Phil Newsom 'Stop dozing off! Our civic duty is to watch the convention, Written in the stars residents Lebanon in fea ive Ever since the May massacre at Tel Aviv airport in which hired gunmen killed 25 persons and wounded 72 others Lebanon has lived in suspense-ful fear of a massive Israeli counterattack. Nor has that fear been relieved by a sharp attack by Israeli forces across the Lebanese border during the month of June. That attack was in retaliation for an Arab guerrilla ambush against a tourist bus inside Israel. Therefore it could not be counted in this struggle in which the balance is an eye for an eye. Lebanon, on Israel's northern border, is caught in a cruel dilemma.

Its 1949 armistice accord with Israel was supposed to guarantee peace on the frontier. It was observed during the Israeli-Arab War of 1967. Lebanon, half Christian and half Moslem, would like to be neutral even though it is an Arab state. But it also is bound by another agreement reached with the Arab guerrillas in Cairo in 1969. That agreement guaranteed the guerrillas safe haven in Lebanon and opened certain routes for them to attack Israel across the border in return for a guerrilla promise not to use Lebanese villages as bases, not to fire across the border and not to operate in the Mediterranean coastal zone.

The guerrillas have violated each of these conditions but another circumstance is that the Lebanese army has neither the strength to repel Israeli attacks nor to deal with the 5,000 or so guerrillas within its borders. It is a weakness which has made Lebanon especially vulnerable to pressures from the more extremist of the Arab nations, notably algeria, Libya and Syria. Syria harbors the greater number of the Palestinian guerrillas perhaps 8,000 since King Hussein of Jordan broke the back of the movement in his kingdom. Syria has, however, been able to place strict limits on their activities by using Lebanon and attacks against Israel across its borders as a safety valve. Caught as it is between its Arab neighbors and the forces of Israel on the one hand and its own weakness on the other there is little Lebanon can do except appeal to the guerrilla leadership itself for at least a little understanding, that or accept an Israeli threat to set up a "permanent presence" inside Lebanese borders.

Gains to be made. fw Friday, July 14 Born today, you are not one to be tied down long to unwanted responsibilities. You will do your duty for as long as you must but you will, while you are doing it, be looking for a legitimate way out of whatever you have unwittingly or unwisely gotten yourself into.

You have little patience with those who insist upon being held captive by situations or circumstances which are very much within the limits of their own control. As you demand for yourself the freedom to choose work or play both enjoyable and suitable, so you would demand the same for anyone else. Although you realize that nature must usually be allowed to take its natural course, you are seldom above trying to force nature in one way or another in order to hasten the forthcoming advantages. You would be wise, however, to keep such tendencies under control. The day may come when nature will let you know who's boss in no uncertain terms, and the losses you may be forced to sustain in the process may be severe and lasting.

You have an undeniable creative streak in your makeup. In fact, you may find it to be somewhat perverse as well as undeniable, for it may crop up at exceedingly odd times, demanding recognition when you would most like to ignore it. During such time, you may find that you have marked your progress or lack of it with original touches that may well be as ludicrous as they are memorable. Your wit can save you from embarrassment. To find what is in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph.

Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Saturday, July 15 CANCER (June 22-July 23) Take care that another's aggression does not place you in an embarrassing position where your own friends and family are concerned.

LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) Take care that fallacious reasoning doesn't mislead you into making a move you will regret in the long run. Test the logic of your decisions. SCORPIO (Oct.

24-Nov. 22) Children may be able to mediate in a dispute between adults this morning. You might be wise to give it a try, even though you mistrust the idea. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.

22) If the advice you have received appears of little value, don't hesitate to refuse it, even though you may jeopardize a friendship by doing so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) Cut down on spending immediately. Otherwise you may soon find that a strict budget is forced upon you.

Relax your hold on children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) Price and value do not necessarily go hand in hand. Make sure that you are getting what you pay for and vice versa.

Remain alert. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 21) Don't allow the spending proclivities of your partner business or marriage disturb your thinking where values are concerned. Keep your standards high. ARIES (March 22-April 20) Make an effort to keep at least one jump ahead of your nearest competitor.

These are days when at-home hobbies can be made to influence careers for good. TAURUS (April 21-May 21) The quicker you can grasp the changing situations and circumstances of your everyday life, the sooner you will make the necessary adjustment. Seek knowledge. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Intelligence is the tool you need most if you are to be able to make of this day the success others hope for. You can please the majority.

We have a few orators like that in my country too." Later on, the visitor expressed puzzlement as to why the Democrats went to so much trouble to televise the proceedings and then delayed important business until most viewers were asleep. "It's a matter of moral rectitude," I explained. "Thanks to rule changes, many of the delegates attending this com'ention are young people. And Miami Beach is a wicked city where sinful night life and turiitude abound.

