in Lebanon on the recommendation of a top-level crisis management group, headed by Vice President Bush, that met at the White House for 90 minutes to review the situation in light of the first U.S. combat deaths since Reagan took office.
Svrians refuse withdrawal
Larry Speaks, White House press secretary, said the motive for the Shite attack on a U.S.-Lebanese checkpoint was "difficult to assess at the moment."
In almost the same breath, he added. "It is quite evident that the missing link in the peace process in Lebanon is the Syrian refusal to participate in the withdrawal of their forces

from Lebanon, and certainly we are aware of the Soviet influence on the Syrians."
continued from p.1
Administration officials were cautious to avoid laying direct blame at the Syrian's doorstep, but pointed an accusing finger by taking note of their influence over the Shites and Druze.
Speakes said Reagan ordered a legal review of the War Powers Act to ensure the administration's reporting to Congress "is consistent with requirements of the act."
The review was ordered in the face of calls by several members of Congress for invocation of a section of the law that would make the continued presence of American troops in Lebanon subject to congressional approval after 60 days.
All equipment is marked with inventory stickers indicating that the property belongs to Senate. But Bossi said the stickers did not always stay on the equipment.
"You can't expect to put an inventory sticker on a soccer net and expect it to stay on there for three years." he said.
Bossi also said equipment was difficult to track down because it had often been transferred to different rooms and buildings than what had been listed on the purchasing order.
Bossi sajd inventory shortfalls also were created when an organization changed account numbers.
he said inventories were recorded by account numbers. An organization's number will automatically change if funds are suspended for more than a year; the number can be assigned to another group, he said.
Consequently, when a group has had more than one account number over a period of time, it is unclear what inventory the group actually possesses, Bossi said.
In the future, he said, changes in account numbers would be recorded, and the inventory records would be changed to match the new account numbers. The change should help eliminate the problem of missing inventory.
Errors in recording inventory create "paper" disappearances, Bossi said.
For example, a film that Senate originally thought had been purchased was actually only rented, he said.
"Some things we thought were missing never existed," he said.
He said that much of the equipment was purchased in the 1960s and 1970s and that it was difficult to get all of the information necessary to track down the equipment.
Busby, the finance chairman, said the Senate could do little to recover missing equipment.
"If it's missing, it's missing," he said. "The only way we can effectively monitor the situation is to keep better records of what we're buying.
If the Agriculture Department declares a part of the state a disaster area, the Farmers Home Administration will send letters to farmers that will tell them to fill out application forms for the federal money. Weed said.
continued from p.1
He said the worst crop damage had occurred in eastern and northeastern Kansas. Crop damage in western Kansas is not as extensive because farmers there usually irrigate their corn. Still, irrigation is expensive, and water sometimes is unreliable.
Drought
The federal aid will be available a month after a region is declared a disaster area. Weed said.
Because the aid would most likely come as low interest loans, it would give the most help to those farmers who depend on loans for financing their operations.
"It goes to those who really need it," said Carl Spray, a Lawrence-area farmer.

THE SUMMER DROUGHT affecting the
Midwest croplands has been called the worst since the dust bowl days of the 1930s.
Henry Thornton, 60, on a tour through southeast Illinois as part of a statewide project to estimate crop damage, said field after field was destroyed by a lack of rain.
"We've had some dry years in the past—'54, '59, '64 and '80," he said, "but as far as being widespread you have to go back to '36 to see it this bad."
Block called governors and members of congress to a meeting Friday in Chicago in order to hear the governors' grievances.
Swenson, Carlin's press secretary, said Carlin would attend. Gov Christopher S. Bond of Missouri and Gov Robert D. Ray of Iowa were also among those expected to
Carl Spray, 547 Schwartz Road, examines corn on his farm east of Lawrence that has been damaged by this summer's drought. Some farmers are cutting their corn for silage, but Spray plans to harvest this field and expects about 30 bushels an acre. In good years, a crop of corn can yield more than 100 bushels an acre.
THE SQUEAL RULE:
AN EXAMPLE OF LIBERATION
LANGUAGE DESIGNED TO
DECEIVE
A federal appeals court recently ruled that the Reagan Administration exceeded its authority when it required family planning clinics receiving federal funds to notify parents when their children were being given contraceptives. Although a squeaker is one who informs in order to betray, the allegedly liberated proponents of sexual license persuade a benumbed populace to accurately applied to a clinic employee who objects to misleading the parents of a child engaged in activity which can result in pregnancy, abortion, venereal disease and cervical cancer.
DECEIVE
The dictionary tells us that to betray is "to lead astray and abandon... to fall or坠塞 esp. in time of need." With the aforementioned decision as well as others, our judiciary has managed "to lead astray... abandon... (and desert)" many young people in need of adult advice and supervision.
Black's Law Dictionary considers a minor "An infant or person... under (the age of) twenty-one." Any supposedly enlightened proclamation or judicial ruling which ignores a minor's dependent state and resultant needs has been fashioned by dogmatists committed to deceit.
