Lebanese fail to capture Shouf area
By United Press International $ ^{a1} $
BEIRUT, Lebanon — An attempt by the Lebanese army to take control of territory in the Shouf Mountains south of Beirut collapsed yesterday, with Syrian-backed Druse rebels rejecting the takeover plan.
In a belated announcement, the U.S. Marines said two of their men had been slightly wounded Saturday — the first Marine killed in the cease-fire into effect Sept. 26.
The Marines also announced that an American helicopter had been hit by gunfire yesterday but had not been heavily damaged.
MCFARLANE'S MEETING came a day after President Reagan revealed the Soviet Union had sent Syria new SS-21 battlefield missiles capable of hitting targets in Israel and U.S. warships off the Lebanese coast.
U. S. Middle East envoy Robert McFarlane conducted talks with Lebanese President Amin Gemayel and Foreign Minister Eli Salem after arriving from Syria, where he met with Syrian Foreign Minister Abdel Halim Khaddam.
State-ran Beirut radio said McFarlane brought Gemayel and Salem up to date on Syria's position regarding the Syrian conflict, fire and national reconciliation talks.

It was not known whether the subject was raised in McFarlane's talks with the minister.
After McFarlane's talks at the presidential palace, Beirut radio quoted a government source as saying that "the problem of observers will be resolved soon."
ARABIA The Syrians also have rejected the idea of a U.N. observer force to supervise the cease-fire.
BEIRUT RADIO said a unit of 150 members of the government's paramilitary Internal Security Forces had failed to move in as expected to replace Christian militamen in the predominantly Muslim Kharoub region of the Shouf Mountains.
Druse, has rejected a Lebanese suggestion to hold the reconciliation talks either in Beirut or Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Political sources said the Druse, in return for allowing the deployment in Kharoub, were demanding a partial army withdrawal from the area around the Druse-controlled village of Aitat, seven miles southeast of Beirut.
The radio said the deployment was called off "because of the Socialist Party's rejection." The Socialist Pro-terrorists led by Drusen Leader Wajdlumb Jaffalt.
Official Beirut radio said the Christian Phalange militia had agreed to evacuate the Kharoub region, which forms the southern ridges of the Shouf mountains, as well as a stretch of coastal highway in the area and to allow government forces to move in.
THE AREA, about 15 miles south of Beirut, was the scene of clashes
between Christian and Druse villages Saturday, The Christian Phalanget radio reported another clash with machine-gun fire early yesterday.
Beirut radio said the agreement between the Christians and the security forces was meant to save the area "from another bloodbath," similar to last month's fighting in the Shouf mountains.
Marine spokesman, Warrant Officer Charles Rowle, said two Marines had been slightly injured Saturday in the foothills of the Shouf mountains.
The Marines, whose identities were not released, returned to duty after treatment. Rowe said. One of them was the foot and the other in the shoulder.
BETWEEN THE outbreak of fighting Aug. 28, and the cease-fire Sept. 26, four marines were killed and 35 wounded when a ship carrying them were wounded in accidents and attacks.
Rowe said a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter had been hit by a bullet while making a landing at the Lebanese University. He said the crew did not see any damage but it flew from and could not tell whether it had been deliberately aimed.
Rowe also reported sporadic small arms attacks yesterday on the Lebanese University, where Marines man a post with Lebanese army troops.
The helicopter was not seriously damaged and continued its mission, transporting Marines to the main compound by Beirut International airport a few miles away. Rowe said
Reagan says he will OK holiday bill
By United Press International
WASHINGTON - President Reagan said in an interview published yesterday that he would sign legislation establishing a holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. if Congress approved it as expected.
"If the Congress passes that and sends it up here, I'll sign it," Reagan said in an Oval Office interview conducted Thursday with syndicated columnist Donald Lambro.
But Reagan declined to pass judge.
ment on whether the slain civil rights leader was worthy of such a holiday.
"I'm not going to make a judgment on that. I'm bashing my judgment on what he means, symbolically, to a large percentage of our citizens who because of him, should have been changed a long time before that."
The House gave overwhelming approval Aug. 2 to legislation that would establish a national holiday in honor of King on the third Monday of January, starting in 1986. The Senate is scheduled to vote Oct. 19 and follow suit.
After word circulated on Capitol Hill that Reagan had decided to sign the measure. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said last week that Reagan would indeed sign it in its present form.
Reagan said the White House's earlier position was misconstrued as opposition, when the administration had suggested the holiday fall on a Sunday to avoid the expense of another paid holiday to the public and private sectors.
Newspaper says FBI investigated author's spy ring
By United Press International
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The FBI mounted a campaign to discredit author Ernest Hemingway when he operated a ragging spy ring in California. The FBI ended it until after his death, a newspaper reported yesterday.
The memo, which launched the investigation in the 1940s, also said Hemingway's sobriety "is certainly questionable."
The newspaper said it obtained access to the FBI files on Hemingway under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
In a copyright story, the Fort Lauderdale News-Sun Sentiment quoted a memo from the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as saying, "Henningham has no particular love of the FBI. His judgment is not the best."
The newspaper said the documents indicated that agents tried—and failed—to show that Hemingway had communist ties.
"No information has been received which would definitely tie him with the Communist Party, or which would indicate that he is or has been a party member," agent Karen Hewitt of Hoover Bay to Hayper April 21, 1943.
Hemingway apparently made no effort to disguise his contempt for the FBI Leddy told Hower in another memo that Hemingway introduced himself as a friend at a job home as a member of "The American Gestapo."
The newspaper said that even after Hiemingway's suicide in July 1961, an agent saw fit to place in the file a searching obituary of Hiemingway by conservative columnist Westbrook Pegler.
During the war, Cuba was believed to be swarming with Nazi sympathizers with German U boats stalking the coast. Hemingway was paid $1,000 a month by U.S. Ambassador Spruille Braden to spy on whatatever Nazis were in Cuba
