Israel And Egypt Warn War Could Explode

By THE ASSOC I A TED PRESS Israel and Egypt warned simultaneously Sunday that the Middle East war could explode anew over the Egyptian demand that Israeli forces pull back to the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines. The warnings came as the Tel Aviv military command said Israeli and Egyptian Soldiers blazed away at one another with small arms fire for about an hour near Ismailia in the central sector of the Suez Canal and near Bur Taufiq at the waterway’s southern end. The Israeli defense minister, Moshe Dayan, said Egypt is concentrating its forces and can “definitely” be expected to renew fighting because of dissatisfaction with the Oct. 24 truce lines. “We have to realize the war is not yet over,” Dayan declared in an interview on the Israeli state radio. Egypt warned meanwhile that it might resume the war unless Israel withdraws to the Oct. 22 lines as required by the U.N. truce resolution. And in Damascus, the Syrian radio said Arabs will accept nothing less than complete Israeli withdrawal from the Arab land occupied in 1967 and during last month’s war.

‘‘Any continuing fooling around by Golda Meir will only lead to a resumption of the fighting,” the Syrian commentator added. The talk of possible renewed fighting came amid intense diplomatic activity in several capitals and was perhaps aimed at the big-power officials trying to arrange a peace settlement. Efforts to reinforce the ceasefire and get negotiations started have stalled so far on Israel’s insistence on getting a prisoner exchange before moving back, and Egypt’s equally adamant insistence that the pullback must come before anything else. U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger departs Monday for a trip that includes a tour of Arab capitals as part of his efforts to bring the Arabs and Israelis together in some peace formula. Against this background. Egyptian government spokesman Ahmad Anis was asked at a Cairo news conference whether Egypt had set a deadline for the Israeli pullback to the Oct. 22 lines. “The withdrawal to the lines of Oct. 22 is supposed to be carried . out immediately,” Anis said. “The evasion of the implementations of the resolution

do constitute a very serious situation, the results of which could again indeed be very serious with regards to the peace of the area.” Asked whether this meant Egypt might go back to war, he replied: “It could of course mean that Egypt will go back to war. We cannot sit with our hands tied in face of these violations.” But Anis avoided setting any deadline or time limit af er which Egypt would resume the fighting. His comments were interpreted as signals to U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, due in Cairo Tuesday night on a peacemaking mission. Kissinger’s visit is eagerly awaited in Cairo, in official circles and among people listening to their radios, in anticipation that his renowned negotiating skills will come up with something that can be turned into an acceptable peace. Israeli Premier Golda Meir prepared to leave Washington on Sunday after her intensive secret talks with Kissinger, who also was discussing settlement terms in the American capital with visiting Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy. Anis said Egypt expected

Wild Partridge Becomes Man’s Regular (Companion

STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn. <AP) — Wild birds aren't supposed to be friendly with human beings, but nobody apparently ever told Chippy the partridge. For the last three years, Guppy has been a regular companion of Gildo Gregory, the sexton of St Edward's Church. ‘ He just came walking out of the woods,” Gregory said. Chippy will often follow Gregory around from one end of the churchyard to the other. "Once I play with him I can’t get rid of him.” Gregory said he tried feeding Chippy, "but he wouldn't eat. All he'd eat was leaves and things.” Gregory says the start of a day may find Chippy waiting for him to arrive at work. "He knows my truck. When I stop to unload the riding mower he’s right by the truck. Sometimes

he jumps up on the front seat,” he explained. Some nights, the bird even follows the truck down the dirt road until it's out of sight, he said. Chippy visits Gregory during the warmer months and then disappears between fall and spring. New England wildlife experts say the bird-man relationship is unusual. Similar instances, however, have been reported. "We have a naturalist up here who feeds wild birds, and we’ve heard of a few cases where a wild bird or animal takes to someone,” William Mincher, a Maine Fish and Game official, said. He added, however, that while a wild bird may take a fancy to one individual, it may not always be tame for others. Gregory agrees. “No one else can get within 100 feet of Chippy.”

sedative’s unlawful possession will bring possible prison terms of up to four years, and fines of up to $25,000. A move to place methaqualone on the list — Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act — was delayed last spring when one of the pharmaceutical firms marketing the drug filed an

appeal.

