"The just and global solution must be based on the achievement of the national right of the Palestinian people, under the direction of the PLO, its sole legitimate representative," the statement said. The PLO-affiliated leadership of the Palestinian uprising called for a three-day strike beginning today on the West Bank and in Gaza, and barred Palestinians from meeting Shultz during his five-day trip to the region. The strike closed stores throughout the territories today. In the television interview on Sunday, Shultz defended his meeting last Saturday in Washington with Edward Said and Ibrahim Abu-Lughud, two American professors who are members of the Palestinian National Council. "They are not members of the FLO," Shultz said.

The council Is the legislative arm of the PLO movement to establish a state on Israeli territory. Shultz described the two council members as Americans who are ethnic Palestinians and whose "aspirations" deserve a U.S. hearing. Shultz is looking on this trip for a positive reply to the two-step plan for negotiations he presented a month ago to Arab and Israeli SHULTZ from Pago A1 on Israel to give up all the territory. Asked if he agreed with Teres that Israel should not return to its pre-1967 borders and that there would be no Palestinian state, Shultz replied: "Absolutely." A reporter asked again if Shultz was saying no" to a Palestinian state.

Shultz responded: "No to a Palestinian state, no to a return to the borders." Israel relinquished the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt as a part of a 1979 peace treaty. But Shamir is reluctant to give up the West Bank, which Jordan occupied 1949 until 1967 when Israel captured the territory in a war. Shultzs visit comes after four months of rioting in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip that has killed more than 135 Arabs and one Israeli soldier. Shamir, in a tour of the West Bank on Sunday, questioned whether the Arabs were ready to deal with Israel. Shamir said he was skeptical about all the prophecies that the talks will have some kind of result, a breakthrough." Shultz also will meet with Peres and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

In Tunis, meanwhile, the PLO reaffirmed its rejection of the U.S. plan. Joe Hart surveys the damage Sunday after a tornado swept through Louisiana on Saturday. 4 twisters buzz Michigan community of Manchester, but the twister apparently did not touch down, Fendon said. The storm system also produced severe thunderstorms elsewhere in the states Lower Peninsula.

Traverse City, Houghton Lake and Grand Rapids each received about 1 inch of rain, while wind gusts reached 63 mph near Ann Arbor, the weather service said. About 9,000 customers lost electrical service during the storm, utility officials said. In Louisiana, partly cloudy skies and 80-degree weather permitted a continued cleanup Sunday by victims of a tornado and floods that accompanied a torrential weekend rain. Southeast Louisiana was waterlogged by more than a foot of precipitation. Rain-swollen rivers and streams continued to crest above flood stage, but officials said the flooding would be confined mostly to rural areas.

Hardest hit by flooding were the suburban subdivisions in Marrero, across from New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River. But Tony Rodi, coordinator for emergency management in Jefferson Parish, said streets hip-deep in water on Saturday were dry by Sunday, and power was restored to nearly all the houses. Rodi said no official count was available on the number of homes that were flooded Saturday. The Red Cross said about 200 people were evacuated Saturday; about 70 were in an emergency shelter Sunday. On the other side of Lake Pontchartrain, residents in Slidell continued to clean up from a tornado Saturday that the state Office of Emergency Preparedness said destroyed three homes, caused major damage to 17 others and minor damage to 32 more.

Monsignor Marcos Antonio McGrath, the archbishop of Panama City, agreed to requests by several foreign governments to act as mediator in the dispute, and several opposition leaders said they would back the idea under certain conditions. McGrath set a midnight deadline for all parties to agree to the arrangement or the offer would be withdrawn. The government has not responded.

Sundays edition of the government-run newspaper La Republica quoted pro-government labor leaders as urging Panamanians to prepare for an American invasion when the additional troops begin arriving. There are 10,000 troops stationed at the U.S.

Southern Command in Panama. Pentagon officials said more troops may be sent if they are needed. The chase on Sunday ended an otherwise calm Easter holiday and ushered in a week of uncertainty for Panamanians. A Roman Catholic Church offer to mediate an end to the countrys political crisis was set to expire at midnight tonight. Embassy spokesman Terence Kneebone said Davis was leaving the home of Vatican Ambassador Jose Sebastian Laboa when the Panamanian vehicle "began following immediately, picking them up right outside the gate.

He said it tried to stop the chauffeur-driven car with its lights and sirens. The ambassadors driver, in accordance with instructions, did not stop. The ambassador was driven to his residence, and the other vehicle followed all the way," Knee-bone said. The residences are about two miles apart. We consider this serious," Knee-bone said.

