Key lawmakers of both parties said the problems of recon- ciling the vastly different energy bills passed by the House and Senate remain, despite Carter's statement Tuesday night that he would not sign a final compromise bill failing his tests for fairness and energy conservation. Carter has threatened before to veto an unacceptable energy bill, and a White House spokesman confirmed after Carter's speech that the president was standing by those threats. Democratic congressional leaders praised Carter for his address to the nation, but generally doubted his speech would make the battle, now raging in House-Senate conference committees, any easier.

And Republicans accused Carter of trying to turn the na- City to hold public hearings on CD During the month of November, the City of Hope will begin holding public hearings to discuss projects for the fourth year of the City's Community Development Block Grant Program. The first hearings will begin on Thursday, November 17, at 7 p.m. at the Directors Room, City Hall. Persons who wish to participate in the preparation of the fourth year community development program will have a chance to do so at that time. Also to be coasldered at the hearings will be amendments to the third year program.

These amendments were made necessary by policy changes within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that occurred when President Carter entered office. Hope became eligible for community development funds In 1974 because it had participated in other Federal programs such as urban renewal. In 1975 the City received its first grant of $480,000 and subsequently similar amounts 1976 and 1977. During 1978, the grant amount is due to decrease to $320,000 although there is some speculation among government officials that the decrease will not be that great. Funds alloccited under the program can be spent on a wide variety of projects ranging from the Installation of water and sewer lines to the provision of park and recreation facilities.

The program is specifically designed, however to aid low and moderate income families and this objective is currently being vigorously pursued by HUD officials. The objectives of the programs are also tied closely to the im- provement and conservation of housing for low and moderate income families. As part of the goal of improving housing conditions, the City presently operates a Section 8 housing assistance program. Under this program, families with low imcomes can receive rent supplement assistance to help them find and rent housing that is decent, safe and sanitary. This program and the community development program are administered by Mike Kelly and the staff of the Hope Housing Authority at 720 Texas Street.

During the first three years of the community development program in Hope, several projects have been started or completed. These include the reconstruction of various streets such as Spruce and Edgewood, park improvements, sewer projects, a neigh- borhood clean-up program, and a new fire station at Hazel and Berry Streets. Federal guidelines call for public participation in the planning of community development projects and the participation plan. The hearings on the 10th are part of hearings on the 10th are part of such a plan for Hope. Citizens attending the hearings will be encouraged to comment on the program and to help plan the community development program and housing assistance plan for the fourth year.

Additional hearings hearings will be held at later stages in the development of the fourth year program. Dates and times will be announced in the news media.

"He didn't have a program to begin with," complained House Republican Leader John Rhodes of Arizona. "He still doesn't hace one, and he's trying to convince the American people he does." "He's trying to solve the problem on a partisan basis," added Assistant Senate Republican I-eader Ted Stevens of Alaska. "That's a strange way to approach a difficult problem." In an essentially low-key defense of his energy plan, Carter urged Congress to "resist pressures from a few for special favors at the expense of the rest of us." And he invited Americans to help persuade Congress to pass his energy plan one which he said promotes energy conservation while being fair to both consumers and producers and protecting the federal budget. Carter said he would use those standards to judge the final legislation produced by Congress. "I will sign the energy bills only if they meet these tests," he declared.

That statement apparently surprised few members of Congress. "I would not expect him to sign a bill he thought was unfair and didn't conserve energy," said Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La. "I don't think Congress would pass a bill that failed to meet those standards." Sen. Henry M.

Jackson, D- chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, said the president "is telling it like it is. There are no easy choices in energy policy." But Sen. Howard Metzen- baum, D-Ohio, an administration ally, said it is "very doubtful in my mind" whether the talk would have the effect Carter intended. And Sen. Frank Church, ID- Idaho, said it would take "an extraordinary feat in gymnastics" to bring the conferees to agreement.

A second conference unit was to begin work today on tax aspects of the energy package. Meanwhile, the first conference panel, which has been meeting now for three weeks, continued work on non-tax parts of the plan. obituaries Israelis blast guerrillas day's high. day's low. for 24 hours ending 8 a.m.

EOT today. Otlk-Sky conditions outlook Union funds investigated LITTLE ROCK (AP) Prosecuting Attorney Munson Is investigating the possibility of alleged mishandling of funds within Laborers 1282 of Little Rock. The investigation is a result of allegations raised by Jerrell Walker, a union member, against B.E. Allison, the union's business manager. Walker made allegations of alleged misuse of union funds after narrowly losing an election to Allison in June.

Walker said that since 1972, the local has taken in more than $807,000 but has spent more than $850,000. Walker contends the money has been squandered to support a high lifestyle by the local's officers. Aliiscyihas denied any allegations of wrongdoing MRS.

