Haig moved out July 5, leaving the State Department in the hands of a deputy in a period of burgeoning turmoil in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East. Undergoing his fourth confirmation hearing, Shultz had disarmed critics with a combination of tough talk and easygoing demeanor. "I am a quiet type of person." he said, "but I do believe in saying what I think, even if I don't shout it." But aside from the notable difference in style from the often-prickly Haig, Shultz indicated no sharp shift in direction for U.S.

foreign policy, despite his conciliatory rhetoric about Moscow, the Arab states, and particularly the problems of Palestinians. The Senate vote followed a mild debate which focused on Shultz' connection with the Bechtel Group a worldwide engineering firm with large contracts in the Arab world. Shultz is resigning as president of the San Francisco-based company. "I have grave doubts whether any individual who has been president of a company that has been so heavily dependent on Arab business should head up the State Department." said Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio.

a strong supporter of Israel. But then Metzenbaum said he was voting for the nomination, because "It may well be that George Shultz will be better able to achieve a Middle East peace than anyone else could precisely becase of the relationships he has es tablished as president of Bechtel." Sen. Larry Pressler, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, also said he was voting for the nomination "reluctantly" because of the Bechtel tie. On the other hand Charles H. Percy.

chairman of the committee, said. "I can't possibly see any conflict here." The committee wound up its questioning of Shultz on Wednesday and recommended him, 17-0, to the full Senate. Percy wanted the chamber to act the same day, but Democrat William Proxmire of Wisconsin objected to that unusual parliamentary step, which would have required unanimous consent. Shultz had called for "a strategy of confidence" in dealing with the Soviet Union, saying the United States should not seek confrontation but should make clear its disapproval of Soviet bullying tactics. Sen.

Paul Tsongas. one of the most liberal members of the committee, said he was "enthusiastic" about the nominee's "thoughtful and pragmatic" approach to issues. Tsongas voted against Shultz' predecessor, Haig. although he said he later came to admire Haig as a voice of moderation in the Reagan administration. Haig resigned June 25.

saying without explanation that administration foreign policy had lost "consistency, clarity and steadiness of purpose." 'His articulate and convincing presen tation sent a strong signal to friend and foe alike America is blessed with a man of exceptional character and qualifications for this vital posi tion." "I very much look forward to have George with us as a member of the team," Reagan said. GEORGE SHULTZ Nomination confirmed Weicker, did not vote on the final tally. In two days of questioning before the committee, Shultz had pledged "wide and ever-strengthening ties with the Arabs" and said he would pursue "as constructive and beneficial relationship as possible" with the Soviet Union. He may now step into the office vacated in protest by Alexander M. Haig Jr.

as soon as he is sworn in. Plans weren't yet firm, but aides to Reagan The 97-0 vote was hardly a surprise. Shultz, 61, who already has served a hitch in government as secretary of labor, budget director and secretary of the Treasury during tfie Nixon administration, effectively locked up his return to Washington when he won the unanimous endorsement of the committee a day earlier.

A cloud of deadly chlorine gas from a sewage treatment plant drifted over hundreds of homes Thursday, injuring at least eight people and prompting the evacuation of more than 150, officials said. Five firefighters and two sewage workers were treated at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for eye irritation and breathing difficulty, but all were released a short while later, hospital spokeswoman Cheri Lieurance said. Another firefighter was admitted to Palm Drive Hospital with the same problem and was listed in stable condition, hospital worker Linda Adams said. About 400 pounds of liquid chlorine leaked from the bottom of a pressurized, one-ton tank at the Santa Rosa sewage treatment plant, city public works director Roy Riha said. Draft foe pleads innocent ROANOKE, Va.

Enten Eller, the second man charged in the nation for refusing to register since the draft was reinstated, pleaded innocent Thursday in federal court. Eller, 20, a minister's son, said his beliefs as a Christian prevented him from registering. A member of the pacifist Church of the Brethren and a Bridgewater College senior, Eller admitted to U.S. District Court Judge James Turk that he hadn't registered. He later said he was nervous during his first appearance in a court, and mistakenly entered a guilty plea before changing it to innocent.

If convicted, Eller faces a possible maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Moose loses court case GUILDHALL, Vt. The court case pitted a 56-year-old man against a 600-pound moose. The man won. A jury deliberated less than an hour Wednesday before deciding that Gerard Poutre was innocent of worrying the moose a year ago in Walden Pond.

