Israeli troops fired on a group of young Palestinians in the market place at Nablus, whose mayor was assassinated Sunday, wounding a 22-year-old in the leg, military sources reported. They said the Palestinians had refused to stop for questioning and some began throwing stones. The marketplace is near the spot where Mayor Zafer al-Masri was shot Sunday while walking to the city hall in Nablus, 30 miles north of Jerusalem. In occupied Gaza, Palestinian youths threw a smoke grenade at an Israeli army jeep patrolling the market of Gaza City, causing no casualties, the military sources said. Soldiers erected roadblocks, the sources said. Soldiers fired on demonstrators throwing stones Monday at a refu gee camp near Nablus, killing a Pal estinian man and wounding his son. At least 50,000 mourners, equiv alent to more than half the city’s population, filled the streets during al-Masri’s funeral later in the day. not true and we have no interest in | being so.” Peres said in a speech to army of ficers he intended to pursue his policy of looser control over cities in the West Bank of the Jordan River, despite growing domestic criticism. “We must not despair of our pro posal for devolution of authority in Judea and Samaria,” he said, using the biblical names for the area Is rael captured from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East war. “We do not want to run the Ar abs’ lives,” he said. “They are trying to describe us as conquerers. This is Peres said Israel would “continue f an initiative for direct dialogue with Jordanians and Palestinians.” One objective of the new policy is to build a moderate Palestinian leadership in the West Bank that can negotiate peace with Israel in association with Jordan. Al-Masri’s murder, which was taken as a warning against cooper ating with Israel, frightened three Palestinian moderates into with drawing their candidacies for other West Bank mayoral posts. • No to l B Official says Palme slain by professional THEATRE GUIDE Plitt Information Line 846-6714 Associated Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Police commissioner Hans Holmer said Tuesday he has concluded that the assassin of Prime Minister Olof Palme was a professional hit man.

GM to import inexpensive Korean cars in ’87 Associated Press DETROIT — Auto executive L. Michael Losh sensed something strange when he first set foot in a South Korean car plant, and then he spotted it. Accustomed to American workers in jeans and T-shirts, he watched Koreans toil on the assembly line while bundled to the neck in heavy winter coats. “They don’t heat the plants,” he said. “It makes for a brisk work envi ronment.” Losh tells the story with a smile, but not a laugh. No one in Detroit is laughing at the quickly rising Ko rean car industry these days, least of all Losh. As head of General Motors Corp.’s Pontiac division, he is coordi nating the importation early next year of a subcompact South Korean car that GM will call the Pontiac Le- Mans. GM will import the cars from Dae woo, one of three industrial con glomerates that now manufactures cars. Daewoo and the other two com panies, Hyundai and Kia, have a common goal — the lucrative U.S. auto market. South Korea’s competitiveness de rives from its labor costs. Its auto workers are paid about $2 an hour including benefits, according to a University of Michigan estimate, and they commonly work 60-hour weeks. The United Auto Workers union claims some Korean autoworkers are paid wages as low as 64 cents an hour. The first U.S. sales of South Ko rean cars were registered officially Tuesday by Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd, which this month introduced a front-wheel drive subcompact. Hyundai (pronounced Hunday) plans to sell 100,000 cars in the United States this year from its plant in Ulsan, South Korea.
