Israel Completes Work in Lake Huleh Area; Tension Subsides TEL AVIV (JTA)—Work on the last drainage channel in the area south of Lake Huleh was ended and water f r o m flooded marshland in the area is again being diverted into the main channel of Lake Hu- leh. Tension subsided in the area for the first time in several weeks. Syrian farmers and shepherds were seen at work on the opposite slope of the valley. At least one Israeli died and a number were wounded as result of Syrian attempts to interfere with the canal dig- ging. Syrian casualties are un- known in the two-day tank and artillery duel last week. The work was accomplished by heavy excavators and ar- mored bulldozers brought to the marsh site after- both par- ties had agreed to accept a United Nations survey, which changed the original course of the ditch by as much as three to 15 feet along a 250-foot length of the canal. The old ditch was immediately filled in. OBITUARIES SAMUEL KROHNER, of Chi- cago, died April 9.
