The better known speakers at the rally, including Nader, actress Jane Fonda, former Rep. Bella Abzug and California Gov.

Ed-mund G. Brown a potential rival of Carter's in next year's pres- idential race, did not attend the White House meeting. Ross told reporters as he emerged from the White House -that Carter made few comments during the 20-25 minute session, promising only to consider their suggestions and nodding in an un- committed way when they called for Schlesinger's removal. Ross said Carter, accompanied by seven aides, complained that many of his actions related to nu- clear development have been thwarted by Congress. said that "although nuclear power is not without problems, we recognize that its benefits are significant.

"I reaffirm my piedge that the United States will be a reliable nuclear supplier under predictable and clearly established non-proliferation safeguards," the president said in his message. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, speaking at the conference, gave an even stronger endorsement of nuclear development. Carter's nuclear energy policies were a target of many of the speakers at the Sunday rally here. One of its coordinators, Donald Ross, said he told Carter at the White House meeting that it was time for the president to replace his pro-nuclear advisers, among them Energy Secretary James Schlesinger, with officials who are opposed to nuclear development. JERUSALEM (AP) Israel war-planes struck Palestinian targets in Lebanon for a second straight day Monday and Prime Minister Menachem Begin invited the Lebanese to negotiate peace.

But he vowed continued attacks on "terrorists who spill the innocent blood of men, women and children." Lebanon angrily rejected the suggestion of talks. "Begin 's offer is blackmail," Lebanese Premier Salim el Hoss said in Beirut. "The offer is a maneuver to camouflage Israel's attacks against innocents in Lebanon. In the name of peace, Israel commits all these crimes in Lebanon. Hours after the Israeli raid a small bomb exploded outside a supermarket in the town of Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv.

A police spokesman said no one was Injured and the only damage was to a parked car. Monday's air raid, in which no casualties were reported, was made on a Palestinian guerrilla-held area 11 miles inside Lebanon near the town of Reihah. AP wiraphoto Motherhood New vote called.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter told nuclear energy foes Monday that an immediate shutdown of the nation's nuclear power plants is "out of the question." Conferring with the coordinators of Sunday's anti-nuclear demonstration the largest such protest held in the United States the president was urged to close some plants now, phase out others, and halt the opening of new nuclear power facilities. The president's hastily called meeting occured one day after at least 75,000 persons rallied on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to demonstrate their concern about continued nuclear development. There were these other developments Monday on the nuclear power issue: yk new Associated Press-NBC News poll showed that public support for a moratorium on nuclear power plant construction has jumped in the wake of the accident at the Three Mile Island facility. But the poll found that, while almost two of every three Americans want safety questions resolved before resuming nuclear construction, most still aren't ready to order all nuclear plants shut down.

In Middletown, the site of the Three Mile Island plant, a House energy subcommittee launched its investigation of the nuclear accident with a tour of the stricken plant. Rep. Morris K. Udall, the subcommittee chairman, said after the visit: "If I had my way, I'd go very slow about expansion. We're not going to have any nuclear expansion unless we pay a price." "Consumer advocate Ralph Nader said plans for protecting the public during nuclear accidents "have no credibility" and provide only "an illusion of protection." In testimony before a House Government Operations subcommittee, Nader also called for the ouster of members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission because of their handling of the crisis.

"Dr. Edward Teller, the physicist, said nuclear power plants are safe technologically, but their operators need better training. He said he was concerned that human error could result if low pay meant inadequately trained or overworked operators at nuclear plants. "A message from Carter was presented to a European Nuclear Conference in Hamburg, West Germany, in which the president 3rd Ward vote to face after the dinner break to give Mordy a chance to research whether the council could examine ballots to check the vote. Mayor W.R.

Holcomb pressed for that, saying there was one absentee ballot mailed to City Hall that had an indention in the space for one of the candidates and there should be one more hand count of the ballots. "I think we ought to know whether that ballot was counted or not," Holcomb said. Afterward, Holcomb would not say who the ballot was for. But Clark said the indentation appeared in the space for McBay and the ballot was not counted during last week's recount, attended by representatives from the Strickler and McBay campaigns. In addition to Mordy, Harvey Friedman, a self-styled council watcher, advised against the election, saying the council would be vulnerable to recall.

"Then I've got nothing to worry about," said Third Ward Councilman William Katona, who was defeated in last week's balloting. (Continued from A-l) and cheaply as possible. That included a suggestion by Clark of a mail-in vote, in which registered voters would receive a post card, which they would mark and mail back to the city clerk's office. Fourth Ward Councilman Richard F. Gerwig resisted one suggestion, however, that the council cut costs and time by dispensing with sample ballots.

