JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli
troops on Tuesday tracked down
and attacked a band of Arab guerril
las infiltrating from Lebanon into Is
rael. Two Israelis and three guerril
las were killed, authorities said.
Two other Israeli soldiers were
wounded in the firefight. One was in
serious condition with a bullet
wound to his chest, authorities said.
The attack in the rocky terrain
and scrub brush near the Lebanese
border was the bloodiest border
clash since Dec. 8 when Palestinian
riots began in Israeli-occupied terri
tories to the south.
In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, the
army blocked hundreds of Palestin
ians from reaching jobs in Israel by
confiscating their ID cards and re
quiring them to undergo checks at
government offices.
The government also temporarily
revoked the press credentials of two
foreign journalists, Martin Fletcher
of NBC and Glenn Frankel of the
Washington Post, for failing to sub
mit their dispatches to military
censorship.
The border attack began before
dawn when Israeli soldiers on a pa
trol discovered footprints northeast
of the town of Kiriyat Shimona, an
army spokesman said.
For several hours, troops lit the
skies with flares and searched for the
intruders, the spokesman said.
The soldiers found the guerrillas
about 200 yards inside the border
and opened fire.
The guerrillas responded by hurl
ing hand grenades and firing a
rocket, the spokesman said.
5-year-old boy tells
preschool students
he has AIDS virus
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Five-
year-old Jonathan began his first day
of preschool Monday by telling his
seven classmates he has AIDS.
“He said, ‘This is my oxygen, and
I have a disease. My bad blood could
kill you,’ ” said Sheila, the child’s
mother, who took her son to the spe
cial education class at Patterson El
ementary School.
sons, she has asked that her last
name not be published because she
fears retaliation against her family.
Jonathan, who uses a portable ox
ygen tank to assist in breathing, sur
prised his mother by volunteering
the information as the other chil
dren were introducing themselves,
she said.
“He addressed it up front,” she
said. “He didn’t wait for anything.
And the kids responded really well.
He broke the ice right off and from
then on it was just normal kid stuff.”
A divorced mother of three other
“They listened and they played
with me,” Jonathan said of the hour
he spent in the classroom. Asked
whether his first day was as much
fun as he expected, he replied sim
ply, “Yeah.”
The two talked with reporters
outside the family’s condominium in
Lakewood. Reporters and photogra
phers were not allowed inside the
classroom at the request of the other
students’ parents.
Jonathan is the state’s first re
corded child victim of the fatal dis
ease, his mother said. The youngster
contracted AIDS from tainted blood
he received in a transfusion shortly
after birth and was diagnosed in
June 1985.
World Briefs
Saudi Arabia breaks relations with Iran
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) —
Saudi Arabia accused Iran of terror
ism and subversion and broke rela
tions Tuesday, ordering all Iranian
diplomats to leave the kingdom
within a week.
A statement broadcast by state-
run television and distributed by the
official Saudi Press Agency cited a
riot by Iranians during a pilgrimage
to Mecca last year in which hundreds
of people died, a subsequent attack
on the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and
attacks on commercial shipping in
the Persian Gulf.
On Sunday, Iranian speedboats
attacked a Saudi-owned tanker in
the Strait of Hormuz.
UN condemns murder of PLO leader
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The
Security Council on Monday con
demned the assassination of the
PLO’s military commander and the
United States abstained, allowing the
resolution to pass 14-0.
The resolution did not accuse Is
rael of killing Khalil Wazir, the sec
ond in command in the PLO, but Is
raeli sources and Tunisian officials
have said Wazir was slain by Israeli
commandos.
America frequently has used its
veto power as one of the council’s
five permanent members to block
resolutions criticizing Israel.
Polish steelworkers strike for more pay
WARSAW (AP) — Hundreds of
steelworkers in southern Poland
went on strike for more pay Tuesday
as laborers’ frustrations over rising
inflation boiled over for the second
time in two days.
Other workers threatened a walk
out at a heavy machinery plant to
protest the firing of two leaders of
the indepencieni Solidarity trade
union for leading a protester’s rally.
