Senate extends state hiring law Newport, (R.I.) Doily News, Saturday, April 6,1974 3 Murder defendant, successor Former United Mine Workers Union president Tony Boyle, left, is wheeled from Riddle Hospital in Media, yesterday enroute to his trial on charges of using Union (UPl) funds to finance murders of rival Joseph Yablonski, his wife and daughter. Attending trial was Arnold Miller, right, who ousted Boyle as UMW president after slayings. Israeli aircraft, artillery repell Syrians on ground on active duty. Passover celebrates the exodus of the Israelis from Egyptian bondage. Sirens across the Jewish state were to have revived a signal traditionally given by trumpets, marking the time to burn leavened bread, which is forbidden during Passover.

But authorities apparently feared the sirens would send nervous residents hurrying to air raid shelters and cancelled them. The eight-day Passover celebration coincides this year with the Christian Holy and Moslems are celebrating the birth of the Prophet Mohammed. Nearly 40,000 visitors have arrived in the Holy Land and all major hotels were packed. In Beirut, the newspaper Al Liwa reported that the Jordanian government and Palestinian guerrilla leaders have agreed to meet in Cairo.

Prince Edward island, 10-25 miles wide, is Canada's smallest province. By The Associated Press The Israeli military command said a Syrian ground force attacked an Israeli position on Mt. Hermon today and was driven back by Israeli aircraft and artillery. It was the first time Israeli airplanes had been called in since the Syrian front became the scene of daily fighting 26 days ago. An announcement in Tel Aviv said the force struck about 11:45 a.m.

and Israeli "aircraft were brought into action to stop the Syrian column. Artillery fire also was used." The Syrians withdrew 30 minutes later, a communique said. Israeli forces have been on a high alert for the past week or more along the embattled Golan Heights front which includes the 300-square mile wedge of land captured from Syria in the October war. Israel prepared to celebrate Passover at sundown tonight, but its troops were kept on alert and a special siren that was to have signaled the start of the feast was silenced. The country still remembered that the last Middle East war broke Oct.

That war cost Israel nearly 3,000 dead and missing, and continuing clashes on the Syrian front have kept most reservists I'd Go tomorrow By DOROTHY COUNCIL Of course we had to stay at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. A friend once described it as "a little long in the tooth," and she was right; but Singapore and the Raffles just go together. And our dinner in the Palm Court, under a full moon, was a gourmet's delight. But we were looking for a restaurant where we would have a view of the Singapore harbor the fourth busiest in the world.

The desk clerks at the hotel were of no help, and the tour information offices would only recommend restaurants touted for "special" food. We asked taxi drivers and store clerks, and even searched newspaper ads. No luck. But we did answer an ad for a luncheon and the Lanvin fashion show on tour from gai Paree (we missed the show in Bangkok). And then we hurried down to the ferry wharf to take the harbor tour.

It was a delightful afternoon. The small boats and junks rolled and rocked over the sea made choppy by the big steamers, oil barges and ferries ploughing through the deep waters; and the screech of the ships' whistles and the clanging of the bells added to the general excitement. We stopped at a Malay fishing-village on one of the harbor islands, watching the children dive for coins which we threw from the launch, and listening to the bargaining over inexpensive hand made necklaces and bracelets and pins. Our guide was a charming, pretty young Chinese girl, friendly and eager to answer all questions. So, although we had really decided there was no restaurant overlooking this fascinating harbor, we told the guide of our quest.

She spent a good three minutes extolling the delicious hamburgers of McDonald's and then almost reluctantly, and just as we were disembarking, pointed out a bank building near the boat landing, and said there was a very small restaurant at the top. It was not quite sunset, about 6 p.m., but we agreed to an early dinner, and hurried to the bank building. We found a long narrow section of the roof with an open kitchen and about 10 tables.behind a wrought iron rail (which was fairly successful in blocking off the view.) But the gods were with us, as always, and we found one small section with two tables on a raised platform at the very edge of the roof. And the whole panorama of that busy harbor was ours. We ordered a drink and had settled down to enjoy the sunset when we a Navy liberty boat flying the United States flag, weaving its way among the junks and fishing boats.

