Israel will leave west Beirut
By The Associated Press
Israel said yesterday its troops will be out of
west Beirut by Wednesday, but did not say when
it would comply with President Reagan's de
mand for a withdrawal from both west and east
Beirut before U.S. Marines enter the Lebanese
capital.
The announcement by the military command
in Tel Aviv pointedly stated that the withdrawal
from west Beirut and the international airport
was being coordinated with the Lebanese army
and involved no other parties. It marked the first
time Israel's army set a date for leaving Moslem
west Beirut, which it entered Sept. 15.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said yesterday the
withdrawal from all of Beirut would take some
what longer, without giving any date. East Beirut
is predominantly Christian and is controlled by
Israeli-backed militiamen of the Phalange Party.
An estimated 800 U.S. Marines had been sched
uled to land in Beirut yesterday to join French
and Italian troops in an effort to help the Leb
anese government reassert its authority.
But U.S. presidential envoy Philip C. Habib
was said to have told Israeli officials the Marines
will stay offshore until all Israeli forces left
Beirut. Italy and France also said their troops,
though ashore, are not deployed.
In Washington, Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger said the landing of the Marines
depended on Israel's withdrawal from "the en
tire city," not just west Beirut and the airport.
Weinberger said the United States hoped the
Marines "can go in, probably with some luck,

Polar bear kills curious visitor
By RICK HAMPSON
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK When Central
Park zookeepers stopped the man
from climbing into a lion cage and
the elephant yard all he said was,
"You have to get close to the ani
mals." They found his body yester
day morning in the polar bear
cage.
"The bear . was toying with his
body, flipping it into the water, out
of the water," Officer Fred Elwick,
a police spokesman, said.
An autopsy yesterday indicated
the man was killed by the 1,200-
pound bear, not by a fall from the
cage's spiked 12-foot fence, accord
ing to Dr. Elliot Gross, the medical
examiner.
Gross said the death resulted
from multiple injuries, including
extensive head cuts, hemorrhages
in neck muscles and puncture
wounds on the chest and arms. ,
The unidentified victim was de
scribed as around 30 years old, with
(tomorrow) or Wednesday."
About 670 Italian marines and paratroopers
landed in the Beirut port yesterday. Italian
Ambassador Franco Lucioli Ottieri said they
would not be deployed in west Beirut until the
Israelis are out.
Ottieri said the Italians would establish bar
racks at a school in Baabda, five miles east of
Beirut, and in other nearby schools.
A contingent of 330 French paratroopers ar
rived in Beirut on Saturday, joining 350 French
men who. had landed Friday. French
Ambassador Paul Marc Henry said the troops
will stay at the ambassador's residence, the
nearby French Cultural Center and the port.
Sixty French troops yesterday moved into an
area near the Sabra and Chatilla camps where
hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese refugees
were massacred by Christian militias Sept. 16-18.
Maj. Jean-Claude Villevielle, a spokesman for
the French forces, said the troops are mostly
engineers "on a humanitarian mission" to sweep
for mines while the digging continues fol. bodies
of more massacre victims.
"There is absolutely no deployment," he said
The Israelis went in to the former PLO strong
hold Sept. 15, saying the military drive was
necessary to prevent Christian-Moslem blood
shed after the assassination of then President
elect Bashir Gemayel, a Christian. After the
Palestinian refugee camp massacre by Christian

