—World at a glance—v From Associated Press reports Christians shell Palestinians KHIAM, LeDanon — Christian militiamen in Marjayoun lob bed shells Sunday at Palestinian guerrillas poised outside the strategic town. But the Palestinians held their fire, saying they had orders to suspend their attack against the Israeli-backed Christ ians. The lull in the fighting, a few miles north of the Israeli border, apparently was designed to give Syria time to ask the Christians to end their cooperation with Israel and leave control of the guerillas to the Syrian-dominated Arab peace-keeping force. “We are waiting for orders from the political command,” said a guerilla commander, whose troops overran the village of Khiam Thursday. Moonies released from parents SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers for the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church won at least temporary freedom Mon day for two young members who kept the faith after 2Vz weeks in their parents’ custody. A three-judge panel of the California Court of Appeals put a temporary halt to an earlier ruling that had given the parents 30-day custody of John Hovard, 23, and Janice Kaplan, 24. “This means the young adults can go wherever they want to and do whatever they want,” church attorney Ralph Baker said after the proceedings. Feds move against cocaine ring NEW YORK — Federal authorities were expected to move here this week against a Latin-American cocaine smuggling ring they say used swimmers to carry packages ashore from ships docked in San Francisco. The alleged ring members will be charged here with delivering cocaine or cash to New York City. Federal officials have been reluctant to discuss details, but documents showed at least five Columbians faced conspiracy counts in the U.S. District Court here.

FILINS DEADLINE- APRIL 13 INFORMATION- SUITE 4- EMU Second ship held at sea US flag tops captured trawler BOSTON (AP) — The Coast Guard brought a Russian fishing trawler into Boston Harbor on Monday and controlled a second Russian vessel at sea as the U nited States warned that continued violation of its new 200-mile fish ing limit could hurt relations with the Soviet Union. The rusty, gray and white trawler Taras Shevchenko arrived under escort and flying the Ameri can flag at the Coast Guard base Monday morning. It was the first seizure under the law which took effect March 1, despite numerous reports of other Soviet violations. The U.S. attorney’s office took possession of the boat as soon as the armed Coast Guard cutter es corted it into the harbor. Lawyers from the U.S. attorney’s office immediately began checking the ship’s catch and records. Meanwhile, the Antanas Snechkus, a refrigerated trans port ship, was ordered to go to Boston after a Coast Guard in spection team said it found seven species of prohibited fish in the holds. Later in the day in Washington, Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher called in Soviet em bassy minister Vladillen Vasev to complain about recurring Russian violations of U.S. fishery regula tions within a 200-mile zone off the New England coast. The State Department said in a statement that Christopher ex pressed the United States’ “deep concem’over the violations and "urged that extraordinary meas ures be taken by the Soviets to ensure that the violations cease so that this situation will not con tribute to a worsening of our bilat eral relations.” It was the first link by the Carter administration of the alleged fish ing violations and the general state of relations between the U nited States and the Soviet Union. A U.S. official said Pres. Car ter would meet today with Soviet Ambassador Anotoly Dobrynin to discuss U.S.-Soviet relations. gloves scarves books HAIICUTTIH6 to satisfy jm $5.00 TOMORROW FAIRE 1410 Orchard St. Above Local Loan 686-2544 Lost & Found Sale ★★★ TODAY ★★★ APRIL 12 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Room 108, EMU f notebooks binders files coats sweaters ^ jackets jewelry etc The average Navy Pilot isn’t. No man who has mastered the flying skills it takes to fly and land on a ship at sea can be called an average pilot. And the sense of accomplishment and satis faction that he enjoys are also above average. Which is only right. For the man who would go places as a Naval Aviator must pass through the most challenging and demanding training program to be found anywhere. From Aviation Officer Candidate School through Flight Training to the day his golden Navy Wings are awarded, he is tested; driven; pushed and tested again. And for good reason. The Navy has learned that without the will to succeed, no man can be successful. If you’ve never flown before, but have the desire, you’re halfway there. Starting salaries range from $10,000 $12,000 annually, and will increase to over $16,000 in four years. Which brings us to you. Do you have what it takes to fly Navy?
