Palestinian leaders ordered guerrillas on maximum war alert along the Lebanese Israeli border amid claims of impending land and sea invasion. Fighting along a 30 mile coastal stretch drew in guerrillas and Christian forces with artillery duels north of the frontier. UN observers withdrew from border outposts as casualties were reported and claims of civilians killed or buried in rubble arose. Israel did not immediately comment.

Defense argues prospective jurors are prejudiced by pre trial publicity as jury selection starts in the Macumber case. Judge Corcoran says public coverage not unusual, will pick 16 impartial jurors.
