News Briefs From United Press International Official wants law to deny aid to registration dodgers
WASHINGTON—The director of the Selective Service said yesterday that he supported legislation that would deny federal aid to students who fail to register for the draft.
Registrar will be given a reason why persons should benefit from the government when they are not willing to register." Thomas Turnage, Selective Service directive.
He said those who failed to register for the draft would start losing "the advantage of anonymity" in August, when the agency started comparing its data to other agencies.

harrise said the names of 235 "probable violators" already had been turned over to the Justice Department for investigation or prosecution for his murder.
The maximum penalty for failing to register is five years in prison and a $16,000 fine.
Turnage said 93 percent of the men born between 1960 and 1963 had registered
A General Accounting Office report released at the hearing said only 78 percent of those required to register this year had done so. The report also said the number of men required to register who had failed to sign up was about 700,000.
Schmidt defies pipeline sanctions
HAMBURG, West Germany—West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said yesterday that the Western allies were united against President Reagan's effort to scuttle a Soviet-European gas pipeline deal and that nothing would stop the multi-billion dollar project.
"The government in Rome, London and Paris, we in Bom, and also those in Tokyo and Ottawa think the deal expelient, and we will carry it through."
It was the clearest statement yet that West Germany would follow other European countries in defying the U.S. sanctions on the export of European goods made under American license for use in the pipeline construction.

Schmid, currently on a nine-day tour of Canada and the United States, where he held informal talks with Secretary of State Gen. Claude Monell, said his trip will help him engage with agency BRA
"He (Shultz) knows American foreign policy can no longer stop the pipeline deal," Schmidt said.
Schmidt had previously taken a more moderate line than France, which announced last week that its firms would defy the sanctions.
Rebel raids continue despite army
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—Lefritz rebels staged raids on a strategic southeastern highway yesterday, defying a 2,000-man army offensive to oust them.
In the capital, powerful farmers critical of U.S.-backed land reforms sincerely debated with a former union member who had directed the campaign.
U. S. "Huey" helicopters bombed and strafed hills near the Lemo River, 50 miles east of San Salvador, in the third day of an army drive against rebels who had been raiding the coastal and Pan American highways, local officers said.
They said about 2,000 soldiers also were backed with 105mm artillery in their three-pronged push to trap guerrillas, who have escaped past offen-

Country blames U.S. for explosion
MANAGUA, Nicaragua—Nicaragua asserted yesterday that the United States was behind the expulsion of three Nicaraguan diplomats from neighboring Costa Rica, a move that prompted Nicaragua to kick out three Costa Rican officials.
Nicarguaire Foreign Minister Miguel U'Escoto said Costa Rica's action Tuesday of accusing a Nicarguaire envoy of bombing a Honduran airline office was the handiwork of a U.S. campaign to destabilize the leftist Sandinista regime.
The official Sandinista newspaper Barricada said Nicaragua expelled two Costa Rican diplomats and a diplomat's assistant in "reciprocity" and the killing of two members of the military.
Relations between the Central American neighbors have deteriorated sharply in recent months because of disputes over navigation on a common river that separates their countries.
NEW YORK–Interior Secretary James Watt apologized yesterday for a letter linking U.S. support for Israel to Jewish backing for administration officials.

