6 executions reported in Iran
TEHRAN, Iran—Revolutionary authorities sent six more men to their deaths before firing squads yesterday, Tehran newspapers reported.
Meanwhile, violence flared in the streets of Tahron in the aftermath of Saturday's encounter of Amir Akgan Hoveida, who served as prime minister.
State radio reported that Hoveida, prime minister from 1965 to 1977, had been executed on charges ranging from corruption to spying for the United States to drug trafficking.
Sunday's six executions took place before dawn in four cities, the newspapers said. Those executed included two pre-shah army men, three of the shah's policemen and a landlord who was charged with illegally seizing land and ransoming several women.
State radio reports confirmed only that three of the executions had taken place.
the official execution toll stands at 76 since revolutionaries began their work after the Feb. 12 fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pa叭lavi's last government.
Flight attendants end walkout
WASHINGTON—Negotiators for Pan American World Airways and its flight attendants union reached a tentative labor agreement yesterday, ending a brief walkout that had disrupted some Pan Am flights in Europe, airlines officials said.
Pickets were reported at a handful of airports in the United States after the two sides failed to reach an agreement by midnight Saturday, the deadline set for the airline's final decision.
The new pact was reached after a series of bargaining sessions that began last week under the auspices of the National Mediation Board.
Although the terms of the proposed contract were not disclosed, Richard Drake, the union's national strike director, predicted union members would take action.
Nuke investigation to begin
HARRISBURG, Pa.—Sign-carrying demonstrators conducted "last rites for HARRISBURG Mine" plant nuclear yesterday on the Capitol steps, insisting it was
Congress will begin a series of lengthy investigations tomorrow into the causes of the accident at the nuclear plant.
Meanwhile, engineers still are trying to bring the damaged reactor to a cold shutdown. Authorities said the job could take at least five more days.
Protestors belonging to a group called Three Mile Alert stood 1,000 yearly; continuing a protest that began eight years ago when Metropolitan
The company is paying $1.1 million per day to replace power load in the accident, but the bill has not yet been passed on to consumers. Utility officials said they expect it will be about $200,000 a year.
In Washington, a senate nuclear regulation subcommittee will summon all five members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to explain the origin of the accident. The subcommittee also has requested Senate approval for ad-demanding to pay an expanded staff for an investigation expected to run up to a year.
Austin keeps interest in nuke
**AUSTIN, Texas—Citty voters approved the issuance of an additional $18.55 million in bonds to keep the city '10 percent share in a nuclear plant now available.'**
A turnout of about 34 percent of the city's registered voters approved the proposition with 53 percent in favor to 67 percent against.
The city had paid $160 million for its original share. But cost overruns and additional expenses had forced citizens to decide whether they wanted to spend the additional $215.85 million to issue revenue bonds needed to maintain their proportionate share in the nuclear plant.
Houston, San Antonio and Corpus Christi also own the plant, which is owned by a company that cultivates the island plant. The first union in the nuclear project is scheduled to begin product production.
Bay City is 135 miles southeast of Austin.
Czar says gas prices peaked
WASHINGTON- Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said yesterday that gasoline prices may have peaked for the year, but he agreed with a prediction by the Senate Energy Committee chairman that prices may exceed $1 a gallon by 1981.
Scheinger said that because of President Carter's decision to decontoll oil prices between now and September 1981, the nation had seen the decline in energy prices.
He said the phased decortal of domestic oil prices would proceed regardless of whether Carter got his proposed windfall profits tax, but he thought public opinion was weak.
5-mile restriction to be lifted
Sen. Henry, Jackson, D.Washington, had predicted that by the end of 1981, gasoline could be 15 to 20 cents higher, or $1 a gallon for most types of gasoline.
Thornhill decided yesterday to continue that advisory for at least another day after meeting with Joseph Hendrich, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
HARRISBURG, Pa.-Go. Dick Thornburgh's warning that pre-school children and pregnant women stay outside a five-mile radius of the damaged Three Mile Island nuclear reactor may be lifted today, the governor's spokesman said.
Thorumburn issued his warning March 30 after there were several leaks of radiation from the nuclear power plant.
Paul Critchlow, Thornburgh's press secretary, said the warning would be lifted if officials thought they could continue the cleanup without more radiation.
Weather...
Today's high temperature is expected to be in the 60s, according to the National Weather Service. The low tonight will be in the 30s.
Amin's troops hold Kampala line
NAIROBL, Kenya (AP)-Tanzanian forces attacked the southern approaches to Kampala with heavy artillery fire yesterday after apparently being stopped by unexpected resistance from fresh Ugandan troops, according to exile sources and residents of the Uganda capital.
Travelers arriving from northeastern Uganda reported, meanwhile, that President Idi Amin's soldiers were rounding up members of two Christian tribes that have been persecuted repeatedly for alleged ties to the Modern Amin. Their fate was unknown.
BUT EXILE sources said yesterday the invasion force of Tanzanian soldiers and anti-Amin Ugandan rebels had run into new opposition—the Bondo Battalion, loyal troops, which sought down from Amin's home area of West Nile province in northwestern Uganda.
Amin's harsh 8-year rule seemed in its final hours Saturday when the last of an estimated 2,000 Libyan troops defending him were reported to have fled toward an air base in the north, evidently to fly back to Libya.
Those sources said the reinforcements were thought to have stalled the invaders along the road to Kampala from Entebbe, site of Uganda's international airport 21 miles to the south. The airport was reported captured by the invaders last week.
Kampala residents contacted by telephone said there had been heavy firing about five miles south of central Kampala. Some said their homes had shaken after a severe shaking of two hills lying between the invaders and the heart of Kampala.
Some observers said the Tanzanian commanders might be examining the capital to ensure there were not traps or unexpected pockets of opposition.
Although the invasion force of nearly 7,000 has been in Kampala's southern and western outskirts for several days, it has not launched a final assault.
AMIN REPORTEDLY has moved his headquarters to the area of Jinja, 50 miles east of Kampala. Witnesses there said loyal Ugandan troops had set up a roadblock at the Owen Falls Dam, just west of the city, and were confiscating arms and ammunition from fellow soldiers fleeing from the direction of Kampala.
In recent days, Amin has repeatedly spoken to his nation over government radio to insist he is winning the war, to exhert his soldiers and to pledge he would fight to the death.
Travelers from Sordi to northeastern Uganda said Ugandan troops had begun
rounding up Acholi and Langi tribesmen there.
The Acholi and Langi, both Christian tribes, have been among the principal victims of what international human rights groups say are government-inspired massacres of tens of thousands of Ugandans.
