The Sunday Times quotes Sergeant Graham Ren- THE MINISTRY of Defence was last night accused of mounting a 'dirty tricks' campaign against wounded Tumbledown hero Robert Lawrence, the Scots Guards officer shunned by the military establishment, after telling his Falklands story. His father, Wing Commander John Lawrence, who co-authored the controversial book 'When The Fighting Is Over1, said MoD officials were working behind the scenes to discredit the truth of his shocking account of the war and the way the wounded were forgotten, which pro-: vides the basis for the BBC drama, by PAUL BOUTLEPGE nie, who was the first to reach Lawrence after he was shot, as saying the book mentions things that he could not possibly have seen'. The Sunday Telegraph; quotes Brigadier Mike Scott, who commanded the Scots Guards on the Tumbledown assault, as saying Lawrence 'appears to have forgotten or overlooked the amount of care and attention he was-given by the battalion in the early days after his wounding'.

Much still depends on how this recog-. nition is translated into practical reality for the Hizbollah fighters, who have wrested control of the suburbs from Syria's own proxy, the Amal movement. Until late yesterday' there were widely differing interpretations of how much freedom of manoeuvre Syria would permit Hizbollah, once its own soldiers were fully deployed. Some Hizbollah fighters said yesterday that they understood they would still be permitted to carry arms, contrary to what Syria says.

Hizbollah's strongest negotiating card is their control over the lives and freedom of the 18 Western hostages, including the missing Britons, whom Syrian intelligence sources believe are in the suburbs, probably in one of the breeze-block structures, close to Hizbollah headquarters in Hay Amadi. Among the other hostages who might be released after Syrian intervention are academics from Beirut University College kidnapped early last year by gunmen disguised as policemen.

The Americans, who have been independently in touch with Damascus," feel a sense of moral obligation towards Mr Waite. When he set out for Beirut a year ago. last January, against the advice of the Foreign Office, his mission was to try to secure the freedom of two or three Americans, including Mr Terry Anderson, kidnapped earlier in Beirut. Somewhere along the way, however, his negotiations with the kidnappers collapsed, perhaps because they thought Mr Waite was working in close collusion with the.

US Government and could not be trusted. Late in the evening Mr Waite disappeared, from his hotel for a rendezvous with the kidnappers. He has not. been seen or heard from since, although reports continue to come in of sightings of him in Beirut, the Bekaa Val-. ley, and even in north Lebanon.

The kidjwppers have almost certainly kept him on the move to avoid defection, but southern Beirut is now the safest hideout because of the Syrian military saw a 'tall, large' man in a room next to his own. The sighting of this man, believed to be Mr Waite, a year ago last February has renewed hope that two other British hostages, Mr John McCarthy and Mr Brian Keenan, are also in the hands Of Hizbollah fanatics who rule in south Beirut.

II THE SOVIET Union's top parliamentary body, the Supreme Soviet, yesterday voted unanimously to ratify the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty signed at the Washington, summit, last December. The vote removed the last obstacle to the treaty, now expected to come into force with the exchange of instruments of ratification at the Moscow sum--mit, which begins today. The US Senate voted 93 to five in favour of ratifying the treaty on Friday. The Supreme Soviet vote was hardly a surprise it has never turned down a treaty negotiated by the Kremlin and last week a joint commission of both houses of the parliament recommended approval. President Reagan, flighted at the Senate's sweeping vote, has invited the Majority, and Minority leaders, Senators Robert Byrd and Robert Dole, to join him at the summit.

The exchange of instruments of ratification on Wednesday is likely to be the summit's high spot. The treaty is the first ever to eliminate an entire class of nuclear missiles. Continuing his pre-summit emphasis on human rights, Reagan last night appeared on Soviet TV in a pre-recorded interview during which he said that he would like to see more religious freedom in the Soviet Union. The interview was good-humoured, only threatening to acquire a sharper tone when the two interviewers, Valentin Zorin and Boris Kalyagin, challenged icq ifflnpai i amnpiianiniiimi lutrani i iiittl tfdlflo nnpiLi inqi mw DMiidt ipfrin nitn utir umonimti diMuii i laan 1 1 lsts nao oeen unable pa nnd a single quotation in Lenin's works that even approximated to the words Reagan had attributed to him.

The two leaders are due to have four sessions of talks, and Reagan will also visit the Danilov Monastery and hold a meeting at the American Ambassadors residence with a group of dissidents and Jews who have been refused exit visas. Mrs Reagan will have a tour of the Kremlin this afternoon with Mrs Raisa Gorbachov while their husbands are having their first meeting. But the two ladies, who do not get on well, will spend as much time apart as together during the summit, which ends on Thursday. For a visit to Leningrad on Tuesday, Mrs Reagan will have a different companion Mrs Andrei Gro-myko, wife of the Soviet President. Gorbachov stakes all, page 23 6ta Mouse ot fraser.

They struck on May Day, smashing cubicles and ripping down fencing crucial to academic modesty. Police say access was easily gained by walking under cover of darkness across the sea of buttercups in verdant Angel Meadow.

Male dons have been palely loitering at Parson's Pleasure for over a century. A spot called Dame's Delight, further along the river, is supposed to exist for female members of the university to disport themselves naked. Segregation was a strict convention at Parson's Pleasure. Passing women were required to disembark from their punts and push them round the back over an elaborate system of rollers. Recently, however, there have even been reports of mixed skinny-dipping.

Parson's Pleasure is now in jeopardy. The university complains that it is simply too broke to 'make repairs. Address: OS SECRETARIAL 48 HOMES GARDENS 49 Postcode: PROPERTY 50-51 PIease return to: Greenpeace. FREEP0ST. 30-31 Islington Green.
