Israeli jets and
artillery batter
PLO in Beirut

Divebombing Israeli jets teamed
with heavy artillery to batter Beirut's
Palestinian guerrilla core yesterday,
deto ating an ammunition dump and
setting off fires across the besieged
western sector of the Lebanese capital.
It was the fifth straight day that
Israeli air power hammered away at
the guerrillas in a new campaign of
military pressure aimed at forcing the
Palestine Liberation Organization into
an agreement to abandon Lebanon, its
power base for 12 years.
THE PLO said 54 people were killed
or wounded in the afternoon air
assaults, but it was unable to give a
breakdown of deaths and injuries.
Rescue teams were searching for vic-
tims believed buried in wrecked
buildings, the PLO said.
Before yesterday's attacks, the PLO
said 179 people, mostly civilians, had
been killed or wounded in the air
assaults. The air raids that began last
Thursday ended a 27-day Israeli
moratorium on aerial bombardment of
west Beirut.
Meanwhile, special U.S. envoy Philip
Habib met for 50 minutes with Jordan's
King Hussein in London, presumably to
discuss arrangements for evacuating
the estimated 8,000 guerrillas from
west Beirut and heading off an all-out
ground assault by Israel's 35,000 troops.
The Israelis invaded Lebanon on June 6
to crush the PLO, and later laid seige to
west Beirut.
HUSSEIN, in London on a private
visit, called the session with Habib
"very useful" but refused to say wher-
ther Jordan would accept any of the

Hussein .
... Habib meeting 'useful'
guerrillas.
Habib then returned to the Middle
East, where he is to meet in Israel
tomorrow with Prime Minister
Menachem Begin.
Ireaeli officials, who accuse the PLO
of stalling for time, expressed skep-
ticism about whether Habib would suc-
ceed in his mission to get the
Palestinian fighters out of Beirut.
IN LEBANON, members of a U.S.
congression delegation apepared
divided over a one-sentence document
signed by Yasser Arafat that some bon-
tend meets the conditions for U.S.
recognition of the Palestine Liberation
Organization.

