Militants holding American hostages have agreed to allow a U.N. investigative panel and Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr to meet with their captives, Tehran radio said yesterday. The report did not give a time for the meeting.

The commission on the fifth day of its probe of charges against the deposed shah, toured a prison formerly run by the monarch's secret police and inspected the security of all government buildings.
It was tethered the approximately 50 Americans, who have been held hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Paris for 17 days, might not be freed for 10 more weeks.

14 hostages freed in Colombia
BOGOTA, -Leftist guerrillas occupying the Dominican Republic's ambassade forced 14 hostages yesterday at 10 women, but U.S. Bamasador
Three wounded men and a 15-year-old youth also were among those released, including a blind woman who was killed in a delivery mastresses, food and cigarettes to the building, but did not say what happened.
Nearly 50 persons still were being held hostage in the embassy, officials said. Acenio, together with the captive envoys of Mexico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, negotiated the release of the 14, Mexican Ambassador Ricardo Galán said in a telephone interview.
The leftists, members of the Movement-19 organization, demand $20 million ransom, release of 311 alleged political prisoners from Dominican jails, and expunge all of their records.
"We are prepared to stay here one or two months if necessary," the guerrilla leader said in a telephone interview before the release. He identified himself as a spokesman for the group.
NRC to allow plant testing
WASHINGTON—The Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted yesterday to issue a license for testing of a new nuclear power plant in Tennessee, ending a self-imposed moratorium in effect since the Three Mile Island accident nearly a year ago.
The decision to permit the testing came several hours after NCRI chairman John F. Abearne said he did not expect Tuesday's nuclear plant accident in Iraq.
However, Aherne told a Senate subcommittee he wouldn't make a final decision until he had received a full report on the Florida incident. He said
The engineering firm of Babcock & Wilcox designed the reactors at both the Crystal River plant on Florida's Gulf Coast and at Three Mile Island near Harrison, Pa., the site of the nation's most serious commercial nuclear power plant incurred 11 months ago.
Babcock & Wilcox have designed a total of nine reactors.
Soviets brace for rebel action
KABUL, Afghanistan—Soviet and Afghan forces were placed on full alert yesterday in readiness for possible new anti-Commist demonstrations and attacks.
Spokesmen for the Islamic guerrilla movement told reporters that attacks were planned for today despite a reign of terror in rebel strongholds by the Taliban.
Some Western diplomats expressed skepticism about the guerrillas' ability to mount another citywide offensive so soon after suffering at least 300 dead and an estimated 1,000 injured in last week's street battles, which the government said were 'caused by agents and saboteurs' in the pay of Pakistan, China and the United States.
The Pakistan news agency, PPL, said rebel in Afghanistan shot down two Soviet helicopters in Ghazam in Kandahar and killed 41 troops, including three Russian officers in a night attack last Friday in Iauru. The rebel forces of the Pakistan had occurred in northern central and southern Afghanistan.
Governor mau aain hirina task
TOPEKA—The Kansas House tentatively approved legislation yesterday that would require the governor's approval for hiring a large share of state workers.
Supporters of the plan, which would require the governor's written approval for every civil service position filled and also for non-civil service workers in the executive branch, said the measure would cut down state hiring and help hold down state spending.
Approximately 1,500 classified workers and several instructors at the University of Kansas would be affected by the plan.
Gov. John Carlin said at a news conference that the bill was not practical. He said it was a strange move on the part of the Legislature.
DeSoto explosion probe begins
DESOSTO—Army officials said yesterday that they were investigating why an alcohol storage tank, abandoned 35 years ago, exploded at the Sunflower army base in Florida.
Tom Stuart, an army spokesman at the plant, said it was too early to determine what caused the Wednesday blast that killed George Skinner, 32, a partner in the company.
Skinner and a workman, Thomas Hinton, 35, were using hand tools to dismantle a 30-8-t foot tank that had been used to distill alcohol for ammunition propellants during World War II. The tank was thought to be empty, Stutz said, and had not been used since the mid-1940s.
Hinton was reported in fair condition yesterday at an Overland Park medical center.
The explosion knocked the tank 30 feet and blew out the side of a four-story building that was scheduled for demolition.
Revived frogs jumping again
Despite the warning on their crate "Live specimens, don't freeze, don't delay, don't overheat" they were stashed in a wooden mailbox under a fire
But four frogs were recipients of Odom's lifesaving techniques this week. One performed a fly attack, and another will be featured performers in a frog jumping contest at St. Charles High School.
ST. CHARLES, Mo.-As a biology teacher, Dan Odom was more accustomed to dissecting frogs than giving them mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Jeanne Mudd, an English teacher in charge of Wednesday's performance said, "They were like ice cubes, by bricks."
Odom and his class began dunking the frogs into increasingly warmer baths in an attempt to bring their body temperatures back to normal. Odom gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to four of them and applied the back-pressure, arm-lift method to the others.
All the frogs were saved, and Mudd said they apparently were not harmed by their ordeal.
"They were jumping like cray," she said, reviewing the participation in the school performance held in honor of Mark Twain and his "Celebrated Writers."

KANAS S CITY, Mo. (UPI)-Federal efforts to rob nub on the mob are like scientific attempts to cure the common cold. Despite advances in modern technology, results are few and small.
Mob eludes government dragnet
Like the cold, organized crime spreads easily and it's easier to treat the symptom than the pain. The bloody gangland killings schemes to skim money from Las Vegas casino are not just a way of life.
the federal officials said they might be on the track of a remedy, but that it would take time and painstaking work to assemble evidence to convict crime syndicate figures.
murder and skimming plots—an action hailed as what would become a crippling blow to the area's underworld.
TO DAY only one minor indictment has come from a federal grand jury. It was an attempted bribery charge against reputed Kansas City crime loss Nick Civella and two associates who were among those charged with another indictment with as many as seven contract killings.
A mound of affidavits released last June on a federal court order implicated the hierarchy of Kansas City's underworld in
The FBI and U.S. Organized Crime Strike Force are still analyzing the 1,983 cases of affidavits—including transgender victims who had no one promised any judgmentpcts.
"The wheels of justice grind slowly," said Bill Gavin, No. 2 man in the Kansas City FBI Office. "You try to weave the web of the net so thin that no one can slip through."
BUT SOME law enforcers, disappointed with the current City晶晶 Court, a current City晶晶 Court jury fordictions based on years of FBI probes into underworld activities that stretch to Las Vegas.
"I't tough to get solid evidence," said FBI agent Tony Triplet. "It's going to be what I would guess is a show, methodical, systematic approach to the juries of that information, possibly all of it."
Gavin was unsure whether the current panel had even seen the FB1 affidavits.
The bottom line is often the same in other syndicate cities: lack of proof or lack of any actual "cure" of the syndicate touch.
Strike force attorneys in Detroit have managed to imprison three members of the
Anthony Giacalone family identified in Senate hearings in the mid '05 as organized crime figures, and have charged six other figures with tax evasion racketeering or
BUT DESPIET those actions, one strike force member said, "I don't think there's been any reduction in organized crime activity in Detroit."
In Kansas City there have been on murder convictions from FBI affidavits that showed there were seven mk killings in four years, according to the NRA and internal wars among rival families.
"I takes quite a while to go through it and put it in a logical sequence so by the time you walk into a courtroom, you have a nice, comfortable, 'dawning' that a layman can understand," Gavin said.