A touch of home jn a strange land. To stretch out our dinner hour, we barely sipped our drinks (One of the worst I've ever had) and poured over the dinner menu as though we were selecting for a banquet. The sky above the horizon was still pink when the lights started flickering on all over the harbor. Gradually the traffic slowed as, one by one, the boats found their night resting places. Almost as a final "Goodnight" we heard two blasts of a ferry horn, and then all was quiet.

There was the moon; and the bright stars; and the soft blurred forms of the harbor craft with their twinkling lights, and the large ocean-going vessels in the background. The fish was dry and tasteless, the vegetables were overcooked, the coffee was watery and bitter But who cared? We had that glorious, unforgettable Singapore harbor. tory on the West Bank of the Jordan River, occupied by Israel in 1967.

Palestinians say the territory should be granted them directly.

PROVIDENCE (AP) Rhode Island's Senate has approved legislation extending provisions of the state Fair Employment Practices Act to cover government employes and workers in non-profit agencies. The measure, expanding prohibitions against job discrimination, was sent to the House Friday with the prospect it may be amended to further define provisions covering religious institutions. Sen. Robert J. McKenna, D- Newport, a teacher at Salve Regina College, raised the question whether religious organizations would be able to hire persons of the same faith.

One section of the bill would allow religious institutions to discriminate in favor of members of the religion, and McKenna asked if it would include teachers and administrators at religious schools. Sen. Joseph Wakh, D-Warwick, said he thought it would, but suggested that a final determination would be left to the Man, 18, denies possessing pot Warren S. Savaria, 18, of Achusent, pleaded innocent in District Court yesterday to a charge of possessing of marijuana. Judge Paul J.

Del Nero released him in $500 surety bail and continued the case to April 24. Boyce W. Overman, 52, of 18 Bayview Ave. pleaded guilty of behaving in a disorderly manner on Marlborough Street Thursday. He was fined $10.

Receptive audience hears sixties singer By BRUCE SHERMAN Phil Ochs, one of the best known musical mentors of the mid and late sixties protest movement, played to a receptive, nostalgic full house last night at the Salt, a folk club on Thames Street. The 33-year-old musician still uses the same straightforward and simple guitar and singing style to drive home sensitive lyrics about the war in Vietnam, civil rights and more general political sentiments. The material has remained unchanged, and Phil admits to have written nothing new since 1970, though the lyrics of some tunes have been rewritten to update them a bit. Even in these, his tone revives memories of the giant marches on Washington provoked by atrocities of Vietnam, black civil rights efforts, and the general feeling of brotherhood felt by the protestors of the sixties. This brotherhood was revived last night.

It spread through the crowd with bursts of applause and cheers at lyrics we had heard before, over and over, in fact. Plain old nostalgia was question about that. But some in the audience thought the unification against what they see as misuse of authority might be revived more permanently. Ochs, at least, feels this way. He's still the musician that gained his fame as a politico, the purveyor of the food that the protest movement thrived on He has been busy recently participating in a benefit to be called "An Evening with Salvadore Allende," the a i socialist president of Chile.

Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and others are scheduled to play the concert at Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum early next Month. Political activity and travelling have kept Ochs away from his guitar from time to time until recently. The musicians who played several Newport Folk Festivals just returned from a trip to Africa. A new album recently was rele'ased in Canada and is expected to come out soon in this country, he says, but it is a jumble of others' material (from Merle Haggard to Elvis Presley). According to Ochs new material just hasn't come to him.

Some of the re-written material, however, seems to give an apt application of sixties' protest philosophy to current issues. One such tune is "Here's to the state of Richard Nixon," rewritten from a civil rights protest song, "Here's to the State of Mississippi." While the original lyrics criticized the handling of black problems in the south, the new slashed Nixon for, among other things, "punishing with income tax he don't have to pay." "Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of, Richard Nixon, find yourself another country to be part of," runs the slamming refrain. Phil Ochs will play two shows tonight his last in Newport. The first will begin at 9. courts.

