One hundred years and more I have stood amoung my kin atop your proud Montour Ridge. I have watched my family multiply and grow just as I have watched your valley grow and change. Farm lands have passed away and factories have smudged the blue sky with gray. Your beautiful river I've seen peaceful and serene and also swollen and angry, overflowing its banks and causing untold hardships. In happy years and sad, I've watched your town and have seen parades of bands and happy crowds.

I've seen sinister parades of tanks and uniformed marching men as war time carried all your hearts away. All these I've watched over from my home above your valley, and I considered myself your guardian I and all my countless relatives. I carefully covered your mountain with my green in summer and brightened your surroundings with my colorful fall regalia. I've horded your precious water in my roots and preserved your soil from washing headlong down these slopes when rains were heavy. Birds and beasts alike have found food and shelter in my branches, and young men and old alike have stopped awhile to refresh themselves in my cool shades.

thought I was your friend, but time sometimes reverses needs and now I need a friend. Strange creatures are nubbling all my precious leaves away. I look around and all my, friends and relatives are also bare. No hands or feet to save ourselves from these attachers. Alas Dear friends, unless we find some friend who will help us, we will die.

Who then will guard your beautiful valley? I bow my branches trusting that someone, someway will preserve my days so that 1 may continue as your protecting friend.

Peres' remarks coincided with new predictions of war and with reports that Syria and Egypt were beefing up their infantry, armor and air defenses along the confrontation lines with Israel. Zev Schiff, military analyst of the Ha'artez newspaper, said, "Only surprising developments can ward off another ArabIsraeli war. The conclusion for Israel is clear and it must be ready for war at any hour or any moment." On the political front, Prime Minister-designate Menahem Begin's negotiations with the reformist Democratic Movement for Change bogged down Friday on a number of issues, primarily the control of occupied Arab territory.

DMC leader Yigael Yadin said he would join Begin's Likud-led government only if he was convinced his movement can influence Israel's foreign policy. He said the DMC will meet Monday to decide whether to join the coalition. Begin wants the DMC to join his cabinet to increase its base to 76 out of 120 members in Knesset (parliament). But he said he will set up a government with a much smaller majority within 10 days if the DMC fails to join. Uganda (continued from page one) more than three in one car.

N. Korea attack possible By ROBERT KAYLOR WASHINGTON (UPI) -Gen. George Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says he doesn't know if North Korea has any nuclear weapons, but believes the risk of attack on the south from the north after the withdrawal of U.S.

ground troops is "acceptable." Brown appeared with Undersecretary of State Philip Habib. before House and Senate committees Friday for the first public discussion of President Carter's plan to pull out 6,000 troops by the end of next year and all ground forces in five years. Most questions about nuclear weapons including what to do with those now held by U.S. forces went unanswered during open sessions, but Brown did say, "I have no knowledge of whether North Korean forces possess nuclear weapons." He said that "while there is some risk involved in what we are setting out to do, it is an acceptable degree." Brown added, however, that although the post-withdrawal military balance would preclude a rational decision by North Korea to attack, "we cannot account for irrational acts on the part of the other side." Brown told House International Relations subcommittees the joint chiefs do not agree with the criticism of Maj. Gen.

John Singlaub. Carter ousted Singlaub from the No. 3 military post in Korea because Singlaub said took. issue with the withdrawal plan. "The Joint Chiefs of Staff do not share Gen.

Singlaub's statement that a withdrawal in the manner proposed by the President will lead to Brown said. Habib said American naval and air forces to remain in South Korea, "coupled with the U.S. forces remaining in major the Western Pacific, provide a clear, visible U.S. deterrent to any possible North Korean miscalculation." The United States now has more than 40,000 military personnel in South Korea. Withdrawal would involve the U.S.

2nd Infantry Division, which Brown said would be returned to the United States, and other ground forces, totaling about 33,500 men. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a closed session, decided to recail Brown and Habib at a later date after being briefed on the Korean situation by CIA Director Stansfield Turner. Sen. Clifford P. Case, said the panel learned there was information it did not have and it wanted "the last estimate of the Central Intelligence risks and the benefits of the proposed withdrawals."

A prison First lady to return to Washington Sunday WASHINGTON (UPI) President Carter could look to the arrival of his wife Rosalynn from her Latin American tour this weekend to brighten a time of legislative setbacks for his new administration. Carter and an entourage of South American ambassadors will be on hand at Andrews Air Force Base when Mrs. Carter arrives late Sunday afternoon. But the President is sure to address the series of legislative defeats at the hands of Congress once more when he holds a nationally televised news conference his first in two weeks on Monday. Despite the setbacks to his energy package, Carter was pictured as fairly optimistic Friday.

White House press secretary Jody Powell said Carter has been in touch with Speaker Thomas O'Neill and has "confidence in the ultimate good judgment of Congress." wiring (continued from page one) party room failed and shortly there was a "simultaneous ignition of all combustible material within the room," he said, and the fire "then spread rapidly." The official findings differed from an earlier report by a private investigation team hired by insurers, who said sparks from a short-circuited electrical cord leading to a fountain near the Zebra Room started the blaze. Aides concede the "difficulties" many observers foresaw have now developed and are wary of predicting how strong the energy program will be when it emerges from Congress.

Meantime, Carter has sent word through an emissary to Menahem Begin, the Israeli prime minister-designate, that he is "looking forward" to seeing Begin at the White House once he forms his coalition government in Tel Aviv.

An aide said "we hope it will be as soon as possible" and indicated Begin probably will come in early July.
