The Palestinian officials said six Israeli U.S.-made Phantom jetfighters raided Dalamiyah, leached 20 miles south of Beirut and the hills around the nearby coastal Palestinian-controlled town of Damour.
Guerrillas fired Soviet-made Katyusha rockets on the Gaillee panhandle region today in apparent retaliation for the overnight raids. The rockets caused no damage or injuries but residents in the region took refuge in shelters.

Israeli army chief of staff, LL. Gen. Rafael Eitan, said the raid 10 miles north of the Israeli town of Metallum was the first time since the 1973 war that Israeli infantry had been sent against tanks.

The military command, in its announcement of the operation, said it was part of a long series of preventive actions in south Lebanon aimed at keeping the Palestinians off guard and concentrating on their own defense instead of on attacking targets in Israel.

Purge and trials hinted in Poland

Jaruzelski, in his first major address since his inaugural speech Feb. 12, said the economic situation was so bad that it was impossible to fulfill totally the agreement signed with workers to end strikes.
The Premier told the nation's lawmakers that most of Solidarity's 10-million members wanted peace to strengthen "Socialist Poland" but he said some groups in the independent union had "overgrown ambitions."
The Parliament met today to debate emergency economic measures being introduced by Jaruzelski, the fourth man in 14 months to hold the
The Polish press had hinted yesterday of a possible coming purge of senior officials in light of accusations of corruption and economic mistakes. One newspaper said former Communist Party boss Edward Gierek might be put on trial.
Signs of a shake-up began to proliferate yesterday as Communist Party workers held a spirited meeting with the current party leader, Stanisław Kania, at the Lenni shipyards in Gdansk.
Extra earnings of officials limited
WASHINGTON - Because they are appointed federal officials, the former hostages in Iran have a legal limit on how much they can earn through speeches or articles about their captivity, the Federal Election Commission rolled yesterday.

The FEC ruled 6-0 that the hostages could receive a maximum of $2,000 for each article or speech and no more than $25,000 annually in total bionariums.
but at a harbor.
But the commission ruled payment of the honorariums can be spread over several years, in effect delaying them to future years when the maximum would not otherwise be reached.
Members of the commission said the law applied to the hostages even though it was intended primarily to prevent someone from disguising speech and magazine fees for funds that actually were campaign contributions to candidates.
24 Salvadorans killed; police fired
The government asked the FEC to rule on the issue when it became apparent that election law reforms instituted in the wake of the Watergate scandal were so broadly drafted that they covered all government workers, including the ex-hostages.
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—The Treasury police, whose agents have been linked to the killing of 24 people in a San Salvador slum, said yesterday that 59 members of the dreaded force had been dismissed for abuse of power and other charges.
The announcement by the agency's director, Col. Francisco Mora, said some of the dismissed agents faced possible criminal charges, but he did not specify whether the action was related to the killings Tuesday in Soyapango slum southeast of the capital.
El Salvador has said the people were killed in a gunbattle between Treasury police and leftist guerrillas, but witnesses said the victims were being treated for serious injuries.
In other developments, former ambassador to El Salvador Robert White told senators yesterday there was "compelling evidence" that a right-wing group financed outside El Salvador was responsible for the March 1980 murder of Archibishop Oscar Arruilo Romero.
White, removed and fired by Secretary of State Alexander Halg, specifically accused former office officer Manjil. The charge was later dismissed, helping connected with Romero's efforts to

