Sniper fire breaks short calm in Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)—Sniper fire broke the calm in east Beirut yesterday and killed one Syrian soldier. But the Syrians did not resume the heavy fighting that killed almost 200 Lebanese in a battle with ChristianRIGHTists last week.
President Elisas Sarkis, meanwhile, set down four conditions for Syria and Lebanese Christians to accept to hold off his resignation, Lebanese officials reported.
They said Sarkis' conditions were:
- That he be given effective command of the Arab peacekeeping force. He now has only nominal control of the force, consisting of 500 soldiers and 3,000 soldiers from four other Arab states.
- That all the right-wing and left-wing militias in Lebanon, which outnumber the Lebanese army 4-0-1, hand their arms over to the government or else the Arab peacekeeping force will disarm them by force.
- That an existing agreement with the Palestinians be enforced, which permits them a limited number of guns in the
refugee camps and a restricted armed presence in the south.
- That the president be given a free hand to guide the country on a course of national reconciliation between Moslems and Christians.
Sarkis threatened to resign last week because of the bloody fighting in the capital. But Syria and the Western powers urged him to return to office for the sake of Lebanon's stability.
The fighting between the Syrians, the core of the Arab League peacekeeping force which has been here since the end of the 1975-76 civil war, and the Christians, Syria's civil-war allies against the Palestinians, has become a battle for control of Lebanon.
The Syrians want to bring the militant Christians under control and are angered by their cooperation with the Isarelis in southern Lebanon. The Christians are demanding a Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon.
Syria is wavering on some of the conditions and the most extreme rightist leaders in Beirut find them unacceptable, Lebanese sources said.
Soviets say U.S. press tries to pressure courts
MOSCOW (AP) — On the eve of the trials two prominent Jewish activists, the Kremlin hinted yesterday that Western reporters might be subject to prosecution for their coverage of dissidents and accused of trying to put pressure on Soviet courts.
The official news agency, Tass, said in a commentary, "Some organs of the American press are trying to impose on world public opinion at any cost their own distorted viewpoint on the trials of Khalid Sharurkasy, Shcharurkasy and Alexander Ginzburg;
"Without waiting for the court to open hearings, to examine in detail criminal proceedings," she added.
established by law, there are those who, interfering in the Soviet Union's internal affairs, want to bring pressure to bear on the course of the forthcoming trials. These gentlemen apparently forget elementary norms of international law.
"IS IT ADMISSIABLE in Western countries to influence the court before they report it?"

So, it is not. So far as we know, persons attempting to influence the course of justice in the United States are liable to be prosecuted under the law."
Carter飞ies to Born late Thursday for a two-day visit in advance of the conference opening Sunday. It will be Carter's first state visit to West Germany.
BONN, West Germany (AP)—The West German government will be looking for reassurances from President Jimmy Carter about U.S. energy and inflation prospects when Carter arrives this week for a world economic summit.
In a television interview yesterday, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, whose relationship with Carter has reportedly been frosty, said he considered U.S. energy
The conference, fourth in a series that began in 1974 in Rambouillet, France, brings together the leaders of the United States, West Germany, France, Canada and Japan, as well as representatives of the European Common Market.

"From the German point of view, the shrinking of American oil imports and the struggle against inflation with the goal of reducing the American balance-of-payments deficit stand naturally in the foreground." Schmidt said.
CARTER AND British Prime Minister James Callaghan are expected to press Schmidt to increase West Germany's contribution to world economic recovery.
Sources in Bonn have hinted that Schmidt will agree to some form of stimulus—possibly a tax cut—in exchange for Carter's promise to curb oil imports and assurances from the others to reduce barriers against free trade.
"The chancellor has said that such a world economic summit conference is designed to find a mutual, integral policy, to find complementary programs for different areas," government spokesman Armin Gruenewald said.

"And he has said he would be ready to work out such compromises."
West German officials have repeatedly expressed disappointment that Congress has failed to enact Carter's energy package, designed to curb the U.S. appetite for foreign oil and to reduce the U.S. trade deficit.
The velled warning to correspondents comes at a time when two U.S. reporters face a court hearing on a civil charge of insulting an stories they wrote about a Soviet disident.
The Bonn government blames the U.S. trade deficit for weakening the dollar and throwing international currency markets into turmoil. The dollar's decline has been coupled with a sharp increase in the value of the West German mark, which in turn makes German exports less attractive abroad.
At a meeting last week, leaders of the nine Common Market countries agreed to begin plans for a new European monetary system intended to stabilize currency fluctuations. The system will be among topics for discussion at the summit.

Craig R. Whitney of the New York Times and Hardie Poirer of the Baltimore Sun have been ordered to appear in court July 18 to answer charges of slandering a television station by reporting that some dissidents were responsible by one of their number was fabricated.
The Whitney-Piper case marks the first time Western reporters have faced legal proceedings in Moscow based on their reporting.

In an unprecedented action, the Soviets have announced that there will be two daily briefings to inform foreign correspondents of the progress of Scharansky's trial.
The Tass commentary, along with the charges against Whitney and Piper, seem to indicate that correspondents who seek other information of the trial may be doing so at their own risk.
