Iranian jets attack Baghdad as Iran-Irag war continues
BAGHIDAD, Iraq-Iranian jettfighters raided the Iraqi capital of Baghdad yesterday for the first time in a year, and Iraq said its forces killed nearly 2,000 Iranians in another fierce battle east of its strategic oil port of Basra.
Iraq said that only two U.S.-made Iranian phantom jets took part in the raid and that one was shot down and the other chased away before they could reach the base.
Iran said its jef fighters inflicted heavy damage on Iraqi oil installations in and around Baghdad.
north sides reported fierce air combat on other fronts, however, and Iraq did its own inflict enormous losses on the Iranians in fighting during a 24-hour standoff.
Iran said the Iraqi planes "bombed residential and non-military areas of Avhaz, killing nine people, wounding 98 and destroying 40 houses."
Israel gives PLO two weeks to go
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israeli gunners shelled southern Beirut late yesterday following a PLO ambush that killed five Israeli soldiers, and an Israelian cabinet minister set a two-week deadline for the guerrillas to withdraw or face "house-to-house" fighting.
The sporadic shelling came shortly after the Israeli military command acknowledged PLO claims that their guerrillas had killed five soldiers in one ambush and had wounded six others in two other attacks in eastern Lebanon.
Four attackers also were killed in the ambush, which killed five Israeli soldiers near the village of Mansoura, said the commander.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA said the shelling of the Lebanese capital hit the Birk Hassan and Ouzal suburbs in the southern district of Tripoli, killing at least three people.
The ambushes came a day after PLO guerrillas fired a rocket into northern Israel. It was the first time since the June 6 invasion that PLO rebels fired a rocket into the northern Galilee settlement of Sh'ei Yashuv, the Israeli military command said.
Acres of outer shelf to be leased
WASHINGTON—James Watt, secretary of interior, yesterday signed a proposal to lift oil and gas exploration and development tariffs on the nation's outer continental shelf to oil and gas exploration and development.
Watt said the plan "will enhance the national security, provide jobs and protect the environment while making America less dependent on foreign oil
Meanwhile, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, and Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., planned to introduce resolutions against the plan in May.
"I'm introducing this resolution because the secretary's plan lacks any sense of compromise," Markey said in a statement. "It lacks any concern for our environment, and it has a potentially devastating impact on our coastal states."
The new program calls for 41 lease sales through June 1867. About a billion acres of shell land will be considered for leasing during this period, but only about 50 percent will be available for lease.
Assassins fail in attack on diplomat
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands—The Turkish consul-general escaped unharmed an assassination attack yesterday by a缅甸 terrorist, police said on Wednesday.
The attack followed a familiar pattern of violence in Europe and North America in recent years against prominent Turks by Armenian guerrilla forces.
A group calling itself the Armenian Red Army claimed responsibility for the attack in a call to the French news agency Agence France Presse in Bulgaria.
The two gummen opened up on the car of Turkish diplomat Kemalettim Demirer as it drew up in front of the Turkish consulate.
**WORMED BURRISH** was in a hospital under police guard and in satisfactory condition after surgery for a bullet wound in the stomach, police said.
Singing cowboy to fight gun control
LOS ANGELES -Singing cowboy Roy Rogers has been recruited by the national Rifle Association to fight California's handgun initiative, and the warrants for his rifle are pending.
"I've always been against gun control." Rogers said in a telephone interview from his home in the Mojave Desert. "It's one of the basic firearms."
Rogers has not yet seen the scripts for the series of NRA commercials he will film, but he said the 30- and 60-second spots would be in front of a gun case in the western museum he operates with his wife, Dale Evans, in Apple Valley, Calif.
The initiative, which will appear on the November ballot, would require the滋anges be registered with the California attorney general's office by the following date.
Supporters of the initiative expect the NRA to spend whatever it takes to defeat the controversial measure.
Rogers, whose entertainment career spanned more than 39 years, said the initiative reminded him of the tactics used by the Nazis during World War II.
