Page Lumberton, N.C., Sunday, March 10, 1971 Fighting Flares Again On Israeli-Syrian Line Story from front page BANIAS, Occupied Golan Heights (AP) Fighting flared briefly across the Israeli-Syrian cease-fire line Saturday as Israeli troops and tanks reinforced the front against any Syrian offensive. Troop carriers accompanied by American-built tanks swept civilian traffic aside on the Golan Heights on their way to front line positions as Israeli jets flew high above. The cease-fire line has been Israel claimed that Syria was considering renewed fighting in an.effort to recapture some of the 300 square miles of lost to' Israel in the October war. Israel's military command said Syrian gunners fired several rounds at positions near Jaba, an occupied Syrian village of squat stone houses. Damascus radio, reporting the incident, claimed the Syrians destroyed an Israeli bulldozer and another vehicle.

The Israeli communique said no soldiers were hit and did not mention damage. Israeli artillery positions did not answer the fire. The thumping of the Syrian artillery explosions was heard from this former Syrian officers' resort taken by Israel in the 1967 war. It lies about 15 miles west of the fighting. Israeli military police blocked off the Golan Heights to unauthorized civilian traffic and Jewish settlers in the 15 communal villages on the occupied land were warned to stay near bomb shelters and sleep in bunkers at night.

But there was no apparent action in the Golan area to confirm the Israeli warnings of a planned Syrian offensive. Premier Golda Meir said in a televised statement that Israel had received a warning of a possible Syrian attack last and immediately front line troops were put on red alert. It was the Syrian situation that led Defense Minister Moshe Dayan to withdraw his resignation from the new government and convinced Mrs. to head the new cabinet. She was to present her new government to parliament Sunday for confirmation.

Mrs. Meir did not say which country had supplied the intelligence reports of a Syrian buildup, but newspapers claimed the United States was the source. The premier said Israel had asked the same "diplomatic quarters to do what they could to prevent the renewal of fighting." A State Department spokesman said he knew of no special appeal to the United States. in government, and followed months of study of oil prices and supplies and the Arab embargo. In several instances, the recommendations parallel those in a bill being drafted by the Senate Commerce Committee.

A provision in that draft and in the subcommittees' recommendations would roll back the prices of oil on grounds they are far in excess of the levels needed to stimulate production. A similar provision in the emergency energy bill led Nixon to veto that measure last week. The subcommittees said a rollback to December 1973 levels would cut company revenues by $6.5 billion a year without affecting production. The report noted that prices of domestic crude oil average 80 per cent higher than nine months ago. Perhaps the most controversial recommendation in the report is the call for Congress to reduce the authority for the major companies to control most phases of the petroleum market, from drilling to selling.

At a minimum, the report said, the largest companies should be required to sell their pipelines. The panels said the major firms are able to shut independent companies out of the market by controlling access to pipelines.

Kobeson Technical Institute is trying to make it easier for prospective employes and prospective employers to get together. The school is setting up visits for interviews for future employers. As the spring quarter begins in early March at R.T.I, some 40 individuals are starting their last round of classes at the school. These students will complete their work in various areas of business education by They will receive associate degrees in commencement activities in August.

jThe. two-year will receive associate degrees are in four curriculums: ac- counting, business administration, general office technology and secretarial science. To make it easier for employers and applicants for jobs get together, R.T.I, is plan- 'ning to arrange for visits to the campus by employers. These employers are asked to give a preference as to the date they would like to be on the.R.T.I, campus and the type of personnel they are interested in. After the date of the visit has been set up, the institute will help in other ways.

Upon arrival at the campus, the interested employer will be supplied with a folder containing information about possible candidates for jobs. This folder will contain a resume of the student's courses, a resume of work on the campus and an evaluation by teachers of abilities. With this information, the prospective employer will have an opportunity to interview any personnel in whom he is interested. If the personal visit to the R.T.I, campus is not convenient, then future employers may contact the school and set up interviews at their own places of industry. The interviews will begin in early March and will continue until mid-May, which will mark the end of the spring quarter.

Notices have been sent to many firms in the Robeson County area, informing such firms of the possible candidates for employment that will be completing their two-year programs at R.T.I. The Department of Student Services at R.T.I, may be contacted by any interested persons. This department is especially concerned with the placement of students and with trying to find a perfect match between potential employer and potential employe.

They were predicting that unemployment would rise to 8 to 10 per cent, utilities would face brownouts and blackouts, and industry would be making massive layoffs, he said, adding the forecasts never came true. "So now, the doomsdayers have switched to gasoline," he said.

By HARRISON HUMPHRIES Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A Senate study of the Middle East warned on Saturday that while the Arabs may lift the oil embargo against the United States they again might use their oil as a weapon in dealing with difficult issues with Israel. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff report painted a gloomy picture of the prospects for settlement of Arab-Israeli differences.

