That old Syrian saying is getting a new reading with the building of a giant dam across the river. It is designed to banish the danger of floods and tc bring new land into cultivation.

(AP) Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger Sunday turned down Norfolk's plea for a stay of a massive busing order in the city's 15-year-old desegregation case. Burger made no comment on the case in denying the Norfolk School Board's plea for an injunction that would have allowed the city schools to open under the terms of last year's desegregation plan. The action by the chief justice reinstated an order by a U. S.
District Court judge that will require the daily transporation of 24,000 school children this fall. School board chairman Vincent J. Thomas, on hearing of the decision, said school officials would probably meet Monday to discuss the situation. Schools had been scheduled to open Tuesday, but Thomas had previously said they would not open that day no matter what Burger decided. School Supt.
E. L. Lamberth said it would take at least eight working days for the schools to prepare to open. That would indicate that the earliest time the schools could begin would be Sept. 16.
Thomas said the schools will open as soon as possible and that "we'll just have to provide transportation the best way we can." First word of Burger's action came Sunday through NAACP lawyer Henry L. Marsh III, who said a Supreme Court clerk telephoned him at home to tell of the chief justice's decision. Burger's decision dealt only with Norfolk's plea for an injunction staying the busing plan. School officials indicated it would have no effect on any consideration the city may be T.T. Hammack Still Improving T.T.
Hammack, general supervisor for the Bristol Virginia School Board, remained in serious condition Sunday night in Bristol Memorial Hospital. A hospital spokesman said he was "improving slowly" although he remains in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Hammack was admitted to the hospital Aug. 18 after suffering giving to an appeal of the order. U.S.
District Court Judge John A. MacKenzie, who ordered the busing plan in July, agreed late last month to let the city return to the previous year's mixing plan, which called for busing of more than 11,000 children. MacKenzie's decision came after the Virginia Transit the city's privately owned bus company, and the school board had argued that the bus firm could not handle the additional students without a fare increase. The fare increase, scheduled to go into effect the first of this month, was precluded by President Nixon's wage-price freeze.

(UPI Telephoto) No Hint Of Trouble Cause Of Plane Crash Fatal To 111 Unknown JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) The pilot of a jetliner radioed he was beginning his landing approach and gave no indication of trouble just minutes before the plane slammed into a barren mountainside killing all 111 persons aboard, officials said Sunday. In Ozark Mountains The Alaska Airlines 727 careened into the sheer rock face at the level of the Chilkoot Mountains 20 miles west of Juneau Municipal Airport. Reports from the crash scene said the plane smashed into bits on impact, with pieces scattered Woman Slays Four At Family Reunion FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
(UPI) -A woman, apparently cast out of an Ozark mountain family, burst into a family reunion "dressed like she was going to a party" Saturday and methodically shot down relative after relative, a University of Arkansas coed said Sunday. Kris Anderson, 20, was one of five persons to escape unharmed from the family reunion at the isolated farm of Mr. and Mrs. George Basore. Miss Anderson was the date of Chris Basore, who was critically wounded in the shooting.
He is the son of Mrs. Elinore Basore. Four family members were killed. Mrs. Basore, 45, of El Paso, then walked around and around the house, calling for other relatives to come out.
When no one came out, she sat on the porch step, put automatic pistol barrel in her mouth and shot herself to death. The Basore family gathered for the reunion near the Mount Olive community in the mountains of northwestern Arkansas, about 28 miles east of Fayetteville. Miss Anderson said she was sitting on the front porch of the farmhouse with Chris, the son, when the woman drove up. I thought well I guess I'll get to meet her," said the brownhaired green eyed coed. "Chris' grandmother went out to meet her.
She just walked up with a gun and shot her. Chris yelled 'Mother' and walked over to his grandmother and she shot him. It just didn't look real," said Miss Anderson. "I thought I'd better just sit down and be quiet. She walked past me and went into the house and I heard a few shots.
"She was very calm, cool and collected and dressed up in very nice clothes. She was dressed up like she was going to a party or Miss Anderson said she heard other shots and walked into the house. "People were yelling 'Oh, my God' and I figured out this was for real. I left and went around to the side of the house. I found Chris' aunt, Mrs.
Obie Harmon, and she was getting a little bit hysterical." Miss Anderson said that she and the other woman found a "kind of a cellar and hid in there for about 15 or 20 The two women could hear in Elinore Basore walking around. "She was yelling for the over a wide area, some perhaps at the bottom of a steep gorge. It was the worst accident involving one plane in U.S. aviation history. Orville Gano, chief of the Federal Aviation Administration's flight standards office at Juneau, said Capt.
Richard Adams was told by air traffic control in Anchorage, which was controling the plane at the time, to leave his holding pattern at 12,000 feet and begin his approach to Juneau. Adams replied that he was beginning his approach, Gano said, and then switched to Juneau control tower frequency on instructions from Anchorage. He told the tower he was on his approach and was on the localizer directional signal guiding him to the Juneau airport, Gano said. Radio contact was lost with the plane and the wreckage was found later scattered over the steep rock wall of the mountain in the rugged Alaska Panhandle. "'He was right on course precisely, Bob Dodd, an Alaska Airlines vice president, said of the pilot.
Adams, 41, of Redmond, a 16-year veteran with airline, was in command of the trijet plane. "It's obvious he ran into the ground," Dodd said. "He was too low for some reason or another. Whether it was some malfunction of the aircraft or pilot error, we just don't Officials said it was raining from a low overcast at Juneau airport at the time of the crash.

Police said Freeman, arrested numerous times previously on minor charges, may have believed his wife had run off with Mrs. Bentley's husband, Charles. Bentley left his wife in February and Mrs. Freeman and the couple's two children had left her husband in June. The guns used in the shooting were purchased by Freeman Friday at a downtown pawnshop, according to police.
When arrested, Freeman had an airline ticket for an 11:52 p.m. flight to Tucson. The shooting was reported by neighbors about 11 p.m. The Bristol relatives of Mrs. Bentley first learned of the tragedy from newspaper accounts Saturday afternoon.
Several family members were in Russell County harvesting tobacco when one of them read the newspaper account of the slaying and notified other relatives by phone. One Bristol sister, Mrs. Hutton, had received a letter from Mrs. Bentley only a few days earlier. Mrs.
Bentley said, in the letter, that she planned to leave this Tuesday to go live with her daughter in California. Officials still have not located Mrs. Bentley's husband, Charles. They are trying to find him in hopes he may help with their investigation. Bentley has been employed in the past as an upholsterer and a copper miner.
