A French officer died and three soldiers were wounded. Marines at Beirut airport came under fire with no casualties reported. A car bomb near Moslem west Beirut killed five and wounded 33.

Ethics panel: township supervisors did not violate code
The State Ethics Commission ruled Union Township supervisors Joseph Gierlach and Charles Cumberledge did not violate the ethics code by voting on a decision that granted their daughters job tenure and raises. They were ordered to abstain from further decisions affecting their daughters, who are employees: Susan Currie, secretary-treasurer at 14000 annually, since 1974, and Roberta Covelli, clerk-typist since 1978 at 11500 yearly. An audit in 1981 noted high salaries and suggested consolidating secretarial work.
