Reagan administration elevates Israel to official ally, Shamir says
TEL AVIV. Israel — Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said yesterday that the Reagan administration had elevated Israel to the status of official ally.
Israeli officials said this could 2.2xpadded military cooperation between the two countries.
Shamir said on Israel Radio, before flying to the United States on a 10-day visit, that the new relationship would put Israel on a par with non-NATO allies such as Australia, South Korea and Egypt.
Israel, the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, is due to get about $1.3 billion in military aid and $1.7 billion in economic aid this year.
The United States has raised the profile of its military links with Israel in recent weeks as tension rose over the kidnappings of foreigners, including three Americans, in Lebanon last month.
Druse militia chief asks for Waite's release
In the past, U.S. administrations, as part of the effort to serve as arbiter in the Middle East peace process, sought to play down the military relationship with Israel.
Israeli officials confirmed that Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger sent the Israeli government a letter last week stating that Congress had been informed that Israel was granted the status of official ally.
BEIRUT — Drusie militia chief Walid Jumbla tipped yesterday that he thought Terry Waite was being held by Iranian-backed Shiite Muslims and that he asked them to free Waite.
Jumballt's plea came hours after his friend, Christian politician Jean Beaujolais was released from a detention days in the hands of kidnappers.
Police said Obiid, who often has been mentioned as a presidential possibility after President Amin Gemayel's term expires in September 1988, was released near the seaside Beaurivage Hotel. No group claimed responsibility for

Waite, 47, was sent by Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, the spiritual leader of the Church of England. He dropped from sight Jan. 20 after leaving his hotel in west Beirut, reportedly to meet the kidnappers of U.S. hostages Terry Anderson and Thomas Sutherland. He was on his fifth mission to Lebanon to attempt to gain the freedom of foreign hostages.
Soviet official says dissident was released
MOSCOW — A top Soviet official said yesterday that authorities had released a dissident Hebrew teacher whose imprisonment sparked a week of protests, the latest indication of a relaxed official policy against dissent.
There was no indication as to when Begun was released or his whereabund Sunday.
Soviet Central Committee Member Georgi Arbatov said Yosif Begun was free and that Begun's release had been delayed by the demonstrations in Moscow.
Reached at her Moscow apartment, Regin's wife, Inna, said she had not been informed about her husband's release.
"I know what Mr. Arbatov said,
but I have no information on my husband," she said. "We are waiting for anything. I think it must be true."
B begun was sentenced in 1983 to seven years in a labor camp for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.
On Saturday, demonstrators suspended a series of protests for Begun's release after security agents turned on a group of protesting Jews, kicking one and arresting five.
Arbatov yesterday denied that Soviet security agents had attacked the protesters and said the demonstrations were counter-productive.
Palestinians allowed to leave camp for food
BEIRUT — Hundreds of hungry Palestinian women and children streamed out of the Rashidiyah refugee camp to buy food yesterday after Shite Muslim militiamen lifted a 41-2-month siege.
They said the women and children, allowed out for the first time since Oct. 1, poured into Tyre to

buy canned food, vegetables and fresh fruit. The reporters said the refugees then walked back to the camp without incident.
No men emerged from the camp, apparently fearing they would be seized by the Shite irregulars.
An Amal communique said Saturday that the militia had completely lifted the Rashidiyeh siege. It said inhabitants would be allowed to move in and out of the camp for seven hours a day beginning at 7 a.m.

Summit produced confusion, report says
WASHINGTON — President Reagan was poorly prepared for the U.S.-Soviet summit meeting in October, and the two-day meeting ended with an astonishing degree of confusion about potential nuclear arms control agreements, the House Armed Services Committee said yesterday.
White House officials declined to comment on the report.
The summit was proposed by the Soviets and accepted by Reagan in late September. The panel's report noted that the announcement of a summit to take place in less than two weeks astonished most observers.
