Social Lecture Hall, Memorial Union. BELFAST (AP) The fiercest gun battle in Northern Ireland since the British invaded Catholic strongholds a month ago raged around a Belfast hospital early today. Patients cowered in terror in side the hospital as gunmen in at least 10 positions fired more than 1,000 bullets at two military posts in the space of 90 minutes. The Irish Republican Army, which pledged Monday night to fight on "relentlessly and ruthlessly until victory," definitey suffered two gunmen hit and probably as many as 16, British Army marksmen claimed. The bullets- flew outside hospital buildings occupied by heart patients, expectant mothers and sick children.

One woman fainted. No patients or troops were wounded, but the guerrillas forced the soldiers to abandon one sandbagged position. An armored car removed the eight soldiers because the attack was so intense. The fighting broke out around the Royal Victoria Hospital just before midnight Monday. Some 'snipers fired from the roof of a nurse's home, an Army spokesman said, while others were concealed in the hospital parking lot.

Meanwhile, there was another death elsewhere in Northern Ireland. Near the border with the Irish Republic a middle-age man and his dog were blown up when the man stepped on a mine. It was the 542nd confirmed death in three years of violence in Northern Ireland. ft ft Bowling Results from Bluestem Bowl: Bluestem Belles Bowers Electric 1, Winder Furniture Benner-Williams 1, Farmer's Insurance Gi'oup and TV 1, Blair Builders Sweetheart Candy 1, Willard's Donuts 3: Harris Drug 3, Ecklund Tucker Gulf Mossman Grocery 3, Citizens National Bank 1.
