Cassius Clay Resentenced To 5 Years HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) — A federal judge resentenced Cas sius Clay today to the same five years in prison and $ 10,000 fine he assessed in June 1967, after the' C lay’s conviction on a charge of draft evasion. U.S. Dist. Judge Joe Ingra ham imposed the same sentence without comment. Clay’s chief lawyer, Charles Morgan Jr. of Atlanta, Ga., filed notice of appeal at once to the 5th Circuit Court in New Or leans. Clay will rem a in free on $5,000 bond posted at the tim e of his first appeal two years ago. Clay had sought exemption from the draft as a Black Mus lim minister and as a conscien tious objector.

This brought to 39 the total of Soviet-made Egyptian planes shot down by the Israelis since the 1967 war, the army said. The air battles came as Israe li and Egyptian artillery contin ued to fire across the canal.

(AP) — The investigation into Sen. E d ward M. Kennedy’s auto acci dent “ isn’t completed—not b y a long shot,” a Registry of Motor Vehicles supervisor says, The supervisor, George W. Kennedy, no relation to the sen ator, commented Wednesday after the state agency an nounced in Boston it had sus pended the senator’s driver’s li cense because of the accident. Registry officials noted tem porary suspension of a license is “faidy routine in cases involv ing a fatality.” The suspension was based on a preliminary finding that the 37-year-old Massachusetts Dem ocrat was at “fait” in the acci dent, which claimed the life of a young Washington secretary. Kennedy has been charged with leaving the scene of an acci dent. “There a re a lot of things s till to be done,” George Kennedy said. “ I t might be a week before a full report is ready. We are going to have to ask a lot of questions before we get what we want.” M ss Mary Jo Kopechne, 28, a Accident Here Wednesday PM Police w ere called to the intersection of Ford Avenue and King Street at 1:35 Wednesday afternoon when cars operated by Wm.

The registry said suspension of the senator’s license will re main in effect until a formal hearing is conducted. “If the hearing results in a finding of no serious fault on Se. Kennedy’s part,\ the registry said, “his driver’s license wiil be reinstated. If the hearing results in a finding of serious fault, the ,ic°n-*'i. s» - be changed to a revocation, which must by la remain m effect for six months.” McEwen Favors 15-Mile Limit Along River Washington — Rep. Robert C. McEwen said Wednesday a tem porary 15-mile-an-hour speed limit for ships in the unregulat ed sections of the St. Lawrence River was “reasonable” and he would recommend that it be imposed pending the outcome of a joint United States-Canadi- an study. McEwen said he had never, publicly or privately, suggested a nine-mile-an-hour lim it, as charged by Capt. Joseph Stro- kirk, president of the United and are seeking to hold him to their point of view. To complicate his situation, the Nixon administration is weighing whether to press for ward with development of the supersonic transport, and one of the prime contractors is Boeing Aircraft Co., the largest em ployer in Magnuson’s home state of Washington. Faced with such conflicting pressures, Magnuson has re mained silent, and is likely to do so right up to the vote. Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., the only senator besides Sen. Thomas J. McIntyre, D-N.H., to be listed as uncommitted in the last Associated Press poll show ing a 49-49 deadlock, says he has made up h is mind but won’t discuss his position. It would be difficult to pres sure Williams, one of the most independent of senators who has announced his retirement effee tive the end of his term in 1971. And aides to some senators who hold the key to the outcome insist they have seen no signs of pressure from either side in the debate. California Fruit Store Cleaned Up Mayor John F.
