Iranian executions continue; New prime minister named
ANKARA, Turkey—Revolutionary guards executed another 55 dissidents and killed 10 more leftists in two Tehran shootouts yesterday as Iran's parliament approved a new government sworn to wiping out resistance to its rule.
New Prime Minister Ayatollah Mohammed Reza Mahdavi-Kani, 50, defended himself against critical parliament members 'who wrongly said' he had been a terrorist.
Despite dissenting voices, the parliament approved the new cabinet 170-4 with four abstentions.
Mahdav-Kani was interior minister until being named prime minister after his predecessor, Mohammed Javed Bahonar and President Ali Abdullahi Mohamed.
From Paris, ousted President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr said last week that the existing regime in Iran would collapse if five key people were assassinated. Rajai and Bahonar, at the top of this list, were killed soon after.
However, Mahdavi-Kani said the regime was strong and drawing even more strength from the attacks.
'We shall become stronger every passing day,' he said, after yesterday's vote.
the number of executed dissidents also grows every day. Yesterday, in Iran's crackdown on dissent, 55 people were killed by firing squads. The latest killings raised the number of opponents executed since Bani-Sadr's ouster in June to at least 659.
Revolutionary guards also raided the hideout of a leftist group, killing seven guerrillas, T韩ran radio said. Three people whom the radio described as insurgents were killed.
Investigators weigh Hvatt skvwalks
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Federal investigators looking for a cause of the collapse of two hotel skyscrapes yesterday weighted sections of the walkways in Kansas City.
In its independent investigation of the July 17 disaster that killed 112 people, the National Bureau of Standards said it hoped to determine whether the cause was due to a natural hazard.
The bureau estimated what the walkways should weigh using scale models of the structures and looking at thousands of photographs and building plans.
"There are numbers that the designers have known when building buildings. They know that buildings can be tall, but they don't live with the real weight of the skywalls, something must be wrong."
The spokesman said his office would compare the actual dead weight of the walkways with what the dead weight should be if proper construction materials were used. Shortly after the Hyatt disaster, officials estimated each skywalk weighed about 32 tons.
The bureau will release its findings in early October.
In a related story, firefighters and emergency crews responded to an alarm at the Hyatt at 1:30 p.m. yesterday, and ended up dumping a can of beer.
1,000 Haitians riot in Miami camp
MIAMI—An angry mob of 1,000 Haitian refugees demanding to be rushed the barbed wire fenceires at a detention camp yesterday.
Nearly 100 brief escaped despair guards who fought them with clubs and gas. About 20 Haitians and "some" officers were injured, camp officials said.
The Haitians made their sudden bid for freedom because of a federal decision to ship them to Puerto Rico rather than release them in southern
Chanting and waving signs demanding "liberty," the Haitians started walking toward guards who patrol the Krome Avenue Detention Camp. When the guards pelted them with tear gas and retreated behind a fence, the refugees ripped down a fence and fled into the Everglades near camp.
Dade County Police in helicopters captured most of the refugees, and leaders of the uprising to take "a secure area." A camp official said the group had set up a temporary base in the community.
The official said past refugee camps had had uprisings "but we've never had anything this bad."
Tension has been growing at the camp for several weeks, he said, since the Immigration and Naturalization Service began shipping refugees to Camp
Desegregation upheld in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—A federal judge ruled yesterday that the school district where one of the country's first desegregation battles was fought in 1957 could not return to sergeated classes to combat "white flight."
Little Rock's desegregation battle has been fought in the courts since 1957, when Gov. Orval Faubus called out the national guard to prevent desegregated high school. Elementary schools were finally desegregated in 1973, and the proportion of whites in the district had dropped to 3 in 2 percent each year since.
Peter Sherrill, the school board member who proposed the plan, said white parents told him they were "afraid" to have their young children in mostly black classes and had threatened to withdraw their financial support from public schools.
Soviet force spotted off U.S. coast
WASHINGTON—The Soviet Union sent a task force within 200 miles or the U.S. Pacific coast yesterday, possibly because of recent incidents involving American planes in air space near Soviet-supported Libya and North Korea, a Navy spokesman said.
Four-ship Shipviet force composed of a guided missile cruiser, two guided mineshipping aircraft and a shipwotted 200 miles off the Pacific coast, about 100 miles south of Pudong.
It was the first time in 10 years Soviet naval vessels had come so close to the Pacific coast.
In a prepared statement, the Navy said it didn't know the Soviet's intention. "They may be conducting a freedom of navigation transit which the U.S. Navy is not."
"It looks as if they're there to test international waters," he said.
A spokesman linked the appearance of the Soviet vessels to two air incidents in month involving conflicting territorial claims with Libya and North Korea.
Committee cuts rules on certificate
WASHINGTON—The government yesterday liberalized the rules for taxexempt "all-savers" certificates, eliminating the minimum denumination, raising the interest rate and allowing interest payment withdrawals before maturity.
For consumers, this means savers don't have to pay tax on the first $1,000 in interest they earn from all-saver certificates.
And for the nation's savings and loans, yesterday's rule changes could make certificates they offer more attractive to consumers—and help the association realize its role.
The new regulations were issued by a little-known group that Congress grants ultimate authority over interest rates, the Depository Institutions Deregulation Act.
Under the rules for the certificates, which will be available Oct. 1, banks and savings and loan associations can offer the tax-exempt certificates in any location.
The rules came as a surprise to the savings industry and to the Internal Revenue Service, both of which had erroneously declared that the certificates would be available in denominations no smaller than $500.
Reagan promises unions right to bargain
But in his speech to 2,500 members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners at their 34th convention, the president took pains to draw a distinction between public unions, such as the striking professional air controllers organizat
CHICAGO—President Reagan, winding up a month-long absence from Washington, yesterday promised a union audience he would not fight inflation by attacking labor's "sacred right" to negotiate better wages.
Reagan's speech was received politely. In contrast, the labor audience later gave Charles Manatt, the Democratic national chairman,
"He particularly felt he got the strongest hand when he said, organized labor should not become the party," the spokesman said. "the political party," the spokesman said.
The president has been criticized for his adamant refusal to bargain with the air controllers and his insistence that they had, in effect, fired themselves. But yesterday, he reminded his Chicago audience that organized labor
thunderous applause for criticizing Reagan's "anti-union" administration.
Flying back to Washington later, a White House spokesman said Reagan was "extremely pleased by his reception before the union audience."
"They were the first to point out . . . that government could not close up shop," Reagan said, "that government workers were employed by the people who are employed and did not give any group the right to coerce . . . elected representatives."
was the first to declare that govern-
ment air conditioners and air cir-
controllers, had no right to control
And, in fact, after the president had spoken, William Konyha, the Carpenter's Union general president, joined the coalition to complete support for the PATCO strikers.
With private unions, the president was more flexible, to applause, he said.
This administration will not fight the American workers to negotiate their jobs.
He promised an "open door to labor from his administration," and said his economic program would benefit the farm, and would usher in plentiful jobs."
There were no expressions of displeasure during Bogaan's speech, as in the last section.
But Manatt, who addressed the convention after the president, was enthusiastically received when he announced that she is the most anti-union, anti-liaborist leader in Washington since Calvin Coolidge was president more than 50 years ago."
