Death ends Nasser dream Go ma I Abdel Nasser CAIRO (AP) Gamal Abdel Nasser, the most important Arab statesman to emerge in modern times, died with his dream of uniting the Arab world behind him unfulfilled. Nasser suffered a massive heart attack at 3:30 p.m. Cairo time Monday (8:30 a.m. EDT) and died 3 hours later. He wrote of his dream and led summit conferences to achieve it, yet his actions repeatedly drove quarreling Arab factions farther apart.

His struggle to bring his brand of revolutionary socialism to Egypt and its neighbors, coupled with his determination to destroy Israel, brought the world to the verge of war. The day before he died, he had shepherded an agreement between Jordan's King Hussein and Arab guerrilla leader Yasir Arafat to end Jordan's bloody civil conflict that threat- ened international intervention. But even then, the agreement encouraged the guerrillas to increase their war against Israel despite a cease-fire with Israel that Nasser and Hussein had signed in August. When death came at the age of 52, Nasser could point to the giant Soviet-built Aswan Dam as a major achievement for Egypt's struggling industry and impoverished farmers. At the same time, his country was bankrupt from 20 years of battling Israel.

Nasser was the first to sign the U.S.-sponsored cease-fire that went into effect in August, but before the ink was dry Israel accused Egypt of violating the agreement by moving Soviet missiles into the Suez Canal truce zone. Peace with Israel would have been virtually an unknown thing to Nasser. It was the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 that led Nasser to plot the downfall of Egypt's King Farouk. Nasser, who risked a court martial to go to the battlefield, was so incensed at the incompetence of the Egyptian army and its miserable equipment, that he and other officers created their "Free Officers" movement against the throne. In 1952, the young officers moved in and Farouk was out.

Gen. Mohammed Naguib, an old soldier, was named prime minister. Nasser lived in a modest bungalow with his wife, two daughters and three sons, working 20 hours a day to rebuild Egypt according to his revolutionary pattern. In November 1954, Nasser pushed Naguib out and took over the premiership, still only 36 years old and confident. That confidence was shattered a year later when the Israelis swept across the Gaza strip, whipping the Egyptians soundly.

It was the first of three times his army was to be humiliated by the that would have driven most Arab politicians into the shadows. Instead, Nasser turned to the Soviet Union for help, kept tight control over the local Communists, and proclaimed "positive neutrality." In 1956, in a daring move that threatened an international face-down, Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. An Israeli blitz swept across the Sinai desert while French and British troops seized Port Said. In rare unison, the United States and the Soviet Union both denounced the invasion and the British, French and Israelis Withdrew. The Russians followed their diplomatic success aid to build the Aswan with Dam Nssser's most devastating defeat came in 1967, when Israel's air force and shock troops shattered the Egyptian army in a six-day war that left the Israelis stationed along the Suez.

HE resigned "completely and forever," but agreed to return to wer when thousands of hysterical Egyptians poured into the shouting his name. He grew noticeably more stooged, however, and his smile lost some of its dazzle. He played less tennis but continued his daily walks. In 1968 he went to the Soviet Unkn for medical treatment. He returned to Moscow last Junu and he spent 19 days of and July (here discussing Middle East affairs with Soviet leaders.

One of his closest friends, Field Marshall Abdel Hakim Amer, and 50 officers were arrested in 1967 for planning his downfall. Cairo announced after the arrests that Amer committed suicide by poison.

Dover New Philadelphia, Ohio, Tuesday, September 29, 1970 KSU students laud plea for nonviolence KENT, Ohio (AP) Burning draft cards and memorial candles in a cold night rain, Kent State University students launched their new school year Monday night with applause for nonviolent politics. Some 5,000 of the school's 21,000 students applauded pleas for nonviolence at a student organized service in memory of the four students killed at Kent May 4 when Ohio National Guardsmen fired at demonstrators. Several hundred of the 5,000 filed out after the service through rain to the scene of the shootings and stood beneath umbrellas with candles while a quantity of draft cards were burned. "Do not let your grief end in said the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, 'president of the Southern; Christian Leadership drew repeated, standing ovations at the rial service'and later marched to the card-burning 1 scene.

