a sophomore at Another Truce In Cyprus Follows Five-Hour Fight NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) Heavy fighting broke a cease- fire in the southern port of Li- massol at dawn today and Greek Cypriots swung makeshift into a five-hour bat- 1 lie against the Turkish quarter. Then the British arranged another truce. The snooting came as American and British diplomats pursued talks in Nicosia with the of landing an international peace force on this troubled Island. An Associated Press correspondent said he saw five Turkish dead in a Turkish Cypriot area of Limassol overrun in the battle. He said the total could be determined only after officials gained access to the surrounded quarter.

Greek Cypriote said they lost one dead and several wounded. A British military source said the Greek CyprioLs used armored bulldozers, an old tank and homemade armored cars. The original cease-fire was established Wednesday night. British troops moved in as a last resort to try to separate the combatants and were themselves fired on. Such hazards are one reason Britain wants to surrender its police role to an international truce force.

The commission order of Oct. 21 allows dredgers to op- 1 within 300 of live oyster reefs in Trinity and Oalveston hays. The 'former limit was 1,500 feet. Sandlin said the area ha heen the largest shell producing area in the world. The shell is used extensively in the 1 production of cement, and poultry feed as 'well as in the conslrurtion of Soutlu-as Texas roads.

At a hearing in Austin, oyster fishermen and spokesmen for the slicil dredging companies presented their arguments. The dredgers said needed access to the live reels in order to supply millions of worth of industry that use the shell. Fishermen said If the live reels are not protected, the Texas oyster Industry xvould he destroyed. COUNCIL COOK'S SEAT TONIGHT CENTER of the UNITED STATES Beckwith's Jury Was Locked 6-6 JACKSON.
