LARGE SHIPMENTS OF TANKS, MISSILES R EPOR TED
Soviets rearm Syrian forces

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Soviet
Union has started a major replace-
ment of Syrian weapons and equipment
destroyed or captured by the Israelis in
battles in Lebanon, U.S. intelligence
sources said yesterday.
Those sources, who asked to remain
anonymous, said six Soviet merchant
ships have unloaded tanks, surface-to-
air missiles and other military cargo in
Syrian ports over the past two weeks.
BEFORE THE Israeli invasion of
Lebanon in early June, the sources
said, the Soviets had delivered about
20,000 tons of military hardware, am-
munition and equipment to Syria since'
the beginning of 1981.
Israeli Maj. Gen. Aharn Yariv told
reporters here recently that Israeli for-
ces destroyed 350 tanks and 18 surface-
io-air missile batteries in battles with

Israeli forces invaded Lebanon June
6 to crush the guerrillas and maintained
their blockade against west Beirut for
the fifth day, preventing trucks
carrying food and fuel from crossing in-
to the enclave where an estimated 8,000
guerrillas and 500,000 civilians are
trapped.
In Tel Aviv, Israel's deputy chief of
staff, Maj. Gen. Moshe Levy, told army
radio Israeli force were preparing for a
"long-term" stay in Lebanon, through
September and possibly through the
winter. Levy said plans call for three-
month extensions of army service for
some troops, an extension of reserve

to Director William Joy.
Both Wanzeck and Palka, however,
insist the dust is not harmful.
"When they get through analyzing it
(the dust), they'll find out that it's burnt
bread dough and flour," Wanzeck said,
explaining that the vent where the dust
is collected lies above the Union's
baking ovens.
Palka, who in his work often removes
carcinogens from industrial exhaust
systems, also said the dust is harmless.
Palka said he and his workers always
wear respirators when working in ducts
like those in the Union, adding that
several other ducts were cleaned
earlier in the day without com-
plications.

have inflicted heavy losses on
the Syrian air force.
The biggest engagements were in and
over Lebanon's Bekas Valley, adjoining
Syria, in the first two weeks of the war.
SYRIA LONG has relied on the Soviet
Union for most of its weapons and other
military gear.The Soviets re-eauinnwd
Syrian ground and air forces after
they suffered huge losses to the Israelis
in the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars.
The latest Israeli defeats of Syrian
ground and air units in Lebanon have
raised questions about how Soviet arms
stack up against American equipment.
A large portion of Israel's arms was
supplied by the United States.
However, senior American generals
have cautioned against jumping to any
conclusions which they say could be