"It's wrong to hold an election and not notify people who live in the area," Gerwig said. Both McBay and Strickler, had said earlier they would prefer another election, but at the start of the meeting, their spokesmen distributed a joint statement by the two that they "express no preference and will abide by the decision of the City Council whether to have a lot or special election." At the start of the meeting, coun-cilmen refused to accept the 7th Ward results as official, as they grappled with what to do. They delayed a decision until' (Continued from A-l) solve these issues, Fair said, he proposes that the court call another election to "let Hernandez and I square off and let the voters decide once and for all." Hernandez said he plans to "play it by ear and see what Mr. Fair does. He has the right to follow the judicial process." It appeared Fair would have some basis to challenge the write-in votes for "Ralph," with no last name indicated.

No one seemed to know how many of these votes were counted last Tuesday, but Clark said there was at least one. Fair said it was his understanding that only the 12 votes found Friday morning in a safe at the clerk's office would be counted Tuesday. Katona received one of those votes and Fair the other 11, enough to give him a one-vote lead over Hernandez. But Clark opened the canvass by asking the four-person board to reconsider five ballots that had been rejected Thursday during the initial canvass. Four were set aside again but one was accepted, producing a tie.

The accepted ballot had been set aside because the signature on the application form Tony Gomez was printed. After comparing Gomez' signature on the ballot envelope with his signature on his affidavit of registration, the board accepted the ballot. "From what I can tell," Clark said after 13 ballots had been counted, "it's going to come out a tie." She then announced her intention to reverse a decision she made last Tuesday night to set aside four ballots on which "Ralph Hernandez" was written both on the ballot card and on the ballot envelope. The California Elections Code says the name should be written only on the envelope. "I feel the decision was a wrong one," she said.

Clark said she felt the courts would not uphold her 12 DH.IT PRIM IV. CALCULATOR decision and she said she would change it to avoid needless litigation on the point. In a written opinion, Robert W. Kelly, deputy city attorney, said the name on the envelope met the requirement of the law and "In this case the writing on the punchcard can be treated as surplusage and ignored." "The name however, is too vague to determine the intent of the voter," Kelly wrote. "There are probably many people within the ward named RjJph, and the voter may have intended any of thsm." When the four ballots were counted, Hernandez had his winning margin.

"I feel like I've just thrown the election to Ralph," a dismayed Clark said after the tally. Gark said she can't go back into the ballots counted Tuesday night to reject those for "Ralph" because they were officially sealed Friday. It takes a court order to reopen them, she said. Even before the new tally, Fair had said he didn't want to serve under a cloud and would probably seek court action to clear up issues raised in the election. "I assure you I will not let an Estrada-type election go unchallenged," said Fair, a 64-year-old businessman.

His reference to the Esther Estrada Tony Campos election of a few years back which wound up in the courts over voting irregularities drew some angry protests in the audience. But Hernandez, as he had done earlier, rose to silence the crowd. "Best of luck to you, Ralph," Fair said as he was leaving. "Hold onto it if you can." Hernandez, 49, a former rocketry technician on a disability pension, said he doesn't intend legal action unless Fair forces him to take it. He did not seem overly concerned at the possibility the court may rule out "Ralph" votes.

"I think we can pick up two more legally he said. It's his opinion that he can produce affidavits to qualify some of the four absentees still set aside from Thursday's canvass. Hernandez said he is not interested in holding another election. "We have worked within the framework of the law," he said. "We're not going to create another election for Mr.

Fair." Fair said he felt he had been maneuvered in agreeing to postpone from Friday afternoon to Monday the counting of the 12 missing ballots. The delay, Fair said, gave his opposition time to put more pressure on Clark and resulted in the counting of five additional votes. He continued to express displeasure over the Hernandez practice of having some voters request delivery of their absentee ballots to his home. "They might as well have handed the candidate and his workers a b6xf ul of votes," Fair said. 13995 -'(iliiri- I ill Kll prliHi i.

He said the strike deadline will be set by the URW negotiating committee. He explained that some Uniroyal chemical plants needed time to shut down certain operations. The URW caucus followed a bargaining session in which the union told Uniroyal It faced economic action unless it agreed to certain terms. Bommarito's announcement followed the arrival at the negotiating table of Wayne L. Horvitz, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

Negotiations had reopened Monday in what was generally regarded as a major test of the Carter administration's anti-inflation program. The URW was bargaining with Uniroyal, third largest tire manufacturer, to set a rubber industry pattern. Its 8,200 members in Uniroyal plants have been working on a day-to-day basis after postponing a Saturday night strike deadline. A federal judge last week refused to issue a temporary restraining order against enforcement of President Carter's voluntary guidelines limiting wage-benefit raises to 7 percent annually. Alan F.
