tranians vote in national elections
LONDON — Iranians voted yesterday in national parliamentary elections virtually certain to reaffirm the fundamentalist Muslim leadership of Avatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
It was the second parliamentary election held since the Iranian revolution in 1979 when Muslim fundamentalists overthrew the Western-oriented regime of Shah Reza Pahlevi and set up a government based on Muslim law.
Iran's small opposition party — the Freedom Movement — boycotted the elections because of accusations by its leader, Mehdi Bazargan, that the government did not allow it to hold public meetings or use the media.
Nearly 400 of the 1,584 candidates who registered for the elections were rejected because of doubts about their religious "piety."

Leftists criticize aid to El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — President Reagan is rushing emergency military aid to the U.S. backed government of El Salvador because he is desperate with fear that the army will collapse, a leftist guerrilla radio broadcast said yesterday.
guerilla Yadin outbreaks and jihadists Radio Venceremos harshly attacked Reagan's Friday decision to by-pass Congress and send $32 million in emergency military aid from Pentagon funds to the war-torn country.
"Romald Reagan once again by-passed the authority of the U.S. Congress in sending $32 million in military aid to the puppet government," it charged, saying the president was worried about "the critical situation of the Salvadoran puppet army."
Critical situation of the survey conducted by Reagan had sought congressional approval of $91 million in military aid, but the proposal was swept aside in congressional outrage last week over CIA-backed mining of Nicaraguan ports.
Jerusalem beefs up holiday security
JERUSALEM — Thousands of Christians, guarded by an increased security force after terrorist attacks in Israel, yesterday sang and waved palms along the path that Jesus took on his triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

MCCOLL, S.C. — The Rev, Lee Black of the McColl Church of God has noticed that attendance is up for Sunday services after a tornado ravaged the town two weeks ago.

Primary allegedly used fake ballots
By United Press International
Jesse Jackson may have lost Democratic convention delegates to Walter Mondale because of fake sample ballots used in the Pennsylvania primary — the campaign's first main charge of political dirty tricks.
After a series of weekend caucuses in several states, Mondale, Jackson and Gary Hart kept relatively light schedules yesterday in their quest for delegates to the party's national convention in July.
Although Jackson generated a large turnout of black voters in Philadelphia for last week's primary, a rivalry among some politicians in the city may have cost him delegates, the Philadelphia Inquirer said yesterday.
To simplify complicated procedures, voters often rely upon sample ballots issued by the political camps to show
their candidate and the names of his delegates.
ACCORDING TO THE newspaper, some local black ward leaders handed out buogs sample ballots that had Jackson's name at the top but, instead, singled out delegates pledged to Mondale.
Reprinters for the paper discovered that many ward leaders who endorsed Jackson the week before the primary circulated sample ballots, listing only the names and lever numbers of Mondale's delegates.
"The decision to cut" Jackson delegates was partly motivated by political rivalries, the Inquirer said. Mayor W. Wilson Gooe, the first black mayor of Tucson, deforested Mondale and pitted his prestige against Jackson's local supporters.
what apparently happened . . . was that the black leaders used their hearts to put Jackson's name on the top of
The outcome will not be known until the official delegate count is completed. Philadelphia elected 25 delegates, but Iowa races officially are listed as undecided.
their sample ballots, while their heads led them to list Mondale delegate candidates on the bottom of the ballot," the Inquirer said.
IN CALIFORNIA, Hart hailed the outcome of Saturday's Arizona caucuses as a "clear and decisive victory." The Colorado senator collected 45.4 percent of the vote, compared to 29.8 percent Monday and 13.4 percent for Jackson.
Hart added 17 delegates, Mondale added 15, and Jackson added one.
"It's been a rough couple of weeks." Hart told reporters at a poolside news conference at a hotel in Beverly Hills, referring to losses in Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. "I think things look better now."
The latest United Press International tabulation shows Mondale now has 1,072 delegates. Hart 391, Jackson 158, uncommitted 325, and 58 committed to others. A total of 2,164 of the 3,933 delegates have been selected.
ALSO ON SATURDAY, South Carolina picked the rest of its delegation while Mississippi, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, Kansas and Alaska completed intermediate steps in their processes. The net change was a small gain for each of the candidates.
Mondale, who trailed Hart last month in Alaska's precinct cancences, surged ahead of his rival in the state's district over a party official reported yesterday.
With 24 of 27 districts reporting, Mondale was favored by 37 percent of the delegates in the district caucuses, followed by Hart with 34 percent, Jesse Jackson with eight percent, and 22 percent uncommitted.
FBI trying to link Wilder to slaying spree
COLEBROOK, N.H. — Investigators tried yesterday to link tape found in Christopher Wilder's car to the kind allegedly used by him in a slaying spree that ended when he died in a struggle with police near the Canadian border.
By United Press International
Wilder, 39, died Friday of "cardiac obliteration" from two gunshots fired from his .357 magnum revolver during a shootout in state trooper, an autopsy concluded.
The autopsy showed Wilder did not commit suicide, as was originally reported, but probably shot himself accidentally when state trooper Leo Jellison tried to arrest him.
In 1913, Harry K. Thaw, eccentric heir of a railroad fortune and murderer in 1906 of famous architect Stanford White, also was corned in Colebrook.
WILDER'S DEATH WAS not the first time this town of 2,500 was the scene of the final drama of a manhunt for a millionaire-turned-murderer.
More than 70 years later, the body of Wilder, a high-living Australian-born contractor and the subject of one of the most intense nationwide hunts in recent history, lies in a Colebrook funeral home.
The FBI planned tests on tape found in Wilder's sports car to determine whether it was the same tape used to bind some of the 11 women Wilder was
suspected of killing, raping or kid-

happening.
Tests also will be done to see whether glue found in the vehicle is the same that was used to seal the eyelids of one of Wilder's suspected victims, FBI special agent James Greenleaf said.
ALSO IN WILDER'S car, officials found color photograph of women, receipts, an address book, a large knife and 49 $100 bills. Some of the women in the photographs have not been identified
"We're attempting to determine also whether they were any additional victims." Greenleaf said.
Victims, or Victimized.
The body of Wilder, considered by the FBI as "the most wanted man in America," was held at Newman
renaleral Home in this northern New Hampshire lumber town until Wilder's brother, who lives in Miami, or other family members could be contacted.
The FBI tried to reach the brother, Steve Wilder of Miami, but he was reported out of the state, according to Bob Moore, director of Newman Funeral Home Moore said Wilder's parents, who live in Sydney, Australia, had not been reached either.
Police also wanted to talk to Jellison, who struggled with Widder before the fugitive accidentally shot himself, with one of the bullets hitting Jellison Jellison was resting in the hospital and would not be available for comment for at least two days, authorities said.
