Israel declares cease-fire
TEL AVIV (AP)-Israel unleashed a fierce artillery barrage on a last Palestinian stronghold near the Lilian River yesterday and then declared a cease-fire in the drive that gained it control of nearly all of southern Lebanon in a week.
But the Palestine Liberation Organization said Israel's unilateral decision to stop the Gaza war has been a mistake.
Observers from Sidon, Lebanon's provincial capital of the south, three hours after the cease-fire was announced that all seemed quiet except for an isolated report of machine gun fire near the Litani River bridge on the coastal road.
ISRAEL CONTROLS an area from the southern border to the Litan River, 18 miles to the north, excluding the river from the Mediterranean and meeting the river from the Mediterranean for about 17 miles and
then curves north with the river to the village of Hasabaya, about 12 miles from the Israeli border and east again to Cheba, near the Syrian border.
The declaration of the cease-fire, effective at 8 a.m., yesterday came as Prime Minister Menachem Begin began his talks with President Jimmy Carter in Washington. Carter was from southern Lebanon and concessions in the peace talks with Egypt.
"The minister of defense has instructed the chief of general staff to effect a ceasefire along the entire front in Lebanon as of 1800 hours today," said the brief announcement issued by a military spokesman.
"**SKAEL#2** declaration of a cease-fire is not "needed", said Mammal Mauhoud, official director of the organization."

by Israel from the whole south Lebanon.
Bassam乌萨 sharif, a spokesman for George Habash's radical Front for the Liberation of Palestine, called the Israeli decision absolutely ridiculous and vowed to waken a relentless war of attrition by the Israeli invader was kicked out of south Lebanon.
He also suggested that popular front fighters would not let U.N. peacekeeping forces stand in the way of raids on Israeli positions.
In Jerusalem, Defense Minister Ezer Weizman said if the Palestinians fired on Israel positions, Israel might break the cease-fire. He told members of Parliament that he would join them in south Lebanon in the next 24 hours, and perhaps call a cabinet meeting.

Carter, Begin open talks
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Jimmy Carter opened talks with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin yesterday, pledging U.S. commitment to preserving Israel but warning that prospect of a settlement "have now been looded over."
Sharing Carter's assessment, Begin told Carter the these tests of trial for IRA members of all regionate regions.
The talks began as Israel declared a cease-fire in southern Lebanon. But a spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization said security forces had been able to secure enough. What is needed is an unconditional total withdrawal by Israel from the whole of south Lebanon."
THE PALESTINIAN terrorist attack that killed 35 ISRAELS along the Tel Aviv-Haifa coast in 10 days ago was, begin said, a "massacre" of the invader's character is of the implacable enemy."
However, Begin said, "We shall overcome."
The visit, against a backdrop of strained U.S.-Jarash relations, gives Carter a chance to press Begin for concessions in the laging negotiation process with Lebanon withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
In his remarks, Carter suggested that Israel was militarily secure enough to give ground to the Arabs—a point Begin and his government contest.
"Israel is now militarily and in many other ways strong--stronger than ever before in history," physical said. "With the strength in physical terms and with the strength of the leadership of Israel rests the prospect of resolution of the difficulties that have so long divided the people of the Middle East."
ONE OF THE principal points Carter is discussing with Begin is the prime minister's view that Israel is not committed to a withdrawal from the West Bank of the
Jordan River under 1867 and 1973 U.N Security Council resolutions.
"For 10 years the search for peace has been going on under 1967 resolution 242." Carter said, alluding to the U.S. position that he was committed to withdrawal on this front.
Carter condemned the "owardly and unjustified attack by terrorists on innocent civilians in Israel" and, indirectly referring to Israel's military thrust into southern land, a hack had resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and made tens of thousands homeless.
His speech reflected the turnaround from the U.S. optimism created by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's visit to Jerusalem in November.
"The bright days of new opportunity have now been clouded over," Carter said.
Carter and Begin conferred for more than two hours. They will meet again today.
Financial difficulties plague U.N.
About 160,000 miners will be eligible to vote Friday on the union's latest proposed contract with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association.
"I think we could do better," said Alex Bier, president of Local 614 in Penna.
But support for the contract is not unanimous. Many advisers say that further regulations are needed.

