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-

NABLUS, Occupied Jordan —
Arab resistance to the Israeli occupa
tion of West Jordan stiffened today as
Palestinian nationalists and radicals
scored a sweeping victory in Arab
municipal elections throughout the
occupied territory.
“The Israelis are shocked — they
didn’t expect such results,” said
Mayor Karim Khalaf of Ramallah,
who campaigned successfully for
reelection as an avowed supporter of
the Palestine Liberation Organiza
tion.
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.
It was a sharp contrast to the 1972
election, when older candidates ex-

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.
The record hijacking began last
