Israel Guardedly Optimistic Over Soviet Advisor Ouster From Egypt By -THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Egypt's to oust Soviet military advisers. and to take over military installations the Russians have been manning in Egypt aroused guarded optimism among some Israelis today that it might lessen prospects of war in the near future.

Others thought it might remove a restraining influence. The Egyptian move announced Tuesday also raised questions about Cairo's future relations with the Kremlin. There was no official Israeli One source said the government was waiting to see if the Russians really withdrew. Israeli newspapers described Egypt's action both as "daring" and "dangerous." The Jerusalem Post said the Soviet withdrawal could clear the way for Egypt to undertake "some kind of military adventure," but Cairo could not think in terms of major war without active Soviet assistance. Silence was the initial reaction of the Soviet government to the action by a government in which it has invested billions of dollars.

But some diplomats in Cairo speculated that the Harry Holdsworth, Long-Time Bay Mills Supervisor Dies Harry D.

The grants could be for the entire amount of the projects in some cases. Actual funds would have to be provided in a separate appropriation measure. The grants would be available to all communities, with priorities for economically depressed areas, rural areas losing substantial population, and areas with persistent or creasing joblessness.

House Speaker Carl Albert, cited statistics indicating that for every $1 million of public funds invested in such local projects, 100 jobs would be created. At that rate, the $5 billion program would generate 500,000 construction jobs and, Albert estimated, up to 500,000 other positions created by the stimulus to local economies.

With each player picking up half a point an the draw, the score is in the Russian's favor. The fifth match in the 24-game series is Thursday at 1 p.m. EDT. Fischer had the white pieces Tuesday and with them the first move led off with his favorite Sozin attack, P.K4.

Democrats Hope For Meany Boost By MARGARET SCHERF Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Although AFL-CIO President George Meany wasn't accepting calls from the Democratic vice presidential nominee, some laleaders held out hope today that the full effect of Meany's unhappiness with the party's presidential ticket could be averted.

The 35-man AFL-CIO executive council met to decide whether to endorse Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern and his running mate, Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri. One measure suggested by some labor leaders provided that the federation make no endorsement of a presidential candidate for the first time in its 17-year history, instead leaving it up to each of the 117 member unions to decide whether to endorse. a ticket. The AFL-CIO always has backed Democratic presidential candidates in the past but Meany is very unhappy with the choice of McGovern, Eagleton said Tuesday he had been unable to.

reach Meany on the telephone though he tried for two days. However, he said he talked with nine other labor leaders and received encouragement or outright endorsements from officials of the Machinists Union, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, the State, County and Municipal 'Employes Union and the International Association of Meat Cutters. Kremlin and not Sadat was responsible for the withdrawal as the result of a secret agreement during President Nixon's visit to Moscow. Announcing that his own soldiers will replace Soviet advisers and experts, Sadat said the Russians had let him down by not delivering arms promised in 1971 for confrontation with Israel. The president also indicated friction over Soviet attempts to restrict the use of arms supplied Egypt.

He said he had rejected such attempts and made clear on a visit to Moscow in April that Egypt would not tolerate dictation of its military policies. Sadat said the Russian ouster "does not touch in any way the essence of Soviet-Egyptian friendship" but it is necessary, he declared, to set "a new style for the coming stage of our friendship." Even before Sadat's speech, an exodus of Russian officers from Egypt was visible, causing diplomats and officials in Cairo to buzz with speculation. The president said the withdrawal order became effective Monday but he did not make clear how many Soviets were involved. Informants in Cairo estimated the number at 10,000 to 20,000.

Today's Edition Features Hiawathaland WASHINGTON (AP) An angry Frank Sinatra accused the House Select Crime Committee of character assassination as the panel prepared today to hear from New England gangster Raymond Patriarca about Mafia ties to a racetrack. Committee investigators said they did not know whether Patriarca would answer questions on his alleged interests in the now-defunct Berkshire Downs Racetrack near Hancock, Mass. or stand on the Fifth Amendment. Patriarca, who was transported from federal prison to testify, is serving a ten-year sentence in Atlanta, for murder conspiracy. He was identified by the Justice Department in 1969 as boss of the New England La Cosa Nostra family.

Sinatra told the committee Tuesday he invested $55,000 in the track in August, 1962 and never knew who his other investors were. The retired singer and his lawyer said they had no hint gangster money was in the track. Sinatra said he pulled out after he was elected a track vice president and director without notice. "I didn't know it until I read it on the sports pages," he testified. Sinatra denied any knowledge of the alleged Berkshire Downs La Cosa Nostra money with confident, short answers after stalking into the crowded House hearing room and accusing the committee of irresponsibly listening to charges of another alleged tie with racketeers.

He said the committee should have immediately and publicly refuted testimony by Joseph ('The Baron) Barboza that Sinatra fronted for Patriarca and other La Cosa Nostra money in the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach and Sands Hotels in Los Vegas.
