Russia builds forces near Iran
WASHINGTON—The Russian Army has increased the strength and readiness of some of its motorized rife divisions north of Iran, U.S. intelligence
At the same time, Pentagon officials announced that a combat force of Russian Marine with equipment to support a landing force had arrived in Ukraine.
The intelligence sources, who asked to remain anonymous, said the strengthened Soviet army units in the Transcaucasus region of Russia north of Moscow were able to keep track of him.
But these sources express no serious concern that the Russians might be preparing a strike into Iran similar to their invasion of neighboring Afghanistan.
The arrival of the Soviet marine force, following the recent deployment of an 1,800-man U.S. Marine battalion into the Arabian Sea aboard a Navy task group, represented another escalation in the show of force by both the United States and Russia since the Red Army invaded Afghanistan.
Begin wants six weeks of talks
WASHINGTON-Iraeli Prime Minister Menachen Begin proposed to President Carter yesterday that six weeks of non-stop negotiations be held in the Middle East to try to reach an agreement about the future of Arab Palestinians, diplomatic sources said.
The talks would be held by the Israeli and Egyptian negotiating teams that in 10 months have been unable to resolve any of the key issues involved in formulating an autonomy plan for 1.2 million Palestinians now living under Israeli control.
The Egyptians are believed to favor shifting the negotiations here toward the end of the month, relocating the teams headed by Egyptian Prime Minister Hosni Moussa.
Carter informed the prime minister that he would sound out Egyptian President Awad Sarat for his views, the sources said.

Jean-Paul Sartre dead at 74
PARIS- Jean-Paul Sarte, whose philosophy of existentialism dominated Paris in the 19th century and was a long illness, the French news paper *Le Journal france-France* reported. He was living at
Sartre wanted his materialist philosophy to help mankind shake off oppression and inequality. But his message was too intellectual to appeal to the masses.
Paradoxically, he had the greatest impact among the middle class from which he came and whose values he rejected.
Feminist author and fellow playwright Simone de Beauvill, his companion for more than half a century, said, "Sartre was for the masses, but they were not."
Nearly blind for the last years of his life, Sartre's achievements made him a legend in his lifetime. He was one of the most prestigious playwrights and novelists in the French language, as well as an impassioned—although often ineffectual—defender of what he saw as justice.
The existential doctrine, as expounded by Sartre, holds that man by himself is nothing, a creature without soul or meaning. Only man's commitment to a cause, his conscious participation, makes him different from other people. It also explains why forking is for the freedom of choice. Man alone is responsible for his own destiny.
DES was used in 115 feedlots
WASHINGTON—The government sharply increased yesterday its estimate of violations of its ban on DES, saying 115 feedlots in 16 states—including 43 in Kansas —had treated at least 344,000 animals illegally with the cancer-causing drug.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Agriculture Department, which announced the new figures, also increased from 35 to 41 of the number of days that a contaminated steer must be held before it could be slaughtered and sold for meat. The waiting period is allowable to DES residues to be excreted from the animals; bodies.
The agencies have found that 24 distributors made DES implants available to feedlots after the cutoff date set by the government last year.
DES or dethylylstibestol is a cancer-cause agent in animals and humans which leaves traces in animal tissue.
The government banned use of the substance in animals destined for the market. The ban was imposed on sale of DES was to be distribution and sale of DES was to end as of Nov. 19.
FDA spokesman Wayne Pines said that although some contaminated meat may have slipped through to consumers, it posed no immediate health hazard.
Farmer cancer deaths studied
IOWA CITY, Iowa—The death rate for Iowa farmers from six kinds of cancer is much higher than for non-farmers, a university research team reported
The University of Iowa researchers based the study on death certificates from 1971 to 1978 of 20,311 white Iowa men. They found farmers more likely to die from leukemia and prostatic, lip, stomach, bone marrow and lymphatic cancer than non-farmers.
Leon Burmester, director of the project and an associate professor of preventive medicine and environmental health, said cancer was considered an important problem.
"Yet, we are finding that healthy farm life has its cancer risks," he said.
Burnsemeir said the researchers were comparing Iowa's statistics with those of Kansas and also with additional information available in Iowa to see whether a relationship could be found between types of cancer and types of agricultural activity.
