The Michigan Daily-Saturday, July 10, 1982-Page 3 LEADERS WAIT FOR U.N. PEACE FORCE PLO reverses evacuation policy From TheAssociatedPress - The Palestine ' Liberation Organization declared yesterday it will not consider any evacuation of its guerrillas from Beirut until a United Nations peace force arrives to disengage the PLO-Israeli combatants. That new twist came as U.S. and Lebanese negotiators discussed a plan to evacuate the guerrillas to Syria by bus after the embattled PLO dropped demands for a political and military presence in Lebanon. SYRIA INDICATED it would not ac- cept the guerrillas, however, and atop U.S. negotiator flew to the Syrian capital of Damascus to reopen negotiations. The new PLO stance marks a con- siderable softening of earlier public statements, in which PLO leaders said they would "fight to the death," rather than leave their Israeli-encircled stronghold in west Beirut. "If I leave 'U' pianist awarded diploma in Moscow contest From AP wire reports Judges in the prestigious inter- national Tchaikovsky competition an- nounced yesterday that none of the thir- teen piano finalists, including Jonathan Shames from the Uiversity of Michigan, merited the coveted first prize. Shames, 25, is a pianist studying un- der Theodore Lettvin at the Univer- sity's School of Music. He was among 13 piano finalists awarded diplomas. ALTHOUGH NO gold medals were granted, the judges awarded silver medals Thursday to pianists Peter Donahoe from England and Vladimir Ovhicnikov from the Soviet Union. "Sometimes a competition decides that none of the contestants mesure up to the standards of previous winners. That was the case this time," explained Fernando Laires, the only American on the 15-member piano jury. Members of the piano jury said Donahoe, 29, "played significantly bet- ter than the others in the final round," but was hurt by his original approach to a Lizst concerto in the semi-finals. A Soviet jury member said Ov- chinikov played more conventionally, but the 24-year-old graduate of Moscow's Tchaikovsky Conservatory was considered too inexperienced to win top honors. Making the finals in the-Tchaikovsky competition, held every 4 years, is con- sidered a major career milestone for a young musician. A total of 318 musicians from 44 coun- tries entered the competition. It began June 10and ended Thursday. Beirut, it would only be to go to Palestine," PLO leader Yasser Arafat told reporters last week. As the talks entered a critical phase, Israeli forces mounted a furious land- sea bombardment of the PLO enclave in west Beirut that appeared to be one of the heaviest since the Israeli in- vasion of Lebanon on June 6. THE NEGOTIATIONS are being conducted in Beirut through U.S. presidential envoy Philip Habib in an effort to avert a threatened all-out assault by Israeli forces on besieged west Beirut. Hani el Hassan, political adviser to Arafat, accused Habib of reneging on an agreement dealing with the arrival timing of an international force of U.S. Marines and French paratroopers to oversee a disengagement of the Israelis and guerrillas. He gave no details of the purported agreement, but said, "We are not ready to discuss any details on the evacuation until the U.N. force arrives." In Tel Aviv, however, Deputy Prime Minister David Levy sounded an op- timistic note. He told Israeli Television, "The information we have in our hands shows that there is a good chance that the diplomatic efforts have borne fruit and there will be an agreement." ISRAELI gunboats, tanks and field artillery unleashed the massive shelling of Arafat's headquarters com- plex in west Beirut's Fakhani district and adjacent residential areas at dusk, lighting the night sky with flashes of explosions. PLO guerrillas fired volleys of Soviet- made rockets on Israeli positions in Beirut's southern and eastern outskirts and several missiles hit the presidential palace in suburban Baabda, wounding three guards, according to police. President Elias Sarkis was not in Baabda, 5 miles east of Beirut, when See PLO, Page 4 Carry a big stick Dol ht yELLB L Sampson, guard dog at a service station on Ashley Rd., speaks softly and still scares away prowlers with his ferocious glare. Page testifies on sex with reps. WASHINGTON (AP)- A former congressional page told House ethics committee investigators yesterday that he had homosexual affairs with three members of the House and arranged a similar liaison between a senator and a male prostitute, the youth's attorney said. But the credibility of the former page, Leroy Williams, 18, remained at issue. The youngster, who earlier tur- ned the names over to the FBI, acknowledged that he had flunked an FBI lie detector test on the charges. CAPITOL HILL sources said only one of the names on Williams' list also was on the list given them by law enfor- cement officers who have heard related allegations from other pages. At least one other page, Jeff Opp, is known to have told law enforcement of- ficers of sex and drug parties involving pages and congressmen. But Opp says he did not participate in the parties. Sources said other pages also have talked with law officers but did not give an overall number. THERE IS no firm estimate as to how many congressmen have had allegations lodged against them and whether all-or any-are being taken seriously. One source said there were indications a "couple of the other pages who have talked" with the FBI might have a vendetta against certain mem- bers. House sources say their list, provided by law officers, includes three Democrats and three Republicans- and that some of those allegations in- volve drug use, not homosexual sex withpages. Senate sources say no senators are implicated as far as they know. An FBI spokesman indicated earlier that agen- cy's list had only two or three members of Congress on it. And now Williams says he personally had sex with three House members and set up a senator with a male prostitute. Williams' attorney, Bob Scott, told The Associated Press that all three alleged liaisons between congressmen and Williams occurred between Sep- tember and November of 1981. All three affairs occurred in the individual of- fices of the congressmen, he said, and all occurred after the House had recessed for the night. Williams left Capitol Hill in January of 1982. ETHICS COMMITTEE sources did not deny that four names were given to the investigators.
