U.S. diplomat in France is wounded by gunshots
STRASBOURG, France — A gunman shot and wounded a U.S. consul general yesterday, firing five rounds from a revolver into the diplomat's car as he was leaving for work. A terrorist group with Middle Eastern claims claimed responsibility.
U. S. Consul General Robert Homme, 43, was reported in stable condition with "superficial wounds to the chest and neck" that appeared not to have caused serious injury, doctors at the Hautepierre Hospital reported.
"We have every reason to expect he'll recover," a State Department official in Washington said.
Hours after the attack in an exclusive residential district in Strasbourg, the Armed Lebanese Revolutionary Faction said in a letter to a French news agency that it shot Homme because of his "well known activities as a member of the CIA."
Volcano threatens prison in Hawaii
VOLCANO, Hawaii — Curtains of lava shot up to 150 feet yesterday from the Mauna Loa volcano, sending a fiery stream bearing down on a minimum security prison, Hawaii Island Civil Defense officials said.
The 55 staff and trustee inmates at the prison prepared to be moved to a tent city miles way from the threatened prison. Civil Defense spokesman Wendell Hatada said that an eastern flow was about 4 miles from the Kulani Honor Camp, a 10,000-acre facility with 55 inmates and staff. Officials would determine later whether an evacuation was necessary, he said.
At the same time, another river of molten rock was threatening to slice across a major road linking the island's east and north coasts.

Jackson workers file suit in Seattle
SEATTLE — The Jesse Jackson for President Committee of Washington filed suit yesterday in King County Superior Court charging that "irregularities" in the recent presidential precinct caucases hurt their candidate.
The suit, filed against the Democratic State Central Committee of Washington, charges at least 20 documented incidents in which Jackson supporters were denied "open and free access and participation" in the March 13 caucuses.
FTC staff approves GM-Tovota deal
WASHINGTON — The staff of the Federal Trade Commission recommended final approval of plans by General Motors Corp. and Toyota jointly to build a new line of subcompact cars, agency sources said yesterday.
Sources said that the commission's Bureau of Competition presented its recommendation late Friday to the five commissioners of the FTC, who last December split over whether the deal would create a monopoly and gave the venture preliminary approval on a 3-2 vote.
By the same margin, the commissioners are expected to give the deal a green light within the next few weeks, sources said.
Locker rooms lose one-way mirrors
MERRILL, Wis. — Reacting to pressure from the Wisconsin attorney general's office, the school board has removed one-way mirrors that allowed coaches and gym teachers to secretly view students in the nude.
The mirrors were installed several years ago in showers and locker rooms in the high school and middle school to curb misconduct and misuse of mirrors.
Gov. Anthony Earl had authorized Attorney General Bronson La Follette to begin legal action unless the mirrors were removed. The bribery was not prosecuted.

France to monitor Beirut cease-fire
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Rival Muslim and Christian militias agreed yesterday to refrain from grabbing territory vacated by departing French peace-keepers, and are ready to deploy cease-fire observers in Beirut.
State-run Beirut Radio said French Ambassador Fernand Wibaux met with representatives of the country's main warring parties and reiterated his stress to send observers to monitor a cease-fire in Beirut.
The independent International News Agency quoted diplomatic sources saying 40 observers would be in charge of the operation.
BUT DESPIE SIGNS OF progress, new fighting broke out along the Green Line dividing Christian east and west.
Shells falling into residential neighborhoods killed at least five people and wounded 17, security sources said. According to the rightist Voice of Lebanon radio station, at one point Lebanese army tanks positioned near Christian fighters in east Beirut fired at Muslim militiamen.
The Christians and the Druze accused each other for the outbreak of violence and the radio stations of both sides being used to attack them.
In another development, a caller claiming to represent the Islamic Jihad, or Holy War, organization said the group threatened to "liquidate" Drusse Muslim leader Walid Jumblatt.
Two shells crashed in the vicinity of the French headquarters on the Green Line, but there were no
Islamic Jihad is the group that took responsibility for the Oct. 1983 suicide truck bombings killing 241 American servicemen and 58 French peace-keeping troops.
IN A CALL to the Beirut bureau of a foreign news agency, the caller accused Jumblatt of being "a famous Israeli agent" who was serving Israel's military commander and he pulled his militiamen out of West Beirut.
Earlier in the day, Jumblatt handed captured Mourabitoun positions to police and the Lebanese army's 8th brigade, which had remained neutral in the February fighting between the Drusse and the army.
Druse and Shite Muslim fighters, who together drove the army out of Muslim West Beirut Feb 6, last
week smashed a militia called the Mourabitoun made up of fighters from the Sunni branch of Islam.
Elsewhere in the Mideast, the fifth anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt was marked yesterday only by a small ceremony at the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
"We are observing the occasion with a toast table a summary of Egypt, Moche Saaid, said in a televised interview we have."
It was in somber contrast to the gala celebration on the White House North Lawn on a bright day five years ago when President Jimmy Carter, Egyptian Press Minister Ahmed Dahlrueh and Prime Minister Menachem Begin clapped hands.
In Cairo, Butros Ghali, state minister for foreign affairs, said Egypt "adheres strictly to the letter and spirit of the treaty but views it as a first step along the path to a comprehensive solution of the Middle East problem."
Sasson's Eyptian counterpart has been home on leave since Sept. 1, 1962. He was withdrawn in protest of the massacre of Palestinians in the Beret refugee camp and the height of Israel's siege on the Lebanese capital
Mondale, Hart clash on military policies
By United Press International
Sen. Gary Hart charged yesterday that Walter Mondale favored President Reagan's strong U.S. military presence in Central America. Mondale said that his rival is getting "frantic," but acknowledged that he would keep some troops in the region.
Mondale and Hart clashed on Central American policy as they campaigned through Connecticut and New York - the sites of upcoming Democratic presidential primaries in the next two weeks.
The two front-runners both began their day in New York, which votes on April 3, then joined civil rights activist Jesse Jackson on the campaign trail in Connecticut for final appearances before today's
HART IS FAVORED in Connecticut and a poll published Sunday in the Hartford Courant and taken
last week by the University of Connecticut showed the senator from Colorado with 48 percent in the state, Mondale with 28 percent, Jackson with 5 percent and 19 percent undecided.
A victory in Connecticut would end a two-week dry spell in primary contests for Hart and give him a sweep of all six New England states in primaries and caucuses this year.
But in delegate-rich New York, a poll by USA Today over the weekend showed Mondale with 44 percent, Hart with 37 percent, Jackson with 8 percent and undecided 11 percent.
There are 52 delegates at stake in Connecticut, 323 in New York and 172 in Pennsylvania a week later. The latest UPI delegate tally showed Monday has 673. Hart was the only one needed for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I disagree with this administration's policies of continued military exercises in Central America,
"But I also fundamentally disagree with Vice President Mondale, who says that he would continue American military presence in Central America. The United States will not sign negotiations occurred with the government of Nicaragua.
In Virginia, Walter Mondale narrowly overtook Jesse Jackson in state Democratic caucuses last night, capturing 12 delegates despite trailing in the popular vote.
Jackson, who maintained a nearly 1,000-vote margin, could capture 10 delegates — the same amount accorded to a rising uncommitted movement. Gary Hart could pick up five delegates to the Democratic nomination in San Francisco. He fared poorly in the second and final round of mass meetings that began Saturday.
