Cruiser SAIGON A 76mm howitzer shell fired by Communists in the Demilitarized Zone slammed into the 7th Fleet cruiser Providence Thursday, the U.

S. Command said Friday. There were no casualties and damage to the ship was slight, it reported. After receiving what the U. S.

Command described a direct hit, the cruiser lashed out with her big guns and silenced the North Vietnamese artillery battery, located about 12 miles northeast of Glo Linh. i Tfiiimir mr 1 I ,1 '4 si 13: Vv'ircr Al SAIGON (L'PD North Vietnamese forces launched a mortar and rocket attack against American Marines, just south of the demilitarized zone between the two Virt-nams Thursday, Four Americans were reported killed and 17 wounded in the border attacks, the scene of bitter fighing last week after U.

In the seven days ending last Saturday, 337 Americans were killed, 2282 wounded and 31 are missing. ISN'T THERE SOME WAY you can do something about "Marburg Lake?"

There is an odor to it and the taxpayers around here are getting pretty disgusted. Can you reopen that case for us and do something? MRS. M. Oak View Place. City Council, in 1962, went as far as it could, offering to pay 75 of the cost of a storm sewer through Cincinnati Country Club property.

However, taxpayers affected wouldn't hold still for the 25 assessment and the project was shelved. J. R. Krusling, city engineer, says there is money in the capital improvement program for this and if property owners want the storm sewer enough to pay the 25 cost, the improvement plan can be reactivated.

Other Stories, Tage 5 are my own and are not shaped by persons Inside or outside of the city government." Wichman added "that Mr. McClain Is the legal officer of the city. He makes his own opinions." The public hearing on the validation suit would allow taxpayers in Hamilton County to appear in court to present evidence that the finance plan is illegal. The suit seeks to validate the county's issuance of $42,250,000 revenue bonds. Under an agreement with the city, Cincinnati would lease the stadium from the county and pay rent at least equal to annual payments on the bonds.

Mr. McClain said in his opinion, which was written by Isabel Guy, deputy city solicitor, that the language In the petition was so broad that it would preclude the city and its Recreation Commission from even operating sandlot baseball diamonds. The opinion also contended that it would Illegally cause the city to Invalidate existing legal contracts. Neither Council nor the people can pass legislation setting aside legal contracts, the opinion said. By UP International An Egyptian spokesman reported Thursday that Arab and Israeli soldiers had clashed along the Gaza Strip border in the first skirmish of the week-long Middle East crisis.

Israel denied the report, but said a series of terrorist dynamite charges exploded along its border with Jordan. The reports of frontier violence came as Thant, United Nations secretary-general, flew back to New York a day early from a Cairo mission that apparently failed to find a peaceful solution to the Arab-Israel controversy that has brought the Middle East to the edge fo war. The United States ordered dependents of U. S. officials to leave both Israel and the United Arab Republic.

Britain also announced It was evacuating Israel Inquires WASHINGTON (UPI) Abba Eban, Israeli foreign minister, arrived Thursday for talks with President Johnson and other high officials to find out "what the United States intends to do" about fulfilling its commitments to keep the Gulf of Aqaba open as an international waterway. Eban described the blockade as an act of aggression against Israel and added: "If this violation is not promptly repaired, the principles of international law will fall into discredit." Two more legal steps necessary for construction of Cincinnati's riverfront stadium were taken Thursday. Common Pleas Judge William R. Matthews set June 23 as the date for the initial public hearing on the stadium validation suit. The suit was filed by the Hamilton County Commissioners to validate the plan to finance the new stadium.

Meanwhile, City Solicitor William A. McClain released an opinion which said that an initiative petition to block the stadium is illegal. But Walter A. Kelley, president of the group circulating the petition, said McClain's opinion was nothing more than an answer which was ordered given by City Manager William Wich-man. McClain answered, "The opinions of the city solicitor sion!" MY SON IS IN VIETNAM.

According to Lou Evans, Ohio State Employment Service, returning Vietnam vets can get $42 a week for 26 weeks; $5 a week more if married; $3 a week for each dependent child. I SAT IN TRAFFIC COURT and watched Judge Lovelace set fines, etc. He gave a speech on school zones and yet it seemed to me the fines were quite a bit less than in other cases. How are fines set? M. Thirty-Third Street.

Judge William N. Lovelace says several factors are considered in imposing penalties for speeding. Some are: "Amount of speed above the legal limit, in the particular zone; condition of the weather; traffic heavy, light or medium; past record of the defendant. I think you will find that, on examination of the record, penalties are greater in school zones, taking into consideration the facts suggested above," Judge Lovelace said.

SOUNDING OFF "The pat answer that disrespect for law and order among our children had increased 'because we took God out of the public does not hold water. Schools are still teaching respect for law, even without prayer. It is the parents and the home environment that make the difference.

