A. John Kessel, chief Miami customs agent, said the haul was made Tuesday night and was the largest siezure here in his recollection.

He said the cocaine weighed about IS pounds and would have commanded about a $5 million retail price tag. He said the cocaine and 2.5 pounds of heroin were found in false compartments of suitcases carried by the Ecuadorian couple. Five other persons, two of them Cuban nationals, have been arrested and charged with involvement in the smuggling. Customs officials identified the pair seized at the airport as Guillermo Davalos, 38 and his wife, Marlene, from Guayaquil, Ecuador. The other suspects are Rolando Calde-ron, 40, and Ricardo Antonio Gonzales, 31, both Cuban na-.

tionals living in the United States; Antonio Prieto, 38, of Guayaquil, his wife, Anna, and his sister-in-law, Elisa Prieto, 37, also of Guayaquil. All seven have been charged with illegal importation of narcotics and conspiracy to smuggle narcotics into the United States. Kessel said Customs Inspector Earline Brewer was suspicious of the bags' contents and discovered the narcotics. The suspects are being held in the Dade County jail on $100,000 bond each. ed.

Israel was reported fortifying its frontier with Lebanon because of fighting between Arab guerrillas and Lebanese army troops. An Israeli military spokesman said Egyptian forces opened a mortar attack on the Israeli side of the Suez Canal north of Qantara. The sopkes-man said Egyptian troops later opened light arms fire at PortTewfic. Israeli officials reported no casualties but said a 26-year-old tractor driver, David Lam-kari, died of wounds suffered in canal action on Monday. Tel Aviv reports on the air strike into southern Jordan Thursday afternoon said Israeli planes strafed the encampment for 30 minutes.

The Lebanese government has been cracking down on the activities of Arab guerrillas in Lebanon for fear of Israeli reprisals. Government officials in Beirut said two Lebanese soldiers and two guerrillas have been killed in the fighting in the village of Kabr Nikha, six miles from the Israeli frontier. They" said 38 members of the AL-Saiqah Thunderbolt guerrilla and leader of the Al-Fatah guerrilla organization. The Egyptian envoy, Hassan Sabry Al-Kholy, met with President Charles Helou of Lebanon and Yassir Afarat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader of the Al-Fatah guerril-laorganization. Presidential Palace sources said Helou conferred separately with Afarat for two hours.

The sources said Al-Kholy then joined the talks. President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt sent Al-Kholy to Beirut Wednesday to end the strife between the Syrian-based Al-Saiqah group and the Lebanese army which opened a drive against the guerrillas in southeast Lebanon earlier this week. The Tel Aviv reports said Israel was building up its fortifications, shelters and protection for Israeli villages along the Lebanese frontier. mmm mm LARGEST DISCOUNT CHAIN IN THE DELIVERY SERVICE 965-9821 FREE ICE at the Downtown Holiday Inn on "Peace Is Everybody's Business" before the Palm Beach County Chapter of the UNA.

Turning to the Far East, she said China should be admitted to the United Nations. "China," she pointed out, "has the atom bomb and may soon be able to deliver it. From the practical point of view she should be brought into the United Nations where she can be watched and influenced." As to the cost of our belonging to the United Nations, she said: "How much does the UN cost the United States? I do not think it is wise to play the per cent or cents game as the actual amount per person varies according to the fluctuation of the population and inflation.

"But according to a study by the Brookings Institution, each year the UN, through expenditures in the United States, returns to our national economy approximately four times as much as this country contributes to the UN." She noted that the three trouble spots in the world which are of special interest to us "at the moment" are Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia with its "seemingly never-ending Vietnam conflict." "The major sore spot in the world for most Americans is Vietnam," Mrs. Strout continued. "It seems to me that the war in Vietnam has really been a contest among the world's most powerful nations: Russia, China and the United States, each striving for a position of influence in Southeast Asia and trying to deny it to the others." She said all must agree that "an alternative to bombs and physical force must be found if peace is to result at the conference table. Quoting former UN Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, whom she conferred recently, she said, "We cannot be a world policeman.

We must refer matters of conflict to the United Nations. "Can the world achieve peace through the United Nations?" she asked. "It can and it must. If we are to do our part in building a more enlightened world it is essential that we take a more mature attitude and realize that in terms of history the United Nations is but an infant with all accompanying growing pains; but that as it increases in age and experience, it will also increase in stature and effectiveness." Today and Saturday the state board of trustees of all 12 Florida UNA chapters will meet here to plan for a larger conference, which will in turn plan for the November conference for all members of all chapters, also to be held at the Downtown Holiday Inn.

A committee of students calling themselves "The Silent Majority" Tuesday outlined plans for a week-long campaign beginning Friday which was centered around a petition commending Acting President Stanley Marshall for his "progressive" administration so far.

"This will enable me to support the campaign and to encourage others in the university community to do so." "I believe this campaign to invite those who believe in progressive responsible change as opposed to disruption and disorder to speak out could be one of the most important developments at Florida State," Marshall continued. "Accordingly, I shall do everything I can to support the project and I am inviting others to join the effort." The campaign called "the week of endorsement" was headed by Co-Chairmen Sid Raehn of Orlando and John Gerheim of Miami, who said they hoped to get half of the student body to sign the petition and support orderly change.

Both had said they hoped to sell the idea of expression by the "98" per cent majority to campuses across the nation and were having "98" campaign buttons made along with posters for the drive."
