JERUSALEM (UPI) a lawyer were and two doctors journalists detained today by Israeli authorties in an apparent crackdown on moderate Arabs who suroort the Palestine Liberation Organization The action came one day after four West Bank activists were deported to southern Lebanon for allegedly inciting riots that have left at least 36 Arabs dead in the West Bank and Gaza Strip In the occupied territories 13 camps were under curfew and scattered UN-refug- ee reported Shops in east Jerusalem and the West Bank towns of Ramallah and Tulkarm remained closed for the fourth day of a declared general strike Six Jerusalem journalists two doctors and a lawyer from Gaza were detained today Hanna Seniora editor of the Arabic daily A1 Fair who was taken into custody in his home toaay last week called for a boycott of disturbances cigarettes as part of civil disobedience campaign to protest Israel’s handling of disturbances in the West Bank and Gaza Strip Immediately after the boycott announcement authorities said Seniora was under investigation for possible incitement Most Arabs ignored the boycott Ibrahim Kara’in owner of the Palestinian Press Service and Ghaffan Ayub editor of the daily A1 Quds were arrested later today as a news conference by moderate Arabs was beginning at the National Palace Hotel in east Israeli-mad- e Jerusalem At the conference Sari Nusseibeh a Bir

Rahmeh chairman of the Gaza Lawyer Assocation Dr Haider Abdashafi head of the Gaza Red Crescent and Dr Aria El Azar chairman of the Arab Medical Association were ordered to appear in military court for allegedly collaborating with the PLO said a spokesman for the law group On Wednesday four West Bank Arabs were taken by helicopter to southern Lebanon driven to the edge of the Israel's “security zone” inside that country and told to walk north military sources said body The bill would mandate that liquor purchased in licensed restaurants be served by a waiter or waitress limit diners to a single drink at the table at a time and require servers to keep a running list of the type and amount of alcoholic beverages consumed Current state law requires drinking diners to carry their own minibottles to the table after purchasing them from the restaurant Christensen said the bill and another measure to create a task force to study liquor laws and recommend reforms has been aired before several concerned groups including the Mormon Church “Church officials told us they don't endorse them (the bills) or oppose them” Christensen said As long as the final bill focuses on alcoholic beverage control and enforcement rather than promoting consumption “the church will have no formal opposition to its enactment” said spokesman Jerry Cahill Cahill also said “we don’t have any objections” to the task force bill The Mormon Church which claims membership of about 70 percent of Utah's population believes consumption of alcoholic beverages is a sin The table service bill was first filed in the 1987 Legislature but was quietly withdrawn without debate Lobbyists supporting the bill said opposition from church leaders helped scuttle the measure although Mormon officials said they had no official stance Rep Grant Protzman Ogden already has introduced the table service bill in the House but said he will delay moving it until the Senate acts Protzman and other supporters have mustered backing for the table service bill by promoting it as a control plan as well as one that would help soften perceptions of Utah liquor laws In addition to giving servers greater control over the sale and consumption of liquor the bill contains a provision barring restaurants from making “a person’s willingness to serve alcoholic beverages” a condition of employment pro-alcoh- ol

differences hitching a free ride on the back of American military spending They want to see more yen spent on defense Yet as Alan Romberg of the Council on Foreign Relations points out “To what constructive purpose do people assume an additional $500 billion (in defense spending) over the next 10 years would be put? One Japanese defense expert has asserted that (such money) could finance 10 aircraft task forces!" This subtle reminder of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor points up that paradox in US relations with its World War II enemy While recognizing Japan as a economic competitor profiting from US military protection American leaders do not want it to be a equal ie militarily Nor do Japan's neighbors in the Pacific including the Soviet Union Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone Nakasone is more extroverted than his scholarly sometimes cryptic former finance minister But the ultimate keys to the relationship are found in the numbers — and what to do about them The two giant countries account for more than of the world's economic product and Japan is when it comes to trade taking in almost a super-gian- t about $115 billion more than it spends overseas Other differences in the relationship between At the same time the Pacific island nation is a military midget spending about 1 percent of what the Washington and Tokyo show them to be culturally still United States does on defense Some members of at some distance while linked closely by screaming Congress have angrily accused the Japanese of currency traders and computers in both countries US-Japane- big-leagu- one-thir- d is sf Comics Crossword i DrGott About Cache Almanac Ann Landers Births Classified ads 4 20 20 4 22 Family Corner Focus Happenings 20 21 20 20 15 13 14 Obituaries Opinion Region report Sports Stock prices 20 Theaters Horoscope Letters to the Editor 18 Weather 4 4 18 3 9 4 21 4 a were born to Michele and Raymond L'Esperance They are believed to be the first quintuplets in the : !
