National World Report Battle Creek Enquirer, Oct. 22, 1983 A-3 cftBmis ft inni The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon Despite scattered gunbattles, Lebanon's warring factions agreed Friday to hold their long-delayed "national reconciliation conference" in Geneva. But no date has been set for the meeting. The fighting flared between Moslem snipers and Lebanese soldiers in southern Beirut, between Druse militiamen and Lebanese troops holding Souk el-Gharb southeast of the capital, and Christian and Druse gunners in the Kharroub region above Israel's defense line along the Awali River in southern Lebanon. State television, which reported the battles, gave no casualty figures.

Rafik Hariri, the Saudi mediator who had been trying to arrange a site for the "national reconciliation conference," told reporters that all eight Moslem and Christian leaders invited to the meeting agreed on Geneva. "All parties are in agreement," Hariri said. "Everyone likes it. They believe it is a good place to meet." He said that only the problem over the date remained before the meeting could be held. "It has nothing to do with any real problem for the national dialogue," he said.

The privately owned Central News Agency quoted informed Lebanese government sources as saying the meeting had been set for Nov. 1, but that there were still problems over which building to use because hotels are crowded in Geneva. Swiss government spokesman Clemens Birrer, in announcing acceptance of Lebanon's request to host the meeting, noted that all hotels in Geneva and for miles around were booked because of a telecommunications conference scheduled next week. Some 14 sites had been suggested for the reconciliation meeting, but none until Geneva was accept- able to all sides. After two weeks of bickering over a choice, President Amin Gemayel announced the meeting would open Thursday at Beirut airport.

Gemayel's administration canceled that meeting after Druse leader Walid Jumblatt and his partners in the anti-Gemayel "National Salvation Front" turned down the airport on grounds it was unsafe. The conference is to discuss getting foreign troops out of Lebanon and reforming the political system that Maronite Catholics have dominated under the country's unwritten constitution since Lebanon's in-dependance from France in 1943. 4 GFS) iomi (S01)Wffl yj AT, mm.

President Reagan, in a letter to former New Hampshire Gov.

Meldrim Thomson, said he thinks Martin Luther King's popularity is based on image, not reality, and has reservations about whether King is worthy of a national holiday, the White House confirmed Friday. Thomson, a conservative Republican, revealed Reagan's comments and said they came in response to a Sept. 30 letter he sent urging the president not to sign the bill honoring King, whom Thomson called a man "of immoral character whose frequent association with leading agents of communism is well-established."

"I said 'Please don't kill me, but could I and he said I could go." Monterey police Sgt. Robert Yingling said officers arrested Schenk, who had been living in his van. Schenk, who authorities said was from Whittier, had no known police record, according to The Associated Press MONTEREY, Calif.

In Bonn, anti-missile protesters failed to block entrances to two government ministries as hel-meted riot police dragged 2,000 demonstrators away. "I will not let my employees be locked out," said Defense Minister Manfred Woerner. The mass protests are aimed at a planned NATO deployment of new U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe starting in December. But police standing behind a fence at the entrance to Wiley Barracks in Neu Ulm only appealed to demonstrators sitting on the driveway to stay off a busy highway.

The protesters made no move to block two other gates to Wiley Barracks, so military personnel and their familes were able to come and go without difficulty. There was no violence at either demonstration. The Neu Ulm base is one of three U.S. Pershing 1 missile sites in southern Germany. Demonstrators said they intended to blockade the front gate through today, when West Germany's anti-missile movement plans to set up a human chain of 120,000 people stretching 60 miles from Neu Ulm to Stuttgart.

Everest from Tibetan side KATMANDU, Nepal Three Americans have conquered Mount Everest from the Tibetan side, the first Westerners to do so, a Japanese mountaineer reported Friday. Almost all Everest climbers approach the peak, the world's highest, from the Nepalese side.

The names of the climbers who made it to the top were not available. Meanwhile, another group of Americans scaling Mount Everest from the Nepalese side abandoned its expedition because of high winds.
