"As of this afternoon, we have not found the black box; I'm not waffling on that one," said Lt. Gary Shrout, , spokesman for the U.S. Navy in Japan. A HIS SUPERIOR officer, Capt. Heber ' Darton, said he had been in contact with Washington and 7th Fleet headquarters in Hawaii, and "neither has anything at all to indicate any change in the situation.- President Reagan, asked by repor- ters in Washington if the United States AP Photo had recovered the recorders, replies, "I A have no knowledge that we have. No." W hat s hoppin ?

See U.S., Page 3 Reagan promises to heed War Powers Act 4 WASHINGTON (AP)-President Reagan said yesterday he would ask for congressional approval of any substantial expansion in the role of U.S. troops in Lebanon and would seek agreement with Congress if he thinks they must stay for more than 18 months. Reagan gave the assurances to anxious congressional leaders in a letter designed to calm fears that the administration may not live up to its end of the compromise struck with Congress. THOSE FEARS were aroused when Secretary of State George Shultz refused to tell a congressional panel what the ad- ministration plans to do with the troops af- ter 18 months. The compromise, which Reagan has said he will sign with reservations, is scheduled for a vote today or Thrusday in the Senate. Majority Leader Howard Baker, (R-Tenn.), has predicted it will be approved after a possible close vote on a move to reduce the 18-month period. It will then move to the House, where the deeply divided Democratic majority met in closed session on the issue yesterday without reaching agreement. THE COMPROMISE recognizes that a timetable for removal of the troops has been triggered under provisions of the 1973 War Powers Act because the troops are in a hostile situation. In return for this, it authorizes the administration to keep the 1,600 Marines at their peacekeeping posts for up to a year-and-a-half. Shultz, in testimony at congressional hearings last week, declined to be pinned down on what the administration would do at the end of 18 months, saying the president did not intend to surrender his constitutional authority as commander in chief of the armed forces. This prompted some critics in Congress to charge that the administration apparen- tly intended to renege on the deal. Shultz added fuel to the fire in a weekend inter- view in which he said the troops would be needed for as long as it took to install a stable government in Lebanon.

"I have an unbreakable commitment to increased funding for the IMF," the president told the formal opening of the joint annual meeting of the World Bank and IMF. "But Congress so far has failed to act to pass the enabling legislation." Reagan urged the Congress to be "mindful of its responsibility" and lay aside "partisan wrangling and political posturing." Speaker Thomas O'Neill has refused to move the legislation along until Reagan meets his demand for a letter of apology to 20 House Democrats who were attacked in a Republican campaign letter for "supporting com- munism" when they voted to support the president on the IMF bill. No Republicans were targeted in such a manner. Airlines fight to stay in flight MIAMI - Eastern Airlines accused its largest labor unions yesterday of "flirting with disaster" by refusing to accept a 15 percent wage cut that carrier President Frank Borman warned was the only way to avert financial ruin. A company spokesman said Eastern would not hesitate to file for bankrup- tcy if it did not get the wage concessions. Borman gave the unions until Oct. 12 to respond to the proposal. Meanwhile, in Houston, Continental Airlines resumed domestic service yesterday, 62 hours after filing for bankruptcy reorganization, and some of the 4,200 workers called back at lower pay and longer hours cheered the initial flight. The first plane took off from Dulles International Airport in Washington for Houston at 8 a.m. The first liftoff from Houston, company headquarters, came 42 minutes later, and employees at the gate cheered and wept. Falling jet debris ignites fires NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - A Republic Airlines jetliner landed safely yesterday after developing engine problems and spilling debris that ignited several rooftop blazes and a brushfire, authorities said. The incident started just after the twin-engine DC-9 Super 80 took off from Orange County's John Wayne International Airport. Republic said Flight 374 carried 69 passengers and five crew members and was destined for Chicago and Milwaukee. It returned to John Wayne and landed safely "without problems" following the 12:55 p.m. incident, airport Operations Supervisor Curtis Por- ter said. He added that there was no fire aboard the plane. "A Republic Airlines plane took off and lost power to one engine," Porter said. "I understand it also spilled parts from this engine onto Newport Beach." Porter said a helicopter crew flying nearby saw the debris fall to the ground and ignite the fires in the coastal community near the airport. Porter said the plane flew out over the Pacific Ocean and dumped fuel before landing safely. Major railroads agree to merge CHICAGO - Santa Fe Industries Inc. and Southern Pacific Co. yesterday announced an agreement to merge, bringing together two railroads that vir- tually built the Southwest. The deal is the sixth in a line of "mega-mergers" that one expert said typifies a "new golden age of railroads.' Under the agreement, the two companies will become subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, Santa Fe Southern Pacific Corp. The merger, announced by John Schmidt, chairman and cheif executive officer of Santa Fe Industries, and B.F. Biaggini, chairman and chief executive officer of Southern Pacific, is the latest in a list of rail mergers that began with the junction of New York Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1969. At a news conference at his company's headquarters in San Francisco, Biaggini said the "merger of equals" will produce "one of the world's largest and strongest companies." Robbery is motive in Texas fast-food killings KILGORE, Texas - Texas Ranger yesterday said robbery was the likely primary motive in a raid on a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and that a decision to abduct and kill five people was made at the scene. Ranger Glenn Elliott, participating in the two-county investigation, said the killers might have known that $2,000 - and unusually large amount - was in the restaurant till last Friday night. The killers robbed the restaurant at about closing time Friday night, took four employees and a visitor to a remote dirt road 10 miles south of town and shot them to death. The bodies were found Saturday, with three men and a woman lying together and a second woman lying 40 feet away, indicating she had run.
