WASHINGTON — A small advance party of U.S. Marines are in war- ravaged Beirut and the remaining members of the 800-man U.S. peace- keeping force will arrive “within the next 48 hours,” the Pentagon said Tuesday. Pentagon spokesman Henry Catto told a news conference that four Marines went to the Israeli-encircled Leban- ese capital Monday to make a preliminary in- spection and to consult OTTAWA - The Canadian Labor Congress Tuesday denied reports it dropped the idea of a mass public sector strike to protest federal wage controls because it knew a strike could not suc- ceed. An internal CLC memo leaked this week warned CLC executive members against trying to organize public servants into an indefinite strike because it would probably end in defeat and _ disullusion- ment. But a CLC spokeswoman said the NEW DELHI, India — Moslem guerrillas am- bushed a rally by the Sovict-backed ruling Afghan Communist Party in a “pacified” town last week and killed or wounded several hundred civilians and = soldiers, ~ Western diplomats said Tuesday. The diplomats said the two civilian hospitals in the capital, Kabul, were “yammed with wounded” from the ambush, which occurred tn Paghwan, a town only = nine miles MOSCOW Cosmonaut Svetlana Savilskaya and her four male colleagues sarned out medical tests and other caperiments Tucsday ino the orbiting Salyut space station the official Tass news agen y said Back on Earth tele grams of congratulations arrived for the world's sccond woman space traveler from Soviet worker and student organizations an well as Marines arrive in Beirut with French troops who arrived Saturday. The U.S. troops, along with French and Italian units, will help safeguard the evacuation from the city of members of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The exodus began this past weekend. Catto disclosed that a liason group from the U.S. Marine unit had earher been in the city for contact with special U.S. envoy Philip Habib, who last week successfully negotiated the evacuation plan. General strike failure feared labor body had decided against a strike simply because it felt individual action by affected unions would be “more. ef- fective.” “Individual unions know the situation in their particular industry better. Maybe they would decide to use rotating strikes or work to rule,” said the spokeswoman. Responding to the report, CLC president Dennis McDermott said it was no secret the con- gress had decided against a mass strike in favor of individual union action. Afghan ambush reported north of Kabul. The Soviet-backed government earlier claimed the Paghman area had been “pacified” by Afghan and Sovict troops. It became the scene of a flurry of ac- tivity by government soldiers after the attack, the diplomats said.

The house, at 432-434 East Ist Street, has to be demolished within 30 days by the owners, or the City will do it for them — and then charge them for it. But there's still some hope for owners Joyce Joh and her husband. If they can con- vince council before the 30 days are up that they are serious about fixing up the place, the demolition order might be rescinded. But council members and members of the public who spoke at a public hearing into the house were clearly fed up with the delay in action. A man who owns four duplexes near the house said it endangered the lives of his tenants, because of the fire hazard. “A kid can go in and torch that thing any night,” he warned. He, along with some council members, was sceptical about promises from Joh’s lawyer that the house would be fixed up within four months and then sold. Other people who spoke during the first part of the public hearing last month, said it was infested with rats, and had a sickening odor during hot weather. The duplex was gutted by fire in 1964, and bought by the Johs the next year. Previous councils have tried to get it fixed up, with no success. A lawyer for Joyce Joh said her client and her husband have been trying to fix up the property, and should be able to restore it for $20,000 to $25,000.
