Union officials said they do not expect a quick settlement, and no negotiations were scheduled with the National Automobile Transpor- ters, which represents the 35 com- panies that employ the Teamsters drivers. A prolonged strike by the truckers who haul thousands of vehicles to showrooms each day could clog factory storage lots and cripple domestic auto produc- tion, industry officials said. But layoffs were not expected at the early stage of the strike because automakers currently are involved in the 1986 model year changeovers with many of the plants already shut down and auto workers on their summer vacations. PLO backers killed SIDON, Lebanon - Police yesterday found the bullet-riddled bodies of four men loyal to Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, raising fear of new factional warfare in the southern Lebanese port. Police said the bodies of the four men were found in an olive grove 500 yards from the Ain el Hilweh refugee camp on the outskirts of the port of Sidon, 24 miles south of Beirut. After the corpses were found, Palestinian guerrillas appeared in force on the outskirts of the Ain el Hilweh and Mieh Mieh refugee camps, where some 22,000 Palestinians live, Beirut radio said. Fighters set up checkpoints on approach roads.

Subcommittee backs Michigan wilderness WASHINGTON - A House In- terior subcommittee yesterday endorsed a bill to declare 92,000 acres in Michigan as wilderness areas after sponsor Dale Kildee amended it to answer objections it would infringe on property rights. The public lands subcommittee approved the bill on a voice vote with only Rep. Michael Strang, R- Colo., objecting. The bill now goes to the full committee. It would create 11 wilderness areas, 10 in the Upper Peninsula. The 3,000-acre Nordhouse Dunes area in the Manistee National Forest, the only site in the Lower Peninsula, was the major item of debate. Republicans said a wilder- ness designation could make it dif- ficult for Gerald Derks, the holder of mineral rights, to utilize those rights. Proposed gambling in Mich. faces attack LANSING - A religious-based group and Attorney General Frank Kelley yesterday blasted any at- tempt to introduce casino gam- bling into the state, and Kelley also launched into the Michigan lottery.
