(AP) Two scuba divers plan to 245 feet to the ocean floor today for a 10-day salvage assault on the Andrea Doria, a sunken ocean liner that has eluded treasure hunters for 17 years.

In 1956, when the Italian luxury liner and a Swedish ship collided in heavy fog 45 miles off Nantucket Island, the Doria was considered a virtual floating art gallery. Cash, negotiable bonds, art treasures and jewelry worth an estimated $4 million reportedly are on the sunken liner. The divers say the art, money and jewelry are still there, protected by the sharks and deep waters of the stormy Atlantic. The divers say they can overcome problems that foiled previous expeditions by living in a 12-foot-long torpedo-shaped compartment that they will attach to the ocean floor, 245 feet from the surface. They will be supported by a crew of 10.

Divers attached buoys to the bow and stern of the ship on Monday and were attaching support lines to guide the socalled habitat to the bottom. An expedition spokesman ashore said weather conditions at the scene were reported as very good. "The Andrea Doria is the Mt. Everest seas," said Donald Rodocker, one of the organizers of the mission. "We picked the ship because it had enough on it, but it's also one of those 'because it's there' things." Rodocker, 27, has spent the past 15 months planning the adventure with Christopher DeLucchi, 22.

Both men are from San Diego, Calif. Rodocker said the mission will cost about $250,000. He said investors who financed the mission made a wise investment. In the ship's vault is $1.1 million in cash, Rodocker said. The ship's chapel has a silver plaque valued at $250,000.

And there are thousands of dollars worth of sculpture, silverware, china and paintings that may still be intact. But just who owns the loot once it is hauled to the surface in a wire cage is unclear, Fire Phone Sequence Announced A change in the telephone sequence for reporting a fire to the Hamilton Township Volunteer Fire Department was announced today by James Guinn, a member of the fire department's board of directors. Guinn said Hamilton township residents will call one of five numbers to reach fire department help during the next few weeks while a new telephone sequence system is being worked out. The fire department spokesman said Hamilton township residents reporting a fire should call either Floyd Browning at 522-7601, Joe Kerkof at 522-7760, Arthur Moorman at 522-7701, James Guinn at 643-2654 or McIntyre Grocery in Cortland at 522-7910.

m. Thursday, Voss Chapel. Burial in Riverview Cemetery. Three rattlesnakes have been killed in less than seven days this month in rough country northwest of Houston in Jackson County. Sunday morning a 62-inch long timber rattler was killed by J.

D. Francis, of the Freetown The snake struck at Francis and two companions, Wayne Ison and Terry Anderson, as. they were walking up a hill on Berry Ridge, which is in the proposed national wilderness area of Brown and Jackson counties. A 57-inch rattler was killed by James McKain, of Freetown, in the same area last week and one snake, 68 inches long, was run over recently by a car along Berry Ridge Road. The increasing number or poisonous snakes in that area reportedly is due to the fact that Monroe Reservoir has flooded thousands of nearby acres, forcing the reptiles to higher ground.

The $26 million bond issue will finance new facilities for the plant's No. 3 co*ke oven battery and the cold strip mill.

The bonds will be retired by rentals paid to East Chicago by Inland under a lease agreement. Rodocker said. He said distribution of the goods would be determined top probate court. As much as half of it could revert to the original owners. The Andrea Doria was only three years old when it was rammed by the Stockholm on the last night of a crossing from Genoa.

Most of her 1,664 passengers were rescued by other ships, but 45 lost their lives. Five persons from the Stockholm perished. Ehrlichman Continued from Page One Nixon re-election campaign. the end of the first day of testimony, Ehrlichman's story conflicted with those of Dean, Kalmbach, ex-acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray IlI and CIA officials Robert Cushman, Richard Helms and Vernon Walters.

Ervin wasn't buying all of it. The North Carolina Democrat particularly challenged Ehrlichman's assertion that White House money and campaign funds paid secretly to the Watergate lawyers and burglars were a legal defense fund similar to those set up for Ellsberg, Angela Davis or the Berrigan brothers. "But do you not think most of the people contributed to their funds because they believed in the cases they stood for?" Ervin said. "I assume that," Ehrlichman said. "Well, certainly the Committee to Re-elect the President and the White House aides like yourself did not believe in the cause of burglars or wiretappers, did you?" "No," Ehrlichman said.

He said the idea was to get good lawyers for the Watergate defendants and so delay the wiretapping trial until after the election. "'That trial would have some political impact and good representation was simply essential," he said. Ervin also challenged Ehrlichman's contention that the President has the constitutional power, and even an obligation, to authorize burglary such as that of Dr. Lewis Fielding, the Beverly Hills, psychiatrist who treated Daniel Ellsberg, the man who gave the Pentagon Papers to newsmen. The break-in was done by the White House "plumbers" unit, which was under Ehrlichman's general supervision.

Ehrlichman said Congress recognized the power of the President do anything necessary" to protect "national security information against foreign intelligence activities." Ehrlichman said he specifically authorized a operation to examine all the medical files still held by Ellsberg's psychoanalyst." But he denied that he authorized a burglary, or even anything illegal or unethical. He said he believed a trained investigator could get the medical information from a doctor or nurse in some acceptable fashion. He didn't explain how. Ehrlichman quoted Nixon as saying in March that the breakin had been a constitutional, national-security operation. Nixon said.

May 22 he didn't authorize the break- in, didn't know about it ahead of time and would have stopped it if he had. Ehrlichman said Nixon personally instructed the White House staff, months before the Watergate raid, not to discuss the activities of the plumbers. TONITE THRU SAT.
