"If it's clear tonight, he will be able to see the lights of Land's End,"' an RAF spokes- man said at St. Mawgain. He will also be able to see burning beacons that will carry the news of his sighting along the last 80 miles of his 38,500- mile voyage. The last time the beacons were lit was nearly 400 years ago--to signal the sighting of the Spanish Armada to Sir Fran- cis Drake. His wife, Lady Chichester, ar- rived in Plymouth Friday night, ready to greet him when his epic voyage ends. The lone sea- man told her in a radio message that he is planning to arrive at Plymouth at 11 a.m. Sunday. Millions of Britons watched Sir Francis on the last stages of his journey in a live televi- sion broadcast from the Com- mercial Television Network's vessel Albert V Friday night. The signals were transmitted to an aircraft flying overhead, which relayed them to the satel- lite tracking station 'at Goon- hilly, near Land's End, where they were fed into the network. He was then about 150 miles from Land's End. At the St. Mawgan base RAF Shackleton planes set out this morning to watch over the tiny boat as she headed for the English coast When Gipsy Moth IV reaches Plymouth Sound, Lady Chiches- ter will go out in the barge of the Royal Navy's Commander- in-Chief, Plymouth, with her son Giles and board Gipsy Moth.

U.S. marines and North Viet- namese soldiers were locked in a fierce fight for Hill 117 just inside the demilitarized zone. Heavy fighting was reported in the three northernmost prov- inces of South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese sent more than 1,000 soldiers, sup- ported by armored vehicles, on a sweep today just outside the ancient city of Hue, capital of Thua Thien province. Within three miles, the South Vietnamese hit about 500 Viet Cong guerrillas and fought a three-hour battle, with air and artillery support. Sixty guerril- las were reported killed. MOVE IN SOUTH To the south, in Quang Tin province, U.S. marines lifted the security wraps on an opera- tion south of Da Nang. In the preceding 24 hours, marines killed 172 guerrillas in a series of sharp battles through thick underbrush and rugged terrain. On Hill 117 the marines had announced killing at least 41 North Vietnamese, while losing 14 killed and 102 wounded.

A U.S. Diplomats Turn To UN For Next Round On Crisis WASHINGTON (AP) -- With the departure of Israel's For- eign Minister Abba Eban, U.S. diplomats turned to the United Nations today for the next round in strenuous diplomatic efforts to keep the Middle East crisis from erupting into a shooting war. Eban wound up a hurried trip to Washington with a 14-hour talk with President Johnson Fri- day night before returning to Is- rael to report to-Premier Levi Eshkol. By agreement, neither the White House nor the Israeli leader would comment on Eban's 1% days of discussions with Johnson, State Secretary Dean Rusk, Defence Secretary Robert McNamara and other high officials. Israel wants U.S. backing to keep open the Gulf of Aqaba, its narrow water link to the Red Sea. Egypt says it has closed the Gulf to Israeli ships and vessels carrying war goods to the Israeli port of Elath. The United States contends the gulf is an international waterway but is pressing for a diplomatic solution rather than a physical test that could pre- cipitate armed conflict. To give diplomats more time, most ships apparently are steering clear of the gulf.

Three Arrested On Gold Theft LONDON (AP) -- A 24-year- old woman telephone operator and two men were ordered held without bail today on charges of conspiracy in the theft of some $2,000,000 worth of gold bullion. During preliminary hearing, detectives gave no indication whether they had traced any of the gold that a gang hijacked in London May 1. But Det. Insp. Jack Prichard said large sums of money were found on the three accused and suggested they were "proceeds of the sale of stolen gold." "There is a multitude of in- quiries still to be made in this matter," he said. Magistrate E. J.
