National and international news from the Reutcr News Report Senate approves freeze on farm price support WASHINGTON - The Senate Thursday agreed to President Reagan's long-sought freeze on agriculture support prices, which are designed to save the government $2.5 billion to $3 billion over the next three years. The measure passed on a vote of 78-10. House and Senate conferees must iron out dif ference between the Senate version and one which passed the House last year. Agriculture Secretary John Block said in a statement he hoped the bill could become law next week to give farmers time to decide on plantings for this year. Under the law, if crop prices do not reach the minimum levels, the government makes up the difference. However, to win the freeze, Reagan had to agree to pay wheat farmers not to plant part of their acreage this year. And, he agreed that cotton, rice and corn farmers will have the same option next year if large surpluses are produced in 1984. Two convicted in barroom rape FALL RIVER, Mass. Two men were found guilty Thursday of aggravated rape in the case of a woman assaulted on a barroom pool table last year, but two co-defendants charged with . aiding them were acquitted. The convictions of John Cordeiro and Victor Raposo bring to four the total number of men, all of them Portuguese immigrants, convicted in the widely publicized trial. Virgilio Medeoros and Jose Medeiros were found not guilty in the assault which occurred March 6, 1 983, at Big Dan's Bar in nearby New Bedford. Peacekeeping force withdrawn LONDON Britain announced Thursday it was ending its limited peacekeeping role in Lebanon, bringing home its 1 15 troops follow ing the failure this week of a peace conference among the warring Lebanese factions. Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe said Bri tain had consulted the Lebanese government and had informed its partners in the multina tional force the United States, France and Italy of the decision. Israelis approve early elections JERUSALEM The Israeli parliament voted Thursday to dissolve itself and hold early general elections. The move was approved 61-58 inT;he 120 seat Knesset. It was introduced by members of the opposi tion labor alignment and Tami, a three-member partner in Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's righ-wing coalition. Collisions bound to increase' WASHINGTON - Collisions between U.S. and Soviet ships like the one off Japan this week are bound to increase as the two super powers continue to build up their fleets, de fense officials said Thursday. They noted bigger fleets require more ocean exercises, and since both sides shadow each other's ships during exercises, it makes more collisions or near-misses more likely. A Soviet submarine was shadowing the car-' rier Kitty Hawk when it collided with the U.S. vessel, the Pentagon said. The vessels suffered only minor damage, but some military analysts say the risk of serious damage or injuries to sailors is ever present when ships play cat-and-mouse. Soviets call to mobilize forces MANAGUA, Nicaragua The Soviet envoy to Nicaragua has said the Soviet people will help mobilize "other world forces" to defend the beleaguered nation from US. aggression. Guerman Shlapnikov reiterated his govern ment's charge that the United States was responsible for a mine blast that damaged a Soviet tanker and described as "just" Nicara guan calls on other countries for arms to defend itself. The Soviet people will make heard their voice, and will play a role in mobilizing other forces of the world to give Nicaragua the means to defend itself," Shlanipkov said.