Teachers and school systems can provide religious and moral attitudes for the students, but impressions made and values learned at home are the ones with which most children grow up and live. It is still the responsibility of the family to instill in their children respect for the law and love of God." SARA S. FREDERICKSON. can Marines has left the buffer zone after the allied sweep uncovered arms and ammunition dumps. Ten thousand civilians were moved from the zone, leaving it open to bombing and attack if used by the North Vietnamese.

The previous casualty record was 274 killed In the week of May 6 when Marines fought for control of three peaks near Khe-sanh In the northwest corner of South Vietnam. The number of wounded that week, 2783, was also a record.

House Approves Draft Extension New York Times Service WASHINGTON The House passed a bill Thursday night extending the draft for four years but restricting President Johnson's authority to draft college undergraduates and to set up a selective service lottery. The vote was 362 to 9. Earlier the House rejected, 160 to 77, a proposal to limit the extension to two years. Provisions to limit the President's power to revise procedures under the Selective Service Law, which expires June 30, included deferment of students satisfactorily pursuing full-time college undergraduate courses until they reached the age of 24, unless the President "finds that the needs of the armed forces require substantial restriction or termination" of such deferments. The measure now goes to the Senate which passed similar legislation May 11 that essentially extended the law for four years when it expires June 30 and left the President with the wide discretionary powers he now enjoys.

-A? Wirephoto have had an equally strong interest in the chances of bringing peace to Vietnam, an interest that has led to considerable pressure upon the Prime Minister to use his influence with Washington to attempt to bring about negotiations. In addition, the two leaders reported that they had also taken up several bilateral problems but they did not specify which ones. The President presumably outlined for the Canadian leader his view that if the United Nations cannot quickly becalm the Middle East that the United States favored some strong move by major maritime nations, including Britain and Canada to arrange for open passage through the Gulf of Aqaba, which they regard as an international waterway and whose closing Israel has threatened to contest by force. Pearson, however, said "no decisions" were reached at the meeting, presumably because neither the chances of Security Council action or the possibilities of a four-power conference are felt to have been exhausted. Although the timing of the President's quick trip north was tied to the observance of United states Day at Expo 67, White House officials throughout the journey went to some length to emphasize Mr.

Johnson's greater interest in discussing diplomatic issues with Pearson, and particular the Middle East. What's The Name? Have you a name for the new Cincinnati team in the American Football League?

Be sure to use a postcard. mmmmmmmmmxmmmmmmmmmmmism New York Times Service OTTAWA President Johnson paid a quick visit to Canada to see the gay dome of the United States at Expo 67 and to discuss the Middle East and Vietnam with Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson over lunch. It was a "brain picking session," officials said of the meeting of the two leaders. The officials indicated that the crisis in the Middle East was discussed in terms of possible next moves in case the United Nations cannot quickly reduce tensions.

The discussion of Vietnam appeared to have been an exchange in which Pearson represented widespread Canadian interest in another bombing pause while Johnson presumably restated his strong doubts that it could lead toward peace. The hurriedly arranged journey to Montreal and Ottawa was Johnson's third visit to Canada. He came, he said, because of his "very high regard" for Pearson and especially because of his intimate knowledge and experience in Middle Eastern affairs.

Details, Map on Page 9 "1 GRINNELL, Iowa ttf Student editors of the 1966 Grinnell College yearbook decided to produce something different. They did. What emerged after months of effort was a photo-essay of undergraduate life featuring marijuana parties and sex.

There was no class picture. Also missing were the conventional shots of the year's athletic heroes. Co-editors Henry Wilhelm, 24, of Arlington, and John Phillips. 21, of Algona, Iowa, spent so much time on the yearbook they both flunked out of GrinnelL Among other things, they took more than 15,000 pictures. Wilhelm mailed the manuscript and selected photos last month long after the normal publication date to a printing company in Hannibal, Mo.

The printers took a quick look, shuddered and mailed it right back to Grinnell. They told the college they would publish only if they received a hard and fast release from any legal responsibility. The book, suggested the printers, was a "major departure from what is normally found in a college yearbook." Grinnell's attorney, John F. Bierman, read the layout and was appalled. He said he counted at least 30 instances of libel.

And that's all he'd say on that subject. Glen Leggett, president of the college, returned the material to Wilhelm. The co-editor locked it In a safe deposit box until he could decide what to do next. Last Friday the staff of the Grinnell student newspaper resigned in protest against what it described as "censorship" and "an admission by the administration that it doesnt have the ability to deal with vigorous, controversial publications." There, for the moment, matters stand. "We wanted the book to be different we wanted to give a really candid view of the college," said Wilhelm.

Illustrations included pictures of a marijuana party, a male and a female student leaving a motel together, and a co-educational beer blast. "There weren't any obscene pictures," said Wilhelm.
