Carter, Ford, other top *UoSo'officilsa tovisiU head t From AP and UPI BEIRUT, Lebanon - The Lebanese Parliament conducted its second presidential election in less than a mon- th yesterday, replacing the slain Bashir Gemayel with his brother Amin, a 39- year-old lawyer who vowed to "shoulder the monumental respon- sibility ... of reuniting and reconstruc- ting Lebanon." The new president-elect, a Maronite Christian, was voted into office 77-0 with three abstentions among the Moslem and Christian deputies atten- ding a special session of the Parliament. A contingent of 1,800 Marines boar- ded a five-ship task force headed to Beirut yesterday after the' Israeli Cabinet agreed to the return of the multi-national force. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said they could be in Lebanon within 72 hours to join French and Italian troops in the shattered city. THE REAGAN administration said that Israel must shoulder the respon- sibility for the massacres in Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut last week, which prompted the U.S. to send in the Marines. John Hughes, the State Department spokesman, said "the fact is that Israel assumed responsibility for military control of Beirut, and these events did happen during that period when Israel assumed military control." President Reagan and top ad- ministration officials said yesterday there is no way of knowing how long the U.S. Marines will remain in Lebanon. oward BOTH SECRETARY of State George Shultz and White House spokesman Larry Speakes repeated that the president expects it to be "of limited duration." Under the 1973 War Powers Act, the president can deploy U.S. troops over- seas for 60 days and, under extraor- dinary circumstances for up to 90 days, before he must seek congressional ap- proval. Details on how the troops wil be deployed have not been worked out yet, Weinberger told reporters, but he said their mission will be "very limited" Beirut and that they will not patrol Beirut's streets or function as a police force. HE SAID HE expects the Marines would be withdrawn if a combat situation developed. Weinberger said yesterday that the presence of the multinational force in Beirut should "produce some breathing room" for the new government in Lebanon to establish itself. Lebanon's new president, Amin Gemayel, will be sworn in tomorrow to replace President Elias Sarkis for a six- year term.

The attraction for these and many other former officials will be two ational political conferences to be held t the Ford Presidential Library on North Campus, one in November and one in February. NOVEMBER'S conference-a national forum on foreign policy-will bring in Ford and the former top State Department, officials, including Dean Rusk, Wilham Rogers, Edmund Muskie, and Alexander Haig. Former National Security advisers Zbigniew Brzenski and Brent Scowcroft have also agreed to come. In February, Ford will join the man who took the presidency from him, Jimmy Carter, for a separate national forum on domestic policy. Both will deliver major addresses on current issues, mainly Social Security, jobs, and productivity. The director of the Ford Library, Don Wilson, said that while final arrangements still have to be made, "we are anticipating some (represen- tatives) from the current ad- ministration" to attend the February conference. ANN ARBOR was chosen for the event; which is bound to draw nation- wide attention, because its sponsors wanted it to be held at a presidential library. And since Ford agreed to preside over the forum, his library was chosen. According to Wilson, it was Ford who invited Carter to join him as co-chairman of the conference. Although the conference's sponsor, the Ohio-based Domestic Policy Association, has billed the conference as an attempt to bring together top policymakers with common citizens, the public will not be invited to the forum. Instead, the leaders will hear from about 10 representatives of town meetings across the country, who will deliver presentations on the main issues. "The main reason (why the public will not be allowed) is the lack of space, and secondly, when you have two for- mer presidents, the security is un- believable," said Wilson. See CARTER, Page 3 JERUSALEM (AP) - Prime Minister Menachem Begin's gover- nment yesterday rejected calls for an official inquiry into the Palestinian refugee camp massacres. Controversy and strife over the mass slayings in west Beirut erupted across a broad political spectrum in Israel. There were accusations of a cover-up demonstrations by Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs, and strikes and violence in the occupied West Bank. ISRAELI TROOPS fired live am- munition and rubber bullets at rock- throwing Palestinian youths in Nablus, but no injuries were reported. Police turn the screws on wayward bicyclists Begin's Cabinet met for 5 hours against the background of Washington's insistent demand for an immediate Israeli withdrawal from Beirut and a domestic clamor for a complete accounting of how the massacre occurred and whether Israel should bear some responsbility for it. Begin's spokesman, Ura Porat, quoted the prime minister as telling his cabinet, "Goyim (gentiles) gilled goyim and already the world wants to hang the Jews." Israel has said Lebanese Christian militiamen carried out the killings in the camps, where the See ISRAEL, Page 7 Railroad workers ordere by Senate to end strike, From AP and UPI WASHINGTON- The Senate voted Tuesday night to order 26,000 striking locomotive engineers to end their nationwide railroad strike, but House action was not planned for at least another day. The measure, approved on a voice vote, requires the union to accept a set- tlement recommended by a special commission that had been named during a 60-day cooling-off period. Most of the nation's freight trains and many Amtrak passenger trains in the West and South, meanwhile, remained idle as the walkout by 26,000 locomotive engineers headed into its fourth day. THE TRANSPORTATION Depar- tment estimated the cost of the strike at between $500 million to $1 billion to the struggling economy. The rail shutdown has put 450,000 people out of work, most of them in the rail industry, and stran- ded commuters in several cities.

