Another peace trip set
WASHINGTON CIIPIc _
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Peace
envoy Philip Habib — praised by
President Reagan for “almost
miraculous’’ success in averting a
Syrian-Israeli war — said today he will
continue his mission in the Middle East
next week.
Habib, called home this week for
consultation, visited the White House
this morning with Secretary of State
Alexander Haig to report to the
president on the results of his shuttle
diplomacy.
When Habib flew to the troubled
region three weeks ago, “the guns were
all cocked and ready to go," Reagan
said.
‘So I think it’s been a tremendously
successful, almost miraculous thing so
far that he has done, and we’re all
grateful, very grateful to you," he told
Habib before their Oval Office meeting.
Habib, speaking briefly to reporters
on the White House South I^awn after
the 45-minute session, said he will
return to the Middle East to continue
his mission “sometime next week."
His assignment was “to defuse
tensions and to create an atmosphere
where we could control events," he
said. “I’m pleased to say we were able
to do that, at least to keep the
threatened events from breaking out,"
Habib said.
“From the very verge of war, we’ve
had three weeks of peace, thanks to
Ambassador Habib,” Reagan told
reporters during a brief picture-taking
session before the meeting with his
envoy.
“I think the great measure of suc-
cess, as I say, was three weeks of
shuttle (diplomacy),’’ Reagan said
Asked whether the Israelis had
promised “tostay their hand," Reagan
said; “Well, he’s just returned, and I
haven’t had a chance to talk to him. But
as I say, I think the great measure of'
success is that he has had three weeks
of tireless shuttle diplomacy between
three capitals
Habib has been flying to Israel, Syria
and I^ebanon. But he also went to Saudi
Arabia to confer with the government
and the United States lias been relying
on Saudi assistance in seeking to keep
the peace.
Habib singled out Saudi Arabia for
“playing a helpful and constructive
role." On the other hand, he said, "The
Soviets have not been particularly
helpful."
Israel and Syria are at odds ovei
missiles Syria has placed in (<ebanon,
an occupation that triggered another
reported clash Thursday while Habib
was homeward bound
“It was clear to me that not one of the
leaders wants to go to war," Habib
said “It was also clear that the leaders
were prepared to listen to us and to see
us play the role of peacemaker. That’s
what is important."
Habib said the United States has a
unique capacity" to mediate disputes
in the Middle East, where a new clash
was reported to have flared up Thur-
sday.

who might fit the description
of a man who gunned down
Telex Corp. board Giairman
Roger M. Wheeler at a posh
country club, a detective said
today.
Detective Stanley Glanz
said composites of two men
who fled Southern Hills
Country Club following
Wednesday's slaying have
been distributed to FBI
agents and other law enforce-
ment agencies
“That is one of the things
we are asking the FBI to help
us with,” Glanz said of the
possibility of a professional
gunman. "We don’t have too
many of those type people
around here.”
“We are inquiring with
other agencies if they know of
anyone who may be or was
known to have been tied to
organized crime that might
fit our descriptions or of any
known hitmen they know of,"
Glanz said.

license plates believed
registered in Stephens
County in southern
Oklahoma
“No one actually saw the
shooting,” Glanz said. “Wit
nesses saw the suspect
moving away from Mr
Wheeler’s car."
Police sought as suspects
two wliite men believed to be
in their 40s. The men had
dark graying hair and
beards, witness said, but
detectives speculated the
suspects “gave high priority
to getting rid of the beards."
Wheeler was found
slumped in his car and died of
a bullet wound to the head.
Police said four unspent shell
cartridges were found in the
man’s lap and on the ground
