Bush says UAW's criticism was political, praises U.S. workers
DES MOINES, Iowa — Vice President George Bush said yesterday that the head of the United Auto Workers union was playing “a little bit of politics” by accusing U.S. offending U.S. workers.
"I have confidence in the American worker," Bush said, as questions resurfaced here about his offhand remark last week on the high-quality work of Soviet tank mechanics.
As Bush greeted shoppers at a mall downtown, reporters asked

about his comment in Brussels and he responded, "I was trying to make a point" about the workman- mechanist, transmitted by Soviet mechanics.
Bush had met with NATO ministers in Brussels on Friday and told reporters about recent successful Soviet tank maneuvers. "Hey," he added, "when those mechanics went wrong out of work in the Soviet Union, send them to Detroit because we could use that kind of ability."
WASHINGTON — FBI Director-designate William S. Sessions, suffering from a bleeding ulcer, suffered a relapse that sent him back to the hospital yesterday and forced indefinite postponement of his swearing-in, FBI officials said.
Sessions, a former federal judge, was hospitalized for observation and treatment in San Anto
nio, Texas, where he had returned after being released from the George Washington University Medical Center here Saturday.
Richard Rubio, Sessions' private physician, was quoted in an FBI statement saying Sessions was believed to have experienced more bleeding.

WASHINGTON — For the first time, the share of young blacks who voted surged significantly ahead of the percentage of young whites who went to the polls, the Census Bureau reported yesterday in a study of turnout for the 1968 election.

Iraq warns Iran of retaliation
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iraq threatened yesterday to answer the latest Iranian missile attacks on Baghdad by blitzing Iranian cities with air raids, artillery and new long-range missiles that can reach Tehran.

WARM BLOODED JAYHAWKS NEEDED...
Later in the day, Iraq said its jets raided a "large naval target," usually meaning a ship. There was no immediate confirmation of the attack, which the Iraqis said occurred yesterday evening.
Two missiles hit the Iraqi capital Monday night and early yesterday, killing or wounding an unspecified number of people. Iran had fired two dozen Soviet-made Scud-B missiles into Baghdad beginning late last year, but these were the first attacks since Feb. 13.
A Cypriot vessel, The Shining Star, was burning out of control yesterday off Iran in the Persian Gulf, where Iran and Iraq have been at war since September 1980. Iraqi warplanes set it ablaze Monday during raids on two Iranian oil terminals in which four other tankers were damaged.
Maritime salvage executives in the gulf area said 15 tugboats tried to extinguish the fire, but finally gave up, and the crew abandoned ship.
Government newspapers in Baghdad said the military would make the first use of a new type of Iraqi-manufactured missile to attack Iranian cities, indicating Teheran would be the main target.
About 380 commercial vessels have been attacked by both sides since the war began. The Shining Star is the first total loss reported.
They said the missile's range was just over 400 miles, which means it could reach the Iranian capital of 6 million people from Iraqi territory.
Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency quoted the Revolutionary Guards minister, Mohsen Rafiq-dou, as saying Iran had improved the performance of surface-to-surface missiles such as those that
But backers said that the ban was largely symbolic and that they expected it to have little economic impact on Iran.
The support for shutting down imports from Iran reflected frustration on Capitol Hill about events in the gulf, where the administration has committed U.S. military force to escorting oil tankers against the wishes of many in Congress.
president authority to negotiate with other countries to convince them to ban Iranian imports. The ban would last until Iran halted belligerent acts against gulf shipping.
Oct. 6,7,8/9:30-3:30
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, sponsor of the Senate bill, said he hoped the action would force the administration to face the issue squarely and in a fashion that it could not be ducked or bureaucratically swept under the rug.
Congress passes 2 bills halting imports from Iran
WASHINGTON — Congress overwhelmingly approved legislation yesterday that would slam the door on all imports from Iran.
"It would be more a profound moral statement than an effective cutoff of their exports," said Paul Freedenberg, acting undersecretary of commerce for export administration.
GIVE BLOOD. GIVE LIFE.
Rep. Mel Levine, D-Calif., a sponsor of the House bill, said it was outrageous that U.S. dollars had been flowing into the Iranian war machine that had been laying mines that threatened the lives of U.S. servicemen.

Backers said that while a ban might have little effect on Iran but would send a signal of outrage to Tehran's behavior in the Persian Gulf.
WALK-INS WELCOME!
The Senate voted 93-0 for a bill that would immediately ban all Iranian imports, primarily oil, unless President Reagan certifies that the ban would harm U.S. interests. In that case, he could delay the ban date by up to six months.
The House voted 407-5 for a similar measure. The two bills differ slightly, so further action is required before the bill is sent to Reagan, who has not yet taken a position on the legislation.

WASHINGTON — Once again challenging the nation's top health officer, Education Secretary William J. Bennett yesterday issued a guide to AIDS education that downplays the use of condoms and emphasizes the use of morality and sexual restraint in safeguard against the deadly disease.
Unlike Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's own pamphlet on AIDS, Bennett's booklet takes a dim view of condoms as a disease preventive, saying they "can and do fail."
It said each Iraqi plane could carry "a bomb load far surpassing the destructive power of any missile or gun the Iranian regime can use against Iraq." Iraq also has about eight times as many military aircraft as Iran.
Without mentioning Koop by name, he added, "People who have thought or who have been suggesting that condoms will provide an adequate safeguard against the spread of AIDS are, I think, now admitting either to overstatement or mistake."
Iranian cities with Iraqi-built missiles, pound them with thousands of artillery guns and more than a hundred warplanes."
The House version gives the
It also contends that "promoting the use of condoms can suggest to teen-agers that adults expect them to engage in sexual intercourse."
"This is not moralizing; it is realis- es. Bennett told a news confer- ence."
Bennett told reporters that condoms could "help reduce the risk, but they by no means can be relied upon."
AIDS guide suggests restraint
exploded in Baghdad, population 5 million. He did not elaborate, but warned of more attacks.
His 28-page booklet, "AIDS and the Education of Our Children," suggests that schools ordinarily can wait until sex education courses at the junior-high level to teach youngsters about AIDS and how it is spread.
The "war of the cities" has flared several times during the long war. Thousands of civilians on both sides have been reportedly killed in the cycles of air raids, missile attacks and artillery bombardments.
Koop has said that frank instruction about AIDS should start in early elementary school. And he has urged men who engage in any high-risk sexual activity to wear condoms during intercourse.
Al-Qadissiya, newspaper of the Al-Iraqi armed forces, said yesterday: "Iraq has the capability to strike
