Kinsella Dies; Was Police Reporter John E. Kinsella, who retired last year after 41 years as a police reporter for the Post-Dispatch, was fatally stricken Saturday. He was 65 years old.

The seizure, apparently a heart attack, occurred in the office of a veterinarian, where Mr. Kinsella had taken his family's dog for treatment. The veterinarian found him collapsed the floor of the waiting room. He was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Hospital in Kirkwood.

The veteran reporter, regarded as one of the best in what was a highly competitive area of reporting, was on intimate terms with many persons in the St. Louis Police Department, high ranking officers and patrolmen alike. "He was my longest friend while in police work," Chief of Police Eugene J. Camp said Saturday when told of Mr. Kinsella's death.

"I knew him from the time I was a telephone boy with the department got many sound ideas on police work from him." Mr. Kinsella a started to work for the Post-Dispatch on a temporary basis in 1934, filling in now and again on the police beat. He was given the beat permanently three years later, and there he remained until his retirement almost a year ago, on July 1. The wide-ranging "contacts" he built up during those years, combined with his news instinct, paid off in many solid "exclusive" and "inside" stories. One of the better known stories told by his colleagues concerns the celebrated Greenlease kidnaping case.

On a morning in October 1953 shortly after the abduction in Kansas City 0C- curred, Mr. Kinsella noticed three strangers walk into the chief's office at the unusual visiting time of 7 a.m. His suspicions aroused by the visit and by the clam-like silence he encountered among the chief's staff, Mr. Kinsella began sounding out his contacts until he discovered what had happened: the kidnapers, Carl Austin Hall and Bonnie Brown Heady, had been arrested here and the $600,000 ransom seized. The story scooped not only the competition in St.

Louis, but also the Kansas City Star, which had sent a reporter with Kansas City police officers assigned to pick up the kidnapers here. Mr. Kinsella's enterprise earned him a $500 bonus. His easy manner and friendly approach were reflected in a tarnished dime that the late Chief of Police Jeremiah 0'. Connell carried out with him on retirement in 1959.

It was one of only three mementos that the chief kept after his years with the department, and was given to him years before by Mr. Kinsella after the chief's salary was raised to $9999.90 a year. "I think you should be a Kinsel1 told O'Connell, squeezing a dime into his palm. Mr. Kinsella was a graduate of St.

Louis University and was a Navy lieutenant in World War II. He lived at 20 Oleander Drive, in the Sappington area, in a house, he years had spent building much himself. of the Surviving are his wife, Ursula; and four sons, John E. Kin- Last 2 Israelis Freed; Guerrillas Urge Raids BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 8 (AP) Lebanon released the last two Israeli prisoners held by an Arab state Saturday and Israel said its troops killed four terrorists infiltrating from Lebanon. The guerrillas called for increased commando attacks against the Jewish state.

The Israeli chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Mordechai Gur, greeted the two returned prisoners, both pilots, as they were driven across the Israeli border. "This is an end of a chapter in our history," he said. Israel completed a prisoner exchange deal with Syria Thursday under its U.S.-negotiated disengagement with the Damascus regime.

The release of the pilots followed the return by Israel on Friday of 12 Lebanese prisoners held since the Israeli retaliatory raid into Lebanon after the Oiryat. Shemonah terrorist attack last April. The three Arabs who killed 18 Israelis in that raid also crossed from Lebanon. The Israeli command said the latest guerrillas incursion took place near Adamit, about six miles from the Mediterranean just south of the Lebanese border. No Israeli casualties were reported.

The Israelis found rifles and ammunition, and leaflets of the general command of Assifa, the combat wing of the Al Fatah guerrilla organization, a communique said. In Cairo, delegates attending Palestine's parliament in exile said Saturday the delegation had approved a "compromise strategy to escalate guerrilla warfare against Israel while leaving the door open to further POST- DISPATCH June 9, 1974 17A STAOUS Swims Malacca Straits KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 8 (UPI) Japanese marathon swimmer Shoichi Nakajima Friday became the first person to swim the Malacca Straits.

The delegates said the Palestine National Council would announce the strategy shortly, ending a week-long debate that failed to unite the moderates and radicals on the 162-man body.

Both factions claimed victory of a sort, the radicals because no decision was taken to go to Geneva, the moderates because there was no outright rejection of joining Arab-Israeli negotiations. Basically the council left it to the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, headed by Yassir Arafat, to decide whether go to Geneva after an invitation is received. Council sources said their decision would largely depend on the working of an invitation, and on pressure from the Soviet Union, Egypt, Syria and oil-rich Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, Libya and Kuwait, who control the resistance movement's purse strings. Social Worker Shot In Dispute In Tampa TAMPA, June 8 (UPI) A security guard shot the assistant manager of Tampa's Salvation Army five times Saturday during a dispute over a woman both men had been dating, said.
