Saturday, May 25, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Mideast peasants learn to cope with constant attacks Page Five By ALEX EFTY Associated Press Writer GOLAN HEIGHTS, Syria (P)- As Israeli shells continue to ex- plode in the countryside around him for the 74th consecutive day yesterday, a Syrian peasant shrugged and said, "Well, if we manage to survive, at this rate we'll all soon get rich as scrap metal merchants." It's a wry joke. But it is also true that as you walk down the dusty unpaved streets of the scattered villages in this area you are as likely to stumble on a piece of shrapnel as on a stone. MANY HOUSES are complete- ly destroyed. Most others have shell holes of varying dimen- sions punched in their flat earth roofs or black volcanic rock walls. The village streets and t h e country lanes are bumpy with hastily filled-in craters. Every day, the villagers say, fresh violence pours down upon them from the Israeli guns and planes. THE LANDSCAPE is con- stantly punctuated with the black and brown clouds from Scientist admits he cheated on research NEW YORK (A') - A scientist been given a one-year medical at the world-famous Memorial leave of absense, a terminal Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center leave, at full salary, about $40,- has admitted faking basic r e - 000. search results, a peer review Summerlin could not be reach- committee said yesterday. dfrcmetHiatony "It is an indisputable fact that ed for comment.

[am Summerlin - a physician and immunology researcher - who admitted that early on the morning of March 26 he used a pen to darken patches on the skin of two white mice, the committee said. S By doing this, Summerlin made it appear that he had been able to successfully transplant skin between animals that v'tre genetically incompatible by first storing the skin in a common laboratory culture solution, the committee indicated. Such results would have great potential in research into can- cer and immunology. Scientists said the approach does eemn to affect skin but requires further inquiry. SUMMERLIN had told a sem- inar of the American Cancer Society on March 30, 1973, that the technique of storing tissue in culture for several weeks could make it posible to trans- plant organ.s without using dan- gerous immunity-suppressing drugs. The review committee recom- mended, and the institute's board of trustees agreed, t h a t Summerlin's association w i t h the institute "be terminated."

The thud of the guns and the crunch of explosions echoes in the hills near the towering mass of snow-streaked Mt. Hermon becoming part o fthe local way of life. As many as 30 separate ex- plosions were heard in 90-min- ute periods yesterday morning in the vicinity of the village of Deir el Addes, 30 miles from Damascus. "THAT'S nothing unusual," said the village headman Muta- bed Saade. The explosions came from behind a small hillock about a mile from the village which Saade said was occupied by the Israelis in the October war. "Don't walk together in groups for if the Israelis see you they will open fire on us," he warned a group of eight jour- nalists. The streets exposed to any would-be observer on the hilltop were deserted though 20 to 30 villagers gathered in the village square, cut off from enemy view.