"This is not a comedy skit," Essex County State's Attorney Sten Lium warned the court. The charge of "worrying and harrying a wild game" was filed after a neighbor, Larry Fuller, said he saw Poutre chasing a moose in a motorboat on Walden Pond in Canaan. A conviction would have carried a maximum $50 fine and the loss of his fishing and hunting license. Poutre, 56, said he had merely been trying to take pictures of the animal. His lawyer told jurors that a guilty verdict would have a chilling effect on any person wanting to photograph a wild animal.

The moose's state of mind was debated as prosecutors sought to show that Poutre was harassing the animal. Fuller testified that the moose was not frightened until Poutre chased it with his boat on Aug. 14. 1981. Donnellan objected, saying he did not think Fuller could testify about the animal's state of mind.

INTERNATIONAL ROUNDUP identified administration officials. Israel radio reported Thursday that Sharon told a closed-door session of the Israeli Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee that he prefers not to launch an assault on the PLO stronghold. The state radio quoted Sharon as saying such an attack would cause heavy losses to Beirut civilians and Israeli soldiers and also could harm relations with the United States, which has cautioned Israel against attacking Beirut. An estimated 35.000 Israeli soldiers and 300 tanks have bottled up the guerrillas and naval gunboats have sealed off sea escape routes. A U.S.

-arranged cease-fire, the sixth since Israel invaded Lebanon June 6 to destroy the PLO's forces, was "generally intact" for a fourth straight day despite minor infractions in the Beirut area and in eastern Lebanon, the Lebanese police said. Israeli forces and Palestinian guerrillas traded artillery and machine gun fire around Beirut's paralyzed international airport in a two-hour flare-up before dawn. Associated Press The PLO's security chief said Thursday that despite negotiations to end the siege of west Beirut, the trapped Palestinian guerrillas expected a street battle with Israeli troops and tanks ringing the Lebanese capital. "We are engaged in political negotiations, but a fight remains the foremost probability," said Salah Khalaf, better known by the code name Abu Iyad. "We are prepared to fight and shall do it with everything we have, even with our nails," he said in a speech broadcast by the Palestine Liberation Organization's radio station.

Defense Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel said Thursday that Israel was showing "great patience" with the diplomatic negotiations to evacuate the Palestinian guerrillas from Beirut. But he said, "It is better that everyone connected with the matter remember that we have not returned the sword to its sheath and won't return it until the last of the terrorists has left Beirut." Sharon spoke at a ceremony in Fischer said: "The issue of where the PLO fighters are to go remains unre-. solved. We are hopeful that the Arab community will find a way to help resolve this issue promptly." He said the PLO had "agreed in principle" to evacuate Beirut. It was the first time the administration had publicly declared there was such a commitment.

President Hafez Assad on Wednesday received a letter from Reagan. Although the contents were not revealed, unconfirmed reports from Damascus said Reagan had requested that Syria agree to take Palestinian guerrillas it a way for them to evacuate Lebanon can be worked out. Syria so far has refused and has insisted Israel withdraw from Lebanon first. The unconfirmed reports said Assad responded to Reagan's letter by saying that Syria's stand stemmed from the fact that the PLO had not asked to go to Syria. Reagan also sent a letter to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia in which he asked the king for help in finding a haven for the guerrillas, The New York Times reported Thursday, quoting un southern Israel honoring the country's air force.

U.S. mediator Philip C. Habib will resume his effort today to break the diplomatic stalemate on how, when and where to evacuate PLO leader Yasser Arafat's estimated 8.000 guerrillas from Moslem west Beirut, Lebanon radio reported. U.S. and Lebanese mediators canceled a scheduled conference Thursday because Lebanese President Elias Sarkis was ill, the radio said.

In Damascus, diplomatic sources said Thursday that Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Halim Khaddam will fly to Washington on Tuesday for talks with President Reagan on the Lebanon crisis. White House officials have said Reagan, Secretary of State-designate George P. Shultz and the Syrian and Saudi foreign ministers will meet in Washington in a few days to discuss the Lebanon crisis. The Reagan administration said Thursday that "now is the appropriate time" for the Arab world to help find a home for the PLO guerrillas.
