Israel Hits Lebanese Base

TEL AVIV - An Israeli armored column supported by jets made at 14 hour attack into Lebanon on Tuesday in an effort to snuff out Arab guerrilla bases. 
At the end of the dawn-to-dusk incursion, the Israeli military command said the operation had " proceeded according to plan."
The armored forces which spearheaded the drive across the border on the wooded western slopes of Mt. Harmon was preparing to leave, the spokesman said Tuesday night. The attack was the biggest ever strike into Lebanese territory. 
Israel began Tuesday night to pull back its tanks and troops under cover of a heavy artillery barrage and air 


U.N. Demands Withdrawal
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y - The U.N. Security Council in an unanimous vote Tuesday demanded " the immediate withdrawal of all Israeli armed forces from Lebanese territory."
All 15 council members raised their hands in favor of a Spanish resolution that took effect less than 24 hours after the council had met urgently by request of Lebanon and Israel and debated an Israeli attack on southern Lebanon. 
After this stopgap action, the council adjourned for further debate later on the Lebanese complaint that Israel had hit southern Lebanon early Tuesday with infantry and armored units, artillery and planes, and the Iraeli countercomplaint that numerous guerrilla attacks on Israel from Lebanese territory had provoked that strike. 

support,  a Palestinian guerrilla comminique in Beirut said. 
Al Fatah, the guerrilla group, claimed the withdrawal was being harried at every point by hundreds of guerrillas throughout Lebanon.
The Lebanese army announced that six soldiers were killed and 15 wounded in the fighting. Two of its tanks were destroyed and four disabled, a communique said. 
Contradicting assertions by Syria and Iraq that their armed forces earlier had joined in the battle on the side of the Lebanese army and guerrillas, the Israeli spokesman said there was no heavy fighting whatsoever. Israeli casualties were seven soldiers wounded, he added. 
The Israelis said their jet fighters shot down three Syrian MIG17s in dogfights over the battle zone, where the borders of Israel, Syria and Lebanon come together in southern Lebanon. 
The spokesman scoffed at reports from Arab capitals claiming heavy engagements and mass participation of Lebanese army troops as well as substantial support from Syria and Iraq.
But occupied Golan Heights and Israeli settlements south of the Sea of Galilee were shielded from Syria and Jordan during the Lebanese attack. 
At the United Nations in New York, the Secretary Council demanded the immediate withdrawal of all Israeli forces from Lebanon. 
The Israeli raid followed repeated warnings against continuing guerrilla attacks on Israeli border settlements. 
Both Syria and Iraq claimed to have joined in the fighting during the day. Artillery shells, believed to be Iraqi, rained down on several Kibuttizim south of the Sea of Galilee along the Jordan border, causing some structural damage. The inhabitants took to shelter. 
The Syrian MIGVs downed by Israeli warplanes brought to 23 the number of Syrian aircraft destroyed since the 1967 Middle East war. In all Israel claims a toll of 114 Arab planes during this period..
Syrian artillery and tanks fired at Israeli positions and settlements in the occupied Golan Heights for nearly three hours, but were silenced by Israeli warplanes, correspondents in thee area reported. 

Senate Confirms Blackmun 
WASHINGTON - The Senate, which rejected President Nixon's first two choices to fill a year-old vacancy on the Supreme Court, unanimously confirmed Tuesday his nomination of Judge Harry A. Blackmun of Rochester, Minn. 
There was little debate before the 94-0 vote, but Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S-C., and other Southern senators said that the Senate was applying a different standard of judicial ethics than it did in rejecting Judge Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. 
Haynsworth, whose home is in Greenville, S.C., was first of two Southern judges nominated by Nixon for the post both of whom were denies Senate confirmation. The other was G. Harrold Carswell of Tallahassee, Fla. 
" Apparently if a judge is from South Carolina a higher standard of ethics is required than if a judge is from Minnesota," said Hollings.
No one rose to dispute him, but senators who fought Haynsworth's nomination contended that,  unlike Blackmun, he failed to take steps to avoid an appearance of conflicts-of-interest.
Blackmun, a long-time friend of Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, had been a judge on the 8th U.S. Court of Appeals since 1959. He is a summa cum laude graduate of Harvard, and a former lawyer for the Mayo Clinic. 
Blackman took the news in typically low-keyed fashion. 
" I'm just not up to making any verbal statement" said the 61-year-old jurist, as he leaned against a lobby wall in the building containing his office, dressed in a wool sweater on an overcast chilly day. 
He was the first Supreme Court nominee to be approved without a dissenting vote since 1962, when both Arthur J. Goldberg and Bryan R. White were confirmed by voice vote. 
In Rochester, Blackmun's secretary said he would be sworn in at the convenience of the court. A spokesman for the court said the time would be announced later. 

ISU Governor's Day Dropped
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An ROTC Governor's Day review scheduled Saturday at Iowa State University was canceled Tuesday in the wake of the arrest of 15 anti-war demonstrators in Ames earlier in the day. 
Col. Robert Barnett, chairman of the Tri-Service Review Committee which was planning the activities, said the ceremonies were canceled because of possible violent confrontations between police, cadets and anti-war and anti-ROTC demonstrators. 
A similar ceremony which had been scheduled last Saturday at the University of Iowa was also canceled after several days of demonstrations by students protesting the war and demanding an end to ROTC programs on the Iowa City campus. 
Col. Barnett announced the decision to cancel the ISU Governor's Day activities with regret. 
" The holding of this ceremony under existing circumstances could have been harmful to both the university and officer education program," Barnett said, adding " We did not wish to run the risk of physical violence which might have resulted."
ISU President W. Robert Parks said he concurred reluctantly with the decision. Parks said he found it " particularly regrettable inasmuch as ISU has experienced no violence or threat in the form of bodily harm."
The 15 anti-war demonstrators were arrested by Ames police after they attempted to prevent a bus carrying 41 draftees to Des Moines for pre-induction physicals from leaving the draft board office.
