Air raid by Israel bringsunc
threats for retaliation
of rc
SIDON, Lebanon (AP) — About
15,000 angry Palestinians vowed re
venge Sunday as they buried victims
of Israel’s deadliest air raid into Leb
anon this year.
Police put the final casualty toll at
49 people killed and 60 people
wounded in Saturday’s air attack on
Palestinian guerrilla bases on Sidon’s
outskirts.
Police also said eight bodies were
recovered from the rubble over
night.
It was the highest toll of Israel’s 22
air raids in Lebanon this year and Is
rael’s deadliest attack on Palestinians
since the 1982 Israeli invasion of
Lebanon.
“We shall avenge our martyrs!,”
the mourners chanted as the bodies
of 40 victims were buried in a mass
grave in Sidon’s Palestinian refugee
camp of Ein El-Hilweh.
Police said two Lebanese victims
were buried separately in Sidon,
provincial capital of south Lebanon
25 miles suth of Beirut.
Officials were arranging the
burial of seven other Palestinian vie
tims in the vast Rashidiyeh refuge*
camp at Lebanon’s southern por
city of Tyre, police said.
Police said the seven came Iron

30,000 people.

Doctors express optimism
about separation of twins
BALTIMORE (AP) — Physicians who participated in
a 22-hour operation to separate 7-month-old West Ger
man Siamese twins said Sunday that they would con
sider the surgery a success when the infants leave the
hospital.
“We will prefer to say that the operation was a success
if the twins can return home healthy,” said surgery
coordinator Dr. Mark Rogers, director of pediatric in
tensive care at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Doctors declined to predict the chances of survival
for Patrick and Benjamin Binder, who were joined at
the back of the head before the operation that began at
7 a.m. Saturday and ended at 5:10 a.m. Sunday.
“We take tremendous amount of pride in giving the
Binder twins the best chance they could have,” Rogers
said a media briefing that included some of 70 special
ists involved in the operation.
The twins’ parents, Josef and Theresia Binder of
Ulm, West Germany, were not at the news conference
and were unavailable for interviews or photographs,
said Lisa Hillman, spokesman for the hospital’s Chil
dren’s Center, where the operation was performed.
“Like any other parents, they were greatly relieved,”
Rogers said of the parents, adding that the twins were
expected to remain at the hospital for several weeks.
The biggest risk after such an operation is the forma
tion of a blood clot in the newly constructed blood ves
sels, as well as intracranial bleeding and heart complica
tions, physicians said. The critical period is the first
three to four days after the surgery, they said.
Earlier, Hillman said, “At the end of the 22-hour op
eration, the twins —Patrick and Benjamin Binderj
who are now two separate boys, were in critical but!

Rogers said.
Dr. Ben Carson said, “We knew we were under

It was only the second attempted separation o!i
amese twins in Hopkins’ 98-vear history. Five rears a
doctors successfully separated twin girls borntoal

Siamese twins occur in about 1 per 2 million I
million births and the survival rate of twins who!
been separated are normally no greater than 50 f
cent, Carson said.
Information about the Binder twins and theirf
has been difficult to obtain because a West Germ
magazine, Bunte, paid the parents of the twins anil
disclosed amount of money for exclusive rights toll

Security forces begin
to prepare protection
for pope's tour of U.S.
(AP) — Thousands of security of
ficers, bullet-proof shields, dogs,
metal detectors, helicopters — even
the Mounties — will guard Pope
John Paul II during his nine-city
U.S. tour. The guardians can only
hope, however, that the pontiff co

The Secret Service has a $5.7 mil
lion appropriation for protecting the
pope, and millions more will be ex
pended by state and local police and
sheriff s offices along the way.
“One of the major problems is the
Holy Father himself,” said Deacon
Norman Phillips, who is working on
security arrangements for the San
Francisco Archdiocese.
Monsignor Roger Morin, coordi
nator for the visit in New Orleans,
said, “The pope wants to go out to
the people and the people want to go
to the pope.”
The pope’s second extended visit
to the United States begins Thurs
day in Miami. In 10 days he will also
visit San Antonio; Columbia, S.C.;
New Orleans; Phoenix, Ariz.; Los
Angeles; Monterey, Calif.; San Fran
cisco and Detroit.
The security challenge is com
mensurate with the popularity, and
unpopularity, of the bishop of
Rome. Tens of thousands of friendly
people are anticipated along parade
routes and at gigantic masses in each
city and there will be smaller num
bers aggrieved with church positions
on women, abortion, birth control,
homosexuality and other issues.
All landing areas will be swept for
explosives. Manhole covers along all
motorcade routes will be secured,
and dogs will sniff for bombs at the
sites of each day’s events. Air traffic
will be restricted overhead.
In Miami, security forces will have
the additional responsibility of pro

Reagan celebrates 100th birthdq
of Republicans' elder statesman
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — President
Reagan on Sunday saluted Republi
can Party elder statesman Alf
Landon as personifying the “quiet
strength and simple decency” of
Americans.
Reagan and his wife, Nancy, stop
ping in Topeka en route back to
Washingtqn, took part in an early
birthday party for Landon, who
turns 100 on Wednesday.
“I can’t resist saying, ‘You don’t
know what a joy it is for a fellow like
me to go to a birthday party for
someone who in all honesty can call
me kid,’ ” said Reagan, 76.
Landon told the first couple, “It’s
a great day in my life, and it’s a great
day in the life of all of us, just to have
had the privilege we have had today,
to meet the president of the United
States and Mrs. Reagan.”
Reagan said it seems right that
Landon was born in 1887, the cen
tennial year of the Constitution, and
said that “no one is more the living
soul of Kansas, that means:
strength and simple deceno ;
Americans.”
On Landon’s 95th birthda'j
gan promised the elder states'!
ride on Air Force One to
ton and a birthday party;
White House if he made lOi
year, on his 99th birthday, b
admitted he probably would'
up to making the trip, but said'