"be thankful for the ideals of those who have given their lives for decency, freedom and peaqe," Abernathy said. "It is the state government which is violent in America, not the masses of people who dissent and the way to overcome this violence is not through violence." 'Tin glad to see that someone is realizing that nonviolence is the only way to make it," said Dean Kahler, 20, of East Canton, who is still under treatment for partial paralysis caused by a wound he suffered May 4. Kahler, wearing a peace dove armband and speaking at the service'from a wheelchair, said, "I the National Guardsmen who shot me. I don't disagree with the people who sent them there. I'm just glad alive." Kahler, who.described himself as a pacifist and conscientious objector, 'was pushed-rat the- head column of marchers who went to the shooting site after the service.

Another student wounded on 1 May 4, Thomas Grace, 18, of Syracuse, N.Y., charged Kent Sktate. with urging students to remain nonviolent while itself supporting violence through of- ficers, training, police training, and defense research. "When all violence is ended at the university, then we can speak of peace," Grace said to loud' applause Further applause'went to Ira 'Sandperl, co-founder and director of the Institute for the Studjv of Nonviolence at Palo Aifb, Calif. He warned that "only nonviolent revolution is going to get us out of the century alive. "Doing nothing, one is an ac-.

complise to murder in the world today," Sandperl said. "We're all guilty of those murders in war has come home to the United States." The memorial service, which also included folk songs by singer Phil Ochs, prayers by local clergymen, and poetry, followed a noon convocation on which KSUpresi- dent Robert I. White asserted 'air parts of; our university have swarmed to its defense. "All are watching Kent State University, everyone of us," White told some 2,000 people at the earlier open-air gathering. "We can show the nation how to 'do the job." Thorn Dickerson, of Huntlngton, vice president of the student body, rings victory bell on the commons of Kent State University.

(UPI Telephoto) INDEX -Phila council okays Irregular' pay change 42 Pages By RON CALL All AN "To pass an ordinance on a salary change and make it retroactive is highly irregular." Despite Councilman John Stratum's objection and lone dissenting vote, New Philadelphia council passed an ordinance last night authorizing the hiring of Tom Farbizo, assistant parks and recreation director, fulltime at $600 a month, retroactive to Sept. 1, instead of part- time at $300. Another important matter resolved was the announcement by Ward 4 Councilman Richard Stewart that the city will not pay for the extension of city water and sewer lines for Central Catholic High.

Stewart reported that Dover contractor J.A. Raeder, has arranged that contractors for the school would put up half the money for the utilities, and that Angelo Martinelli, who owns the 13-acre Gal-Mar estates adjacent to the school, will put up the other half. Raeder has the general contract for construction of the school. As for the vote on Farbizo's raise, Stratton had moved to table the ordinance, contending the parks and recreation board's appropriation should be reviewed. He added: "We may find inaccuracies." Stratton then turned the floor over to Treasurer Ted Ricker.

He said that he and the city auditor reviewed finances last Friday and although they did not try to balance them, "there is a question in my mind that the board would be able to operate in the black." Ricker added that the books would be balanced by Wednesday when he would have a better indication of the board's financial situation. Stewart said he was "disappointed that the treasurer waited six weeks before he checked the finances." Stewart noted that the board has a balance of $2500 of a one- mill levy and reminded fellow councilmen that the board members have promised to live within the budget. Mayor Lloyd Dinger addressed the press, explaining that 2 weeks ago he received a call from an irate woman, who claimed she knew for a fact that Farbizo had been paid $600 all along. Mayor Dinger said he checked out the woman's charge and found that Farbizo has never been paid over $300 until the ordinance was passed. "Her information is wrong," the mayor stressed.