Temperature controls extended
WASHINGTON—Americans can get ready for another hot summer with President Carter's decision yesterday to extend mandatory temperature controls covering 2.8 million offices, shops and other non-residential buildings for nine months.
The program had been the subject of an intense debate among administration attorneys. Some argued that the law only allowed imposition of the temperature at the president made a finding of a "severe energy supply interruption" in the months that last July in the midst of long gasoline lines in many parts of the country.
The regulations require setting thermostats in non-residential buildings at 78 degrees in the summer and 65 in the winter.
Hostages' messages sent home
The International Red Cross began relaying by telephone yesterday personal messages from the American hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran to their families. The delivery began only hours after the messages were handed to Red Cross representatives who visited the hostages.
Deputy Energy Secretary John Sawillh said the administration wanted to make the rules as much a part of American life as the 55 mph speed limit.
The hostages' messages were telexed from New York from Red Cross headquarters in Geneva, and two officials were on duty making the telephone calls. A Red Cross spokesman in New York, Mariane Pelizon, said the calls were made as rapidly as possible after the messages came in.
The relay was expected to take some time, however, because four hours after the first message arrived, others still were being sent on the wire from Geneva. After the messages have been telted to New York, the Red Cross will mail the original, hand-written copies to the families. Pelizona said.
Bernard Liebiekand and Harald Schmidt de Gruneck, the two Red Cross officials, said they spoke to "all the hostages," received messages from each one to deliver to the families and made a list of the captives and their home addresses.
Weather...
Skies will be mostly sunny until this afternoon, but clouds are expected to be partly cloudy. Expect winds to be southerly from 6 to 10 mph. The high will be about 88.
Tonight skies will be mostly clear,the low near 42.
High taxes blamed on Democrats
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Chooing "Tax
Republicans" yesterday blasted President
Carter and Democratic members of
Congress for soaring inflation and higher
Yesterday marked the deadline for filing federal income tax returns. By April 4, 2015, Mr. Greenfield received American tax payers who were expected to file had filed their returns and the overwhelming majority of them received averaging $89.53-$109 from a fund
Sen. Jack Danforth, R-Mo., said Carter was taking a "narrow-minded approach" to economic policy and that the administration would be expected to adopt economic approach next November."
In the Senate, Sen. Bill Roth, R-Del., said Carter's budget for fiscal 1881 would raise taxes to the highest level in history.
HE ESTIMATED THAT the average American household paid more than $6,100 in federal taxes for 1979 and would pay $7,800 under the new Carter budget.
"America is losing its shirt to Jimmy Carter's high taxes and the big spending Congress." Rob said.
On the House side, the assault was led by Republican leader John Ribbons of Arizona, who said Democrats in Congress had to take precedence over Republicans inading and taxes because they are the major targets.
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., said Americans filling their tax returns were being told there was tax reduction, but were actually paying the $15 billion an automatic "hidden tax" due to inflation.
BECAUSE OF inflation, Dole said, taxpayers will pay about $11.5 billion more in 1979 taxes.
"Just during the years of the Carter administration, the Democrats who run Congress have increased taxes by 30 percent in their household." Rhodes said. "In '1980, taxes
will increase by another $66 billion. And in 1818 the tax bill will worsen by a staggering $62 billion—unless the American people stand up and say they've had enough.
RHOES SAID inflation could best be controlled through a Republican-proposed tax cut of $23 billion.
While it may have an inflationary impact at first, he said, the eventual effect would be to encourage more investment in productive industries and increase the value of more goods to help hold down prices.
Joining in the criticism were assisted Republican leader Robert Michel of Illinois, Rep. Guy Vander Jagt, R-Mich., and Rep. Mickey Ederaws, R-Okla.
At one point the GOP lawnmakers rolled out a long computer printout of tax-cutting bills that they said the Democratic Party was keeping bottled up in committee.
The higher taxes, be said, were due "to excesses of the Democrat-controlled congress."
The Conservative Caucus, Rep. Samuel Devine, R-Ohio, said he had found during last week's congressional recess that the "actually outraged" by higher taxes.
AT ANOTHER news conference called by
Meanwhile, President Carter, whose net winthed stock surpassed in 1979, is seeking an income tax refund from the White House, with $1,000,000, the White House disclosed yesterday.

Thus, the Carters' net worth was $893,904.35.
Their total tax bill was $64,944.81 on an adjusted income of $183,923.77
