Fights flare: Sands gets last rites
BELFAST, Northern Ireland—Pope John Paul II's personal envoy met yesterday in prison with dying IRA hunger striker Bobby Soses. IRA terrorists killed a Protestant militiaman, and new battles broke out between rock-throwing Catholics and British police, who responded with plastic
Sands' family said that the IRA leader, described as near death in the 90th day of a hunger strike, was given the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church.
The pope's secretary, Monsignor John Magee, a native of British-rules Northern Ireland, went to Maze Prison as soon as he arrives in Ulster and was sent back.
At nightfall, police in riot gear fired plastic bullets to disperse a mob of Sands' supporters who attempted to set fire to a cigarette factory with fire bombs. Policecem ducked behind armored jeeps to dodge rocks in some of the bitterest street fighting of the night.
While Magee talked with Sands at the jail, violence flared again on Belfast streets.
"War is no doubt going to be unleashed upon us" if Sands dies, said the Rev Ian Paisley, a militant protestant leader.
Paisley also demanded that Britain send more troops to Northern Ireland to reinforce the 12,000 already there.
Residents of Belfast's Catholic and Protestant sections were reported stockline food and supplies against the possibility of a civil war.
Israel enters Lebanon-Syrian war
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israel openly entered the war in north Lebanon for the first time yesterday, sending jett fighters to attack Syrian positions northeast of Beirut in support of Christian militiamen. Israeli officials said the planes shot down two Syrian helicopters.
"We will not put up with the Syrian attempt to take over Lebanon and annihilate its Christian population," Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said after presiding over an emergency Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.
Citing a "deterioration in security," Britain advised its 1,000 citizens to evacuate Lebanon by overland convoys to Damascus to escape the fighting that killed at least 46 people and injured 237 during 24-hour period ending yesterday.
Mortars, rockets and artillery shells criss-crossed the capital all day, crashing into homes, offices and hospitals as Syrian troops and Christian Phalanginian militants pounded one another's positions on either side of the "upright line" separating Beirut's Christian and Moslem sectors.
But Israel's intervention shifted the focus of the fighting in the Bekka valley and the provincial capital of Zahle, 35 miles east of Beirut and only 10 miles north of Tel Aviv.
Atlanta victim died of asphyxiation
ATLANTA—A coroner ruled yesterday that Jimmy Ray Payne, the 26th victim of Atlanta's child killers, died of asphyxiation, the same cause of death in Lansing.
sauzh Kaki, associate Fulton County medical examiner, said, "Aphysia is the working diagnosis we have at this point." He said he arrived at that point 45 minutes after the doctor.
Zaki said there was a possibility of drowning. He also said there were no visible injuries on Payne's body.
Payne's partially clad body was found Monday in the Chattahoochee River, the recent damp ground for the killer or killers of young Atlanta
Public safety commissioner Lee P. Brown identified Payne's body five hours after a couple fishing from the river bank spotted it hung on some
Brown estimated that Payne, who disappeared last Wednesday, had been in the water about five days.
Meanwhile, police missing persons detectives yesterday found three blacks who had been reported missing. One of them, 33-year-old Richard Character, who police said was mentally retarded, had not been seen since the officer reported missing until Monday. He was found in a midtown park, police said.
Committee votes to expel Lederer
WASHINGTON—The House Ethics Committee yesterday urged the house appellate Raymond F. Lederer, D-Pa., the only absa戒骗 defendant respectfully.
The recommendation was made on a 10-2 vote during a closed-committee session and was sent to the House floor. It could not be learned immediately.
The three-term Philadelphia congressman was convicted on felony bribble-taking charges as a result of the FBI's Abscam investigation in which undercover agents posed as Arab sheikhs or their representatives seeking favors on Canitol Hill.
Five other House members were convicted on various corruption charges. One was expelled, one resigned expecting expulsion and three are no longer available.
Ledere's office announced that his attorney, James J. Binnis, would hold a news conference in Philadelphia today but that Ledere would not attend. No
Stephan wants lower juvenile age
TOPEKA-Atorney General Robert Stephan, saying that more 16- and 17-year-olds are arrested for serious crimes than any other age group, yesterday urged lawmakers to change the law so those minors could be prosecuted as adults.
In a renewal of his campaign to lower the state's juvenile age from 18 to 16 for youths committing Class A and B felonies, Teston testified that the state removes violent offenders from its juvenile system, it will have more time and money to rehabilitate less violent juvenile offenders.
Stephan, testingify before a six-member conference committee of House and Senate lawmakers, took offense at remarks by another speaker that lowering the juvenile age was "immoral." He angrily asked whether he had such crimes as premeditated rape, rage, robbery and sodomy was moral.
Stephan, who has stumped the state during the past two weeks for the bill, joins Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Alfred Schroeder in seeking
Toxic shock cases are decreasing
The agency issued a notice asking whether proposed mandatory warning labels on tampon produced will be needed or whether the language of the notice would be used.
WASHINGTON—There appears to have been a marked decline in the number of patients who cannibalize the tampon use was revealed, the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday.
Many tampon manufacturers already are voluntarily providing notices about the disease, advising women to discontinue use if the illness develops.
The FDA said the Center for Disease Control, as of March 2, had recorded 1,024 cases of toxic shock syndrome, 78 of which were fatal. Roughly one-
There was a "sudden decrease" in the fourth quarter of last year, the agency said. In December, fewer than 40 cases were reported.
The agency said it did not know why the incidence of the disease had decreased.
But it said factors that may be responsible include the removal of "Rely" brand tampons from the market, lag time in reporting by doctors, diminished interest in the disease because of waning media attention, and the failure to inform users about tampon usage and a change in the tampon wearing habits of women.

