Beefed-up Israeli patrols fail to curb kidnappings
BEIRUT, Lebanon - A new wave of kidnappings was reported in Lebanon, Shaif mountains yesterday despite beetle-up Israeli army patrols enforcing a curfew to outbursts of fighting between rival Christian and Druze gunmen that have gone on all week.
Mustafa Beirut radio and the rightist Phalangist Voice of Lebanon both reported that an unspecified number of people were seized at gunpoint by Druze militiamen at roadblocks in the mountains east of Beirut.
Beirut radio said most of those seized were later released.
Firce clashes between Christian and Druze gunmen during the past week have resulted in at least eight people being killed, making the violence a key point of contention in the deadlocked talks over the withdrawal of foreign armies from Lebanon.
And at the weekly meeting of the Israeli Cabinet in Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir attacked the Reagan administration for opposing an increase in financial aid to Israel, a senior Israeli official said.

Chrysler warns Canadians to return
The company said negotiations would be called off until the first of the year if the strike was not over Dec. 13.
Miner's warning that a contract must be reached quickly came at the same time United Auto Workers Vice President Marc Stepp predicted negotiations would pick up this week.
Chrysler was negotiating with the UAW in both the United States and Canada, although U.S. workers did not strike. Negotiations were held on subcommittee levels in Detroit yesterday but bargainers in Canada waited for a wage offer from the company.
Stepp said bargaining on wages and other money matters probably would get under way today in Detroit.

An accompanying editorial in People's Daily, the party's official mouthpiece, said all Chinese must abide by the new constitution and the party should set the example in doing so.
"Of course, there is recognition that in our country, the idea of legality is relatively weak among some party members including some of the responsible cadres (officials)," the editorial acknowledged.

Experts who led the study for the Office of Naval Research were unsure about the effect of "arctic haze" pollution on the world's climate. Science Trends newsletter reports in today's edition.

"A great variety of circumstantial evidence now points to the central Soviet Union as the major source of aerosol for the North American arctic," they said.

One U.S. official said American delegates would be "twisting arms behind the scenes" when the five-day conference formally opened today in an attempt to dissuade as many nations as possible from signing it, but the prospects appear dim.

Heart recipient undergoes surgery again
By United Press International
DeVries, who spent the night in the intensive care unit near Clark, said the second operation in three days was "a minor incident" and that Clark's condition had not "been set back at all."
SALT LAKE CITY—Artificial heart recipient Barney Clark, recuperated from surgery to staple shut tiny leaks in his lungs, was "sober, subdued and sleepy" yesterday.
CHASE PETERSON, the university's medical vice president, said the second operation led to a pause in Clark's recovery, but that Clark and his family concerned that the physicians when told the operation was necessary.
Clark, 61, a retired Seattle area dentist who was implanted Thursday with the first permanent mannade heart, was reported in serious but stable condition at the University of Utah Medical Center.
"Things were going so well, it made it look like this was going to be simply another four or five days, he'd be up walking around, pushing his cart, and so forth," Peterson said. "This was sobering for the family."
After more than three days with a plastic pump in his chest, Clark had lived longer with an artificial heart than any other man.
Peterson reported the patient's vital signs were good, with his pulse set at 90 beats a minute by technicians controlling the air console that drives the plastic heart.
While physicians were optimistic about Clark's recovery from the second operation, they remained cautious about his long-term outlook, saying infection was still their top concern — although they had seen no signs of it.
— gelatin — when he wanted, but so far has only suited tuites. Peterson said.
But be and his family were more cautious about his long-range prognosis after surgeon William DeVries returned Clark to the operating room Saturday night to staple shut four or five small rips in his lungs. The holes were allowing air to leak into his chest wall.
PETERSON SAID doctors_ were watching for three types of infection: post-operative pneumonia, which is usually seen within 24 hours; infection with Pneumococcus; or two or three days; and infection of the heart, which can occur at any time.
The air leaks did not affect the man-made heart and Peterson said it went through the operation without missing a heat.
In Des Moines, Wash., police increased their patrols yesterday near the waterfront home of Clark after it was ransacked by burglaris.
Clark was told he could eat solid food
Clark's elder son, Gary, 37, Bothell,
Wash., found objects scattered around
the home when he checked it Saturday following a neighbor's report that a window was open at the house.
Police said it appeared nothing was taken and speculated either youths or amateur bargars went through the warehouse overturning objects in search of money.
"It was basically a big mess," Clark said. "Nothing that we can determine was taken. It was more of a dandalism thing. Somebody came in here looking for money. Stuff was thrown all over nothing, nothing and mom's costume jewelry."
"I'M PRETTY disgusted that people would pick a time like this to inflict more damage on people with other things on their mind."
Des Moines Police Sgt. Ken Schnorr said no arrests had been made.
"It's one of those residences along the water that’s pretty hard to see from the street," said Schnorr. "We've stepped up our patrol of the house."
New report says Soviets waged chemical warfare
By United Press International
A report to be released today on an inquiry initiated by the U.N. General Assembly, at the urging of the Iranian president, concluded than a similar report last year. The
NEW YORK-A U.N. team found "circumstantial evidence" appearing to support accusations that the Soviet Union and its allies have been waging chemical warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq, a publication report said yesterday.
New York Times said, but still offers no proof.
proof:
In last year's report, the experts said they had been "unable to reach a final conclusion," the Times said.
Charles M. Lichenstein, a deputy United States delegate, called the latest report "a step forward," but "less than then we had hoped." The Times said.
Part of the report was based on experts' visits to two Taiwan villages near the Cambodian border in October, where yellow powder was found on roofs, walls and foliage after an
unidentified plane had flown overhead, the Times said.
VICTIMS SUFFERED a marked increase in skin complaints, the report said. Two of 22 samples of the yellow powder yielded a poisonous fungus. The team said it could find nothing to explain how the material was spread.
Yellow powder brought out from Laos on leaves, vegetables and clothing contained chemical substances that could be poisonous, the study said, but the experts could not be sure the substance came from an area under chemical attack.

The study attributed this to a "harassing agent" like tear gas, the Times said. it is uncertain if these weapons are causing chemical and biological weapons.
The experts said it was highly unlikely the toxic symptoms could have been caused by fungal spread by the Soviets, as Mr. Mamn, as the Sovetskiy contended.
