LOUIS (UPI) Three federal appeals court judges applied what they called the eyeball test to reverse the decision of a district judge in a potato chip wrapper controversy.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday the brownish wrapper So Good Potato Chip Co. of St. Louis uses to market its corn chips is too similar in color to the orangish package used by Frito-Lay Inc. of Dallas to market its Fritos.

The ruling overturned a 1975 decision by U.S. District Judge John F. Nangle, who ruled the twochip packages aredistinct. "We do not say that six eyes are necessarily apt to reach a more accurate assessment than are two," the appeals judges said, "but our six eyes tell us that the colors of the packages are similar." Frito-Lay had asked that So Good be prevented from using the wrapper and be required to pay damages for having used it. Until 1973 So Good manufactured and distributed Fritos in St.

Louis under a contract with Frito-Lay. In ending that agreement, SoGoodpromised not to market its corn chips in a package "similar in color or design" to the Fritos package. Immunity granted WASHINGTON (UPI) The Justice Department has granted immunity to a number of FBI agents in exchange for their testimony in an investigation of the FBI's illegal break-ins on domestic security cases. Justice Department spokesman John Wilson said immunity was given "some" agents. He declined to say how many but indicated the number was small.

The spokesman said the immunity grants were made personally by Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottin-ger, who is directing a Justice Department investigation of the FBI break-ins. All the agents who have received the immunity grants were assigned to the FBI's New York City field office at the time of the break-ins, Wilson said. Pottinger's investigation has centered on break-ins that occurred in 1972 and 1973 after the FBI halted the practice as a matter of official policy. FBI Director Clarence M.

Kelley last year assured the public no break-ins had occurred since the policy change in 1966 but last month revealed the later break-ins. Kelley said he had been "lied to" by subordinates. Kelley has said he believes the investigation will lead to prosecution of "three or four" FBI agents, although the number involved in break-ins has been estimated as high as 30. Kelley said he had a "feeling" agents would not be prosecuted if they were merely carrying out orders of RINGTOWN AREA NEWS Mrs. Merle Kubilus Phone 889-3775 Schweikef Send-off (WASHINGTON) Members of his office staff give Sen.

N.J. (UPI) Beaches at Cape May City and Cape May Point have been closed by the state because of sewage problems related to Hurricane Belle. The state Department of Environmental Protection told local officials to close the beaches Friday until water samples prove satisfactory.

This could take several days. Beaches in Lower Cape May County, closed earlier this week for health reasons. "Raw sewage is again fouling the beaches because of continuing unsolved problems at the Cape May City sewerage treatment plant," said DEP Commissioner David Bardin. Cape May has a combination storm and sanitary sewer lines. During Hurricane Belle, the raw sewage and storm water were discharged directly into Delaware Bay.

Dog was wrong VACAVILLE, Calif. (UPI) A dog specially trained to detect explosives sniffed the package mailed to jailed mass murderer Charles Manson and went into an "alert" position. An x-ray scan showed wires and clips in the package. Several hours later, a Naval Ordinance Team arrived at the California Medical Facility and cautiously opened the five-by-seven inch manila envelope postmarked from Poland. Inside, instead of a bomb, the Navy squad found a soft teddy bear and a travel book in Polish.

"It looks like the dog was wrong," said prison spokesman Bill Taylor, who had ordered the package placed under sandbags in a corner of the prison until the bomb disposal crew arrived. Pleads innocent CHARLESTON, W.Va. (UPI) A tall blonde with a penchant for Nazi swastikas pleaded innocent Thursday to a charge that she threatened the life of President Ford in a letter written from a women's prison. Mary Margaret Shellhorn, clad in jeans with the red Nazi emblem embroidered on a hip pocket of her jeansj faces trial on the charge Oct. 1.

The 24-year-old inmate at the federal reformatory for women in Alderson, W.Va., allegedly threatened Ford's life in a letter. Much of the alleged threat was reproduced in the indictment, which said the six-foot woman with long, blonde hair penned: "Hey, you know, you S.S. guys are really amusing," apparently referring to the Secret Service. "I knew no one was going to press charges against me. I can tell you that I'm going to kill President Ford and anyone else and no one's going to do a damn thing about it." Right Wing leader proposes zoning Huge drug ring NEW YORK (UPI) In a case concerning what federal prosecutors call the largest drug ring they have ever uncovered, 19 men and three women are on trial on charges of running a $200 million heroin and cocaine operation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas H. Sears told a Manhattan federal court jury in his opening statement Friday that former members of the ring would show that the defendants "are at the top of the narcotics business in the United States." The prosecutor said they "distributedenormousamounts of cocaine and heroin along the Eastern Coast from Boston to Miami and as far west as Chicago" between 1968 and 1974. The drugs were worth $200 million, according to Sears. Theodore Krieger, one of the 22 defense lawyers, said the prosecution testimony would be "nothing other than a story a story told by knaves, by brigands, by pirates, by perjurers." Juan Antonio Alvarez, 43, of Miami, characterized as the main defendant, was absent, having jumped $500,000 bail.

He has a lawyer and will be tried in absentia. Alvarez allegedly was the major importer -supplier of drugs for the ring, which is described by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as the largest it has ever Obituaries 57 MARINA Mrs. Ruppert (Dolores), 713 Bloomfield Place, Linehurst, N.J.

