No firm word on cease-fire in Lebanon
Palestinian guerrillas and Moslem private armies took over most of Lebanon as violence surged. The Egyptian Middle East News Agency reported talks toward a cease-fire with Moslem and Christian factions to share power, while Damascus gave no confirmation. The Christian president Suleiman Franjieh reportedly accepted the proposals, but Interior Minister Camille Chamoun opposed the accord. Western Beirut endured heavy blasts and gunfire as Moslem and Palestinian fighters moved to gain control of coastal areas north of Beirut.
