From Associated Press reports
Shiites want
Marines out
GENEVA — Lebanese leaders
appeared to be headed for a
showdown over the troop
withdrawal pact with Israel
Wednesday, and a Shiite Moslem
leader demanded that U.S.
Marines be moved from their gar
rison in the southern suburbs of
Beirut.
Nabih Berri, leader of the Shiite
Amal militia and a delegate to the
national reconciliation con
ference, said the Marines should
be moved away from Beirut air
port because of a "climate of
racism" following the Oct. 23
bombing there.
Some U.S. officials believe the
attacks were carried out by pro
Iranian Shiite Moslems.
"I ask the Marines to move from
that area to say West Beirut or to
another place and in their places
the Italians or English should be
deployed," Berri said. If the
Marines refused, he added, they
should leave Lebanon.
Berri and the other leaders of
Lebanon's warring factions failed
to reach agreement on the troop
withdrawal pact during a day of
often-heated talks marked by a
bomb scare, a walkout by one
delegate and a brief scene over
the searching of another.
Vote defeats
defense cut
WASHINGTON - The House re
jected an attempt Wednesday to
cut off money for American
peacekeeping troops in Lebanon,
a move that would have ordered
the Marine force home in tour
months and defied Pres. Ronald
Reagan's Middle East policy.
After an emotional, 90-minute
debate, members sided with a call
by Democratic Speaker Thomas
O'Neill |r., to support the
Republican administration and
defeat the measure, a proposed
amendment to a $247.3 billion
defense spending bill.
The vote marked the most direct
congressional challenge of
Reagan's decision to keep the
Marines in Lebanon even after a
terrorist bombing of their head
quarters in Beirut killed 238
servicemen.
The House voted in September
to let the Marines stay at their
posts in Beirut (or up to 18 more
months. The 1,600 troops were
deployed to the war-torn c ity in
September 1982 as part of a four
nation peacekeeping force.
But members shaken by the
Oct. 23 truck-bombing of Marine
headquarters say they fear the
troops are «x( upying indefensible
positions that invite further at
tacks and bloodshed.
The defense bill, about $14
billion below Reagan's request
but $14 billion more than its fiscal
1983 counterpart, contains funds
for virtually every major military
program the Pentagon requested,
including MX missiles and B-1B
bombers.
One exception was Reagan's re
quest for $124 million to build a
new generation of nerve-gas
weapons, which both the House
and Senate Appropriations com
mittees denied in their drafting
sessions.
Gay issues
divide clergy
ROSEBURG — Following a day
of fasting and prayer, clergymen
from 20 Protestant churches have
released a statement condemning
homosexuality as a sin that "is not
compatible with Christianity."
But the pastor of the church
where the local debate started
responded that he felt homosex
uality was a human condition and
not a sin.
The statement released Tuesday
came in the wake of the Roseburg
United Methodist Church's deci
sion in September to refuse a re
quest from the predominantly gay
Metropolitan Community Church
to hold worship services there.
About a dozen Roseburg-area
residents attend Metropolitan
Community Church services,
which are usually held in a private
home.
The clegymen who issued the
statement said they would be will
ing to counsel and pray with gay
people "who desire to be set free
from the sin of homosexuality.
"Homosexuaity is sin and,
therefore, is not compatible with
Christianity," the statement read.
"God completely destroyed two
cities Sodom and Gomorrah,
because of this very sin.
The Rev. Charles Snyder of the
Assembly of God Church said the
pastors decided on a joint state
ment after many local people re
quested their views on the issue.
Unable to reach a concensus in
earlier discussions, they called for
a day of fasting and prayer last
week to consider the issue.
"It is obvious that many of us
have sincere differences both in
understanding of human sexuality
and Biblical interpretation," said
the Rev. Ted Hulbert of the
Roseburg Methodist Churc h.
"I continue to find evidence
that sexual orientation is part of
our nature, not a choice, and
therefore not a sin. The Bible
speaks to how we use our sexuali
ty and not to the nature of sexual
orientation."
King holiday
made official
WASHINGTON — With Martin
Luther King's widow at his side,
Pres. Ronald Reagan signed
legislation Wednesday he once
opposed that honors the slain civil
rights leader with a national
holiday.
Reagan said King "stirred our
nation to the very depths of its
soul" in battling racial
discrimination.
Congressional leaders and
veterans of the civil rights move
ment, including Jesse Jackson, the
Rev. Ralph Abernathy, and Atlanta
Mayor Andrew Young, filled the
Rose Garden for the signing
ceremony.
The proceedings climaxed as
the crowd softly sang, "We Shall
Overcome" — the anthem of
King's nonviolent crusade against
segregation.
King's widow, Coretta Scott
King, told the crowd, "America is
a more democratic nation, a more
just nation, a more peaceful na
tion because Martin Luther King
became her preeminent non
violent commander."
While saying the nation had
made huge strides in civil rights,
Reagan declared that "traces of
bigotry still mar America."
He said King's holiday should
serve as a reminder to follow the
principles that King espoused:
"Thou shalt love thy God with all
thy heart, and thy shall love thy
neighbor as thyself."
The legislation makes the third
Monday in January a legal public
holiday, beginning in January,
1986.
This elephant
wasn't pink
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — fudges let
their imaginations run wild in the
first year of Rochester's communi
ty service sentencing program for
nonviolent offenders.
One man convicted of drunken
driving was ordered to clean the
elephant cages at a city zoo.
A shoplifter who was also a
singer had to do four concerts at
senior citizen homes.
A man who was growing mari
luana in his attic had to grow 50
house plants for senior citizens'
homes.
A snow plow operator, con
victed of several driving charges,
had to plow the parking lot of the
American Cancer Society.
However, the elephant cage
cleaner encountered a little trou
ble returning home. City Court
Judge William Bristol said Tuesday
at the program's first birthday
party.
"He rode the bus to work, but
they wouldn't let him on when he
got done. He had to walk home."
