He said the guerrillas and their leftist Lebanese allies "often return fire, but we are careful to hit the source of enemy fire only." Nabatiyeh during the reporters' tour. Only a dozen residents and three civilian cars were sighted at a main intersection. A woman entered her destroyed house to collect "whatever bits were intact" before returning to her temporary shelter in Sidon, a port city 15 miles west.

Lt. Hisham el-Sayyed, the guerrilla military police chief at Nabatiyeh, said of 57,000 inhabitants, only 6,000 Shmona in the second barrage. Palestinian sources in Beirut reported Israeli shelling of southern Lebanese villages, but the Israeli command refused comment on the report. Gen. Emmanuel Erskine, commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon had arranged the truce, Beirut radio reported, and at the United Nations in New York, spokesman Francois Giuliani said it was a verbal rather than a formal agreement.

It went took effect at noon, hours after shelling in the Palestinian camp of Rashidiyeh, 12 miles across the border, claimed three lives, the Palestine Liberation Organization said. Provincial authorities said up to 100 persons were killed in shelling Friday across a wide swath up to 28 miles into southern Lebanon. NABATIYEH, Lebanon (AP) -Premier Salim el Hoss announced on Saturday a U.N.-mediated cease-fire between Palestinian guerrillas and their Lebanese Christian and Israeli enemies, but within hours Israel and the guerrillas were shelling each other. The Israeli military command announced in Tel Aviv that the Palestinians fired two rocket barrages into northern Israel, wounding two persons. It said Israeli forces returned the fire after both barrages.

It was the first time since May 2i that the Katyushga rockets have been fired into Israel. The Tel Aviv command said there were no casualties from the rockets that caused slight damage on settlements in the Galilee panhandle, but two persons were wounded and a house was severely damaged in the town of Kiryat reporters: "I pray to Allah every day to bring down his curses on Jimmy Carter, (Egyptian President) Anwar Sadat and (Israeli Prime Minister) Men-achem Begin. My son met his martyrdom recently and I urged my husband to take a second wife so that we can multiply faster for the war of decision." Almost daily shelling, blamed on Israel and Haddad's men, has emptied the town, save for the elderly, who don't seem to care, and peasants clinging to their simple farms. Guerrilla information officers escorted Western reporters to stricken areas to show the extent of damage wreaked by shelling they characterized as an Israeli "war of terror." A few Palestinian guerrillas drove small trucks and Jeeps around Israel has steadfastly denied it was responsible lor the shelling, saying it was the work of its Lebanese Christian rightist allies, and denied it was a participant in the cease-fire. "United Nations representatives did ask us for help in trying to stop Maj.

Saad Haiidad from firing, but we were not involved in the cease-fire," an Israeli military spokesman said. There was no comment from Had-dad's forces on the cease-fire.

WCOV operates on 617,000 kilowatts from a 793-foot tower while WKAB operates with 1,120,000 kilowatts from a 762-foot tower.

An attorney for the ACLU filed the application with Rehnquist at 1:20 a.m. The Pardons Board continued in session to consider a separate commutation request with the board, which has power to commute the death sentence of the admitted killer to life in prison without possible parole. In the past, the board has not issued commutations while appeals were still pending.

"I'm not glad that the ACLU asked, because I have no respect for them," Bishop said in an interview after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco rejected efforts to stay the execution. He also said the 9th Circuit decision "went the way I felt it should have gone." Before the stay was handed down, Bishop had said that "possibly the biggest anxiety I have is the fact those fools are still allowed to run loose in the country running down a U.S. Supreme Court justice, trying to get a stay of execution and prolong what's inevitable."

One of the Americans who left the plane, Judi LeMond, of Indianapolis, said Miss Vlasova was friendly with the Americans on board and smiled and winked at them as she walked by. "One of the things that bothered me is that she had been under guard when she was talking to us Mrs. LeMond said. "I can only figure the young lady is undecided and really doesn't know at this point what she wants to do and can't convince the Americans she wants to return." Immigration officials spoke to Miss Vlasova several times aboard the plane, and she indicated her desire to return home despite her husband's defection.

"She said she loves him," Makeyev said Saturday night. "She wants him to come back with her to Moscow." Negotiations throughout the day between high-ranking U.S. and Soviet officials failed to produce an accord, though McHenry described the talks as "warm and friendly."

Most of the buildings near the compound had been levelled already. The few civilians remaining in Saqqez, including this correspondent, could see the fight from a vantage point overlooking the fringe of the garrison.

"The man wanted my son to sign some papers and my son said he would, but after be talked to the rest of the family, we decided not to do it," said Stella Blllard, grandmother of the slain man. The questions the Supreme Court wants answered include whether Bishop ever authorized public defenders to represent him at any level in any court proceeding and whether any court ever found him competent. Bishop said he still expects the Supreme Court to make the "same decision" as an appeals court in San Francisco and a federal district court in Las Vegas, both of which declined after hearings to stop his execution. The Pardons Board session, chaired by Gov. Bob List, was convened after the earlier court attempts at a stay were rejected.
