THE BATTALION
THURSDAY, APR. 15, 1976
Presidency debated
Lebanon death toll rises
Cash low for candidates
Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Casualties
in Lebanon’s civil war today climbed
toward the level before the cease-
file, with 75 persons reported killed
and 120 wounded, as politicians joc
keyed for the presidency and de
bated Syrian military intervention.
Presidential hopeful Raymond
Ejdde claimed that the toll in the
year-long war is now 20,000 dead
and 60,000 wounded, about 25 per
cent more than previous estimates.
Today was the day on which other
Christian leaders said they expected
Franjieh to sign a constitutional
amendment adopted by Parliament
last week to terminate his term five
months early. But there was no in
dication the president would sign,
and the amendment cannot become
law for a month without his signa
ture.
Washington that “neither we nor Is
rael believe that Syrian action in
Lebanon is a threat to the security of
Israel. But he said Syrian troop
movements may he getting “close to
the borderline” of Israeli tolerance.
The heaviest fighting during the
night was in Beirut and the suburban
hills where Moslem leftists and
right-wing Christian forces con
tinued to battle with mortars and ar
tillery for control of key points. Sev
eral large fires were burning in
downtown Beirut.
Right-wing Christian leaders were
meeting at Franjieh’s temporary
headquarters 12 miles north of Be
irut. They were believed trying to
agree on a successor who woidd up
hold their conservative views and
some of the rights of the Christian
minority but who would also be ac
ceptable to the Moslem side.
Kissinger said Syria has intro
duced some military forces into bor
der areas but “has not made a major
military movement into Lebanon.”
He said published reports that there
are 13,000 Syrian troops in Lebanon
are “grossly exaggerated.”
Authoritative sources in Lebanon
estimate that Syria has moved at
least 15,000 armed men into Leba-
6,000 army regulars, most of
Another fierce battle was reported
around Zagharta, hometown of
Christian President Suleiman Fran
jieh. The town is at the northern tip
of a Christian enclave of 800 square
miles running north along the
Mediterranean coast from the Chris
tian half of Beirut.
The Lebanese left, a loose group
ing of Communists, Socialists and
Arab nationalists led by Kamal
Jumblatt and backed by left-wing
Palestinian guerrillas, continued at
tacking Syrian military intervention
in Lebanon.

them in frontier areas controlling the
three main highways from Syria into
Lebanon; 7,000 Palestinian guerril
las of the Saiqa organization which
Syria finances and controls, and sev
eral thousand Palestinians of the
Palestine Liberation Army based in
Syria.
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin said this week that Israeli
forces would move into southern
Lebanon only if the Syrian troops
posed a “direct threat to Israel’s se
curity. Israeli analysts interpreted
this to mean the Syrians would have
to cross the Litani river, a natural
boundary about 15 miles north of the
Israeli-Lebanese frontier.
Syrian President Hafez Assad is
trying to pressure the leftist Moslem
Lebanese into accepting a political
agreement that would preserve a
sizable role in the government and
the economy for the Christian
minority who dominated Lebanon
until the war. The leftist leader
Jumblatt wants majority — meaning
Moslem — rule.

WASHINGTON — Most of the
presidential candidates, cut off from
federal matching funds for nearly a
month, are in various stages of finan
cial desperation and some of them
are just plain broke.
The flow of federal matching
funds, which had pumped some $12
million into the various campaigns
since the first of the year, ended
abruptly on March 22 when the
Federal Election Commission lost
its power to pay out taxpayers’
money because of a Supreme Court
ruling.
It was up to Congress to meet Su-
preme Court objections to the
makeup of the FEC and put the
commission back in business. But
the bill to do that is just now being
put in final form, and it faces a possi
ble veto by one of the candidates —
President Ford.
Ford’s campaign is one of the few
that remains financially healthy, de
spite the lack of federal matching
funds, and in fact is reporting figures
that show it is the most solvent cam
paign.
In the latest report on campaign
funds. Ford’s election committee
told the FEC last week it has a cash
balance of $777,232.
On the Democratic side, only
former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter
and Sen. Henry M. Jackson have re
ported to the FEC that they are fi
nancially sound. Carter told the
FEC he had $273,232 on April 1.
Jackson, who started the year as one
of the richest candidates with more
than $1 million, said in his latest re
port he has $154,015.
The financial situation faced by
Alabama Gov. George Wallace is
somewhat fuzzy. Wallace has been

known to have been cutting back,
closing headquarters and dismissing
paid campaign workers, but his aides
maintain his campaign is solvent.
Among the other Democratic
candidates, five have ceased active
campaigning, some of them because
of the cutoff of federal funds.
Ford’s Republican opponent,
former California Gov. Ronald Re
agan, is staging an intensive cam
paign in Texas hut has been borrow
ing money from banks to finance his
campaign. Reagan’s last report to the
FEC showed he was close to $1 mil
lion in the red.
There were these campaign de
velopments yesterday:
“Inaction by Congress on a simple
bill to reconstitute the commission
has thrown a monkey wrench into
the whole process,” said Rep. Morris
K. Udall, a Democratic candidate
whose Pennsylvania primary cam
paign is plagued by debts that now
total some $215,000.
Udall said Wednesday his cam
paign has “financial laryngitis,” al
though he says the FEC now owes
his campaign $300,000.
V The office of Ford’s press secre
tary, Ron Nessen, said he plans to
attend a rehearsal in New York today
of the NBC “Saturday Night” show,
on which he is to be a guest, although
it means crossing the union picket
line.
V Udall called on the other Demo
cratic candidates to debate him be
fore the Pennsylvania primary April
27, saying voters “deserve to know
who the serious candidates are, what
our records have been and what we
propose to do about the serious prob
lems America faces. Instead, what
they may get is not just a secret bal
lot, but a secret campaign, if the
availability of money is left to make
the difference.”
Udall later flew to Louisville, Ky.,
scene of violence last fall over school
busing orders. He maintained his
support of busing if that’s what it
takes to integrate classrooms, but he
said his desegregation proposals
would keep busing to a minimum.
“Candidates who tell yoikM
going to stop busing are justlM
in the wind, because theym:
it,” he said. “The federalcoJ o-
ruled that the Constitutiom^p
busing in some situations.THm
way to change it is to aniiB
Constitution. ”

Students with apartment leases
ending May 15 should give their

they plan to move out of the apart

With the 30-day move-out notice
students should also include their
forwarding address, Robison said.
The apartment manager will need
the address to return any security
deposit on the apartment.
Under most local apartment leases
the tenant must give his manager
written notice 30 days in advance of
the day the tenant moves out.
