A Page 2-Saturday, February 5, 1983-The Michigan Daily PLO hard liners push Arafat to reject Reagan peace plan IN BRIEF From AP and UPI DAMASCUS, Syria - Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat is facing a rebellion by hard-line factions that threatens to end any chance the PLO will join President Reagan's Middle East peace initiative. The challenge to Arafat's moderate policies could lead to a showdown next week at meetings in Algiers of the PLO's Executive Committee and the Feb. 14 Palestine National Council, the group's parliament in exile. THE REAGAN plan did not call for an independent Palestinian state, but suggested the Palestinian residents of the Israeli-occupied territories set up an association with neighboring Jor- dan. Arafat is expected to be re-elected chairman, but may be forced to adopt a harder line. Arafat will be called to account for his talks with King Hussein on a con- federation with Jordan, his contacts with Egypt - which was ostracized by the Arab world for signing a peace treaty with Israel - and most of all for failing to consult or inform other PLO leaders of his plans and initiatives. "THIS WILL be one of the most im- portant meetings in the history of the PLO," said Bassam Abu-Sharif, a member of the PLO's Central Commit- tee and the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Meanwhile, conflict continued in Lebanon as Druze and Christian fighting overflowed from the Lebanese mountains yesterday, sending shells and rockets smashing into east Beirut and killing five people. Stray shells hit U.S. Marine positions. The 90-minute barrage against the Christian half of the capital hit as the streets were crowded with early evening traffic, sending people scurrying for cover. CHRISTIAN Palange radio reported five people were killed and 44 wounded in the attack on the city, with most leaving hospitals after treatment. The radio said three civilians died in a car hit by a shell near the same spot where police said another shell killed two members of the Lebanese security police and wounded five. There was no immediate report on the casualties in the fighting on the edge of the city. The Marines said the stray shells in their area landed har- mlessly. In southern Lebanon, three ex- plosions rocked the Ayoun area 8 miles north of Israel's northernmost city of Metullah, the Israeli Military said. Israel radio said there were no in- juries and no damage in the area, where U.N. peace-keeping forces have been deployed since 1978. The radio quoted the U.N. group command as saying it did not detect any shelling yesterday. The fighting near Beirut, which has continued almost non-stop for six days, erupted when radio reports said there was an unsuccessful attempt to kill a Druze leader Thursday night by-setting off a bomb near his car. New VD tests will be quicker and cheaper WASHINGTON (AP) - Costly and time- consuming tests to diagnose venereal diseases and other maladies caused by micro-organisms should soon be replaced by quicker and cheaper techniques under development, scientists say. Government researchers have developed a quick, new test to diagnose herpes virus infections, something that will help pregnant women who fear- that these infections could endanger their babies, say scientists at the National Institutes of Health. THE TESTS currently take up to seven days to con- firm the herpes virus, compared with only one day for the new method, they say. At the same time, scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle report they have developed tests to quickly detect gonorrhea, chlamydia and herpes, three of the most common venereal diseases. The tests, developed with the aid of two private companies, eventually could lead to reliable, 20- minute diagnoses of these sexually transmitted diseases instead of the several days it takes with present methods, said the report. THE MOST immediate application of the new NIH test will affect pregnant women known to have previously acquired genital herpes. They fear that the incurable venereal disease might unexpectedly flare up to an infectious stage at the time of delivery. The virus is particularly dangerous to newborns because of their underdeveloped immune systems, Herpes infections in babies can result in blindness, hearing loss, seizures, mental retardation, per- manent brain damage, and death. Studies indicate that between 40 percent and 60 percent of infants delivered vaginally by mothers wih active genital herpes become infected, and the mor- tality rate for these babies is about 50 percent. EXPERTS estimate that one in 7,000 babies is born with herpes. Because of the time it takes to run stan- dard tests, a woman near term may not find out she has an active infection until after the baby is delivered. The NIH test, said to be about 100 percent accurate, was developed by Drs. Lata Nerurkar, Annamma Jacob, David Madden, and John Sever of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disor- ders and Stroke.

English Prof. Stephen Tchudi said a comeback for traditional, multi-use an- thologies will "do very little to make reading a more important part of young people's lives." IN THE 1960s and early 1970s studen- ts "were reading the kind of books which allowed them to find connection to their own lives," he said. "This gave the study of literature more impact," he said. The return to using large, standar- dized anthologies, he said, is motivated in part by fiscal considerations. Tchudi said, "It's less expensive for school districts to invest in these multi- use books than in single-use books such as novels, and school districts are faced with lower book-buying budgets these days." Fear of censorship is another motivation, he says. "Parents overestimated the 'dangers' of books. If children read a four-letter word, it doesn't mean they're going to wind up shooting heroin in the alley." 0C7. note.S.

