KIRYAT SHMONEH, Israel,
(Reuter) - Anguished relatives
of 16 persons' killed in a guer-
rilla attack on this northern Is-
raeli town yesterday hurled clods,
of earth at the nation's minister
of police and shouted curses at
him.
Troops and police had to push
their way through angry crowds
at the funeral of the 16 victims
to rescue Police Minister Shlomo
Hillel and Opposition leader
Menahem Begin.
AS HILLEL PROMISED
the crowd that the deaths would
not go unrevenged, clods of earth
were hurled at , him and angry
relatives started shouting and
screaming.
The relatives were protesting
about inadequate security pre-
cautions which, they said, led_
to the killing Thursday of 18
persons - most of them women
and children - and the wounding
of 16 in the four-hour gun and
grenade battle in the town.
THE GUERRILLAS . them-
selves died when an explosion -
touched off 'by Israeli fire -
ripped through the room in which
they made their final stand on
the fourth floor of an apartment
house.
Some 10,000 people yesterday
converged on the cemetery not
far from the Lebanese border
where, according to Israeli au-
thorities, the three guerrillas
crossed into the country early
Thursday.
ANGER WAS CLEARLY build-
ing up in this town of 15,000 in-
habitants - mainly immigrants
from North African and some
recent arrivals from the Soviet
Union - early yesterday.
Many of the victims were Jews
of North African origin.
A small prayer meeting in a
room mat the local district coun-
cil building two hours before the
ceremony was disturbed by
wailing and angry shouts from
grieving relatives.

Goren intoned the words "We
cry out," a distraught man
screamed: "We have, but they
don't listen to us. Only when
someone has been killed."
Another shouted: "Let's deal
with the guerrillas who sit in
the jails here in the same way
as they deal with us, instead of
letting them study for the Uni-
versity."
The grieved were calmed by
friends and some police officers.
Rabbi Goren seemed close to
tears as he pleaded: "We must
not move."
OUTSIDE THE council build-
ing another small group of de-
monstrators g a t h e r e d, pro-
testing against allowing Arabs
and Druze from the nearby oc-
cupied Golan Heights into the
town, suggesting they were a
security risk.
They eventually marched to
the cemetery behind banners
saying: "The (Arab) market is
a terrorist nest. Wipe it out,"
We ask for a hospital here," and
"Dayan why don't you live here"
which was directed at the de-
fense minister who supervised
Thursday's anti-guerrilla opera-
tion.
TWO OF THE victims, includ-
ing a soldier from Israel's small
Circassian Moslem community,
were buried in their home vil-
lage.
The 16 residents of Kiryat
Shmoneh, half of them children
aged between two-and-a-half and
19, were laid to rest side-by-side
in the cemetery here.
The plain box-wood caskets,
draped in the national blue and
white flag, were borne to the
cemetery on army trucks. Four
of the victims were from one
family - a 30-year-old mother
and three children aged four to
11.
WOMEN SOLDIERS carrying
wreaths led the procession as po-
lice and soldiers carried the
coffins to the gravesides through
a jostling throng. Some wailing
mourners tore at themselves
with their fingernails in Oriental
fashion until the blood ran as a
sign of grief.
The crowd quieted as the cof-
fins were lowered into the ground
and prayers were recited includ-
ing the mourners' Kaddish pray-
er which ends: Bring peace on
us and on all Israel in our time."
THEY REMAINED fairly si-
lent, except for the wails and
sobs of the bereaved, until Hil-
lel, representing the government
began to talk of blood not going
unavenged.
Then the disruptions began.
Neither loud speaker calls to re-
spect the holy place nor the
cantor's intoning of the solemn
/prayer "El Maleh Rahamin"
(God full of mercy) could calm
the milling, shouting crowd.
SOME PEOPLE scooped up
earth and threw it at the minis-
ter.
Police and troops linked arms
to form a protective cordon
around Hillel and Begin and
pushed a way out for them
through the crowd as loudspeak-
ers announced that .the cere-
mony was at an end.
Most of the crowd then began
to leave in orderly fashion but
some called out to Begin to take
their complaints to the Knesset
(Parliament).
THE MINISTER said later he
believed that security in the area
should be stepped up.
The three guerrillas, members
of the Ahmad Jibril splinter
group of the popular front for
the liberation of Palestine (PF-
LP) general command, evaded
a border patrol after slipping
into Israel Thursday and holed
up first in an empty school on
the outskirts of the town.

