India’s government spokesman said today that 200 more persons have been arrested under the state of emergency and that scattered protest strikes and demonstrations had continued around the country. More than 800 arrests have been officially reported, but critics of the government said the real number was substantially higher. It was later announced that President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed had suspended the right of Indian citizens and foreigners to ask courts to protect their fundamental rights.
The spokesman, Dr. A. R. Baji, also said that the review by the Indian Supreme Court of the recent conviction of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on electoral corruption charges would go ahead as planned. But when asked by a New York Times reporter whether she would obey an adverse ruling, he said: “I have no brief on that subject.”
A few signs of disarray within the Government and the Congress party have appeared. In Bombay it was reliably but unofficially reported that the Deputy Solicitor General of India, F. S. Nariman, had resigned; saying in a letter of resignation that “I regret my inability to continue any longer.” Yesterday it was disclosed that one of Mrs. Gandhi’s lawers in the Allahabad case, N. A. Palkhiwala, had resigned after the mass arrests had begun and the emergency declared. In the northern city of Lucknow, Jagannath Shastri, a member of the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature, was suspended from the Congress party for unspecified “antiparty activities.” In Calcutta it was disclosed that five senior Congress party members of the West Bengal State Assembly had been similarly suspended from the party for a “gross breach of discipline.” There were no official explanations, but it was widely thought that these actions stemmed from intraparty disagreements over the crackdown.
Western European newspapers are virtually unanimous in condemning Prime Minister Gandhi, accusing her of acting autocratically in arresting political opponents. Outside the Soviet Union, almost no credence was given her allegation of a conspiracy against the Indian Government. Tass, the Soviet press agency, distributed two statements linking the United States with the upheaval in India.
The West German Government, over American objections, today signed a multibillion‐dollar nuclear technology agreement with Brazil, which pledged not to use the pact to build atomic bombs or explosive devices. The United States had pressed the West Germans for even tighter controls than those they had succeeded in getting into the treaty, officials said. Washington held back from provoking a major confrontation with Bonn, but some American Senators and members of the House of Representatives complained earlier this month that West Germany was about to unleash an atomic menace in America’s back yard. The agreement is expected over the next 15 years to bring the West German nuclear power‐plant industry at least $4‐billion in contracts for reactors, generators, and a uranium‐enrichment system. In return, the Germans will get a dependable source of raw uranium ore.
For the first time in weeks, officials in London are beginning to believe that the major segments of the British economy will be able to agree on stricter policies to control the country’s crippling 25 percent inflation rate, the worst in Europe. The main cause for this modest optimism is the agreement Wednesday by the general council of the Trades Union Congress on principles that they hope will govern labormanagement negotiations later this year. In the Government’s view, the most important of these principles was the willingness of the Trades Union Congress to set a mid‐1976 target date for reducing the rate of inflation and to accept, for all unions, a flat‐rate increase in wages far lower than the 32.6 per cent increase that occurred during the 12 months ending May 31. The labor leaders, who voted 21 to 6 for lowering wage aspirations, did not specify any figures for the lowered inflation rate they hope to achieve, nor did they give any idea of the precise wage rate they have in mind.
International terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, more commonly known as “Carlos the Jackal”, eluded capture after three policemen of the French Intelligence Service arrived at his Paris apartment to question him about a recent terrorist attack at the Orly Airport. After getting permission to use the bathroom, Carlos came back out firing a gun and killed two of the officers, Raymond Dous and Jean Donatini, along with Michel Moukharbal, the informer who had betrayed him, then escaped; the third officer, Jean Herranz, survived. Carlos would finally be captured in 1994.
The World Food Council agreed early today on proposals for attacking hunger, deflecting an attempt by African and Latin‐American nations to dismiss the council’s secretariat and have the meeting postponed. The 36‐nation council endorsed at the last minute proposals including establishment of a $1‐billion a year fund for agricultural development and a plan for 10 million tons of food aid to hungry nations for each of the next three years. Some of the world’s most needy nations, including India and Pakistan, joined the industrialized states to block a move by other third‐world countries not dependent on Western food aid, to dismiss the secretariat and call a new meeting.
