THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, APR. 21, 1976
Lebanese fighting continues
Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s
fueding politicians argued today
over Christian r President Suleiman
Franjieh’s departure from office and
Palestinian participation in cease
fire enforcement while the fighting
continued at war level.
Police reported 179 persons killed
and 302 wounded yesterday and to
day. There was-, heavy fighting dur
ing the night in the Christian-held
port area and -in Beirut’s eastern
suburbs and adjacent mountain
towns.
Leftist Moslem leader Kamal
Jumblatt threatened to establish a
Moslem-ruled, Socialist state in
which the Christians would be re
duced to a powerless minority unless
Franjieh delivered his signature on a
constitutional amendment authoriz
ing early election of his replacement.

moderate Moslem leader, an
nounced last Saturday that Franjieh
had finally signed the amendment,
but parliament cannot meet to elect
his successor until he delivers it to
the speaker of the legislature, Kamel
Assaad.
Jumblatt said more delay by Fran
jieh would allow “the national and
progressive forces to announce a na
tional rule and change the political,
economic and social regime.”
Jumblatt’s military forces were on
their way to establishing such a re
gime in early April, but Syrian Pres
ident Hafez Assad forced him to halt
the advance.
Franjieh, the symbol to the
Moslems of the Christians’ un
willingness to relinquish their domi
nant political and economic position
in Lebanon, sent a special envoy to
Damascus. His mission was to get
Assad to remove the Palestinian
guerrillas from the machinery Syria
is trying to set up to enforce the war’s
35-th cease-fire, which was sup
posed to take effect this week.
Franjieh’s chief allies, former
President Camille Chamoun and
Phalange party leader Pierre
Gemayel, who control the two
largest Christian militians fighting
the Moslems, charged that the
planned Palestinian participation
was an “infringement of Lebanon’s
freedom.”
Palestinian leaders Zohair
Mohsen and Abu Ayad sought to
reassure the Christians, saying they
will not interfere in election of a new
president or the changing of the con
stitution.
There was speculation that the
Christian leaders wanted the Pales
tinians replaced by Syrian army
troops, believing they would be less
of a threat to the Christian cause than
the Palestinians.
Since the Lebanese Moslems and
Christians have demonstrated they
will not adhere to a cease-fire with
out a third party to restrain them,
Assad is depending on guerrillas of
Yassir Arafat’s Palestine Liberation
Army and of the Saiqa Palestinian
organization, which Syria finances
and controls, to stop the fighting and
enforce a truce.
The truce supervisory committee
is made up of two Syrian officers
along with Lebanese Moslem and
Christian representatives and Pales
tinian representatives. Their chief
task is to set up joint patrols of
Lebanese and Palestinian soldiers.
Britain s Princess Anne

and was with her when she regained
consciousness.
Ambulance attendants rushed
onto the track and covered her with
blankets until an ambulance arrived
to take her to the hospital at nearby
Poole.
The queen was celebrating her
50th birthday at Windsor Castle.

“QUALITY FIRST”
Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli troops
clamped a curfew on the Arab town
of Tulkarm for the second day in a
row today as another protest flared
against Israel’s occupation of Jor
dan’s West Bank.
Mayor Hilmi Hannun predicted
the protests would continue as long
as Israel keeps its troops on the West
Bank and builds Jewish settlements
on occupied Arab land.
The curfew was ordered after Arab
students scuffled with soldiers and
ordered merchants to close the iron
shutters of their shops for a business
strike.
Most of the West Bank was quiet
after a day of scattered anti-Israeli
riots.
“There are many soldiers but very
few people in the streets, ” said a doc
tor in Nablus, a center of recent vio
lence. “The people are afraid to go
out.
“Yesterday the soldiers welded
shut the doors of some striking shops
and painted them with red crosses,”
Dr. Jamal Hayat, a member of the
Nablus town council, said in a tele
phone interview. “In the last three
days I have treated 12 people injured
in clashes with the Israelis.”
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
visited Jewish settlers in the oc
cupied territory Tuesiday and prom
ised that they would be there a long
time, despite Arab protests.
“We have not established any set
tlement in order to abandon it later, ”
Rabin said Tuesday as Israeli troops
wounded two more Arab rioters 15
miles to the west.
“The government which has es
tablished these settlements intends
to sanction them and wants them to
continue to exist for a long time,”
Rabin declared during a tour of some
of the 19 Jewish paramilitary farm
communities established in the Jor
dan Valley sinqe Israel occupied the
territory during the 1967 war.
Israeli governments for some
years have talked of returning most
of the West Bank to Jordan but of
retaining a dqfense line along the
Jordan River.i. Rabin restated this
idea, telling the settlers:
“I see the Jordan River line as Is
rael’s security border and the estab
lishment of settlements along this
line as the defense line for the state
of Israel.
Officials accompanying Rabin said
the government might establish five
new settlements in the area in the
next year.
While Rabin was touring, Israeli
troops opened fire on rock-throwing
Palestinians in Nablus, the West
Bank’s biggest town, and wounded
two of them. Israeli troops killed one
Palestinan and wounded three
others during a riot in Nablus on
Monday.
The military occupation govern
ment put the town of Tulkarm under
an all-day curfew after rioters un
furled the flag ofthe outlawed Pales
tine Liberation Organization and
threw up roadblocks of tires which
they set on fire. There were minor
riots in Bethlehem, Jenin and East
Jerusalem.
Anti-Israeli protests in the West
Bank area began two months ago,
sparked by establishment of a tem
porary Jewish settlement near Nab
lus and an Israeli court decision —
later reversed — that Jews could
,pray in the vicinity of Moslem
shrines in East Jerusalem.
The riots subsided before local
elections last week in which most of
the pro-Hussein moderates were re
placed by PLO supporters and other
militants. But the Arabs were in
flamed again by a two-day march
through the West Bank Sunday and
Monday by some 40,000 right-wing
Jews demanding that Israel annex
the territory.
Six Arabs have been killed in the
two months of rioting.
