The mayor of the town near the border of Lebanon said 21 persons died in the daring raid in which the guerrillas shot women and children and threw them out of the windows. The commandos also went from door to door to shoot anyone who answered.

Some hostages apparently died in the suicide blast. Mayor Avr aham Aloni put the death toll at three guerrillas, two Israeli soldiers, eight adult civilians and eight children. A statement by a Palestinian guerrilla group in Beirut said the guerrillas had hoped to force Israel to release loO Palestinian commandos from Israeli jails but destroyed themselves when Israeli paratroops landed by helicopter on the roof of the three-story apartment house. The raid came at the height of an Israeli political crisis in which Prime Minister Golda Meir and her cabinet resigned. Despite the seriousness of the political crisis Defense Minister Moshe Dayan left an emergency cabinet meeting to fly to Kiryat Shemona Whetherother guerrillas were involved in the operation was not known but both Israeli and guerrilla sources said three man aged between 20 and 30 years and firing rnaehmeguns and bazookas seized the apartment building in a raid just after dawn.

Military correspondents reported earlier there were three guerilla groups including some who gave fire support. The army did not deny these reports but said as far as the army was concerned only three men were involved. Meyer said, and therefore he figures the 11 per cent raise "just about does it Twin Falls teachers were given a 5.5 per cent compound' raise last year, that is 5 5 per cent for the past two yo.irs, but paid all last year. The total increase last -ar was then 11 32 per cent liefi'ie th.tt, te.hrs had not been ftvvn significant salary increases since about 17, Meyer said By CRICKET BIRD Times-News Writer TWIN FALI.S Tentative agreement was reached Wednesday night giving Twin Falls school teachers 11.36 per cent pay increases next year. The base starting salary for teachers would increase from $6,735 to $7,500.

The top base salary would go from $10,115 to $11,264. But a higher salary than $11,264 may be possible, according to Camden Meyer, assistant superintendent of schools. Salary schedules are being revised to include pay classes for teachers with master's degrees plus 30 and 50 hours of advanced study. No classes above a master's degree erist in present schedules. The 11.36 per cent increase dees not include the Increment teachers receive for experience on the job, Meyer said.

Meyer said the Increase is due to extra morfy appropriated by the legislature, in order to king Idaho teacher's salaries up to a level competitive with other states. "We run just about at the bottom of the barrel," Meyer said, in comparison with the national average. Muntana and Wyoming pay their teachers an average of $1,000 year more than Idaho does, Meyer said, and Nevada, Washington and Oregon top Idaho's average salaries by alxmt $3,000. Meyer said "this increase, I'm hoping, will be a little higher than the rate of inflation. That is the legislature's philosophy."
