U.S. Won't Pressure Israel on IDF Troop Pull-Back in Lebanon

borders, and we're helping
in every way we can to bring
that about."
Lebanese President
Gemayel made his opposi-
tion to the redeployment
known last week but it
seemed to be based chiefly
on his fear that it would give
the Lebanese people the im-
pression that it would allow
the country to be par-
titioned.
On this point, the Ad-
ministration took aim at the
decision by three Syrian-
backed Lebanese — Walid
Jumblatt, the pro-Palestine
Liberation Organization
Druze leader, former
President Suleiman
Frajieh, a Maronite Chris-
tian, and former Prime
Minister Rasid Karami, a
Moslem — to form what
they call the National Sal-
vation Front in opposition
to the Gemayel govern-
ment.
"We hope that parties
in Lebanon recognize the
importance of national
reconciliation behind a
strong central govern-
ment in the pursuit of
common-national goals,"
a State Department
spokesman said when
asked about the new
group.
"We also emphasize again
our hope that senseless vio-
lence in Lebanon will end in
the interests of furthering
the worthy goal of a united,
independent and sovereign
Lebanon, free of all foreign
forces. Continued strife and
bloodshed serves no one's
interests." Jumblatt has
admitted that it was his
forces which shelled Beirut
International Airport last
week and his forces are in-
cluded in the Shouf Moun-
tains fighting.
than coming up with any
new plan.
The new face was
necessary because Sy-
rian President Hafez
Assad refused to allow
U.S. envoy Philip Habib
to come to Damascus
after the Israeli-
Lebanese agreement was
signed May 17. A State
Department official
noted that Habib was
seen as a "symbol" by
Syria of its opposition to
American support of the
Israeli-Lebanese agree-
Gemayel's strongest
words last week were re-
served for Syria as he ac-
cused Damascus of reneging
on its promise to withdraw
its troops once Israel had
agreed to pull out ifs forces.
It is apparent that
Gemayel and Reagan agree
to the next step in Lebanon
— to concentrate on seeking
the removal of the PLO ter-
rorists and Syrian forces.
The appointment of McFar-
lane was admittedly an at-
tempt to put a "new face" on
the diplomatic effort rather

new building at Tel Aviv
University, said at the
ceremony, "During our con-
vention in New York we
passed a resolution which
created a commitment be-
tween the American
Friends of Tel Aviv Univer-
sity and the Alpha Omega
Fraternity to build a new
dental school on these most
hallowed grounds.
"Those who are here
today demonstrate their
concern and dedication. It is
left for us to continue this
campaign. It is for us to
double our efforts and to
conclude this major
endeavor with success. It is
not important what we say
here, rather what we do and
what we have yet to accom-
plish. We must fulfill our
obligation and demonstrate
our loyalty, solidarity and
commitment to our profes-
sion, to dental education,
and to the people of Israel."
It was during Dr. Shipko's
tenure as international
president of Alpha Omega
that the fraternity made its
commitment to help fund
the new building for Tel
Aviv University.
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Twelve people were killed
and more than 40 were
wounded in a weekend of
violence in Lebanon. An
American Christian-
supported and operated
television station was also
bombed, but there were no
casualties.
Eleven Israeli soldiers
were wounded Friday when
a remote-controlled explo-
sive charge was detonated
as their patrol passed
through Aley -village in the
hills east of Beirut on the
Beirut-Damascus highway.
They were taken by helicop-
ter to a hospital in Haifa.
Earlier in the day, one
person was killed and 13
persons were wounded, in-
cluding two Americans,
when 20 shells hit the
Bierut International Air-
port and the surrounding
region. The firing came
from the Druze areas in the
mountains to the east of Be-
irut. The two Americans
were attached to the multi-
national peace force. The
others wounded were
Lebanese civilians.
A powerful bomb
wrecked the Voice of
Hope television station
Saturday. The station,
which was founded and
financed by fundamen-
talist and evangelical
church groups mainly in
California, was housed in
a building just across the
border opposite Metul-
lah. It was damaged by a
50-kilo bomb in a car
parked nearby. The
building was empty at the
time. Another car parked
nearby was blown into
the air and landed on the
Israeli side of the "good
fence."

Maj. Saad Haddad, leader
of the south Lebanon Chris-
tian militia, narrowly es-
caped death in the bombing
incident. He left the studio
minutes before the explo-
sion, intending to return
shortly afterwards to make
a broadcast. A group of
Ameiican tourists had also
left the area minutes before
the blast. Haddad said he
thought the bomb had been
intended to kill him.
A similar car bomb attack
on the TV station was made
some months ago.
