Sources said the Panama Canal Co. was planning new -r moves to force the pilots back to work or to move ships without them. Canal officials said 125 of the 189 pilots reported sick Sunday, and labor sources said six have resigned.
The sources added that the pilots were awaiting a reply from the company to their est settlement proposal. The dispute began last June. The Gulfrey, a 165-foot vessel owned by the local subsidiary of Gulf Petroleum, entered the canal under the guidance of one of its former skippers who holds a pilot's license, sources said. The Gulfrey was one of five ships going through the canal Sunday. There was a backlog of 62 ships at the Pacific entrance and 56 at the Atlantic entrance.
Canal officials said they were discussing the possibility of letting captains of ships less than 70 feet in beam take their own vessels through the canal. The Gulfrey's beam is 30 feet. Capt. Donald Dertien, the canal's marine director, said that no system of priorities had been worked out for untangling the backlog of ships, but he suggested that vessels with perishable cargo might be among the first allowed through. The issues involved in the dispute have not been disclosed, but sources said they include wages, fringe benefits, work load and disciplinary action against some pilots for alleged violations of speed and other regulations.

Key Agnew Witness Takes Polygraph Test NEW YORK (AP) Time Magazine said Sunday that a key witness against Vice President Spiro T. Agnew in an investigation of an alleged kickback scandal has taken a lie detector test. Time said the test showed that the witness, Jerome Wolff, "told the truth about delivering funds extorted from contractors to Agnew." Time said that in exchange for a promise of limited immunity, Wolff has agreed to testify that "Agnew has extorted bribes from state and federal contractors." Time said an article in this week's issue would report that Wolff, president of Greiner Environmental Systems, has turned over to prosecutors a diary listing some of the payoffs he allegedly delivered to Agnew while the vice president was governor of Maryland. The diary covers a period from 1967 to 1968 when Agnew was governor and Wolff was head of the state road commission a job he was appointed to by Agnew, Time said. Wolff's firm has been named as one of eight contractors who supplied illegal funds, according to the magazine.
Time said the lie detector test came after the Justice Department's chief criminal prosectuor, Henry E. Peterson, visited Baltimore where the investigation is being conducted. The magazine said the polygraph findings probably will not be admissable in any court proceedings, but noted that "government witnesses are frequently asked to take lie detector tests as a means of convincing prosecutors that there is a strong case against a prospective defendant." U.S. Atty. George Beall, heading the probe, has asked other witnesses to take similar tests, Time said.