"he said 'thirth'," he said. Rogers said he hunted for food as a child and still kept guns in his home for protection.
Mercury spill grounds United 485
"A passenger in the inbound flight had in his trunk a plastic bottle of standard grade triple distilled mercury." Chuck Novak, manager of public relations for Coca-Cola.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A bottle of mercury in an airplane passenger's luggage leaked yesterday, forcing Chicago passengers on United Flight 485 to disembark at Kansas City International Airport and take another airline to reach their destination, Wichita.
"He did not declare it as hazardous material when checking in with United. Two to three pounds leaked out in the cargo pit of the plane and on the aircraft."
"Three employees who handled the bag took showers and were taken to the hospital to be checked out."
Bombs could mean violent summer
The flight originated in Chicago and was bound for Wichita, with a stop in Kansas City. There were 125 people aboard the plane. Novak said.
Mounting a search for all known IRA suspects in Britain and Ireland, police appealed for help in spotting suspicious packages or activity, particular of child pornography.
LONDON—Scotland Yard warned yesterday that the bloody Irish Republican Army bomb attacks that killed nine soldiers in two London parks caused a wave of outrage.
The death toll from Tuesday's attacks against a ceremonial cavalry troop in the southern district of Regent's Park rose to nine in a 19-year-old lance corporal died of injury.
Dozens of false bomb alerts were checked out. Blue-shirted bobbies, unarmed as usual, patrolled rail stations and airports in greater numbers.
Program to fight residence hall vandalism
By NEAL McCHRISTY Staff Reporter
Vandalism increased by more than $10,000 at KU residence halls since the past year, and a new program to help deal with the problem was discussed at the Residential Programs Advisory Board meeting yesterday.
Last year, each of the 4,502 students in the residence halls paid $0.44 for repair of damages caused by vandals.
Total vandalism was slightly less than $47,000 for the 1961-82 school year, and the increase in 1980-81 was $10,584.72, according to figures by the office of housing.
An anti-vandalism program, which will be started this fall, will be sponsored by the Association of University Presses to Bob Dowdy, president of AURH
THE ANTI-VANDALISM program will include information on how money can be used to prevent theft.
for vandalism as well as attempt to cut down on vandalism at the nineteen sites.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said the few students were doing the vandalism.
The vandalism figures do not include those who have paid for damages they caused at the residence halls, which amounts to about $10,000. Wilson said.
"Of course, you're dealing with a minority here and the goal is that the majority will control the minority," he said.
Wilson said he was concerned that publishing the figures could establish a "norm for vandalism." He said he thought that it could indicate that a certain amount of vandalism was acceptable.

A fund made up of $18 from each student for public area improvements in residence hall fees. Wilson said. The fund can be used to improve public areas.
A second fund made up of $18 from each student will be used to either pay for vandalism or for hall improvements. Money not used for vandalism costs could be used for such items as television sets, Wilson said.

Cockroaches have also been a problem at residence halls, especially at UC.
Wilson said that there had been some dissatisfaction with the pest control staff.
"We're about to do away with our pest control contractor and do it ourselves."
THE PROBLEM has been with the frequency of spraying, he said. The contractor has been reluctant to make return calls, and maintenance personnel may take over pest control services at end of the contract period, Wilson said.
The board also discussed a report about residence hall contracts.
The residence halls are 91 percent filled, said Fred McElhenni, director of residential programs.
After checking records, it was found that 30 to 40 people have not paid their June and July installments and conceived an agreement that contracts canceled. McElhene said.
ALLOWANCES ARE being made for foreign students so that they will have more time to mail in their money, McEbianne said.
Board members also discussed problems with lighting in some campus areas.
"In the last three orientation sessions, it's very apparent that people are still not arranging for housing," McEhlenie said.
The occupancy report showed that 4,128 people had signed contracts. McEhlenie said that he hoped occupancy would increase soon at the resi-