"I wouldn't call it a crackdown, but we are enforcing (the traffic laws). A bicycle should be operated the same as a car, observing stoplights, stop signs and one-way street signs," said Capt. Kenneth Klinge of the Ann Arbor Police Department. KLINGE DID not give a specific reason for the increase in ticketing, but he pointed to a growing concern about bicycle-related injuries in the city as one possible explanation. "We want to try and keep the bicyclists alive and in school until next year," said Police Officer Craig Mason. For those unlucky cyclists who are caught biking straight down State Street from Olga's to the Michigan *Union, an additional trip to the city's Fifteenth District Court will be necessary. To pay the ticket, the bicyclist must go to the court clerk within 14 days, or on the date set on the ticket, according to Court Clerk James Lesser. AT THE COURT, the bicyclist has the 'The biker who runs red lights or stop signs makes enemies of every motorist who's waiting for the light. I don't want to be the next biker they see.' -Thomas Pendleton, city bicycle coordinator option to pay a fine of $20 (for any violation) or plead not guilty, in which case the police officer is contacted, and a hearing is held before a district court judge. Neither the police department nor the court has a record of the number of recent traffic violations, but Klinge said ticketing "has probably in- creased." Thomas Pendleton, the city's bicycle coordinator, said he is in favor of the increased ticketing. "As long as we've got bikers who are getting hit by other bikers, we've got to clamp down. The biker who runs red lights or stop signs makes enemies of every motorist who's waiting for the light. I don't want to be the next biker they see." PENDLETON said he does not think Ann Arbor has adequate facilities for all its bicyclists. "We're trying to get some money to do something; bike paths are very expensive." Pendleton estimates that building a bike path would cost 'about $50,000 a mile. Bicyclists are permitted by law to ride on the sidewalks where the roads can- not accommodate them, but pedestrians do not appreciate that, he added.

Quickly, some industrious Law Review students formed a book brigade, hauling books out of the danger more of the city's finest are becoming pregnant. The new flexibility was introduced because some precinct comman- ders would not allow pregnant officers to wear maternity clothes "until they literally couldn't fit into their uniforms anymore," said Deputy Police Commissioner Alice McGillion. Commissioner Robert McGuire said he has ap- pointed a committee to find a "modest, practical, attrac- tive maternity uniform." McGillion said other major police departments also do not have maternity uniforms. She said they let women wear civilian maternity clothes. But McGuire said that because the women were fully sworn of- ficers, they should wear an appropriate uniform. Halston on the citation," said Iowa State Patrol trooper Bob Kin- seth. Kinseth said he clocked the full-length, custom- decorated bus at 75 m.p.h., Monday evening on Interstate 80 and pulled it over, hoping that the singing star was on board. "But he wasn't there. I guess they rarely travel together," he said. The six-person backup group was on its way from South Dakota to the Chicago area, members told him. Kinseth did get a tour of the bus.
