(UPI) -President Reagan gave a colorful Yankee Doodle welcome to the leaders of America's economic allies Saturday, and a senior U.S. official predicted a cordial summit because "no one has come to pick a fight." In a three-hour ceremony at quaint, restored Colonial Williamsburg, Reagan greeted the leaders individually with bands, fife-and-drum corps, cannon salute and smiles and handshakes. He hosted a dinner at Carter's Grove attended only by the leaders for a discussion of political issues. The leaders posed for their first formal portait, with the famed New Orleans Preservation Hall band playing Dixieland music and the unmistakable odor of hickory barbeque wafting across the historic plantation. The first formal summit session was set for Sunday morning.

Before the dinner, Reagan met separately with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President Francois Mitterrand. Afterward, a senior U.S. official who requested anonymity said the meetings were cordial. comed the leaders of France, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, West Germany and Japan at precise half-hour intervals in an assembly line of colorful hospitality. One unplanned sour note came when the U.S.

Army Band played The Warship March for the arrival of Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. The music, selected by the Americans, has emotional, militaristic overtones in Japan. Flamboyant Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau added his usual dash of color to the otherwise formal arrivals. Trudeau wore a white, wide-brimmed straw hat which he waved generously for photographers. As he stepped from his horse-drawn carriage, a big, bright red rose was on his lapel turned upside down.

Noticing, he quickly righted it. Reagan, hosting what officially is called the Summit of the Industrialized Nations, sounded a note of optimism, saying "important progress" has been made since last year's summit in Versailles ended in rancor over East-West trade and monetary policy.

"But we are not afraid and we will not bow," Kasm said in a speech.at the inaugural session in Damascus of a nationwide conference of Syrian mayors.

"Our armor has developed in quality and quantity and so has our morale." He said he was "certain the Soviet Union supports us with all its means and we are also sure that the vast resources of the Arab world will be on our side" in case of a new war. There were no firm estimates of the number of Israeli and Syrian troops in Lebanon, but both sides have been reinforcing their troops for several days. Last week, there were about 40,000 Syrians arid 28,000 Israelis in Lebanon. Associated Press correspondent Terry A. Anderson saw truckloads of Syrian troops headed toward the Syrian border in the Bekaa, and AP correspondent Scheherezade Faramarzi reported from the Israeli side of the line that the Israeli army was moving up men and equipment.

Military sources in the Israeli-backed militia of Maj. Saad Haddad said about 500 Israeli tanks, armored personnel carriers, buses and ammunition trucks crossed 'the border into Lebanon on Friday and Saturday. In Tel Aviv, the state radio said Israel was increasing its security along major roads in eastern Lebanon because of an increase in attempted sabotage attacks in recent days. Timps photoPAUL S. HOWELL BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Israel poured more troops and tanks into Lebanon on Saturday and warned Syria it was strong enough to take control in the event of war.

Syria pulled back from the cease-fire line, but proclaimed it would not bow to "warlike threats." A military communique issued in Damascus, the Syrian capital, announced that the military maneuvers inside Syria that prompted Israeli troops to go on alert "ended with success" Saturday. It said the Syrian armed forces had returned to "normal status."

"They have come to share ideas to develop a greater sense of momentum and to solve the problems of the free world." "No one has come to pick a fight. Quite the contrary." Even before the first formal session, what many had thought might be a divisive issue between the United States and France apparently was defused. Advance reports had indicated French President Francois Mitterrand would demand an international conference on the world monetary change rates, and the United States would oppose the idea. But, from accounts of senior officials in both governments, it was clear the positions of Mitterrand and Reagan were very close both believe the subject is too complex to be handled without lengthy preliminary study. In the choreographed ceremonial opening to the meeting, Reagan wel Times photoGARY WALKER Salt Lake City streets like rivers, 8-A prison were higher than the levee, but the sandbags Saturday were holding the water.

Warden Ross Maggio said some water crept late Friday into low-lying agricultural areas, but none swept past the main prison levee. He said if an evacuation was necessary, the prisoners would be moved to several sites, which he did not disclose for security reasons. State Police Commander Grover Garrison said the farthest the inmates would be moved would be a four-hour drive from the prison. "We've practiced this in training drills," Garrison said. "If they have to evacuate, all we have to do is put out the word to report to Angola.

The readiness is excellent and it can be pulled off without a hitch." Garrison said prison guards on horseback have patrolled the levees day and night for about a week and inmates have sandbagged trouble spots. A prison spokeswoman said the penitentiary had never been evacuated before. At Baton Rouge, about 400 yards of sandbags were placed on the Mississippi Riveievee downtown.

The Israeli military command issued a communique in Tel Aviv reporting an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian guerrilla were killed and two Israeli soldiers were wounded in a clash Friday afternoon in the Bekaa Valley.

The announcement, apparently held until relatives of the Israeli victims had been notified, said the soldiers were on patrol in Israeli-held territory along the cease-fire line with Syria when Palestinian guerrillas ambushed them, firing anti-tank rockets and rifles. It said that when the soldiers returned the fire the guerrillas fled into Syrian-held territory. was hitchhiking when she was murdered. Her body was left in a wooded area near the Ada-Taylor entrance ramp in Bienville Parish. Authorities were alerted to the body by an anonymous caller.

Police said the caller placed a second telephone call to police when authorities at first failed to locate the body. The Bienville Parish sheriff's office, which is investigating the death, had no suspects last night. Norris said the teen-ager was a known hitchhiker. She lived with her grandparents but recently had visited her mother in Alaska by hitchhiking. She was last seen by relatives in Houston at Easter, when she visited her father.

The body of a young white woman found May 19 in Bienville Parish off Interstate 20 was identified Saturday as an Avinger, Texas, teen-ager, an official with the Bossier Parish coroner's office said. Don Norris. an assistant to forensic pathologist Dr. George McCormick, identified the victim as Jenelle Marie Gridley, 17. The body was identified after the teen-ager's grandparents saw a Shreveport television newscast Friday.

The broadcast featured a facial photograph of the body, Norris said. The young woman died of internal injuries, apparently from a beating, an autopsy showed.

Officials moved the hospitalized prisoners at Angola Prison, which houses 4,000 convicts, to other medical facilities as a precaution in case the entire prison had to be evacuated. National Weather Service forecasters expected the Mississippi to crest Monday or Tuesday at 60.6 feet.

"We feel that things are well under control at this time," corrections secretary John King'said. "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and office of public works' engineers are at Angola assisting us in this effort." The levee, strengthened by sandbags, was expected to protect the prison as long as the river did not rise above the predicted crest, officials said. Flood stage, determined without considering the levee height, is 48 feet. A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said sandbagging was expected to raise the protection level to between 61 and 64 feet.
