HAITIANS; AA The Miami News Saturday, August 7, 1982 Miami businessman seeks to soothe Al Fassi's feelings from 1 A Old-fashioned hoe-down to greet sheik MARY SPECK Miami Mean Staff -V. re processing and transporting Haitian to their new; homes. So far, however, no contract for. reimbursement has been signed. Holcomb said the Immigration Service added another demand to the contract negotiations this week: the agencies must agree to tell the government, 90 days each Haitian is freed, whether the refugee is But Wynne said the agencies are not particularly troubled by that.

Negotiations were previously stalled while the agencies searched for an insurance company willing issue a policy for the refugees, but that problem has been resolved, Wynne said. "So far as I know, everything else is clear (except the no-welfare guarantee)," Wynne said. Wynne said if the government insists on the no-welfare guarantee, the agencies complain to the select committee appointed by Spellman to oversee the Haitians' release. The committee will meet: next week. i prevent them from seeking welfare if they're entitled to It." The agencies have been asked to support the refugees with food, clothing and housing for 120 days after their release.

Wynne said some of the agencies fear that the no-welfare guarantee the government wants would force them to give the Haitians an income equal to. what they would receive on welfare. "In Florida where $119 a month is the welfare base that's no big thing." Wynne said. "But" we'll be placing people in New York, Philadelphia, California places with high levels of welfare. There's no way we can maintain them at the welfare rate.AVe have no intention of setting up an alternate welfare system for Haitian de-tainees." A spokesman for the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement has said the government "probably" will agree sometime to helpv the resettlement agencies with some of the bills for interviewing, Walker said the guests will represent the cream of the Miami business community, with a smattering of local "We wanted it to be a fun night to let him know there are still Americans in America not just those terrorists who have been sniping at him since he came here." All Laggoune, the sheik's personal secretary, said Al-Fassi is looking forward to the hoe-down, his first foray into Miami society since the Diplomat dispute.

"His excellency is very excited about this," said Laggoune. "Mr. Yanks said the response to his invitations was massive." "There will always be a small minority of people who just cannot accept the idea of having a famous representative of the Arab world here In the heart of Miami. "But they're a small minority. The majority in South Florida and the United States love the sheik and want him to stay.

He's a part of Miami now." Yanks. "Then he's going to talk about his Intentions. He wants to live here for at least six months a year. And he's going to invest about $200 million in local industry." Walker said the party is meant to sooth the sheik's hurt feelings following what he sees as mistreatment by the Diplomat Hotel and at the hands of a scandal-hungry press. Al-Fassi recently paid the hotel $1.45 million In overdue bills in a controversy that brought his arrest on a later-dropped on a bad-check charge.

The get-together, Walker said, is also designed to reassure Americans that the sheik's millions will be used to fill one of South Florida's most pressing needs jobs. "He's got a lot of bad press and it has hurt him emotionally," said Walker. "He's an immigrant in a strange country, just trying to do as the Romans do." "But he didn't know how until we told him. Everyone hates the sheik because they think he just makes money now he's going to make jobs." Businessman Jack Yanks and friends are giving Miami's misunderstood Sheik Mohammed Al-Fassi a foot-stomping, thigh-slapping, hoe-down of a "welcome" into the city where he's lived for two years. And they believe the sheik will respond to American hospitality with Middle-Eastern munificence by staying In Miami and investing $200 million in South Florida industry.

Yanks, president of Universal Property Management is hosting an "old-fashioned, outdoor, hoe-down and bar-b-que" for Al-Fassi and about 400 prominent South Floridians tonight in North Miami Beach. Guests will dance to the blue-grass music of Western Electric. The sheik Is expected to make a speech. "The sheik Is going to tell the community how pleased he is with their welcome into Miami," said Fred Walker, who described himself as a business associate and spokesman for LEBANON, from 1A Man slain, half-brother shot in cheek at hotel LUISA YANEZ Miami Mews Reperfer "will continue to broadcast no matter what." Meanwhile, the radio appealed for diesel fuel, asking people to bring in any they could spare to keep the radio on the air while the Israelis continue their blockade of west Beirut. The diesel fuel is needed for the station's generator.

