WASHINGTON (AP/AFNB)-Secretary of theInterior Walter J. Hickel ordered emergencyequipment and a five-man technical team to thescene of a new oil leak in the Santa BarbaraChannel off California.

Hickel said in a statement the new leak"reportedly is substantially less than thatwhich occurred at the blowout of well A21,'theUnion Oil Co. well that spewed crude oil over800 square miles of the Pacific for 11 days inlate January and early February.The new leak apparently stems from Union's

well A41 originating from the same drillingplatform as well A21."

It was issued a few minutes after Hickelconcluded a news conference in which he men-tioned briefly the new oil leak but not .hisemergency measures.The announcement said two of the depart-

ments petroleum engineers and three of itssenior oil geologists were sent from Washing-ton to Santa Barbara.

LOS ANGELES (AP/AFNB)--Sirhan B. Sirhan, up-

set by refusal of his counsel to permit a pleaof guilty to the murder of Robert F. Kennedy,showed additional nervousness as his trial re-sumed today.

The defendant met with his three attorneysand his brother Munic in the chambers of Su-perior Court Judge Herbert V. Walker to fur-ther discuss his wish to plead guilty and ac-cept a death sentence.Court was then convened and Sirhan sat in

his customary seat at the counsel table. Heshook his head at documents in front of himand argued with defense attorneys.

At one point he drew a cigarette and stuckit in his mouth in violation of courtroomrules. Defense team members snatched it away.

The jury then was shown handwriting samplesto compare with that in notebooks admitted inevidence yesterday that caused Sirhan to askfor a change in plea. The panel also beganreading and taking notes of material in thenotebooks.

Israeli Parliament Convenes to Select New Leader

Moshe Dayan Retains Popular SupportFor Key Post of Prime Minister

JERUSALEM (AP/AFNB)--The death of Prime Min-ister Levi Eshkol has thrown Israel into aninternal power struggle at one of the mostcritical times in the history of the state .Some Arabs feat the passing of Eshkol willturn loose the hawks.As border incidents have recently escalated

to alarming proportions, Eshkol's death from aheart attack yesterday was expected to openthe floodgates to a tide of political infight-ing.

For the time being, until the official periSbdof mourning ends after at least seven days,Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Allon, an Oxford-educated former major general, is in charge.

But the Knesset, Israeli's parliament, mustelect a new government to run the countryuntil the national elections in November.Obviously, whoever holds the premiership overthese months will be heavily favored to stayin power for a full term of four years.There are three main candidates: Allop,

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and former For-eign Minister Golda Meir, once a Milwaukeeschool teacher. Israeli's ambassador to theU.S. Yitzhak Rabin, is probably an outsider,believed to be unpopular with the army highcommand.Allon, 50, and Dayan, 53, were comrades in

arms during Israeli's war of independence.For some months now they have been bitterrivals for the top job.

Informed sources favored Mrsd.Meir, who is70, as a compromise. Her health, on her ownadmission, has been poor and it is by no meanscertain she would accept the job.Mrs. Meir, although holdinga strong respect

for Dayan, dislikes him and would supportAllon. The powerful Labor Party would alsofight to keep Dayan out. But the swashbuck-ling, patch-eyed war hero can claim powerfulpublic support.

Both Allon and Dayan know that the chancesof each ever becoming prime minister are com-pletely up to the people.

A Dayan-for-Prime Minister campaign has beenunderway for some weeks, aiming to collect250,000 signatures throughout the country toback him. To date it has amassed about 40,000names. But the movement was not geared forfull action when Eshkol died--like most of thecountry.

Informed political sources said four persons-Eshkol, Mrs. Meir, Allon, Labor Party leaderPinhas Sapir and Information Minister Yisrael

Gallili- knew the true state of Eshkol's healthduring his last weeks. In that period he hadone heart attack and suffered from pneumonia.

Israel's foreign policies and its relationswith the Arabs were unlikely to undergo anytraumatic change whoever takes power. Sourcessaid Allon, Mrs. Meir and Dayan have been ingeneral agreement on at least this aspect ofthe nation's affairs.Although they were widely tabbed as hawks

they have all said Israel must give up some ofthe occupied territory for the sake of peacewhile they differ on what parts.

All three again, will be driven to a certainextent by the mood of the country in dealingwith Arab military activity. And that moodhas been a tough one since guerrillas attackedan El Al plane in Zurich and bombed a Jeru-salem supermarket last week.Fears were expressed by some sources in

Cairo that Eshkol's death meant the hawks willhave more influence in determining their na-tion's future.

Arab capitals considered Eshkol a dove com-pared with Dayan and Manchem Begin, xihiaterwithout portfolio.

Israeli planes pounded two guerrilla basesin Syria Sunday in what some saw as the firstin a series of retaliatory blows. But anyfurther retaliation through the mourning per-iod is unlikely.One source said key decisions on retaliation

are taken by a cabinet committee for securityaffairs. The prime minister is chairmanOther 7 members include Dayan, Foreign Rii-kster Abba Eban and Begin.Allon, who became the first Palestine-born

leader in the nation's history, said in aradio address that Eshkol."dreamed the dreamof the Jewish rebirth."

Eshkol was born in the Ukraine of the SovietUnion, came to Palestine in 1914, and helpedfight the British in the days before Israelbecame a nation.

Eshkol became Prime Minister nearly sixyears ago with the resignation of David Ben-Gurion, still fit at 82. Ben-Gurion, Israel'sonly other prime minister, was born in what isnow Poland.

