FROGS IN MALAYSIA of four different varieties and num-
bering over 3,000 fought a furious battle lasting more than six
hours, local newsmen reported Sunday.
The frog war took place in a swamp valley beside a Hindu
temple at a rubber estate near Sungai Siput, 100 miles north of Kuala
Lumpur, newsmen continued.
At first, only about 50 frogs were involved. But soon the num-
bers swelled, newsmen reported, and about 1,000 people assembled
to watch the frogs bite and tear at each other. Many were dead
at the end of the battle.
Maria Soosay, 30, who has lived for years near the area, said the
war is almost an annual event.
Other frog wars have been reported at various times in different,
parts of West Malaysia. No one has so far come forward with any
theory why such battles take place.
PHILIPPINE ELECTION VIOLENCE became evident yester-
day when two men were reported slain preceeding today's balloting
for 320 delegates to a constitutional convention.
, The Philippine News Service reported that a town councilor
and a relative of one of the candidates were shot to death in Ilocos Sur
Province, a region noted for its political turbulence. The town mayor
was also injured-in the incident, the news service added.
One of the major concerns of election officials is a number
of "private armies" they fear will be used to terrorize voters during
today's balloting.
JORDAN-PALESTINE PEACE AGREEMENT was implement-
ed on schedule in Amman and Orbid yesterday, the Arab truce
supervision force announced.
Col. Abdul Latif Abu Dahab, the second in command of the
force, said all troops in the two towns have been withdrawn. The
situation was calm throughout the country and no incidents have
been reported for the past three days, the colonel added.
Under the agreement, which ended the 11-day civil war inI
Jordan the army and the guerrillas were required to withdraw from
all Jordan towns by noon today.
AN IRANIAN AIRLINER was seized in stormy weather over
the Persian Gulf yesterday by nine men, six of whom are described
as criminals being expelled from an Arabian shiekdom.
Thirteen other persons aboard the plane - including two
guards and five crew members - were allowed to fly on to Iran, the
plane's original destination, three hours after his had landed in

The Supreme Court voted yesterday not to rule directly
on the Massachusetts legislative move declaring the Vietnam
war illegal.
State officials had asked the court to rule without the
controversial legislation being tested in lower courts first.
Six justices voted against the state and three justices
dissented. Only Justice William O. Douglas, one of the dis-

THE FAMED Civil War locomotive, "The General," will now go
to Kennesaw, Georgia rather than Chattanooga, Tennessee on
the basis of a Supreme Court decision yesterday. The dispute of
ownership my be the first that the court has settled with a loco-
motive as prize.
BOARD REPORT:
B1 tg pay rises asked
for rail road workerg

senters, set forth his views.
Massachusetts had argued that
without a declaration of war the
President has no authority to send
American troops into combat in
Southeast Asia.
The Nixon administration coun-
seled the court against granting
the state a hearing. Justice De-
partment officials said a judicial
inquiry into the legality of the
war would hamstring the Presi-
dent, insult Congress and em-
barrass the nation.
Voting against a hearing were
Chief Justice Warren E. Burger
and Justice Harry A. Blackmun,
both of whom were put on the
court by President Nixon and Jus-
tices Hugo L. Black, William J.
Brennan Jr., Byron R. White and
Thurgood Marshall, holdovers
from past administrations.
Dissenting with Douglas w e r e
Justices John M. Harlan and Pot-
ter Stewart.
Douglas, in a lengthy dissenting
opinion, rebutted point by point
the Justice Department's argu-
ment against hearing the case.

"The rationale in cases such as

kement cannot take life, liberty, or

to In the past the court has declin-
er ed every time to hear suits ques-

Court hears
arguments on
death penalty
WASHINGTON (P)-U.S. Soli-
citor General Erwin N. Griswold
advised the Supreme Court yes-
terday to leave to the people any
changes in the way the death pen-
alty is imposed in the United
States.
Speaking for the government at
a hearing, Griswold said changes
being urged on the court are not
required by the Constitution, are
impractical and could add to the
frequency of death sentences.
The former Harvard Law School
dean said he could understand a
desire to limit capital punishment.
But he said the court should be
guided by the separation-of-pow-
ers principle and leave the matter
of change to state legislatures.
"This is something that should
be done by the people," he said
toward the end of a solemn, three-
hour examination of two death-
penalty cases to which the fate of
more than 550 condemned men
and women is tied.
This was the third time the
court has heard pleas for stand-
ards to govern juries and for split-
ting off the sentencing phase from
the determination of guilt.
The court did not reach a? deci-
sion in the last two terms, leading
to speculation the justices are
closely divided.
Griswold stressed that only in
recent years have lawyers argued
that the Constitution requires jury
standards and bifurcated trials

WARDROBE FOR THE

NEW YORK (MP)-For the panhandlers of New
York City, the days of "Can you spare a dime for
a cup of coffee?" are long gone.
As in any modern American business, pan-
handling has come up with a new bag of gimmicks
to increase productivity.
A man, wearing a neat business suit and car-
rying a slick valise, comes up to you in the Port
Authority bus terminal near Times Square.
"Hey buddy," he says. "Help me out, huh?
Lost my wallet somewhere and haven't got enough
change to get home to New Jersey. Need 40 cents."
Another man, observed recently on a Man-
hattan street corner, has come up with a more
elaborate and probably more profitable version of
the same game. He held a fist-full of cash and

jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. A tall, thuin young man
wearing hippie-garb and long hair wandered
through the large crowd waiting outside Madison
Square Garden saying, "How 'bout some change
so I can see Miles. Gotta see Miles."
Begging is against the law. In New York it
is illegal for persons to loiter for the purpose of
begging or soliciting. The maximum penalty is
$250. Few beggars, however, are ever arrested.
Most citizens don't bother turning in complaints.
Down on the Bowery, an area of the city
famous for its derelicts, things are, in a sense,
more refreshing. At least there is little fakery.
A stranger walking past the darkened build-
ings of the Bowery one night was approached by
a panhandler who crept from the shadows of his

44% of welfare women
trained, want to work

WASHINGTON (R) - More
than one-third of women re-
ceiving welfare are trained for
and willing to work, a new fed-
eral study indicated yesterday.
But it found they are kept from
jobs by such things as ill health,
young children and inadequate
day-care arrangements.
Perry Levinson, a researcher
for the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, report-
ed an increase from 25.3 per
cent in 1961 to 44.5 per cent in
1968 of welfare mothers with
high employment potential be-
cause of -education or previous
job experience.
While four of every five of
these mothers would want a
steady job, 80 per cent could
not work because they had chil-
dren under age eight and lacked

d a y-c a r e facilities for the
youngsters, Levinson found.
Some 38 per cent of this high-
potential group also cited poor
general health, as an important
factor in their joblessness.
Nearly 40 per cent of the
women with high job potential
had four or more problems
blocking their wayrto full em-
ployment, Levinson found.
In addition to young children
and illness, these included need
to care for someone at home,
lack of confidence, feeling of
powerlessness, and mistrust of
others.
Eppley also found that the
proportion of welfare families
without fathers at home in-
,creased from two-thirds to
three-fourths.

"'JOE' is not merely an extraordinary film; it is a
small artistic miracle. Only rarely in the turmoil of
human events does a work of such brutal directness
to the core truths of the conditions of life that no
matter what one's beliefs, there is no denying its
validity. 'JOE' is approached for sheer impact and
importance only by 'Z,''PATHS OF GLORY,' and the
final scenes of 'EASY RIDER.' No one conceiving
this film, a year ago, could have known how loudly
it would speak today. It is a one-in-a-million."
