U.S. aiding Israel in Lebanon war
WASHINGTON--U.S. intelligence sources confirmed yesterday that late user was able to manipulate pride and Syria was bringing Soviet-militant into the new fifties Lebanon.
U. N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim met in emergency session for three and a half hours yesterday with President Reagan, Vice President George Bush and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. The National Security Council held an early-crooning conference at the White House.
Waldheim said that the situation in Lebanon was "deteriorating in general," and a State Department spokesman叫 it "tense, dangerous" and "uncomfortable."
Waldheim said joint efforts of the United Nations and the United States were focusing on trying to establish an immediate cease-fire in Lebanon.
The State Department said yesterday that Israel had used "U.S.-supplied aircraft" in Lebanon. Most arms agreements forbid the use of American-supplied weapons outside the borders of a country except for regional or national self-defense.
American intelligence confirmed the presence in Lebanon of SAM-6 surface-to-air missiles, according to State Department spokesman Dean Fischer. U.S. intelligence was not able to confirm Israeli information that Soviet technicians were helping the Syrians.
lapan agrees to cut auto exports
TOKYO—Japanese officials agreed at a meeting early today with U.S. special trade representative William Brock to cut car exports this year by 140,000 below the 1890 level in an attempt to head off protectionist laws in Congress, Japanese sources said.
A source close to the trade talks said Brock "appeared to be happy" with the further concession, but there was no official announcement by either the Japanese or the US.
A source in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which has been handling the problem of soaring sales of Japanese-built cars in the UK since 2015, said that it was "very alarmed".
For the current fiscal year that began April 1, sales would be held to 1.68 million, as opposed to last year's 1.82 million. In the second year, the export volume will be increased if the U.S. auto market improves, though no increase is even. The third year's volume will also be subject to discussion, he said.
Japan, at a meeting with Brock yesterday, hcd proposed a three-year program call for a call in 1981 to 1.7 million units, but the U.S. auto negotiating team dismissed the plan as too weak to satisfy Congress, trade sources said.
Japan's seven auto makers still contended publicly that they wanted to send as many cars across the Pacific this year as last—a record 1.82 million.
Sands refuses to end hunger strike
BELF AST, Northern reliand — IRA convict Bobby Sands yesterday refused to give up his 61-day-old hunger strike despite a personal appeal from the Pope and asked his mother to keep doctors from prolonging his life if he slips into a coma.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher refused to yield to demands for special privileges for IRA prisoners that would end Sands' fast.
In the Catholic sections of Belfast and Londonerry, IRA supporters circulated detailed plans for a general strike and three days of mourning before Sands' funeral. An independent politician criticized the "savage attackers" supporters and branded them "vultures" waiting to exploit his death.
As she left the Maze Prison hospital, Sands' mother, Rosaleen, said she could see no way that the hunger strike would end. She said that her son was preparing himself for death and that she had promised not to ask doctors to try to save him if he fell into a coma.
Sands, 27, elected to Britain's Parliament last month, has been fasting since March 10 to press demands that IRA members be treated as prisoners
Longer rape sentences considered
TOPEKA–Under the toughest sentencing conditions, rapists could be imprisoned without parole for up to 20 years, instead of the current eight
House members passed the bill on a 122-3 vote and sent it back to the Senate so the upper chamber could take a look at House changes in the program.
DemocraticRep. Vic Miller, a Topeka lawyer, amended therapistparole provision into a bill that would give judges discretionary power to determine whether an individual is eligible for the parole system.
"I just don't think in most cases eight years (in prison) is enough for a rapist," Miller said.
Rape is a Class B felony, Miller said, that now carries a minimum sentence of between five and 15 years and a maximum penalty of 20 years to life.
But if a rapist received the minimum sentence now, he might be eligible for parole after three years, Miller said. Under the most severe sentencing conditions, a rapist could face a minimum of seven years.
Another child disappears in Atlanta
ATLANTA—Police began a search last night for a 14-year-old black youth missing since Wednesday. The youth fits the profile of the 26 young blacks abducted and slain in Atlanta.
A police spokesman said Wille Harris was reported missing by his father at about 6:30 last night. He said the boy had no prior history of being at
at about 6:30 last night. He said the boy had no prior history of running away. Harris, who police said weighs 110 pounds and stands between 5-feet-4 and 5-feet-10 inches tall, was last seen at home on Wednesday night, his father reported.
