Lance remains charged with 10 counts of misap- plication of bank funds and two counts of making false statements to banks.

U.N. spokesmen and diplo- mats in Beirut, the Lebanese qapital, said more than 300 Is- raeli troops crossed the fron- tier on Wednesday and were patrolling an arc more than 10 miles long around the southeast corner of Lebanon. One of the Israeli outposts was in an area controlled by U.N. peacekeepers since April 1978. The other two were reported in the six-mile- deep by 59-mile-wide border enclave held by Israel's Christian militia allies. The U.N. force said seven Israeli tanks and 12 other ar- mored vehicles we're deployed near the Lebanese village of Markabe, and 11 tanks, a bulldozer and about 200 soldiers were digging in near the village of Kounin. In ^addition, troops of the Irish ;t|.N. contingent told Itjjplomats in Beirut that 100 ^Sraeli soldiers and about five personnel carriers ; -armored were seen digging in just east ' of the Irish-patrolled village ofShakra. Another U.N. report from the Shakra district said a U.N. vehicle hit a mine in the area, injuring its two oc- cupants who were evacuated by Israeli-troops. Unconfirm- ed press reports in Beirut identified one of the casualties as a Dutch Col. Van Snogten, chief-of-staff of the U.N. peacekeeping force. The Israelis were digging trenches and stringing barb- ed wire around their emplacements, U.N. sources said. AP photographer Max Nash, visiting the northern- most Israeli town of Metulla, said he saw an Israeli army bulldozer smoothing a road on the Lebanese side of the frontier. \There are indications they (the Israelis) will be staying for a while,\ Goksel said. Israeli military sources said the incursion was to Mock possible Palestinian terror attacks aimed at undermining President Carter's talks in Washington with Egyptian President An- war Sadat, which ended Wednesday, and next week's session with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

Israel's daylight incursion Wednesday came two days after five guerrillas raided a nursery at the Israeli border kibbutz of Misgav Am, less than a mile east of the Leba- nese frontier. Three Israelis, including an infant Boy, died in the attack. Israeli com- mandos killed the raiders, identified as members of the Iraqi-backed Arab Liberation Front, one of the eight guer- rilla armies in Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization. Hijacker's identity a mystery MIAMI (AP) - The identity and motives of a quiet, muscular young man who slipped aboard an American Airlines jet in California, pointed a .45- caliber revolver at a steward- ess's head and com- mandeered the plane for a flight to Cuba remain a myStery, the FBI says. The seven-member crew was safe, back in the United States, Wednesday night after an 11-hour odyssey that took them from California to Dallas to Havana — where the hijacker gave up — and finally to Miami. \He communicated very little to the crew. We don't know who he is. We don't know why he wanted to go to Cuba, so we can't even speculate. Anything is possible,\ special FBI agent Arthur F. Nehrbass said in Miami. Even if the FBI identifies the hijacker, described as \a young black man in his early 30s,\ the chances of ex- tradicting him from Cuba are slim, Nehrbass said. \Traditionally the Cuban authorities have not returned hijackers, unless they ask to be returned,\ he said. The three-man, four- woman crew arrived at Miami International Airport at9:27p.m. \Everybody is safe,\ said airline spokesman Vincent Modugno. He said the crew members would not be identi- fied until an investigation was complete, and they would not be allowed to talk to repor- ters. Wednesday afternoon entered a directed verdict-of acquittal on these charges: five .misapplications, three false statements and one charge that Lance made a false entry in bank records. Lance and his three co- defendants also have been acquitted on a wide-ranging conspiracy charge. The two remaining false- statement charges allege Lance overvalued assets and concealed liabilities in two financial statements sub- mitted to an Atlanta bank in connection with a $175,000 loan to Lance. Acid rain responsibility rejected WASHINGTON AP)-To the frustration of delegates from the Northeast, coal-pro- ducing states in the Midwest are rejecting pollution con- trols to stop acid rain on the grounds the problem doesn't affect them directly. Representatives from Il- linois, Ohio and Indiana told a conference on acid rain Wednesday that they don't want additional pollution con- trols, even though their states have been identified as major sources of the pollutants that fall as acid rain in the Nor- theast. The responses frustrated delegates from Canada and the Northeast, where acid rain has been held responsi- ble for killing fish in hundreds of lakes. < \The role that was outlined today by Illinois and Ohio does lend credence to the idea that we sit at opposite ends of the pole,\ said Robert Flacke of New York. He said he could not understand the \Land of, Oz-like attitudes\ of the Midwest. Jerry Fitzgerald English, representing New Jersey, said the sulfur dioxide emis- sions of Ohio alone almost equal those of New York, New Jersey and Penn- sylvania combined. \New Jersey and the rest of the Northeast have reached the limit,\ she said. Acid rain contains solutions of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, formed from sulfur and nitrogen oxides released in the burning of fossil fuels, principally coal. •||Mpf the districts in the stsffe %re getUngrmpre thah 70 peVceht of their 'forms back, wj^ seyeralVegiste^ing more thahfiO percent, officials said.

