Shamir is chosen to form next Israeli administration
JERUSALEM — Yitzhak Shamir was chosen yesterday to form Israel's next government, virtually assuring the continuation of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin's hardline leadership.
President Chaim Herzog formally asked Shamir, 67, Israel's foreign minister, to lead the nation's next administration, giving him 21 days to present his Likud-led coalition to the Knesset, or parliament, for approval.
Roni Milo, the coalition parliamentary whip, said a new government could be formed within a week. Shamir has the support of all six parties in Begin's coalition, ensuring him of up to 64 of the 120 votes in the Knesset.
Herzog and Shamir telephoned Begin from the president's office before making the announcement.
"I asked him for his advice and guidance in the future," Shamir said about Begin. "He promised to stand by me, when I ask him to."
Isolation of AIDS victims criticized
BOSTON — Trying to combat the largest "health scare since the Bubonic plague," a task force on the killer disease AIDS recommended yesterday that AIDS victims not be isolated and, in some situations, keep jobs in hospitals.
The task force of San Francisco-area health officials also said in its guidelines, which were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, that it was "inexcusable" for health workers to refuse to treat AIDS patients.
But it said such workers are not obligated to give direct mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
The committee of 26 doctors, nurses and health officials reported "infection-control guidelines" for hospitals treating patients with AIDS, a disease that strips its victims — mostly homosexuals — of their immune systems.
Chemical plant explosion injures 4
SALISBURY, N.C. — Explosions rocked a textile chemical plant yesterday, injuring four workers and causing nearby residents to flee. Fourteen firefighters were burned by chemicals, and a policeman suffered smoke inhalation.
"It sounded like a bomb, like the whole house was falling," said Ophelia Yates, 68, who saw metal tossed into her yard. "It was an awful noise and towards my house."
Two plant workers were hospitalized. The rest of the injured were treated in Rowan Memorial Hospital's emergency room.
Acid rain top concern for EPA head
WASHINGTON — Environmental Protection Agency Administrator William Kuckelshaus said Tuesday that he was spending an extraordinary amount of time struggling with the acid rain question as he prepared pollution-control options to show President Reagan next
A check of Ruckelshaus' appointment calendars for August and September indicates the EPA chief is in the midst of an intensifying series of meetings with top officials at the White House, federal agencies, the utility industry and environmental groups.
This month, the political and scientific questions surrounding the acid rain issue occupy as much as two-thirds of his time at EPA.
"It is the kind of problem you have to spend a lot of time on because there are so many parts of society affected by it," Ruckelshaus said.
Smoke hurts kids' lungs, study shows
BOSTON — Children who grow up around smoking mothers may suffer stunted lung development in yet another indication that inhaling others' smoke may be hazardous to the health, doctors reported yesterday.
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine of more than 1,100 Boston children found that those who had smoking mothers had impaired lung development — and that by the time they had stopped smoking, their lungs were about 4 to 5 percent less than what they otherwise would have been.
"This doesn't mean the children are sick — it's just their lung development on average was impaired from what the maximum potential would have been," said Ira Tager of the Channing Laboratory of Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Rebels assault Lebanese posts
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syrian-backed rebels, advancing in darkness with a barrage of tank and artillery fire, launched repeated assaults on Lebanese army troops after they had beheaded the U.S. ambassador's residence.
By United Press International
Beirut radio said that U.S. Navy vessels offshore had shelled the rebel positions in the Shofu mountains above the capital for the third straight day. There was no immediate confirmation of the naval shelling from U.S. officials.
The night-time attack on Souk al Gharb in the Shouf mountains overlooking Beirut came after the army beat back a two-pronged attack on the village. The army said it had inflicted "heavy losses" on the rebels.
AN ARMY COMMUNIQUE said government troops were pushing back the night attack in some of the fiercest fighting since civil war erupted in the Israeli occupied Gaza Strip, before Israel occupation troops pulled out of the Shouf mountains.
In Washington, President Reagan said that the Middle East plan he proposed last year would not have a threat to Lebanon, and were not achieved in Lebanon soon.
At a White House luncheon with broadcasters yesterday, Reagan defended U.S. military involvement in the hot spots as an American obligation
U. S. Ambassador Robert Dillon was not at home when shells began falling around his hill-top residence in suburban Yarze in the afternoon but was in when new shelling began in the evening.
"I can hear shells around here,"
"I can hear a few shells an one
very clearly."
"when freedom is on the line" any-
where in the world.
EARLIER SHELLING HIT the residence of the French embassy's residential compound but Ambassador Fernand-Wibaux were elsewhere in the city and there were no reported casualties.
"Tanks are trying to advance from Aley, but we are resisting and pushing them back. We are retaliating," the army said, adding that the attack began when Syrian-backed Drusue forces clashed with the mobile artillery began moving on Souk el Gharb from the town of Aley, two miles to the north.
During the battle, the rebels also shelled the makeshift airship 20 miles north of Beirut that the government has been trying to capture. A庐军 air strikes against the Druse.
In Damascus, Syria warned Lebanon against relying on the U.S. Marines and American naval shelling to defeat its druse allies.
"THE UNIFIED STATES policy of depending on artillery and ships will have a greater impact."
It was the second time Dillon's residence has been shelled in two days. U.S. Navy warships blasted rebel positions with 5-inch guns Monday and Tuesday after shelling forced Dillon out of the residence.
gambling on the American presence will lose."
Both U.S. and Lebanese military experts say Souk al Gharb is essential to the government's defense of Beirut because it commands the heights in the Shouf mountains overlooking the capital.
AMERICAN ARTILLERY SPOTTERS were sent to the village Tuesday to help direct naval gunfire on the rebels from U.S. 6-8 Fleet vessels offshore.
The shelling of Dillon's residence was part of a larger artillery and rocket attack on Beirut that began late Tuesday night. Police reported that at least 11 civilians were killed and 65 wounded in the attack, burned out of control during the night.
Secretary of State George Shultz, testifying before Congress, said the Syrians were playing the spoiler's role with Soviet encouragement.
"The problem, of course, has been Syria," Shultz said. "The two tracks of Lebanon's policy — foreign troop withdrawal and national reconciliation
— have both been blocked by Syria, which has been heavily rearmed by the Soviet Union since Syria's defeat in battle last summer."
Committee urges treaty to enforce chem weapon ban
WASHINGTON — The Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent to the Senate yesterday a resolution urging the United States to insist on a tough, on-site verification agreement with the Soviets to enforce a ban on chemical weapons.
By United Press International
The United States submitted a comprehensive ban on chemical weapons February at the Geneva disarmament conference that emphasized the importance of mandatory on-site inspection of facilities, although permitted under international treaties, carry a risk of misuse.
The resolution, introduced by Sen. Larry Pressler, R.S.D., was approved Tuesday by the panel and sent to the Senate yesterday.
It says evidence suggests that the Soviets are engaged in the use of chemical warfare in Southeast Asia and Afghanistan.
It urges negotiations with the Sovietis and other nations to enforce existing bans on chemical, biological and toxic weapons with on-demand, on-site inspection when necessary.