WASHINGTON—President Reagan, given a warm and rousing welcome by Congress less than a month after a bullet pierced his left lung, said last night that his health was "much improved," but the economy would remain sick until his budgetary cures were passed.
Reagan shows health, but economy still ill
The one sure way to continue the inflationary spiral is to fall back into the predictable patterns of old money. Cann't it time we tried something new?
Members of Congress rose to their feet in a standing ovation that lasted several minutes as Reagan entered the House of Representatives for his first public appearance since the attempted assassination March 30.
Reagan spoke on the eve of his first 100 days in office. His appearance was designed to demonstrate to the nation that he had made a quick recovery from the economic crisis and to push for his economic package; now working its way through Congress.
In a husky voice, Reagan began his brief message by thanking Americans for their 'expression of friendship and care' for the refugees we weeks he recuperated from his wound.
"I believe it is essential that the Congress approve this package, which I believe will lift the crushing burden of inflation off of our citizens and restore the vitality of our industrial machine," he said.
HE THEN WENT IMMEDIATELY into a plea for passage of his economic program, which during the next couple will face crucial votes in both chambers.
Reagan spoke to the 535 members of the House and Senate, the Cabinet and the Supreme Court in the House chamber. But his real audience was the
millions of Americans watching on television.
Reagan timed his speech to coincide with coming crucial votes on a series of budget proposals. He strongly endorsed a budget plan that cuts $6 billion more from federal spending than he proposed.
THE SENATE BUGET COUNTEREET yesterday approved Reagan's proposals, but there were indications that he had not grouped to provide major opposition.
Although his voice was hoarse and became huskier as he spoke, the 70-year-old president moved with vigor to sign of pain from his chest wound.
Reagan said the House Budget Committee measure, proposed by the Democrats, "quite simply falls far too low" in essential actions that we must take.
He said the plan would increase taxes by more than a third and cut more than $14 billion in "essential defense spending." The president also said the plan projected $141 billion more in spending than the Reagan-endorsed plan proposed by Rep. Phil Gramm, D.Tewar, and Delbert L. I. Latta, R-Ohio.
After the speech, the shouting had barely died out before Democrats began their criticism. House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., D-Mass., said parts of the president's speech were "unfair and misleading," and charged that Reagan's program marked the beginning of the abandonment of the federal commitment to health and education.
'O'Nell said Reagan's assertion that the Democrats' alternative budget would cut essential defense spending was "unfair and misleading." Instead

of cutting more than $11 billion, as Reagan contended, the Democratic plan would spend $4.4 billion more than Reagan's plan, he said.
Republicans, however, were jubilant. Sen. William V. Roth Jr., R-Del., coauthor of the tax cut proposal Reagan has adopted, said the speech "was one

The surprise hit of the 1979 New York Film Festival, this hungarian film is about a man who is accused of killing an Andoran woman (and who, in post-war Hungary, joins the Communist party, but finds it not what he expected). This is less than pro-communist, this is a polemic-free, provocative, provocative film (86 min., Color, Hungarian/subtiles; 7:30.
