About 3,000 people, most of m Korean-Ainericans, clashed b New York police in front of Soviet Union’s mission to the lited Nations. The protest had started as a iceful prayer rally. But the wd grew unruly after it mar- :d to the mission and was met a phalanx of about 100 police cers. Officers began swinging night- kswhen some protesters tried itorm the poliee line.

"We are very angry the Soviets just don’t care,” he said. "We re afraid the Americans are very forgetful. They forget about Afghanistan and Poland. They even forget about the Korean war. In Los Angeles, angry' long shoremen refused to unload a car go of vodka and lumber from a Soviet freighter docked under guard in Los Angeles Harbor. But a tentative agreement to unload the vessel was reached Wednes day with members of the Interna- tinai Longshoremen’s and Ware housemen’s Union, and unloading was expected to begin early Thursday. At the University of Texas the arcade has reprogrammed three video games to suit the mood of the students. "Robotron tells players they can save the human race from the “Communist mutant from outer space, Andropov;’’ “Stargate” players score points by hitting “aggressive Soviet ships. At least six states, Ohio, West Virginia, Montana, New Hamp shire, Iowa and Pennsylvania, have imposed a boycott of Russian vodka in state liquor stores. President Reagan, too, has come under fire for the relatively mild U.S. response to the down ing of the jet. 61 Americans, in cluding Rep. Larry McDonald, D- Ga., were aboard. John T. Dolan, chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, spoke at a memorial rally in Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House, as the crowd chanted “Wake up, Reagan!” “One of the principle reasons I and millions of Americans sup ported President Reagan was the inability of President Carter to react to Soviet agression,” Dolan said. fart/ng for election Iged San Diegok! md Atlantaoutsliij »co 12-9. > 3, PADRES 2- pinch hitter Da nibled home Cei om first base in tk to spark the Ait iRS 5, REDS 2- », Mike Marshall jiner in thefourtli i scattered four I United Press International innings for hisj VASHINGTON — Guided by mph to lead theDl|principle that taxes and politics mix, the administration’s tot man on tax policy predicts igress will not enact any major changes until after next year’s tetions. Taxes unchanged U.S. Navy fights for first time in Beirut mountains United Press International BEIRUT — The U.S. Navy joined the fighting in Lebanon for the first time Thursday, fir ing on artillery emplacements in the mountains east of Beirut in swift reprisal for the shelling of Marine positions at the air port. The USS Bowen, a frigate assigned to protect the Marine force in Lebanon, slammed four 5-inch shells into attacking artil lery in the mountains behind the American base. U.S. offi cials said the Marine contingent of the multinational peacekeep ing force retaliated with a bar rage of heavy artillery. “We hit what we aim at,” said Maj. Robert Jordan Jordan, a Marine spokesman. No Marine casualties were reported. Deeper in the Shouf Moun tains, official Beirut radio said Druze artillery was blasting the town of Deir el Kamar, which was jammed with at least 25,000 Christian refugees. The report said the Druze militiamen had overrun posi tions on the hills surrounding the town, which is garrisoned by the pro-government Christ ian Phalange militia, and were hitting it with "fierce mortar shelling. In Washington, White House Larry Speakes confirmed the offshore shelling and said the Navy ships in the Mediterra nean “are there to protect the Marines. ” Asked if this constituted an escalation of the hostilities in Lebanon, Speakes said: “That’s for you to draw” your own con clusions. He said the decision to return the fire was made by the local commander. Three artillery shells fired from positions in the mountains controlled by the Druze reli gious faction slammed into the Marine compound at the air port, shattering a pledge by Druze Militia leader Walid Jumblatt to halt attacks on the 4,800-man multipeacekeeping force. Jordan said the Americans opened fire “in response to artillery fired Wednesday and Thursday from the mountains to the east. Two U.S. Marines and a French lieutenant colonel and his driver have been killed by shelling this week. The International Red Cross estimated that 25,000 to 40,000 Christian refugees from the fighting elsewhere in the moun tains had taken shelter in the Deir el Kamar, but a Red Cross relief column was not able to get through. tion.

He predicted the Senate Fi nance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee will not meet their Sept. 23 deadline to ful fill the budget resolution for fiscal 1984 that calls for $12 billion in additional tax revenues during the fiscal year and $73 billion through 1986. Chapoton said Reagan feels it is the wrong medicine to try to raise taxes during an economic recov ery, but insisted the administration is concerned about huge deficits. He said Reagan believes the de ficits will diminish as the economy continues to grow. “In the long term, budget cuts may not be enough, he added, He said the administration still supports the standby energy tax and income tax surcharge it prop osed earlier this year to take effect in 1986 only if the economy fails to improve and Congress agrees to cut federal spending. He said, however, it is the one issue that inspired bipartisan agreement — “Nobody wants it.” f He also predicted Congress will ittoban the future sale and lease- ick of property owned by tax- lemptentities, such as colleges or jdty governments that sell their lildings to investors seeking tax lelters, and lease them back for a fee.

Ironically, Ireland already out laws abortion, but pro-life groups want to enshrine the ban in the Irish Constitution to frustrate fu ture liberalization attempts by lawmakers or the courts. Results of the balloting by some 2.4 million voters will not be known until midday Thursday at the earliest. By opposing the referendum, the government of Prime Minister Garret Fitzgerald has clashed di rectly with the Catholic Church. In a nation that is 94 percent Catholic, the message from the pulpit has been unmistakeable. One priest even placed a baby doll by his altar, hung with the sign “Please don’t murder me.” People against the abortion ban reported getting phone calls from children crying, “You’re trying to kill me. Polls suggested Wednesday’s balloting may have gone as high as 70 percent in favor of the amend ment, hut a high rate of voters may have stayed home out of sheer! confusion over whether Ireland ! needs a “constitutional” abortion ban when it already bans abortion — a crime punishable by life in prison.
