Growing Unrest in South Lebanon and the Territories
ADL Opposes
African Bias
NEW YORK — The
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith has reaffirmed
its opposition to apartheid
in South Africa and ex-
pressed suppoit for legisla-
tion requiring American
firms operating there to ob-
serve principles of equality
in employment.
In a resolution adopted at
the ADL national executive
committee meeting in Los
Angeles, ADL described
apartheid "as a particularly
abhorrent form of racial dis-
crimination."
The resolution, intro-
duced by Seymour D. Reich,
chairman of the ADL na-
tional civil rights commit-
tee, said ADL supports
adherence to the following
principles:
• Non-segregation of
the races in all eating,
_ comfort, locker rooms,
and work facilities;
• Equal and fair employ-
ment practices for all em-
ployees;
• Equal pay for all em-
ployees doing equal or com-
parable work for the same
period of time;
• Initiation and develop-
ment of training programs
that will prepare blacks,
coloreds, and Asians in sub-
stantial numbers for super-
visory, administrative, cler-
ical, and technical jobs;
Increasing the
•
number of blacks,
coloreds, and Asians in
management and super-
visory positions;
• Improving the quality of
employees' lives outside the
work environment in such
areas as housing, transpor-
•tation, schooling, recreation
and health facilities.
northern Lebanon to the
port area of Tripoli,
Lebanon's second largest
city.
Arafat and his loyalists
are clearly in trouble, out-
numbered by PLO dissi-
dents armed and controlled
by Syria, but he apparently
has the overwhelming sup-
port of Palestinians on the
West Bank. The organiza-
tion of Free Professionals in
Beit Hanina and the Feder-
ation of Labor Union, both
important Palestinian
bodies on the West Bank,
called for a cease-fire in
northern Lebanon and de-
nounced Syrian interven-
tion on the side of anti-
Arafat elements:-
Al Shaab and Al Fajr, the
two largest pro-PLO news-
papers in East Jerusalem,
condemned what they
called "Syrian-Libyan ag-
gression" in Tripoli.
Another major Arabic
newspaper, the conserva-
tive Al Kuds, compared the
attacks on Arafat to the
Sabra and Shatila refugee
camps massacre in Sep-
tember 1982.
The commercial strike
in East Jerusalem was
nearly total and several
schools remained closed
Monday. A strike in Nab-
lus was less successful.
Israeli troops intervened
there to curb stone-
throwing youths. Stones
also flew at Bir Zeit Uni-
versity and at the
Daheishe refugee camp
near Bethlehem where
the Israeli authorities
imposed a curfew.
Arab affairs experts con-
tended that the general
strike in south Lebanon was
called by El Amal, the
Shiite Moslem organiza-
tion. Meanwhile, Israel
kept a watchful eye on both
Syria; which mobilized its
reserves Monday, and
Tripoli where Arafat is
under heavy Syrian artil-
lery, mortar and rocket fire.
Haaretz reported that
Egypt has plans to evacuate
Arafat by sea and give him
haven, with Israel's tacit
consent.
Beirut was quiet Tues-
day after renewed fight-
ing over the weekend in
which one U.S. Marine
was wounded. About 200
Marines left their head-
quarters in Beirut Tues-
day and were ferried to
American troop trans-
ports lying offshore. U.S.
sources said they were to
be repatriated and re-
placed by a fresh Marine
contingent.
Israel, for its part, has
taken no action likely to add
to the tensions in the region.
Military authorities in-
sisted that a call-up of re-__
serves ordered Monday was
a limited exercise to test the
efficiency of the mobiliza-
tion machinery and had no
warlike intentions.

JERUSALEM (JTA) A
general strike in south
Lebanon Monday, a shut
down of businesses - in East
Jerusalem and a wave of
rock-throwing incidents on
the -West Bank reflected
growing turmoil in the
region rather than political
motives.
The Lebanese who shut
down their shops, markets
and banks in the principal
cities in the Israel-occupied
south were protesting the
closure of the Awali River
bridges, a precautionary
measure taken by the Isral
Defense Force following last
week's truck bomb attack
on-military headquarters in
Tyre.
No incidents were re-
ported apart from tire-
burning in some village
streets. The IDF did not
intervene. The Awali
bridges were partially
reopened Monday for
pedestrian and limited veh-
icular traffic under tight se-
curity control.
On the West Bank, the
populace was venting
frustration and rage
against - the Syrian-
backed attack on Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion chief Yasir Arafat,
who has been driven
from his last strongholds