The division was hastened Thursday by the fall of the Tal Zaatar Palestinian refugee camp, a leftist enclave in Christian eastern Beirut. The camp's fall, after a six-week siege, led to the expulsion of 12,000 of the camp's inhabitants from the eastern side of the capital. One Beirut editor and veteran Arab political observer commented that Lebanon, "may finally have gone around the bend." "It all seems to be becoming dangerously clear now," he said.

"After 16 months of going nowhere, our civil war is finally and irrevocably pushing us toward partition and the fall of Tal Zaatar puts the seal on this."

No injuries have been reported. The FDA cautioned patients who are taking 50 milligram tablets of pyribenzamine to make sure they are of a light blue color and imprinted on one side with the number "33." The ritalin tablets come in a 20 milligram dose, are peach color and are imprinted with the number "34." The FDA said an initial investigation showed that a lot of ritalin tablets had been packaged and labeled immediately before the lot of pyribenzamine was packaged and labeled. 76 76 76 Area Public hearing Rep.

William D. Hutchinson of Schuylkill County is urging all interested citizens to attend a public hearing on recreational uses for the Schuylkill River at the Port Clinton Fire House on August 19 at 7:30 p.m. The Pennsylvania Environmental Council is now completing a study of the Schuylkill in an attempt to include it in the new Scenic Rivers system. They are drawing up an overall plan to increase recreational use of the river and its adjoining lands. The Schuylkill is the first Pennsylvania river being studied for inclusion in the Scenic Rivers program, which until several years ago flowed black pollution from coal dust, making it both an eyesore and health hazard.

The PEC is looking for ideas for additional recreational uses along the river, including boating and canoeing, fishing and hunting, nature study and historical sites. One area group has suggested converting part of the old Schuylkill Canal towpath into a hiking or biking trail. Hutchinson urges interested citizens to contact him at his office in Pottsville at 622-7570 if they are unable to attend the August 19 hearing. Area LOCUST MT.

(UPI) A 17-year-old Montgomery County youth, charged with strangling his girlfriend last May 10, has been ordered to stand trial as an adult. After four days of testimony, County Judge Louis D.

Stefan Friday rejected a petition by the defense counsel to have the murder trial of Jeffrey Wicker, of Narberth, heard in Juvenile Court. Wicker was accused of strangling Marion Shopa, 15, of Bala Cynwyd, in the basement of his home. His attorney, John C. Bonner, argued that "warehousing him in an adult institution where he would receive no psychiatric care would pose a greater threat to society if he were to get out in 10 or 15 years." Boaters warned SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The Coast Guard is warning fishermen and yachtsmen that anew 200-mile Pacific territorial zone proclaimed by Mexico has "far reachingimplications" for those using the waters off that country. Mexico imposed restrictions on any activity in the area, including fishing, research and most other activity.

The new regulations require a fishing license for both the vessel and the fishermen, the Coast Guard said Friday. Catch limitations, tackle restrictions and other fishing rules are being imposed. The United States plans to impose a 200-mile fishing zone in 1977, but its restrictions will be less broad than those imposed in the new Mexican zone. Drummer sues SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Elayne Jones hears a different drummer and she doesn't like it. She so much prefers her own beat that she filed suit Friday asking $1.5 million in damages and restoration of her job as tympanist with the San Francisco symphony orchestra.

Miss Jones contends she was discriminated against illegally because she is black and a woman. As defendants, she named the Symphony Association, Musicians Local 6, and seven members of the symphony players committee who voted against giving her tenure. She said blacks and women are systematically excluded from symphony orchestras throughout the nation. She said that the San Francisco symphony has had only two blacks in its history and now has 22 women out of 100 players. Few visitors PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Philadelphia 76, the city's official Bicentennial agency, will cease operation at the end of the year, six months before the planned closing date.

William Rafsky, the agency's head, said fewer visitors than expected came to the city so far. About 75 of the agency's 300 employes will lose their jobs by Labor Day. A Philadelphia 76 spokesman said the move would save about $175,000. BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) A key Christian leader has urged the creation of a federalized state in Lebanon that would set up separately administered Moslem and Christian zones. "It is imperative that a new formula be found whereby Christians can enjoy the freedom and security of administering their own affairs in their own Pierre Ge-mayel, head of the rightist Phalangist party, said Friday.

Gemayel said the move was necessary to prevent formal partition of the country, which "would be the only alternative if this fails." Lebanon has been drifting toward a de facto partition for months and Gemayel 's statement was seen as an admission by the rightists that Lebanese Christians and Moslems can no longer live together after 16 months of civil war that has killed 35,000 and left 250,000 homeless. WASHINGTON (UPI) A New Jersey pharmaceutical company is recalling 29,000 bottles of a prescription allergy drug because one bottle was found to contain the wrong kind of pills, the Food and Drug Administration says. Ciba Pharmaceutical Summit, N.J., is recalling one lot of the antihistamine pyri-benzamine hydrochloride, which was distributed between Jan. 6 and April 4, the FDA said in a statement. One bottle of the pills was found to contain ritalin, a stimulant which is prescribed for narcolepsy, an uncommon disease which causes people to fall asleep uncontrollably, and for hyperactivity and minor brain disorders in children, the agency said.
