Hard-liner selected in Iran to succeed prime minister
The Iranian parliament, the Majlis, approved interior minister Mohammad Reza Mahdavi-kani as prime minister, 178-10, with eight abstentions, endorsing the nomination presented Tuesday by the highly assembled presidential council. Tehran radio said.
ANKAR, Turkey – A hard-line atyollah who helped orchestrate the summary trials and executions of hundreds of political opponents was elected Iran's prime minister yesterday to succeed Mohammed Javad Bahonar, who was killed in a bomb blast less than a month after taking office.
wann hours, the new 50-year-old prime minister presented his cabinet members, most of them ministers in the government of Bahonar.
Observers said parliament's speedy passage of Mahdavi-kani's nomination reflected the clergy's effort to ensure continuity after the assassinations of Bahouar and president Mohammed Ali Rajai in a bomb blast at the prime minister's office Sunday.
A successor to Rajaj has not been named, although Hashemi Rafanjani,
presidential council member and Maulana is speaker, is a strong contender.
As interior minister and former director of the university council, she called on Mahdavi-kani nurtured a reputation for being a hard-line with little patience for political dissent.

The administration already has undertaken a major reduction in the federal work force—30,000 below the March employment level—and officials
Budget director David Stockman said any new cutbacks—in addition to those already planned—would not be layoffs, but instead would be "a gradual reduction in the size of the federal payroll, and it will be primarily achieved through attrition."
Thousands of workers, meanwhile, have received "reduction in force" notices—the workers call them "RIF"—telling them their jobs may be terminated. The Office of Personnel Management said noticees were going out at 10 a.m., and the start of the fiscal year under earlier instructions from the budget office.

CHICAGO—In his latest criticism toward the Kremlin, President Reagan said yesterday any arms talks with the Soviet Union must deal with "legitimate" reductions, or Moscow would face an arms race "they can't win."

Reagan was greeted in Chicago by several hundred striking and chanting air traffic controllers. The president, who ordered 11,400 controllers fired for violating the national park rules,
After his GOP fund-raising talk, Reagan met with Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne and was asked by reporters to amplify his concerns concerning arms trade.
Asked if he was referring to on-sight verification, he replied, "I couldn't get that specific. I would have to see what proposals were necessary."

Military coup succeeds in Africa
PARIS—A new military regime of 23 French officers formally took power yesterday from the ousted civilian government of the Central African Republic.

Reagan to address union on strike policy
ByUnited Press International
CHICAGO—President Reagan accused by some labor leaders of being anti-union for his hard line in the air controllers strike, plans to assure a union gathering today he is not an organized labor, aides said yesterday.
The speech, addressed to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners Convention in Chicago, will be the first for Reagan before a union audience since he spoke to the Building Trades Association 30—the day he was shot and wounded.

"We have the means to change laws we find unjust or onerous," the speech says. "We cannot as citizens pick and choose the laws we will or will not obey."
As for private unions, the president's aides said, Reagan will promise "an open door to you in this administration."
"I can guarantee you today that this administration will not fight inflation
by attacking the sacred right of American workers to negotiate their wages," Reagan's speech says.
After his speech today, the president and first lady will return to Washington. Reagan was last in Washington on Aug. 6.
