The in- vitation was broadcast by Israel's Arabic language transmitters but as of Mon- day, no refugees appeared at any of the border posts. The move was regarded, however, as a timely hu- manitarian gesture and was taken after top level discus- sions in response to appeals from various Christian reli- gious and secular institu- tions in Israel. Refugees from Lebanon could expect to find shelter in the Maron- ite Christian communities in northern Israel.

Israeli sources learned of these latest develop- ments from Lebanese farmers in the border re- gion. The Lebanese army has never been very effec- tive in the southern area of the country and with civil war raging in the north, the authority of the Beirut government is virtually nil there. Official circles have re- fused to comment on over- seas press reports that the Israeli army was concen- trating forces on the north- ern border. Army movements are classified information and are never commented on in military or government cir- cles. But with the situation in Lebanon becoming more menacing daily, Israeli se- curity forces have been put on a high alert. A Syrian delegation is in Beirut trying to negotiate a cease-fire between the war- ring Moslem and Christian factions. But they are doing, so as armored units of the Syrian commanded Pales- tine Liberation Army have been deployed in strategic areas of the country and the terrorist grip on the south has tightened.

Israel's Meanwhile, mounting concern over the growing Syrian influence in Lebanon was reflected here in warnings by the presi- dent, the premier and the defense minister that Israel would be forced to intervene militarily if Syria invaded or took over Lebanon. The warning by President Ephraim Katzir, in a speech to a United Jewish Appeal mission headed by Walter Segaloff of Newport News, Va., was unexpected be- cause the president of Israel rarely makes political state- ments in public. Katzir's words, therefore, seemed to underline the gravity of the situation. Katzir said: "Our policy is not to interfere in Le- banese internal policy. But if Syria interferes, we will have no choice but to send in our troops. If Syria takes over Lebanon it will pose a serious threat to Israel." Premier Yitzhak Rabin, addressing the closing ses- sion of the United Israel Ap- peal-Keren Hayesod mis- sion here, also warned Syria not to intervene in Lebanon.

However, he declared, "Our neighbors know ex- actly" what developments would force Israel to act and they should therefore "think and think again before pre- cipitating such develop- ments." Defense Minister Shimon Peres, who addressed a 52-member UJA mission from Cleveland, said "We feel our warnings regarding Lebanon have been suffi- cient until now. I know that some elements in Lebanon are appreciative. If the Syri- ans are around in Lebanon it will mean a new war, but they have an appreciation of their strength compared to ours and for that reason they are being careful." In Washington the United States looks to "a political accommodation" in Lebanon which will "preserve the security of all the Lebanese communi- ties," the State Depart- ment said. Under questioning, de- partment spokesman John Trattner said, in reference to the Syrian government's mediation with the warring parties, that "we would, of course, be encouraged by a successful outcome of what appears to be a serious ef- fort to achieve a cease-fire that sticks and a political accommodation in Lebanon which would be acceptable to and preserve the security of all Lebanese communi- ties." - All THE NEWEST Johnston Murphy SHOES OVER 400 PAIRS OF SHOES ALWAYS IN STOCK CLOTHES of West Bloomfield in the new enclosed Orchard Mall on Orchard Lake Road 3 mile north of Maple Road Phone: 851.9080 MON.
