West German Vessel Suspected in Net Damage Incident
Kennebunkport fishermen filed formal complaints with the National Fisheries Service accusing a 300 foot West German stern trawler, possibly named West Hild, of deliberately damaging their gear along Jeffery Ledge. About 4200 ft of gillnetting was damaged, with losses totaling roughly 3,509 dollars in equipment and 2,500 dollars in lost income over four days. Authorities plan to forward the cases to the State Department for potential recompense from the foreign vessel's country.

Cyprus Crisis Deepens As Turkish Forces Advance
Turkish Premier Bulent Ecevit announced a cease fire at 6 p.m. and a plan to carve a federated state with separate Turkish and Greek administrations. Turkish troops captured Famagusta and moved toward Lefka, forcing the Cyprus government and President Glafcos Clerides to flee Nicosia. Substantial Turkish gains created a 35 mile line from Nicosia to the east coast, with the naval base at Boghaz reportedly captured. Greek forces declined to reinforce to avoid leaving Greece exposed.

Women Bishops Panel Rules Women Not Priests in Ordinations
The Episcopal Church House of Bishops approved a resolution stating 11 women ordained in Philadelphia on July 29 are not priests and may not perform priestly duties. The ruling, amid a two day session, invoked internal discipline for women or bishops who practice or permit priestly acts. Eleven women respond that they remain priests and will decide how to affirm their vocation. The decision targets actions by four bishops involved in the ordinations and leaves disputed questions to future conventions.
