Begin gave orders to the army to do all it could to re- store quiet to the border area, and there were broad public hints that the Pre- mier is putting pressure on Major Saad Haddad's Chris- tian militias in the south Lebanese enclaves to reduce the level of their (mainly ar- tillery) activity.

Yadin was said to have uttered this warning several times in recent days in top-level ministerial con- sultations. By "Israeli elements" Yadin seemed to be refer- ring to some senior IDF offi- cers who are known to be pushing for larger and more direct Israeli involvement. By "various factors" Yadin was plainly refer- ring to Haddad's forces. CA1VDY * IDYS * LAWN +MIMI * C.Ag-CRIte ir misame.01005 sir s9te1-1-1/405* HEAiaN4-136AulY - p/ a 6.. tiN•111144•10tolfeiNti IS! The major himself is still recuperating in a Haifa hospital from an attack of exhaustion that felled him earlier in the week. His guns were a good deal less active Tuesday night than they had been in previous days. Israeli artillery also was markedly quiet: there was no response, for in- stance, to a salvo of Kat- Yusha rockets that landed in agricultural area in northern Galilee before dawn. Inhabitants of the border region settlements were urged, nevertheless, to spend the night in air raid shelters Tuesday, though Wednesday morning life was reported proceeding normally in the area. Yadin was reported by Is- rael Radio to have noted particularly that Haddad's shelling this week of Sidon and Tyre, which caused civi- lian deaths and casualties, had been carried out with shells "supplied with the IDF." The deputy premier urged that the militia leader be "restrained." On Tuesday, Premier Begin himself pledged to the UNIFIL commander, Irish General Callaghan, that Israel would indeed exert what influence it could upon Haddad with a view to reducing vio- lence and tension in the region. The premier also under- stood that the IDF would do all in its power to cooperate with UNIFIL and to avoid tensions and unpleasant in- cidents that have occurred in the recent past between the Israel army and the polyglot UN force. UNIFIL for its part an- nounced that its men had detected Tuesday night a group of PLO terrorists set- ting up Katyusha rocket launchers with the aim to shell Israel — and had opened fire on them and thereby prevented the at- tack. lion of the ongoing mas- sacre of the Christians of Lebanon by the Syrian army of occupation and the terrorist PLO." Meanwhile, Israel Air Force planes attacked ter- rorist bases on the Lebanese coast north of Tyre last week and all aircraft re- turned safetly to their bases, a military spokes- man announced. The spokesman said the latest raid was in line with Israel's policy of striking terrori- 4-- bases in Lebanon to prey, attacks on Israel from being mounted at these bases. It also was learned that two terrorists attempting to infiltrate Israel on a hot air balloon were killed by Is- raeli troops. In a related development, an Israeli army major was killed and a U.S. diplomat injured Monday as Israeli fighters pounded Palesti- nian positions and Lebanese Christian and Sy- rian gunners traded artil- lery fire in Beirut. - U.S. Embassy Vice Consul Steve Patterson was injured in the crossfire, but not criti- cally, an embassy spokesman said. . In Paris, FranCe reas- serted its determination to try to strengthen the official Lebanese army in order to obtain a lasting cease-fire in that war-torn country. France has felt a tradi- tional responsibility for Lebanon which, until the end of World War II, was a French protectorate and where French is still the main language. French hospitals, schools and corn- mercial firms operate throughout Lebanon and French public opinion looks upon the country as having "a special organic relation- ship" with metropolitan France. In a related develop- ment, Yehuda Blum, Is- rael's Ambassador to the United Nations, declared that Israel welcomes "any initiative that would bring about the termina- TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is- rael had a guarded reaction to reports that President Reagan sent a personal cable to President Hafez Assad of Syria hailing the role Damascus could play in achieving peace in the Mid- dle East. The Reagan message was disclosed in Beirut by Be- shir Gemayel, commander of the rightwing Christian Phalangists, who accused the U.S. of giving its blessings to the partitior 'n Lebanon. The Phalang have been battling Syrian forces in Lebanon in recent weeks. Observers here said it ap- peared to be an attempt by the U.S. to balance the sharp criticism of Syria by Secretary of State Alexan- der Haig when he was in Jerusalem 10 days ago. At that time, Haig denounced the Syrian shelling of the Christian town of Zahle in central Lebanon as "brutal." .