He declined to comment on what security provisions Davis had but said they were normal un Bank POLITICS from Pago A1 States and Noriega. Jackson released a letter from Noriega in which the dictator rejected any imposition and any political and economic program that will be dictated from Washington, D.C." Jackson chalked up another win over the weekend in the Virgin Islands Democratic caucus, picking up 634 votes to Dukakis 37. The contest netted Jackson only three delegates, but he drew closer to the Massachusetts governor in their seesaw battle for supremacy in the delegate race. The latest AP tally gave Dukakis 653.55, Jackson 646.55, with the uncommitted tally at 468.6. Tennessee Sen.

Albert Gore had 381.8 and Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois 169.5. Gore and Simon are both badly in need of a win in Wisconsin. Gore has not had a victory since Super Tuesday; Simon has won only in his home state of Illinois. Simon searched for votes as children hunted eggs at an Easter egg hunt in Madison.

He said he shares Jacksons passion for the less fortunate, adding: "I offer not only passion, but the experience to do something about it." Simon also said his credentials are better than those of Dukakis. I have the experience with national issues that, frankly, Mike doesnt have, he said. A poll in the Milwaukee Journal, conducted Wednesday and Thursday, gave Dukakis a narrow lead over Jackson in Wisconsin, 43 to 35 percent. Gore had 15 percent and Simon 5 percent, according to the poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. Although its survey suggested Gore was behind, the newspaper endorsed him, calling the Tennessee senator the best qualified to serve as president.

The Journal praised Jackson for shaking up the political process but said his lack of experience in government was a weak point Gore has been hitting at lack of government experience and questioning his electabili-ty. Dukakis, however, shied away from predicting how Jackson would do against Bush. I dont think there is any way of knowing," he told reporters outside a Milwaukee church on Sunday. But, he added: I think George Bush is beatable. Id like to be able to run against him.

Democratic Party Chairman Paul Kirk also sidestepped questions about Jacksons electability. The Democratic Party will do its best to nominate, I hope, the most electable candidate in order to win in November, Kirk said Sunday on television. A poll published in this weeks editions of U.S. News World report said if Jackson became Dukakis running mate, the Democrats could defeat the Republican ticket, regardless of who became Bushs running mate. A Dukakis-Jackson ticket was supported by 47 percent of the 1,004 people contacted last week by telephone for the poll, while a hypothetical GOP ticket of Bush and Illinois Gov.

Jim Thompson would win 42 percent, the survey said. The pod, conducted by the Roper Organization, had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Another poll, published in this weeks editions of Newsweek magazine, said two-thirds of Democrats and voters leaning toward the party say Jackson should get the nomination if he leads in popular vote and delegates at the time of the convention even if he doesnt have the 2,082 delegates needed to nominate. Jacksons campaign chairman, California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, raised the possibility of a floor fight at the convention this summer if the Jackson forces believed the delegate race had not played out fairly. I think if the rules need to be challenged we will do so, said Brown.

However, Brown said he did not believe Jackson automatically was entitled to the nomination if he led in popular vote and delegate totals at the end of the primary season. I only believe hes entitled to the nomination if we succeed in producing the appropriate number of delegates, Brown said. Jackson played down the possibility of a convention fight. Were certainly going to stand for fairness, but I hope it wont come to a fight I think that most Democrats are going to stand for that which is fair and that which is right he said as he campaigned in Colorado.

Associated Press Thunderstorms spawned at least four tornadoes in Michigan, causing no injuries but damaging dozens of homes and disrupting electrical service, while Louisiana residents cleaned up from a weekend twister and flooding.

Much of the damage in Michigan was confined to Washtenaw County southwest of Detroit where a funnel cloud touched down four times Sunday afternoon along a 13-mile path, said Dan Harsh, county emergency management director.

The WLS programs were carried on Heritage Channel 31. Once Channel 28 begins sending its signal to the cable company, WSJVs programs will be seen on Channel 31. Due to technical factors, WSJV cannot return to its normal Channel 6 spot on the Heritage Cablevi-sion dial until it returns to normal broadcasting, Rotolo said. Early today, Heritage Cablevi-sion subscribers in Rochester received programs from the ABC affiliate in Fort Wayne as a substitute. Rotolo said they will continue receiving the Fort Wayne station until Channel 28 returns to normal broadcasting.

Although it may be able to reach 70,000 viewers via the local cable-television system, WSJV will be reaching only about 25 percent of the Michiana television market Martha Sims, programming director for Channel 28, said she could not immediately estimate the revenue loss from having to pay refunds to advertisers or give them credits. It is standard procedure in the TV industry. If you dont air, you dont pay, Sims said. It also was not known immediately how much it will cost to replace the fallen tower, but Sims said it was insured. The company hired by Channel 28 to replace the tower brought a pre-assembled unit with them.

Sims said that is why they believe they can return to normal broadcasting sometime Tuesday.
