Walther, back after a terrifying first-lap accident last year, said, "I feel this year is going to be a better year." 1 1 TfCHNDianicni ponnnni VlssT 1 4r Arabs Threaten Revenge By United Pnis Inttrnilltiul Israeli troops went on high alert near the Lebanese border today after Arab guerrilla groups threatened swift revenge for Israel's two-day retaliation raids against suspected terrorist strongholds. Military sources in Tel Aviv said Israeli forces maintained the alert along the Lebanese border and the northern Galilee region, where a Palestinian guerrilla raid on the town of Maalot left 30 persons dead Wednesday. Israeli planes and ground troops struck at suspected Arab -guerrilla hideouts in Southern Lebanon yesterday in the second day of retaliatory attacks for the Maalot massacre. In Beirut, the Lebanese Defense Ministry said the Israeli forces yesterday killed a woman and destroyed a building in attacks in the southern and southeastern sections of the country.

Where last Saturday there were no guards, today there were five all of them undoubtedly charged with keeping unauthorized persons away from the tower. Last week, not long after rain interrupted qualifications, a middle-aged man climbed the 30-foot-high tower, disrobed and then grabbed starter Pat Vidan's checkered flag before literally dropping to the track and prancing along the straightaway before being corralled by security personnel. Thirty-two cars, just one short of a full "field," lined up in the pits and awaited the opening of the track for practice.

And finally, 69 minutes after the scheduled 9 o'clock opening, the Speedway green light was turned on. Al Unser was the first to get moving but was beaten to the track entrance by Dick Simon and Jim EIreath for the first "honors" of the day. "I've been running so good," said Salt Walther before the start of practice, "that I just wanted to put the car away and leave it there.

I'm anxious to get out on the track again. "The atmosphere? It might help the engine.

But that wind's not going to help." Johnny's dad said: "I love this kind of weather. "You know, back in 1950 I started fifth and took the lead nine laps later and I won the race when, after 345 miles, the rains came. "People have asked me if I feel right by winning the race at that distance. And I say, 'Yeah, I ran as fast as I could while I was out so I took the The crackdown on rowdyism had one negative effect as far as concessionaires were concerned beer sales were down. With a state trooper and a Federal excise man at the end of each beer line, minors were reluctant to try to buy a brew.

Minors caught with a beer were told to dump it out and go about their business with little harassment. George Bignotti, the chief mechanic whose oversized turbocharger on Wally Dallenbach's car last Saturday ignited a furor of "cheating" charges and countercharges, said today he'll use another large blower on the No. '20 car of Gordon Johncock.

Spokesmen for Arab guerrilla organizations denounced Israel for the air attacks and warned that Palestinian commandos would initiate new raids inside Israel.
