Syria to stop the “invasion”
lest it lead to a wider war.
in Syria, Damascus Radio
again denied it invaded Jordan
and a Syrian Foreign ministry
spokesman demanded the with
drawal of the U.S. 6th Fleet
from the Eastern Mediter
ranean.
“The Syrian government de
nies this allegation (the inva
sion of Jordan) and considers it
a prelude to American interven
tion in the area, particularly
since the United States has
moved its 6th Fleet near the
area and issued statements
about possible intervention,”
the spokesman said.
Commandos in Control
The Baghdad-based Palesti
nian guerrilla radio said the
commandos were in control of
North Jordan and were using
Irbid, Jordan’s second largest
city 10 miles south of Syria as
their headquarters. The radio
said the Jordanian 40th ar
mored brigade had retreated.
The sources said so far as
Israel was aware the guerrillas
did not possess armor and if
the tanks and their crews which
captured Irbid bore guerrilla
markings they were Syrian
regular forces in disguise.
Damascus Radio said Maj.
El-Khweldi el-Hamidi, a mem
ber of Libya’s ruling Revolu
tionary Council delivered a
message from Libyan Premier
Col. Mohammed el-Khadafy to
Syrian President Noureddin al-
Attasi on the Jordanian situa
tion today and both went into
an immediate conference.
Libya warned Sunday it
would take “unilateral” steps to
help the guerrillas if the
fighting in Jordan did not cease
within 24 hours.
A pooled dispatch by Western
correspondents in Amman sent
via diplomatic channels said
Sunday “King Hussein ap
peared to be winning the battle
of Amman but the fedayeen
(guerrillas) after a terrific
pounding are holding out in
pockets in the hope of the
Syrians coming.”
Raises Fear of Epidemics
Marcel Boissard, a top Red
Cross representative believed to
be the first responsible official
to return from Amman, flew to
Beirut Sunday night and raised
the fear of epidemics in the
Jordanian capital. “There is no
water and no electricity,” be
said. “There were wounded in
the streets, both civilian and
army. There was much da
mage.”
Boissard added that “while
no disease exists now, there is
obviously a danger of an
epidemic if these shortages
continue.”
The semiofficial Cairo news
paper Al Ahram which reflects
the Egyptian government’s
opinion, accused Iraq of de
liberately torpedoing a pro
posed cease-fire between the
Jordanian troops and the
guerrillas. It said Arafat was
willing to accept the truce, but
Iraq gave a guerrilla radio
station in Baghdad false
information to the effect the
guerrilla leadership would con
tinue fighting.

Sinatra denies
making threats
By VERNON SCOTT

PALM SPRINGS, Calif.
(UPI) —Frank Sinatra, re
sponding to charges he threa
tened a Las Vegas casino
operator with vengeance by
“die mob,” said today, “I don’t
make threats and I’m not
running for re-election.”
The singer has maintained
silence since the altercation at
Caesars Palace Casino Sept. 6
in which Manager Sandford
Waterman pulled a gun on him.
In an interview with United
Press International, Sinatra
said, “As for the remarks
attributed to me relative to the
mob, they’re strictly out of a
comic strip.”

Soviet instrument
makes soft landing
By DAVID NAGY
MOSCOW (UPI) -The Soviet
Union’s latest moon probe,
Luna 16, made a successful soft
landing on the moon Sunday
and transmitted “excellent”
test pictures from the Sea of
Fertility.
The Soviets did not announce
the details of Luna 16’s tasks,
but a report from the West
German space observatory at
Bochum said the craft trans
mitted “excellent” test pictures
upon landing.
The soft-landing at 8:18 a.m.
Sunday marked a Soviet
comeback from the failure of
Luna 15, which Western space
experts said crashed on the
moon in July, 1969, while racing
Neil A. Armstrong’s Apollo 11
mission to the surface.
Luna 16 also was the first
Soviet spacecraft to touch down
in the lunar landscape since
Luna 13 in December, 1966.
The official Tass news agency
said Luna’s earth controllers
coaxed the craft down gently
by remote control of its braking
engines, which set the silver
sputnik down in stages like a
jack in reverse.
The agency pinpointed its
landing spot in selenographic
coordinates as 0 degrees 41
minutes south latitude and 56
degrees 18 minutes east longti
tude, “in the area of the Sea of
Fertility.”
“Luna 16 has started making
studies of the moon’s surface,”
it said.
There was no indication
whether the craft would at
tempt to scoop samples of
moonsoil and blast off again for
earth. Space sources in Moscow
declined to venture a predic
tion.
That was the speculation
during the Luna 15 mission,
helped along by hints to that
effect by Soviet space experts.
At that time, such a feat would
have stolen a small slice of the
glory achieved by Apollo 11,
and a return to earth still
would be a first for an

is winner
in France
BORDEAUX, France (UPI)
—Premier Jacques Chaban-
Delmas won re-election to the
national assembly Sunday by
handily defeating the stiffest
reform opponent to challenge
the guallists in years, Jean-
Jacques Servan-Schreiber.
Servan-Schreiber said he
would resign Tuesday as
general secretary of his radical
Socialist party, the organization
of non-Communist leftists he
has welded to bring reform to
France’s social and political
life.
Chaban-Delmas, 55, reaf
firmed his popularity and that
of his union of the defense of
the Republic party, the ruling
Gaullist party, by capturing
63.5 per cent of the vote.
Servan-Schreiber, 46, a hand

tallied 16.5 per cent of the vote.
Eight others also were in the
running.
Victorious for the eighth time
since 1946, Chaban-Delmas got
14,904 votes out of 23,828 ballots
cast while Servan-Schreiber got
3,881 votes.
Servan-Schreiber said before
the election he expected Cha
ban-Delmas to win and wanted
only 30 per cent of the vote to
illustrate a reform movement
was under way in France that
was rejecting the Gaullist. He
promised to resign from his
party if he did not get 30 per
cent.

Coronary Heart Disease
Has No Regard for Age
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
Coronary heart disease,
primarily a disease of per
sons who are over 40, is be
ing seen with increasing fre
quency in the 5-to-17-year
age group. The predisposing
' factors in these children are
(1) high blood pressure (over
142 systolic, when the heart
contracts, or over 82 dias
tolic, when the heart re
laxes), (2) a blood choles
terol level over 220 and (3)
body weight 30 per cent
above the average for the
child’s height.
The most effective way to
reverse this trend is to
lower the fat content of the
family’s diet and increase
the amount of exercise the
child takes daily.

whether the enlargement is
just fat. Surgery may be ad

not in the second.

strep throats, our pediatri

and gives them all a shot of
penicillin, even if they have
no fever. Doesn’t too much
penicillin make the germs
resistant to the drug?
A—ls your doctor is sure
the infection is due to a
streptococcus each time, he
is wise to treat all members
of the family with the anti
biotic. The drug should be
taken for at least 10 days to
insure the eradication of the
germs. The building up of a
resistance by the germ is
the result of inadequate
treatment.

chickenpox but our pediatri

that it was. She has been ex
posed to the disease since
then but has never gotten it.
Could she be immune?
A—Chickenpox is very con
tagious and very few persons
reach age 15 without having
an attack. If your daughter
has been exposed and has
not taken the disease, that is
pretty good evidence of im
munity but, like your pedia
