Report on Sharon unverified
By United Press International
NEW YORK — A Time magazine reporter said yesterday he and his editors had read "between the lines" to conclude that a secret portion of an Israeli commission's report said Gen. Ariel Sharon was responsible for the slaughter of 700 Palestinian refugees.
David Haley, Time's Jerusalem correspondent, admitted in court that his secret sources never explicitly confirmed the information.
In his $50 million libel suit, Sharon accuses Times of publishing a false, damaging and malicious article reported by Halevy. Moreover, Sharon contends Halevy's information is not in the secret report.
HALEVY HAD REPORTED to Time that Sharon on Sept. 15, 1982, discussed with Lebanon's Christian militant group the use of retaliate for the assassination of
Bashir Gemayel, their commander and President-elect of Lebanon.
Overst the next two days, the Phalangists slaughtered 700 Palestinians at two West Beirut refugee camps.
Sharon branded the article as a "blood label," contending it implied that he had encouraged the massacre.
The disputed Time article, published Feb. 21, 1983, said that Sharon's meeting with the Phalangists had been part of the secret operation to hack B- by not official Israeli commission that investigated the massacre.
On a third day on the stand, Halevy admitted to Sharon's lawyer that his sources never explicitly told him that the information was in Appendix B.
THE JOURNALIST testified that four sources told him about Sharon's meeting with the Phalangist leaders, and that he and his editor saw more
hints of Sharon's culpability in the commission's published report.
"We reached the conclusion there is a case against Gen Sharon between the lines," Haley said, "and that it is probably in Appendix b."
Sharon had ordered the Phalangists, Israel's main allies during its invasion of Lebanon, into the camps to root out terrorists.
The official Israeli commission in its public report found Sharon "indirectly" responsible for the massacre, because he ignored the danger of Phalangist reprisals against Palestinian civilians.
AS A CABINET MINISTER,
Sharon has seen Appendix B and
denies it contains anything in the
Time report. The government of
Israel has refused to allow lawyers
for either side to see the document.
Sharon, 56, was forced to resign as defense minister when the report was released.
Stranded hunters refuse help
By United Press International
PENDELTON, Ore. — Dozens of snowbound ek hunters, stranded in the mountains by a raging winter storm, refused rescue yesterday, stubbornly staying with their vehicles despite the possibility of being trapped for weeks.
At least 80 hunters in the Umatilla National Forest were cut off from civilization by roads piled with snowdrifts as much as 9 feet deep. Some vowed to stay with their families, the roads were cleared, searchers said.
It could be weeks before Forest Service crews can open the roads, said Colleen King, Umatilla County's
emergency management coordinator.
The storm caused at least one death
One hunter, 62-year-old Robert Hage of Portland, was killed when high winds blew a tree onto his trailer in Canyon area southeast of La Grande.
"Most of them (the hunters) have pretty good shelter and food supplies to last a few more days." King said. "If we are in danger, we dangerous to be up there at night."
"We're going to convince them in the next day or so it's their lives or their 4-wheel drives. They have to figure out which way they want to
Many of the hunters were stranded
at the 4,000-foot and 6,000-foot level of the Blue Mountains in northern Oregon, where overnight temperatures dropped into the 29s. King said
Searchers set out again yesterday to try to convince the defiant hunters to abandon their vehicles and campers and head for safety.
While air teams scanned the rugged terrain, crews in seven snowmobiles backed "snowdirters" ranging from 4 to 9 feet" in the 40-by-15-mile area of the national forest, sheffir's deputy John Trunbo
Searchers also were looking for other hunters who had not been found.
"we know of at least five," Sheriff Jim Carey said.
Schroeder walks, drinks beer
By United Press International
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Artificial heart patient William Schreeder got out of his hospital bed yesterday, walked a few steps to a chair and took "a couple of slugs" of a long-awaited beer in a demonstration of his "amazing" recovery.
Schroeder, whose first request after Sunday's implant of the world's second permanent artificial heart was for a beer, held a can aloft and said, "Coors cures" according to Dr. Allan M. Lansing, chairman of the Humana Heart Institute.

Lansing said Schroeder only took "a couple of shugs" from the car, but nearly two-thirds of the group had left when it was picked up later by a nurse.
"It shows he's an experienced beer drinker."Lansing said.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — William J. Schroeder, the world's second artificial heart implant patient, takes a drink of beer. He also held up a plaque yesterday that was sent to him by an Atlanta woman who read in an article that he is called "tough old nut."
The hospital released a photograph showing Schroeder — sitting in a chair with an oxygen tube still in his nose — lifting the beer with his right hand in the toast in of his wife, two daughters and son.
His bedstand was decorated with a small Christmas tree hung with folded dollar bills.
Despite a minor lung complication that doctors quickly corrected, Schroeder was recovering from the operation very well, Lansing said.
"We are very surprised at how
dramatically he has progressed," Lansing said.
Schroeder walked a distance of about five feet to the chair in his room, still tethered by the tubes attached to him. Unit of his plastic and metal heart
