International Swift progress in Tokyo on two major political issues was indicated as the heads of the seven major industrial democracies authorized statements on combating terrorism and promoting nuclear safety. The smooth movement toward consensus came after the host of the economic summit meeting, Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, raised the topic of nuclear safety at the start of a working dinner that was the first joint meeting of the three-day conference, officials said. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] A palace in Tokyo was fired on with five homemade rockets during welcoming ceremonies for leaders arriving for the economic summit conference, but the rockets, which traveled more than two miles, overshot their target and landed on the street and on buildings near the Canadian Embassy.

Israeli in Disguise Learns the Anguish of an Arab

Date: 05 May 1986

By Thomas L. Friedman, Special To the New York Times

In March a Jerusalem newspaper assigned a Jewish reporter to spend six weeks circulating here and in Tel Aviv disguised as an Arab. The account by the Arabic-speaking reporter, Yoram Binur, published last month in the newspaper, Kol Hair, provided sobering insights into the attitudes of some Israeli Jews toward Arabs, and the nature of relations between the two groups. The article has been widely discussed in Jewish and Arab circles. To blend in, Mr. Binur, 31 years old, grew a stubbly beard - ''about the same length as Yasir Arafat's,'' he said in an interview. He draped a black-checked Arab headdress around his neck and carried a copy of the Arabic newspaper Al Fajr with a picture of Mr. Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, on the front page. In his pocket he kept a pack of Farid cigarettes, a brand sold only in East Jerusalem, the city's predominantly Arab sector.

The cutbacks, to be achieved through layoffs and attrition, are in addition to those made last year and are aimed at all operations within the CBS Broadcast Group, comprising news, entertainment, radio, sports and the network's owned-and-operated stations. ''We see a changing environment in the industry, all you have to do is read the newspaper to see what's happening to American industry due to disinflation,'' said Gene F.