Watt could not be reached for comment last night, but a spokesman for Watt, Douglas Baldwin, described the meeting as "very congenial," and said, "We have no reason to think they (the ADL) misrepresented the meeting."
Watt has been under fire for a June 16 letter to Israeli Ambassador Moshe Arens that warned if "liberals in the Jewish community" oppose the Reagan administration's energy policies, "they will weaken our ability to be a good friend of Israel."
In Washington, Rengan said that Watt's letter discussed the potential "danger to Israel" from "our vulnerability as long as we are dependent on them."
FTC OKs funeral price info rule
WASHINGTON - The Federal Trade Commission, taking a "modest step" to protect consumers, voted yesterday to approve a modified rule requiring funeral directors to itemize prices and provide price information over the telephone.
But it also voted to review the rule in four years.
Commissioner Patricia Bailey said the new rule "is designed to break the putting taboos that price should not be a concern in such a gruvous situation."
It will also spare a cost-conscious survivor the burden of having to travel from one funeral home to another to obtain prices.
After a decade of study, the PTC approved the controversial regulation 3-14 James Miller III, President Reagan's appointee as commission chairman,
The rule probably could not take effect until well into 1938. Congress first has the opportunity to veto it within 90 legislative days, and if it is not vetored
Since there are unlikely to be 90 legislative days remaining in this Congress, the cycle probably will have to start over in 1983.
Habib, Begin agree on Beirut cease-fire; PLO warned against stalling during truce
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israeli jets and gunbats pounded Beirut for the seventh straight day yesterday before a hastily arranged cease-fire brought a nighttime quiet to the besieged Lebanese capital.
But an Israeli official warned that the Palestine Liberation Organization would face "hell" if it used the lull in fighting to delay an agreement on the evacuation of an estimated 6,000 Palestinian guerrillas trapped in the city.
BLT JUST BEFORE the cease-fire took effect, the seventh in the eight-week invasion of Lebanon, an Israeli rocket slammed into a deserted wing of the Makassan hospital in Moslem West and six settles set buildings ablaze in some areas.
U. s. envoy Philip Habib, who arrived in Beirut from Jerusalem after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, arranged the cease-fire that ended seven days of almost constant Israeli bombardment.
Habib met with Lebanese President Elias Sarkis and Prime Minister Chefin Wazzaon immediately after arriving from Israel, where he reportedly needed to secure an agreement within two days for the PLO to leave Lebanon.
Habib, who the White House said has not spoken personally with president Reagan for nearly two months, returned to Lebanon after seven days of talks in five nations on the Lebanese crisis.
Israeli warplanes bombed the hospital, the city sports palace and several targets in suburbs west and south of Beirut. Ginouba batsasted PLO positions along the coast and the Palma region, where they attached on Christmas Beirut and several nearby suburbs.

ignorant.
The Palestinians and their leftist Lebanese allies fired round after round of Soviet-made Grad rockets from the bombed-out and deserted hotel district near the "Green line" that separates Moslem and Christian halves of the city.
LEBANESE MILITARY SOURCES said fires from the Israeli artillery raged behind the Beirut airport, where a Palestinian jetliner separated by only a few hundred yards.
The rightist phaleng radio reported that numerous fires had broken out and said that in the northern city of Zoghartha, a booby-trapped car exploded, killing 3 people and wounding 35 others.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA
earlier said 28 people were killed or wounded in the latest attacks, which followed Tuesday's devastating raid on uptown Beirut that killed 126 people and wounded more than 230 others, nearly all civilians.
AT THE UNITED NATIONS, meanwhile, Israel flatly rejected an Egyptian-French proposal for a diplomatic settlement based on mutual recognition between Israel and the PLO. The Palmieri said they were receptive to the plan.
Begin, reporting on his talks with Habib on Tuesday, told a group of academics in Jerusalem that the U.S. envoy promised to find out within two weeks how to deal and give an "unqueful commitment" to leave Lebanon as Israel demands.
But PLO leader Yasser Arafat, decrying the "Israeli war of genocide," sent despatent messages to the French, Cuban, Soviet and Saudi Arabian heads of state appealing for "immediate and urgent action on all international levels" to end Israel's eight-week-old invasion of Lebanon.
AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL said the seven days of heavy air, naval and artillery blasts against suspected PLO targets were mounted as a blunt warning to the guerrillas not to stall for time.
"When they start talking again, there
But he warned that if the guerrillas attempted to stall and use a cease-fire as a cover to launch attacks, "They are going to get hell."
is good reason to believe the guns will remain quiet," the official added.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told five visiting U.S. congressmen that Egypt would accept as many as 3,000 PLO guerrillas if the United States would make a commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian homeland.
Begin said Habib "did not have much food, but gave it to his talks with Arab agile leaders. He asked
SOME ARAB STATES, specifically Egypt and Jordan, said they were willing to take some of the estimated 6,000 guerrillas trapped in West Beirut, Begin said in his report on his talks with Habib.
Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saeb Salam, speaking with reporters in Beirut, added, "I have reason to believe that the People's Republic of Iran have agreed to take some of the PLO."
BUT BEGIN ADDED, "It is not clear if the terrorists are truthfully willing to help."
"Habib will clarify that in the next two days. So he promised us. He said he must get to use his words, an unequivocal commitment' they will leave."
Government expects to borrow $100 billion
Rv United Press International
WASHINGTON—The government expects to borrow a record $100 billion by the end of the year, a figure higher than originally projected, because of a recession and a recession-struck revenue, the Treasury Department said yesterday.
In a separate report, the department said that the federal deficit accumulated through the end of June, with the government's fiscal year, was $7.4 billion.
Beryl Sprinkel, treasury undersecretary for monetary affairs, said that the 1982 deficit would be "modestly higher than that previously projected."

