Police said 300 people were killed in the showdown between Gemayels Phalange Party militia and the Lebanese Forces faction led by Hobeika. Gemayel opposes the peace plan, which would give Moslems more political power at the the expense of traditionally dominant Christians. Gemayels victory appeared to dash hopes of its implementation. Although no casualties were reported at Bikfaya, at least 15 combatants were killed and more than 50 wounded Thursday as the Syrian-backe- d militia alliance pushed from the north and east into the Christian heartland held by Gemayel.

Moammar Khadafys second in command said Thursday. No force on earth can liquidate the revolution, even if it liquidates ind dividuals, Maj. Abdul Salaam said. No force, even President Reagan, can defeat us psychologically. We will never retreat an inch. We have received letters from some 10,000 young Arabs and Moslems asking to be trained for suicide missions if America goes to war with Libya, Jalloud told a news conference in Tripoli. Wednesday, Khadafy declared his country will serve a base for the liberation of Palestine and said he would train and equip Arabs for suicide missions against the United States. In Washington, Secretary of State George Shultz said Khadafys statement supports the U.S. contention that Libya is implicated in international terrorism, adding the Libyan leader is his own smoking gun. Jalloud, repeating the theme of war with the United States voiced by Khadafy, said a conflict with the United States would be comprehensive rather than limited. We are not Christians, Jalloud said. We dont turn the other cheek and don't think we're handcuffed when Reagan wants to do something? Reagans terrorist administration is wrong to think its struggle is only with Col. Khadafy. Khadafy is part of a new generation of revolutionaries in the Arab world and Africa. On Jan. 7 President Reagan, saying Khadafy is linked to international terrorism, ordered all commercial links with Libya cut, Libyan assets in the United States frozen and Americans to leave Libya by Feb. 1. Reagan exempted humanitarian projects. Reagan cited the Dec. 27 Palestinian attacks on the Rome and Vienna airports in which 19 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded. Khadafy has praised the attacks but denied any involvement. Jalloud warned that Libya would direct its trade from the West to the Soviet bloc if Europe joined the U.S. embargo against Libya, and declared the U.S. sanctions will only make Economic sancLibya tions cannot hurt us. He said Libyas Peoples Congresses, or local councils, would decide whether Libya would freeze American assets in the country in retaliation for a similar action by WashingBENGHAZI, 10,000 Jal-lou- ton.