Administration officials in Washington said that they had failed so far to narrow the differences between Egypt and Israel sufficiently to make another limited Sinai agreement possible at this time. After nearly a month of intensive diplomatic exchanges, Administration officials said the chances now seemed remote that Secretary of State Kissinger would be able to undertake another “diplomatic shuttle” to seek a Sinai accord. A shuttle mission he undertook last March was unsuccessful. The Ford Administration has decided to keep pressing for at least two weeks more before giving up the “step‐by‐step” effort. This is because Israel, Egypt and the United States believe that the alternative to a limited Sinai agreement — a reconvening of the Geneva peace conference to seek an over‐all Middle East settlement — would be an invitation to a stalemate.
The security and political situation in Beirut deteriorated rapidly today, prompting new efforts by Lebanese leaders and Arab coupntries to head off a civil war. Fighting between Lebanese supporters of the Palestinian guerillas and the militia of the right‐wing Phalangist party intensified sharply during the night and early morning, leaving Beirut virtually paralyzed. Today, the Ambassadors of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kuwait called on President Suleiman Franjeih and met later with Rashid Karami, who has been chosen to head a cabinet that has yet to be formed. The Saudi, envoy, Mansour al‐Rumeih, told reporters afterward that the crisis was on its way to a solution. The police now put the death toll in four days of heavy shooting at 30. More than 60 people have also been wounded, some seriously, the police said. After three rockets fell last night on the headquarters of the Phalangist party in downtown Beirut, wounding a number of people, the party mobilized its militia. This morning the militia set up barricades to block the northern and eastern entrances to the city. Only the southern highway remained open. The southern road is under control of army patrols because it passes the Beirut airport, which has been kept open throughout the two‐month crisis.
The United States aid program, for more than a decade the principal prop of the Laotian economy, wound up activities in Laos yesterday. All remaining supplies and property of the Agency for International Development were relinquished to Laotian control.
The Honduran military Government has cracked down on a protest march by peasants demanding agrarian reform, and tension is reported spreading in the provinces. Five persons were reported killed and two wounded in a clash between peasants and troops at Juticalpa, a town in eastern Honduras. Eighteen persons were reported arrested, including three priests, two nuns and two seminarians working with peasant groups. More than 12,000 peasants started a 310‐mile march Tuesday to demand distribution of farm lands and the release of 22 peasant leaders arrested last month.
A major military operation is taking place 250 miles north of Bogotá, Columbia in an attempt to encircle a guerrilla force that ambushed an army patrol on Tuesday, according to military sources in the capital. Bogotá itself was calm today after the imposition yesterday of a state of siege throughout the country. Under the state of siege those charged with guerrilla activities, rebellion, illegal possession of arms or explosives or any activity that disturbs public order are to be tried by summary court-martial, without appeal.
Simon Wiesenthal, the head of the Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, said today that he had traced to Argentina an SS man he said was responsible for a World War II mass execution of which a former West Ger man Government minister was accused. Twenty Polish professors and 18 of their relatives were killed by an SS squad on July 4, 1941, in Lvov, then a part of Poland, now in the Soviet Union. In 1960, an East German court tried in absentia and convicted Theodor Oberlander for the crime. Mr. Oberlender, now 70 years old and living in Bonn, was the Minister for Refugee Affairs from 1953 until he resigned shortly before the conviction. Mr. Wiesenthal said today that he had proof that the leader of the SS execution squad was Untersturmführer Walter Kutschmann, who, he said, is living in Buenos Aires as Pedro or Peter Ricardo Olmo.
President Isabel Martinez de Perón of Argentina faced her gravest crisis in office, as economic problems mounted and open opposition was expressed by the labor movement, which has been her main pillar of support. In a demonstration called by the General Confederation of Workers, thousands of trade unionists gathered in Buenos Aires to protest the government’s economic austerity measures. The demonstration came despite a plea against it by President Perón. It was organized by the three‐million member General Confederation of Workers, whose leaders also called a seven‐hour general strike here and in other large cities. The turnout of conservative Perónist workers stirred rumors among diplomats, politicians and ordinary citizens that Mrs. Peron was preparing to resign, but in a live television broadcast late this afternoon she gave no indication what her course would be.
