The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 29, 1984-- Page 5 Mideast envoy to step down, U.S. officials say WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan's special Mideast envoy, Donald Rumsfeld, is expected to resign n after one more trip to the region, partly \.. out of frustration that American policy in Lebanon hasn't worked, informed U.S. officials said yesterday. G.:;The post is likely to go to Laurence " *Silberman, the former ambassador to Yugoslavia who will accompany Rum- sfeld on his next trip to the region, said a senior official, who insisted on anonymity. Silberman is currently an *ijjqipw aunpaid consultant to the State Depar- tment on Middle East issues. THE DATES of Rumsfeld's next trip to the Middle East were still undecided, but he is expected to make the trip soon. 3 The senior official said, however, that . Rumsfeld probably will not visit . *Lebanon, reflecting the ad- ...ministration's judgment that matters there are now out of U.S. hands. Rumsfeld, who was in Washington for consultations with other administration officials, was not available for com- ment. AP Photo Larry Speakes, the White House A Shiite Moslem mitiaman fires toward East Beirut yesterday as the fighting continues along Beirut's "Green line," spokesman,said he was not aware of seperating the east and west parts of the city. "THE PRESIDENT is grateful for Lebanese-Syrian leaders to hold Summt Rumsfeld's service and he looks for- ward to continuing working with him," said Speakes, adding that Reagan had "strong, firm, solid, unwavering" sup- port for the Mideast envoy. Like his predecessors, Rumsfeld has been discouraged by American failure to resolve the crisis in Lebanon in ways favorable to the United States and will probably return to private business, said the senior official. The official noted that Rumsfeld has always con- sidered the job temporary. The job of Middle East envoy was an unpaid position. "I think Rumsfeld will visit the region one more time and then get out," the official said. "He has suffered the fate of all Lebanese-Middle East negotiators" - becoming frustrated at the lack of success in achieving policy goals. Administration officials admit privately that U.S. policy to bring peace to Lebanon has failed and that hopes for a diplomatic solution now rest with Saudi Arabia. ANOTHER State Department of- ficial, who also expected Rumsfeld to resign, said Rumsfeld's frustrations went even deeper. He said Rumsfeld "felt he had no policy to work with." Rumsfeld ... expected to step down * Rumsfeld, 52, is Reagan's third high- ranking Mideast envoy after Robert McFarlane and Philip Habib. McFarlane is now Reagan's national security adviser. Rumsfeld, who was secretary of defense . in the Ford administration, said when he was appointed by Reagan last Nov. 3 that he expected to serve "as Mideast envoy for "a rather exten- ded period of time." From AP and UPI BEIRUT, Lebanon - Druze shells shattered win- dows yesterday in President Amin Gemayel's palace as the Lebanese leader anxious to stop the fighting, reportedly sought a summit meeting with Syrian President Hafez Assad. Druze militiamen lobbed several shells into the grounds of Gemayel's palace in the eastern suburb of 'Baabda, shattering window panes. but causing no casualties among the occupants who included 'Gemayel, witnesses said. 3 THE SYRIAN-backed rebels also unleashed ar- tillery fire on the mountain town of Souk al Gharb, the ",radio run by the right-wing Phalange party said. The town, guarding the approach to Gemayel's palace, is -the army's last stronghold outside Beirut.

Other reports said the meeting could take place today. Government sources in Lebanon had said the summit might begin this weekend. "If all goes well, the summit meeting will be held over the weekend, but not before," one source said. BUT OPPOSITION leader ex-President Suleiman Franjieh told reporters after meeting a Syrian envoy from Assad that no summit would take place before Gemayel "chose the Arab, not the American line," and abrogated 'the U.S.-negotiated May 17 Israeli- Lebanese agreement. Gemayel has decided to abrogate the May 17 ac- cord but is, seeking a face-saving way to do it, the in- dependent An Nahar newspaper and the rightist Christian paper Al Amal said. Syria and its Lebanese allies demand abrogation of the U.S. sponsored agreement, which the Syrians view as de facto Lebanese recognition of Israel. THE LEBANESE-Israeli agreement calls for Israel and Syria to withdraw their forces from Lebanon simultaneously. The agreement has never gone into effect because Syria has refused to pull its" troops out of Lebanon. The diplomatic efforts by Lebanese and Syrian leaders were accompanied by more battles between Christian and Moslem militiamen in Beirut and in hilltops overlooking the capital. Scores of artillery shells and rockets struck residential neighborhoods of the city. Beirut radio stations reported gun battles in neigh- borhoods along the "green line." ndale with N.H. victory I 111: RE L RE., !

"IT'S THE personal contact which was very helpful in Iowa," said LSA Sophomore Mark Graham, one of 21 University students who worked for Hart in Iowa before last week's caucuses there. Graham said the students' and others' door-to-door canvassing and speeches during the caucuses en- couraged a number of Iowans to sup- port Hart. He said their greatest impact was during the actual caucuses when students could speak to undecided voters and win their support. Mark Blumenthal, an LSA senior who is organizing Hart's Michigan cam- paign, said similar efforts led to. last night's victory. "WE WERE very well organized in New Hampshire," he said, adding that Hart supporters have a lot of work to do in Michigan. "We're up against an army," Blumenthal said, citing the numerous endorsements Mondale has received from state politicans and labor leaders. "It is still very much uphill for us. Nothing is going to fall into our laps in Michigan." Hart campaigners have been enlisting help this week in the fishbowl, and Graham said he expects many more students to join the campaign af- ter the victory in New Hampshire.
