Iran reports Iraqis' assault is 'smashed'
Rv United Press International
LONDON — Iran yesterday said its forces smashed an Iraqi attack on the strategic Bardatkan heights on the southern front in the Persian Gulf war, killing more than 50 Iraqi troops.
The Islamic Republic News Agency, in a dispatch monitored in London, also said three Turkish bombs bombied the city of Gilan E-Gharb in western Iran, killing 16 people and injuring others.
The Iraqi attack on the Bardan heights, which were retaken by Iran last winter, began with a claim said Iranian troops "smashed" the attack but the troops "heavy damage, with more than 50 dead."
Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran, and organizations and societies throughout the world send messages to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
In a related development, Japanese public television reported today that Iran has asked to buy highly advanced radar systems and developed medium-rang transport planes from Japan.

The NHK network said the request has placed the government of Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasoro in a dilemma. Japanese policy forbids the export of weapons to warring nations, but Japan depends on Iran for about 10 percent of its annual petroleum supplies.

STATE OFFICIALS ESTIMATE that 400 families in Centralia and the nearby village of Byrnesville will take advantage of the relocation project and leave within the next four years.
Initial offers for Centralia homes, based on the value of comparable properties nearby, are to be tendered in late May. Some families will probably move a few days later.
But roots run deep in the anthracite region, deeper than the fire still raging in the same muese where ancestors of current residents were buried under the underground darkness for their livelihood.
SOME FAMILIES WILL start new lives in Ashland, about 2 miles down state Route 61 from Centralia. Others will go to nearby coal towns like Mount Carmel and Kulpmont. Few plan to move far from their homeland.
"They love Centrica despite the mine fire," said William Klink, executive director of the Columbia County Redevelopment Authority, is handling the relocation program locally.
"They know it's probably not safe to stay, but they hate to leave, too."
The Centralia Homeowners Association, which represents about 150 households, hopes at least a quarter of the families displaced by relocation will stick together and start a "New Centralia."
The group is studying five potential sites within 10 miles of Centralla for development of a new town. The most likely site is 100 acres of Montgomery and a 38-acre tract near Mount Carmel.
JACK CARLING, director of the Community Affairs Department disaster programs division, endorses the "New Centralia" concept. His office is helping the association to assess various sites.
"Certainly, no one thinks they're going to move 400 families into a New Centralia," he said. "The number I hear most often is 75 to 150 on the scale, there's some possibility for success."
Larkin said the townpeople may move, but the fire's mark on their lives will never be removed.
"No matter where we go, the memories of that mine fire will follow us and always be with us," he said. "I don't think we'll ever get used to the fact that we don't have a mine fire anymore."

in the late 1960s, he recorded "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" with Tammit Terrell. She collapsed on stage in Gaye's arms in 1967 and died from complications of a brain tumor when she resumed live performances four years later.
His 1971 "What's Going On" album was considered to be the first "concept" album by a black artist. The album revealed a poignant and passionate concern for urban decay, ecological crises and spiritual impoverishment.
"Let's Get It On," probably his most popular album, was released in 1973.
Mayor
continued from p. 1
"It wouldn't do it unless there was some compelling reason." he said.
"It's been pretty difficult to balance my time between the family and business," he said, "but I'm not sorry I've been mayor."
He said he did not have a favorite in mind for his replacement.
All five commissioners are eligible to be mayor. City Commission elections are in April of odd-numbered years. Every April the commission chooses a new mayor.
Next April, the terms of Shontz, Hill and Amyx will end.
UNDER THE SYSTEM, the two people who get the most votes in the commission election serve 4-year terms, and the one with the third most votes serves a 2-year term.
However, according to a rotation system used by previous commissions, Shontz would have been elected mayor last April because it was the third year of her 4-year term on the commission.
According to the rotation system, the person with the most votes would be mayor in the third year of his term, and the person with the second year would be mayor in the fourth year on the commission.
The system had been used by commissions for more than 20 years before the commission in 1980 decided to abandon it, Shontz said. Using the system, he said, "it had just been an unproblem, policy, she said.
IN 1880, ED CARTER was elected mayor, she said. It was the third year of his term, so the commission adhered to the rule that year but decided not to use it in the future.
"They voted not to do it that way any more, probably because they didn't want Marcel Francisco to be mayor." Shontz told. "It was because she was a controversial figure."
But, Shontz said, the newly elected commissioners chose Francisco as mayor in 1981 and 1982.
Shontz said that this year's commission was using the same methods to keep her from being mayor that the 1980 commission had used against Francisco.
"I HAD EXPECTED to be mayor." Shontz said of last year's election. "My problem is that I cannot vote in a free state."
"I really do feel that I would be a good mayor," she said. "I would not have any power as to the policy. It's the commission that makes the policy, not the mayor."
"I've told them many times that they would be smart to elect me as mayor to keep me
Shontz said she did not agree with the new process of electing the mayor.
"Under the new system, most of the people might never be mayor," she said. "They are shut out if they are of the wrong political party, or of the wrong political view."
She said she thought that if the commissioners wanted to keep the new system of selecting the mayor, then the form of government in the city should be changed to a mayor and city council form, in which the mayor would be elected by the people.
The way government is set up in Lawrence now, she said, the mayor is only a ceremonial head, and the rotation system was an orderly method of choosing that ceremonial leader.
