I Section 1 Chicago Tribune, Sunday, June 25, 1978 Giant sharks: 2 Fishing boats: 0 Former executive indicted in soda firm blast scheme i i in Fron Tnoune Wirt Serices MADISON, Wis. A former soda company executive ho was blinded in an explosion last year is among three men indicted for plotting the explosion as part of a scheme to get control of two By Joseph Egelhof Chlcaw Tribunt Press Service MONTAUK, N.Y. A second giant shark identified as a man-eating Great White, or "Jaws" type, was harpooned 40 miles off this Long Island port Saturday, but like the first one, it got away. The shark-wild crowd at Montauk Marine Basin cheered when the word flashed over the jadio from the 25-foot boat Say Fish at 1:20 p.m.: "Say Fish got him on." Ken Grimshaw, a veteran aircraft fish finder who spotted the shark and guided the Say Fish to it, said it was definitely a Great White and was 25 to 30 feet long. The shark immediately dived for the bottom, taking the harpoon line and attached buoy with him and disappeared, Grimshaw said.

After a 2M-hour search, the Say Fish gave up the hunt until Sunday. It apparently was not the same fish that had been harpooned Friday and also managed to break loose. mil UPI Ttltoholo THAT SHARK battled 13 hours 20 minutes with the 38-foot boat Ebb Tide before a nylon rope broke. Late Friday night, Capt. John Sweet-man, skipper of the Ebb his leviathan, which he estimated to be 30 feet long, "played with us like a toy" and "won fair." He estimated the Great White was 30 feet long and 6 feet in diameter.

Sweetman said the action started when he noticed a "disturbance" in the water 14 miles from Montauk at 7:30 a.m. Friday. "Then we saw the fin come up, come up, come up, higher and higher," he said. "I called to the mate, my son Jimmy, and he went forward with the harpoon." Jimmy Sweetman said. "I hit him hard, about at the dorsal fin." "He took off like a wild bull straight to the open sea and went down maybe 60, 70 feet," the father continued.

The harpoon was attached to 20 feet of cable, which was attached to 420 feet of nylon line tied to two beer barrel buoys. Everything went out, and it didn't seem to bother "Jaws." AFTER Hi HOURS OF following the spinning buoys, Sweetman decided something heavier was needed to tire the shark. They threw a flying gaff at the buoys and succeeded in tying them to the stern of the boat. The engines were shut off. The boat began moving backward.

Sweetman said "Jaws" towed the boat 12 miles out to sea at speeds ranging from 2 to 5'2 knots. "He just did about anything he wanted to do and he was the most unpredictable thing you ever want to see," the captain said. "He was up to the top three times. The guy that got the best took at him was the mate on the Montauk, Mike. He said, 'Oh my "THE SHARK WENT under the boat The crew of the Ebb Tide watches its lines as the 38-foot charter boat battles a 30-foot Great White snark off Long Island Friday.

garage, and the garage exploded. INVESTIGATORS SEARCHED the plane and found a description of a timing device for explosives and other items. The indictment said William Joyce resigned from his positions on' Aug. 5, at the request of John M. Joyce, JBI board chairman.

William Joyce and his family were left with about 37 per cent of JBI's outstanding stock. In November and December of 1975, William Joyce filed various lawsuits against the company, its subsidiaries, and officers and offered to settle for the Madison and Illinois subsidiaries. The offer was rejected. In May, 1977, the indictment said, William Joyce paid English and Guinta, 46, Palos Heights, 111., an undisclosed amount to intimidate and silence the company's witnesses in his lawsuits. THE INDICTMENT SAID English and Guinta then hired two other men, Donald Hardt and Bruno Nardi, for $2,000 and assigned them tasks ranging from making tlireatening telephone calls to throwing a brick through the window of the Chicago Seven-Up offices.

Hardt and Nardi were named as unin-dicted coconspirators. English was arrested Friday in Colorado and released after posting 10 per cent cf $50,000 bail. Guinta was arrested Friday night in Illinois, and Joyce was told to appear in court for arraignment. Offer sports program Kennedy-King College, 6800 S. Went-worth is participating in the Nation-a Youth Sports Program this summer.

The program, which began Monday, will continue for six weeks and will include subsidiaries of his company. William Joyce 37, former official of Joyce Beverage Inc. JB1J, of New Rochelle, N.Y., the nation's largest 7-Up distributor, was indicted for conspiring to use violence to get control of two JBI subsidiaries, Illinois 7-L'p Bottling Co. nd Madison Wis. Bottling Co.

Also charged in the indictment were John Guinta, 46, of Palos Heights, 111. and John English, 33, of Denver. They were arrested Friday night, shortly after a federal grand jury returned the indictments in Madison. The intricate plot involves a family feud, organized crime, and a death in the explosion that left Joyce blinded. JOYCE, 37, formerly of Jolict, Is accused of enlisting two men in a campaign of intimidation and violence against the company and his cousin, Thomas Joyce, president of another JBI subsidiary, Chicago Seven-Up Bottling Co.

