The railroad proposed halting the of which operate west of Buffalo, N.Y., and Harrisburg, of April 15, but the ICC Friday ordered a suspension' of the effective date until Aug. 15 to permit investigation of the merits of the proposal. The spokesman for Penn Central said the delay will cost the road "at least" $3.2 million in direct operating expenses and postpone realization of more than, $17 million on what he called an unavoidable cost basis. "Actually," he said, "the cash drain likely will be greater, since passenger revenues on these trains are declining at an annual rate of 15 per cent while wage and material costs are rising sharply," The- Penn Central originally petitioned the ICC March 10 to discontinue the trains. hoold be given a chance If doesn't work, then we'll Gale W.

In announcing this Friday, State Department press officer Oil Company Gets Go-Ahead For Drilling SANTA BARBARA, Calif.

AP) The Army Corps of En- pneers has granted permission Humble Oil Co. to begin drill- ng in the Santa Barbara Channel, scene last year of a massive oil well blowout. Reaction rom civic leaders and conservation groups was quick and critical. The Army, in announcing the approval Friday, said Bumble's petition had previously been ap- jroved by the Interior Department but then had been temporarily delayed by a government-imposed moratorium on new operations in the channel. All that was up to the Army to determine, a spokesman said, was whether new operations would pose dangers to navigation or national defense.

(AP) Two 15-year-old boys got a helicopter ride to safety Thursday after they became stranded on an ice floe that high winds had pushed a half mile into Lake Erie. Raymond Mitchell and Scott Farr said they had been playing oh the ice south of Buffalo when it began to drift away.

They were trapped 30 minutes before a Roman Catholic priest spotted them and flagged down a patrol car of the Erie County Sheriff's Department. The deputies radioed for the department's helicopter, which the boys boarded by climbing a rope ladder, jured.

"We were not surprised that the permits were issued while the matter was pending before the appeal court," Levine said.

"When we argued the case on Monday we told the court that the permits were pending, and it would not surprise us if they were issued before the court had a chance to rule on an application for an injunction." Levine said the engineer corps allowed time for comment or complaints but did not hold hearings. "In all of our pleadings," he said, "We have said, that the oil companies were in a race with the courts in an effort to change the status quo so as to hopefully make moot the lawsuits." There was no immediate comment from Humble on receiving the Army go-ahead for explora- ory drilling on two tracts, measuring about nine square miles, south of Point Conception. Lois Sidenberg, president of the citizens group Get Oil Out- Goo, for short-told newsmen: 'We're extremely angry and larticularly disappointed." She contended the Army over- ooked testimony from one of 300's directors before a Senate interior committee that the exploratory operations would in- leed pose problems for naviga- ion. These documented statements," she said, "gave evidence of problems that have ex- sted due to present oil opera- ions and particularly those having to do with near collisions with drilling rigs in the vicinity of Humble Oil's two tracts. "Another matter," she said, 'concerned the hazards involved hi deep water from 700 to 1,000 feet as well as the use of movable drilling rigs so close to' the channel navigational area." A local spokesman for the conservationist Sierra Club, Mrs.

James Higman, said, "We are very much against any fur- her exploration in the channel. The idea is to get out what's already in there without inviting any more wells."

Lawrence B. Cann Jr. was a witness Friday during the fourth day of hearings by an inquiry board of the National Transportation Safety Board into the Jan. 27 derailment of the Gulf Coast Special near Franconia, in which three persons were killed and 45 injured. There has been testimony during the four days that weather conditions might have caused damage to the tracks.

There also has been testimony that the derailing cars drove the track out of place. The subject of vandalism was brought into the investigation Friday by Cann and Robert L. Slate, chief special agent of the railroad's Potomac yards at Alexandria, Va. "Vandals have tried hard to wreck a train" in the area where the accident occurred, Cann said. And Slate said the worst area for vandalism is between the Featherstone-Woodbridge and Franconia areas.

"We've been besieged with vandalism at Franconia," Cann said. 'I shocked wbea I ceived a letter from the council telling me the tenancy not being renewed." said Patricia Sedwell.

"Some of jthese handicapped children often stand and stare for very long periods and people on holidays don't always like to be reminded of those who are less fortunate," the spokesman added.

But one counsellor, Charles Warren, said, "It's a disgraceful decision and I intend to take it up on behalf of the children." The Town Council's beach committee chairman, Arthur Pidgeon, said the committee might reconsider, if Mrs. Sed- weH makes another application. She said she would. Meanwhile the committee offered her another location on a pebble beach out of the view of the other residents. She turned the offer down because "the water gets deep there and it would be quite impossible to stop the from wandering off."

Washington St. May Hearing Sef On Rate Increase RICHMOND (AP)-A hearing on proposed increases in rates for workmen's compensation insurance for companies writing such policies in Virginia has been set for May 18 by the State Corporation Commission. Because of revised rates approved by the General Assembly which boost workmen's compensation benefits, the Workmen's Compensation Inspection Bureau of Virginia seeks an average 2.5 per cent hike in over-all rates. The bureau's request asks increases of 4.8 per cent in rates for contracting classifications and 4.9 per cent for manufacturing categories and a decrease of .2 per cent for all other classifications. The legislature in the session just adjourned increased the maximum compensation benefits from $51 to $62 per week and boosted death benefit maximums from $20,400 to $24,000.
