San Francisco Peninsula to launch fruit fly crackdown
Workers will sweep 770 miles of the San Francisco Peninsula Monday in a new fruit fly crackdown risking jail for gardeners who fail to strip trees. About 1 million residents have had lawns sprayed and face fruit searches, as eradication crews issue 48 hour notices to remove over 200 plant types to avoid misdemeanor charges. Project chief Jerry Scribner said cases will be referred to police or sheriff's offices after investigation.

Judge drops Indian claim in upstate New York land suit
U.S. District Judge Neal McCain dismissed a suit by the Oneida Indians seeking 5 million acres of upstate New York and rent payments. He ruled the Oneidas had no legal basis, saying New York law authorized purchase of the land under 1785 and 1788 treaties, affecting about 125,000 landowners. The tribe argued federal power under the Constitution and the Non-Intercourse Act.

Reagan shifts speech focus to tax plan over Social Security
President Reagan will forgo a broad Social Security discussion in a Monday address, concentrating on the tax-cut plan. He will also fly 14 Democratic congressmen to Camp David for a barbecue and lobbying push as House Democrats prepare to vote on the tax proposal.

Reagan Orders Reversal of Campaign Against Begin
An administration official says President Reagan personally reversed a harsh push to condemn Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The shift, aided by diplomat Philip Habib, moved U.S. policy toward seeking a cease-fire in southern Lebanon as Haig remained aligned with Reagan. The unnamed official notes Reagan’s genuine affection for Israel and doubts moderating Begin’s policy would win domestic support.