The blast occurred Aug. 13 in the garage of the Minocqua home, Thomas Joyce's retreat. It killed Joseph Banno, 57, Oak Lawn, 111., and blinded the now-indicted William Joyce Jr. Banno reportedly had ties to crime syndicate figures in suburban Chicago. Banno and Joyce flew to Minocqua in a leased plane to plant a bomb in the garage, according to the indictment.

The indictment cited statements made to authorities by Jolin Goltz. Goltz met Banno and Joyce at an airport and drove them to the home. Banno and Joyce carried an unidentified object into the garage. Twenty minutes later, they returned, then walked back into the CONNECTICUT i two or three timea and spun it around. A couple of times me and my son both had our knives out ready to cut the line because he was pulling the stern down in the water.

The six guys on the boat with us were saying, 'What do we do next, captain'? Darkness had closed over the saga when the nylon frayed at the point where it was swiveled with the cable. Sweetman said the shark was "very tired" when he got away. "We could have got him if we went to firearms and pumped a lot of lead into him, but I didn't want to do that. He was a beautiful animal." The biggest Great White shark ever caught by rod and reel weighed 2,661 pounds and was 16 feet, 10 inches long. Fear has risen that the wounded giant may turn to feeding at the beaches, but Sweetman doubted it.

He said the shark's body acids will quickly dissolve the harpoon end. He also said that sharks that come in after swimmers usually are "incapable of competing for food in their normal habitat, mixed up, sick." "This guy will be able to compete anywhere after a good night's sleep," he said. Nick Monte, head of Gurnee's Inn in Montauk, charged that the shark scare was "too coincidental" with the movie "Jaws 2" and said, "I feel it is a promotional hoax." He threatened a lawsuit against the movie promoters for scare tactics detrimental to beach patronage. Carl Derenberg, head of Montauk Marine Basin, denied it was a hoax and said, ''I wouldn't even know how to start one." sports programs, medical examinations, and breakfast and lunch for persons 10 to 18 years of age.

ASKED ABOUT reports he might hold talks with Dayan in London in July, Kamel responded, "It is a possibility," the Egyptian news agency reported. U.S. officials said in Washington on Friday that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance plans to take part in the projected Kamel-Dayan meeting. The rapid-fire announcements were the first indications in months of lethargic negotiations that the momentum cf the peace process was being revived. Egyptian-Israeli talks stalled last January over Israel's refusal to surrender occupied Arab lands or allow creation of a Palestinian homeland.

THE APPARENT movement toward new talks comes six days after the Israeli Cabinet refused to commit itself to full withdrawal from the West Bank ami Gaza Strip. The agency quoted Sadat as saying, "The general situation is developing into a serious attempt from the side of Carter to start the wheel of peace An unnamed official source also was quoted by the agency as confirming re- -ports that Vice President Mondale would pay an official visit to Egypt on July 3 and "would probably carry a message from Carter to Sadat."

Washington had hoped the replies would provide for resuming peace talks and was disappointed at Israel's response. The Israeli Cabinet, after a marathon debate, promised it would negotiate "future relations" with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip after five years of limited Palestinian self-rule in the territories, captured in the 1907 Mideast War. settlement.

Sadat proposed the idea last month as an alternative to negotiating with Israel for creation of a Palestinian state, an idea Israel opposes. The news agency said the draft plan would be ready within two days and would then be delivered to the United States. SADAT MET for two hours Saturday in Alexandria with U.S. Ambassador Hermann Eilts, who delivered a message from President Carter and received a reply, the agency said. CAIRO I APJ Foreign Minister Mo-hamed Ibrahim Kamel announced Saturday that Egypt was drafting a new peace plan and said there was a "possibility" he would meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan in London next month.

The official Middle East News Agency quoted Kamel as saying the plan would be based on President Anwar Sadat's suggestion that the occupied Gaza Strip and West Bank of the Jordan River be returned to the control of Egypt and Jordan respectively as part of a peace Compromise near on Memorial daze Fun and games buoy legislators rushing to complete work on hundreds of bills before next weekend's scheduled adjournment of the Illinois General Assembly.

DiPrima argued that statewide veterans' organizations should make the decision, and said he plans to ask the groups to change their minds on celebrating Memorial Day on May 30 instead of on a Monday. The groups meet in Chicago next month.

But DiPrima finally agreed when Rep. Gene Hoffman Elmhurst said it would be hard for schools to make up their calendars without a decision before the end of the season. The House carried on the mood later in the day by receiving an earlier bill, which had been tabled, to officially change Illinois' celebration to the federal holiday.

Rep. Larry DiPrima Chicago agreed reluctantly to become a cosponsor of a proposal to let local school districts decide when they will close in observance of Memorial Day. "It's a sad day," said DiPrima, who wanted to offer legislation next spring to change to Monday the federal holiday, which would have covered school districts, local governmental units, and state offices.

This year, May 30 ended up on a Tuesday. Chicago schools closed for both days to settle the problem, but some legislators charged that schools may have lost a day's funding from the federal government on some programs because of the double closing. "We can't have a good parade if we're out of step," said Rep. Giddy Dver Hinsdale. Some legislators didn't agree, however.
