A guerrilla and two Israeli soldiers were killed, one guerrilla was captured and another one es caped back to Lebanon. Nine Israelis have been killed in four infiltrations since November. Israeli leaders saw die stepped-up raids as an attempt hv Yasser Ar afat's Fatah guerrillas to recover lost prestige in the West Bank and Cia/a Strip. “The PEG is trying to demon strate its ability to participate in and even to influence the events in die (occupied) territories,’’ L.t. Gen. Dan Shomron. armed forces chief of staff, said on Israel Radio. “ I fie in fluence is actually very small. And they try to act in the way that they know — against civilians.” Israel also protested a PLO-spon- sored plan to send 100 Palestinians deported acthists back to Israel on a Greek-owned ship scheduled to leave Feb. 10. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir toured two Gaza Strip refugee camps and vowed to improve living conditions in the squalid areas, which have been a spawning ground for recent violence.

Doctors and patients prefer longer stays for major surgical pro cedures, to ensure adequate prepa ration before an operation, adequate recovery afterward and to reduce the nursing burden on family mem bers, the study says. But researchers who studied 1982 data on almost 500,000 patients were unable to find medical reasons for longer surgical stays at high- competition hospitals, they said in Friday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. I he American Hospital Assoc ia tion, which represents more than 0,000 hospitals nationwide, had no immediate comment on the study, spokesman Andrea Manmnan said. I he picture has changed since their study, the researchers acknowl edge, because new spending limits set by die Medicare program start ing in 1983 and similar pressures from private health plans have ‘dra matically reduced” lengths of stay.

Luft, health economist of the University of Cali fornia at San Francisco. “In fact, what we found was the more competition, the higher the cost,” he added in a telephone inter view Thursday. But overall costs still are going up, and the researchers now are investi gating “whether there is still a differ ential between competitive and non competitive" markets, said James C. Robinson, assistant professor of health economics at die University of Calif ornia at Berkeley. Robinson and his colleagues found that in 1982 “hospitals in the most competitive markets reported average lengths of patient stay 16.9 percent higher . . , than comparable hospitals that had no nearby neigh bors.” The study adds to previous evi dence that hospitals respond to com petition largely by adding fancy equipment, extra, beds and other amenities — in effect, participating in a “medical arms race” that dupli cates services and drives costs up, the researchers said. They studied 747 non-federal, short-term hospitals around the na tion, dividing them into four groups according to the number of other hospitals within a 15-mile radius and measuring that against stays for 10 types of surgery. Lengths of stay increased with in creasing competition for all 10 pro cedures.

The fire on New Year’s Eve 1986 killed 97 people and injured more than 140. It was the second most deadly fire in U.S. history after the 1946 Winecoff Hotel fire in Atlanta that killed 1 19. Ihe arrests came after Common wealth prosecutors reached agreement with Hector Escttdero Aponte, 36, hours before the former hotel maintenance worker was to go on trial on 97 counts of first degree murder and one count each of arson and conspiracy. San Juan District Attorney^ I Betancourt said Escudero I agreed to testify against three^ | arrested Wednesday. Escudero Aponte, who confessed to setting the fire, was allowed to plead guilty instead on Wednesday to reduced charges of second degree murder, arson and conspiracy. He was sentenced to concurrent terms totaling 30 years. Puerto Rico’s Justice identified the three as Manuel 1 sus Santiago Rios, vice pre# Teamsters Local 901 at the® the fire; Luis M.

Don Ralbovsky, a NIH spokes man, acknowledged that the letter was sent on Jan. 28, but said Wyng aarden was out ol town and others who could comment were not reach able. In the letter, Wyngaarden said the NTH also is collaborating in a Swed ish study of 40,000 patients who have received low doses of iodine- 131 for medical diagnostic reasons. “We have also evaluated m five mortality data regarding bie cancer risks in the genetf ulation living downwind ' Nevada nuclear test site,” tlif : said. “While many reported^ tions are unsupported bytlit# a small increase in leukc"”' southwest Utah cannot be nil® at this time.”
