1 A DELAWARE COUNTY DAILY TIMES Monday, June Israel hits Arab village after terrorists kill 3 TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) A 23-year-old Israeli housewife died today of wounds received in an Arab guerrilla attack that also took the lives of her husband and brother and wounded her seven-month-old son and her father. Before she died, the petite brunette told her doctors that her infant son survived only "because I persuaded the terrorists not to shoot him." The baby was wounded by grenade fragments. Israeli troops killed the four Arab guerrillas who seized the family's farmhouse early Sunday in the village of Kfar Yuval, near the, Lebanese borders. The Israeli military command retaliated with air strikes against the village of Kfar Chuba, "a base for terrorist' infiltrators" in southern Lebanon, and Israeli and Arab forces dueled across the frontier with rockets and artillery until dawn today. The Lebanese Defense Ministry said Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling killed one 5 in county woman and wounded three other, persons.

WAFA, the Palestinian news agency, said two successive Israeli air raids "covered the entire Arkoub area" of southern Lebanon, an area with a large population of Palestinian guerrillas. It the guerrillas shot down one Israeli Phantom. The Israeli command said guerrillas in Lebanon fired Katyusha rockets in a rare daylight attack on the Mediterranean resort area near Nahariya, cutting two Israelis with shrapnel. It said the shelling continued today, and the target was the border hamlet of Metulla, three miles from Kfar Yuval. The command reported no casualties and said Israeli artillery returned the fire.

A spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization said it sponsored the raid on Kfar Yuval "because it is our right to fight for our rights." He added that such raids had the support of "the whole world the U.N. General Assembly has approved the right of the Palestinians to pursue their struggle with all means to regain their usurped rights." The Israelis said the attack was made by four guerrillas who slipped across the Lebanese frontier. They were spotted by armed civilians in Kfar Yuval as they climbed over a fence to get into the village of immigrants from India. The villagers opened fire, and the terrorists fired rifles and rocket grenades in all directions as they seized the house of Yaacov Mordechai. Mordechai's wife, her father and a brother barricaded themselves in one room with the woman's seven-month-old son, but another brother died trying to block the terrorists as they blasted through the door.

The guerrillas demanded the release from prison of Msgr. Hilarion Capudji, the Gr-eek Catholic archbishop of Jerusalem who is serving a 12-. year sentence for smuggling arms to Arab terrorists, and 11 othrrs Arab prisoners. Mordechai, an intercity bus driver, heard of the attack the radio and rushed back to the village as Israeli troops were organizing the rescue operation. A combat veteran and a reservist, the bus driver joined the assault force and was killed in a hail of bullets and exploding hand grenades.

His wife, baby and father-in-law were wounded along with three other Israelis, and all four terrorists were killed. The Israeli armed forces radio said one ofthe terrorists was a Palestinian, and the others were an Iraqi, a Moroccan and a Turk. It said they belonged to the Arab Liberation Front, which is affiliated with the PLO. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the terrorist assault was intended to disrupt "diplomatic efforts revive the political momentum" toward peace. The statement also condemned the governments that voted at the U.N.

General Assembly, last November to recognize- the PLO, saying this encouraged "murder and violence." Slowdown begins at hospitals Thomas J. Stapleton Jr. (D- 165th District) of Upper Darby. "But certain features of Bill 805 will probably be-incorporated into whatever is passed." Bill 805 calls for discouraging the "bad claim" which physicians say accounts for the skyrocketing cost complete unavailability of malpractice insurance -through a number of measures. The most controversial of these measures, according to Stapleton and fellow State Rep.

