FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 21, 1984 International The U.S. Embassy was attacked by a suicide car bomber, killing at least 23 people and injuring scores in a Beirut suburb. The assailant, who died in the explosion, detonated the vehicle in front of the six-story building, devastating it. Two Americans were known to be among the dead. The embassy had recently been moved to Aukar in Christian East Beirut because it was thought to be safer than West Beirut. (Page A1, Columns 3-6.) Security measures were incomplete when the United States occupied its new embassy in Beirut, according to a senior State Department official.

ABOARD THE TRAWLER COMMUNICATOR, in the North Sea - Seventeen miles off the British coast, four American disk jockeys relax on ''Splinter Beach,'' as the upper deck of this rusty trawler is known to their fans.
