THE CHARRED REMAINS of a gasoline station in the Liberty City area of
Miami, Fla. draw the attention of area residents heading for work yesterday
morning, as Muhammed Ali stares down from a billboard. The station was
gutted late Tuesday night by rioters as Miami police were held at bay by
snipers.

with the PLO. That's why there's a
stalemate," he said.
According to Tanter, one realistic op-
tion open to the Palestinian people
would be Israel's removal of its
military control from occupied
territories, with minimal forces
remaining for security reasons.
TANTER CALLED Carter's efforts
to include Jordan in the Middle East
peace talks at this time a mistake. "Not
only is Jordan not interested in
becoming a participant," he said, "but
the addition of that country to the
negotiations would bog down the talks
even further."
The foreign policy adviser echoed
Reagan's disapproval of peacetime
draft registration. "The benefit (of
registration) is small in relation to the
cost," Tanter said. If Carter's move to
register young men for the draft begins
a highly-visible anti-war movement, he
added, the cost of such a program
would far outweigh the advantage
gained by being able to prepare troops
two weeks earlier.
"The Soviet Union is 'net going to be
frightened by registering1 gi-and 19-
year-olds," he said.
Tanter said the salaries for military
personnel should be increased
dramatically. "When you pay more
money for fast food workers than for
Navy personnel, something is fun-
damentally wrong," he said.
Tanter added the nation's military
budget all too often focuses on the pur-
chase of new hardware instead of in-
creased salaries. "Technology is a sexy
thing compared to personnel," he said.
