Fighting broke out minutes after the Revolutionary Council of A1 Fatah — the mainline guerrilla group of the Palestine Liberation Organization — con demned the PLO mutiny after an all-night meeting in Damas cus, Syria. Lebanese police said machine gun battles broke out between the rebels and Arafat loyalists in the Syrian-controlled half of the Bekaa Valley early Tuesday and quickly escalated into pitched artillery and mortar duels. “Mediation efforts to end the mutiny within Fatah have reached a dead end and heavy fighting is now under way in the Bekaa valley,” said A1 Fatah’s de puty commander Khalil al Wazir, better known by his nom ’d guerre Abu Jihad. Abu Jihad said the Revolutionary Council has given the Al Fatah Central Committee “total freedom to take the appropriate measures to settle the matter.” He did not elaborate.

Syrian troops and tanks deployed around the towns, but did not intervene to stop the fighting, Lebanese police said. State-run Beirut radio said Arafat’s opponents had gained the upper hand, forcing their rivals away from the main Damascus highway. Majd al Anjar and Sweiri are three miles from the Syrian frontier just off the main high way, while Taanayel and Taal baya are nine miles farther in land. During the weekend, Ara fat loyalists clashed with dissi dent factions in the Bekaa Valley in pitched battles that left 13 guerrillas dead. On Sunday, one of Arafat’s top aides, Abu Ziad, was wounded when fighting broke out at a PLO training base out of Damascus — the first time the PLO mutiny had spread to Syria. Dissidents accuse Arafat of growing “soft” on Israeli and have called for stepped up milit ary activity against Israeli troops in Lebanon. In a bid to quash to the revolt, Arafat called a meeting of his top guerrilla commanders and Tuesday won the endorsement of Al Fatah’s 73-member Re- - -» - volutionary Council. The Revolutionary Council said it “condemned the anti- Arafat movement, and decided to set up smaller committees to look into possible reforms with in Al Fatah.” On Monday, seven Syrian sol diers were killed in an ambush on a military convoy near Tripo- li, sparking a new round of street fighting Monday in Leba non’s second largest city be tween rival Moslem militiamen. Syrian troops sealed off Tri poli, a port city 42 miles north of Beirut, after the Monday ambush by closing roads leading to the city. The violence in Tripoli, pit ting pro-Syrian Alawite Moslem militiamen against anti-Syrian Sunni Moslem gunmen, broke out Monday night and gained intensity into early Tuesday. 7$ DOUGLAS JEWELRY 15% STUDENT DISCOUNT WITH CURREHT A&M ID (REPAIRS HOT inCLUDED) Keepsak Registered Diamond Rir e Rings PULSAR, SEIKO, BULOVA St CROTOn WATCHES AGGIE JEWELRY USE YOUR STUDENT DISCOUNT TO PURCHASE A DIAMOND FOR YOUR CLASS RING (AND LET US SET IT FOR YOU) 212 h.
