The Federal Labor Relations Authority heard 2 hours of argumen- ts, but gave no indications whether it would decertify the union or try to get talks started again. A decision is not expected for at least a week. THE ADMINISTRATION repeatedly has said it will not resume negotiations and considers the strike over. Two days after the walkout "began, Reagan or- dered 11,600 striking air controllers fired and told the Federal Aviation Administration to begin rebuilding the air control system. FAA lawyer Dolph Sand told the three-member labor authority that to order new talks would be "sanctioning strikes by federal employees" despite a law prohibiting such strikes.

(AP) - Baton-weilding patrolmen broke up a blockade at the gate to the Diablo Canyon atomic power plant yesterday after more than 1,000 protesters again besieged the site and turned back busloads of workers. Arrests for trespassing rose to 631. But despite two days of confrontation, the lagely symbolic protest had litle ef- fect on the $2.3 billion Pacific Gas and Electric Co. plant, which has not begun operations pending a Nuclear Regulatory Comission meeting next Monday. THE PROTESTERS maintain that nuclear power in general is unsafe and that the plant in particular is dangerous theatre and its ents in an NTO GLOBE mically SUN of the popular NING NEWS -Jay Carr, iful . .. directed JNDAY idan g comedies in Carolyn A. because it is located near an offshore earthquake fault. About 1 p.m., blue-helmeted Califor- nia Highway Patrol Officers carrying batons cleared out a group of demon- strators at the gate, about seven miles from the reactor itself. All those inside the fence were arrested for trespassing, and those outside, including reporters, were pushed aside so buses carrying workers could enter. That incident followed a sea chase with the Coast Guard and a tense six- hour morning confrontation at the gate during which a "human chain" of demonstrators blocked the road into the plant-and a lone woman, Itara O'Con- nel, sat down under the front of the lead bus and was nearly run over. She was nothurt. THE LEAD BUS driver, Joe Heck, a PG&E employee who wore a T-shirt that said, "I Ran the Blockade at Diablo Canyon," inched the bus for- ward above O'Connell's legs. But she would not move, and ultimately the buses withdrew.' "I didn't plan it," O'Connell said, but she insisted she would not have moved even had the bus run her over. From the sea, five swimmers came ashore near the reactor after being launched from the 70-foot protest schooner, the Stone Witch, in three rub- ber rafts with outboard motors. AFTER THE swimmers were drop- ped off, the Coast Guard cutter Cape Hedge, blue lights flashing and roaring along at 31 knots, chased the rafts, each still manned by two protesters. The fjve swimmers were arrested on the beach, and the six others in the rafts were arrested at the fuel dock at Availa Beach, the Coast Guard said. Inside the 735-acre site, patrolme and deputies arrested small bands o protesters hiking toward the reactor. Sheriff's Sgt. Leon Cole said the nearest any protesters got to the reac- tor was about a quarter-mile. THE COST OF LAW enforcement during the demonstration has been put at about $50,000 a day. On Tuesday, the first day of the assault, a total of 563 people were arrested, 247 of them women and threi of them juveniles. The men were held at a community college gymnasium and the women at the California Men's Colony prison near here until they posted, bond. The juveniles were released. The 631 arrests, including those that occured Tuesday after protesters used assault ladders to scale the barbed-wire fence around the site, surpassed the 487 arrests at the plant during a protest in 1978. One of- those arrested yesterday was free-lance newsman Marshall Phillips, who was helping cover the protest for Associated Press Radio.
