Claiming that 6,000 Syrian troops and 7,000 Syrian-controlled Palestinians are operating in Lebanon, he appealed to the other Arab powers to check the Syrians. The Syrian intervention in Leba non has the tacit support of the Un ited States. On Tuesday it got similar approval from the Israeli govern-/ ment, which threatened earlier to invade southern Lebanon if Syrian troops entered the Lebanese fight ing. Associated Press WASHINGTON — A series of U.S. and Soviet naval moves and countermoves in the eastern Mediterranean has resulted in a buildup of warships off Lebanon. The Pentagon acknowledges that 10 ships of the U.S. 6th Fleet, in cluding the aircraft carrier Saratoga, are in those waters. U.S. officials re fused to discuss Soviet ship move ments. But sources report the Rus sians have sent four surface war ships, several submarines, an intelligence-gathering vessel and a number of auxiliary ships into the same area about 400 miles from Lebanon. i - The United States has attempted to picture as a normal operation its concentration of naval power within a day’s steaming time of the Lebanese coast. However, the Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda has linked the U.S. naval presence with the crisis in Lebanon. On April 8, the newspaper warned against any U.S. military intervention there. The ar ticle was signed “Observer,” which usually means a high-ranking Krem lin authority. The buildup began in late March with the arrival off Lebanon of a seven-ship U.S. naval task group headed by the helicopter carrier Guadalcanal. The group included several amphibious ships carrying a Marine battalion of about 1,700 men. Pentagon sources said at the time that the ships were in a holding pat- Billac tern in case they were neediHvas evacuate more than 1,400 AmenBe h from Lebanon, racked byacii iarters between Moslems and Chris!

The semiofficial Israeli state radio admitted the voting in 22 towns and villages Monday was a protest against the occupation and that it showed support for the PLO. Khalaf said the Arabs living under Israeli occupation could now “put up a united front against Jewish settle ments in the West Bank,” which Is rael captured from Jordan in the 1967 war. There had been sporadic anti- Israeli riots for the past two months in the occupation zone, but no vio lence was reported Monday. In stead, an air of festival prevailed as 62,966 Palestinian Arabs voted for town council members, a turnout of 72.3 per cent of those eligible. The voters included 22,009 women voting for the first time. There was no immediate com ment from the Israeli military gov ernment in the West Bank. But the outcome clearly indicated increasing resistance to Israel s nine-year con trol over West Jordan and its 670,000 Arab residents.

Raphael Igoa. The company had previously said 10 persons were held. The end of the longest known aerial hijacking came in its seventh day. Gastone Nardoni, a PAL official who flew to Benghazi to help end the hijack, said the DCS would leave for Rome with the freed employes aboard. Libyan authorities, initially opposed to granting asylum to the hijackers, had refused to let them disembark since the plane landed at Benghazi shortly before noon Tues day. Officials had rejected the gun men’s demand to talk with Libyan President Moammar Khadafy and had insisted they take off and fly out of Libya.
