Saboteurs strike again in Iran
Mysterious saboteurs, who Ayatollah Ruballah Khominii are directed by Washington, struck again in Iran yesterday. They attacked the occupied U.S. Embassy in Tehran, bombed shops in two Iranian cities and tried to blow up a Tehran bridge, the Iranian news media reported.
The young militants holding the embassy said a revolutionary guard was wounded in the overnight attack by "U.S. agents," Tehran Radio reported.
In an unexpected development, American comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory met with Khomeini in Tehran. Afterward Gregory sounded hopeful about a resolution of the hostage standoff but said, "I don't think we have passed the talking stage yet."
Gregory has been in Tehran fasting for a settlement of the U.S.-Iranian confrontation. He would not say what he discussed with Khomeini.
In another hostage situation, three Arab terrorists holding at least 19 hostages at the Iranian Embassy in London let two dead deathdays pass yesterday for their captives. The Tehran government refused to negotiate on their 'blackmail' demand to release Arab prisoners in Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Gholzabad vowed eye-for-an-eye reprisals. He told the terrorists by telephone that Iran would execute the jailed American man in a court-mandated execution.
Carter predicts inflation drop
President Carter said yesterday that his administration had "turned the corner" fighting the nation's 18.3 percent inflation, while leading banks and oil companies to cut their lending rates.
"We're making good progress. Interest rates are coming down, and we have sound indications that the inflation rate will drop significantly during the summer," Carter told a group of private accounting executives invited to the White House.
Barry Bossow, Carter's former director of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, said the economy was deteriorating in "a very steady and extreme state."
However, two prominent economists disagreed, Alan Greenspan, who was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Ford administration, said. "It's going to be a horrible on recession. It's going to be terribly costly. It's going to throw a lot of people out of work."
Greenspan and Bossworth, speaking at a public forum on inflation, concurred with Carter's prediction that inflation would fall from the current annual rate of 4.3 percent to 2.6 percent in the coming years.
WASHINGTON - Col. Charles Beckwith, the tough-talking Army commando leader, said yesterday he had unhesitately recommended cancellation of last week's hostage rescue raid in Iran because the breakdown of three helicopters made it too risky.
Colonel explains rescue failure
Surfacing for the first time since the mission was scrubbed, Beekmouth clear he had no doubts his recommendation was correct, although he obviously had some reservations.
Beckwith, 51, is the commander of the 90-man Marine commando strike force. He bristled when asked about reports that he wanted to proceed with the mission even though he had only five usable helicopters, one below what planners had fixed as a safe minimum.
I'm not about to be a party to a half-assed loading of a bunch of aircraft and up and murdering a bunch of fine soldiers. Beckwith told Pentagon
He said he was told at the desert staging site that one of the helicopters could not fly. At that time, Beckwith said, he told the overall commander on the mission that the helicopter had been down.
Diplomats boucott Soviet fest
MOSCOW - Masses of Flap-waving Soviet workers filed past their leaders and across Red Square in May Day celebrations yesterday, but the ambassadors of at least 11 nations boycotted the celebration in protest of the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.
As if in response to the diplomatic boycott, the Soviets paraded a float about Afghanistan. The float depicted an outraged world public carrying a sign written in English which read, "Chinese-American Conspirations - Hands Off Afghanistan."
A sign in Russian read: 'Stop the Interference of Imperialistic Forces in Afghanistan'.
The parade followed its traditional patterns in a capital city decked top to bottom in red flags, hanners and huge portraits of national leaders.
May Day is celebrated as International Labor Day in countries around the world. Labor Day in the United States is in September.
FTC closed by lack of funding
WASHINGTON—Emnendeda in a new government policy of no-money, non-work, the Federal Trade Commission went out of business yesterday waiting for approval.
The FTC's 1,758 employees in Washington and 10 regional offices arrived for work anyway, but there was no guarantee they would be paid. Their efforts were not successful.
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill seemed in no hurry to put the emergency appropriation to vote, saying only that the House would continue its scheduled budget for fiscal year 2015.
Meanwhile, the agency's normal Laskas went undone. There was no testing of cigarettes for tar and nicotine, no fighting false business claims and no court decisions.
Dole undecided on candidacu
TOPE-KA - Aides to U.S. Sen. Bob Dole discounted yesterday new speculation that he would not seek re-election this year and would retire from candidate
They also confirmed that Dole had made no final decision on his political future.
