20 Section 1 Chicago Tribune, Sunday, March 26, 1989 Nationworld Christian commander in Beirut says Syrians tried to kill him head of the legitimate government," Aoun has lead a Christian Cabinet since September, when President Amin Gemayel's term expired, and Parliament was unable to elect a successor. A rival Moslem Cabinet, led by Salim Hoss, has the support of Syria and its 40,000 srldiers in Lebanon. Aoun charged that Syria's first attempt to kill him came March 14 when gunners blasted his military headquarters near Baabda. At least one civilian was killed and another was wounded in the Baabda attack Saturday, police said. The two-story hilltop palace sustained extensive damage but Aoun and aides were uninjured, his communique said.

At least five people were killed and 30 wounded when artillery barrages resumed in Beirut late Saturday, police reported. The new casualties raised the toll to 92 killed and 314 wounded since ter?" cried Zeina Touk, a Christian housewife reached by telephone at the shelter of her apartment building in East Beirut. "The area looked like a fireball," said another resident of East Beirut. Aoun had vowed Friday to force Syrian troops out of Lebanon. They were first sent to the country in 1976 by the Arab League to end the civil war and have since become the country's chief power.

From Chicago Tribune wires BEIRUT The Christian army commander accused Syrian gunners of trying to assassinate him by shelling the presidential palace Saturday. Meanwhile, police said artillery duels left 11 people dead and 61 wounded, all civilians. A communique from Gea Michel Aoun's command said the palace in suburban Baabda came under a sustained barrage of rockets "in a second attempt to assassinate the March 8. That was the day the latest round in Lebanon's 14-year-old civil war erupted over Aoun's attempt to extend his authority by blockading militia-run ports outside his Christian enclave. During the day Saturday, Aoun's 20,000 predominantly Christian troops and an alliance of Syrian regulars and Druse militiamen fought sporadic artillery duels around Beirut.

Tens of thousands of panicky residents scurried back to basements and bomb shelters for a third straight night as deafening blasts resounded across the capital. Black smoke billowed from Christian East Beirut and nearby towns after high-explosive shells set fire to shops, factories and vehicles. Shells also hit Moslem suburbs of West Beirut and at least IS Druse towns and villages in the mountains southeast of the city.

The body was patched up several times, once with wax, to make it presentable for tourists again. It was returned to Crystal Cave in a coffin with a glass cover under a metal lid that could be lifted for viewing. Collins lay there from 1927 to 1961, when the National Park Service bought the cave and closed it to tourists. The Collins family had sued the federal government to release the body, and park service officials said they agreed in 1960, but local opposition slowed it down until now. "You always paid your respects to Floyd when you did work down there, and invited him to go along.

He was a kindred spirit," said caver Dan Raque, who often passed the coffin as he explored and mapped caves for the park service. Leona Ashe of Niles, Collins half-sister and his nearest surviving relative, was standing at the graveside. "I think it's as it should be," she said. Another family member, Mary 2Lou Carney of Chesterton, said: "There is a real sense of relief 3aow. It's been a nightmare for three generations the way he has been -treated." Many people in this area of south-central Kentucky feel a kinship with Collins.

"It's sort of like a folk story," said Sandra Cassady. The reason he has lived in memory, she added, is that "the poor man was never put to rest It's good to see it, after all these years." i Mn r-i rs. i 11 iiii no UuSLAJUU N. i CERTIFIED "1 lj Saf esex Continued from page 19 of Oakland, which includes Berkeley, said the DroDosed condom law has not vet been a matter of concern for the church.
