Lincoln Rd., Oak Park U.S.Warns Israel on Lebanon: Don't Back Christian Militia WASHINGTON (JTA) — The State Department con- tinued to warn Israel against supporting the Christian militia in Leba- non and lashed out at the militia for resisting Lebanese army attempts to take over Christian stron- gholds. The Administration did not criticize the Syrian "peace-keeping" army's continued artillery and roc- ket fire against Christian areas in Beirut, which has broughten overwhelmingly supported resolution in the House of Representatives to cut off foreign aid to Syria. A State Department spokesman, Thomas Re- ston, said "obviously" the department had seen re- ports that Israel is supply- ing weapons to the Lebanese Christians. "We would be concerned about the introduction of new arms in Lebanon," Reston said, because that would "work against the defusing" of the fighting. Reston said that "a short time ago," an Is- raeli "representative" had given the U.S. assur- ances that Israel would not transfer American- origin military equip- ment "without specific approval" to the Christ- ians and added that "we have no doubt Israel is keeping its assurances." Reston did not identify the "representative. He observed, a response to a question, that the U.S. has no control over equip- ment "not subject to U.S. law or agreement" that Is- rael may be providing the Christians. In a related development, Major Saad Haddad, com- mander of the Christian militia in south Lebanon, has denied that any ag-, reement has been reached to permit a 700-man contin- gent of the Lebanese army to pass through the Christ- ian enclaves in the south to an assigned position at Tib- nin, 25 miles from Kaukaba. The battalion has been mired in Kaukaba for a week because of opposi- tion by the Christian militia. Haddad said an agree- ment was reached on a total cease-fire between the militia and the Lebanese battalion so that the Mos- lem soldiers in the battalion would be abel to observe the Islamic Ramadan feast un- hampered. He stressed that the battalion Will not be al- lowed to move from its pre- sent site at Kaukaba through the Christian en- claves even if Israel, under United States pressure, ad- vised them to do so. But is was reported that a new plan had been devised under which the battalion will take up positions farther east in south Lebanon and will be transported by helicopter to Tibnin. Abie Meanwhile, JERUSALEM (JTA)- Jerusalem buses under- went, beginning Tuesday special security checks, in order to prevent sabotage attempts. The security checks were introduced following the work of a special committee which was set up several weeks ago, following the blast in a Jerusalem bus, killing six and wounding dozens. Each bus is now thoroughly inspected before going out for a tour. Special teams approved by the police will tour the buses throughout the day. They are authorized to check pas- sengers' luggage, as well as to conduct body searches. Special signs have been introduced inside the buses calling for the pub- lic's alertness for sus- picious objects. 'Jerusalem's schools will have special sessions at the beginning of the school year drawing the students' attention to possible dangers on the public transportation lines. One bus line in Jerusalem will have transparent seats which will make it easier to trace suspicious objects. All buses will have mic- rophones by the drivers' seats which will allow the drivers to call for the pas- sengers' attention for sus- picious objects. Meanwhile, a bomb exploded Monday at a hitchhike station for sol- diers on the southern out- skirts of Jerusalem. No one was injured and there was no damage. An explosive charge went off Satuftlay on the Mount of Olives and another charge was discovered be- fore it went off near the Jaffa Gate. There were no injuries or damage at either site. Israeli Buses, Passengers Are Scrutinized for Bombs Biography Due r NEW YORK — The first volume of the Encyclopedia of Orthodox Biographies is ready for publication, an- nounces Rabbi Chaim U. Lipschitz, editor-in-chief of the encyclopedia. Nathan, the peace pilot and owner of a peace ship, an- chored his vessel near Beirut outside the territo- rial waters of•ebanon. The ship was loaded with an ambulance, medicine, candy and toys which had been donated by Israeli Jews, Moslems and Christ- ians for the Lebanese people in war-torn Beirut. Before sailing from Ashdod, Nathan said that "some- thing must be done for the people of Lebanon." Nathan told Lebanese journalists who came by boats from the Lebanese capital to talk to him and his crew that the items on board were meant for civi- lians, not military person- nel.
