A Beirut peace committee agreed in principle to the deployment today of police in three Palestinian refugee camps as part of a Syrian-brokered truce between Shia Muslim militiamen and Palestinian guerrillas after a month of fighting. Political sources, however, said some police are reluctant to move into the camps because the Palestinians may not have surrendered all their weapons. Shia fighters of the Amal militia continued to occupy key positions around two of the camps, Chatilla and Borj el Brajne.
