. .......... Israeli plane downed by Syrian gunners as war UN holds session on fourth world nations 0 rages n By AP and Renter Syrian forces yesterday claim- ed they shot down an Israeli warplane for the first time since the October war as heavy fight- ing raged in the Mount Hermon area. The Israeli'plane, said to be a phantom, was reported to have crashed in Southern Lebanon aft- er being hit by a rocket. Tank and artillery duels raged from dawn to dusk along the length of the 40-mile Golan case-fire line for the 28th con- secutive day. No casualties were reported although Israel's mili- tary command announced the first capture of a Syrian soldier since the October war. SYRIA SAID the Israeli. F4 Phantom was brought down over I GolanI Mt. Hermon by its air defense system, apparently meaning a missile. But Israel denied this, saying the plane burst into flames because of "a technical hitch." Lebanon said the plane crash- ed in the Arkoub region near the village of Chebba, only six miles north of the Israeli border and about 40 miles south of Beirut. A Lebaneese spokesman said the two pilots were safe and said they were picked up about three miles west of Chebba. He did not say where they were being held.{ Israel admitted using war- planes for the first time since the October war on Saturday. It said air strikes were ordered af- ter the Syrians attacked an Is- raeli position on 9,000-foot Mt. leights Hermon, on the northern tip of the heights. THE AIR ACTIVITY and fur- ther artillery and tank gun clashes on the Golan Heights front came as a government spokesperson in Damascus an- nounced that a seven-member military and civilian delegation would leave today for Washing- ton. They will have talks there with Secretary of State Henry Kis- singer on efforts for the dis- engagement of troops on the Go- lan Heights. Informed sources in Beirut said the mission of the Syrian delega- tion, led by military intelligence chief Brig. Hikmat Al-Shihabi, would be confined to seeking from Kissinger the Israeli view- point on the question of disen- gagement. ISRAELI Defense Minister Mo- she Dayan conveyed the Israeli stand to Kissinger during a re- cent visit to Washington. According to the same sources, the Syrian delegation would be empowered to make "observa- tions and proposals" during its Washington vist, which might not last more than four days. The sources said they expect Kissinger to visit the Middle East region again later this month to resume his efforts to bring about a separation of forces on the Go- lan Heights after learning the Is- raeli and Syrian views. Similar efforts undertaken by Kissinger in earlier trips to the Middle East have failed to pro- duce a disengagement of forces similar to the one he arranged between Israeli and Egyptian troops on the Suez Canal front. But it was agreed to follow up the issue in Washington. IN JERUSALEM, Premier Gol- da Meir spent the day consult- ing with her Labor party on whe- ther to get rid of Defense Minis- tertMoshe Dayan, whosecde- parture from the cabinet could bring down the government. But she was unable to pull her bickering party together, post- poned a key meeting of the party leadership set for last night, and left the crisis unresolved. The crisis focused on the re- port of a government-appointed commission investigating Israel's lack of preparations for the Oc- tober war. The commission blam- ed the chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Da- vid Elazar, and his intelligence director - who both resigned - but cleared Dayan's name. HOWEVER, MANY members of Dayan's own Labor party, in- cluding cabinet ministers such as Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, called for Dayan to share the blame and quit. Dayan's support- ers argued that if he accepted responsibility, the entire cabinet should shoulder it too. Dayan disclosed in a newspap- er interview Monday that he of- fered to resign last week, but said Meir wanted the party ex- ecutive to decide the issue.

The session, costing about $300,000 and expected to last three weeks, will seek guidelines for coping with energy shortages and price explosions that are re- jiggering world economies. Most drastically affected are the poor countries in Asia, Africa and La- tin America. Economists have labeled this group the Fourth World to dis- tinguish them from Third World countries which are developing but which are also rich or poten- tially rich in raw materials. The t w o industrially developed "worlds" are usually referred to simply as East and West. UNITED STATES Ambassador John Scali, in an essembly pre- view, told reporters the price in- creases in oil alone had added $12 billion annually to expenses of developing countries. Noting that the United States has poured billions into foreign economic aid, Scali said "we would welcome all of the assist- ance that is available for this goal, particularly from any na- tion which finds that it has ex- cess funds available now." Oil exporting countries decided to create a special fund to help developing countries,. but did not agree on its size. A BRITISH DIPLOMAT said the Soviet bloc nations in the past have "hidden behind the rather flimsy argument that aid is the responsibility of the rich Western countries. That doesn't hold water any longer They'll have to get involved and they'l have to say where they stand." President Houari Boumedienne of Algeria, who promoted the special session, is among four heads of state and dozens of for- eign ministers - including Rus- sia's Andrei A. Gromyko - who will address the meeting. AP Photo PRESIDENT NIXON signs the new minimum wage bill which will eventually boost the minimum wage to $2.30 an hour.