Estelle Gentry of New Orleans. BEIRUT, (AP) Israeli warplanes, naval missiles and artillery blasted Palestinian guerrilla positions in south- em today, killing more than 60 persons and wounding 82, according to Incomplete official reports. A spokesman for the governor's office In Sidon said at least 48 of the dead were Lebanese in the village of Azzieh, totally devastated by air strikes lasting three hours. Azzieh is 10 miles southeast of the biblical port city of Tyre, which took much of the punishment for a recent wave of cross-border guerrilla rocket attacks. Israel's chief of staff, Lt.

Gen. Mordechai Gur told re- porters In Tel Aviv the raid was Israel's response to Palestinian attacks across the border, and spoke of damage done by Israeli warplanes. He said the Israeli aircraft hit "terrorist camps, training bases and field bases" and that at least some targets were destroyed. It was the first time since Dec. 2,1975 that the Israeli military announced an air attack on southern Lebanon, and it came after Palestinian rockef attacks killed three Israelis this week.

The air attacks began at dawn. The spokesman said waves of Phantom and Sky- hawk jets made eight bombing and strafing attacks on Bint Jbeil, a guerrilla stronghold in southeast Lebanon; Nakoura, on the coast, where the United Nations has a military observation post, and border villages in between. Two hours later, the spokesman continued, six-plane formations roared in from the Mediterranean skies and made 12 attacks on Tyre, three Palestinian refugee camps on its southern and eastern fringes and eight adjacent villages. "We saw waves of Phantom jets roar overhead," said one witness. "Then there were deafening explosions, and palls of black smoke billowed high into the sky in the Tyre neighborhood." "Scores of villages have been levelled, said a Palestinian communique.

"They just ceased to exist after the air raids." It was the heaviest fighting since the cease-fire in southern Lebanon Sept. 26 that cthe United States helped arrange. A State Department spokesman in Washington said the U.S. government had urged both sides "to show restraint." But Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman vowed to "settle accounts." The Israeli military command said the air attack was in reprisal for the three Israelis killed by Palestinian r'xikets. Palestinian sources said Syrian troops and tanks moved into new positions on the eastern fringes of the Arkoub region of southeast Lebanon, the guerrillas' chief base for attacks on Israel before the Lebanese civil war.

The sources said the Syrian move was intended to warn Israel against further attacks. But the positions were above the Litani River, the so-called "red line" that Israel has said Syrian troops must not cross.

In Oregon, it was thumbs down on solar energy, Ohio said "no" to wildlife preservation and Washington state gave porno the heave- ho. Referenda, initiatives and constitutional amendments came before the people in communities across the country Tuesday. Some of the results may be significant; others may not. When the people of Santa Rosa County in northern Florida voted to ban liquor, it did not change anything. They vote to stay dry in Santa Rosa whenever they get the chance.

Five of every seven voters in Allegheny County, were in favor of a measure that urged elected officials to "change federal environmental laws in order to preserve existing jobs in the steel industry." Because there are 60,000 jobs directly related to steel production in the county, the vote was interpreted by some as a choice between employment and a cleaner environment. But opponents said Tuesday's vote could stall environmental improvements in the Pittsburgh area without bringing any benefits to workers. Voters in Oregon turned down a measure that would have authorized $439 million in state bonds to develop energy from non-nuclear sources including the sun, wind and ocean tides. Nuclear energy plants have been unpopular in oVegon, and supporters of the bond proposal had hoped it would re-stimulate utility companies' investments in the state. In Ohio, a constitutional amendment to ban the use of leghold traps was a 2-to-l loser.

Animal humane societies had backed the proposal, but there was heavy lobbying against it by hunters and trappers. Ohio also rejected the pleas of the national Democratic Party by doing away with its election-day registration law. The law backed by President Carter and Vice President Walter Mondale was used for the first time Tuesday, and gave people the chance to register and vote on the same day, in the same place. But it was repealed by about 3-to-2. An initiative that called smut-, ty books and movies public nuisances was a public favorite in Washington.

The measure will make it easier to close offending bookshops and theaters. Opponents had called it "pure censorship." sFor the fifth time in two years, Toledo voters had the chance to support a tax increase to keep the schools open. For the first time, they approved it. Public schools would have been closed for the rest of the year without the property tax increase, which will add $76.86 to the tax bill of the owner of a $40,000 home. Gov.

Jim Hunt of North Carolina will be able to run for reelection In 1980 because a constitutional amendment he pushed through the legislature was approved by the people Tuesday. It changes state law to allow the governor and lieutenant governor to succeed themselves.
