THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1969 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAUIMI Israeli to Build Up Strength of Border Villages By THE ASSOCIATED Premier Golda Meir says Israeli villages along the "danger border" with Lebanon will be strengthened in case Arab guerrillas win their struggle to use Lebanon as a staging area for attacks on Israel. "I do not know what will happen in Lebanon, whose hand will be on terrorists or the army," she told labor leaders in Tel Aviv Wednesday. "But the Lebanese border is the new danger border for us. "We have villages there and we must look after them and see they are properly defended." The political and military crisis in Lebanon deteriorated further Wednesday when about 2,000 Arab guerrillas besieged Obituaries Fcnton the Lebanese village of Hasbaya near the Israeli frontier. The Beirut government charged that an Arab the assasult was directed by A 1 commando organization affiliat ed with Syria's ruling Baath party.

Al Saika denied the charge and called the Lebanese army to join it in an investiga tion. The largest of the Palestinian guerrilla organizations, Al Fa tah, added to the tension in Le taanon with a charge that Le banese troops shot five Al Fatah commandos who were en route to Israel on a sabotage mission Lebanese military officials de nied the charge. Thousands of Palestinians liv ing in refugee camps in Leba non pay allegiance to Al Fatah and there was speculation tha the guerrilla organization wouli rder them into the streets 3emonstrations by refugees in support of the guerrillas two reeks ago touched off clashes vith Lebanese troops which re- ulted in the death of 18 persons nd the resignation of Premier lashld Karami. The guerrillas want to use Lebanon as a staging area because it is nearer the Israeli industrial complex at the port of Haifa, but the government has resisted them because it fears sraeli reprisals. The Montreal Gazette report- id that Israel has built five 20 klloton atomic bombs at its atomic reactor plant near Ditno- na, in the Negev Desert, and a sixth is near completion.

The newspaper's correspondent in Germany said this was discovered by a team from the West German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, and Spiegel would publish the team's report later this week. Israeli and Egyptian artillery dueled most of Wednesday across the Suez Canal near El Qantara, and the Israeli army announced two of its soldiers were killed and three were wounded. This brought the Israeli casualties along the canal since early March to 26 dead and 52 wounded. Israel accused Egypt of starting the shooting and of ignoring U.N. appeals to stop.

An Israeli army spokesman said Israeli planes struck at an Arab guerrilla base across the Jordan River in Jordan, but a spokesman in Amman said Jordanian ground fire drove them off.

Oseland, 76, of 2931 Edgewood, Alton, Army Will Dump Chemical Bombs WASHINGTON (AP) Army plans to haul 27,000 tons of obsolete chemical bombs overland warfare by train gas and then sink them in the Atlantic Ocean are being attacked in Congress as possibly unsafe. Within minutes of the Pentagon announcement of the plans Wednesday evening, Rep. Corelius E. Gallagher, called a meeting for today of his House Foreign Affairs subcommittee to investigate. Gallagher said the plans "pose a serious problem for population which the centers gondola through cars will pass, as well as to fishing banks off the United States." The Army insisted the shipment and disposal procedures can be executed safely.

Maj. Gen. Wendell Coates, the Army's information chief, conceded judgment is involved in possible pollution factors in the seawater. Unless tentative plans change, outmoded nerve gas bombs, mustard gas and tear gas in steel cylinders are to be loaded between May and August into a dozen trains of 50 to 70 cars each. The troop-guarded trains with safety crews aboard would move slowly to the Naval Ammunition Depot at Earle, N.J., near Asbury Park about 60 miles south of New York City.

At the Earle depot, the cylinders would be loaded aboard four derelict Uberty ships, towed to sea arid sunk in 7,200 feet of water off the Continental shelf, the Army said. The disposal, if carried out, would be the largest ever at- spokesman said. The outdated post-World War II gas will come mainly from arsenals at Rocky Mountain, and Edgewood, Md. "Minor quantities" will be shipped from arsenals at Anniston, and Lexington, Ky. Rep.

Richard D. McCarthy, a critic of gas stockpiling and movement, said in letters to Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird and Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe: "A number of safety factors appear to have been under-estimated." He asked Laird to halt the shipment plans for now. Sun Is Cooler Than Believed PASADENA Calif.
