Christians Expect War To Continue In Lebanon
In Beirut Christian leaders vowed to block Arab League peacekeepers from Christian zones and predicted the civil war would persist. They pressed for Lebanese government control over Palestinian guerrillas and vowed to eject the guerrillas from southern Lebanon, clashing with Syrian troops and amid factions resisting the Cairo peace plan. The Arab League endorsed the plan but split on Syrian troop inclusion, while a Saudi Sudanese peacekeeping contingent faced shelling at Beirut airport with casualties reported elsewhere. In Milwaukee, Sen. Proxmire endorsed a 7.5 percent federal housing loan program to ease the housing shortage and reduce unemployment, arguing it would boost construction and overall employment.
