Heavy fighting blocks Beirut peace effort
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Heavy fighting erupted yesterday among Lebanon's warring factions, complicating efforts by U.S. Middle East envoy Donald Rumsfeld and Saudi Arabia to bring peace to the capital.
As Rumfsfeld returned from talks with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem, fighting raged near the U.S. Marine base and Druse Muslim gunmen later deterred its reticence in the mountains overlooking Beirut, state-run Beirut radio said.
At least one person was reported killed, the radio said.
A small bomb exploded in a garage 50 yards from the French Embassy in
west Beirut, a French spokesman said. The blast followed two days of attacks on the French in which one French soldier died. A U.S. Marine was killed Sunday.
RUMSFELD, AFTER talks with Lebanese leaders, hoped to访 Syrian Foreign Minister Abdel Halim Khadam to discuss the lack of progress in agreeing on a Saudi-inspired security plan for Beirut, Lebanon's official National News Agency said.
Rumfsel planned to travel to Damascus before another round of talks among the Lebanese, Syrian and Saudi foreign ministers Monday during an Islamic conference at Casablanca, Morocco, the agency said.
The security plan, calling for the Lebanese army to take over some
areas controlled by warring Muslim and Christian factions in Beirut, was shelled after Drusse leader Walid Jumball refused to accept it unless key demands were met by the Christian-led government.

Maj. Dennis Brooks, the Marine
spokesman, said there was "very heavy fighting on around us" in the morning but later reported only sporadic clashes in the Shofu mountains a few miles east of the 1,200 Marines at Beirut airport.
The Lebanese army battled with Shiite Muslim rebels in poor neighborhoods northeast of the airport, Belirut radio said.
In a clash between government troops and Druse militiamen, mortar and artillery fire thundered around Khalde, an army-held junction just south of the airport, and Shoufaie, a stronghold in the toothful peebay.

N. Korea calls for negotiations with S. Korea
By United Press International
SEOUL, South Korea — In a major policy reversal, North Korea yesterday called for peace talks with South Korea and the United States, warning that a new war on the divided peninsula could erupt into nuclear conflict.
South Korea immediately rejected the offer, saying it would prefer to negotiate alone at first and then make responsibility for the Rangoon, Burma bombing that killed
four South Korean cabinet ministers on Oct. 9.
The proposal, reported by the official North Korean Central News Agency in a dispatch monitored in Tokyo, said the peace plan was adopted Tuesday at a joint meeting of the Pyongyang parliament and Communist Party
"Should a war break out again in Korea, it would not be confined within the boundary of Korea but could inevitably expand into a nuclear war." the KCNA said, quoting from a letter being sent to Seoul and Washington.
In Washington, President Reagan discussed the proposal briefly Tuesday with visiting Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang and said China should be included in the talks
Pyongyang yesterday for the first time recognized President Chun Doo Hwan's government as the "South Korean authorities" and officially called for the first direct talks with Seoul since the last round failed in 1973.
It had previously called for talks with only the United States.