On Monday, a strike by 2,800
transit workers in the western city of
Bydgoszcz shut down buses and
trams for 11 hours, forcing provin
cial officials to boost hourly wages
more than 60 percent.
It is the first major protest since
1981.
Non-OPEC nations offer oil-export cut
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Seven
independent oil-producing nations,
seeking to help OPEC boost oil
prices, proposed late Tuesday that
both groups temporarily cut their
exports by 5 percent, Mexico’s oil
minister said.
Rilwanu Lukman, the Nigerian
president of the 13-nation Organiza
tion of Petroleum Exporting Coun
tries, called the offer “a good begin
ning.”
Analysts said the proposal, if im
plemented, could at least temporar
ily reverse the recent decline in oil
prices caused by excess supplies.
A soldier involved in the clash said
troops and guerrillas were six feet
away from each other when the
fighting began.
“They were hiding on a deep
slope inside a maze of trees,” the sol
dier, who would not give his name,
told Israel radio. “It was not possible
to see them. From inside the maze
the terrorists opened fire.”

Groups agree to ban plastic handguns
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ihe
Reagan administration and law
enforcement groups agreed
Tuesday on compromise legis
lation to ban undetectable plastic
handguns, using an approach
that has been staunchly opposed
by the National Rifle Association
and its legislative supporters.
Joseph A. Morris, director of
the Justice Department’s office of
liaison, said me proposed legis
lation would be sent to Congress
this week.
The compromise represents a
change in position for Attorney
General Edwin Meese III, who
earlier endorsed the NRA ap

Panel wants warning on acne drug
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — A
federal advisory committee de
clined Tuesday to recommend
withdrawal of a popular acne
medication known to cause birth
defects in pregnant women.
However, after reaching that
unanimous decision, the panel of
outside experts asked the Food
and Drug Administration to look
into the legality of requiring some
restrictions on how the drug, Ac
cutane, is prescribed and taken.
It also adopted a series of rec
ommendations to strengthen the
warnings supplied to doctors who
prescribe the drug and to word
more clearly the warnings given
to patients themselves.
Economy grows during first quarter
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Strong spending by American
consumers helped the economy
grow at a healtny 2.3 percent an
nual rate during the first three
months of 1988, the government
said Tuesday, dispelling fear of
any lingering ill effects from the
October stock
market crash.
The Commerce Department,
in its first look at overall eco
nomic performance this year,
said consumer spending, the big
gest surge in business investment
in more than four years and
growing exports kept the gross
national product rising despite
declines in government spending
and housing construction.
“So much for the recession that
was supposed to occur in the first
quarter,” Commerce Undersecre
tary Robert Ortnersaid.
Fitzwater: U.S. wants to cut gulf action
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan’s spokesman sug
gested Monday that the adminis
tration wants to return U.S.
forces in the Persian Gulf to lim
ited rules of engagement.
While emphasizing that no de
cisions have been made on how
American naval power will be
used, spokesman Marlin Fitzwa-
ter said, “Everybody acknowl
edges that we need to move bad
to some more limited set of
rules.”
The talk of a change in policy
came as a result of the mining ofa
U.S. frigate and last Monday’s ex
tensive fighting between Iranian
and U.S. forces.
Teller machine users keep free cash
NEW YORK (AP) — Your
bank cash machine has gone ber
serk, giving out $20 bills as if they
were fivers, yet your receipt
shows no sign of overpayment.
Do you use the emergency tele
phone to alert the bank, or do
you take the money and run?
If you chose the first option,
you are a rare breed of cat,
judging from an unintentional
ethics experiment staged Sunday
at a Manhattan bank branch.
Because some hapless bank
employee loaded a canister of P
bills into the slot for $5 bills, an
accidental exercise in income re
distribution took place.
Although the cash machine
panel has a 24-hour telephone
for reporting problems outside
hank hours, there were only “one
or two calls,” bank spokesman
Robert Nolan said.
Instead, a line of eager card
holders quickly formed at the ma
chine.
