Cult hearing plan draws fire
WASHINGTON, D.C.-By passing the congressional committee session, Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., has planned an informal congressional hearing on con-
The hiring, designed to educate members of Congress interested in the cult phenomenon, has drawn both criticism from religious leaders and special interest groups.
POLICE personnel will hear from such anti-cult witnesses as "deprogrammer" Ted Patrick, reportedly charged last week with kidnapping and assaulting a police officer.
An informal group of religious leaders sent Dole a letter last week agreeing with his desire to hold the educational hearings, but complaining that the scheduled witnesses had definite positions in support of regulations of cult activities.
Also scheduled to testify in Jackie Speier, legislative assistant to the late Rep. Leo Ryan, D-Calfi. Ryan was murdered last November by Peoples Temple cult
Dole then invited the National Council of Churches and the American Civil Liberties Union to witness of their own.
Criticism church members have obtained a permit for 200 members to demonstrate outside the Senate office building where the hearings will be held.
SEATTLE—Chinese Vice Premier Teng Hai-pao, nearing the end of his American tour, yesterday discussed Teng's emigration policies in a meeting
Jackson said Teng had "indicated he would give public assurances" that China's emigration policies would conform to the requirements necessary for it to attain the low tariffs and credits it wanted in order to buy expensive modern equipment.
Equipment is a co-author of the Jackson-Vank amendment to U.S. trade law, which prohibits granting favorable tariff rates and credits to communist countries.

you can tell. Mr. Trump said the United States shared Teng's concern for the growth of Soviet military power and the danger that that growth posed to countries whose international influence was threatened.
Teng's South stay also included a visit from former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger to help promote a soccer game, and a visit to nearby Everett, Wash., for an inspection tour of Boeing's 747 jetliner manufacturing plant.
China has ordered three of Boeing's 747SP models, which have fewer seats, bigger fuel tanks and a longer range than the conventional 747 jet.
Classes delayed in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS—The Board of Education will reopen all of the city's 156 schools today, but no classes will be held for the district's 74,000 students.
The schools will be open for athletic activities and preschool Head Start programs; officials said. The board and striking teachers will resume tasks in a timely manner.
The two sides met with federal mediators Thursday for the first time since the district's 4,400 teachers walked out in a contract dispute. No progress was reported. The board maintains that the walkout is illegal under a Missouri law banning public employee strikes.
Senators plan terrorism bill
WASHINGTON - Sens. Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn., and Jacob Javits, R.N., said yesterday they would renew an effort to require the U.S. government
The senators said they planned to introduce a bill today that would require a public listing of those countries and allow the president to cut off aid and sales of defense materials and commodities that could be used militarily. Similar legislation failed to pass in the last session of Congress.
President Carter reportedly prefers to have discretion over the application of sanctions against nations supporting terrorist activities.
Mystery virus kills 2 babies
NALEPS, Italy—Hospital officials reported yesterday that two more babies died overnight of what doctors have called the "mystery disease."
The disease, carried by an unidentified virus, has killed 58 children in the city in 11 months.
Officials at the Santobono Hospital said the latest victims were an 11-month-old boy and a 4-month-old girl.
Both suffered from vomiting and high fever, the same symptoms found in previous cases. The disease attacks the respiratory systems of weak and ill.
Scientist says guidelines slack
KITTERY, Maine—a Scientist investigating radiation-induced cancer deaths at Porstmouth Naval Shipyard said yesterday that the government had ignored the possibility of genetic damage to the workers' children for fear of opening a "Pandora's boy."
John Cobb, one of nine civilian scientists assigned by Congress to check on an investigation, said government guidelines failed to mention a genetic study.
The National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety had been ordered by Congress to investigate findings of a Boston blood specialist who had determined that nuclear workers at Portsmouth were contracting cancer at a much higher rate than non-nuclear shipward workers.
Although the institute has been working on its study since early last year, the first public mention of possible genetic or heredity dangers from radiation exposure came at a meeting of federal and civilian scientists in Boston last week.
Last month, some of the civilian scientists accused the government of a cover-up in its year-long investigation of the medical records of the 25,000
The charge was based on the lack of speed of investigating a problem that some scientists think could exist at all nine of the country's shipyards. At least one of them, the Lloyds, had to wait.
Most scientists agree that cancer-causing agents such as radiation also have the potential to cause mutations or genetic defects, Cobb said.
Rep. Flood regrets hung jury
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Rep. Daniel J. Flood, D-Penn., asserting his inocence, expressed regret that his bribery and perjury trial had ended in a
"I maintain my innocence of any wrongdoing in the charges that were considered against me." Flood, 75, said Saturday.
Juror Johnhie Lyles said that the panel was 11 to 1 for conviction on six of the seven bribery counts and that the singular vote resulted from the refuse of one of the judges.
A deadlocked federal jury of eight men and four women was dismissed Saturday might, ending almost three days of deliberations.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hinden, one of three government prosecutors, refused to speculate that the congressman would be tried again. Hinden said the decision would be left up to the Justice Department after the government's case was reviewed.
Post Office predicts surplus
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Postal Service may finally be headed for its first year in the black after failing through the 1970s to achieve its goal of eliminating
Postmaster General William F. Bolger said recently that the current projection was for a $180 million surplus for the fiscal year that ends September 30.
A deficit of about $1 billion during the mid 70s has been reduced substantially in each of the last two years and some of the old debts have been paid off, he

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Prime Minister Shaipour Bakhtiar yesterday he would not oppose the creation of a "shadow" government by Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini, but warned he was prepared to molarize the oil monopoly. Matov cocktail" if his forces resent to force
Bakhtiar prepared to return foe's force
Opposition sources said they expect Khomini, who returned to Iran Thursday, to designate the head of a "provisional government" within a week.
The problems facing Bakhtiar, struggling to avoid a bloody showdown with Khomeini, were dramatized by troubles within his own office. About 400 civil servants who work for the army went on strike to protest the army's slaying of more than 39 people last week in Tehran.

In an interview with the Tehran daily newspaper Etelaat, Bakhtiji likened a Khominein-appointed government to a European "shadow Cabinet" named by opposition parties waiting in the wings to take power.
"Many opposition political parties in progressive, democratic countries designate their own prime minister," Bakhtiar said. "But if this prime minister-

and wants to interfere with the legal order
An adviser to Khomeini, providing clues to the possible future of Iran's economy, said yesterday that Iran should cut its oil imports from Russia and that world oil prices should be higher.
Such moves by a Khoumeni-guided government in Iran—now the world's No.2 exporter of oil—could precipitate oil-supply problems among industrialized nations.
Farzulah Bani-Sadr, an economics adviser to Khomeni, said he favored a new economic system for Iran that would be "neither capitalist nor Marxist, nor a combination of the two." He also said a new Iranian government would have the right to cancel foreign debts incurred by previous governments.
