WORLD NEWS BRIEFS ISRAEL

Pope calls for prayers of peace: Pope John Paul II called on the Roman Catholic Church today to hold a world day of prayer on Sunday for the Middle East where, he said, peo­ ple are sufl'ering "unprecedented violence." In an open letter to Angelo Cardinal Sodano, the Vatican's secretary of state. the pope reiterated his alarm at what he called the "dramatic situa­ tion" in the region and said that God can change the hearts of "even the most obstinate of men." West Bank fighting continues: Israeli tanks and armored vehicles rolled into Hebron this evening, the last major West Bank city to be occupied, while Palestinians and Israelis reported heavy fighting in other parts of the West Bank, including Jenin, where Israeli soldiers were searching house to house for weapons and wanted men.

NATIONAL NEWS BRIEFS New Mexico wildfire spreads: Firefighters struggled Thursday to control a lightning-caused wildfire that kindled a 25,000- acre blaze in the Gila National Forest. Firelighters on Sunday had decided to keep a close watch on the 100-acre lire while allowing it to burn brush. But it roared out of control Wednesday morning and had scorched 10,000 acres by nightfall. The blaze was moving east Thursday near the Arizona state line and turned north later in the day, Gila spokesman Tom Williams said.
