DURING ATTACK Israeli raiders search an Arab guerrilla hideout 28 miles inside the Lebanon USC investigators reported Friday that the 1969 oil spill in the Santa Barbara channel did almost no permanent damage to animal and plant life or to the beaches. They also found that it is hard to tell the bad effects of oil spillage, such as they are, from those of other pollutants, especially pesticide residues that drain into the channel through the rivers and creeks of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. In any case, they said, the whole area is well along the road to complete recovery.

The research investigation of the Santa Barbara oil well blowout and resultant spill was done by a team from USC's Allan Hancock Foundation. The team was headed by Dale Straughan, assistant professor of biological sciences at USC and a research associate at the foundation. Association Puts Up Money The money for the study was put up by the Western Oil Gas which gave USC $150,000, and the National Science Foundation. (The blowout took place Jan. 28, 1969, and was not slowed for 11 days.

Seepage continued for months, and in 1970 was still as high as 10 barrels a day, according to Miss Straughan.) The report says that a 12-month study of the smallest animals of the channel, the zooplankton, failed to reveal any effects of oil pollution. It also cites a U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries report that no change in the number of fish eggs and larvae had been found in the area. Similarly, a study of phytoplank-ton (small organisms that depend on BY DON IRWIN Times Stiff Writer WASHINGTON-Soon after the Urban Coalition was formed in 196S to change conditions in U.S. cities, it.

received a $10,000 gift from Bantam Books, a paperback book publisher that legally it nothing. The contribution amounted to a voluntary royalty on the profits of a best-selling volume in the urban field on which no royalties were due, because the work could not be copyrighted. The book was the final report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, better known by the name of its chairman, former Illinois Gov. Otto Ker-ner. Following its publication in March, 196S, the $1.25 Bantam edition sold more than 230,000 copies.

Bantam had clear access to the text free of charge because the Ker-ner commission report was one of 27,000 current publications listed as official government documents. They are all exempted by law from copyright, which means they may be freely reprinted by any commercial publisher who believes he has a market and thinks he can meet the competition. Prints AH Documents That competition is the Government Printing Office, near the U.S. Capitol, which prints all documents referred to it for publication by any branch of the government. It offers them for sale at the cost of production, plus 50.

In fiscal 1970, 73 million GPO items were sold for a gros of $21 million. Excess receipts totaling $9 million were returned to the Treasury. Most GPO products are paper-covered and low-priced. Many are highly technical or routine in nature, but interlarded among them are potential best-sellers on matters of public interest that cover the spectrum from international affairs to infant care. The potential market for these GPO publications might be larger than it is except for one basic limitation: to buy a GPO-produced book, you have to get it from GPO.

Easy to Acquire You can write the GPO, sending tlie number from its free catalogue, plus check or money order (no cash, please), and wait for mail delivery. Or you can go to one of the GPO retail shops, of which only five are located outside Washington. They are in federal buildings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City and Boston. Plans to open outlets in other cities as space becomes available in federal buildings are in the works. Such marketing methods leave ample room for private enterprise.

In the production field, GPO is mandated by law to make type and film available to private printers ready to give public documents the fuller distribution that i3 possible through trade channels. Publishers with a feel for the mass market lie in wait for potential bestsellers and sometimes turn them out within a week of GPO publication.

Bottom species were studied, and Miss Straughan's group reported that number and distribution did not change after the oil spill. There had been an earlier decrease in the number of some worms, but this had been blamed on oil exploration and drilling in the channel, not on the spill itself. The areas where bottom worms had decreased were also close to the natural earthquake fault line in the channel, along which oil has seeped for thousands of years. (The Indians used beach tar from this seepage to make baskets waterproof.) Studies Effects of Spillage The Hancock team also studied the effects of the oil spillage on the Santa Barbara beaches.

