The Michigan Daily -Tuesday, September 21, 1982-Page 5 Begin considers inquiry of Palestinian massacre From AP and UPI TEL AVIV, Israel- Prime Minister Menachem Begin, pressed for a full ac- count of Israel's role in the Beirut massacre, will consider establishing an independent inquiry commission, Israel Television reported yesterday. President Yitzhak Navon, in a rare intrusion into government affairs by a ceremonial head of state, said Israel owed it to itself and "the civilized world" to make an impartial inquiry in- to the massacre. MILITARY officials and Begin's Cabinet issued detailed statements disputing Israeli press claims that the government knew for 36 hours that civilians were being killed in the Sabra and Chatilla Palestinian camps of west Beirut before they intervened. In Jerusalem, a senior Israeli official said the Lebanese army has agreed to move into the Chatilla, Sabra and Fakahani Palestinian refugee camps on the outskirts of west Beirut at 10 a.m. Sunday morning (2 a.m. EDT). The massacre of the Palestinians in the two camps spurred negotiations that had been scheduled between the Lebanese and Israeli army officers, the official said. President Navon, on state radio and television, made a veiled call for resignations if the responsibility falls on Israeli figures, as he used the Israeli political euphemism for resignation- "to draw conclusions.' Navon said: "Our obligation to our- selves and to the civilized world of which we consider ourselves part°is to clarify immediately and precisely, through reliable and independent men, everything that occurred in this unfor- tunate business. If it should be shown to be necessary, then we must draw the full conclusions from this examination." THE NATIONAL Religious Party, part of Begin's ruling coalition in Parliament, supported the demand for an inquiry. The television said former President Ephraim Katzir and two leading academics also issued calls for an investigation. "The government may very well decide to establish a committee of its own accord," Minister without Por- tfolio Yitzhak Modai said on television, "but with a personality who will be ac- ceptable to all circles in Israel and preferrably circles outside Israel too." Begin will consider proposing an inquiry' commission at a Cabinet meeting scheduled for today, Israel Television said. It reported initially that the prime minister had agreed to such a commission, but made a correc- tion later. Begin's government indicated earlier it would reject calls for an official inquiry into the slaughter, which has strained relations with Washington and led to the recall of the Egyptian am- bassador.

Reagan sends Marines back to Lebanon Reagan *requests legislation to end *rail strike WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan asked Congress to bring a halt to the nationwide rail strike yesterday after talks between the railroads and engineer's union collpased and a federal mediator reported "no reasonable prospect" of a settlement. "The nation cannot afford a prolonged rail strike," Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis told reporters after meeting with the president. Within minutes of the announcement at the White House, Senate Majority' Leader Howad Baker said the House and the Senate would begin separate hearings on the president's reqdest this morning. Lewis said the president. wants Congress to approve legislation that would impose on the railroads and engineers the recommendations of a special presidential commission established during the 64-day cooling off -period that ended Sunday. That commission urged that the hotly disputed issue of wage differentials between 26,000 locomotive engineers and other train crew members be tur- ned over to a special study commission for further talks after the overall con- tract is approved. It also urged a "no strike" requirement on the union over the pay.differences. The Brotherhood for Locomotive Engineers, whose walkout early Sun- day halted most of the nation's rail freight service and some passenger trains, has opposed the special com- mission's recommendation on pay dif- ferences.

He said they were being sent at the request of the Lebanese gover- nment "to protect the civilian population" and to contribute to "a return of the whole country to the ex- clusive authority of the legitimate government" of Lebanon. Yesterday afternoon in a nationally televised address from the White House Oval Office, President Reagan said, "It is essential that Israel withdraw from Beirut." "NOW IS the time for action," Reagan declared pointedly in the wake of the weekend massacre of Palestinian men, women and children refugees in west Beirut by Christian militia units that passes through Israeli lines. The president said that in response to a Lebanese government request for help, he has agreed to form "a new multinational force" with French and Italian forces. But for this multinational force to succeed it is essential that Israel with- draw form Beirut," he said. 'The participation of American forces in Beirut will again be for a limited period," he said. "But I have .con- cluded that there is no alternative to their returningato Lebanon if that coun- try is to have a chance to. stand on its own feet." Reagan said U.S. Ambassador Morris Draper will remain in the Mid- dle East to work for full implemen- tation of U.S. policy goals in the area, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon. THE PRESIDENT added special Middle East envoy Philip Habib will join Draper and "represent me at the inauguration of the new president of Lebanon." Habib will also consult with leaders in the area and "return prom- ptly to report to me," he said. apan s'43 bomb plans failed egan trn In ' 1 ied an The Prime Minister commented that the atomic bomb, but failed partly because war might be decided by atomic bombs.

