Soviet Union and elsewhere and has one of the most modern and powerful stockpiles of arms among Arab countries. 10:15 A.M.

The protest ended at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday. John Enders, president of the Flight Safety Foundation, said controllers from Portugal, Spain, France and Italy would meet Friday to draft a global boycott proposal to be considered the next day by the International Federation of Controller Associations. Representatives of several private groups were to present proposals to the Transportation Department today for expanding the training program for new controllers. The government says it has received 45,042 applications for the jobs.