Ruling Expected Now the hearings have been concluded and lawyers for the Drug Enforcement Administration and William H. Rorer & Company have submitted final briefs to the administrative law judge. If he upholds the government, as observers here believe likely, the acting head of DEA, John R. Bartels, Jr., is expected to give 30 days’ notice, after which illegal possession of methaqualone would become a federal crime. Methaqualone was developed in India in the 1950’s and has been prescribed in Europe for more than a decade as a sedative and an aid against insomnia. A nonbarbiturate hypnotic, the drug was introduced into the United States by Rorer a few years ago. Since then, other pharmaceutical companies have entered the field. The drug sells today under such trade names as “Quaalude,” “Soper,” “Rarest,” “Optimil,” and others. Sample packets of pills, along with literature stating that “psychological dependence rarely occurs” and “physical dependence rarely reported.’’ poured into physicians’ offices. Inevitably, the pills found their way into the street. ‘Top Ten’ List In a magazine article last October, John Steinbeck IV reported, “Nationally, quaalude is running an even race for popularity with illicit methadone.” His statement was supported by federal law officers, who listed methaqualone among the “top ten drugs of abuse in the United

States.”

Steinbeck described the sensation after popping the tranquilizer as, “My skin was tingling and I was feeling nice - a feeling not unlike what a couple of pipes of opium and a cup of hot tea gives you.” Another drug user said of the capsules: “For a while, you’re as light and hollowed out as a marshmallow.” Despite these testimonials, and the advertising claims of the manufacturers, methaqualone has been shown to be addictive, and withdrawal symptoms when an individual quits taking it can be severe A number of fatal overdoses have been reported. Authorities believe these frequently occur because the pills are insoluble in water, but will dissolve in alcohol, leading some users to take them in that fashion. Alcohol increases the strength of the drug and can result in a coma and death.

Kissinger will talk with President Anwar Sadat about how to carry out the U.N. cease-fire resolution, including its pullback provisions. The resolution was sponsored in the United Nations by the United States and the Soviet Union. The Oct. 24 Security Council truce called on both sides to return to positions they held as of the Oct. 22 cease-fire that was never respected. Egypt claims that Israel grabbed a large chunk of Egyptian land between the two truces. Israel claims no one really knows where the Oct. 22 lines lay, and insists the pullback cannot be considered until its prisoners of war are returned in some exchange with Egypt and Syria. Egypt’s top military spokesman, Gen. Izzedin Mukhtar, said at the Cairo news conference that Egypt began four

days ago to honor an agreement with Israel on the exchange of wounded prisoners. But he charged that Israel

failed to live up to its side of the bargain. He and Anis said an unspeci-

fied number of Israeli wounded had actually been handed over under the auspices of the International Red Cross. They de-

clined to give the total number of Israeli wounded r Egyptian hands.

North Vietnam Attacks Two Government Camps

By DENNIS NEELD Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP> — North Vietnamese tanks and infantry attacked two government camps close to the Cambodian border Sunday, the Saigon command said. At the same time, the Viet Cong issued a new order to its forces threatening a further escalation of fighting in South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese assault, spearheaded by at least 20 tanks, touched off one of the fiercest battles since the Jan. 28 cease-fire, the Saigon command said. The command’s spokesman, Lt. Col. Le Trung Hien, said it was the largest number of tanks the North Vietnamese have committed to a single battle since the cease-fire. He claimed that nine of the tanks were knocked out in eight hours of fighting. The COmmunist-led forces occupied a Montagnard tribal village lying between the two hilltop positions, but the government camps still were holding out, Hien said. The site is two miles from the Cambodian border and 125 miles northeast of Saigon. The two government positions are defended by about 300 troops with armor and artillery, the spokesman said. Government artillerymen destroyed several tanks at a range of 500 yards while others were knocked out by air strikes, Hien said. Increased Communist activity was detected in Quang Due several days ago, and as a result government reinforcements were dispatched to the area, Hien told a news briefing. “Government troops were not taken by surprise in this battle,” Hien said. “We believe the enemy will take heavy casualties, but the defenders also cannot avoid heavy casualties.” The battle coincided with an order to Viet Cong forces in the central provinces of South Vietnam to launch counterattacks to regain territory lost to government troops since the ceasefire. In Cambodia, insurgents continued their attacks along the east bank of the Mekong River close to Phnom Penh. Military observers reported that both the government and the rebel commands were reinforcing their troop strengths around the capital, possibly for an anticipated show own in the approaching dry season. Recently, insurgents have overrun at least two govern-

ment outposts and taken several villages along the east bank. Field reports said rebel troops were pressing hard against the village of Prek Takou, less than five miles across the Mekong from Phnom Penh. Command spokesman Col. Am Rong speculated that the Khmer Rouge were picking out small, weaker government outposts for attack in order to resupply rebel forces with ammunition and other provisions.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP>—The last of the memorabilia and personal effects of Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley are being put up for auction this month, 57 years after the children’s author died. Most of his possessions have gone to museums and libraries but several articles, including a table, desk and chairs from his library, his silk top hat and partial sets of china and crystal, remained in the estates of two of his nieces. Miss Lesley Payne, 82, and the late Mrs. Elizabeth Eitel Miesse who died last year. Riley, a bachelor, left an estate valued at $283,182 in 1916. He left no will and the nieces were his closest surviving relatives. Appraised value of the items

to be sold at the auction here Nov. 13 is $4,590, but because of the sentiment attached to the Riley name, they are expected to be sold for considerably

more. The auction will be held from 1-3 p.m. at the Marsh Auction Galleries here.