Israelis were taken by surprise at theannouncement of Eshkol's death. They had beenreading official bulletins attributing hisabsence from office to a bad cold.

His doctor disclosed that he had sufferedfrom pneumonia and had his first heart attackFeb. 3 during a cabinet crisis.

The body of Eshkol will lie in state in the

Civilian Astronaut to Take Last Space Walk Before Moon ShotBy AP Newswriter 'RusHoward Benedict

CAPE KENNEDY (AP/AFNB)-Stand-ing in golden slippers outsideorbiting Apollo 9, the next Am-erican to walk in thelonelinessof space plans to pause and letthe thrill of the moment sinkin.

'When you are in it, you getso snarled up with details thatyou have to sort of sit backfor a minute and stop yourselfto realize what it is that youare doing and how beautiful itis," said red-haired Russell L."Rusty" Schweickart, as he pon-dered the two hours he plans tospend outside Apollo 9.

"I think it's probably thegreatest view in the world.I'm looking forward to it," the33-year-old civilian astronautsaid with a smile.

"There, of course, is alwaysa risk, but it's more or lessthen we've experienced pre-viously" in space walks duringthe two-man Gemini program,Schweickart said.

If all goes well on Apollo 9,the freckle-faced father offive will be the last man tostroll outside an Americanspaceship during a mission un-til astronauts walk on themoon.

The 10*daysof Apollo 9 testsscheduled to begin Friday--withSchweickart and Air Force Lt.Cols. James A. McDivitt andDavid R. Scott--will be thefirst manned flight of a lunarmodule, LEM, the ungainly look-ing craft that will taxi futureastronauts from an Apollo shipin moon orbit to the lunar sur-face, possibly in June or July.Project officials and astro-

nauts want to know how spacemencan transfer from the LEM. backto the Apollo mother ship ifhatches in a connecting inter-nal tunnel do not open properlywhen the two ships rendezvousand dock in moon orbit.

ty' Schweickhart Looks Forward to 'Greatest View'is to move hand-over-hand onrails to the command ship'sdoor and slip into the sistership up to his waist.

"This is the only time, ex-cept in an emergency conditionwhere this extra-vehiculartransfer will be made," thespace walker said. "This isit. After this, other peoplelook at it, see the way I didit, learn from it and perhapsdo it a different way.

"But at least they will seethe way that I did it, andthat hopefully will be of ass-istance in case anybody has todo this under emergency condi-tion."Schweickart, who once para-

chuted after the engine of anF-86 jet fighter he was pilot-ing blew up, knows the impor-tance of preparing for the un-expected.

"It is worth spending time ondeveloping these emergencyprocedures. When you have touse them, you don't want tohave to think about them. Youjust want to be able to callon them, and there they are,and they work, and you comeback and say: 'Well, that wasinteresting,'" said Schweick-art.

In America's first attemptto transfer astronauts fromone spaceship to another,Schweickart and McDivitt areto float through the internaltunnel, formed when the LEMand three-man Apollo 9 commandship are docked, during theirsecond day in earth orbit.

Kept alive by a long hoseconnecting his spacesuit tothe mother ship's oxygen sup-ply, Schweickart will enterthe LEM first. After turningon the LEM's life-support andelectrical systems, he willswitch his suit to LEM systems.Then, with both craft Dronerlv

Both crewmen will return tothe command ship to spend thenight, then return to the LEMthe third day for Schweick-art's space walk.Wearing a spacesuit nearly-

identical to the one astro-nauts will have on when theywalk on the moon's surface,Schweickart will slip feetfirst through the LEM's openoutside hatch. On his backwill be a portable life sup-port system, worn like a knap-sack, filled with oxygen tokeep him alive.

He will roll to his left 90degrees and grab a handrail onthe left side of the LEM hatchand then sit on the top rungof a ladder that extends fromthe LEM's "front porch." Dur-ing the lunar landing mission,astronauts will walk down thisladder to the moon's surface.McDivitt then will pass out

a standard movie camera, whichSchweickart mounts on a frontporch railing, while Scottaims another camera out thecommand ship's hatch to photo-graph Schweickart.

Only the space walker 'sgrasp on the hand rail, plusa 25-foot rope-like safetyline attached to him from theLEM,will keep the astronautfrom floating away.

He then will slip his feetinto the "golden slippers"--glass fiber restraining de-vices on the LEM's frontporch--and rest before begin-ning the transfer to the com-mand ship.

While outside, he intends topluck paint and glass "thermalsamples" attached to the LENand Apollo 9 command ship, soscientists can later determinewhat kind of contaminants coatthn onutaid nf theA cnn ,ehin

Anyone Can Finish SchoolIf one dropped out of high school before receiving their diploma,

they should investigate the possibility of finishing school whilestill in service. Or at least acquire a high school diploma or cer-tificate through the General Educational Development (GED)tests offered by their branch of the service.

One might have dropped out of formal education, but shouldkeep in mind that the educating process goes on.

Here is where the GED comes in, these tests measure the levelof education one has acquired, either formally, or through informalself-education and intellectual growth. The emphasis in the GEDtests is to measure one's ability to think clearly, to interpret, tocomprehend, and to evaluate.

The tests determine whether one has acquired the equivalentof a high school education.

The high school GED tests, at present, consist of five parts:Correctness and effectiveness of expression, social studies, naturalsciences, interpretation of literary materials, and general mathe-matical ability.
