Lebanon offers to allow rebels to return to army
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Lebanese government yesterday offered to reinstate a group of renegade Drusel Muslim army officers in a concession aimed at averting a new outbreak of the disease, and dismissed the offer as a "maneuver."
Prime Minister Chefk Wazzan said reinstalations were offered in response to Saudi King Fahd's urging that the Christian-dominated government "step over some obstacles" in his security plan for the Beijing area.
THE ACTION WOULD return to the Lebanese army Drusse officers and their 300 men who deserted when the

army stepped in to stop a Druse rout of Christian Phalangist militiamen in the Shouf mountains last September.
"I think the army command will call upon those officers and soldiers today or tomorrow to rejoin the army within an appointed period of time," Wazzan said. "Then the matter will be looked into according to the principles upon which the army operates. The question of promotions is very delicate."
Promotions for the officers was one of Druse leader Walid Jumball's main demands for implementing the security plan, which calls for a disengagement of warring Druse and Shite Muslim militiamen and right-wing Christian militiamen.
The political dealing came on a day of light clashes between Druse fighters and army units in the Shouf east of Beirut, and Druse and Christian militamen in the Kharoub region to the south of the capital.
STATE-RUN BEIHIR radio said Saudi Arabian mediator Rafic Hariri flew in from Damascus late yesterday and went straight into talks with Wazzan "to clear obstacles from the implementation of the security plan."
But a spokesman for Jumblat, who earlier this week demanded Christian President Amin Gemayel resign or face retaliation, said he did not open the way for the security plan.
"We do not consider this a breakthrough for the problem of the officers. It is just a maneuver," Marwan Hamade, Jumbalta's chief political adviser, said by telephone from Damascus.
Hamade the Drusse "are not going to rejoin barracks" because the Lebanese army was still shelling Drushe sectors and Shiite Muslim sectors in Beirut.
He said Jumball wanted an overall political settlement granting the Drusue a greater say in government, but did not rule out the acceptance of a security plan first "if there is political goodwill."
DESPITE BRUSE threats of civil war, fighting has subsided since a major flare up last week that killed 40 people and wounded more than 100.
Negotiations on the security plan collapsed two weeks ago as Gemayel was about to announce acceptance of the plan. Implementation of the security plan could enable at least a partial evacuation of the Marine peacekeeping troops in Beirut.
Italian military officials announced that 200 Italians in the Borut force were killed.
armen officials said a partial withdrawal of their occupation forces in south Lebanon was being considered, but said there would be no complete withdrawal. Syrians also withdrew their troops from northern and eastern Lebanon.
In southern Lebanon, the commander of an Israeli-trained militia in the village of Ruman was assassinated by a modified gunmen, killer security sources.
Security sources said it was not clear whether the killers were Shite Muslims who oppose cooperation between the Lebanese and Israelis.

The Polish showing of the ABC film depicting the aftermath of a nuclear strike on Kansas was the first in a communist state.
WARSAW, Poland - Millions of Poisles last night watched a television broadcast of the U.S. nuclear war movie "The Day After." introduced by a commentator who blamed the missiles for accelerating the arms race.

A commentator introduced the film by stressing that the East Bloc offers to curb the nuclear arms race. He called President Beagan for its acceleration.
"THE WAR MAY start in Europe but it surely won't end here. Precisely that fear, that this time America will fall victim to world war, was possibly the main reason for making the film."
"Washington chose the arms race

"This is the right film for Americans who have never seen a real war on their territory," said a woman named Katherine of Poland in World War II.
Top army analyst Col Kazimierz Nozik told the state-ran news agency PAP, "American commanders and war theoreticians assume that a possible war will open with a strategic nuclear strike designed to kill the enemy." The capability of the Warsaw Pact nations and crush any will to resist.
Others found oddities in the film, such as a survivor's comment to another that after the holocaust, fresh oranges might be scarce.
"That's funny to a Pole. We haven't seen oranges in the shops for months." a viewer said.
HIS REMARKS, prime-time television announcements and mostly anti-Western press comment on the dangers of nuclear conflict over the last few days built up interest in the debate, broadcast of the controversial film.
"A massive use of nuclear weapons on the territories of the socialist states, including Poland, is expected to secure victory for the West."
"There is only one conclusion that can be drawn after seeing this film: A nuclear holocaust will spare nobody and the country which triggered it will wiped from the surface of the world," the independent newspaper Zycie Warszawy said.

Reagan has acid-rain control on hold, Ruckelshaus says
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The government could act to control acid rain in the next two years, but President Reagan does not think an immediate program to clean up such pollution is justified. William Rückelshaus said yesterday.
A FEW DRINKS CAN HELP YOU UNWIND AND RELAX. Maybe. But if you use alcohol like a medicine, it's time to see your doctor.
Reagan moved to improve his environmental image in the State of the Union address Wednesday night, saying he would double funding for research on the politically and scientifically explosive issue.
But he declined to advocate even a limited cleanup program to reduce the sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants and industries that were identified as the principal source of acidic air pollution.
"THERE IS A clear admission that we've got a problem on our hands." Ruckshauskai said of administration policy. "We need to understand the nature and in particular, we need to understand the pace at which it is occurring."

Environmentalists, the Canadian government and officials in Northeast-ernst states want a 50 percent reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions, coming from the oil and gas industry. They content that acidic air pollution is damaging surface waters, forests and
Kuckelshaul said that he expected further research on the issue to take no longer than two years before policy makers decide "whether we have an emergency on our hands or a much longer-term problem."
"The president is not persuaded at this point that we know enough to implement a major sulfur dioxide emissions program," said Ruckelshaus. He added that there was "no closing the door on the issue."

Turning to the equally controversial subject of toxic chemical cleanup, Ruckelshaus said that the administration would ask Congress for $640 million in the next fiscal year for the Superfund Hazardous Waste Cleanup program.
THE EPA ADMINISTRATOR said he doubted that Congress would pass an acid-rain control bill this year. Senate Environment Committee Chairman Robert Stafford, R-Vt., a strong supporter of such policies, said he was willing to push for a reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions would make it difficult for Congress to act in 1984.
Reagan said Wednesday that he supported reauthorization of the Superfund law, which expires in 1985. He also wanted $50 million in supplemental funds for the current budget to augment the waste cleanup effort.
