Belfast Adjusts By THOMAS CHEATHAM BELFAST (UPI) The poster on the wall of the building entrance shows a man lying dead in a pool of blood, the crosshairs of a telescopic sniper's sight fixed on him.

"Vigilance is the price of life," it says in big black letters. "Don't be a murder victim." There are a few things to remember about increasing your chances of staying alive at home and on the streets in Belfast. The poster ticks off the most important ones: sure you know what's outside your door before you open it. your movements, times and routes. sure someone knows your timetable.

going out at night. out for suspicious cars. standing on street corners and under street lights." It's no way to live. But 1.5 million Northern Irish have learned to live with it, and die with it, through almost six years of bombings, assassinations, kidnap ings, car hijackings, and terror. A man's home isn't exactly his castle in Belfast.

Gunmen still come visiting for contributions. The British army has a tendency not to knock if it thinks you've got something to hide. Follow a pattern to or from work, or even to the supermarket, and you're asking for trouble. Assassins from the other side of the conflict are watching your routine and may set an ambush. Going downtown is itself a risky business.

The few shops and buildings still untouched have their windows screened and a row of cement-filled barrels out front to keep cars with bombs away. The shopping district is a fortress. Its entrances are blocked by 10-foot steel gates. Soldiers are waiting to check your bags and body for hidden explosives. Cars are banned.

Signs on 'the blue doubledeck- er Ulster buses urge you to "stop violence" by calling a confidential telephone number with anything that may be of interest to authorities. Housewives tend to dart from shop to shop in a hurry and get back home quickly, for the Irish Republican Army tends to favor commercial targets in what it describes as its economic war. The IRA cease-fire lessened the fear and anxiety but not the precautions. Shoppers relaxed and spent more time buying. Fighting terrorism is a million-dollar business.

Vast security companies have thrived in Northern Ireland. There isn't a downtown shop without a man at the door who, like the soldiers before him, wants to look in your briefcase and frisk. Property Tax Revenue Added Lebanon County real estate owners will ante up $5,062,710 in county and municipal taxes during 1975, according to figures released by chief county assessor Freeman Rice. The county's share of the $5,062,710 will be $3,192,461. This figure is based on an 11.8- mills tax rate applied to the county's total assessed valuation of $270,547,600 in taxable real estate.

Rice said the total assessed valuation for 1975 is an approximate hike over last year and over the preceding year. The statistics compiled by Rice list a total of 35,934 properties on the tax rolls and 1,979 mobile homes. The total assessed value of mobile homes is $4,292,050. The taxable real estate in the city will yield $900,611 for the city's treasury and $708,480 for the county treasury.

A search for more survivors or victims was under way today. The search could take days. One blast was so strong it hurled one of the victims' bodies to the roof of a warehouse 300 yards away. At least 33 persons were injured, including several firemen, in the series of explosions and fires that broke out after two tankers, the Corinthos with a Greek crew of 41 and the American tanker Edgar M. Queeny, collided.

'The entire main deck of the Corinthos was aflame," said George Peroulakis, 28, its chief officer. "I saw two men completely engulfed in fire jumping over the side. I saw 20 other of my crew leap into the water." About 350 area residents were forced to leave their homes after the series of explosions rocked this Delaware County community, shattering windows in their houses and knocking doors off their hinges. Two of the dead were unidentified. The third was Mousa Toufic, 23, believed to have been aboard the Corinthos.

One man was critically injured. Six others were hospitalized and the rest of the injured were treated and released. The Coast Guard late Friday began trying to clean up the pollution in the river resulting from a spill of 315,000 barrels of Algerian crude oil from the Corinthos after the collision. Tandy Corp.

Dike is about 8 months old. Call after 10 a.m. (Photo by George Kurteson) HARRISBURG (UPI) Traffic deaths declined by more than 11 per cent in Pennsylvania last year, but Transportation Secretary Jacob Kassab said that is no reason for drivers to let their guard down. Preliminary figures show 2,141 fatalities in 1,916 accidents that included 141 motorcyclists, 56 bicyclists and 427 pedestrains according to an analysis released by the Transportation Department Friday. In 1973, there were 2,444 people killed in 2,138 accidents that included 150 motorcyclists, 40 bicyclists and 500 pedestrians according to PennDOT.

"It would be wrong to attribute the decline in fatalities just to the decreased speed limit," Kassab said. "Other factors, particularly less travel and safer cars and roads, are also important." According to Kassab, gasoline consumption was down 5 per cent last year. That indicated that travel was down. He also said only 2,000 of the state's 100,000 miles of highway were affected by the reduction of the speed limit to 55 m.p.h. "Since only limited access expressways were involved in the speed limit drop, and since these roads have the lowest accident rate of all highway types, it would be wrong to attribute all of the reduction in fatalities to the 55 m.p.h.

speed limit." He said credit should be given to changed driving hab- Nader Asks Denenberg Support HARRISBURG (UPI) -National consumer advocate Ralph Nad-r Friday asked Pennsylvania senators to support Herbert Denenberg when his confirmation vote for a seat on the Public Utility Commission comes up Monday. "As insurance commissioner, Dr. Denenberg was an inspiration and innovator for the consumer movement throughout the country," Nader said in a letter to the senators. "He showed a public servant can work effectively to help consumers and tame special interests." Denenberg is needed on the PUC, according to Nader, because, "Something must be done about these utilities, prices and practices just as something was done about health, auto and other forms of insurance under Commissioner of Insurance Denenberg." The consumer advocate said it is not surprising "that powerful corporate and professional interests do not like consumers to have access to the same facts and legal rights which they employ to advance their interests. "What is surprising," he said, "is that any elected representatives would listen to these powerful corporate and professional interests." Nader's letter closed with what appeared to be a warning.

"On behalf of many consumers within and without Pennsylvania I urge you to confirm Dr. Denenberg. If you do, it will be a memorable decision. And if you do not, it will also be a memorable decision, "Nader said. its, lower speed limits, safer cars and safer highways.

"While I believe the 55 m.p.h. speed limit is saving fuel and saving some lives, I think it would be wrong to give it all the credit and not continue to work for safer drivers, safer cars and safer highways," he said.
