Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir will visit Washington later this month for the first time since he assumed office. High on the agenda: improving relations that became unusually strained in the last year of his predecessor Menachem Begin's stewardship.

During her speaking appearances, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole frequently asks audiences: "If you know of anyone who wants to buy a railroad, please let me know." Now that Conrail is running steadily in the black, the Government will insist that the railroad be sold intact and not piece by piece...
