PLO, Syria
effect truce
TRIPOLI — Palestinian rebels
backed by Syria rained hundreds
of shells on PLO chairman Yasser
Arafat's last Middle East bastion
Wednesday, but an Arafat
spokesman said a truce was ar
ranged later in the day.
“We pray this is serious but we
are very skeptical" the truce will
hold, said the spokesman, who
asked not to be identified.
Wednesday's withering barrage
cornered Arafat in this northern
port city. His spokesman said
shelling diminished “significant
ly" after the truce agreement, but
Arafat strongholds in the Baddawi
refugee camp and Tripoli still
were being hit.
There was no immediate confir
mation of a cease-fire by the
rebels, but sources said earlier
that Arab nations had reached "an
agreement in principle" on a
truce.
The rebel barrage prevented the
Palestine Liberation Organization
leader from visiting loyalist
holdouts at the besieged Baddawi
refugee camp outside Tripoli.
Black smoke from raging fires
hung over the port city of 500,000.
But Arafat visited maimed sup
porters in hospitals, roving the
streets in a chauffered Jeep while
shells from rebels in the north and
east occasionally slammed into
neighborhoods near his office.
The PLO mutineers have chased
most of Arafat's estimated 8,000
loyalists into their last stronghold
in the Middle East — Tripoli, 50
miles north of Beirut. More than
1,000 people have been killed
since the fighting began Nov. 3,
according to Lebanese police.
The rebels claim Arafat has
betrayed the PLO's aim of
wresting a homeland from Israel.
Arafat claims the rebels have been
deceived by Syria, which he says
wants to dominate the PLO.
Committee
OK's Clark
WASHINGTON — The Senate
Energy and Natural Resources
Committee today approved the
nomination of William Clark as
Secretary of the Interior, clearing
the way for the full Senate to con
firm him to the Cabinet position.
The committee voted 1E>-3, with
three Democrats opposed, to
send the nomination to the
Senate.
Sen. James McClure, R-ldaho,
the committee chairman, said he
hoped the Senate could act this
week. But he said he had been
promised by Senate Majority
Leader Howard Baker, R-Tenn.,
that "we'll stay in session long
enough to get it done." The
Senate is scheduled to adjourn at
the end of next week.
Clark will succeed James Watt in
the secretary's post. Watt resign
ed after public outrage over his
description of the members of an
advisory commission as "a
black,.. a woman, two Jews and a
cripple."
The White House announced
today that Watt's resignation had
taken effect Tuesday.
Kesey nails
R-G with suit
EUGENE — Author Ken Kesey
has filed a $4 million suit against
the company that owns The
Register-Guard newspaper of
Eugene, alleging a headline was
false and defamatory.
Kesey's suit against The Guard
Publishing Co. takes issue with a
headline published in the April 20
edition of newspaper that said,
"Cocaine trial raises names: Rust,
Kesey, Safley."
The headline naming Kesey ap
peared atop a front-page story
about the Lane County Circuit
Court trial of Raymond Sander
Ainge, who was found guilty in
May of attempted murder and
four drug possession charges.
The story said the names of
Kesey, Lane County Commis
sioner Jerry Rust and Eugene real
estate broker Mike Safley were
raised by a Eugene police officer
in courtroom efforts to test the
credibility of a paid informant
who worked with police in the
Ainge cocaine investigation.
The lawsuit alleges Kesey
delivered to the newspaper's
publisher on May 2 a written de
mand for a correction or retrac
tion but on May 13 the newspaper
refused to correct or retract the
headline.
Register-Guard Managing Editor
Tony Baker said the newspaper's
lawyers were aware of Kesey's
lawsuit, filed Monday in circuit
court. Baker declined further
comment.
Two drop
Daikon cases
EUGENE — Two of the 17
women who sued Daikon Shield
maker A.H. Robins Co. have drop
ped their suits because they don't
want their cases to come to trial,
the attorney for the two women
says.
Attorney Michael Williams of
Eugene said the women chose to
withdraw their complaints on
Monday. Neither woman received
any compensation or damages
from Robins, he said.
Williams declined further com
ment on the withdrawals Tuesday
because of an order from Judge
Robert Belloni forbidding at
torneys to talk to reporters about
the suits while the cases are being
tried.
The 17 cases had been con

solidated for the trial in U.S.
District Court in Eugene, along
with a suit filed by the husband of
one of the women.
All of the plaintiffs are seeking
unspecified damages from the
drug company.
In opening statements Tuesday,
attorneys for Robins told the jury
that the intrauterine device was
not responsible for the injuries
claimed by the women. Attorney
Carol Hewitt of Portland told
jurors that some of the plaintiffs in
the case have not tried to become
pregnant.
Each of the plaintiffs, all past or
present Oregon residents, con
tends that her use of the Daikon
Shield IUD exposed her to pelvic
inflammatory disease that scarred
and damaged her reproductive
organs.
Have M-16;

BEND — Looking to get into a
new line of work? How about
becoming a mercenary?
Robert Baker just might be able
to help you. Baker runs his "Ex
ecutive Protection Agency" in a
garage in Bend, linking employers
in need of mercenaries,
bodyguards and adventurers with
prospective employees respon
ding to his ads in "Soldier of For
tune" magazine.
Dozens of people send letters
and resumes in response to the
ads. Baker uses a computer to
match qualified applicants with
available jobs.
"It's an ugly business, the real
mercenary stuff," the father of
two told the Bend Bulletin in a
copyright interview. "You're not
going to be saving the helpless
and fighting for the lost cause."
Baker, a Vietnam veteran,
laments that business is slow.
Most of his applicants are under
qualified, and many are "kooks,"
he said. Still, the responses he
gets surprise him.
"What I didn't expect were the
guys my age who know better,"
he said. "I didn't expect a whole
bunch of middle-aged, middle
class, college-educated vets sen
ding me resumes."
Baker's applicants tend to stress
their military skills, chiefly their
ability to use weapons, bazookas,
flame throwers and anything else
that kills, maims and stuns.
"They always get carried away
with their weapons qualifica
tions," he said.
"Most of them think somebody
is going to pay them $50,000 to go
kill peasants. A lot of them just
miss the point. The typical movie
profile of the gun-toting, grenade
throwing fighter for just causes is
nonsense."
Baker had combat intelligence
training in the Army and, after ser
ving in Vietnam and being
discharged in 1967, went on
reserve status with the Army
Special Forces.
