Israeli Jets Attack in Egypt
By the Associated Press
Israeli jets attacked near the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal yesterday, and Egypt said the strike loomed over Gaza. The war has caused canal failures and destroying some homes.
It was the first reported raid in the new Middle East war on a conglomerated area.
An Israeli communique said military inattuations and missile attacks around Gaza had been tacked in the air raids during the day. No mention was made of an attack on the city.
EGYPTIAN communiques claimed that their forces on the Israeli-occupied east bank of the Sinai Canal绥控 the oceans, and transported 109-138 mile canal from Port Said, in hand-to-hand combat and attacked and burned oil fields run by the Israelis in southern Sinai on the east bank.
Israeli communiques said nothing about any attacks on oil fields, and military of officials declined to comment on the Egyptian claim that El Qantara had been taken.
THERE WAS no way to obtain independent verification of the claims of either side since news correspondents were not permitted into the battle zones.
A special session of the Security Council on the Middle East war adjourned without decision last night after the United States and Iran announced an arms and China on how to stop the fighting.
U. S. Ambassador John A. Scali asked Israel, Egypt and Syria to halt military operations and "return to the positions before hostilities broke out." The Soviet Union and China demanded that Israel saw from all Arab lands it conquered in 1967.
President Jaafar Numary of Sudan announced in Khartoum that he had dispatched an undisclosed number of troops to fight with the Egymenians and Sovians.
THE ISRAELIS said their aircraft had been attacked inside Egypt and Syria but communicated in Tel Aviv listed only installations and airfields as targets.
Most of the Egyptian and Syrian air activ-
it apparently has been in aerial combat against Israeli planes. The Egyptians and Syrians claim that their planes and anti-aircraft defenses have shot down 160 Israeli planes since hostilities began, Israel reportedly has 480 warplanes.
Israel has not officially reported the number of Arab planes its forces have shot down, but one senior air force officer estimated the number at 85 to 90.
That officer said in a radio interview that the Syrian and Egyptian air forces were also deployed.
The Egyptian commandes do not say how many civilian casualties there were or how many homes were damaged. Port Said
was once used by the Soviet navy, but the Russians pulled out of Ecovort last year.
THE COMMUNIQUES were issued in Cairo at 10 p.m. last night after a day in which the Israelis claimed their tanks and planes were clashing the Syrians out of the Golan Heights in the northern sector and had pushed the Ecuvians back to the canal.
But the Egyptians countered those claims by saying that their tanks were cutting through the desert, while the Israelis since the 1967 Middle East war, and that the Israeli defenders were being killed.
THE EARLIER communiques from Caroid did not say exactly how far into Sinai

New War May Determine If Arab Oil Is a Weapon
By FRED COLEMAN Associated Press Reporter
LONDON-The new war in the Middle East could determine whether oil is really in danger of being lost.
Experts in London agree that if the weapon is used the result will likely be oil shortages in Western Europe, in Japan and to some degree in the United States. Higher fuel prices and perhaps rationing could result.
There are strong pressures on the Arabs to tread carefully before unleashing the oil weapon. By the third day of the war, there was still no sign of any plan by the major Mideast producers to cut off oil Malaysia from participating for three months following the 1967 war.
It remained to be seen whether some Arab states may yet decide to cut back oil supplies in an attempt to pressure the United States and others to drop support of oil, which would talk of such a cutback in Arab capitals even before the outbreak of hostilities.
the Egyptian forces had gone since first crossing the canal Saturday, the Jewish day of mourning.
The Israelis denied those Syrian and Egyptian claims.
The Syrians claimed they hurled back an Israeli counter-offensive in the Golan Heights and had retaken the east bank of the Suez Canal.
The game was interrupted by a wild brawl at second base in the fifth inning. The Cincinnati Reds were called off the field by the Reds' manager when the capacity Shea Stadium crowded left fielder Pete Rose with debris.
Rose was forced at second base on an imming-ending double play and brushed back by Mets pitcher Jerry Koosman before singling. R_slid in hard at Mets shortstop Har Burreilson in an attempt to break up the double play.
The victory gave the Mets a 2-1 edge in the National League best-of-five series and left New York needing one more victory to earn a World Series berth.
The Mets whacked the Reds, 9-2,
in a brawl-filled third game of playoffs.
"This is the first civilian city hit by the Israelis," said Egypt's military communique. "The enemy should be prepared to bear the consequences of his deeds."
In the American League, the third game in a playoff between the Oakland A's and the Baltimore Orioles was postponed because of rain and replay.
Henry Kissinger urged the USSR to act responsibly in the Middle East.
The clearest point to emerge so far was that the new war probably would change the balance of power.
In a mostly philosophical foreign policy address, Kissinger also appealed to congressional and other critics to understand that the “policy maker must make the right decisions.”
Kissinger touched briefly on that troubled area of the world, but his remarks were pointed.
"We shall resist aggressive foreign policies," he said. "Detente cannot survive irresponsibility in any area, including the Middle East."
Before the renewed war, diplomats and oil company officials in Europe, America and the Middle East generally agreed the Arab oil weapon was a long-term problem.