McKenna consented to Senate passage after agreeing to work on an amendment and submit it to the House if he thinks it is necessary. Sen. Ula Sapinsley, R-Providence, said the bill was particularly important to blacks and women because government agencies and non-profit religious, charitable and fraternal organizations are among the largest employers of women and racial minorities. Currently, their only recourse to job discrimination is a complaint to the federal Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, which has a backlog of cases for two to three years, she said. The proposed bill will allow the Rhode Island Commission on Human Rights to handle the complaints and issue compliance orders.

Newcomen Society honors banker (Daily News) Charles Penrose, left, congratulates John J. Cummings honored last night at the Sheraton-Islander Inn by the Newcomen Society in North America. Penrose is president of British-American Educational Foundation in New York and president of Newcomen. Cummings is president of Industrial National Bank. At right, is William F.

Goode, vice president and manager of Hornblower Weeks-Hemphill, Noyes. R.L 9 top banker sees bright future By T.CURTIS FORBES Rhode Island's economic future is bright, the state's leading banker told more than 200 members of the prestigious Newcomen Society in North America at a dinner here last night. John J. Cummings president of Industrial National Bank and chairman of the society's state committee, was the guest of honor and main speaker at a formal dinner of the society last night at the Sheraton-Islander Inn. The guest" list, including several bank presidents and senior officers, read like a Who's Who of New England businessmen, most of whom are members of Newcomen.

Cummings was introduced by Gov. Noel, who praised him and the state's largest bank as a fine example of the free enterprise system reflecting economic growth and civic-mindedness. The governor read a long list of Cummings' involvement in civic projects highlighted by the bank president's chairmanship of Project Rhode Island, a coalition of community leaders charged with economic development of the state. The governor said that Cummings played an important role in bringing about a spirit of cooperation between business in labor regarding economic reneweal. Cummings said that the business-labor detente is unique in Rhode Island and augurs well for economic development.

He said that the state has a great deal of wealth, both in terms of talent and financial resources. Cummings spoke on the history of banking in Rhode Island and the growth of Industrial National from its beginning as the Providence Bank in 1791 to its present status as the major component of a $2- billion financial services Company, Industrial National Corporation. The Providence National Bank was New England's oldest banking instituion and the second oldest bank in the country and was founded by John Brown who was involved in the burining of the Gaspee. The Industrial Trust Company was founded almost a century later by Col. Samuel P.

Colt and by the late 1920's had built the tallest building in New England. The Industrial National was the result of a merger of the two banking institutions and brought about rapid expansion of branch banking throughout the state and later the creation of a bank holding company of national renown. Among the banks absorbed by Industrial was the Newport Trust Co. The society that honored the bank and its president last night is a publicly supported tax- exempt corporation founded in 1923. Its purpose is to increase knowledge and appreciation of the free enterprise system through the study of business, industrial and institutional history.

Officers are Ralph H. Mather, chairman and chief executive officer of the First National Bank of Princeton, N.J.; treasurer; Douglas Brown, vice president of the Bank of New York, assosciate treasurer; and Stanley van den Heuvel, vice president and secretary of Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company, secretary. French doctors create intestine for ill persons CHICAGO A Two French surgeons report they have developed a portable artificial intestine which provides long-term nourishment for some cancer and other patients who cannot eat. One of the major advantages of their horseshoe-shaped device, which they call an artificial gut, is that patients can use it at home and can wear it outdoors under their clothing, they said Friday in an interview. The two surgeons, Drs.

Claude Solassol and Henri Joyeux of the Cancer Institute of the University of Montpellier, reported on their development at the annual meeting of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs. Patients who cannot eat or who need additional nourishment because of surgery or other treatment usually receive liquid nourishment through a vein from a suspended bottle. This restricts their activities and usually must be done in the hospital. Solassol and Joyeux also said there is a greater frequency of infection and blood clotting from this type of feeding than from their artificial gut, and there is a danger air will get into the bloodstream. Most importantly, this type of nourishment can be given over a long term exceeding a month.
