The annual event began in 1949. Tribune Yule Tree Set Aglow The Christmas season was officially ushered in Friday evening in downtown Salt Lake City with the lighting of The Salt Lake Tribune Christmas Living Community Christmas Tree and the downtown decorations. With carolling provided by West High Schools a capella choir, downtown commuters, shoppers and those who make the event an annual affair looked on during a chilly November evening as the tree and the decorations were lit at 6 p.m. in front of the Tribune Building, 143 S. Main St. The throwing of the switch, which has been an annual event since 1945, was done this year by Joanne Ray Milner of Salt Lake City. Ms. Milner won the honor last April when she was named the winner of the papers annual Arbor Day activities. "I used to come down here with my parents every year to watch the lights get turned on, she said of the ceremony which sets the thousands of lights on the Tribune Tree aglow. I never dreamed I'd be turning the switch on myself. Following the lighting of. the tree, the downtwon lights were brought to life in similar fashion. Before Ms. Milner threw the switch, Jess Agraz, chairman of the Central Business Improvement District wished everyone a happy holiday and thanked those who had a hand in the lighting of the tree and the downtown decorations specifically the citys parks and streets departments and the members of the Central Business Improvment District Lighting Committee. Before and after the lighting ceremony, director James Maher led West's a capella choir through a number of holiday selections. The choir has been associated with the ceremony for the past several years. The lighting of the tree and the downtown decorations put the cap on a busy Friday for the downtown area, as shoppers crowded the district's malls stores and shops to get an early jump on their Christmas shopping. Coming Sunday In The (Efibunc Having All Your Marbles Spokesmen for the warring Palestine Liberation Organization factions in Tripoli acknowledged the agreement, announced in Damascus by the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Syria, but indicated no timetable had been set and details remained to be worked out. The announcement capped five days of talks in the Syrian capital on ways to end the PLO war that has been going on since Nov. 3. As the agreement was announced, there was sporadic sniping along the front lines around Tripoli. Both the Syrian-backe- d rebels and forces loyal to Arafat were involved in the negotiations. Arafat Accepts Agreement Khaled Arafat's top political adviser, was quoted as saying in a radio interview that Arafat and members of the executive committee of his Fatah guerrilla organization accepted the agreement. Of course he agroed. Not only him, but all the fighters have to leave Tripoli and its surroundings, said on an Arabic program on Radio Monte Carlo. But he suggested their departure was not imminent, saying it had to be arranged between Arafat and Tripolis veteran politician, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rashid Karami. It will be up to Saudi Arabia and Syria to provide the necessary facilities for the departure of Arafat and his fighters from Tripoli, added. d Rebels Col. Abu Khaled chief d of staff of the PLO rebels, welcomed the agreement but expressed reservations about the planned evacuation of all guerrilla forces from the Tripoli area. "Only Arafat has fighters there. Our men are only in the Palestinian camps near Tripoli and we have to stay there to ensure the protection of our people in the camps, told an Associated Press reporter in Damascus. The colonel said the rebels were determined to keep their forces in refthe Baddawi and Nahr ugee camps, which they captured from Arafat's loyalists during the Syrian-Supporte- Syrian-supporte- Remembering Television Row Chuckle Todays The little boy who was sent to the store and could never remember what he went for, finally grew up to be a congressman!

Many of the 40,000 Palestinian d refugees who lived in the two shell-ravage- camps had fled during the fighting that claimed more than 440 lives, according to a count by the International Red Cross. The rebels claim Arafat has become too soft on Israel and Arafat has claimed that Syria is trying to gain control over the PLO. The Damascus agreement, announced by Syrian foreign minister Abdul-HaliKhaddam and con firmed by his Saudi counterpart, called for a Prince Saud and an end to permanent cease-fir- e "all forms of hostility between the PLO factions. All Palestinian fighters would be removed from Tripoli and its environs in northern Lebanon, the agreement said, and the PLO dispute should be settled through peaceful political dialogue. It said a committee of Tripolis political and religious leaders, headed by Karami, is to supervise the cease-fir- e and the departure of the PLO warriors and their arms within two weeks. Mitterrand, Kohl Ask Soviets To Rejoin Talks By Tyler Marshall Los Angeles Times Writer French BONN, West Germany President Francois Mitterrand and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl issued a joint appeal Friday urging the Soviet Union to resume nuclear disarmament negotiations at the earliest possible time. Kohl read the joint statement at a news conference here after two days of talks with the French president that concentrated heavily on the issue of intermediate-rang- e nuclear missiles Europe and its impacj on Western European security. The two leaders condemned Moscow's walkout Wednesday from the Geneva talks on intermediate-rang- e nuclear forces and said that the Soviets would be responsible for the consequences. The Soviet departure from the negotiations followed Tuesdays vote by the West German Parliament to approve immediate deployment of U.S. Pershing 2 and cruise nuclear missiles, part of a strategy to counter an earlier buildup of Soviet missiles. We appeal to the Soviet Union to return to the conference table and make its contribution to disarmament, the balance of power and a stabilization of East-Werelations, they said. It is in the interest of the Soviets, as well as all other nations, that these negotiations continue, Mitterrand added. The two leaders also expressed regret concerning plans for additional missile deployments in East SS-2- 0 st ern Europe announced Thursday by Soviet President Yuri V. Andropov. Speaking to reporters in Brussels, Paul H. Nitze, U.S. chief negotiator at the Geneva intermediate-rang- e missile talks, described Andropovs statement as a hardening of the position Moscow took Wednesday in Geneva. Andropovs strongly worded statement said that the Soviets would take no further pdrt in the Ge- neva negotiations. Moscows chief negotiator at those talks, Yuli A. Kvitsinsky, had said when he walked out Wednesday only that no new meeting date had been fixed, which some took as an indication that the walkout might be of limited duration. Later Friday, Nitze traveled to Bonn, where he met for an hour with West German Foreign Minister Genscher. In a statement issued after the meeting, Genscher stressed the West German Hans-Dietric- h determination to press ahead with both elements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organizations dual-trac- k policy: to negotiate with the Soviets while proceeding with deployment of the missiles. Mitterrand's visit constituted an opportunity for him to publicly reaffirm French support for the West German chancellor's controversial support of the U.S. missile deployment. A strong West Germany between France and the nations of the Soviet Bloc is a cornenne of French defense policy. The visit also provided Kohl with a forum for reaffirming West Germanys commitment to NATO. governments Chinese Diplomats Plea for Asylum Causes Unscheduled Plane Landing By Mark Heinrich Associated Press Writer A Chinese CHICAGO (AP) - dip- lomat whose plea for asylum Today's Forecast Salt Lake City and vicinity Scattered snow showers.