A survey don during the 12 months after the spill failed to show any damage due to oil pollution, the report said. The USC study cites three surveys made of tidal areas, the first in 195fi and 1939, the second in 1968 and 1969. and the most recent in 1970. The latest survey showed a decrease in a number of species of algae, but the difference was due to mora people on the beach, rather than oil pollution. Marine grass and some algae were killed by the heavy oil pollution after the blowout, but the USC study said the areas where this occurred had recovered as early as August I960.

The report said that fishing declined throughout the worst period Please Turn to Page 24, Col. 1 Spokesmen said that although the North Vietnamese missile sites did not open fire, secret electronic gear on the F-103s showed that enemy radar had locked on the U.S. flights, a prelude to possible actual firing. The strikes were carried out 12 miles north of the Mu Gia Pass, about 80 miles north of the demilitarized zone, and nine to 12 miles northeast of the Ban Karai Pass, roughly 30 miles north of the DMZ. Secretary of Defense Melvin R.

Laird has said he has authorized pilots to fire their missiles when they judge electronically that American aircraft are being threatened, even if they are not actually fired on. Although no SAM firings were reported in the newly announced "protective reaction" strikes, spokesmen said B-52s flying over Laos had encountered SAM missiles fired from North Vietnam on several occasions during the last several months, but that none of the B-52s had been hit. Laird has said "protective reaction" missions are intended to protect the lives of U.S. pilots. Please Turn to Page 7, Col.

TOTH Timet Staff Writer UNITED NATIONS Egypt outlined its conditions for a peace settlement with Israel Friday in a private statement to U.N. mediator Gunnar V.

Jarring that appeared at last to signal the start of substantive discussions. Egyptian Ambassador Mohammed el Zayatt said after an interview with Jarring that the Cairo statement was not a formal reply to Israel's peace plan submitted last weekend. Indications were that the Arabs would ignore the Israeli stand but not reject it. The Egyptian presentation to Jarring, however, was authoritatively said to reflect Cairo's attitudes to-, ward the Israeli plan and thus can be considered a response if not a formal reply to it. These attitudes, as they may appear in the statement, do not conflict with an earlier public comment from the Cairo government that Israel had offered "nothing new," it was said.

El Zayatt earlier in the week said he would present the Egyptian position on Mideast peace only "when talks of substance are resumed." In doing so Friday he indicated an apparent Egyptian belief that the Lebanon protests raid by commandos. Page 2, Part 1. Israel Jarring talks, after 3H years, had finally gotten down to some substance in the proposals of the two sides. Before the Egyptian presentation to Jarring Friday diplomats here saw the peace talks balanced on a knife edge with an unequivocal rejection of the Israeli position by Egypt spelling doom to the Jarring mission. But Jarring now has a formal outline by the two sides on a settlement and can begin trying to find some compromise.

He was understood to have spoken by phone to Israeli Ambassador Yos-ef Tekoah soon after El Zayatt left him late in the afternoon. Huge gaps between the Israeli and Egyptian positions are certain to exist. Egypt wants "every inch" of Arab lands returned and all refugees given the right to choose either repatriation or compensation. Israel has indicated willingness to give up most of the Sinai Desert but little more, and wants a low quota of refugees who can opt to return.

MOST BANKS CUT PRIME RATE BUT 3 in state hold out i The prime lending rate of most commercial banks fell again Friday this time to 6.23 from 6.5. It was tlie seventn sucn interest charge reduction in 10 months. The rate change began in New York and spread quickly throughout most of the nation.

Its immediate benefits will be felt only by major companies with top credit standings which qualify them for prime loans. However, charges on other loans often fluctuate in concert with the prime.

The holdout fostered growing speculation that Western banks will couple any reduction with a drop in the interest they pay on some types of savings accounts. Details in Financial Section Storm Rips North; May Skip Southland BY RICHARD WEST Timet Staff Writer Southern California weather should be fair and mild today and Sunday despite another major storm which swept into Washington, Oregon and Northern California Friday bringing heavy rain, snow, hurricane-force winds and the threat of floods.

