GNP revision shows increase
WASHINGTON—The Commerce Department yesterday revised its figures on economic growth to show that the nation's gross national product increased at a 2.1 percent annual rate in the final three months of 1979, rather than the anemic 1.4 percent rate initially reported.
Although the Carter administration had forecast an economic downturn during the first half of 1980, the economy continued to expand with nearly two times as much.
One of the president's chief economic advisers, Lyle E. Gramley, said in an interview that it is now unlikely that a recession will begin in the first quarter of
He said his own odds on a recession have changed from 60-40 in favor of a recession to 60-40 against. A number of private forecasters also favor the recession.
U.N. panel departure delaued
U. N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldmüll yesterday delayed until the weekend the departure of a special U.N. investigatory commission to Iran and said Iranian authorities wanted the commission members to talk to all of the approximate 50 American hostages in Tehran.
One of the five members of the commission, meanwhile, said there was a gentleman's agreement that the hostages would be freed as a result of their arrest. "We have no way to know," he said.
Waldheim he postponed the departure of the five lawyers and diplomats because the Iranians had asked for "a little more time" to prepare for the
The panel will investigate Iranian charges against the deposed Shah Mohammed Zareh Pazhahi of mass murder and corruption, and complaints that his son, Hassan Pazhahi, had been involved in the plot.
U.S. computers aided Soviets
WASHINGTON — The United States made major "errors in judgment" when sold computers to the Soviet Union, William J. Perry, the Pentagon's senator, accused of the crime.
The Soviets used the computers to help make Army trucks and other military equipment.
Perry said government officials had known for three years that the U.S. had supplied computers that were used in the Kanna River manufacturing plant to produce Iphone 5s.
Some of the trucks are known to have been used in the Soviet military move into Afghanistan.
Testifying before a Senate investigations subcommittee, Perry said the sales were continued despite objections from the Pentagon that to sustain a tax
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., the subcommittee's chairman, said the Soviets bought nominal units of U.S. equipment, primarily computers, and telecommunications.
After the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, President Carter ordered a temporary embarkation on the granting of trade licenses and the sale of spare parts to American manufacturers.
Grain embargo affects U.S.S.R.
MOSCOW - Meat production in the Soviet Union jumped 11 percent in January, the first indication of "distress slaughter" resulting from the overproduction of meat.
At the same time, the Communist Party newspaper Pravda urged farmers to use garbage, straw and pine tree twigs to supplement the diet of their stock.
The increase in meat production and the warning on fodder consumption were evidence that the grain embargo imposed by President Carter on Jan. 4 in retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was having an effect, the analysts said.
After the worst grain production in 1975, Soviet farmers reverted to 'distress slaughter', which, although it provided an immediate benefit, was still a common practice.
The Soviet grain harvest in 1979 was a disastrously low 179 million tons, the second lowest in a decade, and put the Russians in a position of reliance on

World issues part of prophecy
According to Van Birrer, of New Life Student Fellowship, these are all integral parts of Biblical prophecy.
What do the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the revolution in Iran, oil summits and Israel all have in common?

Birrer, featured speaker at a "Bible Prophecy" lecture last night in the Kansas Union, said Biblical prophecy was being fulfilled in current world events.
The lecture is one of a series to be held Wednesday nights by New Life Student Fellowship
Birror referred to the country of "Gee". Him interpreted to me imperialism in Union. He issued other other states, such as "Rosh", which bishop Lowe, in 1210, was the name from which Russia was formed.
Birrer spitro to a group of more than 100 people in an hour and a half study of Ezekiel chapter 38 which, he said, prophesied events in Afghanistan, Iran and Israel.
Ezekiel graphically predicts how GoG and his allies will fight against Israel, God's chosen people. Burrer said
He said the allies of Gog was be Persia. He told the allies of Gog that Persia, which can be identified as the modern countries of Iran, Ethiopia and other black countries, Libya, some Arabic countries, Iraq and Syria.
and eastern Europe. Bible scholars are uncertain whether the inhabitants of southern Russia or the people of Turkey are Christians, or the Bible as described by Bettlahgarua.
This prophecy was made 25,000 years ago, Birrer said. He also pointed out that the Soviets now had the support of some of these countries.
"Thus says the Lord, it will come about on that day that things will come into your heart. So you will be able to tell me you will say, I will go against the land of unwalled villages. I will go against those who are at rest, that fire securely, all of them, without walls, and having no bars and gates."
He quoted Ezekiel 38:10 and 11, which said:
The Soviet ambassador to the United Nations in 1949 described the vulnerability of the young country, Israel.
Birrer said that the military in Israel was at the moment "relaxed" at minimum protection level.
"There are outside forces casting covetous eyes at the oil wealth of the Middle East, while international military groups allied with them are looking at the Near Middle East as a strategic base-a French airbase. It was also the 1949 Iraq ambassador had said.
Birrer said that an article in the Feb. 25
In Fortune's article, "Why Should We Worry About the Soviet Energy Crunch," the magazine nearly mimicked the words of the Soviet ambassador, he said.
"With their oil prices production due to turn down, and no good substitutes available
issue of Fortune further substantiated Ezekiel's prophecy.
at home, the Russians may be casting coveteous glances at Mid-East supplies," the magazine said.
The Soviet Union is the world's largest oil producer, and Russian oil production has reached its peak, "Fortune" said.
The Russians have dropped their oil production target of 12.4 million barrels to 12.4 million. Fortune said.
Consequently, the Russians would profit from having a foothold in the oil-rich Middle East. Birrer said.
With the capture of Israel, the Soviets would have control of the Sieve Canal and, therefore, control of the short-run passage of oil transport, he said.
They also would have the Dead Sea, which was at one time estimated to be worth a trillion dollars, Barrer said. The sea also is rich in potash, a fertilizing agent.
"Russia's farming is a disaster," Birrer said
"For the Soviet Union, the early 1980s may be the best—possibly the last—time to expand its borders with or without the risk aggriing World War III," U.S. News said.
The Soviets' intent to get control of the Middle East was expressed in the Feb. 11
"The thing it should tell us about Bible prophecy is that there's something supernatural about that prophecy—about that Bible book of prophecy." he said.
issue of U.S. News and World Report, he said.
Of course the skeptic may not be convinced by Bible prophecy, Birrer said. God was using it to give daily evidence to the skeptic and to give authenticity to Scripture.
"I can't say that you'll see this invasion in the next year or two," Bitree said. "But it's really hard to imagine what more could take place before the stage is set.
"If this is a fulfillment of Exekiel 38, this is a dress rehearsal."
The Bible predicts that after the invasion of Israel, there will be a time of turmoil in the world, Birrer said, in which world events would culminate in the second wave.
"The good news of the Bible is that Jesus Christ provides a way for salvation," he said.
Birrer said that God was allowing time for the skeptic to change his mind.
Next week, the lecture will discuss Christ's prophecy.
