Mrs. Glass, 81, died Friday in Atlanta. Funeral was held Saturday afternoon in Smyrna Baptist Church there. She was a lifelong resident of the East Texas town and was active in church work there. The Odessa Glass family lives at 513 East 43rd.

Other survivors include a son, Millard C. Glass of Atlanta; three daughters. Mrs. Wilburn Cross, Mrs. Charles Dell and reported fighting in Syria, and pn Sunday night the Saudi Arabian radio announced that King Faisal has also sent troops to Syria.

It did not say how many. Syrian Information Minister George Saddikni said Sunday that Syrian forces were holding firm against the Israelis. He discounted boasts made by Dayan a few days ago that Dayan would soon be in Damascus. "I want to assure the general that the world's oldest city will never welcome him with open arms. It is a city that knows how to become a graveyard for invaders," Saddikni said in the first news conference given by a high-ranking Syrian official since the war began Oct.

6. In other developments: Egypt charged at the United Nations that Israel had dropped delayed-action antipersonnel bombs on towns in the Nile delta. A Syrian envoy charged Tel Aviv with dropping the same kind of bombs on the suburbs of Damascus. The French government asked Libya to explain reports that French Mirage jets were fighting with the Egyptian air force. France agreed in 1969 to sell Libya 130 Mirages on condition they not be used against the Israelis.

Israel charged Sunday that Mirages were used in Egypt's Sunday offensive and said it shot two of them down. The U. S. government was considering proposing a ceasefire along present battle lines, linked to an opening of negotiations for a final peace settlement. Both the Arabs and Israelis have rejected such a cease-fire, 'but U.S.

government sources said as the war drags on they might soften their position. The Kuwait government announced that representatives of Arab, oil nations will meet in Kuwait on Tuesday to discuss oil prices and the war. range Syrian guns opened up whenever the armored columns tried to advance. The Israeli military command also reported another naval exploit. It said its naval patrol boats sank 14 "armed fishing type" boats in harbor of Ras Gharib, on the Gulf of Suez during the night.

Israel said the harbor, 20 miles across the gulf from Israeli forces on the Sinai peninsula, was ian Egyptian commando base. Otherwise, the Israeli command said, it was a quiet night on both the Syrian and Egyptian fronts. The Egyptian military command said the fighting Sunday along the 102-mile Sinai front "raged with utmost violence and Savagry." Egypt said its forces made territorial gains all along the line. iBut in Tel Aviv, the Israeli command claimed Egyptian armored units failed to penetrate the Israeli defense line which it said was still about 2V4 miles inland from the Suez Canal. Associated Press correspondent Paul Kohn reported from the front that he saw no evidence that the Israelis gave up ground.

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said in a televised speech Sunday night that the "serious, decisive battle" with Egypt was yet to come. "This is not like previous wars. It is a war of many days and much blood," he said. "The important question is not a cease-fire. It is how much equipment the enemy will have left when we have finished the war.

What we would like is for the Arabs to hurt so badly that they cannot think of war." The Israeli command announced Sunday that Israel had lost 656 soldiers in the first eight days of fighting: the state radio gave an unofficial figure of 2,000 wounded. An Egyptian spokesman claimed in Cairo that Israeli casualties were much higher. Neither Syria nor Egypt has given casualty figures. Egypt reported intense air battles over the northern Nile delta Sunday and claimed 15 Israeli planes had been shot down there. Israel announced that its planes had bombed three air bases 50 to 100 miles notth of Cairo.

The Israeli tanks punching into Syria moved up to the town of Sasa, 21 miles southwest of the capital. The Israeli command claimed that its artillery was shelling the outskirts of Damascus, but AP Special Correspondent Hugh A. Mulligan reported from outside Sasa that the Syrians' 130mm Soviet giuis were zeroing in on the dusty road to the capital. "Keeping the Israeli spearhead going is diffult because of murderous Syrian artillery fire," he said. "The Israelis are not having much success in knocking out these long-range Soviet guns firing from the front and flanks." Israeli fighters were reported attacking the Syrian batteries, but they were defended by Soviet surface-to-air missiles.

"The difference this time around is that the Syrians have the sophisticated weaponry and they know how to use it," an Israeli surgeon told Mulligan at a field hospital. A Syrian communique claimed the Israelis had been beaten back on three fronts. It said Syrian forces destroyed 65 tanks, three artillery batteries and a number of vehicles and antitank batteries and shot down five Israeli jets during Sunday's fighting. As yet there was no report of the appearance in the fighting of Jordanian troops which King Hussein announced on Saturday he had sent to Syria. Contingents of Iraqis and Moroccans already had been Rifcs Shied Funeral services for Bertha Sutton, 72, a longtime Odessan, will be 1 p.m.

Johnson wants more money than the state is willing to pay for his land, condemned to enlarge the LBJ State Park. Hiram Hodges takes his plea today to the same three special commissioners who held, in effect, Sept.

25 that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department had grossly undervalued a neighbor's land. The Department has decided to appeal the commissioners' decision that the 131-acre ranch of Eugene Lindig is worth or $2,318 per acre. State-hired appraisers had valued the Lindig place at $1,247 an acre. The state's final offer to Hodges and his wife for their 126 acres was $1,125 per acre for upland and $1,500 for Peder-nales River bottom property. Other landowners in the 550-acre triangle sought for enlargement of the park accepted offers made by the department.

The present 269-acre park was deisgnated in 1964 and is across the river from the LBJ Ranch. Hodges' family acquired its land through a Spanish land grant four generations ago. The place includes a three-story stone house built around 1900. Decisions by the three commissioners can be appealed to a jury in the district court of Judge Marvin Blackburn of Junction. Blackburn empaneled the commissioners to hear testimony and place values on the Lindig and Hodges land.

Moore died early Sunday in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Big Spring following order caused broadcasters to ban many well-known records, including Bob Dylan's "Mr.

Tambourine Man" and the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," because the lyrics were open to various interpretations. They said the FCC emphasis on public interest, a standard for broadcast license renewal, so unnerved station owners that they were refusing to play songs even remotely constructed to imply drug use. The FCC said that it was merely reminding broadcasters of their long-established duty to operate in the public interest. The broadcasters' lawyers also argued that the FCC order was burdensome because of its requirement that' records be screened, and was so vague that newspapers were involved." He said government cannot require a broadcaster to censor its music any more than it can require a newspaper to censor the stories of its reporters. "Under our system the government is not to decide what messages, spoken or in music, are of the proper 'social value' to reach the people," Douglas said.

Brennan gave no reason for his dissent from the court's 7 to 2 decision not to hear the case. In March 1971, the FCC ordered broadcast stations to make "reasonable" effotfs to listen to all records aired and determine whether the lyrics tended to "promote or glorify" illegal drug use. Lawyers for the group challenging the FCC action said the WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court today declined to review a Federal Communications Commission order intended to curb the broadcast of songs allegedly promoting illegal drug use. The court, over the objections of Justices William O. Douglas and William J.

Brennan refused to weigh the challenge brought by a group of broadcasters and radio listeners. They claimed the order interfered with the constitutional guarantee of free speech. Led by Yale Broadcasting the group asked the Supreme Court to review a federal appeals court decision upholding the FCC order. Douglas accused the court's majority of permitting censorship that would be intolerable if broadcasters had np clear guidelines about practices acceptable to the FCC. Yale Broadcasting, which operates Yale University's FM station, had asked the FCC to rule on its proposed policy to implement the screening order.
