Ingalls From The Associated Press A deluge in its sixth day carved away more California hillsides and left thousands homeless at an inundated Navy base yesterday as "one storm right after another" rolled in from the Pacific. The death toll climbed to at least 22 in the rainstorms that began last week. The victims included 16 in California, three in Arizona, and three American tourists swept away by floodwaters in Tijuana, Mexico, just across the bor- der. AMONG THE latest victims were two Burbank area residents who were killed when a light plane crashed during a storm Sunday night in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Saugus, Calif. Two other persons were seriously injured in the crash.

"S.P.E.R.M."-T-SHIRT SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EQUAL RIGHTS FOR MEN Sbo f3T rainstorms in Southern California, where mudslides and high water have caused millions of dollars in damage. "There's one storm right after the other," said National Weather Seirvice forecaster Al Bascomb. "There's so many I can't keep track." ABOUT 3,000 people were evacuated for the second time in less than 24 hours yesterday when more than 550 homes were inundated with up to five feet of mud and water at Point Mugu Naval Air Station, a missile weapons test cen- ter about 60 miles north of Los Angeles. "Some people were just beginning to return to their homes about midnight when a sailor trying to tow a vehicle from a ditch along the highway yelled over the radio, 'Here it gomes again,' " said base spokesman Ray Lucasey. The wall of water left two-thirds of the houses on the base awash and flooded the base chapel, gymnasium, and even some higher-elevation barracks "within a few minutes," Lucasey said. "HUNDREDS OF sailors have been going back and forth all night in water up to their necks bringing people and belongings out of the flooded housing," Lucasey said. Hollywood divorce attorney Marvin Mitchelson saw his home in Hollywood Hills left perched precariously on the edge of a cliff created when the wet hillside gave way and flattened another house down the hill. In Phoenix, only three of the ten bridges were open across the normally dry Salt River, which became a raging torrent in its 20-mile run through the metropolitan area of 1.5 million people over the weekend. But authorities said there were no significant traffic problems yesterday, partly because it was a holiday. ABOUT 400 homes in the Phoenix area were damaged in flooding along with hundreds of streets and bridges. No estimate of the damage was available. Il 01 -SHIRT COLORS avy, Black, Lt.

(UPI) - The Ford Motor Co. executive in charge of the 1973 Pinto testified yesterday he was not familiar with statistics which led the government to ask the firm to recall that car because of fuel system problems. In other testimony, a consultant to the Big Three automakers said he never cautioned Ford about fires in rear end collisions because they are so rare. BOTH MEN testified at Ford's trial for negligent homicide in the deaths of three girls whose 1973 Pinto exploded in flames when struck from the rear by a van. Prosecutor Michael Cosentino tried to get into evidence figures from a study for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, on which he said the agency based its recommendation the 1973 Pinto be recalled for changes in its fuel system. Cosentino said those figures for 1973 cars showed Pintos suffered twice the national average for deaths in rear end collisions resulting in fire. HAROLD MACDONALD, the engineer in charge of Ford passenger cars from 1965 to 1975, replied to every question about the study, "I am not familiar with those statistics." Judge Harold Staffeldt instructed the jury not to regard the figures quoted by Cosentino as evidence. The prosecutor told reporters he would try again to get those figures admitted into evidence. MacDonald, who said he and his son both owned and drove 1973 Pintos, cited another set of federal statistics for 1975- 76 comparing the Pinto to the avera of all other cars in fatal accidents which there was a fire. HE SAID only 673 fatal accidents in that period involved fires, and only 13 of those fires were in Pintos. He said there were 96 million autos in operation in that period, of which 1,850,000 were Pin- tos. Donald Huelke, professor of anatomy at the University's Medical School, w* has been a consultant to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, said fires in auto collisions are "extremely rare events." He said in a study of more than'3,500 accidents he investigated since 1961, he remembered only two fire deaths. Huelke said his research was done prior to the 1973 model year, so his data did not include the 1973 Pinto. HUELKE SAID Ford hired him frr 1965 to 1973 because "they wanted to s what was happening in the real world" in accident injuries. He said he lectured Ford employees monthly, but never mentioned fire in rear end accidents because there were more important things to talk about. CHEENOS NEW SPRING COLORS NOW IN Fresh out of the Seabees, I sought out some t'op-flight engineers who knew their disciplines, and would share their knowledge. And weren't afraid to see newcomers take hold and become project leaders. I found what I wanted here at Duke Power, so I became a "temporary" But what looked like a learning experience has turned into a career, with a lot of responsibility. Like in 1963, when I helped build Cowans hydro generation for our system and impound Lake Norman, with its 550-mile shoreline. It's the cooling pond for Plant Marshall, our world-beating, high-efficiency coal-fired steam station. And for McGuire Nuclear Station, being prepared now to go on-line. You can discover career excitement here, too. With competitive salaries, great benefits, a fine cultural calendar and continuing education opportunities at major colleges and year-round golf and tennis. Or fishing for the big ones (in Lake Norman, of course). Want to know more? Tell me what you're after, and enclose a copy of your resume and transcript. Write to me at Duke Power Company, P O.
