Saudi Arabia, which traditionally beheads murderers with one slash of a sword, prolonged the execution of the prince because of the enormity of the crime.

Official sources, reached by telephone from Beirut, said the executioner's sword slashed twice against the neck before a final blow severed the assassin's head. The crowd of thousands in front of the palace shouted "Allah Akhbar" (God is great) each time the gold-handled, silver sword descended through the air at one-minute intervals. At the end of the execution, which had been conducted according to the teachings of the Koran, the 27- year-old prince lay dead in his bloodspattered robe. Saudi Arabia accused the prince of gunning down Faisal March 25 during celebrations marking the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed. An official statement said he was trying to touch off "a war against Islam." Saudi Arabia's highest religious court, which judges cases by the precepts of Islam, tried the prince in' secret.

He was the first prince in Saudi Arabia's royal family to be executed. The religious court called the prince one of the "greatest comipters on earth" but said he acted alone in "combating God and his prophet." The prince, a dropout from the University of Colorado in Boulder and the University of California at Berkeley, had been arrested in the United States on drugs charges but freed through diplomatic intervention. Christine Surma, the prince's former American girlfriend, said Wednesday in West Hollywood, she's still convinced of his innocence. "I couldn't believe it, I really couldn't believe it," she said. "I don't feel that he was fairly tried.

I think it's one of the most unjust things to happen, but then, maybe that's the way it has always been throughout history."

The plan was disclosed by Gen.

William E. DePuy. who is head of training operations for the Army, during testimony before the House Subcommittee on Military Construction. Sen. Harrison A.

What will be the impact on recruiting and troop morale?" DePuy testified that $48 million would be required to renovate barracks at Fort Dix if it were retained and utilized as a basic training center. Infantry training is virtually the sole function of Fort Dix.

The legislators said it was their understanding that Fort Benning and Fort McClellan would require $225 million to renovate their facilities.
