Iraq threatens to take Iranian oil fields
BAGHADD, Iraq—An Iraq official threatened yesterday that Iraq would capture and hold on to Iranian oil fields in Kuzbass province until Iran made it clear that it would not allow the country to
The Iraqis, however, first must capture the fields. Iran again said it had turned back Iraqi assaults on Khramrouris and Abadan yesterday. Both cities are major objectives in Iraq's invasion of Iran. Khramrouris is a city located at the border with Syria and has one of largest oil refineries in the Middle East, about 12 miles down the waterway.
Iraq's threat to use Iranian oil fields as its own came from Taha Yassin Ramadan, first deputy premier and army commander, in an interview with the Associated Press.
Akmed what would happen to Iranian oil fields in Abadan should Iraq capture the city, La Monde quoted Ramadan as saying, "It will become one of the most dangerous places."
Ramadan said Iran must sit down and consider Iraq's demands for territorial adjustments. Iran has insisted that Iran recognize Baghdad's demands on the Syrian border.
Despite Iranian claims to the contrary, Iraqi soldiers said yesterday that they had finally quelled resistance in Khyrramshahr.
Tehran Radio spoke of round-the-clock artillery shelling of the city, but Iraq troops said even smolder fire had stopped. Reports from either side were mixed.
Alleged Watergate tape copies aired
WASHINGTON—The three major television networks played excerpts that were adapted to be copies of the Watergate tapes last night on their evening news.
Dick Tuck, political editor for the humor magazine National Lampoon, played about 20 minutes of the tapes at an afternoon news conference in Washington on Wednesday.
The National Archives has been playing $12\frac{1}{2}$ hours of tapes used at the Watergate trials since May at its Washington headquarters. However, it has not allowed anyone to record them, raising questions about the authenticity of Tuck's tapes.
NBC told listeners that they would have to make up their own minds as to whether the tapes were authentic.
CBS vice president and news director Burton Benjamin said in a statement, "As a result of this press conference, we believe it is important to have our staff be fully trained."
The Watergate tapes include several conversations between former President Richard Nixon and his aides and the aides themselves about the activities that led to Nixon's resignation of the presidency in August 1974.
James Hastings, deputy director of the Nixon project at the archives, said the tapes Tuck played seemed legitimate.
Tuck said that he also had a copy of the celebrated 18-minute gap on one of the tapes, on which could be heard some word in the background that have been ignored. "I think it's very important."
Soviets reap disappointing harvest
MOSCOW—Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev announced yesterday that the latest Soviet grain harvest had been the third poorest in the past five years.
The 1808 grain harvest probably yielded more than last year's 179 million metric tons, but Breznev's comments to the Communist Party Central Committee indicated that the target of 235 million metric tons was out of reach.
The poor harvest, combined with the effects of the U. E. embargo on grain exports to the Soviet Union, is causing considerable difficulties for the Soviet population.
He discussed specific figures only in terms of the average harvest of more than 200 million metric tons during the past five years. However, Western analysts said that only a catastrophically small crop, below 164 million tons, would have jeopardized the 200 million ton average.
The most recent U.S. estimate of this year's Soviet harvest was 205 million metric tons. Other Western estimates have ranged lower, down to 190 million metric tons.
A late spring, heavy summer rains and unusually cold weather during August cut the yield of the harvest. But Brezhnev told the Central Committee that management problems in agriculture and throughout the national economy also were responsible for the poor results.
Presidential debate scheduled Oct.28
WASHINGTON-Representatives of President Carter and Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan agreed yesterday to hold a 90-minute nationally televised debate in Cleveland Oct. 28, one week before election day.
Ruth Hinerfeld, chairwoman of the League of Women Voters Education Fund, made the announcement after two hours of discussions between Carter and Reagan aides.
The debate will begin at 8:30 p.m. CST.
In the first half, four panelists will be permitted follow-up questions to their original queries. Each candidate will have time for rebuttal, Hinerfield
In the second half, the candidates will be permitted responses to rebuttals, a format similar to a true debate.
Each candidate will be allowed time for a brief closing statement, Hinerfeld said.
"Questions will deal with the full range of issues before the nation—domestic economic, foreign policy and defense," she said.
The first and second segments probably will run about 40 minutes each, she said, leaving time for closing statements.
The debate moderator will be television commentator Howard K. Smitn.
The four panelists have not yet been selected.
Civic campaigns begun to end killings
Police and firefighters made a city-wide canvass of residences for the police day, hoping someone had seen or heard something about the killer or
ATLANTA—Police officers launched a "Kids Don't Go With Strangers" campaign yesterday to try to hail the terror stemming from the slaying or shooting of three unarmed minors in New York.
Reward offers climbed to $140,000 as civic groups and businesses pumped in money to try to gather possible leads in the case.
The Georgia Fraternal Order of Police, acting independently of official channels, said its "Kids Don't Go with Strangers" campaign would focus on 100,000 elementary school students throughout the state, using coloring books and records.
Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed psychic from Nutley, N.J., who claims means in solving 13 murders across the country, was to describe to investment bankers how to identify and solve these cases.
17 refugees placed in psychiatric unit
SPRINGFIELD. Mo.- Seventeen Cuban refugees involved in two days of riding at a Washington University were sent to the U.S. Medical Center for treatment and treatment.
The 17 men were among a group of 90 refugees who seized the “B” ward at St. Elizabeth's Hospital Sunday and went on a rampage. Officials said the attack was carried out by an unidentified gunman.
The men arrived at the medical center for federal prisoners shortly after midnight and were placed in a psychiatric unit, said John Megathin, a professor of psychology.
To date, 38 Cuban refugees have been sent to the medical center for treatment, most for psychiatric care, Megathilin said. About 10 are receiving mental health care.
The refugees were sent to St. Elizabeth's last week for mental evaluation.
Iran says U.S. offer refused
The refusal resulted from a meeting between Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the radio said. The broadcast was monitored in London by the BBC.
LONDON (UPI)—Iranian leaders rejected President Carter's offer to end the arms embargo against Iran and unfreeze Iranian assets in exchange for the freedom of the $2 American hostages, Tehran Radio said yesterday.
Carter's statement, and a similar one made Monday by Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, spurred rumors that moves might be made to free the hostages, now in their 3$3rd day of captivity.
The end of the embargo would unfreeze $8 billion in Iranian assets in American and European banks and make it possible for Iran to get needed
spare parts for its American-made military equipment.
Tehran Radio, in its own commentary on the rumors, said Carter was trying to strike a deal with Iran only to boost his re-election chances.
"The government of Iran will not give Carter the slightest signal, and will not allow him to show off such a signal on American television and bring the news
On Oct. 10, the chief Iranian delegate to the United Nations said Iran had been making "signals" to the United States about improving relations and was amazed the United States had not resounded.
of an imminent solution to the hostage issue," the broadcast said.

However, an aide to Rajai said in a telephone interview that the fate of the hostages would be determined by the Iranian Parliament when it had disposed of its other business and not before.
