18Th Syrian Attack
Repu|sed on Vital
Hill, IsraeIis Say
BY the Associated Press

TEL AVN. Israel. May 5. -
Artillery supported Israeli troops
beat back today the 18th Syrian
attack in four days on strategic
Muteila Hill, an Israeli spokes-
man said.
Scores Of Arab dead were re-
ported to cover the battlefield
north of the Sea of Galilee after
the 80-minute engagement.
The spokesman said Syrian
troops meanwhile are consolidat-
ing and fortifying their positions
within the demilitarized frontier
zone of northeast Palestine, where
Israeli reclamation work is de-
nounced by Damascus as a viola
ton of the Syrian Israeli armis-
tice.
(The Syrians picture the war
fare as strictly a fight between
raiding Israeli troops and Arab
residents of the demilitarized
zone. A Syrian army communi-
que issued in Damascus at noon
Saturday said q IsraeliS had
been killed in the preceding "a
hours. against Arab losses of
two killed and three wounded.
The Israelis were declared to
have opened up with field guns,
mortars and machine guns al
4:30 a. m. The Syrians accused
them Friday night of breaking a
|, cease-f1re agreement reached
Friday under United Nations
/ auspices.)
Israeli spokesmen charged that
Syria broke the cease fire. Syrian
infantry and irregulars joined ir
Ia vain assault on Muteila Hill
they said. three and a half hours
after the agreement went into
effect. There was a lull during
the hours of darkness.
Two Syrian planes were re-
ported scouting the area today.
Sporadic rife fire and occa-
Sional shelling were reported tc
have continued in the disputed
zone through the day.
Tractors draining the Huleh
swamps for farmland came under
fire and the crews had to stop
work, an Israeli spokesman said
The Israeli project calls for cut
ting canals to- the Jordan River
through thousands of acres of the
soggy land in the demilitarizec
zone. ..---

AS Life Goes On-Abrood
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON. May 4.-Seven mil
lion Britons have found a way to
relax and forget about wars, crises
and "isms"-at least on Thursday
nights.
That is when they sit down
and try to figure ou the results
of up to a score of soccer
matches on the following Satur-
day throughout the country. They
"go in for the pools" as they call
their mass gamble.
Every week some dazed man or
woman is handed the Jackpot
untaxed cash of up to f75,000
($210, ,000).
With such riches beckoning it is
not surprising that the pools enter
every second home in the land.
e But there is something more to
it than that. One little old lady
put it like this:

spend on pleasure. Every Thurs

Ed Ryan Changes
His Mind About
FEPC Legislation

ED Ryan, sheriff Of Hennepin
County and announced independ-
ent candidate for governor last
Sunday, July 90 said on WCCO's
Editorial Roundup that while he
believed in t he principle of FE-
PC he was of the opinion that you
could not effectively legislate
against prejudice.
State Senator Phil Duff, Kas-
son, MINI, and editor of the
Dodge County Independent, one
of the liberal leaders in the last
session of the legislature in the
fight for FEPC, pointed out to
Ryan that ten or eleven states al
ready had FEPC laws and they
were very effective. Ryan then
said that he thought that Mime
sofa should give it trial.
Later in an interview Ryan
said that in his duties as police
chief under Humphrey and as
sheriff, he didn't come across the
problems of FEPC and hadn't
studied the proposed bill.
Since last Sundays broadcast,
Ryan has secured some material
on FEPC and is going to study II
thoroughly. After seeing the list
of prominent Minnesota people
who are for FEPC, Ryan said he
became convinced such legislation
has merit. He went on to say
that IL 1t works in other states il
will work here.
