Officials here said Nov. 30
that they had no knowledge
of any agreement having
been reached with respect-to
southern Lebanon. They
were responding to reports
from Washington that Syria
has agreed not to send its
troops into southern
Lebanon, which would be
handed  over   to  Lebanese
.units, possibly with token re¬
inforcements,   from ^ other
.Arab countries.
The officials said they oe-
lieved American sources-
were  drawing  conclusions
from contacts in the region
and were prematurely pro-'
jecting them into the future.
But they agreed that there
was a good chance of some
arrangement  materializing

Egyptian President Anwar

Rabin said Israel'was
ready to liiscuss territorial
adjustments. "We 'do riot
consider existing_ lines as
final, defacto realities," he
said. But he stressed that a
Mideast peace conference
"must not attempt the im¬
possible through a futile il¬
lusion that history can be put
back." •
„ He said that only the heads
of the sovereign govern¬
ments in the region and the
two superpowers, the United
States and the'Soviet Union,

"Tlie best solution is for a

Situation Along Border Remains
Quiet But Questionable
By Yitzhak Shargil
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - The demonstrative massing of    .-
. Israeli forces along the Lebanese border during the
past week has resulted in a visible easing of tension in   '*
that region. But while the possibility of clashes with :
Syrian or terrorist units in southern Lebanon has. been •
reduced for the present, the.massive presence of
Syrian forces in Lebanon may create, in the long run^a
serious new military situation for Israel, sources here
said Nov. 30.
' Israel's strong position Has kept Syrian troops out of
southern Lebanon and away from Israel's border. But
tens of thousands of Syrian troops, supported by hun-
.dredsof tanks'arid other armored vehicles arid artil¬
lery are in virtual occupation of the rest of that
•country. - ,
Israel has no say as to the size of the Syrian forces or
how long they will remain in Lebanon; nor can Israel
ignore the possible - consequences of the Syrian-
presence, the sourceffsaid.

Newsies To Sell Papers Saturday
/ Back in 1907,when the first
Charity Newsies Newspaper
Sale took place, there were
only 50 Newsies to sell
papers. They took in $742.72.
This Saturday, Dec. 11 when
the Newgies hold their 70th'
"Annual Newspaper Sale to
clothe the needy school chil¬
dren ,of Franklin County,
over 250 Newsies will be sell¬
ing papers all-over the city
.and county.' Their goal is
$250,000.
At a cost of $61 to outfit the
average child, drive, chair¬
man Dana Deshler says the
Newsies must meet this
year's goal. Applications are
heavier than ever before.
Last year, the Newsies gave *
clothing to nearly 12,000 chil-"
dren. This year, it could very
well reach 14,000.
All   donations   to   the
Newsies at any time go 100%
into the Clothing Fund. The
Newsies are completely
volunteer. They handle the
clothing operation them¬
selves. Administration and
operating costs must come
■from other sources.
Newsies are men from all
walks of life, all with one
thing in common. They be¬
lieve that "No child should
ever have to be kept out of
school for the lack of cloth¬
ing."
The Newsie who sells you
your paper could be your
grocer, plumber, .doctor, at¬
torney, insurance man, fire¬
man, a radio or TV persona¬
lity, senator or, congress¬
man. On papier sale day, he
is proudest of being a Newsie
and being able to help those
in need.
