APY* "Tsv- sfzi r The Rate Leader Is Back! Franklin Terrorists Enter Gaza With Yassir Arafat Jerusalem (JTA) — One day af- ter Palestine Liberation Organi- zation Chairman Yassir Arafat returned to take up official resi- dence in the Gaza Strip, a furor erupted between the PLO and Is- rael over the entry of four PLO officials with records of terrorist acts against Israeli civilians. The four were among 13 PLO officials who accompanied Mr. Arafat to Gaza when he arrived to begin taking charge of day-to- day-responsibilities for running Palestinian affairs in the newly autonomous areas of Gaza and Jericho. When Israeli security forces discovered their presence, Israel ousi — helped plan the murder- ous 1974 attack on a school in the Galilee development town of Ma'alot in which 21 Israeli teen- agers were killed. An Israeli sol- dier and three Palestinian - terrorists were also killed in the raid on the northern Israeli town. Mr. Nofal and Mr. Jayou,si lat- er left Gaza as did Mustafa Liftawi, also known as Abu Fi- ras, who was among the planners of the massacre at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich in which 11 Israeli athletes were killed.

AP/GADI CABALLO - Have You Heard? by Felix Cruz Hearing Aid Specialist EARLIER DETECTION OF HEARING LOSS Because only those newborns who are thought to be at risk for hearing loss are typ- ically screened for hearing problems, only half of hearing losses are detected at birth. The average age at which severe to profound deaf- ness is diagnosed is two and a half years, while milder cases of hearing loss may go unde- tected until a child reaches the age of five or six. Because a six-month-old baby already begins to grasp the meaning of language, it is critical that hearing losses be detected as ear- ly as possible. Even a mild loss can prove to be detrimental to a child's learning. Studies show that a child with a hearing loss in just one ear is ten times more likely to repeat a grade than a child with normal hearing. In general, the sooner a hearing problem is detected, the less likely a child is to suffer social and academic problems as a result. To- day's hearing tests are quick and painless.

Israel also moved to close the border cross- ings separating Gaza from Egypt and the West Bank from Jordan. The fourth Palestinian was be- ing sought by the Palestinian po- lice in Gaza, and Israeli officials said the borders would remain closed until he left Gaza. Speaking to Israel Radio, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said he took "a most serious view" of the attempt made by "someone close to Arafat" to smuggle in men whose entry Israel had long firmly opposed. Israeli and Palestinian securi- ty men huddled together for hours to resolve what initially looked like a major crisis of con- fidence. Under the terms of the May 4 Cairo accords for implementing self-rule in Gaza and Jericho, Is- rael may veto the entry of Pales- tinians it deems undesirable. The four, who are among those on Israel's blacklists, have con- sistently been refused entry by Israel. Two of those smuggled in — Mamdouh Nofal and Nihad Jay- men out of Gaza into Egyptian territory. Dr. Tibi later said he would wait at Gaza's Palestine Hotel— Mr. Arafat's new beachfront headquarters — for the fourth man. Jihad Amarneh, the fourth man smuggled into Gaza, is said to have left Mr. Arafat's Al Fatah wing of the PLO and has appar- ently joined the militant Islam- ic Jihad movement. A number of Palestinian lead- ers — including Yasser Abed Rabbo, the newly named minis- ter of information in the Pales- tinian governing council — were not permitted entry into the self- rule zones during the border clos- ings. The crisis with the PLO offi- cials came just a few days after Mr. Rabin had ordered a tempo- rary closing of all Gaza crossings into Israel.
