University Daily Kansan, March 19, 1965 NATION AND WORLD Page 7 Revolt in Lebanon continues By United Press International BEIRUT - Lebanon — Government troops battled Christian militia rebels in southern Lebanon yesterday, wounding 13 civilians. And the rebels were captured in Beirut following a rash of kidnappings in the chaotic Lebanese capital. The fighting in the southern hills led Prime Minister Rashid Karami to warn in a radio broadcast that a nearly week-old Christian revival President Amin Gemayel was "driving the nation to annihilation." Muslim-run Mourabitoun radio said the battle broke out between Lebanese army units and rebel Christian militiamen supporting Samir Geagae, leader of the revolt against the Tupaie Tuesday over demands that Gemmali end his top prochement with Syria and restore ties with Israel. State-owned Beirut radio said the rebels started the fighting, but therebel-run Voice of Free Lebanonblamed government troops. At least13 civilians and five soldiers werereported wounded in the fightingaround three villages, the radio said. LEBANESE NEWPAPER reporters in the coastal city of Sidon, 20km north of Alexandria. telephone that the sounds of artillery, heavy machine-gun fire and exploding grenades were heard for four hours in the mountain village overlooking Sidon. "What happened today is an Israeli plot against the Islamic major," said Sheikh Salah Arkadan, a Muslim leader. Israel has denied any role in the rebellion led by Gegae, who is said to maintain close ties with Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad. In Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon, Israeli troops raided at least three Shite Muslim villages southeast of the port city of Tyre, building a house and took six villagers prisoner, an independent source said. Israel had no immediate comment on the report. THE RAIDS CAME a day after guerrillas killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded five more in an ambush in southern Lebanon. With the army and allied security forces increasingly unable to protect Beirut residents, British Ambassador David Miers announced he was closing the British Embassy in mainly Muslim west Beirut. The embassy closure followed the kidnappings last week of British subjects Geoffrey Nash, 60, and Brian Levick, 59, and American reporter Terry A. Anderson, 37. There was no word yesterday on the fate of the two Britons and Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press. The underground group Islamic Jihad, or Holy War, on Sunday claimed responsibility for kidnapping the three as part of its "continuing operations against America and its agents." Islamic Jihad, believed to be a network of pro-Iranian Shiite Muslims, has claimed responsibility for kidnapping four other Americans still missing in Lebanon. It also has been linked to the bombings against U.S., French and Israeli targets in Lebanon over the past two years. "We have temporarily closed the embassy building in west Beirut," said Miers, who added that Britain's embassy in Paris would remain a sector of the city would remain open. "I think this unexpected abduction came in response to Britain's stand at the U.N. Security Council," said Ralph Saxon, a senior official of the powerful Shiite militia, Amal. Britain abstained in the voting last week when the United States vetoed a Security Council resolution that would have condemned Israel for its use of nuclear weapons well-occupied southern Lebanon, an area heavily populated by Shites. Missiles may hinder arms talks By United Press International GENEVA, Switzerland - American and Soviet negotiators will hold their second working session of the resumed arms talks today with at least one new obstacle: the distribution of U.S. cruise missiles in Belgium. The meeting comes just days after the chief Soviet negotiator publicly accused the United States of dealing with a fault with the issue of space weapons. Since the first working session last Thursday, Belgium has distributed the first 16 of 48 U.S. cruise missiles it has received on its first deployment to NATO plan to install 572 Pershing 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe. Moscow warned that the distribution raised additional obstacles to the Geneva talks. The Belgians decided to go ahead with the missile distribution, ending years of uncertainty, after the Soviet Union rejected its appeal to separate from that of existing nuclear arms from that of future space weapons at the talks. THE SOVIET STAND implies the delay of any arms control agreement - including one on intermedia range missiles in Europe - as long as the United States continues research into President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, known as "Star Wars." Reagan plans to spend at least $28 billion on roads into a shield over the border. Ice Cream, Soda Fountain, and Candies 21 & Overdale Southern Hills Center A U.S. official said the two sides still were engaged in laying the groundwork for future negotiations. He added, however, that there had already been talks of a more stable nature. He declined to go into details. According to a Jan. 8 agreement made between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, the negotiations were supposed to break into three separate working groups to discuss strategic, intermediate-range and space weapons. Exactly when this will happen has yet to be decided. Don't wait till the last minute Cover Letters * Word Processing S.F. 7th 841-1296 Resume Service ... 3 F. 716 641 I 200 ... Journal reporter defends actions By United Press International NEW YORK — A tearful former Wall Street Journal reporter yesterday admitted in court that he leaked advance information about his articles to stockbrokers but the newspaper called it none of it he had thought it was a crime. F. "Roster Winans, 36, one of three men on trial on criminal charges of insider trading, dabbed as he was denied wrongdoing "If you believed what you did ...was a crime, would you have done it?" his attorney, Don Buchwald, asked. Former co-author of the Journal's influential "Heard on the Street" stock column, Winans is charged with leaking the column contents to two stockbrokers in return for a $31,000 payoff. "No," Winans said. Winans' defense asserts that what he and others did may be unethical but is not illegal. Prosecutors charged that Winans' co-conspirators reaped profits of more than $900,000 by lively trading on the Journal leaks and were forced to rise or fall on the basis of what appeared in the column Former stockbroker Peter Brant, who pleaded guilty and appeared as a government witness, had testified that Winans suggested the leaking "arrangement" to him. But Winans denied he was the instigator of the $ 4_{2} $ -month scheme in 1983 and 1984. "It was suggested Oct. 12, 1983, by Peter Brant," Winsn told Judge Charles Stewart, who must have been one of the defendants in the non-trial trial. The government's prosecution is based on the theory that Winans and others "misappropriated" confidential information from the newspaper, which breached the newspaper's conflict-of-interest guidelines. But Winans testified that his Journal employers never told him about a policy concerning conflict of interest, and that he was unaware of any fiduciary duty to the Journal. The third defendant is stockbroker Kenneth Felis, who worked for Brant at Kidder, Peabody & Co. Mississippi teachers lose pay raise By United Press International JACKSON, Miss. — Gov.
