Webster monitored FBI probe
WASHINGTON—FBI Director William Webster and top Justice Department lawyers closely monitored the bureau's largest political corruption investigation to avert charges of entrapment as the probe implicated eight members of Congress, sources said.
Sources said the FBI was not the first to suggest brushes to the public figures and that videotape evidence will show there was no entrapment.
Code-named Operation Asecam, the investigation used under FBH men
represented as representatives of an Arab sheik offering bribes to win a caste
game.
At least 20 public officials and 10 lawyers and businessmen were implicated over 14 months, a source familiar with the investigation said.
Those implicated in the investigation who were contacted denied any wrongdoing.
The source, who asked not to be named, said FBI agents paid almost $00,000 in cash to the officials, although fewer than 10 of them took money.
Iran's leaders OK commission
Iran has agreed to form an international commission that will consider the alleged crimes of the shah and will try to end the hostage standoff, an Iranian
Establishment of the commission, proposed by U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, was approved by Iranian leader Availatol Ruhobil Khomein and the Revolutionary Council Saturday night after a lengthy meeting, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasirosadar Salami said.
A spokesman for the militants said he was aware of the council's decision, but declined immediate comment.
He said a statement might be issued later.
Salamii did not say when the commission would come to Tehran or when hearings were brought. He said members would be selected by Walheim and then sent to Iran.
He said it would be Waldheim's decision whether to include U.S. representatives in the group. He refused to confirm or deny reports that Waldheim soon
Senate to vote on military pay
WASHINGTON—The first test of Congressional sentiment concerning the Senate vote on proposed pay raises for members of the armed forces when the Senate votes on proposed pay raises for members of the armed forces.
The measure would give all enlisted persons and officers a 3.4 percent pay raise, in addition to the 7 percent increase given to servicemen and nearly all non-enlisted personnel.
The military pay raise measure was first proposed by Sens. William Armstrong, R-Cole, and Spark Matsumaga, D-Hawaii, last November and was approved in December.
A competing proposal that would substitute bonuses and increases in allowances for a pay increase was drafted by Senn. Sum Numm, D-Ga., and John Koehler. The proposal included bonuses to Senn.
Both of the measures in the Senate, which was briefed secretly on military manpower shortages, are aimed at curbing the exodus of skilled, career per-
Adm. Thomas B. Hayward, chief of naval operations, told Congress last week that he may be forced to take some ships and air squadrons out of service this year, mainly because skilled persons were leaving the service for higher paying jobs.
The Air Force expects to be short 2,000 plots this year, and the Army is short 46,000 non-committed officers.

Utility fined for PCB misuse
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Federal environmental officials want Kansas City Power and Light Co. to pay a $55,000 fine because, they said, the company mishandled PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), a toxic chemical that is a suspected carcinogen.
The Environmental Protection Agency charged in a complaint last week that the company mismanaged the PCB at three locations in Kansas City and at its La Crosse headquarters.
KCP1.6 spokesman, Vc Pieir, said yesterday he would have no comment on the charge until he received a copy of the complaint and reviewed the
PCB was widely used by utilities as a coolant in electrical transformers, until its health hazards were learned. The chemical does not break down, so it cannot be reused.
The EPA charged that KCP&L displayed "informed disregard" for federal regulations governing the handling of PCB. The utility has 15 days to pay the $79 million fine.
Brzezinski saus aid first step
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—U.S. national security adviser Zhigwen Brzezinski said that the proposed $400 million U.S. aid and package to Pakistan was issued on Monday.
After two days of talks with Pakistan President Zia ul-Haq, Breslau told reporters Pakistan faced a serious threat from the Soviet presence in neighboring countries.
He said that while the United States was willing to provide a sizable amount of aid to Pakistan, "We hope that other countries also will indicate what they wish for."
Brezinski also visited a refugee camp in Pakistan and told hundreds of cheerful Afghans, "You will prevail, because your cause is right. God is on your side."
Brzesniski did not say whether an agreement had been reached on the size of the U.S. aid package to Pakistan.
