Show itw Israel Skeptical Evacuation Plan a Frand? By Associated Press Lebanese officials expressed cautious optimism Saturday that the PLO would begin evacuating west Beirut in a few days, but sources close to Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin dismissed the latest withdrawal proposals as fraudulent. The Israeli sources, who asked not to be identified, said the reports Israel has received about the negotiations in Beirut indicate that it will not be acceptable. Apparently, the plan (Lebanese Prime Minister Shafik) Wazzan is talking about is to get several hundred terrorists out of Beirut and then have a French force between them and us. Then the PLO would not have to leave, and this would prevent Israel from putting pressure on them. That would be a wonderful plan for allowing the PLO to remain, but this is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve, one source said. Conveys Opposition Jerusalem conveyed to both Washington and Paris its opposition to the deployment of foreign troops in Beirut before all the guerrillas pulled out, the Israels state radio reported. The Israeli reaction tossed cold water on hopes expressed by Lebanese leaders that the negotiations to end the siege of Beirut by evacuating the Palestine Liberation Organization fighters were about to succeed. It also contrasted with optimistic Israeli statements issued earlier Saturday. A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Yossi Amihud, had said that while Israel did not have anything concrete or final, there had been movement an arrogant position by the invader. Habib, in keeping with past practice, said nothing to reporters. I have conveyed to Mr. Habib the. PLOs answers to requested clarifications. I hope they are the last. He is completely satisfied with the positive Wazzan said. He did not responses, spell out the clarifications that had been sought or the responses. PLO chairman Yasser Arafat was Voice of quoted by the Arab Lebanon radio station as saying the PLO has agreed to begin the evacuation early this week and has already conveyed this decision to Wazzan. No other details were given. Lebanons elder statesman Saeb Salam told reporters Saturday that final arrangments for the PLO evacuation and simultaneous arrival of a multinational peacekeeping force to west Beirut would take a day or two. by the PLO during the week, thanks to military pressure applied by Israel. Barrage Israel launched a artillery barrage on west Beirut as the sun set Saturday, but apart from that, there was little fighting reported. The Israelis reported one soldier wounded when his patrol vehicle hit a mine near Tyre, south of Beirut. The Israelis also maintained their blockade on electricity, water and fuel supplies to west Beiruts 0 estimated inhabitants, k but allowed a convoy carrying 6.5 tons of milk and seven tons of medical supplies, including plasma, into the guerrilla-hel- d enclave. Nonetheless, the International Red Cross spokesman in west Beirut, Kurtz, said if there is one more day of heavy shelling and bombing there will not be a single bed in any hospital in west Beirut for wounded people.

The president told reporters consultations on forming a new government would begin Monday. The resignation came one day after seven Socialist ministers resigned from Cabinet following Parlithe ament's rejection of a Socialist proposal to speed up tax payments by oil companies as part of the governments economic austerity program. The ministers angrily accused several Christian Democrats, the largest coalition faction, of publicly supporting the proposal but voting against it in the secret balloting. five-part- Cabinet communique said the Socialists considered the vote an act of no confidence in the government as a whole." A The year-old Spadolini, a former newspaper editor, refused to comment to reporters on why he quit. He was the first Democrat to head one of Italys governments since 1945. Twelve of the 41 postwar governments were in power longer than Spadolini's, which lasted days. 405 Until Pertini names a premier-designat- e to form a new government or announces a general election, Spadolini will continue to run the countrys y affairs as head of a caretaker government. Political observers said consultations on forming a new government will likely be lengthy. It was 33 days before Spadolini formed a government on June 28, 1981, replacing the government of Christian Democrat Arneldo Forlani, who quit because three of his ministers were linked to a Masonic lodge scandal. Pertini, an Socialist, told reporters he did not want to call a general election two years ahead of schedule because it would be a trauma for the country. But the Italian press has speculated the Socialists want to force an early election because they have gained in local balloting since 1979 and believe they can increase their parliamentary strength from the current 10 percent. A large gain would put Socialist leader Bettino Craxi in a position to demand more Cabinet seats or even the post of premier, Italian newspapers say. day-to-da- Inside The Tribune Tribune Telephone Numbers, Page A-- 2 Page National 5 Obituaries 3 Pub.

A terrorist group calling itself the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia claimed responsibility, for the attack in a telephone call to The Associated Press office in Beirut, Lebanon. The terrorists said their first attack within Turkish borders was to avenge the purported massacre of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915-1The Turkish government refuses to acknowledge the claim. A witness, Nihat Erdebil, said one of the terrorists kept firing on the fleeing More passengers while screaming, than a million of us died, what does it matter if 25 of you die? Earlier, the state radio reported seven people were killed. But a communique later by the martial law command said one terrorist, three Turkish policemen and an American passenger died. No reason was given for the change. The Anatolia news agency quoted witnesses as saying a West German engineer identified as Herbert Osanowski, 53, also was killed. The report was confirmed by the engineers Turkish interpreter. In Washington, the State Department said one American was killed and another was wounded. Identities were not immediately released but the dead worac.i was reported to be around 60 The timing of the deployment of the international force appears to be the chief Israeli objection to the plan that is emerging. The Israeli source said Habib had promised Israel that the international force would enter Beirut only after the PLO had left. The PLO has been insisting that the international force arrive as its troops begin leaving. Habibs Resolution Because of Habibs silence, it was not clear how he planned to reconcile the apparent discrepancy between the demands of the Israelis and the plan being outlined to reporters in Beirut. Salam said the last hitch in the negotiations was an official answer from Syria to agree to serve as a staging point for the guerrillas who would leave Beirut overland. He said the reply was expected shortly. There is light at the end of the tunnel and its not a very long tunnel, Salam said. Sources close to the PLO, anonymity, said Wazzan conveyed to Habib a list of the names and personal arms of the guerrillas slated for evacuation. The pro-PLsaid the number of newspaper evacuees ranged between 6,000 and By J. Roy Bardsley There is substantial evidence, based on their own admissions, that at least 16 out of every 100 Utahns cheat on their income taxes by not reporting all income. Those most likely to attempt tax eva- sion are men, younger people, middle income and college graduates, most of whom have less fear of being caught by Uncle Sam neighbors. than their These findings surfaced in a statewide poll on income tax evasion sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune and conducted by Bardsley and a private research organization. The key question came straight to the point by asking: Within the past five years or so, have you missed reporting some income even a minor amount often, sometimes, seldom or never? A total of 16 percent admitted not reporting some income, with an additional 2 percent unsure.

One reason Utahns cheat whether is less fear of being a little or a lot caught by Uncle Sam. For example, only 7 percent who admitted cheating felt that those who failed to report large amounts would very likely be caught, as opposed to 18 percent among those who claim they always report all income. All in all 58 percent of the Utah public felt that taxpayers who cheat a lot are either very or "quite likely to be caught, while only 27 percent felt small offenders would be detected by the IRS. These figures are based on two questions that asked respondents how likely they felt that those who cheat a lot or "just a little would be caught.
