The Moslems sent mortar rounds into the Christian-held port area and the nearby Christian district of Ashrafieyeh while Christian return fire landed near the American Embassy. The Moslems reported capturing ad vance positions, including the Fattal Build ing, a Christian stronghold in the port area. Reports from northern Lebanon said the Moslems there made another heavy shel ling attack on Zagharta, the hometown of Lebanon’s Christian president, Suleiman Franjieh. The cease-fire plans sponsored by Syrian President Hafez Assad call for the Palesti nians to act as Syria’s representatives on the enforcement patrols on an equal footing with the representatives of the warring Lebanese factions. Franjieh and other Christian leaders are protesting this use of the Palestinians, fear ing that they will favor the leftist Lebanese Moslems, who have had the help of the Palestinians’ irregular guerrilla forces in the war. Assad was not expected to change his plans to help the Christians. And since he is their only hope of retaining a significant share of power iri the future Lebanese political system, there appeared to be no thing they could do but complain. Assad demonstrated his limited support of the Christians early this month when their militiamen were poVverless to halt the advance of the forces of leftist Moslem leader Kamal Jumblatt. The Syrian presi dent forced Jumblatt to rein in his men because Assad wants a political system in which the Moslems and Christians share power equality. He fears that the Moslem socialist government Jumblatt wants to in stall would involve Syria in another war with Israel before it is ready to fight. Charles Malek, a Christian politician who has been little heard of during the civil war, emerged from obscurity to urge in a broadcast that the United States set up an international force to “salvage Lebanon.” President Eisenhower saved the Christians in 1958 by landing U.S. Marines in Leba non, but no U.S. military intervention is likely now.

Texas A&M campus. Robert Melcher, administrative officer for student services, said Spence would be blocked to motor vehicle traffic without restricting ac cess to the three parking lots on the street. He said a permanent bar ricade or planter will be placed in the street, probably between the entr ances of parking lot 18. All on-street parking along Spence between Ross and Lubbock will also be removed, Melcher said. The University Traffic Panel recom mended last month to remove that parking and block off Spence be tween the entrances of parking lots 13 and 34. That recommendation would have removed the 18-20 park ing spaces in lot 18. Melcher said Dr. John Koldus, vice-president for student services, had approved the recommendations with the one change allowing access to lot 18. The Traffic Panel had originally recommended closing Spence be cause of the heavy pedestrian traffic crossing between Ross and Lubbock Sts. Panel members said pedestrian-vehicle accidents were inevitable if the street wasn’t blocked off. Melcher said the street will be closed as soon as a barricade and signs can be installed. He said con struction on Spence had delayed putting the barricade in earlier. C7RW gets cost-of-living clarification CLEVELAND (AP) — The strik ing United Rubber Workers and the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. met for 90 minutes Wednesday then reces sed until Thursday morning with no substantial progress reported in con tract talks. John Zimmerman, director of labor relations for Firestone, said neither the company nor the union budged from earlier positions that led to the strike at midnight Tuesday by 60,000 URW workers. Zimmerman said the only sub stantial progress at Wednesday’s session was in the area of clarifying the cost-of-living adjustment. He said “a lot of major issues are still before us.” He said he agreed with union president Peter Bommarito that both sides are still far apart. Zimmerman said Firestone “is in a position to certainly withstand a strike of six weeks’ duration,” but that he was optimistic that a settle ment would be reached much sooner. ' ^ Band marches in Alamo City parade Friday The Texas Aggie Band unleashes its thunder once more in formal parade this year in San Antonio. The Friday “Battle of Flowers” parade is one of six events remaining for the 1975-76 Aggie Band. Drum Majors Michael Comley, Lacy Gilliam and Clifford Simmang line up the organization at 1:30 p.m. for the five-mile Alamo City parade. Maj. JoeT. Haney, director, said the band should complete the outing by 2:30 p.m. The San Antonio parade has been a regular performance for Aggie bandmen for many years. “Actually, we’ve plenty to do without it,” Haney said. “But the guys love to go.” It follows close on the heels of Muster. The band played for the tra ditional San Jacinto Day observance Monday. Most of the 300-member band, traveling by individual means, leave for San Antonio today. Aggie Band members who play in the Aggie Stage Band will come back immediately after the Friday parade. The popular 17-member group directed by Haney performs here Friday evening at the Sports Media Banquet for the Athletic De partment. The band falls into marching for mation again Saturday, for the Maroon-White spring football finale. Only two more appearances then will await the centennial year ver sion of the Aggie Band.

State panel passes insurance-rate hike Tit® sn-pe Tilings Hair Shaping Emporium For Men And Women 846-7614 331 University [Upstairs above Kesami 707 TEXAS 846-1148 “SOFT N’ EASY” in Nugget and Brick Associated Press AUSTIN, Tex. — Building insur ance rate increases, which will raise annual premiums on a $35,000 brick veneer house by $12 to $21, have been approved by the State Board of Insurance. Board Chairman Joe Christie said the relatively low 4 per cent average statewide increase points toward a possible leveling oft in rates that have risen rapidly over the past two years. The increase will add $24 million to Texans’ total premiums. Insurance men had asked for a 5.1 per cent increase at the board s Feb. 18 hearing. Board statisticians had recommended 5.4 per cent. “There is every indication that in flation will not be as much of a prob lem during the life of the policies written under the new rates and we felt there should be a downward ad justment of the proposed rates,” Christie said in a statement. “I think the adjustments point to a general consensus that as inflation levels off there will be more stability and a leveling off of insurance costs, ” Christie said. He said the rates will take effect in July or August. The board will de cide the effective date later . The increase will be the second in six months. A 6.9 per cent average statewide increase took effect Feb. 16 ‘ Rates for homeowners policies, which account for almost half of the premiums paid in Texas, will rise 5.3 per cent in the Seacoast Territory, 5.2 per cent in the Central Territory and 4.8 per cent in the North- Northwest Territory. Teague to arrive for campaigning Rep. Olin E. Teague, D-Tex., will be at the Ramada Inn at Texas Av enue and University Drive tomor row . Teague, who is being challenged by Ron Godbey of Fort Worth for the 6th Congressional District seat, will be campaigning for the May 1 pri mary. No time has been given for the congressman’s arrival. Charity walkers to turn in money, see free movies A March of Dimes collection party for Walkathon participants to turn in their pledge money is set for Satur day at Manor East Theaters with this year’s walkers having their choice of two free movies. Kathy Conrad of the local March of Dimes office said final tabulations indicate 1,550 persons participated in the 1976 Walkathon with pledges totaling more then $25,000. Any walkers unable to attend the Saturday party are asked to bring or send their collections to the March of Dimes office as soon as possible. The office is located next to the Triangle Bowling Lanes. The mailing address is P.O. Box 9866. Walkathon participants have their choice of two movies, “No Deposit, No Return for the younger chil dren, at 2 p.m., or “Echoes of Sum mer” for older participants, at 2:45 p.m. Rates in the first tier of counties in the Seacoast Territory are higher than in the second tier back from the Gulf, but the percentage of increase was the same. Fire rates are set on a statewide basis and showed a seven-tenths of 1 per cent increase for dwellings but a 7.4 per cent decline for all other classes. Extended coverage rates, for such things as windstorms, explosions and hail damage, will rise an average of 9.7 per cent in the Seacoast Terri tory, 9.9 per cent in the Central Ter ritory and 9.5 per cent in the North-Northwest Territory. Christie gave these examples of rate increases for one-year homeowner policies on $35,000 brick veneer homes: — Galveston, from $340 to $358. — Houston, $295 to $311. — Austin, $238 to $250. — Lubbock, $427 to $448.
