Four Planes Down Over Syria in Israeli Raid
TEL AVIV AP reports an Israeli air raid over Syrian territory resulted in the downing of three Syrian MIG21s and an Israeli jet. Syrian officials claimed one Israeli plane was brought down by ground fire, while Damascus said fighting began along the cease fire line and spread across the frontier.

Israeli command also said two Arab guerrillas were killed on the Golan and Lebanese-based attacks resumed against border settlements, including a charge under Dishon that was later disarmed.

Senate Approves New Education Bill
The Senate cleared the nation’s largest school aid measure, a $24.6 billion bill, by a 7 44 vote. It expands major programs for three years and moves to the House where swift approval is expected. The bill raises income eligibility for Title 1 ESEA to $4,000 and boosts impacted areas funding to $1.2 billion annually, including aid for districts with federal installations and migrants.