One man was killed east of Sno-qualmie Pass Summit in Washington when a snowslide swept down on him and his car. The National Weather Service said Friday afternoon that it appeared the second big storm from the Pacific Northwest in a week would get no farther south than Monterey, Stockton and Yosemite. At Los Angeles Civic Center, the weather was balmy, with the temperature climbing to 76 degrees, the warmest day since Dec. 12. The warming trend should continue, with a high of 80 today and 82 Sunday, the forecaster said.

The new storm was centered 350 miles off Vancouver, B.C., and was generating winds of up to 173 m.p.h. on one Oregon peak and more than 100 m.p.h. along the Washington and Oregon coasts. In the Oregon towns of Astoria and Seaside, the winds ripped out hundreds of trees and utility poles, blew Please Turn to Page 15, Col. 1 Index to ASTROLOGY.

Policemen Stay Off Duty in Pay Dispute BY RICHARD DOUGHERTY and JOHN GOLDMAN Timet Staff Writers NEW YORK The familiar navy blue uniform of the policeman on the beat was a rare sight in the nation's biggest city Friday as thousands of patrolmen engaged in a wildcat "job action" and declined to patrol the streets.

Angered by a court decision that had the effect of delaying an anticipated pay raise, the patrolmen ignored pleas of their union leaders and remained in precinct station houses instead of turning out for duty. Later in the day a federal judge, at the city's request, ordered the patrolmen back on the streets, pending a hearing Monday. But more than three hours afterward there were no signs of a return to work. 70 of Force Involved About 70 of the force of 32,000 men was said to be involved in the job action but Mayor John V. Lindsay and Police Commissioner Patrick V.

Murphy sought to quiet public anxieties with assurances that adequate police service was being maintained by superior officers, detectives and other special-duty officers, most of whom were ordered into uniform and to work 12-hour shifts. There was no immediate indication that basic law enforcement had been seriously undermined although Lindsay acknowledged the situation was "very difficult and very grave." At a late afternoon news conference the mayor, who had been up most of the night receiving reports on the action, said: "The police commissioner has advised me and I would like to advise the public that the essential elements of safety are being maintained."

For the jurors, it was the beginning of the end. Superior Judge Charles H.

They will deliberate again today. For Bugliosi, the end of his summation climaxed more than a year of investigation and preparation and two and a half days of final remarks.

Air Force fighter-bombers escorting B-52 bombers on raids along the Laotian-North Vietnamese border struck at the missile sites after enemy radar began tracking the American aircraft, the command said.

The North Vietnamese surface-to-air missile SAM sites did not fire on the American planes, the command said. Results of the U.S. attacks were not known. The strikes, fifth "protective reaction" attacks in the past week, were sure to trigger another protest from North Vietnam. It has used the Paris peace talks to protest such attacks in the past.

The Strategic Air Command B-52s, each carrying SO tons of bombs, were on raids against North Vietnamese supply routes running southward through Laos and were being protected by the F-105 fighter-bombers. Witness7 Story Near Shootout BY PHILIP Tims Staff SAN RAFAEL A woman who "looked very much like" Angela Davis was seen by a service station attendant at the Marin County Civic Center the day before the shooting there Aug. 7, 1970, according to a grand jury transcript released Friday. the attendant, Peter D. Fleming, 23, said the woman and a young man he identified as Jonathan Jackson, killed during the shooting incident, were driving a yellow Hertz Ford van similar to the one used the next day in the bizarre courtroom escape and kidnap attempt.

Fleming said the two had come to his father's Mobil station, located near the Civic Center, and told him the van's battery was dead. Then the three of them went to the Civic Center parking lot where he helped them start the van, he testified. Fleming's identification of Miss Davis and Jackson was made from a Tate Trial Handed to Jurors; Bugliosi Calls Out Roll of Dead BY JOHN KENDALL Timet Staff Writer The seven-month-old Tate-La Bi-anca murder trial went to the jury Friday with a demand by prosecutor Vincent T. Bugliosi for justice for the seven victims. He read a roll of the dead.

The names', familiar because of almost daily use for IS months, seemed somehow new as Bugliosi calted them out, pausing after each as the sound faded in the hushed courtroom.