The main part of Cosmos 1402, weighing several tons, made its fiery entry Jan. 23, with any remaining debris plunging into the Indian Ocean about 1,800 miles southeast of the Indian subcontinent Air Force officials said the spyship's reactor section, believed to contain about 100 pounds of enriched uranium, weighs only a few hundred pounds and is orbiting the Earth once every 88 minutes. It was separated from the main radar and guidance section when a Soviet- ordered maneuver in late December failed to loft the satellite into a higher "parking" orbit that would have kept it in space for up to 800 years. Salvadoran rebels route government forces in North SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Leftist guerrillas fighting on three fronts routed government defenders in one town and attacked another yesterday just six miles from a provincial capital serving as base for a 6,000-man army drive. The 20-day government counteroffensive in northeastern Morazan provin- ce in which 6,000 men participated has failed to drive off rebels using the nor- thern reaches of the province as one of their main bases, military officers said. Guerrillas attacked the Morazan village of Sociedad, just six miles east of the provincial capital of San Francisco Gotera, a city of 10,000 residents 76 miles northeast of San Salvador, officers said. No casualties were reported in the two-hour attack. Nicaraguan troops kill 73 rightest guerillas near border MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Nicaraguan troops killed 73 rightest guerrillas inspired by U.S.-Honduran war games in two clashes near the Honduran border in Miskito Indian territory, the government said yesterday. The heaviest fighting occurred last Saturday in the Nicaraguan border town of Bismuna, where 58 rightists were killed, the Defense Ministry said, and another 15 "counterrevolutinaries" died in comb'at Sunday in nearby Cano La Leona. A ministry spokesman said five Sandinista Army soldiers died and five more were wounded in the fighting about 200 miles northeast of Managua in Zelaya Norte province and about six miles from the border with Honduras' Gracias a Dios province. U.S., China revive dialogue on arms sales to Taiwan PEKING Secretary of State George Shultz and Chinese Communist leaders cautiously revived a military dialogue yesterday despite China's anger over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. Shultz, nearing the end of four days of extensive talks in Peking, concludes his visit today by conferring with China's most authoritative leader Deng Xiaoping, architect of China's decision to normalize relations with the United States in 1979 after three decades of hostility and suspicion. Shultz met with Defense Minister Zhang Aiping and they agreed to set up a group to explore military issues. It was the first forward step on military matters since former secretary of State Alexander Haig announced two years ago that the United States was ready to consider selling weapons to China on a case-by-case basis. The Chinese never accepted the offer because of the dispute over U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan, seat of the rival Chinese Nationalist government. Peking considers Taiwan a renegade province and has demanded that the sales stop. U.S. officials say the new group is authorized to do no more than study possibilities for increased cooperation in military medicine and professional military training, both areas in which cooperation and changes have con- tinued. Weinberger angers Israelis Israeli officials yesterday accused Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger of looking for fights and playing "a dangerous game" by praising a Marine who drew a gun on an Israeli tank patrol in Beirut. Meanwhile, Christian east Beirut came under renewed Druse shelling and France prepared to send more peacekeepers to Lebanon. In Tel Aviv, Economics Minister Yaacov Meridor said Weinberger was looking for a fight with Israel by saying that Israeli actions in dealing with Marines stationed near Beirut were "both unnecessary and basically damaging to the president's efforts to "secure peace in the whole area." On Wednesday Marine Capt. Charles Johnson waved a pistol an an Israeli tank patrol during a dispute over which side had control over a piece of territory in the Lebanese capital, and Weinberger praised Johnson's conduct as worthy of a commendation. Meridor told Israel radio: "There are factions that do not particularly like us, like Weinberger. He doesn't praise Israel every Monday and Thursday. They are looking for conflicts." An Israeli Foreign Ministry official, briefing reporters on condition he not be named, said Weinberger may have reacted without knowing all the facts of the incident, and said the Israeli Embassy in Washington would discuss the matter with the Pentagon and the State Department. ti a Batig Vol. XCIII, No. 104 Saturday, February 5, 1983 The Michigan Daily is ea. ,ed and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