Joseph T. (Ted) Doyle 163rd District), are the limiting of contingency fees and the limiting of the compensation award: "The bill would limit compensation for medical malpractice to $100,000, while the victim of, say, an auto accident could still collect higher- damages," Doyle said. Stapleton also questioned the limit, citing the possibility of a family bread- winner with several dependents being killed as a result of malpractice. In addition, Stapleton said he had "reservations about the specific language the bill uses to define informed consent." Many negligence claims, doctors say, are based on unfair and inconsistent interpretations of "informed consent." A patient must be told of the risks of proposed treatment, but must not be scared away from treatment by a doctor who exaggerates the risks. Bill 805 would replace this ticklish situation with a wavier of liability for consent charges whenever the physician could produce a written "consent to medical treatment which discloses in general terms the treatment or course of treatment in connection with which it is given, or which waives such disclosure.

by the patient or legal representative." The House Judiciary Com- mittee is also considering a bill written by the Shapp ad- ministation, Bill 1367, and Bill 1153, introduced by Rep. Daniel E. Beren (R-153rd District) of Abington. The Shapp bill introduced by Speaker of the House Herbert D. Fineman (D- 194th District) of Philadelphia, is disfavored by physicians because "it doesn't of contingency fees or allow any satisfactory hearing for a malpractice claim other than a court trial," according to Dr.

Frank S. Clarke, head of-the staff at Delaware County Hospital, Upper Darby. Bill 1153 would freeze insurance rate's at their present level, and is favored by physicians as providing a needed short-term relief. The House Judiciary Committee is using Bill 1367 as a base from which to consider all other malpractice legislation, much to the chagrin of the medical profession.

"The crowd really enjoyed the program and it was a real family-type afternoon," was the report from a spokesman for the Delaware County Bicentennial Commission, whicn has arranged a series of some 65 events at the amphitheater this summer.

First of the programs at the amphitheater was a performance by Springfield Junior High School 'Band and Chorus. The band was under the direction of Dick Miller and the directed by Alan Brennan.

Upper Darby administrators go back to the classroom to learn By LINDA KEELLY: Daily Times Correspondent UPPER DARBY Administrators in the Upper School District have been substituting in the schools. Asst. Supt. DonaldJFuhr spent a day in a kindergarten class at Garrettford Elementary School and another day in the first grade at Cardihgton-Stonehurst Elementary School. "An emerging trend across the country.

is for administrators to get back into the schools in some kind of'active capacity," said Fuhr, "To get feet wet occasionally lest they lose touch with reality. Our administrative schedules work against this kind of thing, but if anything, we know we have to increase the-frequency of the classroom happening." Schools Supt. Dr. Curwen Schlosser visited four elementary schools with slide presentations of, Russia and other discovery lessons. Carmen Libertore, assistant to the superintendent, substituted in 'the Garrettford kindergarten and a second grade at Bywood Elementary School, and, Michael Maines, director of administrative services, was librarian for a day at Cardington-Stonehurst School.

"My first grade and kindergarten endeavors were truly learning ones," said Fuhr. "I was impressed with the eagerness of the kids to learn but even more evident was the immense variety of behaviors' and, needs among individuals. In addition to the learning challenges, you're faced with other needs of kids from lunches and bathrooms to plain and simple affection. Renewing practical experience is invaluable." Kennedys may have known of CIA assassination plots Philadelphia man arrested in Media WASHINGTON (AP) President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert may have known of Central Intelligence Agency plots to kill foreign leaders, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller suggests.

Rockefeller raised the possibility Sunday as he defended the absence of any details -on alleged assassinations in the report prepared by the commission he headed in an investigation of the CIA. He said he had no proof the Kennedy brothers knew of CIA- assassination plots. But he said the deaths of the Kennedys and a problem of amnesia among those still around" made it impossible for th Rockefeller Commission to reach positive conclusions about any White House involvement in CIA assassination plots. After saying the evidence was inconclusive, Rockefeller added: "I think it's fair to say that no major undertakings by CIA were done without either knowledge and-or approval of the White House." There has been no public evidence linking either John or Robert Kennedy to plots to kill foreign leaders. Chairman Church, D-Idaho, of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Friday that his panel has developed no evidence to directly link any president with assassination plots or attempts.

