HR Miller Cease-Fire (Continued from Page 1) with a number of Arab capitals directly concerned in the battle." Egypt had given no official news of today's fighting on either side of the canal up to the time of the cease-fire announcement. But Syria reported in an official communique at 2 p.m. that Syrian and Israeli war planes, atillery and ground forces fought a fierce battle in the Mount Herman area today. It said the battle was stilly going on. 1 The communique claimed six Israeli planes, including two helicopters, were shot down.

Egypt now has claimed to have downed a total of 306 Israeli planes since the beginning of the war. Syria has claimed 324. Jordan has claimed two and Iraq and Lebanon one each. That made a grand total of 634 Israeli planes the Arab countries have claimed to have shot down since the start of the conflict. The Iraqi news agency said Soviet Premier Alexei N.

Kosygin flew to Cairo today for his second meeting in a week with Egyptian officials. In the war, Israel said its crack Golani Brigade paratroopers recaptured a Syrian outpost on Mt. Hermon, a peak, clearing the last Arabs out of the Golan Heights. The Syrians seized part of the peak from Israeli defenders on the first day of the war. A Damascus communique, which insisted fighting was still going on, said fresh Israeli paratroopers-landed on the hill early today to reinforce 400 commandos flown in Sunday in 14 helicopters.

Israel said its troops on the northern front were in control of all territory held before the war and also occupied 300 square miles of new Syrian land. Israel said its forces on the southern front seized a 475-square-mile slice of Egypt, but conceded Egyptian troops were still occupying most of the east bank of the Suez Canal in the Israeli-held Sinai Desert. The Israelis reported destroying more man 60 per cent of Arab tanks in the Sinai. Egypt, however, said Arab troops on the southern front launched "Unceasing and successive attacks" on both banks of the 102-mile-long canal and the Israeli forces were "fighting desperately." en heads the department's Criminal Division. About 35 persons attended a staff meeting after Cox' dismissal Saturday night.

Spokesman James Doyle said not one person raised a hand when Deputy Prosecutor Henry Ruth asked who would not be on hand for work Tuesday. 'The message I want to get across Doyle said in a news briefing Sunday, "is that we are a criminal prosecution task force, we have reason to believe some' serious crimes have been committed and we want to prosecute." Noosior (Continued from Paget) years and have one type of reaction from that I am very much distressed by the situation," Milligan said. "I have the utmost trust in the integrity of Bill Ruckelshaus, the only one involved that I know personally. "There is no question but there are important ramifications on this as far as his personal political future is concerned," he added with regard to effects of the split on Ruckelshaus' chances for getting a U.S. Senate nomination as he did in 196a" But there is also no question that the President's actions are going to have some effect on his (Nixon's) reception in Indiana, because Bill Ruckelshaus is very popular here." Republican National Committeeman L.

Keith Bulen said since Ruckelshaus said during confirmation hearings he would not be a senatorial candidate in 1974, he would probably stick by that decision. Any races farther away would be too early to speculate on, he added. "I'm sure many persons' reactions are that this was a rather insensitive way in which to handle able, respected, devoted, loyal officials of the caliber of Mr. Ruckelshaus and Mr. Richardson Bulen said.

He also said the actions could affect Nixon's popularity "certainly among those of us who have a great deal of affection for the Ruckelshauses." Bule predicted that the actions would cause a delay in the confirmation of Rep. Gerald Ford, as vice president as some members of Congress "examine the President more closely even to the extent of backing his impeachment." He added that Nixon must have looked on the action as the only way to close the Watergate case and "'get on with dealing with a potential World War III, the energy crisis and other problems" because pre-occupation with it had "interfered with the progress of the nation on other areas." if J' i I JOHN D. CONNORS hat Joined I -ASCI' i WJixon's (Continued from Page 1) McCloskey, say they intend to offer impeachment resolutions when Congress reassembles Tuesday from the long Veterans Day holiday weekend. House Democratic Leader Thomas P. O'Neill said he had talked with a "considerable number" of House members and "we've all talked about impeachment.

Senate Democratic Whip Robert C. Byrd, W. conservative and usually a Nixon supporter, said "pressures are increasing" in the House for impeachment and, "The President hasn't left us with much other choice." 31 Favor Proceedings Of the first 49 House members who expressed an opinion in the initial wave of comment over the weekend, 31 Democrats and one Republican said or indicated they favored impeachment proceedings. Opposition was expressed by only two Republicans and a single Democrat. But many members didn't commit themselves.

Impeacement resolutions were prepared by Democrat Jerome Waldie of California, Parren Mitchell of Maryland and New Yorkers Ogden Reid and Bella Abzug. "No man is above the law," said Reid, a former Republican, "and no president can be permitted to flout the decisions of two courts, endanger pending prosecutions and break a commitment to the Congress to insure an independent special prosecutor." House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan said Nixon's proposed compromise on the tapes was "fair and reasonable and Cox shoald have accepted it." Ford's nomination to succeed Agnew as vice president is likely to become hostage to the battle over the tapes. White House officials said Nixon was so certain the Senate would not confirm a new attorney general until the dispute is settled he will not even nominate one, letting Bork hmd the role in the meantime. y.

He Thought Twice Police officer Lawrence Whitman was on patrol in the southwest area of Los Angeles early Saturday when he sighted a bluish-white light streak, but he thought twice about reporting it. He said he didn't report the mysterious light streak which fell' to the earth in seconds because last year he and another officer were reprimanded for allegedly dreaming up the so-called "watermelon hoax." They reported that a woman dropped a 51-pound watermelon on her boyfriend. But Whitman decided to report Saturday's incident after a half dozen other officers acknowledged they also had seen the light streak.

Another officer; said he felt the air change from very cold to hot in minutes in the area where the light was sighted. "I got cold and shook like it was 28 degrees, and after I came out of this alley, everything was back to normal. Then I made another turn through the alley and the air felt like it was 90 degrees," he said. Deaths EDITH BOOHER Edith Booher, 77, 720 S.
