and armored cars opened fire on the town of Der's, just across the
border from Jordan, but that the attack was driven hack with the
loss of four Jordanian tanks and no Syrian casualties.

ating from Syria.
A FEDERAL COURT ORDEK to integrate Pontiac's public
schools with a massive busing plan was signed Wednesday by U.S.
District Judge Damon Keith.
Under the plan, shout one-third of the school system's 23,000 stu-
dents will be bused to schools outside their neighborhoods when school
opens next month, costing some $719,000 to put into effect, according

the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam yesterday,
only six days after the last majior U.S. ground unit pulled out of
the region,

THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH said yesterday that several
high-ranking executives of International Telephone & Telegraph
Corp. sold ITT stork shortly before the government imposed an
antitrust settlement on the company that sharply lowered the
value of the stock.
The company denied as "baseless and without foundation" the
newspaper's report that the executives "were able to avoid per-
sonal losses of about $50,500 by selling their holdings to buyers who
were unaware that the Department of Justice was about to force
ITT to get rid of $1 billion in assets."

New York exchange forbid corporate executives from buying or
selling stock on the basis of information not known generally by the
public.

Challenging the Nixon admin-
istration to back up the Presi-
dent's stand against school bus-
ing, Gov. George Wallace or-
dered the transfer yesterday of
a white pupil who has been as-
signed to a predominantly black
school 22 miles from her home.
Wallace's action came one
day after he sent a telegram
to President Nixon calling on
him in back up his antibusing
statements by asking the federal
courts to change their recent
rulings and make busing unlaw-
ful when used tn achieve inte-
gration.
The governor promised also to
"take some action," in pre-
vent a predominantly bla ck
school at Hobson City from be-
ing Integrated with a predom-
inantly white school at Oxford

The governor said the plan
will destroy Hobson City's
school band and its football
team. Re said black officials in
that community and w h i e

announcements, perhaps Friday,

how many or where they are.
At a hurriedly summoned news
conference, the governor made
public a letter to the Jeffer-
son County - Birmingham -
School Board and Snpt. J. Re-
via Ball ordering the reassign-
ment of a high school pupil,
Pamela Davis, in a school near-
er her home-.
Wednesday, the President's
press secretary, Ronald Ziegler,
said Nixon already had instruct-
ed federal authorities in seek
integration without busing
wherever possible. Ziegler said
those who disregard the Presi-
dent's policies may 10 5 e their
jobs.
Meanwhile, Nixon's announce-
ment last week that he want-
ed none of the $1.5 billion in
proposed emergency desegrega-
tion funds for the coming school
yea edn be spet on busingr has
lem for some Southern s c h o 01l'
district facing court orders to
bus large numbers of pupils
this fall.
Some of the school districts
say that, despite the cutoff, they
will ask the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
for emergency school desegre-
gation funds to buy the neces-
sary buses.
And BEW says there is a pos-
sibility that some of the most
hard-pressed districts will b a
able tn get a small amount of
money for busing under a fund-
tug arrangement unaffected by
Nixon's order.
Others have decided to pay
for the buses themselves an d
seek emergency desegregation
fuds for other programs which
they might otherwise under-
write with booal dollars.
Still others are reluctantly
considering an increase In
school taxes in pay for the bus-
Some say they have no Idea
where they'll get the money.
