PAGE J-UNIONTOWN, TUESDAY, JULY 14, Cambodians Regain Part Of Resort PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) Cambodian infantrymen fought their way up the jungled slopes of Mt. Kiri Rom Monday afternoon and recaptured key parts of the resorl area 50 miles west of Phnom Penh, a military spokesman reported today.

Fighting continued on the mountain today, and the Cam bodian command reported another force of about 1,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese smashed into a battalion headquarters 25 miles south of Kiri Rom. The spokesman said the attackers inflicted heavy casualties on the government force at the village of Srak Neak, then withdrew, carrying their dead and wounded with them. The current Communist objective in Cambodia appears to be to shatter government units and inflict casualties to damage the morale of the Cambodian forces. The heavy fighting west and southwest of Phno Penh once again imperiled Highway 4, the capital's only link with the deep water port of Kompong Som and country's only oil refinery, the military spokesman said. Kiri Rom is 10 miles north of the highway.

The military spokesman said the relief force of Cambodian mercenaries recruited and trained by the U.S. special Forces in South Vietnam's Mekong Delta had retaken the main hotel and other positions. The 300-man government garrison slalioned atop the oot mountain was overrun ear- Saturday with heavy casual- ies. There has been no official of total casualties in the ighling, but the government claims enemy losses are high. Waynesburg (Cnnlinued One) Last year the victim was Paul Long, also a Pittsburgh television figure.

Others were Bob Hope, Blng Crosby, Arnold Palmer and Jack Dempsey. Besides being tho only holiday which Is not a success unless it rains, Waynesburg's Rain Day is also unique in many other respects. Its success or failure is simplicity in and depends entirely on only one thing if It rains or doesn't rain. It is also tho only community festival which has what sports writers would call simon pure amateur status, has no commercial tieups such as bcmily shows or queen contests. It lias rolled along and gained national and International status entirely on Its own without benefit of any booster organizations or high pressure promotional efforls, aside from Ihe bits of folklore handed down from old lime funnel's as means of "bringing on a rain" during a long dry spell.

I THE EVENING STANDARD Calm Marks Ireland Fete BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) The absence of violence during Northern Ireland's huge annual Protestant celebration Monday was attributed today to the massive turnout of police and British troops and a plea for restraint from Premier Jack Lynch of the Irish Republic. As the bands and lodges of the Protestant Orange Order drifted home early today, only one significant incident was reported.

An explosion started a fire in an empty hotel in Belfast, and police said it was caused by an arsonist's incendiary bomb. No one was hurt. More than 20,000 troops and police lined the parade routes as 40,000 Orangemen marched through Belfast and another 60,000 trudged 16 other cities, all celebrating the defeat in of James II's Roman Catholic troops by William of Orange's Protestants at the Battle of the Boync.

Garbull Sr. By LYNN SHERR Assocatcd Press Writer The last time a nation's women went out on general strike, they stopped a war. The dale was 411 B.C.; the war was between Sparta and Athens, and it all took place in a play.

This year, some American women are planning a similar action to try to help end another war--between the sexes. The date is August 26 and it is for real. "We're advising women to do their own thing to confront the unfinished business of equality," explained Belly Friedan, who calls herself chairperson of Lhe evenl and who dreamed up the idea as former president of te National Organization for Women-NOW. She lists the three nationwide strike demands: free 24-hour child care centers; free abor- iions on demand; complete HARRISBURG (AP) Leg- slalion to give public employes right to join unions, bargain and strike under limited conditions was in place for a Senate vote today.

In War For Sex Equality Women Urged To Go On Strike EDITOR'S NOTK-It was supposed to have been successful once before, so some modern women are adopting an ancient ploy: a general strike to force concessions from the male populace. The strike is set for Aug.

26, and In the following, Lynn Sherr of the AP Living Today Department tells what it Is all about and what It hopes to achieve. equality for women in education and employment. "The political parties, corporations, hospitals, churches, unions, mass media--all the establishment groups--have not yet really felt the urgency and power women have as 53 per cent of the population," Mrs. Frledan said. "The strike should make visible the sheer fact of this oppressed majority." In her role as a modern Lysis- trata--the woman who talked her sisters of ancient Greece into abstaining from their men in order to end the Athens-Sparta warfare--Mrs.

Friedan is urging women to march, demonstrate, sit-in, rap, stop typing, stop vacuuming, stop buying and, if appropriate, stop making love, "to do something to stress the surprise element--the' BETTY FRIEDAN the discrimination against women." The August date was chosen to coincide, with the 50th anniversary of the day the 19th Amendment--giving women the vote--was ratified. In 1920, the occasion was celebrated 'with one last suffrage march down Fifth Avenue in New York. Marches and demonstrations are planned this year in Manhattan, at Chicago's Civic Center, in downtown Milwaukee and in Buffalo, N.Y. Although many of the more radical women's groups aren't yet disclosing their plans--they Public Employe Bill Vote Slated In Senate Sen. Thomas J.