Police said the case was in the hands of the missing person bureau, and had not been turned over to the special task force handling the unsolved killers.
"We don't suspect he's been snatched," a police officer said, although he would not say why.
The last four victims have all been 21 or older, although more or less childlike in size, but the first 22 were all 16 or younger. Eight of the 26 young blacks found slain in the past 21 months have been found in rivers, including six so far this year.
With stepped-up police patrols and the city's residents being ever more watchful, the killers apparently feel that they have less time to carry out their deeds. Pitching their bodies from bridges would take considerably less man dragging them into woods, where many of the early victims were found.
At least three of the bodies have been found in the South River, and five victims have been dumped in the Chattahoochee River.
Record honors Lennon's memory
LONDON—A new record by the three surviving Beatles acknowledged that John Lennon was the driving force behind the group and calls his killer the Rolls Royce.
Guitarist George Harrison wrote the music and lyrics to the Lennon tribute, "All Those Years Age," for a forthcoming album and joined forces with drummer Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney to record the song. Each recorded his part separately, however.
Sources close to the surviving Beatles said that they would never record as a group, and the recording did not mean they were getting back together.
The song will be released as a single later this month.
Harrison's music company, Ganga Publishing, refused to permit publication of the full lyrics before release of the record.
But the song brands Lennon's assassin as "the devil's best friend, someone who offended all."
Lennon was shot and killed in December outside his New York apartment. Of Lennon's role in the Battles, the song says he was "the one who intervened," but the details are unknown.
Harrison lamentes that he is now *cold and sad* after Lennon's death and sings "we're living in a bad time."
The recommendations, which will be presented to the Board of Regents at this month's meeting, are based on a report prepared by Touche, Rosa and Co., a Kansas City, Mo. public account firm, that has outlined seven proposals for an early retirement program.
FacEx discusses voluntary retirement program
The Faculty executive committee will meet today to discuss recommendations for a voluntary early commencement program at the University of Kansas.
The Board of Regents and University officials are looking to a voluntary early retirement program as one way to increase staff size to meet declining enrollment.
THE PROGRAMS INTRODUCED by Touche-Ross would help induce early retirement by reducing the penalty in retirement benefits that a faculty member would incur if he retired before age 70.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chan-
The meeting was called specifically to discuss options for an early retirement program with concerned faculty, and to develop a consensus on which program the faculty members favored.
Cobb said a special subcommittee at KU, and one at Wichita State Uni-
The program would contribute the Social Security benefits forfeited by the faculty member to the Teacher's Instruction and the retirement program for KU faculty.
sity, had both come to the conclusion that a variation of the Touche-Ress proposal for part-time employment to age 70 was the best program.
THE COMMITTEES at the two schools, and the Regents' Faculty Senate Presidents developed a number of recommendations to go along with the program proposal, including the recommendation that the program include the option to retire fully or switch to part-time status.
"This is as close to a consensus as
we're going to get." George Worth, FacEx chairman, said, referring to the recommendations made by faculty leaders.
Grant Goodman, professor of history, said he hoped the programs would not be used to "ease" people out of their positions. Worth assured him that any early retirement would be strictly voluntary, and that the program would merely serve as an inducement for those wishing to retire early.
Today's FAcEx and Senate executive committee meetings will be joint meetings of this year's and next year's committee members. This meeting will meet with the new executive committee and assume their positions on commencement day.

"I thought Bud was better, but I've been proved wrong. I chose Schlitz."
convinced them. "Schlitz has body, it has flavor," said Budweiser drinker James Seager. "It's real quenching and real clean and very drinkable," agreed Miller drinker Mike Manely. Budweiser drinker Robert Davis summed up the feelings of many when he said. "I'll have to stop by and pick up a six-pack of Schlitz!"
"Three years ago I came to Schlitz to make my best. And after 40 years as a master brewer, I know this is it. Taste one glass. You may like my Schlitz better than your beer, too."
One person who wasn't surprised is Frank Sellerling. "Some people thought it was risky to taste test my Schlitz on national TV. But I was sure lots of people would pick Schlitz over their beers.