"By keeping the convention in session all night, the program chairman keeps these callow youths away from the flesh pots and other temptations too lurid to mention." The Australian said, "I understand. We have a few program chairmen like that in Australia too." Perhaps the toughest job was explaining why some of the Democrats were actively campaigning for the vice presidential nomination. "There's a move under way to make the vice presidency an all-volunteer job," I said. "Politicians who have fled to Canada to avoid being drafted for vice president would then be granted amnesty." The Australian said, "I understand. We have a few cowards in Australia too." WASHINGTON (UPI) In a press release this week, Rep.

Otis G. Iike, wrote that Americans would have a hard time explaining our political conventions to foreigners. Actually, it isn't all that difficult. I happened to have watched portions of the Democratic National Convention with a group that included an Australian who had only been in this country a few days. He frequently turned to me for guidance and it only took a few words of clarification for him to understand what was going on.

Or at least he said he understood what was going on. During the credentials debate, for example, the Australian asked me why the delegates were milling around on the floor rather than listening to the arguments. "You've got to realize that convention oratory is highly persuasive," I replied. "If the delegates paid attention to the speeches, they would find both sides equally convincing and would be unable to decide how to vote. That would bring the convention to a complete standstill.

"The only way the delegates can make up their minds on the various issues, and thus avoid a deadlock, is to get up and walk around when someone is addressing them." Frank Eleaier A tenuous agreement reached between Lebanese Premier Saeb Salam and guerrilla leader Yasir Arafat points up the contradictions within the Arab camp. The agreement declares that temporarily at least the guerrillas will suspend their operations against Israel from inside Lebanon in order to spare the country reprisal attacks from Israel. But even as the announcement was made, a splinter guerrilla group called the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, General Command, declared it would ignore the accord. Chief contradiction to emerge is Arab reluctance to curb the guerrillas who negotiate almost as a separate nation and yet whose contribution to the Arab cause is questionable at best. Certainly the Tel Aviv massacre did nothing to win world sympathy for the Arab cause.

At present glass cord reinforces belts in more than half the tires installed on new cars. Such bias-belted casings have polyester sidewalls. PPG, the nation's leading producer of the glass tire cord, said an all-glass radial now in the test stages is a distinct possibility. The all-glass tire incorporates the cord in both the belt and carcass. Sanguigni, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, said the radial belted ply keeps the tread straight and open.

The belt enables the tire to ride easier on road sufraces and extends the life of the tire. The radial tire is in limited supply, but Sanguigni said production will step up. "Pound for pound glass fiber is stronger than steel," Sanguigni said. "But to the consumer steel implies strength and glass is considered fragile. We think on a cost performance basis, nothing can beat fiber glass tires." There were some problems in the development of the fiber glass tire.

There were breakages in the tire, but researchers say they solved this by improving the level of filament. Tests with fiber glass radial tires indicated tread wear and high speed performance equal the steel cord, Sanguigni said, and the ride quality was comparable to rayon. "Fiber glass cord is also lighter and cheaper than steel, and in -fact, at equivalent design strengths, is the lowest cost cord now available. This economic advantage is expected to continue," he said. PPG wants to prove its Hycor cord will perform in a radial tire under all conditions high speed turnpike driving, curbing and cornering, on cobblestones and over potholes and while under-inflated or overloaded.

But much work remains to be done. However, PPG officials say that the basic properties of fiber glass coupled with recent Improvements in the impregnant and desive provide a solid technical basis for believing the fiber glass radial tire will be a commercial success in America.

So there's no telling what they will say when they get around to reading the party's new national platform.

Among other things it commits them to reform the congressional seniority system; to discipline members who balk at party directives; and to deny party favor or status to Democrats other than the regular kind. That is not quite to say the card-carrying kind. The card-carrying bit was one of many things the old Democratic bulls in the House didn't like about the party's new charter. This document proposed to vest party control in a "national policy conference" in which, as the lawmakers noted, Democratic public officials would be hopelessly outnumbered by ordinary folks picked from the grassroots. Whereas a Democrat used to be anybody who would admit it, a new category of official card holders was to be established, preferably people donating $10 or more to the cause.

These card carriers would be the only kind of Democrats entitled to vote for members of the policy conference. "You can't allow a small group to dictate the policy of the whole party," said Rep. James A. Burke, after the June 28 caucus at which the new charter was denounced as "not in the best interests" of the party. If a group of 3,800 is too small to advise House Democrats, presumably the 3,016 convention delegates who approved the platform also would be expected to mind their own business.
