The national news agency Tanjug Libyan asks U.S. ‘march’ Japan increases arms $s after urging by U.S. United Press International Japan is now engaged in a major military program in view of the steady buildup of Soviet forces in the area, Aviation Week & Space Tech nology said Monday. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secret ary Harold Brown, from Washington urged Japan to increase its defense spending and aid to Pakistan because of the Soviet invasion of Afgha nistan. The weekly said the U.S. Defense Department “is encouraging Japan’s military expansion and moderniza tion” and “has asked Japan to assume responsibility for helping the United States keep open vital sea lanes out to the vicinity of Guam. ” Clarence Robinson Jr., the maga zine’s senior military editor who went to Japan to study Japanese de fense capability, wrote in the first of a series of articles from Tokyo of a “sig nificant shift” in Japanese public atti tude on military matters. “The Japanese government Self Defense Force and U.S. military officers here all agree that changes in military attitudes are leading this is land nation toward a new role of leadership in East Asia,” he said. Brown said, “It will be useful if Japan gives aid to Pakistan.” Other U.S. government sources said Japan intends to more than dou ble its economic aid to Pakistan from $58.3 million to about $137.5 million in 1980, beginning in April. Prime Minister Mag Ayoshi Ohira expressed hope that the Afghan question will be solved through efforts by the United Nations, and Japan would cooperate, government officials said. 9 OUT OF 10 PUPPIES PREFER THE BATTALION issued a four-line bulletin saying, “Despite temporary improvement, the desired effect has not been achieved.” But the bulletin said Tito’s general condition is good and he is recover ing normally from the operation on the blood vessels of his left leg. There was no indication of what further treatment might be needed, nor were any details of the operation given. The only authoritative statement giving some details of Tito’s ailment was made before the operation by American cardio-vascular surgeon Michael DeBakey of Baylor Medical College in Houston. Rio mob kills 2 after chase DeBakey, after seeing Tito in Yugoslavia and consulting Tito’s doc tors, said in Houston last week that Tito suffered from “some circulatory blockage in his left leg.” United Press International RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A mob of 300 people chased two ban dits for nearly a mile Monday, caught them and kicked, beat and stoned them to death, police said. One account said a whole soccer team took part in the attack. Police said two men robbed a bus fare collector of $10 and fled, and were pursued by a growing crowd in the tough Rio suburg of Belfort Roxo shouting, “Stop thief! Kill!” also divided and eventually caught both. The crowd attacked the young, men with metal bars, sticks and rocks and then piled the two bodies in the street. The newspaper O Dia reported that even the “Pequena Familia F.C.” team playing soccer on a near by field abandoned its game and took up the chase. The robbers split up but the mob “It has got to be like this,” one resident told reporters. “There is no policing of the streets and people get mugged all the time. You all can write that any mugger who comes around here is going to die.” Police could not immediately identify the two dead mennt they make any arrests, pened here is a result of just| misery," inspector Egidio Satj said.

United Press International BEIRUT, Lebanon — Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy cal led on Americans residing in Libya to march on their embassy and turn it into a “people’s” office, the state-run Libyan News Agency said. The agency quoted Khadafy as telling at a news conference late Sun day, he would be “ready to receive the U.S. Charge d’ affaires once the embassy in Tripoli is turned into a people’s office.” The leader also denied any dispute between his country and the Pales tine Liberation Organization. He said the conflict was “one sided” and the PLO’s mainstream group, AI Fatah, was “responsible for it.” “It’s Fatah who should remove the causes of such a dispute,” Khadafy said. He stressed that his country was “the one which adopted Fatah, sup plied it with arms and money and provided it with offices and radio sta tion.” He insisted that Libya will continue to help the Palestinian re volution “on the path of the armed struggle.” The conflict with the PLO, as far as it is publicly known, erupted when some of the estimated 40,000 Palesti nians residing in Dihya set up what was called “popular revolutionary committees” in response to Kha- dafy’s proposal early in December on the International Day for Solidarity with the Palestinian People. In a speech marking the occasion, Khadafy urged the Palestinian guer rilla movement to attack Israel from “all fronts,” destroy the Suez Canal because “it was being used by Israel,” and to blow up the Arab oil fields and block the strategic Gulf of Hormux strait — the sole entrance to the Gulf waters. The PLO’s news media launched a barrage of attacks against the Libyan leader, escalating them even further by announcing he had failed to meet financial commitments to the PLO since 1974 and that all his financial and military contributions went to his allies in the Palestinian move ment — the radical guerrilla fac tions, not members of the PLO. «!

When Pioneer decided to build the SX-450, they wanted to see how much they could put in. There's continuous power output of 15 watts minimum RMS per chan nel at 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.5% total harmonic distortion. The FM section uses a phase-locked loop multiplex circuit —just like the most expen sive tuners — for great stereo separation. And there's a special integrated circuit to keep sta tions from interfering with each other. For operating convenience, the SX-450 has a dual-function tuning meter, tape monitor circuit five-input function selector and even a Vjriicrophone jack. 127 OO niOIXHEER when you want something better UNDER-DASH SUPERTUNER KP-SOO: Under-dash FM stereo Supertuner/cassette playback deck.