Despite it all, the negotiations continued. Yasser Arafat, chairman of the PLO, seems determined to get his forces out of Lebanon with their lives and honor intact, after which the PLO would claim the political victory of having held off the Israeli army longer than any Arab country and would still be a viable force to fight for Palestinian nationhood. Government officials said the only major problem now was that Syria, Jordan and Egypt had not formally agreed to accept some of the evacuated PLO fighters and Syria has not agreed to let them use its territory as a transit point. The officials said Hafez Assad of Syria, whose army once dominated Lebanese politics, was being "difficult." They said they did not know exactly what the Syrian president wanted, but it was probably some combination of money from Saudi Arabia and political recognition by the Reagan administration of Syria's central role in the Middle East and agreement on its right to regain the Golan Heights, which Israel has annexed. assurances of the maintenance of a cease-fire.

"The thing we all wanted to know from Habib now," said former Prime Minister Saeb Salam, the main intermediary between the PLO and Habib, "was what the Americans were going to do with the Israelis if we reach an agreement." The issue could provoke a diplomatic showdown between the government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, which is calling for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the 6,000 PLO fighters trapped in west Beirut, and the Reagan administration, Lebanese' officials said. Salam and Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan met Habib yesterday afternoon at the presidential palace in Baabda, overlooking Beirut, and delivered the PLO's latest answers to Habib's queries. Lebanese officials were reported to believe that the car bomb and earlier Israeli artillery barrages in the same area were intended to knock out the state-run Beirut radio, one of the few reasonably accurate sources of news. Few newspapers are publishing and the lack of electricity prevents the use of televisions. Minister of Tourism Marwan Hamadeh accused the Israelis of trying to silence the voice of the Lebanese government and said the station Israeli officials were skeptical about PLO statements that it had agreed to leave Lebanon for Syria, and later other Arab nations, within 15 days after the arrival of an advance contingent of international peacekeepers.

"Until now, all we have heard are words and more words and we don't believe them anymore," said an Israeli official in Jerusalem who requested anonymity. Despite the fact Israel has rejected the essence of the Habib plan the simultaneous deployment of a multinational force and start of the PLO withdrawal Habib is understood to have told the Lebanese negotiators the Reagan administration would throw its full weight behind the evacuation plan if and when a final accord is reached. In Jerusalem, Israeli officials said they had not received any new proposals for a PLO evacuation. According to reports from Beirut, Habib was understood to have sent Israel a set of PLO proposals he received Thursday. Although officials said a full agreement on the withdrawal of the guerrillas could take place "within a week," there were three immediate problems yet to be resolved.

They include the timing of the withdrawal of 6,000 Palestinian fighters trapped in west Beirut and the final destination of the guerrillas. The third problem is "One man did all the shooting." Police, said they don't know what prompted the shooting. "He ran down carrying his broth-' er, yelling at people in the lobby to 1 call an ambulance," a neighbor said of Ramos, who did not want to be identified. "There was blood all over his face and he was hysterical and kept saying 'Why did they shoot my brother? He didn't do anything, he didn't do the neighbor said. Police have a warrant for the arrest of Sergio Isaac-Duarte, 26, be-' lieved to be the gunman.

The slain man was shot four times, police said. The bullet that struck Ramos in the face exited through the back of his head. He was reported in satisfactory condition today at Mount Sinai Medical Center. A man shot in the face in a Miami Beach hotel room managed to carry his wounded half-brother down three flights of stairs to get him help, Miami Beach police said, but his effort was to no avail. Juan Chevarria-Rodriguez, 36, died on the terrace of the Nemo, Hotel shortly after 9 o'clock last night and Jesus Ramos, 35, was brought to a local hospital with a bullet wound in his right cheek, said Miami Beach police detective Dan Pender.

