The body of Eugene Flister, 60, of the Westchester County community of North Salem, was discovered with the other beating victim shortly after 5 in the afternoon at 99-72 66th Road in Forest Hills, Both had been attacked with a galvanized metal pipe, police said. Robbery appeared to be the reason the other man were assault ed, police said. Police were looking for a maroon 1966 Chevrolet Impala believed to have been taken by the killers from the garage. 'The superintendent of the building summoned police to the scene. Officers found Raphael Bawelues, 58, badly beaten but alive. They then noticed Flister's body, which had been stuffed .. into a car in the garage. Bawelues was in guarded condition at Elmhurst General Hospital, police said, adding that the victim was supplying details of the incident. School Start - By Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland school officials say they are considering delaying opening of school this fall and may ask U.S. District Judge Frank J. Battisti to delay a busing plan until the second semester. John E. Gallagher Jr., Board of Edu- cation president, says it will be difficult to complete the work necessary for the desegregation plan by the scheduled opening of schools Sept. 4. The plan, approved this week, re- quires the busing of about 6,000 pupils in three high schools in the first semester. \It's a substantial burden on the ad- ministration that we might not be able to overcome,\ Gallagher said. He said staggered school openings would minimize possible desegregation problems. Gallagher said the safety of students cannot be guaranteed if school officials fail to complete the work, which includes® notifying students by mail, routing buses and the transfer of records. He also noted that a stay on the dese- gregation order still has not been lifted by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

Breakthrough Gets Power From Ocean ' HONOLULU (AP) - In what officials called an \historic breakthrough\ in al- ternative energy sources, sun-heated ocean water is being used to produce 50,000 watts of electricity on a barge off the Island of Hawaii. Gov. George Ariyoshi wrote President Carter on Friday to tell him of the pro- ject, calling it \a workable, renewable, essentially inexhaustible energy re- source which can be brought on-line soon.\ This would be the first time electrical energy has been outside labo- atory conditions in a self-sustaining process called UTEC - ocean thermal leaving 10,000 watts for actual use. Ariyosh! described the OTEC process as \exceptionally clean, unlike coal, oil or gas. ''The electricity comes from a genera- tor turned by a turbine powered by the expansion of heated ammonia. The am- monia expansion and tion are caused directly by the 'fuel' which is our sun-beated tropical ocean water,\ he sald The experimental project, which cost in excess of $3 million, is a joint effort of the state, Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. Inc., the Dillingham Corporation of awail bermal INC. and other Industrial firms In cooperation with the county of Hawail. The barge was loaned by the U.S. Navy. There were no federal funds involved.
