By FAROUK NASSAR
Associated Press Writer
BEIRUT, Lebanon Searchers
recovered six more bodies from
the bomb-shattered U.S. Embassy
yesterday and continued their
grim task, with at least 47 people
believed killed in the worst attack
ever on a U.S. facility here.
There were 24 confirmed deaths
and 23 other people were missing
and presumed dead.
Embassy spokesman John Reid
said eight Americans were' con
firmed dead and eight others were
missing from the massive explo
sion at lunchtime Monday. Among
the confirmed dead was Robert
Clayton Ames, the ClA's Near
East and South Asian analyst,
officials
.said in Washington in a
rare case of naming a CIA agent
who worked abroad.
There was no clear picture of
how the attack was carried out,
but most accounts said a terrorist
drove an explosives-laden vehicle
into the compound and perished in
the blast.
Ten Lebanese embassy employ
ees, visa applicants and visitors
were confirmed dead, while 20
others were missing, said Reid.
The 47th victim listed was an
embassy visitor of unknown na
tionality, he said.
The privately owned Central
News Agency said the bombing

were not available for comment on
that report.
Habib went to the embassy at
midday yesterday and later flew
to Israel. He did not attend yester

Lebanese talks on troop withdra

After Reid's announcement,

affected the breakdown of casual

Police' said 120 people were
wounded in the explosion; includ

the victims were taken, said 66
injured had been discharged while
another 19 remained hospitalized.
The bodies were removed from

concrete left in huge piles by the
bomb. It blasted off the center
facade, collapsed all seveh floors
in the central section and caused
heavy damage to the two wings.

Gandhi, India's "great soul" and
a leader of the independence
movement, for years urged his
countrymen to spin and wear khadi
(homespun cotton cloth),. both to
weaken the British textile industry
here and because he believed people
should work for what they receive.
Today, synthetic "tericot" is
fashionable. Khadi is out.

He was a living saint to hundreds
of millions of Indians by the time
independence was won from Britain
in 1947. To the political leaders who
engineered the changeover, he was
an ideologue and a weapon but
sometimes exasperatingly unprag
matic.
Gandhi's greatest wish was that
India remain whole after indepen-
home
dence. The politicians of two lands
again ignored him and, hoping to
avoid the massive violence that
nonetheless followed, split the sub
continent into Mostly Hindu India
and predominantly Moslem West
and East Pakistan later Pakistan
and Bangladesh.
When Gandhi, who was assassi
nated in 1948, began a fast until
death, people stopped killing people
and governments were moved.
Today, 'a popular form of protest
in India is the relay hunger strike,
where people sit and refuse food for
as little as an hour or two until'their
place is taken by others.

When Gandhi called for massive
civil disobedience, hundreds of
thousands of Indians stopped work
and demonstrated, paralyzing the
country.
Today, there is India's version of
the "rent-a-crowd," which for a
wad of banknotes can lend weight to
a protest. Just provide the slogans.

Reagan supports new plan
By TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON President
Reagan embraced a plan yester
day to build 100 MX missiles and
put them in existing launch silos,
promising it "will mean a safer,
more secure America" and put
pressure on Moscow to negotiate
nuclear arms cuts.
Even congressional critics con
, ceded the proposal has a far better
chance of winning approval than
Reagan's first two attempts to
deploy the MX.
"Preserving the peace requires
more than wishful thinking and
vague good intentions," Reagan
said. "Concrete, positive action is
required to free the world from the
spectre of nuclear conflict."
The plan, drafted by the Presi
dent's Commission on Strategic
FOrces, calls for putting the MX,
armed with 10 nuclear warheads,
in Minuteman missile silos near
Warren Air Force Base in Wyom
ing, and beginning work on a new,
single-warhead missile to be re
ady for deployment in the early
19905.
Deploying the MX missile and
developing the smaller, single
warhead weapon, sometimes
dubbed "Midgetman" would cost
$19.9 billion over the next five
years, according to commission
estimates. That would be in addi
tion to $4 billion already spent on
MX research.
"Make no mistake," Reagan
said. "Unless we modernize our
land-based missile systems, the
Soviet Union will have , no real
reason to negotiate meaningful
reductions. If we fail to act, we
cannot reasonably expect an ac-

ceptable outcome in Our arms
control negotiations."
Rep. Joseph Addabbo, D-N.Y.,
who helped marshal a 69-vote
margin of defeat for Reagan's MX
plan in the House last December,
predicted it would be rejected
again. "I don't believe it will be as
wide a margin as we had last
year," Addabbo said. He pre
dicted MX foes will win by less
than 10 votes this time.
Rep. Jack Edwards, R-Ala., a
key backer, said: "I'm going to
get a lot of Addabbo's votes. I
think it's going to pass by a
squeaker."
House Republican Leader Rob
ert Michel, an MX supporter, said
that if Addabbo was counting on
winning by less than 10 votes, "I
have to be optimistic about it.'
Standing in the driveway outside
the White House, Michel said:
"We only elect one president at a
time. Members (of Congress) are
going to think a second and a third
time before really cutting the legs
out from under our negotiating
team in Geneva."
House Democratic Leader Jim
Wright predicted the plan would
be approved.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said Addabbo, chpirman
of the Appropriations defense sub
committee, has agreed to separate
the MX plan from the defense
budget, and to begin work on it
next week.
The administration is trying to
sell the MX package as the prod
uct of a bipartisan commission,
just as it promoted the Social
Security bailout plan drafted by a
bipartisan group.

Abortion amendmeit sent to Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) The Sente judiciary committee voted
yesterday to send to the Senate flor, without recommendation, a
proposed constitutional amendmat to undo the 1973 Supreme
Court ruling that legalized abortion
The action came after the commtee tied 9-9 on the amendment,
sponsored by Seri. Orrin G. Hatch, t-Utah, which says: "The right
to abortion is not secured by this (insitutiton."
The amendment, if passed by both houses of Congress and
ratified by 38 states, would not outlay abortion, nor would it restore
old laws struck down by the 1973 ecision. But it would empower
both the states and Congress to enct new bans or restrictions.
Under committee rules, the legilation could not be sent to the
floor with a tie vote. However, Senioseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., the
ranking committee Democrat whwoted against the amendment,
proposed that the panel send it to he floor without recommenda
tion, which it did by voice vote
