Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do eviL For evildoers shall be cut off "The meek shall inherit the earth The service that followed was not too different from many Protestant services But the psalm's prophecy that "the meek shall Inherit the earth" undoubtedly has special meaning for this unusual congregation. The churchgoers that filled the 385-seat Encore Theater ona recent Sunday morning were nearly all males, most of them young. The church in Hollywood is believed to be the first one in the country to have a homosexual pastor, a predominantly homosexual congregation and to identify itself unabashedly as a church for homosexuals. Formed a little more than a year ago, the Metropolitan Community Church has grown to more than 255 members and a prominent role in the increasingly outspoken homosexual community in Los Angeles.

The party crawled up a pier ladder to safety.

AH were treated: for cold and immersion at Lifeguard Headquarters and later driven home by friends and relatives. The rescued persons were: Brofis, 7654 Ben North Hollywood; his brother Harry, 43, and Tony Brofis, 14, Harry's son. Others were Hayes, 5853 Loveland Bell Gardens; his father George, 75, of 414 E.

at that time and made a 300-yard swim to the boat to get passengers off before the big waves pounded the boat aground. "We swam out," D'Arnell "and had to talk them off the boat. The water's about 30 feet deep out there and Ihey were afraid. I didn't blame them, but it would have been more dangerous to have tried to ride the boat ashore." Just after the passengers left the boat waves drove it underneath the pier and it beached on the opposite side near Lifeguard Headquarters Two more lifeguards joined the rescue at that point and the 13" persons swam for the pier.It;wa3 Question of Motive The suggested motive for the Tate murders was also revenge revenge against upper affluent people who denied Manson's musical genius. In both cases, the people massacred were tragic stand-ins for the real targets.

Women and children stood-ih to be shot for Viet Cong. Polanski and her guests stood-in for a previous tenant of the Benedict Canyon house. Then there is the business of obedience. The My Lai firing squad consisted of military men who were following orders. They did, according to witnesses, what they were told, although what they did violated every value that their countrymen claim to embrace.

The followers of Charles Manson talk about blindly obeying their magical leader. They say they were hypnotized or entranced by the man and would do whatever he commanded. So we are asked to believe that all the henchmen had no minds, no wills of their own. A doom-monger could draw the parallels and build a theory of hopelessness concerning this culture and its young people. But at the same time there seem to be other parallels that give me some reason for being optimistic about the human spirit First, and most important, the revulsion against both massacres appears to be as profound as it is widespread.

And the solution of both tragedies seems to be emerging from the testimony of people with inside knowledge of the events. "We have Ronald Ridenhour, the letter-writer, to thank for opening the dreadful sore at My Lai. One editor friend seriously' suggests that Mr. Ridenhour deserves a Nobel Prize because he took his country's conscience in his own hands. Now, however, My Lai eyewitnesses and participants are willing to talk and willing to explore the horrors of their own behavior.

'-We have diligent police work to thank for uncovering the Tate murders. Now, however, some of those participants are offering Now the test of this society will be our willingness to see ourselves In society's enemies, our willingness to recognize those enemies as also human. I Bf $111 1 1 nu I BY MILT BROUHARD Timet Staff Writer HUNTINGTON BEACH Eight persons were rescued by lifeguards Sunday, when they had to leap from their 36-foot cabin cruiser before it was washed into the Municipal Pier by a 10-foot surf. Lifeguard Capt. Douglas D'Arnell said a' lifeguard public address on the pier had warned the boat to keep away -from the surfline just before the accident took place.

"We were fishing with the motor turned off," Bob Hayes, 32, co-owner of the boat with Eddie Brofis, 34, said in lifeguard headquarters afterward. He said that when' he attempted to start the engine in' response to the warning, the battery failed and boat was shoved shoreward. City Gained Links, but Lost Pro Shop BY W. B. ROOD Timet Siaff Writer LOS ALAMITOS Chances of this city falling heir to a ready-mada municipal golf course at some future date seemed good after recent county approval of a 47-acre annexation which included a large chunk of the Naval Air Station golf course.

But a study last week by the air station's Public Works Department showed the clubhouse and pro shop are already about 50 feet inside, the city limiU of Cypress. The question of the city in which the buildings are located is academic as long as the air station remains in operation. But should the station ever be moved and the land sold, Los Alamitos could fall heir to a ready-made municipal golf course minus clubhouse. Los Alamitos Councilman Joseph Hyde, who sponsored the annexation at the west end of Orangewood charged that a protest by Cypress was an attempt to deprive Los Alamitos of the Navy course clubhouse and pro shop. riease Turn to Page 4, Col.