There has been speculation for a year that Dole might not run again if he failed to win the Republican presidential nomination.
In a copyrighted story, The Squire, a Johnson County weekly newspaper, reported on an "it was learned" bass without further attribution, that Dole
Bill Katz, Dole's administrative assistant in Washington, said, "This story makes pretty good summer reading. It fiction. It's good for a vacationer."
Simpson enters Senate race
TOPEKA-John Simpson, who resigned from the state Senate a year ago,
then switched political parties and announced last July he was a candidate for
Democratic nomination, filed yesterday for the U.S. Senate with the secretary of
state's office.
Simpson, 45, a Salina attorney, is the second candidate to file for the Democrat senatorial nomination. James Maher, 42, Overland Park in-
terior.
Simpson filed amid new speculation that Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Dole might not seek re-election this year and retire from the Senate.
Asked what he knew about the speculation, Simpson told men attending his filing, "I certainly don't know about Sen. Dole's intentions, but I’ve heard

Kent State incident remembered
The Kent State incident, generally regarded as the watershed of the anti-war movement that brought down one president and persuaded his successor to abandon the U.S. commitment to Vietnam, has become a history for most of today's students at Kent.
KENT, Ohio (UPI)—The psychological
study by Dr. Robert E. West of Kent State University on May 7,
goes on, but Sunday's ceremonies marking
the anniversary of the shootings could be
a major focus.
ONE OF the wounded students, Alan Canfora, has remained active on the campus as a spokesman for a group called the Association of University Students connected with the university, sponsors a weekend of events and ceremonies each month, and has the endorsement of their families.
"I think it's going to be the last one of my type this week," Cananda said. "It will be a final tribute to the four students, but you can also send your annual commemoration on a smaller scale."
The average college student now was 10 years old. They were Robert Schreuer, Allison Krause and William Schroeder died in a 13-second barrage of Omaha gunfire that also killed him.
Canfora noted that most of those who were active in the anti-war movement 10 years ago have long since left the university and many no longer live in the area.
"This will be my last year of involvement because I'll be graduating with my master's degree this summer," he said.
minating, but the Task Force will remain.”
**CANFORA** AND **other Task Force**
members have made the rounds of the media because they have movies and speeches about the shootings.
"My role at Kent State will be terminating the Task Force will remain"
"This year we're making a big effort to get May 4 reinforced as National Students' Day as a tribute to students who were killed during the anwar movement," he said. The department of approximately 20 students killed acted the country from 1969 to the mid-1970s.
The Task Force's list of speakers for its climactic May 4 rally includes former
congresswoman Bella Abrua, civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael, activist attorney William Kunster, pacifist and activist David Dellinger, National Chairwoman Norma Becker of the War Resisters League and four of the wounded Kent State
A "peaceful" march across the campus to the Kent State Commons will precede the rally and Canoa predicts a turnout of 2,000 to 4,000 persons.
The efforts of Canfran and others to educate Kent's student body about May 4 and get students to attend the rally appears to have been at least somewhat successful.
LISA LILLIE, 18, a freshman in speech and communications from Conneaut, Ohio, said she definitely planned to attend the May 4 ceremonies.
"They've given various films and video clips of them to the shootings and the incidents leading up to the shootings and I found it really interesting. In fact, the shooting incident was one of the ones that happened."
just amazing to think that so many people could have thought to involve the Guard could have involved them. It is hard to imagine, because the campus is so beautiful that something so terrible could have happened.
"When you walk where it happened, it's
ON THE other hand, Mary Merrill, 19, a freshman from Steubenville pursuing a journalism degree, said she would not attend the ceremonies.
Dave Stevens, 19, of Manchester, Ohio,
said he had read about the shootings in
newspapers his father brought home from
his job at the Akron Beacon Journal.
"I'd like to stick around and see what happens, but I'll probably go home," she said. "I'm a little shaky about it because it's the 10th anniversary, if we were any ordinary year it wouldn't be so much. When I first applied at Ken, I said you can get her at Kent, but now I'm bother me at all. Ken will treat as radical as most people think."
"To me, personally, it doesn't bolt a lot of meaning because I wasn't here when it happened," he said. "If had been, I'm sure it would mean a lot more."
