Deceivers of President Reagan to be punished, Weinberger says
PARIS — Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said yesterday the "proper punishment" would be given to anyone who deceived President Reagan in the Iranian arms sales affair.
Weinberg defended Reagan's motives in selling weapons to Iran, saying the president did not agree to the transfer until he "had an opinion from the highest authorities in the United States that it was a legal action for him to take."
Weinberger did not identify those authorities.
The defense secretary later met with French President Francis Mitterrand before ending his two-day visit to France. He said he discussed arms control, foreign policy and foreign policy in a brief meeting with Mitterrand.
Aboard his plane on the way to Brussels, where he will attend a two-day meeting of NATO defense ministers, Weinberger said he had never authorized a transfer of weapons to Israel so they could be sold to Iran.
Concerning reports that his former military assistant, Lt. Gen. Colin Powell, may have involved in the Iran affair, Weinberger said the general carried out his instructions to transfer weapons from Army stocks to the CIA for subsequent sale to Iran.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Shiite Muslim militiamen stormed a defenseless Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon yesterday, executing a school teacher before hundreds of residents and burning homes, police said.
The attackers, armed with rocket-propelled
The Shiite Muslim Amal militia rounded up hundreds of people in the camp's main square, executed a teacher before the crowd and arrested 120 Palestinian civilians, a police source said.
grenades and machine guns, faced no resistance from the 5,000 inhabitants of Al Bas, a refugee camp outside the southern port city of Tyre, 46 miles south of Beirut, police sources said.
In Beirut, Amal, backed by Soviet-made T-45 tanks, pounded the besieged Shatila refugee camp for the third day yesterday, but unrelenting Palestinian guerilla forces from the nearby Shouf mountains, security sources said.

Witness accuses security adviser
WASHINGTON — National security adviser Frank Carlucci knew about an illegal lobbying effort to win congressional approval of the purchase of 50 C-5B planes from the Lockheed Corp. when he was at the Pentagon in 1982. A house panel was told yesterday.
Carl Palmer, an associate director of the General Accounting Office, testified that an Air Force general directed an effort by Lockheed to violate federal antiterrorism laws in connection with the defense action of Carlcucci, who was the deputy defense secretary.
Carlucci, who had the position from February 1981 to December 1982, vigorously defended the legality of the 1982 lobbying efforts for the multibillion-dollar aircraft purchase in comments to the GAO in 1982. He did not respond to a reporter's request for comment yesterday.
President Reagan appointed Carlucci on Tuesday to replace Vice Adm. John Poindexter, who resigned last week after the disclosure that an NSC official arranged the diversion of profits from the Iranian arms sale to the Contras. Carlucci will assume his new duties Jan. 1.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Black activist Winnie Mandela, was attacked yesterday by an angry crowd of blacks outside the Cape Town Supreme Court but she was not hurt, witnesses said.
Black activist attacked at court
Mandela, wife of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, was attending a hearing for Linda Mangalso, a friend convicted of hiring two killers to murder her and two years ago in the black township of Gududu.
Witnesses said Mandela's friendship with Mangaliso, unpopular in the township after the murder conviction, touched off the attack.
According to news photographer Willy De Klerk, a crowd of 200 mostly black women hurled empty soda cans and debris from the street at Mandela, who had slipped on a back door of the courthouse.
About 15 minutes after the attack, Mandela was whisked away in a car, witnesses said.
Mandela has been subjected to various forms of restriction since 1962 when she was first banned by the South African government.
A fierce opponent of the country's anti-apartheid laws that legally separate the races, she has become known among black supporters as the mother of the nation.
Imprisoned since 1962, Nelson Mandela is the symbol of black revolution against white rule in South Africa.
Sheriff apologizes for actions
METAIRE, La. — Stung by charges of racism for proposing to randomly stop blacks driving in white neighborhoods, Sheriff Harry Lee yesterday rescinded the order and defended his record on race relations.
Lee, the only Chinese-American sheriff in the United States, said it greatly distressed him to be characterized as a bigot, and apologized "to the many people in our community I have inadvertently offended."
The storm of criticism began Tuesday almost immediately after a news conference in which Lee said he had ordered increased patrols to stop blacks in white neighborhoods to combat an increase in black-on-white crime.
American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman Marti Kegel called Lee a despicable bigot and said he should
Jefferson Parish, adjacent to New Orleans, has a predominantly white population. A large number of its inhabitants relocated from New Orleans, which is predominantly black.
He said he desegregated youth camps operated by the sheriff's department when he assumed office in 1980, and claimed promotional opportunities for minorities had increased dramatically under his administration.
Lee said he led the desegregation of New Orleans-area restaurants more than 20 years ago and, as a federal magistrate, granted relief in more civil rights cases than any other magistrate in the nation.
Cartoonists to parody war toys
ST. LOUIS — The country's top newspaper cartoonists, including eight Pulitzer Prize winners, will spoof war-related toys for children in their December cartoons.
The crusade was the braincase of Bob Stake, a St Louis cartoonist, who says he is shocked by the growing number of guns, tanks and grenades on the country's toy shelves.
Staake, 29, said his concern began last December when he saw his 18-month-old son holding a toy plastic hand grenade at a neighbor's house.
Stake enlisted the support of other cartoonists, who say they will feature the problem in their December strips and editorial cartoons.
At least 50 and perhaps as many as 150 cartoonists will draw anti-war toy cartoons that will appear in newspapers around the country from Dec. 10 through Dec. 24. Stake said.