Kalman, D-Fayette voted in favor of Amendments extending the scope of the public employe bargaining bill. If the bill passed the Senate on schedule, the House is planning to return on Monday to Mortgage Hike Passed HARRISBURG (AP) A bill hat would hike the maximum nterest allowed for conventional home mortgages from 6 to 9 per cent is on Gov. Shafer's desk. The measure, launched in the iouse in June and encouraged by intense lobbying by the Pennsylvania Home Builders Association passed the Senate 31-15 Monday. Senate Democrats moved to imit the maximum mortgage in- erest In Pennsylvania to rates established by Federal Housing Adminislration and Veterans Aq- ministration, currently 8 per The amendment failed 1828.

Nine Democrats and 19 Rcp- ibllcans voted against the imendmcnl. The 9 per cent rate, in effect tor two years, applies to mortgages worth less than $50,000. the bill rules out additional iharges for securing a mort- uigc. Bankers and builders said the measure would help stimulate lome construction by making more mortgage money available State Senate (Contlmiort from Puge One) The list of salary hikes, including a 136 per cent raise for legislators, was inserted into a 1 louse-passed bill to cut down Ih number of days needed lo move it to Gov. Shafer's desk.

Some members of the House were reportedly in revolt against the list of pay boosts outlined by Sliafcr last week. Rep. Kenneth R. LEC, R-Sulh vim, chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said lie may oppose the bill, adding that his colleagues were "angry and frustrated" at the salary controversy. Sliafcr agreed to sign the salary bill only if it was accompanied by constitutional amendments to reduce the legislature by one third nnd to limit session; to six months.

However, the two reform bills were also passed over, indicating the arrangement with Shat- cr may be near a dead end.

The House had passed its own public emlpoye bill with a slightly tougher strike provision, but House leaders say the Senate wording on strikes is also acceptable. Gov. Shafer has expressed reservations about the limited right of public employes to strike, but indications are he will sign the measure if it reaches-his desk.

The measure received preliminary approval Monday, after Democrats were successful in extending the scope of the bill Include county and nonprofit institution employes. A 25-21 vote to Include county workers under the bill defied stiff opposition from Republican chairmen who control thousands of a patronage jobs in the state's 67 counties. The chairmen feared the broader bill would spell "the end of the Republican organization in the state," one senator said. However, Sen. A.

Frederick Hobbs, R-Schuplkill, who backed the amendment, said county politics would not be greatly aKected should the measure become law. "Where there is a tight Republican county, the patronage workers just won't be able to get organized," Hobbs said. Sen. Jeanette F. Reibman, D- Easton, moved' to add nurses and other employes of non-profit institutions to the list of workers included in the bill.

Mrs. Reibman said exclusion of the hospitals, colleges and other state-aided institutions, would amount to "sheer discrimination." She said such action would amount to subsidy of operations by employes who work for lower wages than their counterparts in unions. The Reibman proposal carried 27-19, triggering a round of applause in the Senate chamber from a group of nurses and hospital workers.

Lawrence Boat Sinks MASSENA, N.Y. (AP) A 359-foot Canadian cargo vessel sank in the St. Lawrence River near here early today, leaving nine persons missing, including two women and two children, said a St. Lawrence Seaway official at the nearby Eisenhower Locks. The ship, the Eastcliffe Hall, was bound for Saglnaw, Mich, with a load of pig iron, the official said, when it went down near the Crysler Shoal after apparently hitting a submerged object.

Ontario provincial police said there were 12 survivors, some of whom swam ashore. The police said the ship hit a reef agout 70 miles southwest of Montreal. The ship was owned by Hal! Corp. of Canada, a Montreal firm. Divers from area rescue squads were sent to the scene.

From New York, consumer boycotts will be launched against companies considered most exploitative of women. "We're looking, at the advertising," explained a member of a Manhattan group called BITCH, which is researching a list of 10 companies.

"We're looking for the companies which exploit the image of. women, give a very peculiar slant to what women are really about." The economic boycotts will be maintained, she said, until the companies agree to change their advertising and pay to women reparations for use in child care centers. To bolster the motto that "Sisterhood is of the strike's themes--members of the National Coalition of Nuns, which claims a national membership of 1,800, has agreed to participate in the Chicago protest. Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler, spokeswoman for the organization who marched in Selma, in 1961 but has never joined a feminist demonstration, said, "I personally will do anything which will further the cause of women." In New York, women leaders are also talking about a "baby- in which infants will be set on the steps of City Hall to dramatize the demand for child care centers. In several cities, the day's motto for housewives will be "Don't Iron While the Strike is Hot." And in Chicago, where Rep.

Martha W. Griffiths, D- is scheduled to deliver a noon-hour speech in front of the big Picasso sculpture in midtown, women will also stage sit- ins in at least a dozen all-male bars. Endorsed by the League of Women Voters, the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Labor Department and almost every women's liberation group in the spectrum, the strike claims a diverse list of sponsors: Rep. Shirley Chisholm, have been discriminated against more because I am a woman than because I am Kate Millet, writer Gloria Steinem, Congressional candidate Bella Abzug, and Jeannelte Rankin, the first female member of the U.S.

House of Representatives. So far, they have aroused lit- tie collective interest from large unionized groups of women: nurses, telephone workers, factory employes. But many female leaders, like the NOW members in Florida, are urging women to stay on the job and initiate private action--discussion groups, for instance--if they would be penalized for walking out.
