TANKS AND ARTILLERY of King Hussein's army opened
fire on Palestinian guerrillas at four places in Jordan yesterday,
according to a guerrilla radio communique.
There was no report of fighting from Radio Amman, Jordan's
official broadcast outlet.
The guerrilla broadcast charged that the army had decided to
attack, just four days after a truce agreement was signed by Hussein
and guerrilla chief Yasir Arafat, after receiving fresh supplies of
arms from the United States and Britain.
OUTWARD CALM returned to the riot-scarred city of Reggio
Calabria, Italy yesterday after rebels took down their barricades,
shops opened, and rail service resumed.
The three-month old Reggio rebellion has centered on a plan to
move the Calabria region capital from Reggio to rival town Catanzaro.
Neo-fascists, disgruntled with the leftist lean of Italy's central
government, have been accused of instigating the rebellion.

DR. NOUREDDIN ATASSI has resigned as president and
premier of Syria in a fresh struggle for power within the ruling
Socialist Baath party, according to reports from Damascus yes-
terday.
Travelers from Damascus say Defense Minister Gen. Hafez Al-
Assad, of the air force, has rebelled against the party's Marxist civilian
command and placed three of its members under house arrest.

SENATOR PHILIP HART (D-Mich) said yesterday that the
various brands of regular gasoline are substantially "as alike as
aspirin tablets," despite advertising claims to the contrary.
j sThe senator, referred to a U.S. Senatessurvey ofn24tbrands of
regular gasoline, which cited evidence that big brand companies often
trade gasoline back and forth.
THE SLAYING of aging Iluk leader Pedro Taruc on Friday
marks the end of an era in Philippine rebellion, and may lead toI
a more youthful and radical movement, according to observers. {
Taruc, widely heralded as the "supreme" and titular head of the
old-line Marxist Huk rebels was shot to death in a house near Clark
U.S. Air Force Base.
The elusive communist-led insurgents, whose activities have re-'
cently increased, have been one of the most persistent problems of the1
administration of Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcus.

FLIGHTS HALT URGED:
Explosion wrecks giant plane

Cholera
strikes in
Istanbul
ISTANBUL, Turkey (N) - Is-
tanbul was under a virtual
state of siege yesterday as the
governors of two adjoining
provinces b a n n e d persons
from the cholera - stricken
city.
Up to 60 persons were reported
dead and more than 2,000 hos-
pitalized from the disease, which
broke out four days ago in slums
outside the city's walls. The of-
ficial death toll stands at 25.
The epidemic has spread to
lower-income s u b u r b s and to
neighboring towns.
Yesterday the governors of Lule-
burgaz and Tekirdag, provinces of
European Turkey adjoining Istan-
bul, issued decress banning the
arrival of travelers from Istanbul.
Buses were being turned back on
the main highways.
Travel between Istanbul, Tur-
key's largest city with a popula-
tion of 1/4 million, and the capital
of Ankara was still permitted, but
sources here said this also would
be prohibited soon.
In Istanbul the start of panic
could be seen in the, areas worst
affected. Signs in bright yellow
were affixed to infected houses,
which were placed under strict
quarantine.
Women in the streets pleaded
with nurses and medical aides for
inoculation of their children, and
Health Minister Vedat Ali Ozkan,
stepped in and personally admin-
istered injections.
One thousand inoculation teams
are working in the slum areas,
but some reports said vaccine was
running low, and new supplies
from abroad weredbeing sought.
At the American Hospital in
Istanbul, persons asking for in-
oculation against the disease were
turned pack with the explanation:
"We've run out of vaccine."
The Turkish state radio broad-
cast almost continuous warnings
yesterday against food or drink
which might be contaminated.
The disease resulting from such
food or drink causes deadly de-
hydration.
At the same time, the radio said
citizens should "remain calm and
not panic."

lowed by a fire that engulfed the
plane.
A Lockheed spokesman said a
preliminary investigation revealed
the explosion occurred immediate-
ly after the plane-one of 81 being
built for the Air Force-was de-
fueled and purged of fumes and
the mechanics were still beneath
a wing.
The C5 had flown over 700 hours
since the Air Force and Lockheed
began using it as a test plane in
June1968, the spokesman said.
"We feel that it was not a struc-
tural or design problem that caus-
ed the explosion," he added.
/He said he thought the explo-
sion would not slow the C5 con-
struction program, which has been
under fire from some members of
Congress as too expensive.
Proxmire, chairman of the Sen-
ate subcommittte on economy in
government, said in Washington:
"As a result of the destruction
of the C5 plane I call upon the
Air Force to ground all C5s until
the cause of the explosion is de-
termined. The responsibility for
the safety of the plane should be
taken out of the hands of the Air
Force. The planes should not fly
again until the FAA certifies to
the safety and airworthiness of
the C5s. The lives of those who
fly the plane must have first
priority."

BLETCHLEY, England RP) -
Students will rarely be seen and
seldom heard on Britain's new-
est university campus 50 miles
north of London.
This is the new Open Univer-
sity, once described as "one of
the bravest and most contro-
versial adventures in British ed-
ucation this century."
It will open in January with
25,000 students who will hear
their lectures on television or
radio, receive their assignments
by mail, do their studying at
home and take their final ex-
aminations at regional centers.
Those who complete their
GRAD

courses successfully will receive
Bachelor of Arts degrees and be
able to write B.A. after their
names in a country where letters
after your name are a distinct
social and financial asset.
Open University will have no
playing fields, glee clubs or de-
bating societies. There will be no
college dances or campus ro-
mances. Demonstrations and sit-
ins will be practically impossible
with students scattered about
the United Kingdom from Aber-
deen to Bournemouth.
The average age of the 25,000
enrolled students is 27 and the

The new university's adminis-
tration buildings are still being
built on 70 acres of green farm
land dotted with elm, cedar and
mulberry trees outside Bletchley.
Later, Bletchley and the univer-
sity will become a part of the
new town of Milton Keynes in
north Buckinghamshire.
The new institution was con-
ceived and designed during the
Labor government of former
Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
The newly installed Conserva-
tive government of Prime Min-
ister Edward Heath has given

the university its blessing.
No academic qualifications or
secondary school diplomas are
required for e n t r a n c e. The
school was planned for "drop-
outs" in a country where only
a quarter of the children remain
in school after age 16.
Britain, with two of the
world's most famous universities
in Oxford and Cambridge, has
only 46 universities for a pop-
ulation of 55 million persons.
There are only 220,000 univer-
sity students and another
250,000 studying in teachers' col-
leges or technical schools which
do not award degrees.
