Israeli bombs fell Tuesday on the Syrian capital and reports from the scene say the diplomatic quarter was hit, killing many foreign civilians. At the Russian cultural center as many as 30 Soviet employes, their wives and children were said to have been killed. In protest of the bombing, Soviet delegates to the United Nations walked out of Tuesday's Security Council meeting. Soviet representative Yakov Malik told the Security Council that Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan shared personal blame for the Damascus raid. "The Israeli authorities are enraged because they suffer defeat on the military front. Their bloody act is similar to the acts of Hitler, when entire cities and villages were removed from the earth," Malik said.

I decided to run a year ago, Beswick, 32, told the DTH Tuesday. "Anytime I wanted to get anything done, I couldn't find a way. Beswick joins Ben Grantham and incumbents John Boone and Braxton Foushec in the race for three seats to be filled in the Nov. 6 election. Beswick said he planned to focus on the transportation issue in his campaign. He was originally against the proposed Carrboro bus system voted down last May. "Now I'm definitely pro-busing, Beswick said. "Since the University changed their parking system and Chapel Hill proposed the bus system, I think Carrboro has to go along." A Rhode Island native, Beswick has lived in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area for the past eight years. He received a medical discharge from the Army in 1964 as a result of wounds received while he was a Green Beret in Vietnam. Beswick managed the Foreign Car Center in Carrboro before he entered UNC. where he graduated w ith honors in 1972. He plans to practice law in the area after he completes his degree. Beswick said he would appreciate anybody's vote, but, since he is a student, he feels he can sympathize with student problems. "I think 1 can provide them with a forum," he said. Beswick made it clear that he is not running in response to Student Body President Ford Runge's urge that students get involved in town government. "I made my decision to run a long time ago," he said. "But I do think it's important that I'm a student because there are a lot of students in Carrboro." " "X, . V V v !

Security Council meeting after the Israeli diplomat finished speaking. In other developments in the Middle East war, Israeli admitted Tuesday it has lost the East bank of the Suez canal to Egypt the Bar Lev Line, long regarded as the nation's first line of defense against Egyptian troops. General Avaron Yariv said in Tel Aviv that Egypt now has 400 tanks on the Sinai Peninsula and is able to reinforce and resupply them despite damaging Israeli air strikes. The Bar-Lev Line was Israel's defense system of blockhouses and dugouts facing Egypt across the 102 mile Suez canal. Fighting along the line the past few days has been described as "very bitter and bloody. Yariv said Tuesday the Israel troops had evacuated most of The line. It was the first major concession by either side in the fighting since it broke out early Saturday.

Israel says they are being turned back. Syria says Israeli air strikes were being foiled by Arab jets and anti aircraft batteries. Jets from the Jewish state also struck in the Camro area, and for the first time in the new Middle East war, inside Lebanon. The objective in Lebanon was described as a radar station serving the Syrian air force. Citizens in Israel were told by their government Tuesday to expect some hard going in the coming days. Israeli radio announced the war so far had cost the country about S850 million. Israeli general Yariv said the Jewish state faces a tough and perhaps long struggle to recapture lost territory because of the Egyptian tanks on the peninsula. The commander said it is difficult to say how long the war will last. "It will not be a short one." wiCl !Htk: v.iuj) t f 1 i V iltd ... U 1 J i I i i i. . ... w n 9' m ' tec " . "v. LI , .

The ordinance proposed by dog warden Gus Shoffncr will not be voted on until next week after Town Attorney Emery Denny can straighten out some inconsistencies and clarify the wording of the law.

The campaign recommended turning down thermostats and installing weather stripping and insulation in homes. President Nixon met with his energy adviser. John A. Love, along with Interior Secretary Rogers C.B. Morton, Commerce o Secretary Frederick Dent and other government specialists to coordinate a educational campaign. "The outlook for this winter's fuel situation is tight," Love said in a statement submitted to the House Small Business Committee. "But that will be true not only of this winter, but over the next few years. The effort, through various booklets and pamphlets, urges Americans to lower their home thermostats by four degrees this winter, a tactic which the White House said would save more than 400.000 barrels of oil per day enough to heat 2 million homes.

Mayor Howard Lee opened the floor for comments from the citizens even though no public hearing, was scheduled.

"The defecation on my lawn is unbelievable." he said. "This isn't living, this is torture. It's literally made a wreck of me." One mother exchanging tales with those around her said she had had two cats "torn apart" by dogs. Another said the areas where her child could play in the yard were determined by the areas roaming dogs like to visit. Those who wereagainsuhc leash law were given equal time to present their opinions. One citizen said that a leash law was inconsistent with Chapel Hill's image as a village. He added a leash law was an urban solution to a surburban problem. Other argued that the proposed S25 fine for owners w ho let dogs run loose is excessive. Other dog loers said that dogs would be vicious if they were not allowed to run loose. Some said that a leash wasn't required to keep a dog under control. The majority of the board agreed that material restraint wasn't necessary and agreed to change the proposed ordinance so that only control by the ow ner was required. Other changes suggested by the alderman were to make the penalty for a first offense a SI5 fine and subsequent offenses aS25fine.

The meeting, called by Avery President Mike O'Neal, was attended by about 40 Avery residents and Russell Perry, assistant director of housing for operations. Perry came to the meeting to explain a decision he made to terminate residents' use of the L room. The conflict occurred over the use of the L room which this year became headquarters for campus housekeeping operations. Offices of the campus housekeeping administration responsible for custodial work in all residence halls and married student housing areas and four other supervisors adjoin the L room. Some housekeeping equipment is also stored in the L room. Avery officers, early this fall, asked Perry for permission to share the L room with the housekeeping officials, using the facility on weekday nights and weekends when the housekeeping office was closed. The L room is the largest facility in the Avery dorm and holds between 120-150 persons. Permission was granted and Avery has since used the room for various social events, including a talent show and a visit by UNC football coach Bill Dooley. Last Wednesday Avery received word from Perry that use of the L room by Avery residents would be terminated Monday. The decision had been made due to incidents reportedly occurring between Avery residents and housekeeping officials. Perry said he had been told of interruptions by Avery residents during meetings held by the housekeeping officials in the L room. He spoke of two such incidents. Perry said his people had also reported use of the housekeeping phone by other people besides themselves. Avery officers were unaware of any unofficial use of the housekeeping phone and knew of only one incident between residents and the housingkeeping people. O'Neal said the incident involved the storing of beer in the L room. He said some dorm residents wanted to remove the beer while a housekeeping mectinc was in progress. O'Neal, however, stated that the dorm residents waited to remove the beer until the meeting was over. He could not see why the housekeeping people were distrubed over the incident. Due to the reported friction. Perry said Avery residents would lose their use of the L room. At the meeting. Avery residents asked Perry where they were expected to hold social events since their use of the L room had been ended. Perry did not have an answer to the question but assured the residents that some future solution would be worked out as soon as possible. "Perry mentioned the possibility of moving the housekeeping officials to another.area. but Perry said he had to comply w ith the wishes of his people. "They have rights, too." he said. A meeting between O'Neal and Dr. James Condie, director of housing, is scheduled for Wednesday to further discuss the conflict. Condie could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
