Strikers snarl Paris highways
By United Press International
The Paris bottlenecks came as the government opened talks with truckers' unions to try to end the blockades that have tied up roads since Friday, stranding vacationing travelers bound for the Alpine regions.
PARIS — Striking truck drivers, in a maneuver dubbed "Operation Smallpace," blocked the highway circling Paris yesterday, causing mass rams in order to back demands for relief from taxes and bureaucracy.
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN the government and the strikers recessed in early evening after the truckers representatives asked for "a delay to
think over" offers for better working conditions.
The National Association of Ambulance Drivers, whose members handle 20 percent of the nation's hospital aid vehicles, said that if the falls failed ambulances would block roads because their drivers had the same grievances.
The Citroen factory in Rennes said 14,500 workers were laid off for an indefinite period because shipments of materials for the assembly lines could not pass the strikers' trucks parked on highways across France.
Several strikers, lounging around their parked trucks on a vital highway leading into Paris, laughed when asked why they were so unpopular with their fellow citizens.
"ELECTRICITY STRIKERS are
Truckers had removed blockades Monday in anticipation of the talks, but yesterday, in what they called "Operation Sniapace", they hogged the ring suburbs and suburbs and created traffic jams that bypassed even normal rush hour the tues.
unpopular, too, when they cut the electricity," said one ruddy-faced truck driver.
Police said the road to Charles De Gaulle International Airport was impassable.
New truck blockades sprouted in 72 sites across the country, the national capital.
Transport Minister Charles Fit-erman opened a day of talks with truckers' associations to consider their demands.
Iran says its troops killed 200 Iraqis
By United Press International
LONDON — Iranian officials said yesterday that its forces crushed a renewed Iraqi attempt to stop its 5-day-old offensive, killing 200 Iraqi troops, and officials in Washington said they were preparing to keep oil flowing from the Persian Gulf.
Teheran radio, monitored in London,
said Iranian troops fought off the new
iraqi attack and killed 200
iraqs, forcing our forces behind
 tanks, vehicles and weapons.
IRIANAN FORCES also shot down an Iraqi helicopter, silenced Iraqi guns and set fire to Iraqi positions in an artillery duel in the Piranshahr-Marivan sector, north of the mighty
Iranian "Dawn 5" offensive, the radio said.
In Baghdad, government officials charged Iran was massing troops near the two nations' 733-mile border for yet a new attack in the 41-month-old war. It was also blamed by the Iraq news agency said a major Iranian offensive was "imminent."
"Available evidence indicates that the Iranian offensive aims at destroying and occupying our villages and towns," the spokesman said.
The government newspaper Al Thawra, however, warned that Iraq would be ready to respond with unspecified new arms, saying "Iraqi forces will employ weapons never used before."
WESTERN DIPLOMATS in London said they believed the report referred
to the Soviet-made SS-12 Scaleboard missile, a short-to-medium-range mobile rocket designed for ground battle.
A Feb. 4 report in the authoritative journal Jane's Defense Weekly said that Iraq had received the missiles for ground defense in addition to the Super Etendard jets France delivered last year for use with Excelet missiles.
A diplomat said, "What it all points to in a new escalation. The outcome is any."
In a report to be published today, the journal also said that Iraq had ordered $164 million in helicopters for its frigates and corvettes.
In Washington, White House spokesman Larry Speakes reaffirmed President Reagan's pledge to keep the Strait of Hormuz open by "doing what's necessary."
