Thursday, September 11, 1935 Page 2 Daily Nebraskan News By The Associated Press Israel rockets Palestinian depot SIDON, Lebanon Israeli warplanes attacked a Palestinian arms depot Wednesday, killing three civilians and destroying more than 90 shops in an industrial district on the edge of this port city. Shortly before the raid an Israeli gunboat intercepted a rubber dinghy carrying Palestinian guerrillas on a mission to attack Israel, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. Hospitals said 13 other civilians were injured in the air raid, which began just after 6 a.m. It was Israel's eighth air raid in Lebanon this year. The Israeli command in Tel Aviv said the pilots who carried out the Sidon raid reported accurate hits on a ware house used by the Popular Struggle Front to store weapons. But police and witnesses in Sidon said Israeli rockets missed the front's two ammunition depots. Another guerrilla group, the Pales tine Liberation Front, issued a com munique saying the raid came after four of its fighters tried to carry out a seaborne attack on the Israeli coastal town of Nahariya. Both the Palestinians and Israelis Tom LauderDaily Nebraskan said one of the four guerrillas was wounded during an exchange of gun fire at sea, and the Palestinians said he died later on shore. The Palestine Liberation Front said an Israeli gunboat intercepted the guerrillas' rubber dinghy off the south Lebanon town of Sarafand, about 25 miles north of Israel. In Tel Aviv, an Israeli military offi cial confirmed the infiltration attempt and shootout. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the air raid was in retaliation for the attemp ted guerrilla attack. Sidon police said the Israeli jets swooped in from the Mediterranean and struck three times at the ammuni tion depots and other Palestinian targets in the industrial district. Hospitals said two sisters, aged 32 and 40, and a 16-year-old boy were killed. All were civilians, the hosptials said. Sources in Sidon, southern Leban on's provincial capital 37 miles north of the Israeli border, estimated the dam age at more than $280,000. Power lines dangled across the rubble-strewn streets. Islamic Jihad strikes again in Beirut Top Lions Club official kidnapped BEIRUT, Lebanon The top official of the International Lions Club for Lebanon and Jordan was kidnapped Wednes day in Moslem west Beirut, one day after an American educator was abducted on his way to play golf. Police said three men armed with silencer-equipped pistols and riding in a wine-colored BMW intercepted Lions Club governor Victor Kenou at 9:35 a.m. near the French Embassy compound on Rue Clemenceau. Two of the assailants forced Kenou out of his white Mercedes-Benz at gunpoint and bundled him into their car, police said. Kenou, 50, heads the 39 International Lions Clubs in Lebanon and Jordan. A Syrian-born Christian, Kenou is a naturalized Lebanese citizen who runs a prosperous import export business in both the Moslem and Christian sectors of the Lebanese capital, according to police and family friends. His wife, Rose, who lives in west Beirut, told The Asso ciated Press by telephone, "Contacts are under way at the highest levels to win my husband's release. I am hopeful." The Lions Clubs are among few social institutions still operating despite Lebanon's 11-year-old civil war. Kenou's abduction, like the kidnapping of American educator Frank Herbert Reed on Tuesday, was an apparent challenge to Syria, which sent troops into west Beirut in July in an effort to restore order and end the deadly anarchy spawned by warring Moslem militias. Police said they have no clues to either man's where abouts. Reed, 53, director of the Lebanese International School in west Beirut, was the first American kidnapped in Lebanon in 15 months. A school associate said Reed has lived in Lebanon about eight years and converted to Islam. His wife, Fahima Dalati, was born in Syria. Syrian troops, who have been deployed in Lebanon for a decade, pulled out of west Beirut during the 1982 Israeli siege and did not return in force until this summer. n Drier 4 - Carrier returns' from Libyan ton NORFOLK, Va. The aircraft carrier America, accompanied by 10 escort ships, returned home today to a flag-waving crowd after six months at sea that included a role in the U.S. raids on Libya. The ships were bringing more than 9,000 men to home ports in Norfolk, Charleston, S.C., and Mayport, Fla. Aircraft from the America sank a Libyan guided missile patrol boat March 24 after the vessel threatened Navy forces and joined Air Force plane3 and aircraft from the carrier Coral Sea in an April 14 through 15 raid against terrorist training camps in Libya. The F-l 4s of Fighter Squadrons 102 and 33 also returned to Oceana. The radar planes of Airborne Early warning Squadron 133 landed at Norfolk Naval Air Station. Other aircraft flew to bases in Jacksonville, Fla., and Cherry Point, N.C. Besides joining Air Force planes and aircraft from the carrier Coral Sea in the April 14-15 raid, fliers from the America also sank a Libyan guidedmissile patrol boat March 24 after the vessel threatened Navy forces, authorities say. .

Jake Gam dieted Us left UL.rj Wednesday to daughter Susan Gam Heme in what doctors called "z.a extremely success ful" operation that left the senator proud and happy,'1 "The best of our expectations have been met and everyone is fine " said Dr. Baird Ilelfrich, who transplanted one. of Garn's kidneys into the senator's 27-year-old daughter in a nearly six-hour operation. Another surgeon, Dr. Ian Spence, removed Garn's left Kidney after a time-consuming incision which extended from the senator's back to his left rib in the front. In an adjacent operating room, Helfrich implanted the kidney into Mrs. Home, a diabetic who suffers from kidney failure. "He was proud and happy," Helfrich said of Garn, a physically fit 53-year-old who flew on the Discovery spaceship with a crew of NASA astronauts in April 1985. "I am very happy and proud to be the donor," the Utah Republican had said as he entered Georgetown University Hospital. "Her mother carried her for nine months and I am honored togive her part of me." ' Garn's operation, called a nephrectomy, was needed because his daughter, Susan Rhae Garn Home, has suffered since childhood with diabetes. ' Garn's doctors said the senator likely would be kept in the hospital for at least a week, could drive a car and resume his campaign for re-election in three to four weeks, and even go jogging within a month.

"Drug traffickers beware, this Con gress means business," Rep. Jimmy Quillen, R-Tenn. said. O'Neill said that at a White House meeting Tuesday, attended by Presi dent Reagan, budget chief James Miller III said $250 million would be available for a new drug initiative. The speaker said he later received a call from the White House, in which he was told the figure cited by Miller, director of the Office of Management and Budget, was too low. The Congressional Budget Office re ported Tuesday the bill could cost some $6 billion through 1991 if all pro grams are fully financed and all new enforcement personnel hired are re tained. However, since the measure only authorizes spending levels, it does not guarantee that Congress will approp riate all the money.

The speaker said he would be w illing to break out of the Gramm-Rudman balanced budget guidelines or even raise taxes to finance the drug program. And Rep. Charles B. Rangel, chair man of the House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control, said the public recognizes that additional taxes may be necessary. Some of the bill's major provisions would: O Increase penalties for violators and establish a 20-year-to-life sentence for trafficking and manufacturing which results in serious injury or death. Provide money for new drug en forcement agents, prison construction and grants to local police. O Increase the Coast Guard author ization for more personnel and equip- raent for seaborne interception of drugs; f Mk simiffjly beef up the Customs Ser f Mie. fiaM&ling its air interdiction program.
