Israelis raze buildings
in 8-hour Lebanon raid
are
be rv
Associated Press
SIDON, Lebanon — Israeli sol
diers rolled into a southern Lebanon
village Thursday, pushed French
U.N. peacekeeping troops aside and
bulldozed four buildings they
claimed were guerrilla weapons
storehouses. United Nations officials
reported.
Sources in the area, who spoke on
the condition that they not be iden-
tifed, said the Israelis knocked down
three houses and a Shiite Moslem
civic center and arrested more than
60 villagers during an eight-hour oc
cupation of Bourj Rahal.
Military sources in Tel Aviv said
one man was killed in the raid, and
reporters said two villagers were
wounded.
Timur Goksel, spokesman for the
U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon, said
French peacekeeping troops tried to
prevent destruction of the houses
and the Husseiniyeh cultural center
in the village northwest of Tyre, a
port city in Israeli-occupied terri
tory.
“There was a scuffle and strong
arguments between the French ana
Israelis,” Goksel said. “The French
were trying to prevent them from
demolisning the nouses.”
Goksel said the Israelis claimed
the buildings contained weapons
and explosives. Israeli forces fre
quently raze buildings they suspect
are being used for arms storage.
The U.N. force, known as UNI-
FIL, has been in place since Israeli
forces withdrew in June 1978 after
their first invasion of southern Leb

Group doubts low
inflation outlook
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The country
would be wrong to say 4 percent an
nual price increases are a victory
against inflation, a group of former
government officials saicl Thursday.
It warned that America’s luck in
reducing double-digit inflation
could soon turn sour.
The group is headed by Herbert
Stein, chairman of President Rich
ard M. Nixon’s Council of Economic
Advisers, and Henry Fowler, Trea
sury secretary under President Lyn
don B. Johnson. It said the Reagan
administration was premature in
boasting that inflation has been sub
dued.
Stein and Fowler are co-chairmen
of the Committee to Fight Inflation,
a bipartisan group of 14 former gov
ernment officials formed in 1980.
“Neither congratulations nor
complacency are warranted,” the
group said in a policy statement.
“The reduction of inflation to the
neighborhood of 4 percent is in no
sense a victory.”
In his budget message to Corv
gress earlier this month, President
Reagan noted the small rise in con
sumer prices in 1984 and said, “In
flation remains well under control.”
Consumer prices had risen only
3.8 percent in 1983, the lowest rate
in more than a decade, after a 3.9
percent increase in 1982.
While the recent price perfor
mance looks good compared with
' “79;
the increases are still above the 1.5
piercent annual average turned in
during the 1950s and early 1960s,
Stein noted.
The Reagan administration is
projecting that inflation will be just
over 4 percent through 1987 and
drop to 3.8 percent in 1988.
But Stein and his colleagues said a
4 percent inflation rate would cut
the purchasing power of the dollar
in half in less than 18 years and do
enormous continuing damage to our
economy and our society.
Of even greater concern, the
group said, was the danger that in
flation may well start h
eating up
again.
“Some of the forces that have re
cently helped slow inflation, includ
ing the strong dollar and ample
worldwide supplies of food and oil,
cannot be counted on to continue in
definitely,” the committee said.
In addition, the current mood of
complacency presents the danger
that officials will be lured into aban
doning government policies needed
to keep inflation low — specifically
in the areas of budget deficits,
money growth and trade policy, the
group said.
double-digit rates in 1979 and 1980,
The committee called for prompt
action to reduce the federal budget
deficit, projected to hit $222.2 bil
lion this year, saying the $50 billion
deficit cut called for in the presi
dent’s budget was a good first step.

JEU
CHICAGO — Sushi may be sa
vory, but people who eat the raw fish
risk acquiring parasitic worms that
can cause sharp abdominal pains,
Japanese doctors say.
The worms must be removed by
an endoscopy, a procedure where
forceps are stuck down the patient’s
throat and esophagus into the stom
ach.
In 15 years, doctors in Japan
treated 178 patients who got round-
worms from eating uncooked fish.
The patients had abdominal pains
within 12 hours after eating, and
many suffered nausea and vomiting.
This condition is rare in the
United States despite the increasing
popularity of sushi, said Dr. Robert
Fontaine of the Centers for Disease
Control in Atlanta.
One possible reason, he said, is
that these worms are more common
in fish in Japan than in the United
States. They are found regularly on
the muscles of only a few species of
fish found in U.S.Waters, he said.
Fontaine said the first case in the
United States was reported last year
in Hawaii.
He reported the conclusions of
the Japanese doctors from an article
published in the Journal of the
American Medical.