An uneasy quiet has come to the Angolan capital city of Luanda one week after three competing guerrilla movements agreed in Kenya to put an end to their fighting, stop their arms race and combine their troops into a single Angolan army. Leaders of the three factions met after the recent outbreak of violence in this Portuguese territory as it approaches independence in November. Reports of armed clashes have diminished, but they have not stopped. The nightly shootings heard in this city are attributed to police patrols firing into the air. But several black and white Angolans interviewed in Luanda are distrustful of the accords signed in Kenya, noting that they are the fifth such agreements signed by the guerrilla factions since January. They note that nothing has been done publicly to carry out the new agreement.
President Idi Amin’s Government said today that it had arrested more British subjects for military trial and possible death sentences. He declared that Uganra might take a tougher line toward the more than 700 Britons living in the former British colony. The Uganda radio, quoting a military spokesman — believed to be President Amin himself — advised Britain to stop antiUganda propaganda if she wanted to avoid trouble for the British teachers, missionaries and businessmen still in Uganda. The spokesman did not say how many Britons had been detained, who they were or what charges they faced. A British official said he did not know of any Britons held besides Denis Cecil Hills, whose dealth sentence for calling General Amin a village tyrant touched off the confrontation.
The International Whaling Commission gave almost total protection to the biggest of the whales still hunted legally — the fin-back — and drastically reduced catch quotas on smaller species.
Former President Richard Nixon gave a total of 11 hours of testimony to lawyers for the special Watergate prosecution on Monday and Tuesday in California. The disclosure that Mr. Nixon had testified was made at his behest under a joint stipulation by his lawyer and the special prosecutor. The testimony will be presented to the Watergate grand jury and will be made part of the jury’s minutes. While some previous Presidents, including Mr. Nixon, have given testimony in other types of cases in such forms as written statements, this appears to be the first time a President or former President has testified under oath in a grand jury proceeding. The former President testified voluntarily in response to a request by the special prosecutor. He was not subpoenaed. The examination of Mr. Nixon — disclosed today at Mr. Nixon’s behest by a joint stipulation between his attorney and the special prosecutor, Henry S. Ruth Jr. — was conducted in the presence of two members of the one Washington, D.C., Federal grand jury that is still investigating matters in conjunction with the Watergate prosecution.
The Senate began its July 4 recess after approving and sending to President Ford a compromise housing bill, a smaller version of a bill that Mr. Ford vetoed on Tuesday. Senator Edward Brooke, Massachusetts Republican, predicted that Mr. Ford would sign the bill. It seeks to stimulate homebuying by middle-income families. The housing bill, which passed the House of Representatives without opposition yesterday, was adopted by voice vote in the Senate after Senator William Proxmire, Democrat of Wisconsin, chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, reached an agreement with the Administration.
In another development today, Mr. Ford asked Congress to amend the Clean Air Act of 1970 to give the automobile industry the five‐year freeze on auto emission controls that it has requested.
Continuing increases in hog and cattle prices, which have helped push retail beef prices to a new record, raised the average of all raw farm commodity prices 2 percent in the month ended June 15, the Agriculture Department reported today. The increase — the third successive monthly gain in farm prices — left the average 10 percent above a year earlier. The farm price index had risen 4 percent in April and 5 percent in May after declining for five months.
More than 100 agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, armed with automatic weapons and dressed in battle fatigues, searched the Oglala Sioux reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, for about 16 Indians they believed took part in the killing of two FBI agents on the reservation Thursday. The two agents had sought to serve arrest warrants on four men wanted with an assault and kidnapping of a man and his son earlier in the week. An FBI spokesman said this afternoon that no suspects had been picked up. The bureau is using a light airplane, several military jeeps an armored personnel carrier and a helicopter in the search, the spokesman said. The killings and a subsequent shootout, as the FBI described the sequence of events, occurred at an isolated collection of farm houses and log cabins near the tiny town of Oglala in the northwest section of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which is twice the size of Delaware. Not far away is the reservation town of Wounded Knee, where more than 100 Indians were massacred in 1890 and where militant Indians staged a takeover two years ago.