Bargaining progress was reported Wednesday follow- ing what everyone agreed was the worst day of the strike — heavy traffic ag- gravated by short tempers, some violence, and more pouring rain and flooding. \This has been the most difficult of the days of strife and we haVe come through, nevertheless,\ said Mayor Edward Koch, \and we will come through any of the days ahead.\ He added, however, that the pickup in negotiations was \the light at the end of the day.\ v ' :> , It was a day in which 957,000 public school students ended their spring vacations, but only 65 percent made it to school. Ninety-five percent of their teachers made it, though. And it was a day marked by violence — more than 20 pri- vate buses were vandalized and two police officers were assaulted by motorists and bicyclists. Some vandals reportedly forced a private bus to the side of a Bronx road and broke its windshield wipers, putting it out of com- mission. Some strikers or sympa- thizers tried to tie up the Ma- jor Deegan Expresway and Brooklyn Bridge by driving cars slowly, three abreast. Traffic crawled, but the feared paralysis of traffic in Manhattan's central business district, the\ dreaded \gridlock never occurred. Gridlock is a theoretical condition in which the city be- comes so packed with cars that none of them can move system that normally pulls In 5.5 million fares a day. The workers, who make an average of $18,000 annually, are seeking an increase of 25 percent over two years. The MTA has offered 12 percent over two years, and is demanding \givebacks\ of perquisites gained by workers in previous con- tracts. Because of the apparent in- creased tempo of the bargain- ing and at the request of man- agement and the unions, a spokesman for the state attorney general said he would ask State Supreme Court Judge John Monteleone in Brooklyn to postpone a •hearing on the unions' de- £. , ^^fiance of Monteleone's back- *his was the worst day of to . work order the strike so far ... not be- cause of the number of cars but because of the elements,\ hesaid. Officials said 245,000 cars entered the Manhattan business district during the morning rush hour Wednes- day, compared with 250,000' the day before and 185,000 horrnaUy before the strike. The^ity's 35,000 transit workers-struck April 1, clos- ing down a mass transit Monteleone already has levied $1 million in fines against the unions and their leaders, and has threatened even harsher penalties. Mediator Walter Gellhorn said he felt round-the-clock talks would not be productive so he asked the parties to meet at 9:30 a.m. today as the strike entered its 10th day. their dog?' names,, thoughtfully identifying them! as such, officials said. •' Others wrote political mes- sages, including \Free the, hostages,\ and some people •. attached cards saying they.- believe the census is an/ unconstitutional invasion of. privacy. At least one woman didn't < think it was an invasion of; privacy, and, in fact, was ajn' parently upset that she didn't receive a long form, which goes into greater detail on ethnic background and economic status. So'', accor- ding to Albany district Direc- tor John McEneny, she pro, vided the information on her family tree anyway. More residents have been asking to fill out long forms than have complained about receiving them, McEneny said. The messages and the cloak-and-dagger excitement of the bureau's \M-night\ — also known as \migrant\ or \mission\ night by census workers — have livened up what normally could be a dull job, McEneny said. That's the,night when enumerators count people living in tem- porary housing. McEneny said enumerators were especially excited about a banana boat found in the Port of Albany during one M-night \raid.\ About 40 crewman, wepe registered as being tem- porary residents of the city and the state, he said, and the benefits for the area could be sizeable, in federal revenue; sharing funds and othee federal grant programs. J Iranians at Vtv^hool ordered to leave U.S. =M= NORTHFIELD, Vt. (AP) — Eighty-five Iranian students at Norwich Univer- sity are making preparations for a hasty departure follow- ing an order by the U.S. Im- migration and Naturalization Service that they leave the country by Friday midnight. The school received the order from the local Im- igigration Service office in Burlington at 2 p.m. Wednes- day, according to college spokesman George Turner. It will affect those Iranians at the small military school who are members of the Ira- nian Navy, Turner said. But he said 12 other Iranian students will be allowed to stay because they are not members of their nation's military. The U.S. State Department is treating the navy members as officials of Iran and has included them under its directive that all Iranian government officials leave the country, according to Wednesday's order. A similar order went out to Ira- nians attending The Citadel and Virginia Military In- stitute, Turner said. Norwich officials had said earlier this week that they did not expect President Carter's latest punitive measures against Iran to affect any Ira- nians at the school.
