But the troops encountered surprising resistance from the Lebanese army, which usually stands aside while Israel tries to wipe out guerrilla operations. The Israeli forces, goaded by the Munich massacre and two recent attacks on the Lebanese border, were still inside the neighboring country at nightfall after 13 hours of fighting.

THE ISRAELI command announced that the ground force had "purged all its objectives except Kafar Goa. Purging this village of terrorists is continuing." Kafar Goa is eight, miles inside Lebanon. Officials at Beirut said the Israelis appeared on the verge of closing a pincer movement that would give them control of 130 square miles of territory in the nation half the size of Massachusetts. "The Lebanese army Is doing its utmost to defend the homeland," declared Prime Minister Saeb who ordered his soldiers to resist the advance. Battle lines have been drawn for a heated fight over a proposal to use thousands of acres of Northwestern Indiana farmland as a "storage and treatment" area for countless tons of sewage and industrial waste from Illinois and Wisconsin.

The proposal, among alternative suggestions being formulated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for long-range wastewater treatment, would penalize Indiana farmers and taxpayers for pollution problems not of their making, critics charge. IT RAISES serious and mainly unanswered questions about the impact in terms of economics, ecology and displacement of farmers. More than 500 Hoosiers turned out Thursday night at Hammond for a public hearing on the plan, known as (AP Wiraphoto) (AP Wirepholo) LINE OF ISRAELI TANKS HEADS TOWARD LEBANON YESTERDAY Ground Assault On Palestinians Combined With Air Attacks Nuclear Weapon Use Ban Urged By Russia Found Guilty In Slaying Of Deputy 0 15 A 1 BEIRUT MILES C-SELM, for Chicago-Southern End of Lake Michigan. Most appeared to be against the plan. Illinois residents will get an opportunity to voice their opinions at a hearing to be held at 7 p.m.

tomorrow in Thorn Hall of Northwestern University, 740 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago. Whatever the outcome of the hearings, the fight eventually will end up in Congress, which ordered the study last year. OFFICIALS who have been watching the C-SELM study say it is too early to predict whether C-SELM could lead to a confrontation in Congress between Illinois and Wisconsin against Indiana. They noted that the six Indiana counties which could be affected by C-SELM Newton, Benton, Jasper, White, Pulaski and Starke largely are Republican territory and are in the district of Republican Congressman Earl F. Landgrebe.

Landgrebe is opposing C-SELM, as are Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb and Lieutenant-Governor Richard E. Folz, both Republicans, and House Speaker Otis R. Bowen, of Bremen, Republican candidate for Governor. BOWEN DISCLOSED that a preliminary study of the proposal by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency is "strongly opposed to the plan." The study is expected to be released tomorrow.

But Whitcomb warned that if the proposal wins congressional approval, Indiana could be forced to take part under threat of a cutoff of Federal funds to the state. The controversy and political implications partly are due to uncertainty over what the project actually would do. THE CHICAGO District of the Army Corps of Engineers, which is co-ordinating the study, points out that C-SELM is a long-range plan involving a number of options, and final decisions are a long way off. The immediate and long-range purpose, says the corps, is preservation and making the best use ol available water resources, particularly the water supply of the entire southern rim of Lake Michigan.

The proposal was placed as a new item on the provisional agenda of the 27th session of the United Nations General Assembly. It also includes a general repudiation of the use of force in the relations between states. EXPLAINING the Soviet initiative, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy-ko emphasized that in particular West Germany's recent agreements with the Soviet Union and with Poland had been particularly favorable developments toward a state of European and international security. In a special memorandum, Gromy-ko also pointed to the agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States on the limitation of strategic weapons as well as other international agreements limiting the arms race.

THE ITEM IS in line with the Intention of the Soviet Union to place strong emphasis in the assembly on various disarmament issues, including its proposal for a world disarmament conference. In his memorandum, the Soviet foreign minister pointed to the current trend toward reduced international tension and peaceful coexistence. "Particularly striking," he said, "are the favorable developments along these lines on the European continent. The well-known agreements between the USSR and the Federal Republic of (West) Germany and between the Polish People's Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany have laid down within the framework of international law an obligation of states to refrain from the threat or use of force both in their mutual relations and in questions involving security in Europe and international security." Gromyko said such agreements "contribute to lessening the danger of an outbreak of war involving the use of nuclear weapons KISSINGER REPORTS ON PROGRESS Sa.vs Nothing On N.

Vietnam Talks Washington (UPI Henry A. Kissinger, fresh from a week of talks in Europe and Moscow, reported "very major progress" yesterday toward opening a new era in Soviet-American trade, but he rejected the Viet Cong's latest Vietnam peace proposals. President Nixon's chief foreign policy adviser indicated he discussed1 Viet Cong plan in Paris Friday with Le Due Tho, North Vietnam's special envoy, at their 17th secret meeting. He offered no details. But Kissinger told reporters at the White House, where he briefed Mr.

Nixon twice since his return late Friday night, that the proposal for' a three-part provisional government in Saigon "leaves something to be desired." THAT SOMETHING, he made clear, is assurance that a Communist government will not be imposed on South Vietnam as part of any political settlement. Kissinger said his discussions with Soviet leaders, though marked by "extraordinary hospitality," yielded no movement on Vietnam. "The solution is being sought in Paris," he said. On trade, Kissinger said there was quickening momentum toward final agreement on long-term, multibillion-dollar trade with the Soviet Union, to be negotiated before the end of the year although probably not in time to submit necessary legislation to Congress before it adjourns. He said three Soviet delegations would arrive in Washington next week to wrap up details on trade, shipping arrangements and settlement of Russia's World War II debts.