"He didn't look like a real der
elict. He was by no means out of
shape," Sgt. James Napolitano of
the Central Park precinct said.
Zoo employees had escorted the
man out of the zoo twice on Satur
day —, first after he climbed over a
3-foot fence and• had to be stopped
from walking through the wide bars
of the elephant yard, and later
when he tried to climb the 6-foot
fence around the lion cage.
"He wouldn't answer, he just
stared at me," John Adornetto, zoo
supervisor, said. "All he said was,
`You have to get close to the ani
mals.' "
The man was last seen alive
around 2 a.m., when watchmen
found him standing near the lion
cage.and ordered him outside the
zoo compound's locked 12-foot
fence.
Adornetto said the man apparent
ly gained entry ' again later by
climbing three barriers: the com-
pound fence, the 6-foot fence
around the cage and the 12-foot
cage bars that are spiked and
curved at the top.
The white bear, named Scandy
after his native Scandanavia,
stands about 11 feet. The 9-year-old
animal had no record of particular
ly aggressive behavior since com
ing to the zoo in 1976, officials said.
When Napolitano arrived at the
scene shortly after 7 a.m., the bear
had been moved into a spare cage
nearby.
"He was very calm. He wasn't
growling or anything," he said.
Although the victim had several
wounds, including a head puncture,
"there wasn't a lot of blood. He
hadn't been mauled," Adornetto
said.
But Elwick said the bear had
moved the man's body about the
600-square-foot cage, and dipped it
into the cage's pool.
Adornetto said it was the zoo's
first human fatality ever.
month
Lebanese President Amin Gemayel, brother of
the assassinated Bashir Gemayel, met yesterday
with Habib's assistant Morris Draper, Ottieri and
Henry, to discuss deployment plans of the multi
national force, Lebanon's state radio reported.
Gemayel has taken personal command of the
3,100-man Lebanese army.
The Israeli command said the decision to
withdraw from west Beirut and the airport south
of the capital followed an agreement with the
Lebanese army, which it said will take responsi
bility for the evacuated areas.
In Israel, Defense Ministry spokesman Uri Dan
said after a meeting of Habib and Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon on Saturday that reports
from White House sources saying Habib had
given an ultimatum were "groundless."
The military command announcement was
made a few hours before Israel radio and tele
vision went off the air and public and private
businesses shut down 'for the holiest day on the
Hebrew calendar, Yom Kippur,• which began at
sunset yesterday.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin scheduled a
Cabinet meeting for tomorrow, and Israel Radio
predicted he would have to give in to pressure for
a full-scale inquiry into Israel's role in the Chatil
la and Sabra massacre. The radio said five of the
20 members of Begin's Cabinet have decided that
the government's •proposal of ' a more limited
inquiry was not good enough.
Lebanese chief prosecutor Camille Geagea
said 597 bodies had been found at the camps.

Testimony shows
sexual
By RUTH LANDA
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK Robyn Arnold paid for the surgery
that transformed her boyfriend, John Delia, into a
woman named Diane. Robert Ferrara married the
transsexual, who had once been his homosexual lover.
Now, Arnold, a 26-year-old nurse, and Ferrara, a 23-
year-old bartender, are accused of firing two bullets
each into Diane Delia Ferrara's head and dumping the
body into the. Hudson River off Manhattan.
Testimony in their murder trial shows a tangle of
sexual identity and jealousy among the suspects and
the victim.
Jealousy over the transsexual model and nightclub
performer's "real and imaginary betrayals" was de
scribed by Assistant District Attorney SteOben Saracco
as the defendan6' motive for allegedly killing Mrs.
Ferrara last Oct. 7 or early Oct. 8. The 22-year-old
transsexual's body, wrapped in a blanket and bound
with rope, turned up Oct. 28 in the river.
The slaying occurred, according to prosecution wit
nesses, at a time when the transsexual was planning to
divorce Ferrara and move from Westchester County to
New York to concentrate on her career.
In the. days before the victim's disappearance, Miss
Arnold allegedly expressed anger about Mrs. Ferra
ra's flirtations with other people.
Saracco says the prosecution's case will end this
week following testimony that the defendants admitted
firing the fatal shots. Last week, there was testimony
that before the victim turned up dead, Ferrara sold for
$l4O the diamond wedding ring he had reported her
wearing when she was last seen.
The victim was described by her stepmother, Pat
ricia Delia, as a person Who underwent a sex-change
operation in November 1980 because she thought Fer

The father, consistently referring to Mrs. Ferrara in
masculine terms, told the jury that after the sex