A terrorist bomb explosion early today heavily damaged the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs regional office in Alameda, a city across the bay from San Francisco. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the local police sought to determine whether the incident was related to violence on a South Dakota Indian reservation yesterday where two FBI agents and an Indian were killed. A bomb also ripped the visitors’ center at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota. Damage from the bomb explosion here was estimated at $50,000. An unidentified woman caller telephoned The San Francisco Chronicle shortly after the blast, the newspaper said. According to the newspaper’s telephone operator, the caller said: “The New World Liberation Front is going to bomb the Bureau of Indian Affairs.” The so‐called front, an underground terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility for more than a dozen bombings in the San Francisco Bay area during the last year.
The Supreme Court’s decision Thursday concerning the rights of mental patients has left a number of fundamental questions unanswered in the minds of leading medical and legal officials. A chief question is how many of the 200,000 or more patients involuntarily hospitalized for mental illness in this country would be released as a result of the decision. Two prominent spokesmen clashed on this issue. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court held that mental patients who were not dangerous to others could not be confined in institutions against their will If they did not receive therapy and if they could survive in the outside world with the aid of relatives or friends.
A New York diamond cutter and a Maryland mathematician for defense research contractors were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges of conspiring to violate the espionage laws for the Soviet Union. The men, distantly related Armenians born in Beirut, Lebanon, were 36- year-old Sarkis Paskalian, a permanent resident alien who lives in Manhattan, and Sahag Dedeyan, 41, a naturalized United States citizen and a resident of Maryland. It was, an FBI official said, a major espionage case.
Russell J. Little and Joseph Remiro, two members of the self‐styled Symbionese Liberation Army, were senitenced to life imprisonment today for the murder of Dr. Marcus Foster, Oakland school superintendent, on November 6, 1973. Wearing white prison overalls, the two men appeared not to be shaken by the sentence, which is prescribed by law in California for first‐degree murder. It is to be served concurrently with their sentence for the attempted murder of Robert Blackburn, Dr. Foster’s assistant, who was seriously wounded in the attack, on his chief. “This conviction is nothing; we don’t recognize it,” said Mr. Little in a statement that he made facing the spectators, rather than the judge. He contended that the liberation army was “alive and kicking — this conviction will do nothing but strengthen our forces.” He concluded by using the slogan the organization used on most of its communiqués last year after it kidnapped Patricia Hearst: “Death to the Fascist insect that preys on the life of the people.” He smiled and sat down as about 20 spectators applauded.
The British are coming! Just after the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 1976, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh will make a state visit to the former Colonies July 7 to 11, it was announced yesterday at Buckingham Palace and the White House. The invitation of President Ford “has been accepted with pleasure,” a statement said. The royal couple will go on to Canada, where the Queen will open the 1976 Olympics July 17 in Montreal.
The New Jersey Senate rejected a state income tax plan, plunging the state into its worst fiscal crisis and subjecting Governor Byrne to what state political leaders regard as a devastating and perhaps irreversible political defeat. The Democratic majority combined with the Senate’s Republican minority to defeat the Governor’s tax proposal by a vote of 21 to 17, with 10 Democrats joining 10 Republicans and one independent in opposition. Shortly after the vote, the Governor did what he said he would do, and what his Senate adversaries assumed he would not do: he cut $384 million from his $2.8 billion budget to satisfy a state constitutional requirement that the budget be balanced at the start of the new fiscal year.
The Navy grounded all 139 of its F‐14 fighter planes today because of suspected engine problems. It was the second grounding of frontline Navy aircraft this week. The Navy disclosed yesterday that its entire fleet of 600 F‐4 Phantom jet fighters had been grounded for safety inspections following a crash caused by a control failure. Most of the Phantoms have cleared inspection and are free to fly again, the Navy said. The grounding of the $18‐million F‐14s, the Navy’s newest combat aircraft, was ordered after an F‐14 made an emergency landing Tuesday at the Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia.
Both leaders and rank-and-file members of the National Women’s Political Caucus served notice today on aspirants for the 1976 Presidential nominations that their support would not easily be won.