KISSINGER arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, from Paris at close to midnight Friday and went immediately to the White House to brief the President for 45 minutes.

A jury of nine men and three women deliberated only two hours yesterday before finding two Indianapolis cousins guilty on two counts each of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a Marion County sheriff's deputy.

William Adams, 46, and Billy Ray Adams, 26, were convicted of the murder of Deputy Floyd T. Settles during a Cumberland bank robbery Feb. 24. The jury which went into deliberation at 3:30 p.m. and returned the verdict just after 5:30 p.m., recommended life imprisonment for both men.

Attorney Ferdinand Samper, who handled the defense for Billy Ray Adams, said he would file an appeal to "correct errors in procedure." SAMPER SAID a key point of the appeal would revolve around an incident that took place before the final arguments began yesterday in Allen Circuit Court.

He is a former director of the Opinion Reporting Workshop at Columbia University and Is the author or several books, the latest of which is "The Crisis in American AUTOS WOULD BE TABOO, TOO By SAMUEL LUBELL Churning away behind the Nixon landslide building up across the country is at least one remarkable feat of psychological warfare. None of the presidential elections I have covered since 1952 has generated such intense voter resentments, and over so total a range of discontents, from the war and rising prices, to welfare, taxes, school busing, job and retirement fears.

However, Mr. Nixon, instead of becoming the target for these wraths as usually befalls a President in office has managed to turn these voter angers against the Democrats with crushing political effect. Want Trailer Ban In Parks The Wealher Washington (AP) President Nixon's net worth stands at $765,118, an increase of $168,218 since he took office, the White House said yesterday. His re-election runningmate, Vice-President T. Agnew, has a net worth of $198,250, an increase of $87,166 during the last four years, Ag-new's office said in a statement released at the same time.

THE DOUBLE-BARRELED financial disclosures came as the Nixon-Agnew ticket prepared to begin a push for re-election. Mr. Nixon's Democratic opponent, Senator George McGovcrn, disclosed his net worth months ago. McGovcrn, at a news conference In Miami last January, said his net worth at the end of 1971 was $271,600. His 1971 income, he said, totaled $89,100, including his $12,500 congressional salary and $38,200 in writing and speaking royalties.

Mr. Nixon's net worth statement, prepared by White House counsel John Deane, said his assets "consist only of cash, savings bonds, life insurance, property and real estate." "LIABILITIES consist almost entirely of mortgages on real estate" in California and Florida, the statement added. The brief statement also said: "With the exception of small sums of interest paid on his savings accounts, the President's total income is derived from a yearly salary of Turn to page 8, Column 1 Washington (UPI) A report on the future of the national parks recommended yesterday that trailers and camper trucks be banned from the parks, that automobile use be phased out and that camping be restricted to rustic areas under primitive conditions. In addition, the report said, efforts should be made to get more Negro persons and poor people generally to use the parks. It suggested all road building be halted immediately and that, overall, the preserves be returned to their natural state, without golf courses, cocktail lounges or drug stores to spoil the scenery.

In doing so the President actually may be on his way to establishing a "new Republican majority," but it hardly will be the quiet, contented majority that was seen on TV at the Miami Beach convention. My interviews in 19 states with former supporters of Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace indicate that many of the voters who are shifting to Mr. Nixon will be bringing with them at least two fierce drives: To halt government pressures on behalf of Negroes, even to the extent of pushing some racial issues such as busing and job preferences out of effective national politics. To assert a new competitive sense of individualism that would press one's self-interest to the limit. HOW HE CAN tame these two Turn to Page 8, Column 1 ers and others who are able to spend the time and have the inclination to camp in the wilderness." THE REPORT said the park service should reassert its original mission "the preservation and interpretation of natural landscapes and ecosystems" and added, "the American public and its political leaders must reject the notion that the parks can be all things to all people." Among the report's majo recommendations: "We do not believe the park service is obliged to provide camp sites equipped with electric outlets, running water or toilet hook-ups.

Moreoever, completely modern homes on wheels are contrary to the park ethic and those who wish to use them should be asked to leave them at the park boundary and visit the park on its terms rather than theirs." 1N-PARK automobile use should be phased out by "an immediate morato- Joe Crow Says: If the new idea for various colors for currency Is adopted, we'll really have funny money In the U.S. THE 254-PAGE report was issued by the respected Conservation Foundation, a non-profit research organization which undertook a year-long study of the 30 million acres of national parks. The study was contracted by the National Park Service and the National Parks Centennial Commission the organization co-ordinating this year's 100th anniversary of the parks. Interior Secretary Rogers C. B.

Morton said he was disturbed about the report because it seemed to be suggesting the exclusive mission of the park service should be "one of setting aside and conserving and protecting the wilderness." "The park service has grown up with a much broader mission concept than that," he said. "The concern I have about the report is this (that) we're going to begin to discriminate against the elderly, the traveling families who have only a very limited time and modest budgets to visit the parks, and probably narrow the constituency of the parks to ojfty those such as back pack Today9 Prayer We would remember, Dear God, that good deeds count more than good Intentions.
