This was considered, inevitable during Israel's eleven years ol existence, during which the neighboring Arab states main tained a state ot hostility and openly declared their reliance on a fifth column inside Israel in the event of open war. During this period the major- ity of Israeli Arabs endeavored to prove their loyalty to Israel and from time lo lime they have received substantial ameliora tions in the conditions of military government.

And without a moment to spare. It started last Friday when the office received a stamped letter with no address, containing a check for Moo and a letter signed only "Ken." v Studying the letter for a clue as to the sender's identity, postal employes found it was from an American man, writing to a Ger man girl to confirm wedding plans. An appeal went out through newspapers for "Ken" to identify himself. Kenneth Edmislon, 27, came forward Friday to claim the check and explain the blank envelope: "I had a small envelope, ad dressed right.

Hiland, who operates an auto matic record player agency, charged Dunsmuir customers will have no way to check long dis tance phone call bills and that repair service will be slow. Hi land said he had lost, four days' business because his mechanical phone answering device wasn't re paired promptly during the trans fer of telephone headquarters to Vreka. 1 Floyd Dill, Siskiyou County man ager for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, argued the telephone services had been moved to Yreka because centralization will afford better service. Dill said the tele phone service staff will remain in Dunsmuir and dispatching will be done in Yreka. Service will be available to business and others dependent on phones for health, safety and income. Hiland withdrew his protests aft er listening to Dill's reassurances. The council decided to prepare plans for $20,000 work or renova lion and remodeling of the city hall and will consider bank financ ing of the project. E. A.

This includes a new medical cen ter for Dr J. W. Reynolds and Dr. H. A. Meredith, costing $30,000, and a three bedroom residence for Richard Brunjes at $11,000. A permit to build a new side walk moved Councilman George Wendell to comment things were reaching a point where a man couldn't hammer a nail without a permit. The council agreed but in the absence of any specific objection to the building code, no action was taken. The council decided to study ap plications of out-of-city residents to determine if sewer service can be extended to them for a connection fee and use tax.

These developments came to light in the wake of Thursday's launch-pad destruction of what was to have been America's new est satellite, the 91'i-pound Ex plorer VI. When Explorer IV was launched at Cape Canaveral, Fla., last July 26, scientists estimated it would remain in orbit about a year. A space agency official said that judging from the satellite's be havior at the time its radio broad casting unit went silent last fall. Explorer IV s life span is about up. "It should go down at Ihe end of July, but we could be in error as much as a month," the official said. "There will be no way ot know ing unless the satellite should be sighted during its last couple of passes." Sputnik III, the only Soviet satel lite still circling the earth, given a life expectancy of IS months at the time of its launch ing May 15, 1958. That would have meant an end to its flight perhaps this month. However, optical tracking of the' 2,900-pound space cone, and con tinued signals from its solar-battery powered radio, have added some four months to the initial estimates.
