United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Having decided to end a two-month
embargo prompted by Israeli air strikes against Iraq and
Lebanon, the Reagan administration intends to resume
shipments of warplanes to Israel “at the earliest possible
moment. ”
Secretary of State Alexander Haig announced President
Reagan’s decision to lift the embargo Monday after the
president met with his National Security Council in a Los
Angeles hotel suite.
The planes will be delivered without an official finding
on whether Israel violated terms of an agreement gov
erning its use of American weaponry, Haig said.
Reagan first suspended deliveries of F-16 fighter-
bombers to Israel after Israel used such planes in its June 7
raid on the Osriak nuclear reactor near Baghdad, Iraq.
The United States joined in a U.N. condemnation of the
attack, and the administration notified Congress there may
have been a “substantial violation” of U.S. law. Haig
announced a review to determine whether Israel had
violated its 1952 commitment to use U.S.-supplied
weapons for defensive purposes only.
The suspension was extended six weeks later when Israel
used American planes to attack Palestine Liberation Orga
nization strongholds in Beirut, killing more than 300 civi
lians.
In all, 14 F-16s and two F-15s were held up, and Haig
said deliveries will resume “at the earliest possible mo
ment.”
He said the decision came only after “an intensive re
view of the Israeli actions, ” including conversations with
Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Israeli Ambassador
Ephraim Evron.
Haig refused to say whether the United States had re
ceived any assurances on future Israeli actions, but said the
Begin government understands American law and he ex
pects Israel to abide by the conditions of the sale.
In Israel, Begin spokesman Uri Porath said there had
been no new assurances.
“Israel did not give the United States any new commit
ments beyond the 1952 arms sales agreement with Israel, ”
Porath said. “Further, Israel has never used U.S.-supplied
weaponry for other than defensive purposes.”
In Washington, Evron welcomed the news the “unhelp
ful and unjust” suspension had been lifted, and expressed
hope “the traditional close bonds of friendship between
Israel and the United States will deepen and get even
stronger. ”
But Clovis Maksoud, permanent U.N. observer of the
League of Arab States, condemned the action at a time
when Israel “has shown no sign it regrets its massacre of the
innocents, and has given no guarantee it will stop the
indiscriminate attacks on it neighbors.”
Haig defended the decision as “timely and appropriate”
in light of current conditions in the Middle East, including
the “very positive” cease-fire in Lebanon.
Nelson to continue
hospi taliza tion
United Press International
WAILUKU, Hawaii — Hospital officials said country singer Wil
lie Nelson will be hospitalized about four more days for treatment of
a collapsed lung.
Nelson, who was reported in good condition at Maui Memorial
Hospital, was swimming near the Kihei resort area Thursday after
noon when he suffered the lung collapse. He was brought to the
emergency room, admitted, and a chest tube was inserted.
Nelson has canceled nearly two months of engagements due to
illness.
He had tried to keep his hospitalization a secret and told hospital
administrator Jerry Walker Monday to tell all callers he wishes no
visitors and no flowers.
Hospital officials said Nelson was expected to remain confined
“three or four more days” depending on his doctor’s orders.

Stroll for peace
United Press International
BOSTON — Swapan Kuman
Chatterjee went out for a walk
seven years ago. Now, 56 coun
tries and 22 pairs of walking shoes
later, he’s still in the mood to
stroll.
“I want to meet all the people, ’’
he said. “I want to make peace.
Everybody wants peace.”
Chatterjee has been in the Un
ited States for more than a year,
paying for his travels by reading
palms and selling small paintings.
He said he even loved the peo
ple who tied him to a tree in a
village in the African nation of
Zaire and threatened to kill him.
He was saved, he said, when a
baby began crying and he ges
tured to a group of women stand
ing near the tree, letting them
know he wanted to hold the child.
Once in his arms, the baby
quieted down, and the village
women persuaded the men not to
kill him, Chatterjee said.
Slippery hazard
TUCSON, Ariz. — The annual
caterpillar invasion has reached
such epidemic proportions that
roadways are dangerously slip
pery from the squashed larva.
“In some areas, it’s so slippery
people are afraid to drive around
— there are squashed caterpillars
all over the road,” said the curator
of small animals at the Arizona
Sonora Desert Museum.
The extraordinary number of
caterpillars has created such a nui
sance, children in the Avra Valley
are removing them by the
buckets.
Robert L. Smith, University of
Arizona entomologist, said the
caterpillar migration might appear
startling to some, but is just “a
seasonal thing.”
“The worst thing they do is get
into people’s swimming pools,”
Smith said.
Falling for fun
HOUSTON — Just for the thrill of
it, two parachutists jumped from a
168-foot high bridge into the
Houston Ship Channel. They
were arrested and charged with
criminal trespass.
Phil Smith, 30, said Sunday he
hopes some day the club, BASE
— Building, Antennna, Span and
Earth — will have permission to
make the jumps.
The club has nine members
who jump from stationary struc
tures for thrills and to promote
themselves.
“Sooner or later we’d like to be
able to go and do these jumps with
someone’s permission. It’s a spe
cial thrill. It’s something you just
don’t get from the air; you don’t
get the same perspective,” Smith
said.
The men are part of a club who
were caught jumping from the 75-
story Texas Commerce Tower
June 28.
Metal thefts
PHILADELPHIA — The father-
and-son owners of a precious met
als store have been charged with
stealing nearly $1 million from
customers in what authorities
term “the largest fraud of this type
in the city’s history.”
Herman Gordon, 58, president
of the International Coin
Museum, and his son, Donald, 28,
the vice president, surrendered to
police Monday.
John Haggerty, a spokesman
for Philadelphia District Attorney
Edward Rendell, said 30 of the
Gordons’ customers complained
they paid for gold, silver and coins
and were told the items had to be
ordered but were never deli
vered.
Criminal complaints filed
against the Gordons involve a total
of $943,351.