WORSE THAN WW II: Scintit computes murder rate odds CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (M) - A baby born this year in one of America's 50 largest cities has almost a two per cent chance of being murdered in his lifetime, according to a mathematically based study released yesterday. Dr. Arnold Barnett, an instructor in applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) told a seminar his study shows that a baby born in 1974 is more likely to be murdered than an American soldier in World War II was to die in combat. Barnett said statistics based on the current murder rate also show that a male baby born in one of the 50 cities has a three per cent chance of being murdered. In World War II, according to Defense De- partment statistics, less than two per cent of the more than 16 mil- lion Americans who served were killed in battle. However, the murder statistics are figured over a lifetime while a soldier's time in battle is very .limited and many soldiers never get into combat. BARNETT SAID traditional homicide statistics compiled by the FBI, which showed about 20,000 murders last year, are "misleading and unsatisfactory" in predicting the risk of murder because they don't relate the deaths to the growing crime rate. Barnett uses a model projecting homicide rates into the future. Using that applied to the current homicide rates, he found that one of 79 persons born in Boston this year could be murdered; one in 67 in New York; one in 60 in Chicago; one in 82 in Los Angeles; one in 40 in Washington; in in 35 in Detroit and one in 51 in Miami. Barnett, who projected four different rates with the aid of Daniel Kleitman and Richard Larson of MIT, said the model based' on cur- rent crime rates is optimistic. BARNETT STRESSED that his forecasts are based on the as- sumptions the public attitude toward homicide will remain the same, and that homicide rates will not go down. Barnett said he also found that homicide rates have increased about the same in allr SOcities. Such a finding conflicts with theories that growing murder rates in a city can be explained largely by local factors of no particular significance elsewhere. Finally, the study found that factors such as a shifting racial population or .decline of the core city, which often are believed to cause a crime rate to increase, actually accounted for only about 10 per cents of the rise. WASHINGTON (R) - President Nixon yesterday signed a bill that will bring the minimum wage to $2.30 an hour for mil- lions of American workers by Jan. 1, 1978. Nixon signed the bill in his oval office, telling Labor Secretary Peter Brennan, who was seated alongside, that "we wouldn't have it without you." In a White House statement, Nixon said, "Although I have some reservations about portions of this legislation, its basic pur- pose - to increase the minimum wage for working men and wo- men of this country - deserves the support of all Americans." When fully effective, the new law will cover 56 million workers. NIXON VETOED a similar minimum wage bill last year. N i x a ,n objected to the 1973 minimum wage bill as being inflationary and because it did not include a youth differential permitting a lower rate for teen- agers. The 1974 bill, approved by Con- gress last month, contains only minor changes from the one Nix- on vetoed. It does not contain a youth dif- ferential , but it does liberalize the present law slightly dn em- ployment of students, permitting them to work part-time - not more than 20 hours a week - at 85 per cent of their regular wage floor. THE LATEST BILL would bring domestics under the wage and hour law for the first time and repeals overtime pay ex- emptions now in effect in several industries. It also tightens present law on child labor on farms and ex- tends the scope of the law aimed at discrimination against elderly persons. For 36 million workers covered under the 1966 minimum wage law, the schedule calls for an in- crease to $2 by May 1, $2.10 by Jan. 1, 1975, and $2.30 by Jan. 1, 1976. FOR SOME 19 million workers, mostly retail and service em- ployes covered under the new bill the schedule calls for $1.90 on May 1; $2 on Jan. 1, 1975; $2.20aon Jan. 1, 1976; and $2.30 by Jan. 1, 1977. For 750,000 farm workers, who now have a wage floor of $1.30 an hour, the minimum wage would go to $1.60 on May 1; $1.80 on Jan. 1, 1975; $2 on Jan. 1, 1976; $2.20 on Jan. 1, 1977 and $2.30 on Jan. 1, 1978. The new bill extends coverage under the minimum wage law to five million federal, state and local employes; one million do- mestics; 600,000 additional retail store employes; 120,000 addition- al services industry workers; and 25,000 additional farm workers. IN A WRITTEN statement dis- tributed by the White House, Nix- on said the new wage schedule fits his criteria for "reasonable increases . . . phased in so that the very people such increases are intended to help do not find themselves suddenly priced out of the job market. But he added, the legislation "on the whole ... contains more good than bad and I have con- cluded that the best interests of American people will be served by signing it into law." sC BOWL FOR 50c a game UNION LANES Open 11 a.m. - SPRING SKIING in the beautiful CANADIAN ROCKIES APRIL 30-MAY 12 $388 includes: " Helicopter skiing " 10 days of lift tickets " All food, travel, lodging " World's Fair BANFF-Canada's beauty spot. wHISTLER-Canada's greatest ski spot.
