Heat Trips Sprinklers OMAHA - Jewbh Community Center mabitenance men and staff personnel worked about three hours Tuesday night to mop up an eaUmated 300 gallons of water bi tbe north end of the bulkUng The mop-up apparently was caused when heat from the kiln located next to the ceramics studio set off tbe sprinlder system. Damage was believed mbwr. The water covered tbe studio floor, an adjacent art room, part of another art room, and part of the connecting hallways. The sprinkler, which pours water St the rate of about 25 gallons a minute, was on approximately IS minutes. Chucl( McCollum, maintenance chief, said apparently someone working the ceramics studio inadvertently closed the door to the kiln room.

Sharon Warns About Fullbacks JERUSALEM (JTA) Gta. Ariel Sharon the retbred Yom Kippur War hero who beads Ukud, sakl that any further pullback of Israeli forces bi Stoal woukl limit. Israel's military optkms so that its only reaponse to the massbig to egyptlan forces east of the Suez Canal would have to be a preemptive attack. Addresstog a luncheon of the Israel Academies Committee on tbe Middle East, Sharon maintained that Israel could not give up any territory on the West Bank without endangering Its existence and that it could afford only very Ibnited further pullbacks on the Golan Heights, and then only in return for a fullfledged peace agreement with Syria. Accordtog to Sharon, Egypt now has the capability of moving 1,500-2,00 tanks across tbe Suez Canal in one night. If Cairo did this under the strategic conditions that prevail today, Israel would have the option of mobilizing its forces and waiting for the next Egyptian move, he said. Howaver, If Israel withdraws Ito faroes any deeper toto Stoal, that oplbo wauM be dintod and Israel woubl have toatrike fbit at any sign of Egyptian masatog east o( tbe canal, Sharon added.
He explained that the present alignment of forces b along a 100-mile front. If Israel withdraws beyound the MItle and GidI passes, given the configuratton of the Stoal peninsula, the front would broaden to 200 miles, thbmbig out Israel's forces and creating serious logistics problems. Tbe Likud leader emphasized that he was not opposed in principle to further Israeli piullbacks in Stoal withto the framework of a peace treaty with Egypt. He said his own view of a final settlement with Egypt envisioned the return of most of Sinai to Egyptian administration provided that the peninsula was demilitarized and that Israel retained control of Sharm el-Sheikh and the Abu Rodeis oil fields. With regard to the oil fields, he suggested that Israel would pay royalties to Egypt. Sharon was pessimistic over the chances of a peace sltlement with Syria. On the West Bank, he said, the Issue was not who Israel negotiated with-whether the PLO or any other factlon-but the subject of negotiations. In hb view, control of the West Bank b not open to negotiations with anyone but the political future of ito Inhabitants could be a subject of discussion.

His last Russian film was a scientific documentary on liquid crystal which won two International awards Sklantky expUlned thtf liquid crystal Is a new tiver-aenaltve crystaline chemical which, when painted on an ailing part of the human body, changes color at the most minute difference in body temperature, thus indicating where the Illness Is located. For bistance. It could detect where dots were in the l)lood vessels without having to have the patient Ingest any chemicals. The film had a heartbreaking sequence. A big, strapping, healthy looking man had asked the doctors to look at a small growth on the bottom of his foot. The liquid crystal treatment revealed, astonishingly enough, that the man had a cancer that at that point was already out of control. He would be dead within a few months. To keep the man from learning this, the sequence was left out of the final version of the film, at the doctor's request.
