France loses ammo convoy as fighting erupts in Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israeli warplanes destroyed a Syrian SAM-9 missile launcher yesterday as leftist militiamen sparked Beirut's restrike in a month, threatening Lebanon's attempt to restore stability.
A French convoy carrying 20 tons of ammunition was caught in the Beirut fighting and set ablaze by leftists firing rocket-propelled grenades in the first attack on peace-keeping troops in Lebanon.
One Lebanese soldier was killed and 13 were wounded in the fighting — the worst since an Aug. 12 cease-fire ended months of Israeli bombardments of Moslem West Beirut. The heavy fighting ended just after dark.
A government official said the actions apparently were being carried out by Palestinian guerrillas operating from behind Syrian lines with weapons that are suspected to be Iranian.
Official Beirut Radio said the French convoy was caught in the fighting as it drove to the port and was scheduled to ship out of Lebanon with 800 French Legionaires tomorrow, twenty to 30 French soldiers were forced to flee but were unharmed.

"We've incorporated them into work, into society," Cordon said, noting 300 other inmates with three-year prison terms probably would be released this month.
About 3,000 people remain in Nicaraguan jails, most facing nine to 30 years in prison for having participated in the government or national guard of the late President Anastasio Somoza, who was ousted in 1979.
Solidarity accused of spy contacts
WARSAW, Poland—An official Communist Party journal yesterday charged some interneed Solidarity leaders with maintaining contacts with U.S. intelligence and other Western spy agencies.
The monthly Ideologia I Polityka — Ideology and Politics — said leaders of the suspended Polish union had met American and British intelligence agents in Rome, London and Washington.
It also claimed millions of dollars had been given to Solidarity by American and West German unions. On one occasion, it said, the AFL-CIO gave $120,000 to Solidarity leader Lech Wales while he was in France.
The charges, accompanied by another alleging the misuse of union funds, were part of an orchestrated mass-scale propaganda offensive aimed at discrediting the union
Ideologia I Polityka said the AFL-CIO had been "the most generous donor of money" for Solidarity, depositing more than $3 million in its fund.
Houston slowly sinking, experts sav
HOUSTON — The prosperity that created the Texas boom city of Houston from a trading post on the Buffalo Bayou is causing homes, landmarks and major building projects to sink at a rate of inches a year, experts say.
They claim the weight of over-development and poor water planning has created a raft of problems for homeowners, city planners and architects.
Even some well-known Texas shrines are creeping back into the sea. More than 30 percent of the battleground where Sam Houston defeated Mexico's Santa Anna more than a century ago is now under water.
But experts say it will take many centuries before the sea reclaims the city, which now sits about 50 feet above sea level.
Radicals elude manhunt, rob banks
TRENTON, N.J. - A group of radicals, sought in the investigation of the slaying of a New Jersey state trooper, is suspected of robbing banks and armored cars while eluding one of the largest manhunts since the Lindbergh kidnapping, police said yesterday.
Clinton Pagano, state police superintendent, refused to disclose details of the heists but said two were committed recently.
A search for two group members suspected of killing trooper Philip Lamonaco, one of the state's most decorated officers, continues after arrest.
Charles Coe, coordinator of the manhunt, said there were more than 140 leading sightings of the suspects, whose pictures were captured in the town.
The FBL state officials and local authorities created a multi-agency task force to search New England states where members of the group have roots.
MIA relatives to visit Laos, Vietnam
BANGKOK, Thailand—Four relatives of American soldiers missin' in action in Indochina will leave on an unprecedented two-week trip to the United States.
A spokesman said yesterday that the group would travel first to Laos and then to Hanoi to secure information on its relatives, who were among 2,500 American soldiers declared missing since the last U.S. troops left Vietnam nine years ago.
U. S. officials previously made trips to both Laos and Vietnam seeking information on MIAs and recovered the remains of 78 soldiers, but this is the first time that relatives of American soldiers missing in action have been permitted in Laos.
The relatives have requested meetings with officials in Laos and Vietnam and already have been assured of visiting two sites in the Laotian jungle where U.S. Air Force Pilots were forced down, one of the relatives said. The group made a similar request of Vietnam.
Customs seeking drug-sniffing dogs
NEW YORK—If your dog is in good physical condition and has a frantic desire to retrieve, he might be just what the Customs Service is looking for.
Uncle Sam wants 100 good dogs of either sex, preferably 1 to $1\frac{1}{2}$ years old, to team with customs officers at air, land and sea ports to search for illicit narcotics.
"We encourage donations from people, but if we get a quality dog then we'll pay a premium price for him," said Fred Luby, a spokesman at the U.S. Customs office in New York, of the desired dogs.
Since 1970, customs officials have been using dogs to catch people with possession of drugs ranging from pure heroin to marijuana. The results
Between October 1981 and August 1982, the narcotic-sniffing animals racked up 1, 199 seizures involving marijuana, totaling more than 1 million pounds; 192 seizures involving hashish, totaling more than 50,000 pounds; and 189 seizures involving cocaine, totaling more than 7,000 pounds.
Lutheran churches pleased with merger
The decision made last week to merge three of the nation's major Lutheran churches into one body will have little effect in Lawrence because Lutheran churches already exist, several area reverends said Saturday.
From staff and wire reports
"Relations in Lawrence are so excellent, the merger won't be noticed," the Rev. Donald Conrad, of the Lutheran student center, said Sata bookstore

The American Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Church in America and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches voted at separate conventions in Cleveland and Louisville, KY, to merge into on church by Jan. 1, 1988.
The main differences between the churches, which have been regional and ethnic, have disappeared, Conrad said.
"THE DECISION has finally been made. It's something we looked forward to," said the Rev, John Pleifer, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Lawrence's largest Lutheran church and a member of the LCA.

Since no major doctrinal differences exist among the three Lutheran churches, the main result of the merger will be to combine organizational modes of the denominations and eliminate duplication of services, Fleifer said.
Relationships between all the Lutheran churches in Lawrence have always been close, Pfeiffer said, although in other areas Lutheran churches have remained quite separate.
Conrad said the Good Shepherd Church and Trinity Church probably would be given the same district office as a result of the merger. The Trinity Church is in Kansas City, Conrad said, and the Good Shepherd has its in Denver.
THE CONGREGATIONS of the two churches will continue to exist as they do now.
Pfeiffer said, "We both have a mission and place in the community."
A larger organizational structure
does not necessarily breed spirituality, but the removal of duplication of work in the church can be less harmful.
No changes in services will take place. Conrad said, especially since meet Lutherans already use the same book of worship.
The Missouri Synod, the second largest Lutheran denomination in the United States, does not allow altar or pulpit fellowship with the other Luther-
However, the Rev. Walter Lutz, pastor of Lawrence's Mission Synod congregation, said that his feelings were that there were ones of satisfaction and rejoicing.
THE LEADERSHIP of the Missouri Synod has taken a conservative stand, Lutz said, but he hoped that negotiations between the Synod and other Lutheran churches would someday take place.
Lutz said he expected his relations with the other Lawrence Lutheran
The Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in America with 3 million members, was formed in 1962, the product of the merger of German, Swedish, Finnish and Danish Lutheran Churches.
Lutherans, who can trace their history in America back to 1619, already have merged many denominations into larger ones.
The American Lutheran Church, lounded in 1900, was the result of a merger of German, Norwegian, and Swedish churches of which are centered in the Midwest.
