US Agrees To Sell First Fall Frolic Israel Some More To Feature Area Groups Fighter-Bombers (Continued From Om) changing for days that they have been put at a distinct military disadvantage by Russia-supported action by Egypt in moving sophisticated antiaircraft missiles closer to the Suez Canal in violation of an Aug. 7 standstill While the United States has not assessed the violations as seriously as have the Israelis, the combination of the Egyptian move and the loss by the Israelis, of several Phantoms during the fighting just before the truce apparently led to the decision sell Israel some additional Phantoms. The Post, quoting well- informed sources, said the new shipment of Phantoms would begin later this month and would continue the remainder of the year at a rate of four or five a month. Israel had asked for 25 more Phantoms earlier in the year but the United States deferred a decision, indicating they be provided unless a determination that not there was the military balance had shifted against Israel.

The Israelis lost a number of Phantoms during almost daily attacks on Arab targets. The number of losses has not been made public, but has been estimated at more than half a dozen. Sixteen to 18 more Phantoms would presumably be about double the number lost.

The Planning Commission is proceeding with a further study of the project. The supervisors approved the purchase several books on the subject to aid in the study.

A discussion on the recent assessment re-evaluation was held. General opinion was that farms seem to be affected most by the new assessments. The supervisors agreed that millage for township purposes will be lowered next year and. that letters of concern be forwarded to both the County Commissioners and school directors, since the new assessments directly effect the taxes these two bodies place upon the township taxpayers. The township roads will be checked to see if any additional mowing of right-of-ways i necessary.

North Londonderry Citizen: Urge Supervisors To Sto Actin Oh Seers PALMYRA, North Londonderry Township Supervisors received a request From the North Londonderry Township Citizens Committee executive committee to stop any further action on any sewerage project in the -township at a meeting Tuesday night in the Morthside Elementary School. In their report, the spokesmen For the Citizens Committee, Bruce Williams and Charles Sweitzer, co-chairmen, asked the supervisors to submit the original plans for the feasibility study to the state and drop any further action for the 500-home sewerage project for the southern end of the township area located south of the Borough of Palmyra. They also requested that the supervisors discontinue all previous surveys which the committee had requested. "It is inconceivable that Gilbert Associates can't or haven't received cost figures or a writ- en agreement to hook up to the Palmyra sewerage system at this advanced date of planning and engineering," the spokesmen said. "Based on the above, the committee unanimously concludes that as far as we are concerned, the sewerage project should be dropped." At present the sewerage project is in phases two and three of a feasibility study which includes design of a system.

In the first phase of the study, concluded last October, Gilbert Associates recommended that the least costly system would be to build one to connect to the Palmyra system. Gilbert was given the contract to proceed with the phases two and three last October. Since that time the engineering firm has completed the surveying and now has about 20 per cent of the drawings to complete, according to report by Thomas Smith, engineer in charge of the project. Smith told the supervisors that because of the heavy vacation schedule'at Glace and Glace at this time, he has not received any cost figures from the borough's engineering consultants for the sewerage treatment facilities. His first communication to Palmyra Borough to initiate talks about the possibility of connecting a North Londonderry Township system to the Palmyra system was sent in May.

Costs Phase one of the feasibility study cost $3,500, with half of that amount paid in a state grant. Phases two and three are costing $59,000. After some discussion, the supervisors said that 'because of the closeness to completion of the feasibility study, they will let the study continue to fulfillment. Again the supervisors pointed out that the cost figures in the brochure mailed out to the residents several months ago did not include any. state or federal grants.

Application has been made with the Bureau of Housing and Urban Development for a $537,000 grant. Members of the Citizens Committee asked the supervisors to send the Information to Congressman Edwin Eshleman to see If there Is any possibility of federal help in the project. Secret ary-treasurer John Rauch reported that he and David Gontz of the Citizens Committee met with a representative of a manufacturer of an aerobic waste treatment on-kit sewerage disposal system which is similar to a septic tank but returns the'water to the ground at about 95 per cent purity. Other Action In other action, the supervisors decided to proceed with a salt stabilization project on Naftzinger Road. Roadmaster Irvin reported that he is behind in Wi road schedule.

In several in stances he was unable to secure the assistance from the heavy equipment suppliers on schedule and then weather condition haye hampered the operations. He reported that some work was done along Naftzinger Road, Plaza Drive, Old Forge Drive and Ridge Road. He also prepared a map for township roads for the Citizens Fire Company of Palmyra which supplies fire protection to the township. Herr reported that lates indications are the intersection of Plaza Drive will be completet in about two weeks. He is wait ing for the borough to complete its street at the intersection so that the whole project can be done at one time.

Warning Signs Signs were ordered posted In several sections of the township to warn drivers to beware children. Herr noted that because he is behind in the road schedule, is not sure if the Ridge Road project can lie completed befor cold weather. He will work get the base of the road in. Police Report Police Chief Melvin Huffman and his assistant, Rober Huffman reported a total of 1 arrests, four accidents including one fatality investigated, am one burglary. They put in a tola of 205 hours in patrolling.

"I'd be putting my name to' he liquidation of the railroad ndusti-y" by 'signing such wage greements, Hiltz snapped. No Industry Offer He declined to say whether he railroads had made a coun- er offer, but union officials said here had been no industry wage offer. In addition to Crotty's approx- mately 100,000 rail mainte- iance workers, the talks involve ipproximately 200,000 workers in the Brotherhood of-Railway Clerks headed by C. L. Dennis and the, United Transportation Union headed by lharles Luna, and another 2,000 lining car workers represented! Vice President Richard mith of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes.

"The talks are going no- vhere," said Smith, who joined Dennis and Luna in reaffirming he strike deadline at 12:01 a.m. Thursday unless "meaningful" negotiations take, Crotty las indicated a willingness-to the deadline, but also only if there are "meaningful" alks. $2.2 Billion Cost Hiltz said the unions' wage demands alone would cost $2.2 bil- ion over three years, compared with what he said" was the entire ndustry's net operating revenue of $600 million in 1969. and only an annual rate of $350 million so, far in 1970. Usery said no decision had been made on whether Nixon would invoke a 60-day strike delay under the National Railway Labor Act in the latest dispute, but added that such a move could be made few hours if necessary to prevent a strike.