White said he got the book from Col. Adolfo Majano, former member of El Salvador's civilian-military junta, who in turn claimed it was taken from d'Abulsson, whose name has been associated with extreme right-wing groups.
The notebook does not back up White's specific charges. It mentions neither Kromero nor d'Abuisson, and it does not mention any specific charge for the user.
Senate. House disagree on budget
The Senate Budget Committee, dominated by Republicans, voted 11-9 to approve $13.9 billion for the 1982 defense budget. Reagan originally asked for $18.8 billion, but the Congressional Budget Office re-estimated the request at the higher figure.
WASHINGTON-Senate budget writers yesterday approved the full amount that President Reagan requested for defense, but their House counterparts spurned administration requests and pumped more money into food programs and Medicaid.
The House Budget Committee, in voice votes that generally fell along with the Senate's approval to cap on federal Medicaid spending and restored $1.7 billion for nutrition programs.
The Democratic-controlled committee restored *1.1* billion to Medicaid, explaining in a budget document that the cap could result in reduced health costs.
The proposal from Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, D-III., is that the House and the Hague administration in economic between the House and the Hague administration
Rostenkowski called for a one-year, $40 billion tax cut for businesses and individuals in fiscal 1982.
The package would help middle- and lower-income taxpayers through rate reductions, larger standard deductions and modification of the so-called marriage penalty. It proposes tax incentives for increased personal saving and offers guidelines for a business tax cut.
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, promising to "suit up and come off the bench as soon as possible," should have done this this weekend, his doctors said yesterday.
Acting Press Secretary Larry Speakes said the departure date could be anywhere from Friday to Monday, but most likely would be the weekend.
Reagan improving, receives more threats
By United Press International
Reagan appeared eager to leave the confines of the hospital, where he has been recuperating since March 30 from a gunshot wound to the chest.
"This is the president's best day yet," said Reagan's personal physician, Dr. Daniel Rue.
The doctors also issued a good prognosis for White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was shot in the head. Dr. Dennis O'Leary, spokesman for George Washington University Medical Center, said he "extremely optimistic that Jim Brady will be able to return to his profession."
Doctors said the president had been free of fever for the past 24 hours and the follow-up X-rays and other signs "are all positive."
Reagan entertained a flurry of visitors throughout the day, including House Republican leader Robert Michel, Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan.
"I think it's pretty clear that his mental capacities are certain to return to normal, barring complications," O'Leary said. But he suggested it still is damaged by the much motor control was damaged by the bullet that pierced Brady's brain.
Reagan already is well enough to "run the country," his doctors said, but he should take it easy after leaving the hospital. He will have to forego his favorite pastimes of chopping wood and riding horses for a while, they said.
THE PRESIDENT also signed several documents, including one calling for a lowering of the flags in honor of Gen. Omar Bradley, the last five-star general, who died late Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Edward Richardson, who allegedly promoted in letters to "bring to completion Hincley's reality," was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on two counts of threatening to kill President Reagan.
O'Leary said Reagan should be able to put in several hours of work a day in the Oval Office within a week or 10 days.
The charges were returned against Richardson, 22, two days after he was arrested by Secret Service agents at a New York bus terminal. Richardson was headed for Philadelphia armed with a loaded 32-caliber pistol.
Each count against Richardson carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $1,000 fine. A hearing to return Richardson to New Haven, Conn., to face the charges was scheduled for April 17.
THE AREST came eight days after John W. Hickley, 25, was charged with shooting and wounding Reagan in an assassination attempt.
The unemployed landscape from Drexel Hill, Pa., a middle-class Philadelphia institution, was being held on bond bonds at York Metropolitan Cornerstone Center.
U. S. Attorney Richard Blumenthal said the threat charges stemmed from a letter found Tuesday in Richardson's room at the New Haven Sheraton Park and delivered Monday to movie star Jodie Foster's Yale University dormitory.
Miss Foster, 18, also received letters from Hinckley. Authorities have theorized Hinckley allegedly tried to abduct a student to prove his love for Miss Foster.

Blumenthal said that despite Richardson's references to Hinkley in his letter to Miss Foster and the apparent similarities in the alleged ac-

U. S. Magistrate Frederic N. Smalik issued the order in U.S. District Court in Baltimore less than 24 hours after Ronald W. Ekholm, 39, was arrested by police in Salisbury and turned over to Secret Service agents.
Bill to ban handguns proposed
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Peter Rodino yesterday introduced legislation to ban "Saturday Night Specials," and demands mounted in Congress for crimes involving handguns.
But the assassination attempt appears not to have swayed opponents who believe gun control laws would not be effective, officials or lessen incidence of crime.
In apparent response to the attempted assassination of President Reagan, the two Democrats included a provision for a mandatory prison term, ranging from one year to life, if a gun is wielded in the commission of a crime.
Facing formidable opposition, Kennedy, D-Mass., offered the modified gun control measure in the Senate and Rodino, D-N.J., chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, introduced it in the House.
The bill also would impose a 21-day waiting period on handgun sales, require records of handgun transfers, and provide a mandatory minimum sentence of two years for any person who fires a firearm during the commission of a crime.
The bill would ban 'Saturday Night Night

A broad anti-crime bill proposed yesterday by Sen. Howell Helfin, D-Ala, includes a mandatory five-year sentence for sentence for gun-toting criminals.
The Heflin bill would create a new office in the Justice Department to help states and local governments deal with the problem, and would establish a police academy.