In response to Rockefeller's statement, two former aides to Robert Kennedy, 'Adam Walinsky and Frank Mankiewicz, issued a statement saying: "The White.House and Sen. Church have both stated flatly there is no evidence that either John or Robert Kennedy were involved in any way in assassination attempts. Either Rockefeller has not read his own report or he is deliberately lying." Evidence developed by the Rockefeller Commission concerning allegations of CIA assassination plots was not contained in its report, but was passed on privately to President Ford. Rockefeller said he expects Ford will share it with the Church investigation of the CIA. Rockefeller, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," was asked why his commission had not pursued the question of CIA assassinations.

He said that "many of the people have died, who were allegedly involved, and others were assassinated Rockefeller was asked if he meant to say "that some American leaders who might have been involved in possible assassination plots had themselves been assassinated?" "I did," he replied. Asked to name the leaders, he said: as I said, we have no conclusive information but the President of the. United States and the attorney general of the United States were both assassinated tragically in this country." Several former government officials have said the CIA was' involved in assassination plots against Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. MEDIA--Ralph DeEmilid, 23, of Philadelphia, has been' charged with possession of drugs, borough police reported. Police spotted DeEmilio making a phone call around 3:30 a.m., Monday at a gas station at the intersection of Providence Road and Baltimore Pike here.

The car he was driving was parked in the station. When police asked him for identification, DeEmilio could not supply any proof of ownership. A subsequent search of the car revealed an unidentified white powder and assorted drug paraphernalia The powder has been sent out for analysis! Correction Ridley Township Commissioner Peter O'Keefe (D-4th- Ward) voted against a store development at Sylvania Ave. and MacDade Blvd. at a commissioners' meeting Friday night because, the proposal did not have planning commission approval.

The Daily Times' report' that OIKeefe said the building plans should not require planning commission approval was in correct. Judges, juries not all of justice Continued from Page One hearing, during which there'was no district attorney representing the prosecution (in this case Kelly). Kelly's story was corroborated by two prison guards, who testified they witnessed the alleged beating. Testifying for the defense was Lt. John Showers, a prison guard who was also charged with the beating but whose case was dismissed at an earlier hearing.

Showers said Kelly had assaulted him, when he arrived at the prison and had to be subdued. But he denied Kelly'was beaten after he had been subdued. The defendants and a prison inmate gave similar testimony. The purpose of the hearing was only to determine if there was enough evidence to hold the case for court action. 'But District Justice of the Peace Leon Mascaro, Concordville, "dismissed all charges.

The case is being evaluated by the district attorney's office for.a possible rearrest. Case 3 Several hearings were held after a drug raid at Sharon Hill High School. Two students, charged with possession of marijuana, criminal conspiracy and corrupting minors, were given a hearing before District Justice of the Peace William Dittert, Sharon Hill. The prosecution, handled by' two policemen, Introduced no evidence about a conspiracy or the corrupting of minors; Dittert dismissed those two charges and postponed his decision on the third. Apparently thinking something had been mishandled, the police asked for postponement in a second drug-related case so a district attorney could present the prosecution.

James testified at the hearing, resigned as Sharon "Hill's drug investigator, claiming, among other things, Dittert had no right to dismiss the charges he had dismissed. Wingender later withdrew his resignation and testified at the second hearing, at which there still was no district attorney present. The key element in this hearing was conflicting evidence. Wingender said the substance found in the possession" of a Sharon Hill student contained tetrahydricannabinols, which he said was" an active ingredient in marijuana. But the defense produced evidence that the drug law excludes tetrahydrican- nabinols.

Dittert held the defendant on, the possession charge. 1 There are two opinions on this matter. One the rules of evidence of regular courts also apply 19 district justice courts, in which case a contradiction in evidence should be resolved In favor of the defense. The other opinion is that the rules of evidence of common pleas court do not completely apply to district justice court and that the contradiction was correctly referred to a higher authority for final determination. Despite vast Improvement in recent years, the county DJP courts still have serious shortcomings.

Opinions vary on how serious these problems are. However, there is general agreement that the system has a great deal of merit but is still a long way from being a full- fledged member of the judiciary. 33 DJP courfs in Delco There are 33 District Justice of' the Peace courts in Delaware County. Although times vary, each court keeps regular office hours, and there is 24; hour-a-day coverage throughout' the county.
