Other guards fought hand-to-hand battles with the convicts, who were hurling torches and homemade spears at the officers.
Eight extra doctors were rushed to the prison hospital at dawn, after guards on roofs and walls unleashed the deadly crossfire. Authorities said some of the wounded convicts were in serious condition.
Israel and Jordan exchanged gunfire across the Jordan River Tuesday night, a Jordanian military spokesman said today.
Israel, Jordan exchange gunfire
The Jordanian announcement from Amman, Jordan, said an Israeli patrol tried to cross the river into Jordanian-held territory north of the Sheikh Hussein bridge, 40 miles north of the Allenby bridge.
The spokesman said no Jordanians were injured but Israeli helicopters landed on the Israeli-held side, presumably to pick up wounded.
Memphis garbage strike ends
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(UPI)—The city's 1,200 garbage collectors voted to return to their jobs today, ending a 10-week strike that brought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to Memphis and his death by an assassin's hand.
A "memorandum of agreement," hammered out by negotiators for the city and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes, AFL-CIO, was approved by both the striking workers and city council within hours Tuesday.
The pact, covering a period of 14 months, provided a form of recognition for local Union 1733 as representative of laborers, truck drivers and crew chiefs in the sanitation department.
It also yielded a form of dues checkoff with the employes' credit union authorized to deduct the monthly payment from the workers' paychecks.
Berlin students plot new action
BERLIN—(UPI)—The nation's radical leftwing students plotted fresh action in revolutionary council meetings today in their anti-government and anti-press campaign that has triggered violence in 11 cities and which brought its first death today.
In Munich, news photographer Klaus Frings, 32, of the Associated Press died of injuries suffered when a cobblestone hurled in a Monday student-police battle struck his head.
Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger mapped plans to meet the threat of more violence that many observers predicted would erupt on the streets tonight after a 24-hour lull.
South Vietnam seeks conference
South Vietnam today sought a summit conference of her war allies to work out a common policy on peace negotiations with the Communists. Hanoi again rejected U.S. proposals of sites for preliminary talks.
In London, diplomatic sources said the North Vietnamese leaders were debating over how far they should go toward a negotiated settlement and were undecided on their strategy.
