By AP and Reuter BEIRUT, Lebanon - Moslem leftists repulsed Lebanese army commandos trying to take over Beirut's hotel district yesterday. The Moslems capturedrthree armored personnel carirers and used them in attacks on Chris- tian strongholds. At least 34 bodies were re- covered yesterday, raising the toll of known dead since the start of the week to 287. HOUSE - TO - HOUSE fighting raged into the night. Massive explosions rocked this Arab capital as Premier Rashid Ka- rami announced another cease- fire-the 14th in Lebanon's eight- month civil war. The announcement created a split among Moslem forces ar- rayed against Lebanon's Chris- tian minority. Palestinian guer- rillas said they would abide by the cease-fire while Lebanese Moslem leftists rejected it. Rocket and mortar fire again hampered ambulances trying to bring out casualties. They re- covered, in addition to the bodies, 80 wounded. THE DEAD included two army commandos killed in the hotel district, a Greek Orthodox priest shot by snipers near parliament and a Maronite nun shot three times ir the' chest at the Saint Elie hospital. Christian - Moslem clashes in Zahle, 35 miles east of Beirut, claimed another 11 dead and 17 wounded. The plush St. Georges Hotel was gutted by fire started by rocket - propelled grenades and incendiary bullets. By nightfall, the 25-story Holiday Inn was ablaze for the second time since the highrise war began-along with two smaller hotels, a syna- gogue in the Jewish quarter, a movie theater and office com- plex and several gas stations. FIVE MORTAR rounds hit the government house, cracking the walls of Karami's office. All previous ceasefires achieved during the running battle between left and right- wing forces have collapsed into further bloodshed. Karami said this latest agree- ment was reached at a meeting of the Higher Coordination Com- mittee, which includes repre- sentatives of the security forces and the different factions. T H E PREMIER, doggedly persistent in the search for an end to Lebanon's troubles, said "all sides" had agreed that se- curity forces should be posted in strategic positions. But he did not explain how this had been agreed when the three major leftist factions now involved in the fight were ab- sent: the Progressive Socialists, the Independent Nasserites and the Communists. A Phalangist spokesman ex- pressed doubt the PLO stand would halt Moslem assaults on Christian positions. "First the a r m y and internal security forces must move in and drive them out of downtown Beirut," he said. MOSLEM militiamen captured two armored personnel carriers from army commendos near the Phoenicia hotel. They seized a third after Karami's cease-fire announcement as the carrier drove through the seaside resi- dential area of Ein Mreisseh,F near the U.S. embassy. Army troops gave up trying to dislodge Moslems occupying the St. Georges Hotel and pulled out of the Holiday Inn, which Christian Phalangist forces said they then occupied. Part of the 850-man govern- ment commando force remained inside the Phoenicia Intercon- tiental after the army's first ma- jor intervention of the war. But the rest of the troops moved to the Starco office center where right-wing militiamen of the Christian Phalange party were under heavy attack from left- wing Moslems of the "Ambush- ers" militia. information back to the com- IN RELATED actions yester- mittee. day: The compromise ended the third and possibly last fight be- tween the committee and Ford and his aides. Last September Ford cut off all secret information to the committee after it publicly dis- closed four words showing that' U.S. intelligence had monitored Egyptian communications just before the 1973 Mideast war. FORD AND the committee later worked out a compromise under which it agreed not to vote to make such information public without advance notice- and not to make it public with- out going to court if Ford de- clared its secrecy vital. The committee had voted 10 to 2 to subpoena Kissinger to turn over the State Department requests for covert operations. But Pike conceded the commit- tee was ready to overrule him if he pressed the contempt vote for Kissinger's refusal to fully comply. The chairman blamed the shift in the committee's position on "intensive lobbying" which he said came from both White CHARING CROSS BOOKSHOP Used, Fine and Scholarly Books 316 S.

At a public affairs forum, Pike said, "Here we are involved, not in intelligence gathering, but even in the assassination of somebody." -The House panel was told by McGeorge Bundy that CIA assassination plots were not authorized by the White House. Bundy, who served under two Democratic presidents, s a i d, however, that the White House was "not aware of everything done by the CIA."

Often, it's because they're keeping very irregular hours. That makes people less resistant," Ogden adds. Some students float through exams with a "pass now - die later" approach. They "wait until the last minute, stay up all night, take the exams and then collapse in front of the door in little puddles," says Davol.

ANOTHER, WHO declined to give her name, says, "A lot of times, kids want to get notes to excuse themselves from ex- ams. Some are really dumb, like this one yesterday who slept through his final. That fel- low was out of luck." HOWEVER, nurse Vivian Ardnt says that most patients requesting medical excuses have valid reasons. But "they want immediate attention and immediate antibiotics," she adds. "More people complain of anxiety, but they recognize their own anxiety. With the diz- ziness that goes along with flu, they're just not able to concen- trate," Ardnt concludes. I COUWD SAVE a FRIENWS UFE.

But the' new bill increases standard deductions, for those who do not itemize, and increases the existing $30 credit for every taxpayer and each dependent to $45. SINCE~THE bill covers only six months, expiring July 1, the value of the tax reductions would be cut by one-half unless Congress later extends the cuts. However, because the new cuts would expire in the middle of an election year, Congress is likely to extend them for an- other six months. The Senate bill would reduce taxes in the first six months of 1975 by $6.24 billion, compared with $6.47 billion voted by the House. Of the Senate amount, all but $590 million, represent- ing a cut for small business, would go to individuals. CONGRESSI.O N A L tax experts say that a family of four with $15,000 income would expect to pay $1,101 in taxes if the Senate bill is passed and then extended for the re- mainder of 1976. That would be $270 less than if the current, temporary reductions expired. A single person making $15,- 000 would save $45; a married couple with no dependents at that income level would save $90. The most significant differ- ence between the Senate and House bills is an extension of the "work bonus" for poor working families with children included in the Senate version. Under this provision, a work- ing family with children is al- lowed to escape taxation on 10 per cent of its earned income up to $4,000, and lesser amounts on income between $4,000 and $8,000. OTHER features of the Sen- ate bill: " Increases the minimum standard deduction to $1,800 for single persons and $2,200 for joint returns, from the current $$1,600 and $1,900 respectively; " Increase the $30-per-person tax credit to $45; and *rExtends for six months the corporate tax-rate changes vot- ed earlier this year.
