Beirut welcomes Surians
BEIIRUT-Syrian tanks and troops silenced the gun of Beretu yesterday in a massive occupation that handed Lebanon its first real chance for peace in 1989.
Joyful Moslem slaughtered sheep in a traditional Arab gesture of welcome. Women sent up incense of joy and loved Syrian soldiers with rose water and rice as a symbol of their reunion.
The welcome was subdued in Christian quarters, where rightful militiamen ordered civilians to stay off the streets. Christian leaders seemed to feel more strongly the sting of Beirut's first foreign occupation since U.S. Marines landed to stop a war in 1958.
Only a few instances of resistance were reported as the 6,000 troops and 400 tanks took over, all in Moslem and Palestinian-controlled areas.
Earthauake iolts Pekina
TOKYO—A strong earthquake grinded Peking yesterday, raising high-rise buildings, driving grim memories of the killer quake four months ago,
Foreigners based in the Chinese capital, reached by telephone from Hong Kong, said there had been "no visible damage," and there were no immediate reports of
Earthquake monitoring stations around the world said the quake measured between 6.5 and 6.8 on the Richter scale. That would indicate a quake capable of extensive damage, but considerably weaker than the massive earthquake in northeast China last July 28.
Postal surplus surprisina
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Postal Service turned in a $15 million surplus between July and September, a performance that officials said may forestall a bank run.
The announcement came as a surprise because of the deficits in every quarter since 1972.
At one time, the Postal Service project a defect of $428 million for the latest quarter. Only last month, it announced a record $1.2 billion deficit for the fiscal year.
Postmaster Gen. Benjamin Ballar indicated that the financial improvement may result in a delay in the next request for higher postal rates.
Vietnam's U.N. application blocked by American veto
UNTED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)-The United States vetooed Vietnam's application for United Nations membership last night in the Security Council.
However, the negative vote by the United States, one of the five veto-holding permanent members of the council, killed the resolution.
The council voted 14-1 in favor of a resolution recommending that the General Assembly admit Vietnam to the United Nations. The Security Council's recommendation is required for the assembly to act on a membership application.
U. S. Ambassador to the U.W. William Scranton, explaining the latest veto, said
It was the fifth time in slightly more than 14 months that the United States vetoed Vietnamese applications for membership. The countries' occasions, on separate applications for membership by North and South Vietnam before the Southeast Asian nation was
Vietnam wasn't qualified for U.N. membership because its failure to account for some 800 Americans still missing in action was ignored, and showed it lacked a "humanitarian" attitude.
North Vietnamese troops and Viet Cong guerrillas forced the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government to surrender in April 1975.
Both the "Provisional" *South Vietnamese government and North Vietnam applied for U.N. membership in August and September 1975, when they were formally united in February 1976.

Budget slashed
Vietnam's membership request was sponsored by 10 of the 15 council members—the Soviet Union, China, Rumainia, France, Germany, Pakistan, India, Libya and Tanzania.
In the Lawrence campus budget, Bibb recommended:
The other four permanent members of the council, who hold veto power along with the United States, voted for the application. United are Russia, China, Britain and France.
*Only 25.3 of 33.9 new classified employee positions requested to staff new buildings
-$43,835,625 for other operating expenses, a 24 per cent reduction in the £39,780.
-$2,721,904 for utilities, a 25 per cent reduction in the request of $3,140,952 for construction.
—The total cost of $1.8 million for the new computer center, the only capital investment required, would be about $175 million.
Bibb said the computer center was the only capital improvement on the Lawrence campus approved because the project had already been started. Other projects had already been made in past years, he said, but there had been no money would be available for construction.
Funds for capital improvements were also deleted for renovation of Lindley and Marvin halls, restoration of Spooner and new curtains for Hoch Auditorium.
IN THE MED CENTER budget, Bibb cut:
- 32.9 per cent of a $2.1 million request in operating expenditures, leaving $1,389,289 approved.
--strongest signal yet that the economy may be faltering.
-41.9 per cent of a $3.4 million utility request, for an approved $1,989,928.
All increases over the base increase in the Family Practice and Outreach program.
-44.5 million for new and improved academic and patient care programs.
All increases in new and improved hospital programs.
- capital improvement funds for projects including a new library, remodeling of Wahli Hall, the library building and family practice clinic that was to be established in Western Kansas, and purified water.
Dykes said most new KU programs were cut completely because it was easier to eliminate programs that hadn't been run to eliminate those already in operation.

Dykes said that the other Regents schools had also received their budget recommendations and that he thought all had fared about the same as KU.
PLAINS, Ga. (AP)—President-elect Jimmy Carter yesterday that tax rebates and increased government spending might be needed to spur the nation's economy. He also discounted the likelihood of wage and price controls.
Carter said at a news conference that he thought that unemployment could be reduced to between 4 and 4.5 per cent over a long period of time, which would be applied to older adults who少 than 20 in the jobless ranks. He said this would take two to four years.
The President-elect also repeated his belief that inflation could be held down by applying federal programs to areas of need, and then through a uniform national program.
CARTER SAID HE couldn't yet be specific on details of his plans to decrease unemployment or the possibility that he would incur general tax reduction or one-time tax rebate.
Unemployment is now 7.9 per cent.
But he said that his possibilities for increasing the money supply included "tax increases."
Industrial production down
Carter considers programs to spur economy
The industrial production indicator historically marks the onset and end of recessions, although short-term ad-hoc events aren't necessarily infallible indicators.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The nation's industrial output has declined for two consecutive months, the Federal Reserve Board said yesterday marking the first drop in the key indicator since the start of the economic recovery in April 1975.
The Federal Reserve said output dropped half of one per cent in October, and it revised the September figure, which had originally declined, to show a one-fifth of one per cent decline.
The industrial production figures were clouded somewhat by the effects of strikes, and the numbers were low.
The industrial sector, which includes the nation's mines, factories and utilities, generates about one-third of the jobs.

Carter, at his second news conference since his election, announced that he would fly to Washington next week to meet with Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns and the governor of California cabinets members, possibly including Secretary of State Hew Kissinger.
He said those who weren't selected for cabinet rank might well be in line for other top government posts, including ambassadorsbins.
But he also said that he intended to seek a related monetary policy.
CARTER SAID his selection of cabinet members and other top government officials would be a deliberate process in his investigation into interview contenders for each position.