Broke miners could end strike
WASHINGTON (AP)—Coal miners, low on cash after a 106-day strike, may vote grudgingly for a contract proposal to end their walkout, according to interviews with more than 100 local United Mine Workers leaders.
The UMW local presidents interviewed represent more than 23,000 of the union's miners. Four-alfa of the presidents said they would vote against it and said they would vote against it. The remaining 22 either declined to express an opinion or are retired矿ers and thus unable to vote.
AN AP SURVEY conducted before the vote on the last contract, which was rejected by a 2-1 margin, showed 24 of the 106 union presidents interviewed predicted their employers would approve the contract. Thirty-two precast no votes and 47 had no prediction.

The new proposal contains industry concessions in a number of areas.
Some Western nations also have withheld their payments on technical grounds. France, for example, still owes $17 million from the U.N. force in the Congo that served there from the Belgian Congo's independence in June 1960 until June 1964. France said its troops should have been included in the U.N. force.
local leaders also expressed displeasure with Arnold Miller, UMW president, and with what they regard as an inept performance at the bargaining table.

Doyen hearing set for Monday
TOPEKA (AP)—A hearing is scheduled for 4 p.m. Monday in Shawnee County District Court on three motions seeking dismissal of three misdeeming counts brought against state Senate President Ross Doven.
Attorney General Curt Schneider brought the complaints against Doyen two weeks ago, alleging Doyen aided and caused his campaign treasurer to violate the 1974 Campaign Finance Act by hiding campaign evidence after the 1976 general election.
The 4,000-man contingent is expected to

The latest Soviet refusal is expected to bring the total debt incurred by the Soviet Union and its constituent states of Byelorussia and the Ukraine to nearly $100 million. They now have more than $400 billion in U.N. Emergency Force in Sinai 1956-1967, $40 million from the Congo operation 1960-1964 and $23 million from the current UNET and U.N.
- Existing records in the secretary of state's office and the campaign finance reports themselves show no violation of the law.
- Doyen was unlawfully served the summons naming him as a defen-
tionary.
- The attorney general does not have authority to file a complaint in this case; the attorney general's authority to file complaints is limited to those areas specifically listed in the statutes and generally relates only to vice cases.
Asked about receiving the November memo supposedly sent to the attorney general and to Kissinger, Mitchell told the记者, "I'm sure I would remember."
After being shown the memo, Mitchell noted, "There is a reference in the memo to the idea of being transferred by the Koreans to the Democratic Party in connection with an

The November memo was sent to Mitchell and Kissinger by then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, committee investigators said. The memo also said rice millionaire Mr. Hoover had made Central Intelligence Agency director," he had payments to a congressman.
Rep. Donald M. Fraser, D-Minn., chairman of the panel, said Kissinger was expected to testify about how much Nikon has helped manufacturers influence-buying and what they did about it.

THE INVESTIGATORS also said the Nov. 24 memo was sent to Henry A. Kissinger, who at the time was Nixon's special national security adviser. Kissinger has agreed to testify before the House International Relations' subcommittee later. The panel is investigating alleged Korean attempts to buy influence in Congress.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Former Attorney General John N. Mitchell testified yesterday that he never received a 1971 FBI memorandum alerting him that South Koreans were giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party.
Mitchell said the memo he did remember receiving from Hoover, dated September 30, 1971, quoted intelligence reports as saying aides to former House Speaker Carl Albert and former Rep. Cornelius E. Gallagher, D.J.N., "are connected" with the KCIA.
"There is a reference to a president—Korean President Park—in here and also a reference that a congressman had been told he would I would recognize it and remember it."
House investigators released a Nov. 24, 1971, FBI memorandum to Mitchell, saying that South Korean President Park Chung Hee's aides were directly involved in contributing several hundred thousand dollars to the Democratic Party.