Senate voted to ban coal strip mining
The danger point was seen to be around 1980, when the United States expects to be importing more than a quarter of its oil in 2014, but the proportion is much lower, than that now.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., chief sponsor of the bill, said the bill strikes a balance between strong environmental protection and the need for fossil fuels.
The amendment to protect surface owners of coal-bearing lands was offered by Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont.
Later, the Interior Ministry in Cairo warned civilians in repeated broadcasts to avoid picking up strange objects from the ground.
Any Arab reduction of oil supplies would have speeded the search for oil elsewhere, and the development of alternate energy supplies from coal, nuclear reactors and other sources. President Nixon said the Arabs had no stranglehold on the United States because of these alternative energy sources.
Justice Department officials will testify they didn't leak news to discredit Agnew.
The department said yesterday that it wouldn't contest attempts by Agnews attorneys to subpoena department officials to give sworn testimony.
Department attorneys objected strongly to subpoenaes issued by Agnew's lawyers to newsmen who have written stories based on confidential information. The department said the charges of news leaks were "legally irrelevant, and provided no basis for halting the investigation as Agnew has demanded.
Experts here say the total margin between world oil producing capacity and current demand is about a million barrels a day, or between 2 and 3 per cent of current supplies. In effect this means that if only one radical Arab oil producer, like Libya, were to cut off its supplies there would be a shortage that could lead to some rationing.
However, the supply situation has changed, since the United States last year ceased being self-sufficient in oil and became a major importer.
"The NIHUMAN enemy may throw objects that may be explosives," the ministry said. "We all should be aware of the enemy's inhumane methods for our own
"We will attack the enemy until we break their bones."
There was no further elaboration. Cairo, a city of six million, was virtually blocked out by the Nile.
Earlier yesterday, the Israeli military记 staff of Lt. Gen. David Elazar, told a press conference that he had been in Syria.
ELAZAR REJECTED Syrian claims broadcast by Radio Damascus that the Israeli counterattacks had been thrown back, holding out in the Israeli-occupied territory.
"We are continuing our counterattack. We are moving from our territory against the other side. The next days will see the direction and results.
"We are moving wherever it is necessary to destroy the enemy." Elazar said.
At U.N. headquarters in New York, Ambassador Almed Emanat Abd Malegd of Egypt asked Secretary Kurt Wakile to send him a letter from the eastern bank of the Suez Canal to withdraw to Cairo because they were behind Egyptian lines, which put them in danger and made it difficult for the rebels to advance.
PRESIDENT NIXON said in Washington that he had exchanged personal messages with Soviet Communist party leader Leonid Brezhnev.
Breznev said in Moscow that Israel was the aggressor, and that Soviet sympathies were with the Arabs. A broadcast from Peking said Chinese Foreign Minister Chuang Jun-lung launched for its crimes of flagrantly launched large-scale military aggression.
Law School Will Be North of Field House
BY ERIC MEYER

The new University of Kansas School of Law building will be constructed in the N-zone parking area between Jayhawker and Ackman. The archicorner Archie R. Dykes said yesterday.
The exact construction site might be moved slightly because of geological conditions.
Concern over the rock structure stems from a drainage ditch near Allen Field House. The ditch caused problems in the site of the foundation, which is near the site of the new building.
Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols is coordinating a series of core samplings that will aid in evaluating the sub-surface rock structure at the proposed construction site.
Nichols said 35-foot concrete pilings were needed to support the fieldhouse.
"The rock structure here on campus is quite unusual," he said Friday. "You can go down only five feet and find solid rock in front of you. It can fall off to a layer of shale 5 feet down."
The Kansas Legislature this spring approved $40,000 for planning the 110,000-acre project.
Construction costs are estimated at between $4 and $5 million. Further legislative action will be necessary before the building can be constructed.
Dykes said that Lawrence Good, a Lawrence architect, had been retained as the firm's managing director.
The decision on the location of the new building came after a study of about ten other locations. Among the sites considered was Learned Hall, Field; southwest of Learned Hall; near the present University power plant; south of Jerome Street and at 13th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard.
Also considered was the demolition of the present School of Law building, Green Hall, and construction of the new building on the present site.
Martin Dickinson, dean of the School of Martin Dickinson, he was consulted last week about the request.
Nichols said that Dickinson's approval of the site, was the final step in the selection process.
The School of Law has about 500 students enrolled
Green Hall had been criticized because of safety hazards and lack of facilities.

the students know what he wants.
Going to the piano, he plays a few chords and then runs back to the podium in front of him.
"THERE IS AN immediate emotional contact with the students in the choir because of the music," says Ralston. "My son is a great teacher and anybody else, but I teach best this way."
His students seem to agree.
"He has a lot of feeling for the music, and a lot of insight about the material that we sing," says Jef Cornett. Overland Park Choir, "I really enjoy his member Chorner." I really enjoy his members.
Ralston came to the University of Kansas in 1950 as an undergraduate. After receiving a Bachelor's degree, he was choral director at Washington High School in Kansas City,
He returned to KU in 1962 as assistant choral director, and became director of choral activities in 1968. Ralston received his doctorate last year.
MALSTON SAID HE was pleased to have been chosen a semi-finalist for the HOPE 2013
"I must be doing something right," he says.
Ralston says he has stayed at KU mainly because of circumstance, but adds that he is doing well.
"I do think that it would be good for me to go somewhere else for a summer or a semester, because I don't never taught my kids," Ramirez said. "I'd probably want come back here."
Ralston says that the music and singing during practices or concerts are a very enjoyable experience.
"Sure, once in a while, I have a bad day," he said. "But usually I totally enjoy being around these kids, and trying to shape the behavior of people in this age group."
"JUST GIVE THE downbeat, and you've got 'em. And they've got you."
Ralston says he has formed a group of singers chosen from the Chamber Choir that will accompany Chancellor Arche R. Cohen to engage engagements to provide entertainment.
"I think that we have some of the best singers I've ever been in contact with," says Ralston. "Many schools cannot come close to the talent that we have."
"It's rare that everything goes perfectly, but it happens sometimes, and when it does, you know."
