From AP and UPI
JERUSALEM - Israel called the
Reagan administration's suspension of
aircraft deliveries "unjust" yesterday
and the debate over Israeli use of U.S.-
built planes to knock out an Iraqi
nuclear reactor threatened to strain
relations between the long-time allies.
"We very much regret the decision of
the U.S. adminiatration to auapend,
delivery of aircraft to Israel," a
Foreign Ministry statement said. "We
consider this unjust."
PRIME MINISTER Menachem
Begin, speaking to reporters in Tel
Aviv, said he was sure the aircraft
eventually would be delivered.
He then said the target of the bomber
raid on Iraq had not been the above-
ground reactor, which was demolished,
but another facility the Iraqis had built
130 feet underground to use in making
bombs - a facility whish he alleged
they used to "fool" inspectors of the In-
ternational Atomic Energy Agency.
In an election rally, Begin lashed out
at U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger over the jet delivery and
claimed that the secretary had deman-
ded a cutoff of economic and military
assistance to Israel.
"BY WHAT morality did you act, Mr.
American Secretary of Defense?"
asked Begin. "The Iraqis were
preparing atomic bombs to drop on the
children of Israel!" shouted Begin, his
comments frequently drowned out by
cheers.
In Washington, Weinberger denied
the charge. "I'm sorry Mr. Begin is

proceeding on erroneous assumptions,"
Weinberger said. "I have made no such
recommendations."
In Baghdad, Arab League foreign
ministers meeting to discuss their reac-
tion to the raid called on the United
States and all other nations to sever
relations with Israel and cut off all
economic and military aid.
THERE WAS no immediate confir-
mation of the report from the league,
but Secretary-General Chadli Kleibi
told reporters a ministerial delegation
was named to go to New York, where
the U.N. Security Council meets today
to debate Arab requests for action
against Israel.
In Washington, Reagan invited the
ambassadors of Israel and five Arab
nations to the White House for hastily
arranged meetings to discuss the raid,
Philip Habib's mission in Lebanon and
Mideast peace in general.
THE REAGAN administration is
trying to tack a delicate course between
its commitment to Israel and the
damage U.S. officials fear the raid has
done to its peace initiative Lebanon and
its effort to convince Arab states that
their biggest security threat is the
Soviet Union, not Israel.
Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy, in
a speech broadcast from Tripoli, called
for a joint Arab retaliatory action "to
attack and destroy Israel's atomic
reactor . . . The Israelis made it
legitimate for us to destroy it." -

United Press International reports
Unions merger hope fading
LANSING-Despite a recent reaffiliation vote, the merger of AFL-CIO
and United Auto Workers political activities in Michigan is not imminent and
prospects for a joint gubernatorial endorsement this spring have faded.
Frank Garrison, a key UAW lobbyist in Lansing, said action on a guber-
natorial endorsement likely will be delayed at least until early fall because
the union wants a better look at how the candidates are performing.
"That process of mergerat the state level in Michigan is going to take a
long time," Garrison said.
A spokesman for the AFL-CIO said that union's move may not come until
early next year.
U.S.S.R. stations spy ship off
U.S. coast for Trident test
WASHINGTON-The Russians have stationed a spy ship off the East
Coast to study the first huge U.S. Trident missile-firing submarine when it
begins sea trials next week, intelligence sources said yesterday.
The Trident class, the biggest U.S. submarines ever built, displace 18,700
tons submerged and will carry 24 long-range nuclear missiles with multiple
warheada in their launch tubes.
Meanwhile, it was learned that the first of a new class of giant Russian
missle submarines, called Typhoon, started its sea trials early this week in
the far north. U.S. intelligence sources decline to discuss methods used to
monitor such Soviet developments.
The Soviet Typhoon-class is even bigger than the Trident-class. It is
described by Navy intelligence as displacing 25,000 tons underwater. Each
Typhoon sub, it is expected, will be able to launch at least 20 advanced
missiles with powerful multiple nuclear warheads.
Effort to oust Polish
communist leader fails
WARSAW, Poland-Communist Party leader Stanislaw Kania survived
an effort to oust him yesterday at a stormy Central Committee meeting and
said the party had "to regain as quickly as possible credibility in the eyes of
the Soviet Union."
"A new plan of action must come into being, realistic deadlines must be
set, decisions must be made and people appointed responsible for implemen-
ting them," Kania told a Central Committee meeting Wednesday night after
surviving an attempt to force his resignation.
Repeated concessions to Solidarity, the first union free of party control in
the Soviet bloc, were among charges hurled at Kania during the stormy, two-
day Central Committee meeting, which was prompted by a letter from the
Soviet Central Committee to its Polish counterpart urging a crackdown.
The- two-day Central Committee plenary session ended with a vote to
retain the entire 11-member Politburo following a stormy debate that laid
bare as never before deep personal and political rivalries within the party.
Official vows Reagan will
not misuse secret fund
WASHINGTON-A White House official confirms that Ronald Reagan has
access to a secret military fund, reportedly used for years to finance
presidential perquisites, but he vows that the chief executive won't misuse
it.
"My assurance is that there will be no abuse of the fund and that it will
remain secret," Edward Hickey Jr., director of the White House military of-
fice, said ina recent interview.
In a book entitled, "Breaking Cover," Bill Gulley, former director of the
military office, said the multimillion-dollar fund was established in 1957 to
build and maintain secret sites for the president to take cover during a
military attack. It is controlled by the military office.
But Gulley said several presidents have used the fund to hide the use of
taxpayer money to build such things as swimming pools and movie theaters.
But Hickey contended that the fund will be used only fpr its official purpose
in the Reagan administration.
Postage due goes to pot
ANGOLA, La.-Prisons don't generally interfere with inmates' mail when
it comes from the state attorney general.
But the bulky brown envelope addressed to Billy Taylor at the Louisiana
State Penitentiary had 99 cents postage due, so it was sent back to the return
address-Attorney General William Guste's office.
There it was opened, and out came enough marijuana and cigarette
papers to make 25 joints, authorities said.
Federal courts prohibit the censorship of official mail, and prison
authorities said the envelope probably would have gone through as planned
if the correct postage had been paid.
"If she had spent another dollar, we would not have known," said Fred
Gwin, who investigated the incident for the attorney general's office.
