Reagan, Pope John Paul II plan a meeting in Alaska
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, who has made religion a central theme of his re-election campaign, will meet with Pope John Paul II in Alaska in early May, a White House spokesman said yesterday.
Plans are being made for Reagan and the pontifex to meet May 2 in Fairbanks — a refueling point for the president as he returns to Washington from China and for the pope as he sets off on a tour of the Far East.
"The president, on learning that it might be possible for the meeting, initiated inquiries with the Vatican representative here," the spokesman told reporters.
The meeting follows a decision by Reagan to upgrade relations between the United States and the Vatican. At his direction, the United States has re-established full diplomatic ties with the Holy See after a 117-year hiatus.

Bar skirts ban on ladies' nights

The bar served 50-cent drinks to anyone wearing a skirt. The man, Al,
would not give his last name. He said he was wearing a skirt borrowed from a University of Colorado student.
"It's kind of interesting," said Al. "I liked the reaction I got from a couple of women the most. Some even offered to buy me a drink."
Bar manager Carl Hupman said "skirt night" was a promotion to get around a recent ban on ladies' nights, when women received a discount on drinks. The Human Rights Commission passed a ban on ladies' night last month on the grounds of discrimination against men.

Meese denies seeing '80 notes
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Edwin Meese yesterday told a Senate panel considering his fitness to be attorney general that he did not remember seeing 1980 Reagan campaign memos, found in his files, that contained tips and notes from President Carter's workers.
"I have no knowledge of any effort by the 1800 Reagan-Bush presidential campaign, or anybody associated with that campaign, to obtain any private material or information" from the Carter center, which stated it would write written questions posed by Sens. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, and Carl Levin, D-Mich.

"I PERSONALLY DO not condone any practice or procedure that involves
Meese, who was Reagan's campaign chief of staff and is now White House counselor, reminded the committee that the Justice Department after an eight-month investigation found no evidence that any criminal laws were involved in the transfer of Carter campaign documents to Reagan campaign workers.
Mees's reply, which ran nine paragraphs, included excerpts from his sworn testimony Feb 22 to House committee investigators that specifically denied that he knew about three campaign memos that came to public light Wednesday.
The panel has put off a vote until Thursday.
The memos, each with "Ed Meese" written or typed on them, discussed both Carter campaign strategy to win the black and rural vote and a purported offer from Gen. Richard Rutherford. The memos also discuss a military matter with Reagan.
"I do not know if Governor Reagan met with General Ellis during the campaign and I do not recall if I took memorandum." Meese said.
IF CONFIRMED AS head of the Justice Department, Meese said he would remove himself from any involvement in a pending case in which a federal judge later issued a written notice to the Justice Department for not appointing an independent prosecutor for the Carter briefing-papers controversy.
School-prayer foes hope delay helps
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Opponents of organized school prayer continued their attacks yesterday, thinking that delay was aiding their fight against a constitutional amendment still several votes shy of Senate passage.
"The longer that people have a chance to think, the better our chances are," said the Rev. Charles Bergstrom of the Lutheran Council.
STILL SHORT OF the two-thirds vote needed for passage of a constitutional amendment, supporters are
revising the proposal to sway undecided senators. After a couple of hours of debate, the Senate adjourned until Monday. No vote on the amendment is expected until next week and may be delayed further.
Senate GOP leader Howard Baker defended the prayer proposal by quoting scripture, "The fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Backers have come up with a compromise that allows silent meditation in classrooms as well as vocal prayer. It permits Bible study or religious meetings on school grounds. The newest modification says students who do not wish to pray aloud must be provided a place to go.
supplied by school boards or teachers would tend to favor the religion practiced by most of the community, discriminating against minority faiths.
TO MAKE THE POINT, Lynn held a news conference with two mothers who objected to prayer sessions held by the奶奶. Okla, schools their children attended.
"It's linguistic hocus-hocus," said the Rev. Barr. Lynn of the American University of Chicago.
"Has everyone in Washington gone crazy?" asked Jo Ann Benn, who filed a 1981 lawsuit to stop the prayer sessions with the ACLU and Lacile McCord.
Bell said she was threatened by neighbors, beaten by a school worker, her home was burned down and her children were branded communists because of her objections.
Attacks in Beirut pose threat to talks
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Grenades and mortar shells exploded around Parliament yesterday, wounding six people in renewed attacks that cast a shadow over plans for next week's peace talks on the warring factions in Switzerland.
The flare-up near Beirut's "green line" coincided with fears of a possible bombing.
LEADERS OF THE Muslim and Christian factions worked separately on their strategies for the talks, set to begin Monday. Reports said that both leaders had been given by Bacut Airport, the country's lifeline, which was closed by fighting Feb. 3.
Beirut Radio said that 28 of the 91 Parliament members were gathered for an informal conference when rocket-propelled grenades and mortar shells exploded outside Villa Mansour, their official meeting place.
wounding at least six people near the "green line" dividing Christian east Beirut from the city's Muslim western sector.
Police said the shell bursts sent shrapnel tearing through the air,
THE EXPLOSIONS FORCED Parliament Speaker Kamal Asaad to scuttle a meeting, which had been called to investigate the Christian-led army's intense shelling of Shite Muslim slums. That shelling led to a Muslim revolt Feb. 6 and the army's collapse along sectarian lines.
The radio also reported sporadic artillery exchanges in the Shofu mountains between Souk el Gharb, a key Christian-held village, and the Druse Muslim towns of Bshamoun, Attat and Kaiifou.
Security officials described the shelling as light and said it did not seriously threaten a truce in effect since Sunday, the day before Christian President Amin Gemayel ended the May 17 peace accord with Israel.
Israeli displeasure over cancellation of the accord, its second peace agreement with an Arab neighbor, could lead to a partial withdrawal of
Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon, a pro-Syrian newspaper said.
Al-Sharq, a Beirut daily, said an Israeli withdrawal could ignite clashes between Muslim and Christian militias in the south and threaten to disrupt the second round of national reconciliation talks.
Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the reports, which predicted Israeli troops would move south Sunday from their front along the Aawali river to new positions on the Zahrani river.

Bush attacks 'new look' Hart image
Bush's predecessor, Walter Mondale, also toured the festival but the two did not meet.
There are 511 national convention delegates at stake in "Super Tuesday" primaries and caucuses next week.
Bush noted that Reagan had proposed reductions in medium-range and strategic missiles — proposals the Soviets had rejected.
"Just as Richard Nixon could go to China where somebody else might not have been (able to), this president can make a deal, and he can do it because he's dealing from strength, not weakness." Bush
Meanwhile, Hart and Mondale jet-hop around the "Super Tuesday" Southern states as signs of Hart's surge toward the front of the Democratic pack began popping up all over the country.
Mondale said at Lake Jackson, Fla., that he sponsored the bill in 1972 that cleaned up the lake there that year and he was paid $1 billion on enforcement of environmental protection laws as president.
IN A SPEECH to Florida Republican leaders earlier, Bush said Reagan had a better chance of winning the nuclear arms than the Democrats.