The two victims, tenants of the hotel at 116 Collins where in their third-floor room with a group of men when the shooting occured. "There was a disturbance in the room and shots broke out," said, Miami Beach Sgt. Chuck Press.

HWV Brenasons. aunai in ade MemorlafPark DlXlb 5IXIE ATHENS A British couple vacationing in Greece were sentenced yesterday to two months imprisonment for making love in public.

The court in Nafplion, southern Greece, called their act "a disgrace to their generation and an insult to Greek hospitality." Agnes Wright, 21, of Coventry, and Caldwell MacGuire, 24, a Manchester construction worker, were found guilty of "public embarassment and provoking a scandal through indecent public acts." The court did not allow them to appeal or buy off their sentence, and ordered them expelled from Greece when their prison time is served. Police and witnesses testified that five British vacationers were swimming in the nude at the central waterfront of Nafplion, and that the accused couple started making love on the beach, ignoring the protests of passersby. Police said a crowd of 1,000 gathered, some of whom tried to beat up the couple when they refused to stop. Wright and MacGuire denied the charges, saying they were drunk at the time, and were half-asleep when police arrested them. Wright said she was only sunbathing topless on the waterfront "and was not under any circumstances doing what I am accused of." The other three Britons were not charged.

While a special response team went to the apartment, Joel Delgado, a Spanish-speaking officer, reached the gunman on the phone. "I tried to calm him down," Delgado said, "He was talking normally, but you could tell he was upset." He also spoke with Maria and told her to leave with her daughter. "She didn't say if she could or couldn't. She was just highly hysterical." Without warning, Delgado heard screams and five shots through the line. "I thought he went crazy and started shooting at the little kid and the lady." A police spokesman said Maria and her daughter had fled the apartment moments before, but ran back in when she saw police.

Three of the gunman's shots went through the wall just to the right of the door, where Caroddo was standing. A next-door neighbor said some shots were fired at the wall between the adjoining apartment. While Caroddo was being treated at the scene, the gunman surrendered. Maria and her daughter weren't hurt. Police spokesman Ken Christoper said about half the Metro force wear bullet-proof vests.

They are are standard gear for the special response teams that answer hostage calls, he said, i Vilma Rodgriguez, the owner of the Gallardo's apartment, described the family as good, quiet tenants who are "just hardworking people." Martinez said she didn't know the details of the fight between her son and her son-and-law. "Family, work, money," she shrugged. "I know he deserves punishment, but he should be seen by someone to help him cope with his life," Martinez pleaded. "How can he get LEUTHOLD sister were raised by their grandmother. "The time in Cuba, it affected, him a lot," Martinez said of her son.

"It especially affects a young boy." Moreda had emotional problems in Cuba, she said, and had seen psychiatrists. She said Moreda was" trained in Cuba to build offshore oil rigs. In Miami, he found work in a car wash. He also helped his mother in a small enterprise, buying clothes in Newark and selling them in Miami. When Martinez married and moved out earlier this year, she asked Moreda to come with her.

He did for a while, but moved back in with his sister and her fami- iy- On Feb. 6, Martinez said, her son surprised "a tall American" trying to break into her apartment. Both fired shots and both were arrested, she said. But only her son was convicted, and sentenced to a year's probation, she said. Her son thought the judicial system treated him unfairly.

"When that happened, he turned in all his guns," Martinez said. "I want to know who gave him this gun (used in the policeman's shooting). Because of the emotional state he was In, he shouldn't have a gun." Martinez was talking to her daughter 10 minutes before it all began, about 11:20. "She said she was going to Winn-Dixie with the little girl." Just then the doorbell rang. "It must be Osvaldo," Maria said, and hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, Maria called her mother again, this time in panic. "Osvaldo and Alberto had a terrible problem," she said, and hung up. According to witnesses, Moreda met Alberto Gal-lardo in a parking lot where he was unloading furniture for the World of Rattan, near West Flagler Street and Northwest 96th Avenue.
