(AP) -Illinois House Republicans are undergoing a strange agony. What it means, where It will lead, and even whether it Is relevant, to the world beyond the marbled halls of the state-house, is unknown. ABut the war among House Republicans exerts a byzantine fascination of its own and casts at least some light on the preoccupations of the men who make the laws of Illinois. Because of this battling, the spring session of the legislature adjourned amid almost indescribable chaos. Republican representatives attacked House Speaker W.

(AP) Despite spirited opposition from within their own ranks, top leaders cf Miami's Cuban exile colony of 300,000 have called for "a mas mi OLD as a "damned idiot" who conspired "to obstruct the business of this House." Blair's two most vocal antag onists, Reps. Peter Miller of Chicago and Robert S. Juckett of Park Ridge, caught the Speaker's parliamentarian, Zale Glauberman, still on the ros thum after the session.

And yet Hyde, is known to be disappointed that he received no help from Blair in his futile battle to get renominated in the March 21 Republican primary. When he lost that election his fortunes appeared at the nadir and his wrath toward the speaker was ill concealed. But his luck went on the upturn two weeks later when another member who had won his renomination battle abruptly! 1 resigned and Hyde was "declared" the nominee.

His benefactor: none other than Rep. Peter Miller. Miller's motive is a of Hyde's friends extol Miller as "a great Republican" and Miller himself says that "Hyde is the only one I'd this for he held the House together." Yet Blair partisans recall that it was Miller who came down with an unexplained illness at the time of a speakership election in the early 1960s, allowing Democrat Paul i I llf tIJI 0 fm source of ages of a high-velocity rifle to the IRA for use in Northern Ireland. Since the 1969 insurrection began, British diplomatic missions abroad have been on the alert for evidence of IRA fund-raising and arms buying According to the authorities here the thickest dossiers on this subject relate to the activities of IRA sympathizers in the United States, and tarthe passage of arms through the Irish republic.

Dqads in The-12th and 13th centuries were often' the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. "Take that!" exclaimed the king.

Rognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open. These Other members were on their feet booing and jeering as Blair hastily adjourned the House and departed via a rear exit. Later, Blair told a news con ference that the uproar was merely "end of the session excitement." Longtime observers of the legislature, however, recall that in previous years the -last night histrionics invariably- were the work of drunken lawmakers. Miller, Juckett and their followers all too obviously were sober in their attempt to embarrass Blair.

And the next day other Republicans -offered dark prophecies of Blair's demise. Somewhere deep in the background of all this is the hefty, sardonic figure of House Majority Leader Henry J. Hyde of Chicago. With a jocular chuckle, Hyde denies that he has his eye fixed on the speaker's chair. "We're all getting along fine," the silvery haired Republican leader told newsmen Ulster rebels U.S.

LONDON (AP) British in-vestigators' have established that arms and funds are the Irish Republican Army mainly from U.S. and European sources, including Britain itself. To stop the flow of money and arms to the IRA the British have sought the help of such countries as the United States, Japan, Canada, the Irish republic and even, on one occasion, Czechoslovakia. Gun-running, by definition, is an underground operation. Consequently just about every govern approached has stressed that its capacity to control this sort of traffic is limited, officials say.

Britain has repeatedly asked the United States and Japan-to track down and halt leak CI" wmm Iftfcllfcli 'ill! And yet the speaker himself professes to be unconcerned about any challenge to his lead ership. "I know how to get the votes," he told a news confer ence after the session "I haven't been running for speak er. I am the speaker. Now I'm going to concentrate on electing a Republican House and a Re publican governor. "After that," he said; "I will announce my candidacy, speaker, and I expect to be re been through this before and I know how to get the votes.

"In he adds, "things aren't always what they are but what they appear to be and what they appear to be isn't always what they are." Detective, deputy grants win approval MARSHALL, 111. Two grant applications one for a Cumberland County detective bureau and the other for a permanent resident deputy in Pleasant- Grove Township in Coles County were approved here. Thursday at the meeiihg Central Illinois Law Enforcement Commission (ECILEC). The Illinois Law Enforcement Commission Will receive the 1 applications and decide, whether or not to accept them. Commission Chairman Paul B.

Smith, Coles County sheriff, revealed that the resident deputy application for $22,780 first-year grant was developed to provide a deputy on a permanent basis in Pleasant Grove Township. If the program is accepted Smith hopes it will serve as a model for other townships in the county. The program has been ap proved by both the Coles County Board and Pleasant Grove officials, according to Smith. The $22,790 Cumberland County grant application asks for. a county wide detective bureau patterned after a smilar program previously funded for Edgar County.

Approval has beeen received from the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission ding the four previous grant applications from the area commission. These include $3,130 for a communications program at Eastern Illinois University; $7,878 for an advanced training program set to begin Sept. 15; $20,545 for the Edgar County city-county detective bureau; and most recently, $24,300 'for a police --cadet program in Charleston.

Inside Britain itself indeed in downtown London areas where Irish communities live money is collected daily for the IRA. Under British law it cannot be stopped. More worrying to Britain, according to senior officials, is an inflow of U.S. weapons to Ulster by way of the Irish republic.

Israeli moms push daughters to have sex TEL AVIV (AP) Israeli mothers try to "nag their 16- fyear-old daughters into having sexual relations," an expert on teen-agers reports.

Among these, Cruz said, are "promises by Democratic Pres idents John Kennedy and Lyn don B. Johnson to rid Cuba of its Communist regime." Cruz said the demonstration planned by the Prio organ ization may damage the nonvio lent image of Cuban refugees.

Based upon the fact that radioactive elements will be con- centrated in marine life in the Tsllme manner as nonradioactive ones, the researchers found that: "Within the existing conditions' of Lake Michigan, the organism studied will absorb only as much of an element, be it radioactive or stable, as their body chemistry requlre-pand there Is no evidence of further concentration of the element as it proceeds up the food web."

In another aspect of the study, Copeland said his group made studies of the distribution of 35 chemical elements in Lake Michigan. The result; he said, is that Lake Michigan "looks pretty good as far as chemistry goes. We found no dangerous levels of chemicals."