The report by Seth Tillman on his visit to Israel and six Arab nations last November and December was made public by Chairman J.W. Fulbright, D-Ark. "On the basis of viewpoints and positions that were expressed on both sides, it seems unlikely that the Geneva peace conference can or will result in an early general settlement," Tillman wrote. "The Arabs say that the Israelis must withdraw to the borders of 1967 before there can be normal relationships; the Israelis say that there must be normal relationships before they can'withdraw. The two positions seem, for the time being, irreconcilable." Tillman said the Arabs are convinced of the justice and effectiveness of the oil embargo as a lever on American foreign policy.

The Watergate indictment charges all seven men with conspiracy to obstruct justice by attempting to thwart the investigation into the Watergate burglary and wiretapping "by deceit, craft, trickery and dishonest means." The conspiracy indictment, listing 45 overt acts, alleges a train of lies, use of influence to throw investigators off the track, and payment of hush money to the men who plotted and carried out the entry into Democratic party headquarters on June 17, 1972. Each count in the indictment returned March 1 carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Mitchell was charged in five additional counts: obstruction of justice, two counts of lying to a grand jury, one count of perjury and one of lying to FBI agents. The total maximum sentence on all counts is 30 years.

Haldeman and Ehrlichman, who were Nixon's chief of staff and domestic adviser, each are charged with one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of lying. Maximum sentence is 25 years. Colson, formerly a White House faces a maximum of 10 years in prison; Parkinson, lawyer for the e-election committee, 10 years; and Strachan, formerly in the Nixon-Mitchell law firm and later Haldeman's personal assistant, 15 years. Sirica took the pleas from Ehrlichman and Colson in the burglary of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office as a matter of accommodation. The other four men named in that indictment will be arraigned Thursday before U.S.

ticipate that, once lifted, the "oii weapon" will be used again in dealing with difficult issues ahead, particularly the fate of Jerusalem. "On the basis of our conversations with Saudi Arabia officials, there would seem to be no doubt whatsoever of the seriousness and determination with which King Faisal regards himself as the guardian and trustee of the Muslim holy places," Tillman wrote. "Although the King might be amenable to one or another possible arrangement, it seems most improbable that he could ever be reconciled to Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem, no matter what arrangement might be made for the holy places." Tillman said the Syrians emphasize two objectives: the recovery of the Golan Heights from Israel and the right of the Palestinians to return to their homes. On the basis of what he called "fragmentary indications," Tillman said "the Syrians seem no fonder of the Russians than are the Egyptians." He, quoted an unnamed Eastern European diplomat in Dam- ascas as saying that "if the United States were to compel Israel to return the Golan Heights, Syria would waste no time in packing off its Soviet advisors."

About two years ago there was an article in The Robesonian saying that Jack Pait would donate his land by the river for recreation purposes if the Glenn Street bridge was killed. Now that it's dead, does he still plan to do this? If so, when, and if not, why The offer was made by Pait on behalf of the Robeson Broadcasting Company, and a deed to the property was delivered to city hall. Pait said the only official response he received was a letter from the city attorney enclosing a copy of city council minutes showing that the council had rejected the offer.

The deed was not returned, and at last report it was lost. Pait said he believed the next move, if any, is up to the city. If a request for the property is received from the city council, he said he would take it up with directors of the broadcasting company. He indicated that one consideration would be whether the city had any definite plans for recreational use of the Consul And 8- Year-Old Both Victims Of Kidnaps The FBI charged three persons Saturday with plotting to kidnap a foreign consul in Los Angeles, and agents in the New York area hunted for three more persons in the abduction of an 8-yearrold boy. Arrested in the Los Angeles plot were Maria Theresa Alonzo, 22; Garrett Brock Trapnell, 36, and Robert Bernard Hedberg 37.

Police said Miss Alonzo was once an associate of convicted killer Charles Manson. Trapnell, serving a life sentence for skyjacking, and Hedberg, charged with unlawful flight and assaulting a policeman, are both in the Los Angeles County Jail, the FBI said. The three were accused of conspiring while both men were in jail to kidnap the consul general of one of the following countries: Estonia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland or Haiti. In Hackensack, N.J., the FBI said it was searching for at least tliree more suspects in the kidnaping of 8-year-old John Calzadilla of Dix Hills, N.Y. Four young men already were being held in the case.

Arrested in the kidnaping were Norberto M. Fernandez, 17; his brother, Eligio, 19; Ricardo R. Tuero, 17, and Wilfredo Alvarez, 18, all of Union City, N.J. The FBI said they were charged with violating federal kidnaping statutes. Agents said the four arrested men and the boy's parents are natives of Cuba, but they discounted political motives for the abduction.

"This appears to be a kidnap- ing for ransom," said one agent Saturday. The $50,000 ransom paid by the boy's father has not been recovered. Authorities said the Calzadilla boy was lured into a car as he walked home from school Wednesday by two men and a woman. The boy was released Friday. In California, the family of kidnaped coed Patricia Hearst hoped good-will groceries being distributed to thousands of persons would prompt her abductors to break a 17-day silence.
