Almanac predicts cold, early winter
DUBLIN, N.H. — The Old Farmer's Almanac, the nation's oldest continuously published periodical, says you'd better tune up your wood stove because winter is going to set in early and "with a bite."
As inevitable as fall foliage, the Almanac's forecaster, "Abe Weatherwise," is out with his annual predictions, which are to be 80 percent accurate and which some New England Yankees prefer over the weathermen on television.
If you think that Old Abe has lost something around the edges in the 192 years that the Almanac has been published, it should be noted that he accurately forecast the huge April blizzard that crippled New England a few years ago.
"Weatherwise" said that this winter would come early, packing colder than normal air, but that it would bring normal amounts of snowfall.

WAKANKA, Japan — The Soviet Union turned over clothing, wreckage, 'seat cushions and magazines yesterday from the downed Korean Air Lines plane. The crew picked up hints that the Soviets might be withholding some remains.
Soviets suspected of keeping remains from airliner

Asked whether he thought that the Soviets had turned over everything they found, a U.S. official aboard the Japanese patrol boat Tsugaru responded: "They said it was everything—but do you believe in Santa Claus?"

The material did not include any bodies of the 269 people who were killed nor the plane's flight recorder, the number of other aircraft information and other flight information.
THE SOVIETS turned over only those articles they found floating on the surface of the sea or washed up on the shores of Moneron or Sakhalin islands, said the U.S. official, who declined to be identified.
There were 61 Americans aboard
He said he asked the Soviets about submerged wreckage reportedly retrieved by their search ships west of Sakhalin and they responded. "All we have to discuss is the stuff floating on the surface."
"I asked the Soviets whether they had found any bodies and they told us no body had been found." Minoruki reported reporters on returning to Wakanaki.

THE OBJECTS released by the Soviets at the port of Novelsk in southwestern Sakhalin island included fishing and pieces of aircraft fuselage.

In Washington, the State Department protested to the Soviet embassy, for refusing to let Korea take part in the pickup on Sakhalin.
It also indicated Moscow was not authorized to search for wreckage in international waters because Korea — which owned the plane — asked only the U.S. and Japan to conduct recovery operations.

THE JAPANESE patrol boat Tsugari, stripped of its guns to avoid any encounter with the Soviets, picked in the carbo and returned to Wakkanai.
Five crates of objects, observed by newsmen in the northern Japanese port of Wakkana, contained numerous pieces of clothing, including suits, dresses and slacks which appeared to be in relatively good condition.
Wreckage included seat cushions, life jackets, blankets, insulation, metal parts, newspapers, magazines and a book containing "technical flight data," according to reporters on the scene.
Cease-fire news met with skepticism in Lebanon
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — U.S. Marines, doubtful that the latest cease-fire will end the civil war in Lebanon, stayed close to their foxholes yesterday, and Lebanese civilians emerged from their bomb shelters terrorized and confused — and skeptical.
"I don't think you've talked to is giving much thought to the cease-fire," said 1st Lt. Glenn Dolphin, 25, Parkersburg, Va.
"When it gets down to it, I'm not too optimistic about the cease-fire holding." Dolphin said as he and his men entered the city's airfires around their foxholes.
Lance Cpl. Guy Martin, filling sandbags nearby, was even more
pessimistic about the chances for peace. "I don't think it will last," Martin said of the cease-fire that went into effect at 6 a.m. (11 p.m. CDT).
THE SKEPTICISM and caution were understandable. Four Marines have been killed and 36 wounded since Lebanon's religious and political facets collapsed, killing 26 after Israeli troops pulled out of Berat and its surrounding mountains.
And before the shooting died down Monday, Lebanon's warring factions laid down a barrage of artillery fire, and Marines were wounded Sunday night.
Despite the quiet during the day yesterday, the Marines were taking no chances. Most of them stayed inside their foxholes behind 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ feet of sandbags.

"Last night was the first time we've taken artillery rounds inside this position, so people are more afraid to be found." said Staff Set. William Bruder
"Yesterday, I was as scared as I've ever been in my life," said Lance Cp Dwayne Hall, 21, from Falls Church, Va.
Meanwhile, residents of the war torn city were skerned the calm would last.
"There have been so many cease-fires in the past eight years, I just don't believe in them any more," said a Christian housewife, who asked not to be identified.
In the Christian part of the country where rockets and mortars had poured from Syrian-occupied territories, mountains like the highways streamed into the capital.
THEY LEFT their mountain and summer resort refuges to check on their homes in Beirut, retrieve belongings, stop at banks to get cash "because this accord is just a truce in disguise," the housewife said.
A businessman conceded that he took advantage of the first day of cease-fire to go to a bank and transfer some of his capital out of the country.
"I don't think this is a cause-fire," he said. "I'm planning to get myself and my family ready for the worst. Who will then the war will flare up again."