Major League Baseball:
Mark Belanger’s bunt single capped a two-run rally in the seventh inning that snapped the Orioles’ five-game losing streak and produced a 3–2 victory over the Tigers. Detroit starter Tom Walker yielded one hit, a third-inning homer by Brooks Robinson, in six innings. Reliever John Hiller was the victim of the seventh-inning rally. Lee May walked, moved to third on Don Baylor’s single and scored when second baseman Gary Sutherland threw late to the plate on pinch-hitter Dave Duncan’s grounder. Paul Blair’s sacrifice bunt advanced the runners and Robinson was walked to load the bases. Belanger’s perfect bunt up the first base line scored Baylor. The Tiger runs came on singleton homers by Bill Freehan in the second and Gene Michael in the sixth.
Doug Griffin drove in four runs and Rick Wise scattered eight hits to lead the Red Sox to a 9–1 triumph over the Yankees and move into first place in the A. L. East. The Sox, playing before a season-high crowd of 35,489, won the game with three second-inning runs. Fred Lynn walked, Rico Petrocelli singled and Carlton Fisk also singled for the first run. Griffin followed with a double, scoring Petrocelli and Fisk. The Sox added two more in the fourth, with Griffin driving in one, and three more in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Petrocelli. The final Sox tally came on an eighth-inning homer by Cecil Cooper. Wise had a shutout until two out in the ninth when Bobby Bonds rapped his 17th homer of the season.
Jim Bibby tossed a five-hitter and posted his first win since May 13 and first since being obtained June 13 from the Texas Rangers as the Indians won their sixth consecutive game, 6–1, over the Brewers. Buddy Bell’s solo homer in the fourth broke a 1–1 tie and the Tribe was ahead to stay. A pair of errors by third baseman Don Money helped the Indians to three runs in the fifth. The second misplay came with the bases loaded and allowed two runs to score. The Brewers’ lone run came in the third on a walk to Money and singles by Robin Yount and George Scott. Outside of that, only two runners reached second off Bibby.
Dan Ford’s two-run single broke open a tie game in the ninth inning, boosting the Twins to an 8–5 victory over the Rangers and a split of a doubleheader. The Rangers captured the opener, 2–0, on home runs by Cesar Tovar and Tom Grieve as Steve Hargan scattered six hits. The winning rally in the second game came after two were out. Rod Carew walked and was singled to third by Steve Brye. After Brye stole second, Eric Soderholm was given an intentional pass. Ford then singled to center for two runs and Jerry Terrell’s single plated Soderholm with the third run of the inning.
The White Sox scored their sixth straight victory, a 4–3 come-from-behind triumph over the Royals with two runs, the last one unearned, in the bottom of the ninth. The winning rally began when Ken Henderson singled. One out later, pinch-runner Lee Richard moved to third on Bob Coluccio’s bouncing single to right. Bucky Dent’s sacrifice fly scored Richard with the tying run. Coluccio then stole second and Brian Downing was given an intentional walk. Steve Mingori replaced Doug Bird on the mound for the Royals and Bill Stein batted for Pat Kelly. He hit a weak grounder that was fielded by first baseman Tony Solaita about 15 feet from the bag. Mingori raced over to take the throw but it went past his outstretched glove, permitting Coluccio to score the game-winning marker. The Sox had fallen behind early as Hal McRae gave the Royals a 3–0 lead with a fifth-inning run-scoring double and seventh-inning two-run triple. But the Sox got two in the eighth when Carlos May hit a two-run triple.
Joe Rudi doubled home a run to climax a four-run seventh inning and delivered two run-scoring singles in a seven-run ninth inning to pace the A’s to a 12–4 victory over the Angels. It was the A’s sixth straight win and 11th in their last 12. The A’s were trailing 3–1 going into the seventh but Bert Campaneris’ single and Billy Williams’ double tied the score and Claudell Washington’s single drove home the lead run. Rudi’s double scored Washington to make it 5–3. After the Angels scored a run in the seventh on a throwing error by catcher Gene Tenace, the A’s sent 12 men to the plate in the ninth and scored seven times. Rudi triggered the rally with a run-scoring single and capped it with another run-scoring hit. Phil Garner had a run-scoring single and Washington drove in two runs during the onslaught.