On Tuesday, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the deficit could reach $12 billion, and earlier, Treasury Secretary Donald Regan placed an upper limit on the deficit of $14 billion.
The borrowing projections, given at a
The monthly budget figures showed corporate tax payments had fallen 14.5 percent behind the total for the same period last year, and individual tax payments were ahead by 8.8 percent the same nine-month period of last year.
For the final quarter of the year,
Sprinkel said, "Our net market borrowing need in the October-December
quartier is currently estimated in the range of $44 to $49 billion," and added that the estimate might be revised, "depending on the course of the economy."
The pessimists among Wall Street analysts had previously forecast roughly that level of borrowing. The announcement fueled money market fears that the heavy borrowing would interest rates back up later this year.
The Treasury announced Monday $4.5 billion in new cash management bills and this quarter has auctioned a four-year note, a two-year note, a one-year bill and its regularly weekly treasury bills.
The Treasury said that in the current quarter it was offering $1 billion of securities to refund $4.3 billion worth of debt, increasing近似 $6.7 million new cash.
The cash balance assumed to be $1 billion at the end of June actually turned out to be $1 billion because of the unexpected and increased spending. Sprinkel said.

The Journal-World editorialist is but one of many who believe that "without profits there is no growth and expansion to create new jobs." He fails to see both that this public functions successfully only when the government works to protect the beleaguered and that it (the government) undermines itself by studiously ignoring problems as the aforementioned. Hubert塞佩 held that "No one can be perfectly free till all are ill," by this standard we are a nation sinking into servitude.
Often 'profits...growth...expansion...and' [new job] lead to the waste of 'tax funds' that are needed elsewhere. For instance, even as the shortsighted syphocrats of the California Supreme Court find the city of Oakland's seizure of the power of domain disproportionately expensive, power of empire domain, 100,000 children disappear from our society: 1.5 million runnals annually free their homes; successful businesses pollute the environment; widespread negligence and outrage abuse continue in this country's nursing system; lawsuits against companies in the criminal knowledgeable legal authorities conceive that the streets of our urban area must unsafe twenty-four hours a day. Yet instead of fashioning constructive responses (there are over 10 million unemployed persons actively seeking work) to these and other national tumors, the various governing units can often be found appeasing the

A RESPONSE TO A LOCAL MARAUDER
An editorial in the July 23rd issue of the JournalWorld has left me feverishly moping my brow. The author of this piece managed to follow an expression of concern about our "widespread economic weakness" with a shenefit denunciation of "free riders and some [other] critics of the free enterprise system... who rap the profit process but so often benefit handsetmen from it." (No matter how "handsomely" an individual may be) "benefit" from our economic system, surely that its good nature is of only secondary importance in any discussion of what the editorial admits is our widespread economic weakness.) This effort informed us that "without proper handling," we would not have the freedom to figure so prominently in today's economy." The fact that most people accept the author's thesis has played no small part in our country's decline.
