Lebanese government united; demands removal of troops
BEIIRT—Fearing an invasion of West Beirut, the Lebanese government united yesterday and for the first time demanded the withdrawal of all shelling on Beirut.
But a three-day-old truce began to crumble with artillery exchanges across the capital.
The cabinet endorsed a peace plan also calling for the establishment of a multi-national force in Lebanon amid reports that Israel was losing patience with U.S. Envoy Philip Habib's efforts to negotiate a settlement of the 39-day-old war.
PLO leader Yasser Arafat said the negotiations were definitely making progress...
However, a senior Israeli official told reporters in Jerusalem that Habib's negotiations in Beirut were "back to square one" - stalement by the United States.
Israeli officials said Prime Minister Menachem Begin had agreed to a U.S. request to give Habib more time. But Habib himself was reported to have told Lebanese officials the Israelis had given him "only a few more hours" to escape and given his corps trapped in West Beirut along with several hundred thousand civilians.
Senate committee approves Shultz
WASHINGTON — The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted unanimously yesterday to approve George Shultz as the nation's 60th secretary of state.
Chairman Charles Percy, R-III, said the full Senate would vote promptly on the nomination. But the Senate leadership announced later it had failed in a bid to waive the normal 24-hour waiting period after committee action so confirmation could come before today.
The committee vote was 17-7. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., the only member not present for the vote, later also joined his colleagues in supporting the
The committee voted to confirm Shultz's nomination after 12 hours of hearings during two days.
The low-key session was in sharp contrast to the often acromiun five-day houring the committee had before approving Shultz's predecessor, Joseph W. Hewlett.
Nuclear plant's spillways kill fish
WASHINGTON—A study by a branch of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has stated that millions of fish have been killed in the Neosho River because of spillways leading into the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station near Burlington.
The study recommended that the fish kills and wastes deposited in the river continue to be monitored, but said that the benefits from the plant could be assessed only after more extensive studies.
Last February, the Kansas Fish and Game Commission asked that fish kills in the area be monitored. The NRC's五一年度 study showed that more than 105 million fish, including catfish shad, white bass and trout, are being removed ever yearly, always leading from the John Redmond Reservoir into the plant's dam site.
The study recommended that the fish kills and wastes deposited in the river continue to be monitored, but said that the benefits from the plant would outweigh the adverse effects to the environment and society. environment would be likely to occur from the station's operation, and that the 385 plant workers would face dangers that were comparable to risks in other occupations.
Inquiry continues into plane crash
KENNER, La.—The New Orleans control tower that issued a “wind shear” alert shortly before a Pan American jet crashed last Friday seemingly violated federal regulations by failing to follow up the alert with a report of wind conditions, investigators confirmed yesterday.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating whether wind shears—sudden, dangerous shifts in wind speed and direction—might have caused the crash.
The weight of the 727-200 jeller, weather conditions and engine performance are key aspects of the federal inquiry.
A federal investigator asked the plane, which plunged into a residential area moments after taking off in treacherous winds and heavy rains, as it skipped over a hill.
An NTSB spokeswoman in Washington confirmed that five wind shear alerts were issued by the New Orleans International Airport control tower in Chicago.
Preliminary data showed the plane descended shortly after liftoff, then climbed slightly. The jets airspeed also dropped shortly after liftoff.
A New Orleans newspaper, in a copyright story, quoted unidentified federal investigators as saying win shear conditions and a heavy load kept the workers from working.
But NTSB spokesman Brad Dunbar declined to speculate on whether the weight and weather could have combined to force the plane down.
ERA re-introduced in Congress
WASHINGTON—TheEqual Rights Amendment was re-introduced in Congress yesterday, and House Speaker Thomas O'Neill told an ERA rally
Judiciary Committee chairman Peter Rodino, with 208 co-sponsors, reintroduced the controversial proposed constitutional amendment in the House, and Sen. Paul Tsonsas, D-Mass., with 50 co-sponsors, introduced it in the Senate.
Afterwards, members of Congress joined several hundred ERA advocates and politicians at the rally on a typically hot and steamy Washington sunny day.
One group of women silently unfurled a green banner with the words of the amendment across the steps of the Capitol's west front. Others held aloft banners proclaiming: "ERA Won't Go Away," and "Put Women in the Constitution."
The crowd, mostly women, cheered old ERA slogans and hissed and booed at any mention of President Rangan, who opposed the ERA, or Phyllis
The new amendment reads the same as the earlier version. It says:
"Equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by any state on account of"
"unjustifiable behavior."
In introducing the amendment in the House, Rodino said: "We have traveled far. We came close. We cannot stop now. Fairness, decency and simple justice demand that while there is still discrimination, the struggle for equality must go on."
Movies lured 160 million in June
HOLLYWOOD—Led by "E. T," the film industry lured an unprecedented milion people in U.S. theatre for a total box office of more than $500 million.
The magazine's key city box-office sample of 20 or more major film markets showed that between June 2 and the Fourth of July holiday weekend, Americans spent nearly $502 million on movie tickets at an average national composite price of $3.10.
"E.T.'* accounted for 18 percent of the total box office business in June, but "Star Trek II" and "Rocky III" each drew about 21 percent of the box office revenue.
Two other films, "Firefox" and "Annie," accounted for about 5 percent each.
Those six movies accounting for more than half the box office business—57 percent—came from a crop of 18 major releases.
