for Barbara Jane Mackie to un

In a story published in the
Miami Herald Sunday, Miss
Mackie said she remembered
asking FBI agents who rescued
her, “How are my parents?’’

Arab Guerrillas Vow
Rain Os Revenge Raids
By WALTER LOGAN
United Press International
Arab guerrillas today vowed a
“rain” of revenge raids for
Israel’s commando strike at
Beirut airport. Fighting erupted
along Israeli-Arab frontiers and
Israel said one of its teen-age
girl soldiers was killed In one
guerrilla attack.
The Middle East fighting
flared as the United States and
the Soviet Union led internation
al condemnation of the airport
strike. Israel defended its
action, Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan hailing it as a “new
dimension in Israel’s deterrent
policy” against her Arab foes.
From Cairo, the Al Fatah
Arab guerrilla organization’s
radio announced the shelling of
an Israeli settlement Sunday
one of more than half a dozen
border incidents—marked “the
first of the rain” of retalitaory
attacks.
The radio “voice of the
storm” said a shelling of the
Israeli town of Beit Shean
caused heavy damage. In
Jerusalem, Israeli officials said
the Arabs fired four bazooka
shells but did no damage.
But, at Beersheba, Israeli
military ' spokesmen said the
teen-age girl soldier was killed
and a frontier settlement
attacked Just before midnight
Sunday by Arab guerrillas. The
guerrillas fired shells into the
settlement of Tsofar in the
Negev Desert below the Dead
Sea, the spokesman said. They
said a second Israeli youngster
suffered wounds in the attack.

ground next to a sign lettered
with the word “kidnaped.” She
said the man then took a pic
ture with the aid of a flash
bulb.
Next, she was marched past
a junk pile and ordered into the
box.
“The girl gave me a sweater.
They told me they’d be back
and check on me in two hours.”
But the last she heard from
them was the sound of their
feet packing the earth above
the box.
The spurt of border Incidents
came on the heels of the airport
raid.
The United States called
Saturday’s night destruction of
13 commercial airliners at the
airport “unjustified” and, de
spite a new agreement to
supply 50 F 4 Phantom jets to
Israel, pressed for Middle East
disarmament.
The Soviets, with her allies
condemning the United States
as being behind Israeli "aggres
sion,” called in U.N. Security
Council debate Sunday night for
sanctions against Israel. Russia
did not rule out military
punishment.
Jordan, Egypt, Algeria and
other Arab states proclaimed
support for Lebanon whose
government jointed Moscow in
calling for the punishment of
Israel. Arab commando groups,
whose strikes against Israeli
airliners led to the Israeli
reprisal raid, praised the raid
for making Lebanon a stronger
foe of the Jewish state they
want abolished.
Israel Alone
Only Israel spoke for Israel.
UPI correspondent Eliav Simon
in Jerusalem reported Dayan,
that nation’s military hero, told
his political followers Sunday
night that recent commando
raids into Egypt and Jordan as
well as Lebanon “Were intended
to bring the Arab states to
consider afresh whether their
guerrilla war was in the long
run worthwhile.”
Israel sent its ambassador
back from leave to the United
"It was cold and it leaked. It
kept dripping from above,” she
said. “I remember eating an
apple and some candy. That’s
all.”
Four days passed before the
daughter of millionaire land de
veloper Robert Mackie again
heard sounds from the outside
world.
It was about 4:30 p.m. Friday
and three hours after the FBI
office in Atlanta received a call
from a man who directed them
to search a wooded area near
Nations to defend its raid and to
demand the world body act on
the Arab terror attacks against
an El Al airliner in Athens last
week. No one suffered injury in
the Beirut raid: but one Israeli
was killed and one injured in
Athens where two terrorists
attacked the airliner with
submarine gun fire and two
hand grenades.
The diplomatic war over the
Beirut raid raged while further
violence struck the cease-fire
lines bounding Israel’s con
quests in the 1967 Middle East
war.
Along the Jordan River line
between Israeli and Jordanian
forces, three attacks were
reported Sunday. Jordan said
Israeli shells killed two civilians
and wounded nine more in a
Jordanian village.
Israeli said tier forces along
the cease-fire line on the river
twice answered Jordanian shell
ings which caused no casualties.
Israeli spokesmen also said an
explosion ripped a square in the
center of the city of Gaza,
seized from Egypt In the 1967
war. No injuries were reported.
In the Security Council
Sunday night, U.S. Ambassador
J. R. Wiggins said, “The Israeli
action is justified. In magni
tude it is entirely disproportion
ate in two ways: First, in the
degree of destruction involved
and, second and more fun
damental, in the difference
between the acts of two
individual terrorists and those
of a sizeable official military
force operating under govern-
Norcross, Ga.
Not knowing she’d been ran
somed for $500,000 and that her
abductors had directed agents
to search the general area, Bar
bara began rapping on the box
lid.
“I could hear the footsteps. I
thought it was the kidnapers
coming back for me. I had been
there so long I really didn’t
care.”
One of two agents, unable to
hear any sounds, kicked aside
layers of dead pine needles to
mental orders . . .”
Official reports in Beirut
today indicated just how for
minable was the strike of the
helicopter-borne Israeli terror
ists who in 15 minutes shooed
away passengers and plane
crews and blew up the cream of
Beirut-based Middle East air
line craft. Lebanese sources
said their defense forces only
reached the scene as the
Israelis were leaving.
