The bloodless action, accomplished without the use of any troops or any force, was announced over radio and television.

Beirut, Lebanon Syrian forces attacked two Palestinian bases Sunday in south Lebanon and shelled Palestinian leftist positions, jeopardizing the Libyan-engineered truce, the Palestinian command com-mand reported. The drive through the southern region of Lebanon, where a heavy concentration of guerrilla bases are located, brought the Syrians within 14 miles of Israeli positions. However, military analysts in Tel Avive said Syria had no apparent intention of threatening Israel.

Wayne Hays, object of a congressional sex scandal investigation, took an overdose of sleeping pills and lay unconscious in a hospital Thursday night. Of Friday, Hays emerged from from the coma and was reported in satisfactory condition by his doctors. "We've had no indication. To my knowledge, there is no suicide note.

While Hays was recovering from his sleeping pill overdose on Friday a second congressman became entangled in the Capital's payroll-playmate scandal. Bep.

Willard Sively, chief engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, reported that abnormally high snowpack at higher elevations possibly could present major problems along the Snake River next week or the following week. "We haven't reached the runoff peak," he said, adding that snowpack in the Jackson and Teton areas is 150 to 160 percent above normal. The latest estimate of property damage in the Teton and Snake River valleys is 1.17 billion. y NATIONAL M - Los Angeles Jimmy Carter's bandwagon began to look like a "Rapido" bound for the Democratic nomination last week as defeated rivals jumped aboard, bringing their delegates with them. Carter, in need of only 379 more delegates to reach the 1,505 total that would assure his nomination, looks like a sure bet for the top spot on the November ballot, as projected by bis carefully calculated two-year schedule. With new found supporters like Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington and Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, who have more delegates in their columns than Carter needs for a first ballot nomination, the only question Open Letter to Support Decker Bid Salt Lake City The craze of Congressional sex scandals hit Utah Saturday night as Rep. Allen T. Howe was arrested for allegedly soliciting a sex act from two special police officers posing as prostitutes. Howe, a 48 year old Democratic congressman elected to his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 was booked into the Salt Lake City-County Jail after he was taken into custody by police vice squad officers at 10:45 p.mfj . In a statememt issued after his release, Howe; said,"I am innocent of any wrongdoing and beg of my 3 friends and all the good people of Utah to withhold their judgement on the outward appearances and accord me, as they would also want, the constitutional presumption of innocense." Genwood Springs, Colo Claudine Longet, the 35 year old former wife of singer Andy Williams, pleaded innocent in Aspen, Colo., Thursday to charges of felony manslaughter in the March 21 shooting of pro skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, at the $250,000 mountain chalet they had shared for two years. On Friday, the attorney prosecuting Longet said the defense's closing of a preliminary hearing to the public was "pure nonsense." "If the same rules applied to President Nixon as applied to Claudine Longet today, Nixon would still be in the White House," Prosecuter Frank Tucker said. Supporters of unsuccessful Republican county commission com-mission candidate Bruce Decker are seeking signatures for an "open, letter" to the Summit County GOP which repudiates the party's nomination of Snyderville resident Bill Wallin for the two-year commission post to be decided this November. Wallin was nominated at the Republican county convention Tuesday, June 8 by a large majority despite Decker's backing by five of Park City's seven delegates. An informal agreement among county politicos dictates that this year's commissioner be chosen from the Park City area. . The letter declares that this "long standing tradition" was broken by the convention when "the Kamas and Coalville areas ignored the Park City mandate demonstrated by the fact that "five districts within Park City were overwhelmingly in favor of Bruce Decker." This action was "encouraged" "en-couraged" by "lame duck commissioner" Mel Flinders, the letter slates. , :' After asserting that the mining, tourist and business interests of Park City have been denied representation by "agricultural" interests, Decker's supporters claim "something is rotten in the party" when "a local candidate can-didate is so strong as to be able to have 85 of 95 people at a mass meeting (Park City's on May 17) support him, at the largest mass meeting in 30 years, yet the party chooses the weak candidate..." The letter cites the "hipocracy" of public officials of-ficials who choose "to override the wishes of the majority of Park City voters" while criticizing 'Washington's corruption." "We hold nothing against Mr. Wallin," the letter declares and continues, "In the ex citement of the contest, he probably did not stop to think that his doings were not the will of the people whom he wishes to represent." The letter concludes by calling for Wallin's withdrawal with-drawal from the commission race. "...he (Wallin) should show that he is a man of integrity by abandoning his position as candidate, because he will not represent this area, nor 'eceive its support."
