Cease-fire
breaks down
BEIRUT — Christian and Druse
militiamen fought an artillery duel
southeast of Beirut Tuesday and
the Lebanese army exchanged fire
with Moslem gunmen in the
capital despite a cease-fire in the
civil war.
An Italian member of the inter
national force was wounded and
the army claimed rival militias
were taking advantage of the
truce to rearm.
State-run Beirut radio said
Druse gunners pounded the
Christian-held village of Baasir, 20
miles southeast of Beirut, on Tues
day night. The Christians returned
fire.
Pres, calms
Congress
WASHINGTON — Members of
Congress received President
Reagan's written assurance Tues
day that he would seek their ap
proval before deciding to keep
1,600 U.S. Marines in Lebanon
longer than 18 months.
Reagan's letter was designed to
allay the fears of congressional
leaders concerned over whether
the administration would honor a
compromise measure implemen
ting the War Powers Act. The
president also promised to seek
congressional approval of any
substantial expansion in the
Marines' role.
Secretary of State George P.
Shultz aroused those fears by
refusing to tell a congressional
committee what would be done
with the troops after the 18
months.
While trying to soothe Congress
on Lebanon, Reagan said its
failure to approve $8.5 billion
more for the International
Monetary Fund would produce
"an economic nightmare that
could plague generations to
come."
Speaking to the opening
meeting of the IMF and the World
Bank, Reagan asked critics to
abandon "harsh rhetoric and
unreasonable demands" and
adopt the measure to help resolve
w
the world debt crisis. Opponents
of the IMF measure contend it is
intended to bail out banks that
made bad loans to developing
countries.
Airline may
be grounded
MIAMI — Eastern Airlines will be
forced to either close down or file
for protection under federal
bankruptcy laws if its entire work
force does not accept 15 percent
wage cuts, Chairman Frank Bor
man said Monday.
A union official responded that
"threats" by the airline would not
solve its current labor problems.
In a videotaped message
distributed Monday to the com
pany's 37,500 employees, Borman
said the Miami-based carrier's dim
financial picture required drastic
and immediate action.
"He told them we have three
choices," said Richard McCraw,
Eastern's senior vice prsident for
corporate communications. "One
is to shut the airline down, one is
to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition and try to operate like
Continental Airlines, and the only
really viable option is to approve a
15 percent wage cut."
On Saturday, financially troubl
ed Continental Airlines announc
ed the airline had filed for
reorganization under protection
of federal bankruptcy regulatons
and temporarily suspended
domestic flights after posting
losses of $471.9 million since
january 1979.
However, Continental Airlines
resumed some of its flights at dis
count rates Tuesday three days
after going to bankruptcy court.
Proposition
defines ban
SALEM — A proposed ballot
measure to reinstate capital
punishment in Oregon must
make it clear that the death penal
ty would be exempt from the state
constitution's ban on cruel and
unusual punishment, the Oregon
Supreme Court said today.
The court's decision came as it
wrote titles for two ballot
measures that would ask voters to
approve execution by lethal injec
tion for aggravated murder.
One of the measures would
revise state statutes to legalize the
death penalty while the other is a
proposed constitutional amend
ment that would allow capital
punishment in Oregon.
Supporters of the measures
turned in petitions earlier this
year in hopes of putting the two
proposals on the November 1984
ballot.
State nixes
import vodka
MILWAUKIE - The state Liquor
Control Commission voted today
to ban further purchases of Rus
sian vodka for sale in state liquor
stores.
The vote was 3-1, a commission
spokeswoman said.
Gov. Vic Atiyeh requested the
ban after the Soviets shot down a
Korean airliner, killing all 269 peo
ple on board.
Oregon liquor stores are ap
parently not being asked to pull
bottles of Russian vodka already
on the shelves, but it will not be
re-stocked.
Stolichnaya is the only Russian
vodka on the market in Oregon. It
represented 1.4 percent of the
total vodka sales in Oregon during
the past year, the commission
said.
