(AP) Exhausted, riot torn Newark braced today for more Negro turmoil and looting as the death toll from three terrible nights of violence rose to 16, including one white policeman. Trigger-ready police and National Guardsmen, many on duty from Friday's dusk to this morning's dawn, remained on the alert. They patrolled littered streets in the scarred Ne- jro neighborhood, seeking out snipers who containued to spray sporadic shots from hiding places on roofs or inside building.

City Hospital reported that 15 Negroes died in its wards; 14 of gunshot wounds, the other of a skull fracture suffered in a riot- connerted automobile crash. Among these vitims were two boys, 10 and 16 years old. The policeman died in St, Michael's Hospital. Of the victims, 13 died Friday.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Israel claimed its jets shot down three Egyptian MIG21s today, and the two sides resumed their cannon duels along the Suez Canal after an all-day battle killed at least 33 persons and wounded 58 Friday. The United Nations starts sending observers to the canal today to try to h-'l fighting' along the cease-fire line. The Israelis Egyptian antiaircraft fire had hit one of their jets, but the pilot ejected and was rescued by Israeli forces. A spokesman said the Israeli jets were called to strafe Egyptian artillery which opened fire on Israeli trucks near the Bitter Lake and troops at Firdan and to fight four Egyptian MIGs which attacked those same points. The dogfight at Ismailia, about halfway up the canal, came an hour after Israeli planes had crossed to the west bank to strafe and silence Egyptian gun batteries at Port Ibrahim at the canal's southern end.

The spokesman said the Egyptians opened fire at Israeli soldiers trying to pick uo the body of a soldier I Friday's fighting, which le accused the other of starting. Israel launched similar air attacks Friday to allow it to evrcuate dead and wounded soldiers, it said, after other methods failed to silence the Egyptian artillery. 11 said seven Israel soldiers were killed and more than 20 wounded by Egyptian artillery, mortars and tanks on the canal's west bank. Egypt said at least 26 Egyptians, including civilians, were killed and 36 wounded by Israeli shelling all along the canal. It accused Israel of "wanton Southern Wisconsin today enjoyed the best Saturday of the summer, a sunny mild day that would be hard to beat.

The flare -up was the longest of 13 clashes since the end of the June 5-10 Arab-Israeli war, in which Israeli troops captured the canal 's east bank. In letters to the U.N.

Security Council detailing their charges, neither Ambassador Mohamed Awad el Kony of Egypt nor Gideon Rafael of Israel asked for a council meeting. Rafael said. "Israel expects that the deployment of U.N. observers in the Suez Canal sector will soon be completed and be effective to prevent the continuation of these violations of the fire." The council decided Tuesday lo send observers to try to maintain the cease-fire ordered June 10 to end the war. Norwegian Lt.

Gen. Odd Bull, a special U.N. representative, has been conferring with Israeli and Egyptian leaders. Bull said a U.N. group would arrive today for reconnaissance begin their actual operation Sunday.

Tourists are not permitted on its grounds nor in the house which sits astride the hill near the Wisconsin River like a part of the landscape. But tours are Full page of pictures Back Page made daily of the architects' school still operated by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation a quarter-mile away from Taliesin. Taliesin Is where Wright lived much of his life and where he planned and drafted landmark building designs embodying his brand of organic architecture.

Now his devoted followers, led by his widow, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, carry on his work. Mrs. Wright, the foundation staff and student architects, use the home during the summer as living quarters and office, The architects' school and more liv-. ing quarters are located at nearby Hillside, a complex of buildings built by Wright early in this century. Ironically, Wright's work is more extensive now, after his death, than ever in his lifetime.

Taliesin Associates the architectural arm of the foundation, has its hand in dozens of public, private and commercial projects around the United States and fruit of popular acceptance Wright never achieved during his lifetime. More Contracts Now Charles Montooth, a member of the foundation's staff, remembers Wright vividly because he joined him as a young architect in 1945. Montooth said the foundation now has far more public contracts than Wright ever received. The major reason, said Montooth, is because Wright designed two large public buildings before his Hall of Justice in Marin County, and the civic auditorium in Tempe, Ariz. Montooth said both were inexpensive successful structures which proved that Wright was not a rich man's architect and conversely, that good taste and innovation need not be costly.

Still, Montooth said, the foun. dation finds the cost of operating its school for young architects and maintaining Wright's two homes (Taliesin in Wisconsin and Taliesin West in the desert near Scottsdale, Ariz.) a drain on resources despite the income brought in from the staff's merous commissions. Taliesin, set amid the verdant low bluffs of Southern Wisconsin, is the eastern wing of a continent-spanning enterprise. The school for architects and most of the staff, except for a small force which winters in Wisconsin, works in Arizona from September to June. The Arizona site is called Taliesin West, Since Wright's death in 1959, the foundation has twice left the Wisconsin site in favor of a summer in Switzerland, leading to rumors that the venerable old house was being sold to the S.

C. Johnson Son Co. of Racine. Montooth said the rumors are false. However, Lie foundation did sell land near the home to a Racine developer, and is doing the designs for a tourist complex to include a hotel, restaurant and recreation area, Wright designed both of his homes, one famous for its blend into the landscape of the harsh desert and the other amid what Wright called the "sweet" terrain of Southern Wisconsin.

Shows Its Age Now, Taliesin East, or North, as it is sometimes called is showing its age. It was first built in 1903, burned down twice and rebuilt in 1925. Wright con- stantly tinkered with the building, changing and adding to it. Visitors permitted lo study its recesses notice floorboards warped here and there, doors that stick and don't fit well, dows cracked, wood beams weathered, stones broken and woodwork aged and peclina. But the building is like an old man with a good face.

The character shows through as the vw'in- kles spread and deepen. Taliesin can afford to show its Taliesin East, home of Frank Lloyd Wright, nestles in hills near Spring Green, age because it has the charm of good design. It is an honest almost an art object. Montooth wouldn't even speculate on its value if placed on the market. It is probably priceless.

Another staff member at the foundation said it would be prohibitively costly to build the home as it was originally constructed. Practically everything was built by hand, Stone and carpenter work was done by skilled artisans employed by Wright. Even the furniture was designed by Wright and crafted by his students, It could not be duplicated by a modern furniture factory without great ex- prnse Like everything Wright Taliesin is a rcrsonal in this case, perhaps because it was his own home, a very blunt statement, li is organic in the meaning of Wright's use of the term, in that it blends intimately with the hilltop it straddles.
