The district attorney's office said it was "seriously consider ing" exhuming the body of Abraham Tclvi, 21. whom the FBI claims was killed by mob sters because acid burns on his face made him too "hot." Tclvi was found slain on the lower East Eide on July 28. A police autopsy, however, disclosed no acid burns on the body's face. The autopsy also indicated a discrepancy in the size of the body compared to descriptions of the acid-thrower given by witnesses to the attack on Riesel. Police "broke" their own case Monday with the surrender of Hugh Francis Drescher, 23. wanted for questioning about a wave of gangland executions which followed the acid throw ing incident. Drescher was an acquaintance of the murdered Telvi.

Mak Arrangements Expedition leader Henri Beau dot also of Montreal, boarded a passing ship as the raft neared the English coast Monday and came ashore to make final ar rangements for the L'egare II's arrival here. Beaudot took a taxi to the custom house quay early today and arrived just as the low-slung log raft waddled into the har bor behind the life boat. The sea was calm and the sun glittered across the water as hundreds of Britons lined the docks to cheer the arrival. It was the biggest welcome in Fal mouth since 1952, when Capt. Kurt Carlsen arrived here after his fight with the sea aboard the crippled Flying Enterprise. Le egare II. a 220-square foot vessel made of cedar beams lash ed together with rope, sailed from Nova Scotia May 24.

"We have been starving," said Beaudot as he stepped ashore on Monday night. "For the last 30 days we have been without food." He said he and his com panions lived on fish and plank ton, while rain was their only source of drinking water.

"Te Actress, Photogra Differences After Hollywood (U.R) Curvaci ous Diana Dors and a bruised United Press photographer ap parently have decided to "let by gones be bygones" in the wake of Hollywood's most celebrated dunking in years. The British actress and three others wound up in the swim ming pool of her fashionable Beverly Hills home during a gay party Sunday night. Photo grapher Stewart Sawyer re mained dry but was decked by the star's husband, Dennis Ham ilton, a former heavyweight professional boxer. Hamilton pounced on Sawyer after accusing him of pushing his wife into the pool "to get an ex clusive picture." Sawyer denied the charge, declaring he was standing some distance from the pool with actor Guy Madison. Miss Dors and her husband both underwent x-ray examina tions at their physician's office Monday. Dr. Stanley Immerman pher Patch Up Poolside Fight said the actress was suffering from a sprained back while her husband had a fractured right hand. Sawyer suffered a broken nose and numerous bruises and lacerations on his head. He was unconscious when rescued from the beating. The photographer, however, said he would not take any legal action, although under Calif ornia law an attack by a profes sional boxer constitutes grounds for charges of assault with a deadly weapon. Miss Dors and Hamilton also agreed to forget about the incident.