(UPI) - A judge yesterday cleared the way for a special meeting of Bendix Corp. stockholders today where measures will be presen- ted to stop unwanted takeover attempts by Martin Marietta Corp. and United Technologies Corp. Judge Grover Brown of state chan- cery court in Wilmington, where Ben- dix is incorporated, refused to grant Marietta's request for a preliminary in- junction to delay Bendix's shareholders meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. today at Bendix headquarters in Southfield. BENDIX, WHICH last Friday advan- ced its hostile $1.7 billion takeover at- tempt of Marietta by purchasing a con- trolling interest in the company, is now maneuvering to block Marietta from going ahead with its threatened plans to buy a controlling interest in Bendix. Marietta, the Bethesda, Md., missile maker, is legally cleared to begin buying Bendix shares under its $1.5 billion counter-takeover offer after midnight tomorrow. Should Marietta succeed in acquiring a majority interest, Bendix and Mariet- ta would be in the unique positin of owning each other and the question of who controlled whom would likely have to be resolved in the courts. But if the Bendix corporate charter amendments are approved at today's meeting, Marietta could be foiled in exercising control over Bendix even it it succeeded in buying a majority of Ben- djx shares. As a result, approval of the corporte charter amendments is the one remaining condition Marietta has listed on which it could drop its bid for Ben- 'dix. The two amendments up for approval at the stockholders meeting are also designed to thwart the $1.5 billion takeover attempt of Bendix 1. Sweet and sour pork....................... $3.60 2.

"I'm sorry anyone has misgivings," .said Billy Frye, vice president for Wacademic affairs. "We've listened very rcarefully when we've had (hearings) in the past, and we will in the future." REGARDLESS, Herr and others in the school, which was named for exten- sive review last spring, say they intend to make an impressive show of force at the hearings, scheduled for Oct. 1 and Oct. 5. To that end, Nancy Yakes, who recently received her master's degree I from the school, has arranged for representatives from the state Depar- tment of Natural Resources, professors from Michigan State University, professors from other University departments, and Univesity alumni to speak on the school's behalf. "It would be nice to have students speak, but what we're looking for more is to try to get people who would have more impact on the committee," said Herr, "and, of course, trying to stuff the place. We're going to get as many people to sign up to speak as possible." ALTHOUGH the faculty committee reviewing the school originally hoped to have its recommendation prepared by this month, a member of the group, Prof. Alan Deardorff, said the decision Mon.-Thurs. 11:15-10 p.m. Friday 11:15-Midnight 2161 W. Stadium Saturday 12-12 Sunday 12-10 p.m. 769- 5722 has been delayed until after the hearings. In contrast to those from the natural resources school, students and professors from the two other programs - ILIR and ISMRRD - say they have no grand plans for their hearings. Charles Tait, director of the ISMRRD, seeming more resigned to possible cutbacks or elimination of his program, pointed out that past hearings had not gone well for ISMRRD. They were sparsely attended, with testimony attacking as well as defending the program, he said. His new hearing is scheduled for tomorrow at 2 p.m. I Don't Let a Bad Break Disrupt your College Budget Whether it's an intramural football injury or a surprise attack of appendicitis, an unanticipated sickness or accident can result in large medical bills. And if you're like most college students, your budget doesn't allow for any "bad breaks." That's why it's a good idea to help protect yourself against the medical expenses of an unexpected sickness or accident by enrolling now in the 1982-83 Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, approved by the MSA for University of Michigan students and their dependents. Underwritten by Mutual of Omaha, this plan provides hospital-surgical protection for covered sickness and accidents - plus benefits for X-rays, e Omdha I. I ~1~ 4 H- -1- -1~ A hundred dollars.
