TEL AVIV AP The Israeli command said its warplanes attacked Arab guerrilla bases in Lebanon today marking a second incursion in as many days and a third in five. Planes struck for 30 minutes against targets on Mt Hermon slopes near the Hasbani frontier. All planes returned safely. Ground raids Friday and Saturday blew up six houses in two border villages as operations against guerrillas continued since the Suez and Jordan front ceasefire began Aug 7. Pravda charged aggressive circles in Israel seek to block a settlement and denied Egyptian rocket movements near Suez. Israel hopes to gain more American weapons amid the charges.

Space Frog Test Delayed
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. AP Two frogs scheduled for a one way trip into space today will be earth bound for a few more days as the launching of their Scout rocket was reset for Friday. Scheduling difficulties was the official reason for the postponement of the flight. The frogs packed into a water filled centrifuge participate in experiments to learn about man s disorientation on space voyages. Researchers chose the amphibians for the similarity of their inner ear structure to humans. Electronics devices attached to the frogs inner ears will record signals on earth as they are weightless and spun to half Earth gravity.