HAGGERTY RD. near 7 Mile, LIVONIA
MmUSKET
BANGKOK, (Reuter) - The
banner of women's liberation has
been raised for the first time
in Thailand - where male pri-
vilege is regarded almost as a
natural law.
A group of single women in
February formed themselves in-
to the country's first "Women's
Liberation Front," determined
to secure equal social and legal
rights with men. -
ALTHOUGH THE group so far
has only 20 members, it is a
unique phenomenon in Thailand's
male - dominated society where
by law wives must get their
husband's permission even if
they want to change jobs.
The group, mainly made of
students, has emerged at a time
when the national assembly is
debating a draft constitution de-
signed to return the country to
democratic rules.
THE DRAFT makes several
radical changes in the way the
country should be governed but
upholds the greater rights of
men contained in the civil code.
These include laws that a man
can divorce his wife for adul-
tery but the wife cannot, and
that a wife cannot -enter into a
contract involving the common
property of a marriage without
her husband's consent, even
though she may own the proper-.
ty.
The divorce law in particular
has drawn bitter criticism over
the years from the Women Law-
yers Association of Thailand.
WHILE THAI husbands keep
mistresses, their wives must sit
at home and are not in a posi-
tion to take any legal action
against their husband's behav-
ior even though they may be
openly keeping several mis-
tresses," Khunying Singholaka,
the association's president, says.
In an effort to influence the
constitutional debate, the new
women's liberation group chose
the National Assembly as the
target for their first public pro-
test demonstration.
The 20 women, all under 25,
waved placards outside the As-
sembly building and distributed
leaflets declaring that Thai wo-

men had for years been treated
as disabled people.
"Time has proved that women
have the same abilities as men
and they no longer want to be
only the hind legs of the ele-
phant," their leader, Veena
Simtrakrew, told reporters cov-
ering the demonstration.
A WEEK LATER, the group's
cause was raised in the Assem-
bly by some of the 16 women
members of the 299 - member
body.
Discussing a constitutional
clause on family rights, Deputy
Justice Minister Sompob Hot-
rakit defended husband's rights
to determine the jobs their wives
had.
"For example," Sompob said,
"If a wife wants to become a
massage girl, or prostitute, the
husbands may feel it degrading
and family life could be; affect-
ed."
A WOMAN MEMBER quickly
retorted that the issue was the
other way around.- "If husbands
become pimps how would wives
feel about it? Legally they can't
stop their husbands from that
occupation either," she declared.
The Assembly is to "consider
the issue again at a later stage
in the debate, but the liberation-
ists apparently have already
lost the battle before it' started.
Only one woman, a journalist,
was on the 18 member cemrmit-
tee appointed to draw iup the
draft constitution following the
overthrow of the former Thai
military regime last October.

against food hoarding
ADDIS ABABA (Reuter) - Army units were reported last
night to have taken over the town of Jijiga in Eastern Ethiopia,
near the Somali. border, arresting senior officers and a number
of leading merchants.
An ex-army officer who arrived in Addis Ababa .from Jijiga
yesterday said units of the 3rd Division's Inechanized brigade de--
tained.several leading merchants ;accused of hoarding food and
selling it at exorbitant prices. Jijiga is some 300 miles east of
Addis Ababa.
THE SOLDIERS were reported to have called on the au-
thorities to take swift action against grain hoarders.and profiteers
and tospeed up the courts of justice.
In a further development in the unrest at present hitting
the country, the Ethiopian television last night.read out a-.demand
from the police force in Harar province for the immediate re-
moval of police commissioner Yilma Sibeshi.
The Harar police force demanded the commissioner's re-
moval three days ago and sent a telegram to Emperor Haile
Selassie complaining that their demand had not been acknowledg-
ed.
UNOFFICIAL REPORTS in Addis Ababa said the commis-
sioner had either resigned or been requested to do so. by the
emperor.
Addis Ababa's two-week strike of garbage collectors and
street cleaners ended yesterday.
They went back to their much-needed work after the
government announced the dismissal of. the city's Lord Mayor,
Haile Giorgis Uorkineh.
ABOUT 10 THOUSAND people marched through' the 'city
yesterday, demanding his removal on grounds of maladministra-

Health authorities said the strike ended none too soon. The
city's streets are strewn with huge piles of stinking garbage
which could bring epidemics if neglected much longer.
The street cleaners and garbage men -, known here as "as-
tronauts" because of their bright yellow overalls - promised.,to
work over the Easter holiday to, clean up.
But employes at the Customs and the Finance Ministry were
still on strike. Customs officers at the airport were closed and
their work was taken over by police.
