Hospitals in this ancient southern port said one guerrilla was killed and five guerrillas and a Lebanese civil ian were wounded in the first Israeli air force attack this year inside Leb anon. Slouch By Jim Earle I “He claimed that it violated his right to privacy because I knew his grades. Does he have a case if I'm his teacher?" Four jets rocketed the bases of Syrian-backed guerrillas on the out skirts of the Ein el-Hilweh Palestin ian refugee camp near Sidon, which is 25 miles south of Beirut. They made several passes at the three targets nestled among orange and lemon trees around the camp. The air attack occurred shortly before an infiltrator from Jordan killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded two in an ambush at the border settlement of Mehola in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli military command said the infiltrator was shot dead. Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel, who was in Berlin, said the air raid would not affect the plan for Middle East peace negotiations he is promoting on his European tour. Health official: Inhaling smoke can be harmful [for U.N. peacekeeping troops in south Lebanon dismantled four Associated Press WASHINGTON — It’s time to stop dismissing non-smokers as “fin icky busybodies” when they com plain about inhaling other people’s smoke, a government health-safety official said Wednesday. ing their values on smokers," Top ping said. However, he said, freeing non- smokers from exposure to others smoke “would save the lives of thou sands of non-smokers annually. 107mm Katyusha rockets pointed at Israel minutes before they were to be fired by an electronic timer Wednesday, a U.N. source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. It was the third time in a week that soldiers of the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon have found guerrilla rock ets and defused them. John C. Topping Jr., staff direc tor of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Air and Radia tion, said evidence linking “passive smoke” to disease, though fragmen tary, “seems sufficient to warrant strong steps to cut down involuntary exposure to cigarette smoke.” King Hussein of Jordan and Pal estine Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat have been meeting in Amman this week to con sider ways of overcoming U.S. objec tions to a PLO role in peace talks with Israel. The Israeli air strike, the first in Lebanon since Oct. 27, occurred two days after the bombing of a Jerusa lem pizza parlor in which little dam age and no casualties were reported. Topping, speaking at a National Academy of Sciences public hearing, said his own agency was not propos ing cigarette-smoke regulations. But he spoke approvingly of scattered cities, such as San Francisco, that have passed laws on the subject. And he said public health warnings would be a good idea. “The non-smokers’ rights movement has been portrayed by to bacco interests as an assemblage of Finicky busybodies intent on rrripos- Sorell L. Schwartz, pharmacology professor at Georgetown Universin Medical Center, said informadon gathered so far “is inadequate" to show- a real relationship betweei passive smoke exposure and tk presence of chemicals in a non smoker’s blood. He complained that one study suggesting a link between diseast and passive smoke depended on in terviews — of lung cancer victims relatives or friends — for such cm cial information as whether thost victims smoked and what exposure they had to others’ cigarette smoke. On the other hand, an author of the study that was criticized for in dependence on interviews, Dr. Lan rence Garfinkel, said: "The question of whether the involuntary smoker faces a Viealvh risk has beeu an swered. The time to act is now." Report says Americans are living longer Associated Press WASHINGTON — Americans are healthier and living longer, but also paying steeply for it, the govern ment said Wednesday in its annual report on the nation’s health. Life expectancy is at a record high and infant mortality at a new low, the report said. Although infant mortality fell to an estimated 10.6 deaths per 1,000 births in 1984, health experts said they continue to worry about the slowing pace of the decline, and a persistent gap between the rate at which white and black infants die. A child born in 1983 could expect to live 74.6 years, a new high, the study said. The longest life expec tancy is enjoyed by white females, 78.7 years; the shortest by black males, 65.4 years. On average, a man who turned 45 in 1983 could expect to live to the age of 74.7, more than three years Per capita spending on health reached $1,580 in 1984, three times the amount spent 10 years earlier. — Government annual re port. tion continues to surpass the overal rise in consumer pi ices, although at a slower pace than i i recent years. longer than his 1950 counterpart, while a woman celebrating her 45th birthday in 1983 could expect to live to 80.4, more than 4Vs: years longer than the 45-year-old woman of 1950. Gains in the nation’s health have not come cheaply, however. Per capita spending on health reached $1,580 in 1984, three times the amount spent 10 years earlier, the report said. And medical infla- Gains in life exj ectancy were at tributed in large p irt to the decline in cigarette smol< ,ng and to im proved tr~atment of high blood pressure. ' he latte * has been a focus of goverr ment < ducational cam paigns, particular! ' among blacks. While more th; n half of all adult males smoked in 1965, that figure dropped to about 35 percent in 1983. Statistics for women showeda much smaller decline in smoking from 34.2 percent to 29.9 percent- and black women showed an in crease. The difference showed in fatality rates. The death rate from heart dis ease dropped 28 percent from 1970 to 1984, while the death rate from strokes dropped 49 percent over the same period.
