Sources close to the negotiations said, however, that the hijackers had demanded freedom Monday only for the three men among the 17 who have been sentenced to death. Kuwait apparently rejected the modified demand. In Kuwait, Foreign Minister Sheik Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah said his country was prepared to lose more hostages rather than give in to terrorism. "We will try our utmost to protect our dear ones aboard the plane, but we will not surrender to any black mail, even if we lose more of them," Israel captured from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Middle East War. The eight Arabs were taken to southern Lebanon in two helicopters. The United States condemned the deportations. Six Palestinians from Beita, a West Bank village where an Israeli girl and two Arabs were killed in a clash last week, were among the 12 against whom the army issued deportation orders.

There are 52 people aboard the Boeing 747, including three members of the Kuwaiti royal family, as well as the hijackers, who are masked by blue hoods fashioned from airline pillow cases and armed with grenades and handguns. Sabah said there are at least eight hijackers, all of them Arabs, carrying forged passports. Four of the hijackers have Bahraini passports, three have Iraqi passports and one has a Colombian passport, he said. He sidestepped a question about whether the jet would be stormed, saying that was a matter for the for inciting violence purpose of the expulsions was to appease right-wing politicians and Jewish settlers who were angered by an army report that said Tirza Porat, 15, was killed by a bullet from another settler's gun. Residents of the territories com plied with Palestine Liberation Organization orders to close stores Monday and stay home from jobs in Israel. Underground leaflets called for a "day of firebombs" on April 21. In Washington, State Department spokesman Charles Redman said, "We strongly oppose deportations from the occupied territories,' which he described as "counterproductive. . . . They only further inflame passions." Redman said the practice violates international human rights agree ments to which Israel is a signatory. The Geneva Convention bars expul Lobby but I don't know how it can be best addressed," she said. The new bill, if introduced, will propose funding for the expansion of existing public preschool pilot pro grams and federally funded preschool programs, and the creation of 36 more pilot programs, Segal said.

The man killed Monday was pushed from the blue-and-white plane at 3:07 p.m. (8:07 a.m. EDT) after Cypriot officials ignored two deadlines to refuel the jet.

Army helicopters took the eight deportees to southern Lebanon, carrying some personal belongings in plastic bags. They were offered medical examinations, and two taxis took them to Rashaya in the foothills of Mount Hermon in the Syrian controlled Bekaa valley, Israeli army radio and Lebanese police reported. The army described them as "lead ing activists in terror organizations," and said some were "organizers and instigators" of anti-Israeli protests. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said on Israel radio: "We are not expelling residents. We are only expelling agitators, preachers (of violence) and extremists. The past has proven that expulsions are one of the most effective deterrents." proposes will target children from low-income backgrounds, Segal said. "It's almost a system of apartheid," he said. "Forty percent of the children from low-income families fail first grade. One way to change this is to make sure these kids have resources available through preschool." Administrative problems may be a o Catholic bishops release draft of report concerning women From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON U.S. Roman Catholic bishops released the first draft of a pastoral letter on women Monday that breaks little new ground on women's role in the church but does condemn sexism and urges priests to be more sensitive to women's concerns. The 164-page document recom mended that women play more of a leadership role in the church and suggests further study of the possibility of installing women as permanent deacons. However, the bishops stopped short of recommending that women be ordained as priests. They said "there is in the Roman Catholic church an unbroken tradition of calling only men to the ministerial priesthood" and that "the church is not free to depart from that tradition." A final draft of the pastoral letter is expected to be presented to the full body of U.S. bishops in November 1989 and, if approved, would become part of Catholic teachings. Cleanup begins after explosion ISLAMABAD, Pakistan U.S. and Pakistani bomb disposal experts Monday began to defuse thousands of deadly missiles and grenades strewn around the capital after an explosion at an ammu nition dump killed 93 people and injured 1,100. Security forces and rescue teams stumbling block for the proposal, Segal said. "As students, we just care about the kids, not administrative prob lems,w he said. "No one is against the idea, but legislators' first question is 'how much does that cost?' "When I see what happens to kids who are being thrown away by the system, I feel it in my soul and in my heart. I don't think legislators feel it." The new and expanded programs will be well worth the cost, Segal said. "It costs $3,400 for a kid to repeat Center "The existing septic system may not be adequate for the increased load which will be placed upon it, and I know of no way to alleviate that problem," he said. Raney, who lives across the street from the proposed new house, said the site seems ideal. "It is a really big house, up to three times as big as some of the houses in Dogwood Acres," he said. Any risk to the neighborhood is minimal, Raney said.

President Mohammed Zia Ul had refused to speculate on the cause of the fire which ignited the ammunition dump explosion at Ojeri camp between the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Zia said reports that some of the ordnance was earmarked for Moslem guerrillas in Afghanistan and that some empty casings bore Chinese labels were "nothing but speculation a high measure of speculation." Appointment offer surfaces WASHINGTON Attorney General Edwin Meese discussed giving his longtime friend, Robert Wallach, a key Justice Depart ment post a week or so before being notified formally that Wall ach was under criminal investiga tion in the Wedtech scandal, a lawyer for Meese said Monday. Meese is on a trip to South America this week and was not immediately available for comment. Around April 8, 1987, the attorney general was notified formally under an adminstrative mechanism involving the FBI that Wallach had become a subject of the criminal investigation into scandal-plagued Wedtech Corp. from page 1 the first grade," he said. "Why don't we just invest in preschools now?" Low-cost or public preschool programs have been working in other states for 25 years, Segal said. Children in these programs have done better than other children from the same economic background because they attended preschool, he said. "A child's cognitive growth is most rapid between birth and age five," he said. "From age three to age four is when you can most affect kids thinking. It's common sense to get the kids in preschool at age 3 or 4." from page 1 and never had any problems with them," he said. Raney said he voted for the permit, though, from a purely unemotional standpoint. "We're not supposed to take our emotions into account, and the request conforms to every require ment to my satisfaction," he said. Raney said the permit will go before the town council in June. Levine said he has no idea how the council might vote. "You never know what they might find as a relevant factor. They'll look at it from a different angle than the planning board did," he said. Levine also said that although Dogwood Acres is in under the town council's power, the residents are not citizens of Chapel Hill and thus do not have the power to vote in town elections. "This could raise a consti tutional question," he said. at M-F 9-5 Sat. 10-3 - 8394 ft.
