Schultz said it looked like a threat to burn the school. He immediately requested a security guard from ' the Lebanese government for the full academic and dormitory buildings. The letter, in Arabic and signed “Opposition," said, “If you don’t change your - attitude toward the Lebanese people you’ll be sorry. You will face extinction if you don’t start showing sympathy toward our cause ” The letter arrived as Foreign Minister Charles Malik was making arrangements to fly to New York and personally present Lebanon’s case against the United Arab Republic in the United Nations Security Council. Schultz said he did not intend to close the school but was writing to all parents saying he considers the letter a definite threat A bomb exploded today in the office of a Jewish doctor in the Baab Ed Driss area and a dud was discovered and dismantled in front of a Jewish school. Two other bombs apparently were aimed to intimidate Prime Minister Sami Solh. One exploded shortly before dawn 100 yards from his residence.

The meger officially came to light early this month when John M. Budd, president of the Great Northern, told a stockholders' meeting of a possible joining of the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy: and the Spokane. Portland and Seattle railroads. Between them, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific aleady own 'a most all of the Bulington and all of the S.P. and S. stock. Bulington officials said they were in no position to discuss the merger. They said any information. including that about possible the four roads, would have to corrie from either the Great Northern or Northern Pacific. Great Northern officials said “nothing of any detail” has yet been worked out. Faces “Knotty" Problems Great Northern spokesman C W. Moore said committees of directors from both Great Northern and Northern Pacific were considering “recommendations” by a study committee composed of repj.e§gntgtlyes,,,frpm their two. roads and the Burlington. At the time of his original announcement. Budd said the merger was making progress but now was encountering the “knotty” problems. He said one of these key problems concerned the exchange of securities and valuation to be placed on Northern Pacific’s oilbearing land holdings. He said the railroad engineering firm of Wm. Wyer and Co. had made “an extensive report” on possible savings through operational studies of the proposed merger. The Burlington system has 8.800 miles of line. The S.P. and S. has 900 miles.