Social Security, Watergate, Ford On Congress’ Agenda This Week

By CARL P_ LEV BS DOR I Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP> — The House plans action this week on a Social Security increase, while the Senate concentrates on its inquiries on Watergate, Rep. Gerald R. Ford and the firing of Archibald Cox. For the fourth straight week, the Senate calendar is virtually bare as it awaits conference reports on bills passed in different form by the two houses and for the appropriations bills that must be passed before adjournment. Despite the light schedule, the Watergate controversy, delay on the money bills and the Ford nomination have assured that once again the congressional session will run close to Christmas. The House last week announced a 12-day Thanksgiving recess, to start a week from Thursday. This week, however, it plans floor action on several important bills, including a six-month extension of the Watergate grand jury Tuesday, overriding President Nixon’s veto of the bill limiting his war-making powers Wednesday and a $ 1.4billion measure to save East Coast railroads Thursday. Monday, the House Ways and Means Committee hopes to put together a Social Security benefit package that, unlike ,ne already approved by the Senate Finance Committee, will likely include a payroll tax hike. The seven per cent increase voted by the Senate committee would cost $2.7 billion a year. Acting Ways and Means Committee Chairman A1 Ullman, DOre., said he favors increasing the Social Security tax and the amount of income to which it is

applied. A House judiciary subcommittee, meanwhile, will start hearings Monday on the recent firing of Watergate prosecutor Cox. The first witnesses are acting Atty. Gen. Robert H. Bork and Cox, who spent three days last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee. That panel is expected to hear this week from former Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richardsorn who resigned rather than fire

Cox after Cox’s refusal to yield to President Nixon’s directive to limit efforts to get White House tapes and documents. The Watergate hearings resume Tuesday with the first witnesses on campaign contribufons, the third and final phase of its public hearings. It hopes to finish completely by Thanksgiving. Ford testifies Monday for a second day on his vice presidential nomination before the

Senate Rules Committee. The House Judiciary Committee may start its hearings on Ford later in the week. The only major floor action scheduled in the Senate is a Monday vote on a compromise $21.3-billion military procurement authorization bill. Passage would send the measure to the White House, where it faces possible veto because of a provision to keep eight Public Health Service hospitals open.

Off-Duty Patrolman Shoots Then Takes Own Life

CLEVELAND Ohio(AP>A 31-year-old off-duty patrolman shot seven persons to death and then killed himself early Sunday morning. Officers said. Police said Cyril J. Rovansek, a policeman in suburban University Heights, apparently killed his wife and their two children and then went upstairs in the two family house and killed a husband and wife and their two children. A Cleveland policeman who was summoned to the scene was critically wounded before Rovansek shot himself, police said. Cleveland police said the wounded officer, Floyd Kidner, was in critical condition at a local hospital with a bullet wound in the stomach. The victims were identified as Rovansek’s wife, Patricia, 32, his daughter, Kimberly, 7, and his son, Cyril III 8. the other victims were Jerry Diloreto, 46, his wife, Shirley, 39, his daughter, Linda, 7, and his son, Michael, 5, police said. Cleveland detective William Leppelmeier said that Rovan-

sek had called his father, Cyril J. Rovansek sr., about 8:45 Sunday morning and “complained that everything was down on him.” Leppelmeier said that the elder Rovansek heard someone say “sonny don’t shoot” and then heard a shot. The elder Rovansek said he immediately went to his son’s home, about 25 blocks away. Leppelmeier said that the wounded patrolman’s partner said as soon as the two officers arriveH at the door, Kidner was shot. He said he heard one more shot immediately afterward, inside the house. Cleveland police fired tear gas into the house “because we didn’t know he (Rovansek j was dead and couldn’t get anyone to respond.” Police said three different guns were used and all victims were shot in the head. Rovansek, who had been a University Heights patrolman for 10 years, lived in a northeastside second of Cleveland, which is made up of two family homes with neatly trimmed lawns and tree lined streets.
