But he added that "the whole matter is still being examined" and said the government would draw no conclusions "before it has all the facts before it." The military command said a unit of the Syrian peacekeep- ing force in Lebanon moved Monday into the southern town of Nabatiyeh, a mostly Moslem settlement just eight miles from the tip of Israel's north- eastern panhandle. T H E SEMI - OFFICIAL Israeli state radio, quoting Is- raeli sources, said the Syrian force was an infantry battalion equipped with armored vehic- les.

The line is generally taken to mean Lebanon's Litani Riv- er. But in deciding whether the "red line" has been violated, the Israeli government is expected to consider such factors as the size and firepower of any unit entering the area. THE ISRAELIS have also warned against a new buildup of Palestinian forces in the re- gion, which served as a spring- boardkforbcross-border guerrilla attacks before the Lebanese war. Because Syria supports the Palestinian cause, Israel fears a resurgence of guerrilla activ- ity if the Syrians take control of southern Lebanon. Speaking to reporters during a visit to the Dead Sea, Peres said Israel would "continue to insist upon its red line." Peres reported on the situa- tion to parliament's foreign af- fairs and security 'committee, which usually meets for top- secret deliberations on military and diplomatic crises. A SYRIAN-DOMINATED Arab League peacekeeping force has been enforcing a three-month- old cease-fire in the Lebanese civil war. It waced problems in southern Lebanon, however, because right-wing Christian and left-wing Moslem forces have continued sporadic fight- ing. Beirut radio said Monday that Syrian troops were deploying near Palestinian refugee camps around Nabatiyeh. In Washington, President Car- ter announced he would send Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on a six-nation Mideast tour Feb. 14-21. He said the trip would underline the importance "of making significant progress this year" toward peace in the area. U WHAT IS THE ACCELERATED PROGRAM IN PUBLIC POLICY ?

This canoe is about half finished. Wire mesh goes over the frame, then the cement is spread. Flight class en HOW DO THEY FLOAT? Cement canoe By ELAINE ELSON Building and racing concrete canoes seems an unlikely hobby, but students from the Quar- terdeck Society - an honorary society of the Naval Architecture School - and the American 1 Society of Civil Engineers' student chapter, (ASCE), are hunting for a trailer to transport their concrete crafts to early spring races. "We do it for fun and to gain practical ex- perience in designing," says Stuart Cohen, chairman of Quarterdeck's Concrete C a n o e Committee. "We design the canoes to float and paddle easily." COHEN, a Naval Architecture major and graduating senior, explains why the concrete canoes don't sink. "It's Archimedes' Principle," he said. "If the object displaces more water than it weighs, then it will float. Water is 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot. So if something is one foot on a side and weight 60 lbs., it doesn't matter what it is made out of - feathers, steel, pressed saw- dust. If it holds together, it will float." The American Concrete Institute (ACI), has sanctioned these annual races for six years and will do so again for this year's late April to early May race. - NEW YORK (P) - Thirty- sdesigned to conquer the fear of Approximately 22 students started planning flying, which many of them the anoe in ovemer,'and building began feel is a fear of dying, took a the canoes i November, d 406 - mile plane ride Tuesday- three weeks ago. but not until they had signed The Canoe Committee has almost completed releases in case the plane two of the three stages necessary before the crashed.I race.

The ride from John F. Ken- nedy Airport down the Jersey coast, over Harrisburg, Pa. and back was free; and many grad- uates took along their spouse for comfort. The course cost $100. "It was great. I can't believe it was so easy," said Dr. Har- vey Lazofson, a general practi- tioner from Philadelphia,.as the first of some 90 half-pints of champagne were handed out. "FIRST IT WAS the fear of dying. But once you learn the plane can fly, then it's just the fear of personal panic," Lazof- son said. After signing the release, the passengers were given a pep talk by their professor, Capt. W. T. "Slim" Cummings, a vet- eran pilot and former psycholo- gist. Cummings, who during the past two years has held similar graduations for 700 persons in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, De- troit, Philadelphia, Houston and Miami, estimates the fear of air travel affects about 25 mil- 7 ds fear lion Americans, including those who have a phobia and fly re- luctantly.

"I hope I can make it later. This is different. We're all in this together. Nobody will be with me later. "All it is is a fear of dying. I hate it. I'm always so ner- vouse," Miss Goldberg said. "I've even drawn blood from strangers sitting next to me."
