rean passenger jet tried to send
message to Soviet leader Yuri
ilropov.
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.

Chong Hong, 40, president of
Korean Merchants Association in
Flushing, N.Y., said the demon
stration was not only against the
Soviets but also an attempt to
make sure Americans don’t forget
the missile attack on Korean Air
Lines flight 007 that left 269 peo
ple dead.
"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.

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.

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.

Ireland votes
about abortion
United Press International
DUBLIN, Ireland — Some 2.4
million Irish voters decide
Wednesday on an abortion ban
that has bitterly divided the staun
chly Catholic nation and
threatened the ruling Fine Gael
government.
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.
