Kennedy International Airport in New York sometime this week. The Soviets and Arabs charged and Israel denied that Israeli forces were guilty withdrawal of Israeli forces from all occupied Arab territory. The motion would certainly be defeated and the Soviet Union would clearly be going to the assembly because it had been beaten in the council.

It was learned that, on legal grounds, Thant has held up action on the Soviet request for an emergency assembly session and no further steps will be cause the Security Council has been unanimous in all resolutions passed so far on the crisis and there is therefore no legal basis for claiming the council is deadlocked. The Western move was seen as an effort, prior to any assembly session, to force a vote in the Security Council on a Soviet motion demanding the condemnation of Israel as an aggressor and the unconditional taken until there is a decision in the council. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko requested the session in a letter to Thant under article of the UN charter. It states that "the general assembly may discuss any questions relating to the maintenance of international peace and security brought before it by the Security Council. Thant was told by his legal advisers that action under this article requires a formal decision by the council.

The Russians tried to clear the decks Tuesday for the assembly meeting by forcing a vote on the Israeli issue in the council. The council convened at 3:19 p.m. EDT but members declined to vote, and the meeting adjourned almost six hours later. Diplomats hardly had time to gather up their papers when the Soviets insisted on another meeting and the council reconvened at 10:01 p.m. In asking for the special assembly session, the Soviets indicated Premier Kosygin and possibly ether Kremlin leaders might travel to New York for the meeting.

The Russians wanted the assembly session within 24 hours.

The woman, following her normal cleaning routine, simply threw the 40 or so files in the trash can. In the space of a few seconds she reversed all the convictions for theft, hit-and-run and other offences.

The municipal court files had been transferred to Superior Court following the appeals by the convicted persons. The files went to a Superior Court justice who had just moved into a new office. He left the files on his desk, not knowing the cleaning woman had instructions from the previous occupant of the office to throw out anything left on top of his desk.

Almost nothing has been done to implement the plan, but in the 10 years it has been independently restudied at least three times and in each case the 1938 findings were confirmed. Last year, council hired traffic consultants Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade Douglas of San Francisco, architects Erickson- Massey of Vancouver and engineers Phillips, Barratt, Hillier, Jones Partners of Vancouver to make detailed studies on plans for the downtown section of the system, the most complex and costly part of it. These studies, which are not complete, will cost at least $175,000. Basically the plan involves a new Georgia Viaduct, a waterfront expressway and an elevated freeway that would link the viaduct and the expressway. Connected with these are an five days, Dave Mcintosh of The Cana City council will be involved in a head-on freeway crash Thursday morning and dozens of people are going to witness it.

The victim could be the city itself. Council has scheduled a special meeting to discuss what is officially known as the "Vancouver Transportation It is, in effect, the proposed plan for a massive freeway system for the city, with emphasis on the scheme to handle downtown traffic. A great deal is at stake. Traffic strangulation for one thing. Demolition of buildings worth millions of dollars for another.

The future of Chinatown and the $300 million commercial-residential complex planned for the waterfront in fact the future of the city. Ten years ago provincial and local traffic authorities recommended a program for freeways with rapid transit for the metropolitan area. They laid out the general alignment of the arteries that iHT Nobody knows or admits to knowing how many men are in this plight, although the number conceivably could run to thousands. Israel says there were 10,000 dead and 3,000 captured and thousands more loaded onto trucks and set down opposite Egyptian lines at the Suez Canal. How many were taken back and how many escaped before Israeli troops reached the canal is not known, but it seems likely many thousands arc still wandering around the desert if they are still alive.

dian Press reported Tuesday from Cyprus that Israel's next military move will be to make the atomic bomb. The report came from Cyprus because an Israeli censor in Tel Aviv refused to pass it. The censor, an Israeli army officer, said he could not pass the dispatch because he did not know whether it was true. Asked whether he knew it wasn't true, he made a telephone call and returned to say he could not allow the dispatch to be filed. Sources in Tel Aviv say it is likely the Israeli government will make a formal decision to 16 picked up in bookie raid CALGARY (CP) Forty-six men were arrested Tuesday when city police staged 10 simultaneous raids on alleged bookmaking establishments, the biggest such crackdown in Alberta in years.
