In Great Britain Fresh Fruit Supplies Dwindle As Dockers Strike Goes On LONDON (AP) The British dock strike began nibbling at the nation's supplies of fresh fruit today. With the stoppage by 42,000 longshoremen entering its second week and no settlement in sight, merchants said there may no bananas in the Dem stores by the end of the Dealers in the Covent market said they expected supplies of apples, oranges, lemons, peaches and plums out by Thursday or soon afterward. Meat supplies were not yet affected seriously, although New Zealand lamb increased slightly in price. It was feared that great amounts of perishables would rot in the harbors. Cargoes of 600 ships made idle by the strike included 60,000 crates of citrus fruit, mainly oranges, 11,000 tons of grapes, 7,000 tons of bananas and 600 tons of Ausralian apples.

Prime Minister Edward Heath called his Cabinet into session today to consider the timing of a declaration of national emer. gency. It was not thought to be imminent as essential food supplies were still sufficient. But it was believed that if was no sign within a the there, strike ending, an emergency would be proclaimed so the army could be used to unload food ships. The port employers and union leaders met Monday but.

A statement said the joint management-labor commitee would try to convince the dockers that the package offered them was a fair answer to the threat of containerization. But it appeared that the strike would continue for the rest of the week, at least.

Burgess. There was speculation that the Algerian government would return the $1 million as well as the plane. In a similar case two months ago, an American couple hijacked a Western Airlines Boeing 720 to Algiers after collecting $500,000. The Algerians seized the ransom money and returned it to the United States, but the two hijackers are still in Algiers awaiting a decision on their request for political asylum. One passenger who witnessed the hijacking over Florida described the leader of the gang as a "Negro male, dark, about 30, six-foot plus and weighing over 200 pounds." The witness, Detroit attorney Samuel C.

Gardner, said the man wore a black mohair suit and carried a Gideon Bible. At Miami, one gun-wielding hijacker threatened to shoot someone if they did not receive $1 million and safe passage to Algeria, a crew member reported. However, a passenger, Mrs. Raymond Kruteyez of Holland, said the hijackers all "were very well dressed. They were very polite and didn't bother the other passengers at all." After about two hours of radio negotiations between the hijackers and FBI agents, two men in bathing suits delivered the money to the plane.

After the money was hoisted into the plane with a rope, the passengers got off, and the plane departed for Boston. There were no injuries. As the officials plane flew to Boston, Delta repeatedly asked the FBI not to try to thwart the hijackers, according spokesman for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates Boston's Logan International Airport. After the plane landed about 7. p.m., it taxied to a remote apron, large adjacent to contingent Boston of Har- FBI agents clustered to watch from the airport fire station about a quarter mile away.

The hijackers demanded that the two fuel truck attendants and the navigator needed for the transatlantic flight be clad only in bathing trunks. The truck operators stood shivering as they refueled the plane, the navigator propped an aluminum ladder up to the door. Then his charts and manuals and boxes of food were hoisted by rope into the plane. As soon as the navigator climbed aboard, someone kicked the ladder away and the door slammed shut. An hour and a half after it landed at Boston, the jet took off again for Algeria.

We Don't Holler, But Fellar, Want Ads Is What It's About By MICHAEL SPATH OLD ORCHARD BEACH A bond issue totaling $200,000 for a new police and fire station was narrowly approved by voters here at a special municipal election yesterday. Proposed bond issues for construction of an auditorium and for renovating the present town hall were defeated, as was a proposed charter amendment which would have increased the school committee from three to five.

Only 771 Gallots were yesterday, about 19 cent of the 4,000 registered voters here, according to Town Clerk Barbara Lord. The proposed bond issue for the auditorium and sports complex, totaling $800,000, was overwhelmingly defeated by almost three to one margin, 195 566 against. Question No. 3, the $31,900 proposed bond "the construction restoration of the town hall and municipal facilities" was defeated, 338 votes for, 415 against. charter amendment was defeated by an 11-vote margin, 372-383, thereby leaving school committee membership at three.

The design and site for the new police and fire station have yet to be decided, but the construction bond issue for its by was approved 38-vote margin yesterday, 401 for, 363 against. Perhaps the reaction of most of the town's police and firemen was summed up in Fire Chief Thomas Smith's succinct comment upon the results -of the election: "Whoopie!" Biddeford Superintendent Responds To Charges Andrew C. Frechette, Superintendent of Biddeford Schools, today answered charges lodged against him by the Biddeford Teachers Association and Maine Teachers Association. The text of the Frechette statement is as follows: "Sometime last winter, I first read Journal in and the the Biddeford Press Herald that BTA had given me a no confidence vote with less than 25 percent of Biddeford Teachers, based two charges which I had to read about in the paper, but never given an opportunity to answer. In recent editions of the same papers, I read new charges, 'lack of courtesy', 'lack of human because supposedly I had not informed the junior high part-time assistant principal, the junior high counselor and two coaches of elimination or reclassification of their positions prior to a press report.

"Here are facts on the latest charges: "1. The School Committee outlined its tentative budget cuts June 27. "2. June 28, special meeting of all principals and assistant principals for the prime purpose of informing all of the budget cuts which would become official after the final council reading of the budget. "3.

The junior high assisant principal was seated on my right at that: meeting. He was told then and there that his position would be eliminated. "4. The junior high principal informed the position guidance counselor eliminated. The counselor admitted to me that Mr.

Harold Hanson, (Principal at B.J.H.) had relayed the information before learning about it in the paper. Paul Stebbins and James McGrath, athletic director, at this same meeting, were informed of the coaching cuts and did inform the head football coach that two coaches out of nine would be phased out, Steven Wood on July 20, the day when budget cuts were reported, in the Press Herald, called me and was informed of Where To What To JOURNAL Where To Dine? despread FOR AN ANSWER TO THESE AND ANY OTHER VACATION QUESTIONS CONSULT THE BIDDEFORD-SACO TOURIST GUIDE IN TODAY'S BIDDEFORD-SACO JOURNAL all facts stated above, yet chose to issue the charge of 'lack of human why? John Alfano, of the Maine Teachers Association who took pot shots at me in the letter, to the editor listed himself as a Biddeford Pool resident, but forgot to inform the public of his interest in this case by identifying himself further by stating that he is a paid MTA executive. The same misleading and inaccurate information on my salary was released by MTA's Alfano, to York County teachers last winter with the purpose of undermining Biddeford Mayor Boucher and myself. I never bothered to answer on the no confidence vote last winter. The B.T.A.

have not chosen to reopen this issue and I must reply. A superintendent's obligation is not only to teachers, but to the Board of Education, students, parents and taxpayers as well. He has an obligation, to try to provide the best education possible for the children of the CIty of Biddeford at a cost acceptable to the taxpayers. "Citizens, draw your own conclusions." The superintendent said he was "optimistic" about the progress of negotiations and he predicted that next Tuesday's meeting holds promise for a settlement. Sept.