Ward 2 Councilman James Kaserman observed that there has always been a controversy over the park board's appropriation. He asked if Ricker could give council a "reading" on board finances. Ricker agreed to an accounting. Also passed was an ordinance See COUNCIL, Page A-10 ACTIVITIES BEGIN the 18th Ohio Swis held Friday and B-l. tonight at Sugarcreek for Festival which will be turday.

31, 1971, the two towns will be governed as one. idea of annexing Dennison to Uhrichsville has been discussed, voted upon and beaten several times. Most recent was In BJIay 1963. Voters in Uhrichsville approved a merger 1052 to but Dennison residents ve- toed the move, 682 to 542. Dennison residents voted again in May 1964, defeating the annexation 729 to 570.

Because Uhrichsville residents approved the move previously, they did not need an additional vote. Last June, Claymont Jaycees revived the idea, presenting a proposal to each of the town councils. In July, Wade McGuire, John Nelson and Mrs. Ruth Wilson were named by Dennison council to serve as commissioners for a study and in August Dr. James Peck, Daniel Spring and Hudson HilJyer were named by Uhrichsville.

Hillyer heads the committee. Next move is for the issue to appear on the May primary ballot in the two communities. The following are conditions set by the commission by which the village of Dennison shall be annexed to the city of Uhrichsville, for municipal purposes only: (1) From and after midnight, Dec. 31,1971, the municipality herein shall be governed as one except as hereinafter set forth, and such government shall embrace the territory of both; the name of the new city so formed shall be Dennison, and the government thereof shall use both municipal buildings with the police department and one fire station situated in Dennison; the mayor and council with a fire sub-station shall be situated in the present municipal building of Uhrichsville.

RYAN AP Special Correspondent It will be a long time before the full impact of Gamal Abdel Nasser's death can be calculated, but it seems likely that it will release a vast torment of emotion among a highly emotional and volatile people, and there is a good chance that this outburst will turn itself against the United States and the West. The reasons are manifold. First, the Arabs will have a shocking sense of loss, a loss that cannot possibly be made up. As a leader Nasser is irreplaceable, and there is no sign of anyone on the horizon who can match his appeal.

Second, the Arabs are already "In a highly nervous state over the situation in the Middle East, which has just witnessed the spectacle of Arabs slaughtering brother Arabs in Jordan's confusing and bloody civil war. Msst Arabs blame that development on the West, on "imperialism," and particularly on the United States. Militant Arabs, seeking the destruction of Israel, look upon Hussein as a tool of the Americans and upon his throne as a creation of British colonialism. Third, the mood of the militant Arabs has ugly since the 1'967 war, when Nasser was humiliated by Israel. That is now flood back and increase the bitterness.

Fourth, the least the many Arabs who are emotionally involved in the crisis- have long been infuriated by the frustrations their cause has met. Now, with their leader gone and nobody in sight to take his place, many are likely to be on the point of sort of desperation that could lead to increasing and often unreasoning violence. If the violence comes, the vast U.S. interests in the Middle East will be in danger. So will the economy of Europe, much of which now depends upon the free flow of Arab oil.

In Arab fury, frequently the first objects of attack are the pipelines through Arab lands to funnel oil to the Mediterranean and Europe. But oil is not the only thing at stake. Also in the balance Is the question of dominating influence in an enormous strategic crossroads of the world. At stake too can be such things as airline routes, rights of passage, commerce with the East, and all the cultural ties the West has with the Arab East. A serious outbreak of violence could even lead to some form of American intervention in the style of Lebanon in 1958, when nothing else would seem to suffice to restore some semblance of calm to the area.

Intervention of that barely avoided in the Jordanian crisis up to a specter all over again, and along with it comes the companion ghost of a showdown in the Middle East between the two great superpowers. Diplomats are likely to plead that it is enormously important now for the world's peace of mind to have some concerted, big-power effort toward keeping tbe lid on a dangerous problem,.
