BEIRUT, Lebanon - Special U.S.
envoy ,Philip Habib returned to
Lebanon yesterday, reportedly bearing
a compromise solution- to the Syrian-
Israeli missile crisis, 'and Israel's
Prime Minister Menachem Begin war-
ned,-"We don't have much time."
Habib met for 21/ hours with
President Elias Sarkis of Lebanon,
where Syria has deployed anti-aircraft
missile batteries that Israel is deman-
ding be withdrawn.
THE U.S. ENVOY emerged grim-
faced from the suburban presidential
palace and refused to talk to reporters.
Sarkis, a Christian, had a lengthy
discussion with Syrian President Hafez
Assad by telephone yesterday, a
Lebanese government statement said.
Sarkis was said to have pledged
solidarity with Syria in its confron-
tation with the Israelis.
Shortly after Habib left Israel earlier
in the day, Begin told reporters he
hoped the U.S. mediation effort would
succeed.
"We want a solution, a peaceful
solution. But much more time we don't
have because the Syrians all the time
send more missiles," Begin said. -
IRAQ JUMPED into the dispute,
saying it would back Syria in a military
confrontation with Israel despite recent
bad feelings between Baghdad and
Damascus.
The new crisis that threatens to
plunge Israel and Syria into war cen-
ters on Syria's deployment of Soviet-
made anti-aircraft missiles in Lebanon.
Syrian forces moved the weapons in af-
ter Israeli fighter planes shot down two
Syrian helicopters.
Two missiles wer fired at Israeli jets
over Lebanon on Tuesday, neither of
which hit th mark. Syria said an

Israeli reconnaissance plane had been
downed, but Israel denied that.
HABIB SHUTTLED to Beirut after
two days of talks in Damascus and
three in Jerusalem. After his meetings
in Lebanon, Habib is expected to move
on to Damascus.
Israeli reports said Habib, a veteran
diplomatic troubleshooter, was
proposing a compromise whereby the
weapons would be removed in ex-
change for Israeli agreement to limit
its flights over Lebanon. The proposal
also was said to includea stand-down of
Christian and Syrian troops in eastern
Lebanon.
Begin denied Israel was being asked
to stop its flights.
As Habib arrived in Beirut, a booby-
trapped car exploded near the offices of
a leftist political party in mostly
Moslem West Beirut, killing five
pedestrians and wounding 40, police
reported.
IN SPITE OF the new violence in the
embattled Lebanese capital, Beirut's
airport was reopened yesterday. It had
been shut for 22 days because of the
machine gun, artillery and rocket fire
Syrian soldiers and Christian
militiamen have been exchanging since
April 1.
Begin urged Syria to go along with
the U.S. diplomatic efforts and said that
if Habib returns to Israel Friday with
word of Syrian agreement, "I will be
able to say that we now have a peaceful
solution to the problem."
Despite Begin's change in tone from
earlier hawkish remarks, there was no
public sign of compromise on the part
of Syria.
Secretary of State =Alexander Haig
also told Republican members of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee that
there was "still hope" Habib's mission
would be successful.

Today
Dog days
When Patrolman Anthony Vitacco of Pottstown, Pa. went to find out who
drove his police car into a parked truck; he found the occupant of the car
"sitting behind the wheel smiling with his tongue rolling out." But Vitacco
says no arrests are planned in connection with Monday's accident. The
driver was Vitacco's police dog, Starr. Vitacco said it all began when he
stopped a truck driver for going through a red light and left the patrol car
idling while he wrote out the ticket. Then he noticed the offender's truck
shaking. "I walked back and say my police car up against the back of the
truck," Vitacco said. "Starr was sitting behind the wheel." Vitacco said he
thinks the dog managed to slip the car's gears from park into drive. Starr, a
5-year-old career dog, likes to ride with his paws on the dashboard and has
learned to use his nose to open the glass window separating the front and
back seats of the patrol car. Neither the police car nor the truck sustained
significant damage. Q
Moving right along
The University of Central Florida wanted Indiana Prof. Ralph Llelellyn
badly enough to offer to pay his moving expenses. But when they made to of-
fer, they didn't realize the move would include 20 bicycles, six picnic tables,
nine desks, lumber, three rabbit'pens, a bale of hay and a snow blade.
Florida officials said Monday the moving company billed the state a total of
$15,788.98 for hauling 57,560 pounds of household goods last September from
Brazil, Ind., to Ovido, Fla. State documents showed the university agreed to
pay Llewellyn's expenses as part of luring him to his $47,500-a-year job as
dean of arts and sciences from Indiana State University. But the pre-move
estimate from United Van Lines had been only $9,500. "Our discussion with
the Wrrier and review of the shipment inventory indicated Dr. Llewllyn
made little effort to minimize the costs of this move," the state wrote in a let-
ter to university President Trevor Colbourn. F