In Brief

United Press International reports
Banks cut prime lending rates
NEW YORK- Two major banks cut their prime lending rates from 16
percent to 15.5 percent yesterday, matching the lowest level since 1980 for
the key interest rate indicator. Some economists predicted other banks
would follow.
Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. of New York, ranked fourth among U.S.
commercial banks by deposits, initiated the cut of half a percentage point
and was followed by No. 6 Chemical Bank of New York.
Some smaller banks, including Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. in Winston-
Salem, N.C., ranked 32nd by deposits, also matched the reduction.
The lower prime came a week after the banking industry, again led by
Manufacturers Hanover, pared the rate to 16 percent from 16.5 percent.
Iran claims further victories
Iran said yesterday it fully controls 60 square miles of Iraqi territory and
warned that its Air Force-could "raze Baghdad and all other Iraqi towns to
the ground."
The Tehran government also said its recent battles against Iraqi defen-
ders east of the Basra oil port had left its enemy incapable of countering
Iranian ground attacks.
In a day of relative inactivity on the battlefront, Iran stepped up a war of
words against Iraq. There was no immediate response from Baghdad to
Iran's latest battlefield claims.
Iranian ground forces commander, Col. Sayyad Shirazi, told a Tehran
radio interviewer Iran's troops killed at least 5,000 Iraqis and destroyed 650
Iraqi tanks since the July 13 invasion code-named "Operation Ramadan."
A Baghdad military communique earlier said Iranian shelling killed six
civilians and wounded 22 others in Basra Sunday night. It said Iraq
retaliated with an attack on Iranian positions east of the port city that has
been at the center of the recent fighting in the 22-month Gulf war.
Balanced budget amendment
edges closer to House vote
WASHINGTON- Supporters of a constitutional amendment to balance
the federal budget are close to gathering enough signatures on a petition
which would send the proposal directly to the House floor.
Faced with the opposition of Democratic House leaders, including Speaker
Thomas O'Neill the amendment's backers are trying to bypass the
traditional legislative committees which would normally vote on the
measure.
Rep. Peter Rodino (D-N.J.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
has asked House members not to sign the petition since he wants to hold
hearings on the amedment.
But supporters say the measure, supported by President Reagan, has such
strong political momentum now, they would rather not wait.
The amendment would require Congress to match tax revenues with
federal spending programs. A three-fifths vote of 'the House and Senate
would allow an exception f or a specific federal program.
Floods kill 300 in Japan
TOKYO - Japan's most devastating floods in 25 years have killed more
than 300 people, most of them in Nagasaki, police said Monday.
Casualties and damage were reported in 21 of Japan's 47 provinces as the
heavy monsoon rains blanketed Japan's main islands. More heavy down-
pours were predicted.
In nagasaki, police confirmed the deaths of 227 people and said 94 are
missing and presumed dead. They said another three people are still unac-
counted for in other areas hit by the floods.
Some 52,000 people throughout the nation were left homeless by the heavy
rains and mudslides, police said.
. The flood was the worst to hit Japan since July 1957, when 992 persons were
killed in a flash flood in the city of Isahaya near Nagasaki.
Crim to run for MSU board
LANSING- House Speaker Bobby Crim, seeking to avert an intra-party
squabble will run for the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, not
the University of Michigan Board of Regents, a television station reported
yesterday.
Walter Sorg, a spokesman for the retiring speaker, said he could neither
confirm nor deny the story broadcast by'WILX-TV in Jackson. Crim could
not be reached for comment.
The Davison Democrat announced last week he would seek his party's
nomination for the board at U-M, a school he attended on a G-I Bill loan.
The 50-year-old former teacher, who will leave the House in December af-
ter 12 years of service, cited his "unabated interest" in government and
education.
Crim's announcement set up a furor within his party, however, because
two incumbent Democratic regents are up for re-election this year. Neither
Sarah Goddard Power of Ann Arbor nor Thomas Roach of Grosse Pointe
Park apparently was willing to step aside for Crim.

Substanee abuse troubles
30% of doetors and nurses

helping others, they often neglect their
own problems, she added.
"ALTHOUGH devotion to work is
socially rewarded, it can sometimes be
personally destructive. The
professional leaves too little time for
himself and tends to deny or repress his
feelings," Rogers explained.
Negligence in work, excessive'
lateness or absenteeism, loss of
memory and obvious changes in
physical appearance and hygiene are
some symptoms of alcohol or drug
dependence.
The individual also experiences a
psychological dependence on the drug
or alcohol, in addition to isolating
themselves from friends and family.
IN ADDITION to isolating them-
selves, the individual also experiences
a psychological dependence on the sub-
stance, according to Karen Smith,
R.N., and a clinical nursing specialist.
"The individual feels a loss of control
of his or her actions. Everything seems
to take second place to drinking,"
Smith said.
"The user attributes magical powers
to the substance and believes the drug
has more power than what the in-
dividual, himself, can do," Smith ex-
plained. "The individual continues to

use the substance despite the con-
sequences that recurringly interfere
with his total quality of life," she said.
HEALTH CARE professionals with
substance abuse problems, however,
have a very high rate of successful
recoveries. In the past five years, new
programs have developed to help the
alcoholic stop his or her destructive
drinking pattern.
One of these programs, "Interven-
tion," is used by Dr. Richard Logan, a
psychiatrist at Mercywood Hopsital in
Ann Arbor.
The intervention process involves a
counselor who gathers significant
members in the individual's life-
family, friends and co-workers-who
all agree the individual's behavior is
disrupting all aspects of his or her life,
Logan explained.
THESE PEOPLE then confront the
individual with specific examples of his
or her unacceptable behavior that has
resulted from drinking, Logan said.
The individual is then given a plane
ticket and must agree to go to a
rehabilitation center for treatment.
This method has been especially ef-
fective in helping the individual see his
behavior is not only hurting himself,
but people he cares about, Logan said.
