On Tuesday, two SA-7 "Strella" hand- held anti-aircraft missiles were fired from behind Sy- rian lines at an IDF helicop- ter. The helicopter was not hit. The sources suggested that the last two incidents could be attributed to Palestine Liberation Organization units rather than the Syrian army. Althciugh this was not certain, the Israelis apparently prefer not to accuse the Syrians, which could increase tension. Does a Garage Sale Tarnish Silver's Imag -e? • Good heavens do!

The move is an "effort on the part of Romania to avoid losing its 'most-favored-I nation status with the U.S. Romania is expected to issue a formal statement to the U.S. government af- firming that the tax on emi- grants will not be applied. Romania imposed the tax on emigrants last No- vember despite warnings by the Reagan Adminis- tration at the time that such a step would bring about the revocation of the MFN status. Romania began imposing the tax, the cost of free edu- cation emigrants received beyond the compulsary 10 _ years, on those' 'seeking to leave forIsrael, the U.S. and West Germany. On March 4, President Regan announced that Romania would lose its trade status by June 30 un- less it changed its policy by then. Under the 1974 Trade Act, any .Communist country that imposes on "education tax" auto- matically loses its MFN status. That provision, part of the Jackson-Vanik amendment to the act, was prain.pted by the Soviet Union, which had imposed such a tax but later rescinded it. Hungary and Romania are the only two Warsaw Pact countries with MFN status. Poland had that status, but it was • sus pended last year after its government cracked down on the Solidarity trade union. Meanwhile, Shimon Peres, chairman of the op- position Labor Party, warned that a "war of attri- tion" could develop between Israel and Syria and find the IDF in inconvenient positions in its present de- ployment. In Washington, the State Department pointed to the confrontation between Is- raeli and Syrian jets over Lebanon as anther reason for Syria to move quickly toward reaching agree- ment, as did Israel, with Lebanon for the withdrawal of its troops from Lebanon.
