Iraqi jets stage mock raids over Iran to 'warn' regime
"Attention, attention, seek shelters immediately," a Tehran radio announcer warned listeners seconds after the radio broke into its fire.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Iraqi warplanes roared over 18 Iranian cities including Tehran yesterday, setting off sonic booms. An Iraqi spokesman called the mooch raids "a warning to the Iranian regime."
The official Iranian and Iraqi news agencies said the jets did not carry out attacks as part of the 40-month-old war between Iran and Iraq.
Residents of Tehran, contacted by telephone from Ankara, Turkey, said air-raid sirens began wailing in the late afternoon. They scrambled into basement bomb shelters throughout the capital, 315 miles east of the Iraqi border.
Florida convict dies in electric chair
STARKE, Fla. — Anthony Antone, recalling Christ's last words in his own final statement, died in the electric chair yesterday for arranging the gangland-style murder of a former policeman.
Antone, 66, the oldest man on Florida's death row, became the 12th man executed in the United States since the death-penalty ban was lifted.
Antone, 66, was the first to die who did not actually kill the victim himself.
"All I can say is, forgive them, Father, for their ignorance. They know not what they do. That's it," Antea said in a clear, controlled voice. He was pronounced dead at 6:08 a.m.
Even to his death, Anselm insisted he was not guilty of setting up the 1975 murder of Richard Cloud, a former Tampa, Fla., detective.
Evidence gathered on disappearances
"Many of these cases — it could be 500, it could be 200 — are totally new," commission charman Ernesto Sabato said yesterday.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A presidential commission investigating the disappearance of thousands of people has gathered evidence on 1,300 cases in three weeks of hearings. Thousands more are expected to come to light.
Sabato, a leading Argentine novelist, said that former members of the government security forces who either repented their crimes or who were seeking revenge against superior officers were among those who had testified.
The commission's purpose is to gather evidence on the fate of more than 6,000 persons who disappeared during the military's "dirty war" against leftist guerrillas in the 1970s.
Leaders end boycott against Nestle
The campaign focused on Nestle's promotion, marketing and sales of infant formula in developing nations. Critics said that unsanitary conditions and nutritional deficiencies made formula a deadly substitute for breast feeding.
WASHINGTON — Leaders of the $6^{2-}$-year-old boycott against the Nestle Co. announced yesterday the end of their campaign against the infant-formula manufacturing firm.
Nestle is one of the largest suppliers of infant formula to the Third World.
Rafael Pagan, Jr., president of the Nestle Coordination Center for Nutrition, said, "Now that this controversy is over, we can concentrate our efforts to fighting the real problems of the Third World — contaminated water, ignorance, malnutrition and inadequate health care."
Filipinos to vote on vice-presidency
MANILA, Philippines — Government troops went on alert yesterday on the eve of a nationwide referendum that is expected to approve the revival of the vice-presidency.

Senate kills bill on access charges
By United Press International
The vote was 44-40 against the measure sponsored by Sen. Robert Packwood, R-Ore. It was a defeat for consumer groups, who have said the Federal Communications Commission's decision to postpone phone rates would not make it possible business phone customers will not prevent phone rates from skvrocketing when the charges take effect.
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted narrowly yesterday to kill legislation calling for a two-year moratorium on $2-a-month telephone access charges and to ban the company's own delay on the fees made the bill unnecessary.
Packwood told reporters afterward that the key to the Senate's action was the FCC's decision earlier this month to switch its position and adopt most of the new rules, a letter from 32 senators led by Robert D. Kane, R.I.
THE SENATE VOTE also meant the end of the road for phone legislation passed by the House last fall that would completely abolish the flat monthly surcharge customer's connection to long distance phone services.
"Had the FCC not changed, we would have won," he said, adding that another phone measure could be offered between Dec. 1, when the FCC completes a study of the impact of the American Telephone & Telegraph, and June 1985, when the access charges are expected to commence.
"I've got an 18-month victory," he said. "Everyone whose phone bill would have gone up in April has seen a payoff."
Kenneth Muthhall, executive vice president of AT&T, said. "We're glad to see the issue has returned to the market."
hundreds of other groups to fight the surcharges, said,
"We're bitterly disappointed."
BUT A SPOKESMAN for the Telecommunications Research & Action Center, which has joined with
"Although Packwood fought it, this is a Republican strategy that raises telephone bills," he said.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., a previous Packwood backer, said he and Sen. Wendell Ford, D-Ky., were introducing a bill to guarantee the pensions would be "portable."
Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who at one time backed the Packwood measure, also said he would be offering a resolution to notify the government that although the FCC is not charging it will be "watching what the FCC is doing."
THE NEW PLAN also allows long-instance companies, such as MCI and Sprint, that compete with AT&T a 55 percent discount on the price of their connections to local systems until the quality improves to equal AT&T's. The current discount is about 75 percent.

By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR. El Salvador — Leftist guerrillas yesterday killed an American woman traveling with her family across El Salvador when the tourists drove their car into a rebel roadblock, a Defense spokesman said.

THE OFFICER WAS accompanying the family to the Honduran border, a "standard procedure" when visitors' papers are not in order. Agular said. He said the woman's husband was driving the vehicle.
Aguilar said "a group of terrorists who were dedicated to停 buses and vehicles to ask for war
"They did not stop and because of that they were machine gunned, with the result of one woman dead." Aguilar said. The woman was hit in the chest and the back.
It was "supposed that the policeman told them not to" stop at the guerrilla roadblock, he said. "When the guerrillas saw what they had done, that the people our skinned Americans, they fled from the position."
No one else in the vehicle was reported injured.
CUSTOMS POLICE DIRECTOR LJ. Manuel Fidencio Vasquez said he believed the Americans were traveling eastward from the Guatemalan border toward Honduras, headed for Costa Rica.
A Salvadoran priest who administered last rites to the woman said left guerrillas "apparently" shot her. A Salvadoran official earlier told the American Embassy that government soldiers fired at the bus.

The priest said he had received unconfirmed reports that one Salvadoran civilian was killed and another wounded.
The bus apparently was the family's private vehicle "According to a Salvadoran official, someone mounted a roadblock near Santa Rola de Lima. Soldiers opened fire and one U.S. citizen was killed." Hamilton said.
Two U.S. consular officers flew in a helicopter to the area to investigate the report. Hamilton said
Hamilton said the embassy could not give details on the American citizen killed because of Privacy Act actions.
