Streetcar named Desire
Presumably, this streetcar was named after the famous play "Streetcar Named Desire" by
Tennessee Williams. Right now the old vehicle stands on a downtown New Orleans street,
waiting to be moved to a local museum where officials say it will go. Williams lived in
Louisiana.

Cleveland robbery foiled
By AP and Reuter
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Moslem
gunmen appeared to gain the
upper hand yesterday in Leba-
non's civil war as they and their
Palestinian allies overran the
last forward Christian militia
outpost in the downtown hotel
district and moved into the
shadow of the 25-story Holiday
Inn.
Youths in green fatigues,
armed with Soviet-made AK-47
assault rifles and backed by .50
caliber machine guns, poured
through the Qantari district on
a downhill run toward the bat-
tle - scarred 500-room hotel.
"T O N I G H T we'll move
ahead," a Moslem gunman told
an Associated Press photog-
rapher following the advance.
"This was just a probe."
A spokesperson for the 6,000-
man Phalange militia said
Christian forces still controlled
the Holiday Inn and the Phoe-
nicia, a neighboring 500-room
hotel. Phalangist snipers fired
from the roof o fthe Holiday
Inn.
Americans were evacuated
from the Excelsior and the St.
Georges Hotels, which were oc-
cupied by Phalangist gunmen
fighting leftist Moslems who are
advancing downhill toward the
Isea.
A LEFT - WING Palestinian
guerrilla official whose troops
supported the Lebanese Mos-
lems ,attack said Christians
from the right-wing Phalangist
party militia "have suffered a
military defeat."
The Christians now stand iso-
lated in their traditional strong-
holds of Ashrafiyeh and Ein
Rummaneh, and in the narrow-
ing circle around the hotel dis-
trict.
Their forces in the downtown
hotels also risk getting pinch-
ed off from the main enclaves.
ON ONE SIDE the Christims
are bordered by the Moslem-
held Ein Mreisseh district near
the U. S. Embassy and leading
to northern areas controlled by'.
the Palestinian guerrillas.
Moslem gunmen claimed they
also were pushing into the Zei-
touny neighborhood of strip
clubs and seaside pickup bars.
This would cut the Phalangist
gunmen around the hotels from
their main forces in AshrafiyehI
and Ein Rumanneh.
The battles raged. despite Pre-
mier Rashid Karami's an-
nouncement Wednesday night
of new agreements to enforce'
a cease-fire with backing from
Yasir Arafat and other moder-
ate Palestinian leaders.
"We still hope the warring!
factions will evacuate the com-
bat positions in order to exe-
cute the cease-fire completely
and ensure tranquility for the
population," Karami said short-
ly before the Moslem advance.;
