A U.S. judge recalled his decision on damages in the IBM-Telex lawsuit.
U. S. District Court Judge A. Sherman Christiansen said he had made substantial errors in justice and that $35.5 million in damages against Mines Machines Corp. were unjustified.
Christensen issued an order granting IBM its application seeking an amendment of the judgment or a new trial on the issues of damage.
In his Sept. 17 judgment in the truist-case court, Christensen also assessed damages of $2.19 million against Telex for industrial espionage.

Israel Bombs Syrian Capital; Heavy Jet Loss Reported
By the Associated Press
Israeli warplanes attacked the Syrian capital of Damascus yesterday, and Egyptian officials at the United Nations said the Israelis had staged a similar raid
The Egyptians said 16 Israel planes had been shot down during the attack on Cairo.
The air raids, which also hit the Syrian city of Homs and military airfields in Egypt, escalated the four-day Mideast war to an international crisis.
The Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, Jacob Malik, called the air raid on Damascus a "barbary, barricade act," and also out of a U.N. Security Council meeting.
Malki cited unofficial reports that the embassies of 10 nations in Damascus were destroyed and that 30 persons in the Soviet Embassy were killed. He offered no official word that the Soviet embassy had been bombed.
WHILE ISRAEL unleashed powerful new thrusts from the air, Egyptian and Syrian tanks snugged it out with Israel armor in the Suez Canal and in the Golan Heights.
Israel said the air raids on Syria had been retaliation for Syrian rocket attacks on Jewish settlements in the occupied Golan Heights.
In Tel Aviv, an Israeli general presented less glowing reports than had been put forth previously regarding Israel's tactical situation in the two-front war.
"It is not going to be a short war," said Mai. Gen, Aharon Yarif.
He said Israel had moved its defense line two or three miles back from the eastern border.
of the Golan Heights fighting on the other tren, he said. "It is still too early to say what will happen."
The air raids on the Syrian cities and the reported raid on Cairo were the first attacks by Israeli warplanes on mass population centers since the war began Saturday.
The Israeli air force said it had hit two Egyptian military airfields, but did not reply immediately to the charge that Israeli planes had attacked Cairo.
Syria said it had shot down a total of 23 Israeli planes yesterday. There were dogfights over the Golan Heights, a hillary area northeast of Israel that the Israelis captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war.
RADIO DAMASCUS declared that Syria had shot down a large number of Israeli planes during the bombing raids on Damascus and Homs. The communique said that five Israeli pilots has been taken to the military bodies of five others had been recovered.
In fighting along the Suez Canal, a Cairo communique said the Egyptian army had
moved nine miles to the east of the 103-mile waterway. Egypt claimed its tanks were

Yarif recently resigned as Israel's military intelligence chief, but was recalled to office by the U.S.
The Syrians, in a broadcast by Radio Damascus, said fighting along Golan Heights had halted by 8 p.m. yesterday after 24 hours of heavy action.
"Units of our armed forces attacked
Kunaita and nearby hills Monday night and managed to flank the city this morning;' the communicate said. 'Fierce police officers struck the district of the city and surrounding areas.'
Israel counterattacked, the Syrians said,
and fighting continued until the evening.
Kunatira, also known as Al Quamaytira, is the largest city in the Golan Heights. It fell to Israel in the 1967 war practically without a shot being fired.
In a conflicting story, Varif said Israel had been able to bring stability to the Golan Heights line. Israel had said Sunday that it would be creating toward Damascus in disarray.

Soviets Denounce Israeli Attacks Promise Aid to Arab Countries
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)—The Soviet Union denounced the Israeli bombing of Damascus yesterday as barbaric and walked out of the U.N. Security Council when Israel sought to blame Moscow for the new Middle East war.
Egypt announced that Cairo also had been bombed and that Egypt had "four war criminals in hand," apparently captured Israeli pilots.
Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malk staged his half-hour walkout after denouncing Israel Premier Golda Meir and Defense Minister Shalom Avraham of criminals whose hands are bloodied.
MALIK RETURNED to his place in the council chamber after Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekah said, "If it were not for the Soviet Union, the Middle East might today be in a state of peace instead of renewed suffering and bloodhed."
Malik called the bombing of Damascus "a barbary, gangster act." He read to the council press reports that said 10 embassies in Damascus had been destroyed and 30 persons had been killed inside the Soviet embassy.
He warned that "the Soviet Union at this critical moment intends to unite with the Arab people who are fighting a just cause against Israel aggression . . . There is now an acute need for us to combine our forces and put an end to Israel aggression."
Malk received almost a half minute of applause when he walked out.
THE COUNCIL met at the request of the United States. U.S. Ambassador John Scall expressed condolences to all countries affected by the conflict and victim of the conflict now raging,..."
But Scali named no countries and made
no specific proposal. The United States had advocated that all combatants pull back to their positions before outbreak of the conflict last Saturday.
Tekaho was interrupted repeatedly by pro-Arab delegates when, in a tense voice, he sought to blame Egypt, Syria and the Soviet Union for the war and to remind the council that the conflict had also claimed its Jewish victims.
"A great deal of the responsibility rests with the Soviet Union, which in recent years has identified itself with the fathed hatred toward Israel by Arab governments, strengthening them with unlimited quantities of arms." Tekoah said.

As the Democratic National convention of 1968 degenerated into chaos, a delegate from Minnesota went outside the hall to hold a rally with protesters. Two were the protestors and the Chicago police.
This type of teaching often goes unrecognized by most of the University, he says, and in particular it is often overlooked by teaching awards.
"Some of the best teaching done at a university is done on a one-to-one basis," he said.
That spirit of mediation marks many of Wright's attitudes and affects his style in teaching cognitive development, a course dealing with child psychology.
Turned on teaching, Wright says, is the result of a teacher being genuinely interested in his field and in his students. Wright sees a direct connection between

THE COMMISSION voted unanimously to adopt the present airport site as the location for airport improvements. The commission authorized application for an $8,632 grant from the Federal Aviation Agency for preparation of an "airport master plan."
"I would anticipate if you vote for this we're off and running," said Buford Watt Jr.
Watson said the earliest possible date for a city bond issue election would be Dec. 11. Hammett opened discussion for the committee with a personal statement of support.
"I regret to say that I do not feel it's possible to maintain any city as is," she said. "Change is inevitable, and I feel that we must be in a position to respond to and somewhat control the change that will take place.
"THE DECISION OF WHETHER to upgrade our airport does not deal with yesterday or today, but we are talking about tomorrow—the future," she said.
The shortages and dislocation of supplies currently being experienced in the United States haven't been present since World War II or the Korean War, she said.
"Some of our own industries in Lawrence are likely to be susceptible to supply disruptions."
"I think we should be aware of this and know that part of our local economy depends on the manufacture of these goods and a constant supply of raw materials."
Additional support for the project came in a letter from Chamber of Commerce President Jack Brand, which was read by Jan Rockam, aviation committee chair.
"A RECENT survey of the 500 largest U.S. corporations revealed that 80 per cent would not locate facilities in cities without adequate airports," Brand said.
"If Lawrence is to remain competitive in keeping the industry we have now and in attracting necessary, desirable new industry, we must offer to these companies transportation facilities that meet their business needs.
"This means adequate business transportation by road. by rail and by air."
Roskum presented the commission seven other letters that gave support to the airport expansion project. Two of the letters came from Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and KU教授, body president, and taken Higuchi, professor of chemistry and pharmacy.
"RECENTLY MEMBERS of my university staff have been utilizing services of Lawrence Aviation Co. because it has provided them with a time as compared to driving." Hughi said.
