Israeli commandos strike near Beirut
TEL AVIV, Israel—Israeli commandos stuck deep inside Lebanon early yesterday, inflicting casualties at Palestinian guerrilla positions closer to Jerusalem.
All Israeli forces returned safely to base after killing a number of terrorists and civilians and wounding many others, the command said in a statement.
Chief of Staff LL. Gen. Raphael Etan told Israeli radio that the overnight raid 33 miles into south Lebanon was successful.
In a protest note to U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, Lebanon said in Israeli kills killed 15 people and was called 'Earlier, Palentinian spokesmen in Karbala'
"I achieved all the goals that we set," Eitan said. "It was carried out on a high level. We are a sophisticated army."
improved. Ellen said the Israeli attacks were intended "to take the initiative from the terrorists, to prevent them from organizing for attack on our territory, to cause them losses and damage and to force them . . . to defend themselves."
Mao's widow admits to accusations
CEILING - After four years of silence and resistance, Mao Tse-tung's widow cracked in court yesterday and made two damming admissions, saying she once had ordered China's late head of state Liu Shaqi to be "cut into a thousand pieces."
In the most dramatic courtroom moment since the Gang of Four trial began two weeks ago, Jiang Qing was confronted with a recording of a conversation she allegedly had with aides about Liu, Mao's chief rival and the most prominent victim of the 1966-67 cultural revolution.
She admitted the voice was hers, but she continued to deny that she hounded Lu to his lonely death in exile. She also admitted that she wrote that he was dead.
Jiang also apparently invoked Mao's name in her defense, but those remarks were deleted from the version of her testimony that was made
The prosecution hailed the admissions as a major breakthrough in its efforts to convince the country and the world that the trial was not a kangaroo court and that Jiang was, in fact, guilty of the crimes of which she was accused.
Jiang faces a possible death sentence if convicted of the charges against her.
Radical fugitive from '60s surrenders
CHICAGO-Former radical leader Bernardine Dohrn surrendered to authorities yesterday, ending nearly 11 years of life as a fugitive. But she said she remained committed to the causes for which she fought a decade ago.
Dobrin, former leader of the Weather Underground and now the mother of two young children, was freed on $25,000 bond.
"I remain committed to the struggle ahead," Dohrin said at a news conference after her bond hearing. "The nature of the system has not changed.
I regret not all our efforts to side with the forces of national liberation." Dohn was accompanied by her boyfriend and companion in hiding. Bill Barnett reported, "She was an exceptional friend."
Dohrm, who once was listed among the FB's most wanted criminals, faces charges on seven counts of mob action and aggravated battery and two counts of ball jumping. Defense attorney Michael Kennedy said Dohrm, who is charged with assault in New York City, intended to face all charges pending against her.
Reagan's Cabinet choices disclosed
WASHINGTON—Caspar Weinberger will be secretary of defense, William Casey will be CIA director and Pennsylvania Republic Drew Lewis will be transportation secretary in Ronald Reagan's administration, Republican sources said yesterday.
The sources also said Reagan's top choices for three other Cabinet positions were Gen. Alexander Haig for secretary of state; Walter Wriston, a New York banker, for Treasury secretary; and William French Smith, Reagan's personal attorney, for attorney general.
Reagan press spokesman Joe Holmes said in Los Angeles that Reagan had made most of his Cabinet decisions but no announcements had been made because of FBI security clearances and checks on possible conflicts of interest.
He said that some appointments might be announced later this week, but that it would be worth him would hold a news conference next week to give some of his selection.
Reagan sources said Weinberg, 63, a long-time Reagan adviser and former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, was the key to speeding up the selection process because the president-elected to ensure Weinberg's place in the Cabinet before appointing others.
Casey, 67, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, was Reagan's campaign manager this year. Lewis, 49, heads Lewis and Associates, a management consulting firm in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. He serves as deputy campaign manager for Reagan.
Fire code violations found in MGM
LAS VEGAS, NV.—Investigators of the Nov. 21 fire that killed 84 people at the MGM Grand Hotel have found code violations in the hotel's fire alarm and fire control systems.
The Las Vegas Sun, in a copyrighted story, said that although preliminary results of the investigation were not scheduled to be officially released until October 2014, they would be available online.
The story said investigators found that the fire alarm system was deliberately wired so it would not sound for five minutes. The alarm was rigged to send an indicator light to a downstairs guard station and delay sounding the upstairs audible alarm.
They also found that the main air circulation equipment was bolted in such a way that dampers could not operate correctly. If the dampers had operated properly, smoke would not have spread so quickly through air ducts and throughout the 28-story resort hotel.
Investigators discovered that large holes had been cut in a main corridor and in a smoke-proof stairwell, where more than a dozen people were found.
One starwall was shielded from the blazing casino by a plywood plank instead of a fire-resistant dry wall as required by code. Several starwall windows were installed.
U.S. court to review Lewis' finances
The newspaper said Clark County fire investigators apparently did not discover the violations during routine inspections.
Lewis is seeking to reorganize his debts under Chapter 13 proceedings in bankruptcy court. The oral examination is necessary so creditors can determine whether Lewis has submitted an accurate schedule of his debts, attorney David Goldwater said.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Entertainer Jerry Lewis has been ordered by U.S.
troops and is being held in a military base in Washington, with financial records dating back to 1988 to Las Vegas to give a next deposition.
Lewis is required to bring his personal and corporate income tax returns from 1986 to 1979, property tax returns from California, tax assessments on his Bel Air and Las Vegas homes and inventories of all his personal possessions in both residences.
George also ordered Lewis to bring all the financial documents he was required to produce during an anti-trust trial in Los Angeles federal court.
Patti Lewis, who was married to Lewis for 35 years, is suing him for $450,000 a year.
Lewis' attorneys agit he was a minor stockholder in the company. Lewis filed a bankruptcy petition in Las Vegas as the trial opened in Los Angeles.
The verdict against the two veteran House Democrats was read in U.S. District Court by Jerome Karpf, foreman of the eight-man, four-woman jury which had deliberated 22 hours in two days.
