Syria, PLO clash
on resolutions

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (M)4
- A Syrian diplomat said yes-
terday that Syria seeks the im-
plementation of all U.N. Mideast
resolutions, revealing possible
I differences with the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO).
The PLO made clear, in an
appearance Monday before the
Security Council, that it rejects
the 1967 and 1973 council reso-
lutions that form the corner-
stone for all Mideast peace ne-
gotiations. The resolutions do
not refer to Palestinian home-
land demands.
"We advocate the complete
implementation of all U.N. reso-
lutions without exception," Sy-
rian Ambassador Mouaffak Al-
paf told a reporter before the
council was to meet to continue
its Mideast debate.
Aplaf had been asked if Sy-
ria excluded the resolutions re-
jected by the PLO from those
it wanted carried out.
Syria, Egypt and Jordan were
scheduled to speak in the Tues-
day council session. Fellow Arab
countries named all three coun-
tries to a committee to draft
a resolution after Monday's
opening session of the debate.
Also named to the committee
were Libya and the PLO.
In Israel, soldiers shot and
killed four Arab guerrillas that
the Tel Aviv command said had
infiltrated on a terror mission
timed to coincide with the de-
bate. The command said leaf-
lets on the bodies identified
I them as members of the Arab

Rejection Front, which opposes
the PLO.
In New York. police found and
disarmed a bomb early yester-
day in front of the mission of
Iraq, about three miles from
U.N. headquarters. Three pipe
bombs were found Monday be-
neath the U.N. library building
timed to go off just before the
council debate began. Anony-
mous telephone callers said all
of the bombs had been planted
by the "Jewish Armed Resist-
ance Strike Unit in association
with the Jewish Defense
League."
Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the
PLO's political department, told
the council Monday that the
PLO was against Resolutions
242 and 338 of 1967 and 1973
and also the General Assembly's
1947 resolution favoring parti-
tion of Palestine into Arab and
Jewish states.
The Syrian ambassador said be-
fore yesterday's meeting:
"What we want is just the im-
plementation of U.N. resolutions,
that the Security Council fulfill
its responsibilities under 'the
charter with some action in or-
der to implement and to con-
firm the basic principles for a
peacgeful and just settlement."
He said that each resolution
concerned "a specific part of
the problem" - listing rights of
the Palestinians to return to
homes where Israel is now, Is-
raeli occupation of Arab terri-
tories and partition.

New, compact computer
reads' print to the blind

CAMBRIDGE, Mass (M) -
A desktop machine that can
"read" printed material aloud
to blind people was demonstra-
ted here yesterday by the small
computer firm that developed
it.
The machine speaks English
in a halting, sing-song voice
with what sounds like a mild
Swedish accent.1
THE COMPACT computeriz-
ed device can read books, mag-
azines or almost any printed
material in virtually any type-
face, its developers said.
Raymond Kurzweil, 27, its in-
ventor and president of Kurz-
Weil Computer Products, Inc.,.
said the device will be avail-
able to libraries and institu-
'tions in about 18 months. Blind
people will be able to buv them
for their homes in about four
years.
The mnrhine will cost about
$25,000 when it first goes on
the market. bt within five
veers the nr-e shorld he down
to abont V5.000 or $10.000, Kurz-'
Weil chid.
JAMES GASHEL, chief of th

Washington office of the .Na-
tional Federation of the Blind,
demonstrated the machine at
its first public showing Tuesday.
"I think we are going to have
a truly effective reading ma-
chine for the blind," he said.
"It isn't going to solve all of
the problems of the blind. But
it is a step forward so that the
blind can compete with more
equality."
To operate it, the blind per-
son places an open book or oth-
er printed page on a glass-top-
ped scanning device. Then the
machine studies the material
line by line, reading aloud at
about 200 words a minute.
THE MACHINE, a two-foot
cube about the size of a desk-
ton photocopier, speaks in a
deliberate, expressionless voice.
Tt is nrogrammed to give some
stress and parses, thoneh, to
make sentences intelligible.
At the demonstration, the ma-
chine read aloud a printed
ronv of Ahrinri Lincoln's Get-
tvb1rg Address. It also re-
n, ted a descrinption of itself,
tvred by a renorter, that be-

gan: "Hello. I am a compu-
ter . .
With a keyboard lettered in
Braille dots, the blind can slow
the machine down or make it
stop and spell out difficult
words.
The machine took five years
to develop, Kurzweil said. Some
of the work was done under
contract for the U. S. Depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare.

group of buildings and towers
covering 13 acres along the
