From AaociMcd Frm reports
Marine killed;
total at seven
BEIRUT — One U.S. Marine was
killed and three were wounded
Sunday in seven hours of sniping
and rocket-propelled grenade at
tacks on Marine positions at
Beirut international airport,
spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan
said.
It was the third consecutive day
of attacks on the Marines and rais
ed the toll of Marine combat
deaths to six since the American
peacekeeping contingent arrived
here 13 months ago. A seventh
Marine perished when a mine he
was attempting to defuse
exploded.
Jordan said the Marines serving
with Alpha Company at the
southernmost end of Beirut's air
port first came under fire at about
4:20 p.m. (10:20 a.m. EDT) and that
firing from small arms and rocket
propelled grenades continued un
til after 11 p.m. (5 p.m. EDT).
Jordan said the Marines fired
back with anti-tank rockets and
smalt arms.
He said the dead Marine suf
fered a head wound, one injured
man had an "urgent" head injury
and another was in serious condi
tion with an arm wound. Two of
the injured Marines were flown to
the Iwo Jima, the main hospital
ship for the 1,600-man American
force, and the third was treated on
shore, said Jordan.
At one point, Jordan reported
that five Marines had been
wounded, but he later corrected
that to three.
None of the Marines was im
mediately identified. A total of 54
have been wounded in the past 13
months.
On Friday and Saturday, snipers
concentrated on the Marine posi
tions at the opposite end of the
airport. One Marine was killed
and another was wounded in both
legs Friday, but there were no
American casualties Saturday.
Shultz signs
pollution pact
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -
Secretary of State George Shultz
signed an agreement with Canada
limiting phosphorus pollution in
the Great Lakes and began two
days of talks on acid rain and
other topics Sunday.
The pact commits both coun
tries to reduce the amount of
phosphorus feeding into the
lakes, especially in runoff from
farmland and city streets.
Excess phosphorus encourages
algae growth, depriving fish and
plants of the oxygen they need to
survive.
At a signing ceremony less than
an hour after his plane landed,
Shultz said the accord was "a
demonstration of the determina
tion on the part of both countries
to work together to protect and
improve the North American
environment."
Another threat to the North
American environment — acid
rain — was expected to occupy
much of the talks between Shultz
and Canadian Foreign Minister
Allan MacEachen.
Canadian officials said they an
ticipated an account of the Reagan
administration's progress toward
a decision on a plan to fight acid
rain, the airborne pollution blam
ed for damaging lakes and forests
in Canada and the northeastern
United States.
Deployment talk
ends deadlocked
VIENNA, Austria — West Ger
man Foreign Minister Hans
Dietrich Genscher said Moscow is
unsure whether to give up
medium-range missile talks if the
West proceeds with new deploy
ment. Genscher ended consulta
tions Sunday with Soviet counter
part Andrei Gromyko.
Genscher said Gromyko told
him the Soviet Union will take
unspecified steps "on behalf of its
own security and that of its allies,"
if NATO begins stationing 572
U.S.-built Pershing 2 and cruise
missiles in Europe starting next
month. NATO says the new
missiles are to counter a Soviet
buildup of SS-20 missiles.
Genscher and Gromyko, com
menting separately, said their two
days of talks did nothing to
resolve the East-West deadlock on
limiting the missiles, the subject
of U.S.-Soviet negotiations in
Geneva.
Gromyko, stopped by reporters
and asked whether progress was
made, replied: "I doubt it."
The missile issue "is very com
plicated," he said, before walking
away. He did not elaborate.
"On the question of medium
range negotiations, there has
been no movement by either
side," Genscher told a news
conference.
"The Soviet Union is seriously
considering.. .whether or not in
case of deployment the negotia
tions will be continued or not," he
said. "I do not dare to make a
forecast on the result of such
considerations."
Boy, 6, dies
for lack of aid
CHICAGO — A little boy who
slipped into a coma soon after Il
linois state officials changed their
mind and agreed to pay for his
liver transplant has died without
having the operation.
Donje McNair, who had been in
a coma eight months, died Thurs
day at the age of 6.
“God loved him best,” Donje's
mother, Bobbie McGee, told her
two other children. "Donje just
couldn't fight no more."
The child had spent most of his
life in hospitals, suffering from a
congenital liver disease. When he
was 5, doctors at the University of
Minnesota said he was healthy
enough for a liver transplant.
But the problem was money.
Because Donje wasn't a Min
nesota resident, the hospital
wouldn't perform the procedure
without a $200,000 payment.
Public aid officials in Illinois
wouldn't help because the opera
tion is considered experimental
and not covered by Medicaid.
Finally, his mother made a
public plea for funds.
Governments
still growing
WASHINGTON — By at least
one important measure, govern
ment is growing in the United
States. Federal statistics show that
the country now comprises 82,341
governments, some of which exist
solely to administer sewage
systems.
Overall, that number has in
creased by 2,428 in the last five
years, the Census Bureau said
Sunday.
Nearly all of the increase occur
red in special districts, such as
those set up to provide sewer or
water service or to protect
wetlands. The study, "Govern
mental Organization," showed lit
tle change in the number of
general purpose governments
across the nation.
Overall, a few new cities and
villages have been formed, but
they have been balanced by the
elimination of a few townships,
the bureau said.
Forty-five states generally
followed the national trend, recor
ding increases in the number of
governments.
There were declines in the
number of local governments in
five states — Nebraska, New York,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii.
With 6,468, Illinois had the nost
local governments in the nation.
