Reagan, returning Sunday from his weekend retreat at Camp David, Md., ignored reporters’ shouted questions as he emerged from his he licopter and entered the White House. White House spokesman Roman Popaduik said he had no informa tion on reports in the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times that a group of presidential advisers was pushing for a high-level shakeup in Reagan’s staff. Dole said Regan told him earlier Sunday that he knew nothing about such an effort. “It’s all a little bizarre, frankly,” Dole said. “The only person who could put this to rest is the president, and it would seem to me the quicker the better.” The Post said Attorney General Edwin Meese III and others had sounded out former Secretary of Transportation Drew Lewis about taking over as White House chief of staff. But Patrick Korten, deputy direc tor of public affairs for the Justice Department, said he knew of no such overtures. Harvey Turner, a spokesman for Lewis, who is now president of the Union Pacific Corp., said he would check with Le wis. But when a reporter later at tempted to reach Turner by tele phone, there was no answer. Dole said, “When people say, ‘Why aren’t you supporting the pres ident?’ it’s rather difficult when the secretary of state is not doing any thing.” Shultz has made clear his opposi tion to the arms shipments and said last week that officials behind the operation had told him little about it. Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., said on “Face the Nation” that Reagan should hold a press conference and admit to mistakes regarding Iran. He said although Congress had been told the arms were valued at $12 million, it appears the pricetag could be as much as $ 100 million. se I a lot oil ael in i ecame 'i list in cation could ms, ruing federali unded [10,11 ish ■man. ect w [unit rts fflli iniqufi 1 ion. Newspaper: Libya has nerve gas LONDON (AP) — A weekly newspaper said Sunday that Li- aya has Soviet-made nerve gas varheads and has passed some of hem on to Syria and Iran.

Student’s killing sparks violence in protest by Jews JERUSALEM (AP) — About 700 Jews shouting “Death to Arabs!” marched through Jerusalem on Sun day, and some smashed windows and bashed doors in a protest rising from the fatal stabbing of a Jewish seminary student a week ago. A rabbi demanded vengeance for the Nov. 15 knifing of his student, 22-year-old Eliyahu Amedi, in the Moslem quarter of the walled Old City of Jerusalem. Three Palestinian suspects were arrested in connection with the kill ing. About 400 police and soldiers were deployed in the Old City and along the one-mile march route from Amedi’s home in the Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood to the site of the stabbing on the doorstep of his seminary. Most Arabs shuttered their homes and stayed inside. Baton-wielding police drove other Arabs off the streets, saying it was for their own protection. Two Arabs were rescued by riot police from a mob throwing bottles in a narrow alley. One policeman was hit in the head by a bottle. Witnesses said marchers hurled stones and banged on the metal shutters of stores and homes, shout ing “Arabs out!” and “We want re venge!” Three demonstrators were seen being dragged into a police van. Jerusalem Police Commander Yo sef Yehudai said the demonstrators were arrested on suspicion of smash ing car windows. Earlier, hundreds of mourners gathered at Amedi’s grave for a me morial service. Rabbi Eliezer Berland, head of the seminary Amedi had attended, encouraged the crowd. “We will redeem your blood even if it costs us our lives,” he said. “We will avenge this blood.” Meanwhile, Police Commissioner David Krauss reported to the Cab inet on the weeklong anti-Arab spree of arson and stone-throwing by Jews. He said 45 people were arrested, eight of them Arabs, not including the three arrested Sunday. ral biq ionifi ; d M aeria] eir fl® ctedi'-l ongressmen voice satisfaction it failed coup, support for Aquino liavd d.“H f it wi iedttj dafj it-j 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — The ad- iinistration and key congressional leaders repeated Sunday “strong Rid unequivocal” support for Phil ippine President Corazon Aquino ?nd expressed satisfaction that a re potted coup attempt failed. I Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee Chairman Richard Lugar, R- Ind., said Aquino “is the only unify ing factor in Filipino politics,” and added that, “Mrs. Aquino is receiv ing assurances every day from the United States government of 100 percent support.” ■ As news came from Manila that (Aquino was receiving the resigna tions of her Cabinet members, State Department spokeswoman Anita Stockman said, “We are pleased that this reported coup attempt failed.” The president’s request for resigna tions followed a night in which sol diers loyal to her took over radio and television facilities as coup rumors swept the capital. “We reiterate our strong and un equivocal support for President Aquino and her administration,” Stockman said. “We earnestly hope her appeal of Nov. 23 for all sectors of Philippine society to unite in pro tecting democracy and reconstruct ing their country meets with suc cess.” The reported coup plans were ap parently quashed as Aquino’s chief of staff, Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, on Sunday ordered military command ers to disregard all orders except those issued by him or his deputies, and to defend the government against a plot to oust Aquino. Ramos cited intelligence reports that politicians from the Marcos re gime planned to move against the government with backing from “some elements of the military.” In Honolulu, where the deposed president now lives, Marcos declined any immediate comment on the de velopments in his homeland, his spokesman, Guillermo Trinidad, said. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., incoming chairman of the Senate Armed Serv ices Committee, on Sunday ex pressed support for Aquino’s actions during the recent test of her author ity, and said the United States must leave her to call the shots.
