Many leaders of those countries are worried that a conflict could break out in the region. The sources said the administration assigned Habib both to create a "national reconciliation" in Lebanon by extending the four-month-old ceasefire in the southern part of Syria. Officials said a strong government in Lebanon would help eliminate the need for the Syrian peace-keeping force that now patrols Lebanon. The force is in Lebanon because there is danger of a clash between Syria and Israel, the officials said.

Billions spent on arms, expert says The expert, Ruth Leger Sivard, is the author of a 1981 report on world military and social expenditures. WASHINGTON—The world now spends $550 billion a year on arms, an amount equal to the combined annual income of the poorest half of the world. The arms expenditures include $100 billion to the world's nuclear weapons stockpile, which is already one-million times more powerful than the nuclear weapon used in Iraq.

Republicans question Democratic recovery The domination of the Republican Party in the 1980 elections has left the future of the Democratic Party uncertain, according to state Republicans. By JIM CHAPPELL Staff Reporter "They are in pretty bad shape," Merlyn Brown, executive director of the Republican Party in Kansas, said recently. In contrast, many Democrats feel they are on the road to recovery. "We feel that we lost some races that we shouldn't have lost, . . . but since the last election, I think the Democrats are pulling together," said Robert Tilton, Kansas State democratic chairman. In last year's election, Republicans gained three seats in each of the Kansas houses. Leading Democrats said that many of the Republicans were elected to those seats when voter preference changed radically. Democrats think Republicans will be more successful in retaining those seats in 1982. "We are not taking on any new images," said Jim Pligger, executive director of the Democratic Party in Washington. "We have always had a moderate image. You can't put a wholesale image on either party. But, as a whole, the Considering the changes that people made at the polls in 1980, it might seem that the Democrats need an image change. Democrats have been more fiscally conservative. It's almost a reverse comparison with the rest of the nation." "Since Lyndon Johnson, we've lowered the poverty level from 26 percent to 11 percent. It is the hope of the Democrats to bring people up and give them a better way of life," Tilton said. "I hope that we stick with the basic Democratic philosophies," Tilton said. It appears the Democrats are placing their hopes on what they think will be a failure by the ruddder in Iowa to look out for the muddler-class American. Analysis "I think that the working man will find out that the Democrat better represents him. I don't think Reagan economics will work," said Fred Brown, Fifth District chairman of the Democratic Party in Kansas. Brown said that with Reagan's tax cut proposal, the more money that a person makes, the higher tax cut he receives. "His trickle-down theory will not work. It hasn't worked in 2,000 years. Why will it work now? The poor have taken care of the poor." Tillson said. Tilton said that if Reagan does not do something fast, he is going to be in serious trouble. In 1984, Tilton said that many "I think they are getting nervous," said Tilton. "I also think Bob Dole will disassociate himself from what if his plans are not successful." Republicans will disassociate themselves from Reagan. IN KANSAS, the Democrats said they were not simply relying on Reagan's faults to win the elections. They said that they are relying on grass-roots politics and hard work to gain seats that the Republicans hold. "We're not actually that weak. The total difference between the Republicans and the Democrats in regard to about 40,000." Fred Brown said. Brown said that the Democratic State Committee is working with party people so that they have a chance at degree of how to gain voter support. "We are having schools for precinct committee men and women on how to raise money and pick the winners with the press," Fred Brown said. The Republican Party in Kansas has its own computers for fund raising and targeted campaign literature distribution. The Democrats do not. Brown said that his party was trying to raise enough money to get on a computer basis like the Republicans. "What it is, is that we have Republicans working at the grassroots level. We don’t win here in this area, we’re getting out," Merlyn Brown said. The Republicans also say that it will take more than computers for the Democrats to get Governor Carlin re-elected next year. "When he ran for governor in 1978, one of his last-minute campaign strategies was that he put a utility bill leaflet in that people's doors, and the company didn't have him. He made high utility costs an issue. He never really said he would lower them, he just said they wouldn't go up," Merlyn Brown said. THE REPUBLICANS recently published a comparison between the rate increases that the major utilities were granted during the four years that Robert Bennett was governor, and the last two- and one-half years that Carlin has been governor. The report said that Bennett's Kansas Commerce Commission gave $19.2 million in rate increases to Bell Telephone out of the $73.3 million it requested. Carlin's KCC has granted Bell Telephone $57.7 million out of the $109.9 million it requested. The report also said that Bennett's KCC gave Kansas Power and Light $1.51 million out of the $42.5 million it requested, while Carlin's KCK has given KPL $70 million out of the $88.5 it requested. The KCC said most of the temporary increases granted by Bennett's appointees became final under Carlin's administration and so they were counted as Carlin increases.
