At least 28 people, including six U.S. Marines, were killed, hospital officials said. A doctor at the American University Hospital said 100 people were injured by the blast. The dead also included two Lebanese policemen, the doctor said. A group calling itself the Islamic Struggle Organization calleda local news organization immediately after the blast to claim responsibility. The same group previously said it was responsibile for two grenade attacks that wounded five U.S. Marines on March 16. A spokesman for President Reagan denounced the bombing as a \despicable terrorist act.\ \It is particularly horrible that it happened at this embassy where Americans and Lebanese are working side by side in one of the most difficult environments. They work in support of efforts to bring peace to Lebanon and the region,\ White House spokes- Ridership Figures Up For Local Bus Service Five months after pur- chasingbus routes in Orleans County from the Greyhound Bus Co., officials of the Cheektowaga-based D and F Transit Co. are pleased with the progress of bus service in thearea. D and F purchased the local routes, including runs to Buffalo and Rochester from Greyhound last November after Greyhound claimed ridership was falling to the point where the local runs were no longer profitable. However, D and F, only a week after taking over the local routes, added runs from Buffalo and Rochester to Albion and Medina, bringing to three the regular daily runs from Orleans County to each of the two major cities. \It's been a great thing for D ° and F,\ Phillip Harris, of D and F, said. \I have not changed my opinions about the Rochester-Buffalo corridor as a profitable area for bus service. It has taken time to promote ourselves, but it is showing that we are being well-received in the area There are no negatives.\ Harris said that ridership levels for the Rochester- Buffalo routes have been up \slightly\ since D and F purchased the runs. \'It fluctuates from week to week. but overall, Pd say we're averaging about 900-980 gags-angers per week,\ Harris In Orleans County for the first three months of 1983, figures show that D and F buses have traveled nearly 13,500 miles and carried more than 2,200 passengers, figures which Harris called \good.\ Those figures will be provided to the state Department of Transportation as part of a statewide program to lend operation assistance to bus finps like D and F. According - to - County Planning director Patrick Rountree, who supervises transportation matters, the has cent, or $3,400 with the county putting in the remaining 50 per cent. Rountree explained that no county funds are actually used in the subsidy program since, in this case, D and F will make a '\'donation'' of $3,400 to the county, money which will be forwarded to the state with the subsidy. application. The state then adds its share and sends D and F a check for the full $6,800. Harris said that in addition to sponsorship from Orleans County, D and F has received sponsorships from - Erie, Niagara and Monroe counties which is expected to con siderably increase the subsidy the firm will receive to operate in those counties. \We hope to have all the subsidies working by the middle of the year,\ Harris said. \But we are in the transportation business and we'll do anything we can to Tax on Interest, Dividends improve transportation in those areas. As far as we're concerned once we get established, our business can only increase.\ Meanwhile, the potential pull out of Greyhound service in other parts of the state has apparently been halted by the inclusion of $700,000 in the 1983- 84 state budget for additional bus subsidies. According to Rountree, the additional funds signal a \realization\ by the state about the importance of public transportation in rural aréas. ''The state is now realizing that the full deregulation of bus travel could have very negative impacts on rural areas,\ Rountree said. \By its actions, the state is making a concrete statement that some level of bus service is needed in rural areas.\ man Larry Speakes said, reading a statement he said represented Reagan's view. Speakes would not directly confirm that Americans were killed, but said two of the dead wore Marine uniforms. The explosion blew off Hg entire front of the building, toppled the embassy's main pillars and sent concrete floors crashing down on those working in front The streets were strewn with bodies. \It ripped out eight front offices and the snack bar, which must have had 15 or 20 people in it,\ said Kurt Shafer, a foreign aid officer who was knocked from his chair on the back of the seventh floor. \It was bad that it happened at lunchtime.\ _- The entire consular section was destroyed and there were a ''number of employees trapped in the rubble,\ Speakes told reporters in Washington. A fire broke out on the building's ground floor and-at least 10 cars outside were engulfed in flames. The bomb went off shortly after 1 p.m. either just in front of the mission or just inside the front door. Some reports said the explosion was caused by a car bomb. The highway outside the building was jammed with midday traffic. Ambassador Robert Dillon was in the bulding at the time, but was reported to be \all right\ by political officer Ryan Crocker, who stood on the wreckage-strewn sidewalk di- recting Marines. U.S. envoys Philip Habib and Morris Draper, in Beirut for troop withdrawal talks between Israel and Lebanon, were not at the embassy and were safe, a White House spokesman said. ''The hospital is a disaster area. Casualties are being brought in every minute,\ UPI free-lance photographer Pierre Sabbagh said from American University Hospital. \The whole facade of the seven-story building is ripped apart. It's a mess of concrete and metal rubble,\ UPI corre spondent Peyman Pezman re ported from the scene of the burning embassy The body of one man, cut in half, lay in the middle of the street - so blackened most people ran by without noticing.

Survivors on the top floor of the burning building were calling for help and lowering attache cases of vital papers to Marines who rushed to the scene. Relatives of U.S. Embassy employees - most of them Lebanese - collapsed on the glass-covered sidewalks when they saw the wreckage. Black smoke billowed from the fires on the ground floor and the charred cars around the buil- ding. Almost 100 Marines, rushed into the area from their base in the south of Beirut, formed a ring around the smoking ruins of the embamy French peace-keepers and Lebanesearmy soldiers formed 'a barrier around the building while a bulldozer came in to lift the concrete rubble from bodies. 'A U.S. helicopter carrier and a' destroyer sped around the end of the peninsula of west Beirut. The destroyer, with its formidable array of firepower, remained off shore from the embassy. The attack came minutes after U.S. Marine commander Col. James Mead warned that a Moslem Shiite faction was believed responsible for recent attacks on Marines, including a shooting incident Sunday night. Epton Wants To Buy Paper And Fire 2 CHICAGO (UPI) - Bernard Epton, who blames his loss in last week's mayoral election on biased reporting, wants to buy the Chicago Sun-Times and says he would immediately fire two of its columnists, including Mike Royko. Eptonhadspecificcomplaints against several columnists, including the Sun-Times' Roger Sunon - whom he called \slime\ - and Royko, its syndicatedcolumnist.