Richie Zisk doubled home the tie-breaking run in the nightcap as the Pirates came from behind to defeat the Cubs, 5–3, and complete a doubleheader sweep. Dock Ellis pitched a nine-hitter and Richie Hebner drilled a three-run homer as the Pirates captured the lidlifter, 5–1. With the Pirates trailing 3–2 and one out in the seventh inning of the second game, Ed Kirkpatrick walked and moved to third on Al Oliver’s bloop double. Willie Stargell drew an intentional pass and Hebner plated the tying run with a sacrifice fly. Zisk then doubled off third baseman Bill Madlock’s glove for the lead run. The Cubs had scored all their runs in the second stanza on a double by Rick Monday, Manny Trillo’s two-run homer, Steve Swisher’s triple and Don Kessinger’s double. In the opener, Manny Sanguillen triggered a four-run fourth frame with a triple and scored on a groundout. Zisk walked and Bill Robinson singled before Hebner rapped his 10th homer of the campaign.
Dave Kingman’s two-run homer was the decisive blow and Jon Matlack hurled a five-hitter as the Mets downed the Phillies, 4–2. The home team struck in their first turn at bat when Wayne Garrett led off with a single and stole second with one out. He scored all the way from second on a wild fourth-ball pitch to Del Unser which catcher Bob Boone had trouble locating. Rusty Staub singled home Unser to make it 2–0 and, after Ed Kranepool forced Staub, Kingman slammed his 11th circuit blow of the season. Gre Luzinski homered for the first Phillie run in the fifth and an infield hit by Larry Bowa and bloop double by Ollie Brown resulted in a sixth-inning run. Staub’s throw got away from shortstop Mike Phillips and Brown scored. Matlack got out of the inning by getting Luzinski to pop out and Dick Allen to ground out.
Errors by shortstop Mario Guerrero and first baseman Reggie Smith enabled the Expos to post a 5–4 victory over the Cardinals in the second game of a twi-nighter after the Redbirds won the opener, 6–4, for Bob Gibson’s 250th career triumph. With the score tied 4–4 in the seventh inning of the nightcap, winning pitcher Dan Warthen reached first on Guerrero’s error. Pepe Mangual forced Warthen and then stole second base. He moved to third on Tim Foli’s groundout and scored when Smith was unable to handle Mike Jorgensen’s grounder. Gibson went six innings in the opener and the 39-year-old righthander, baseball’s winningest active pitcher, was supported by Lou Brock and Ted Sizemore who each drove in two runs. Brock singled home a third-inning run and also doubled in the final Card tally in the ninth. Sizemore hit a two-run double in the fifth to give the visitors a 4–0 lead.
Dan Driessen’s two-out, three-run homer in the 11th inning gave the Reds a 5–2 victory over the Padres. A single by Joe Morgan and intentional pass to Johnny Bench after Morgan stole second preceded Driessen’s game-winning blast. The Padres took a 2–1 lead in the fourth on Gene Locklear’s homer but Morgan’s 11th homer, leading off the eighth, tied the game. The Reds played errorless ball for the 11th straight game, tying a National League record.
Two throwing errors and Dusty Baker’s two-run single highlighted a five-run fifth inning as the Braves prevailed over the Astros, 7–4. The Astros had a 2–1 lead in the fifth when Larvell Blanks led off with a single. Losing pitcher Larry Dierker threw Jamie Easterly’s sacrifice bunt attempt into center field, setting up runners at first and third. Ralph Garr hit into a force play, scoring Blanks. Marty Perez singled to left and when Garr made a wide turn at second, left fielder Greg Gross tried to throw him out. The throw was wide and both runners moved up. They were then singled home by Baker. Singles by Darrell Evans, Mike Lum and Vic Correll produced two more tallies. Easterly pitched the first seven innings for the Braves to record his first major league victory.
Bobby Murcer collected three hits, scored four runs and drove in two others to pace the Giants to a 10–5 victory over the Dodgers. After the Giants got two runs in the first frame, the Dodgers scored four in the second to take the lead. But the Giants went ahead to stay with a four-run third inning. Consecutive singles by Derrel Thomas, Von Joshua, Murcer, Willie Montanez and Chris Speier got three markers home and Gary Thomasson drove in another with a sacrifice fly. Reliever Charlie Williams held the visitors to one run — Lee Lacy’s seventh-inning homer — and five hits in 4 ⅔ innings.
