CARACAS, Venezuela—Venezuela, a key supplier to the United States, has increased the price of its crude oil exports an average of 18 percent since February.

The OPEC price rise, decided in Geneva Tuesday, also allowed OPEC members to impose an unrestricted surcharge. Liberia, Algeria and Venezuela
The OPEC increases, which took effect yesterday, are expected to raise American retail gasoline prices by about 2 cents a gallon and increase the American bill for foreign oil by at least $4 billion from last year's total of $43 billion. Surprise could push the bill even higher.
U. S. gasoline prices rise about 1 cent a gallon for each 5 percent increase in the price of crude oil.
Tanzanian jets bomb Entebbe
NAROHI, Kenya—Tanzanian jets bombed Uganda's Entebee airport yesterday, severely damaging the main runway Libya had to ferry troops.
The attack was the first Tanzanian air strike into Uganda during the five-month war, diplomats in Nairobi said.
The raid appeared to be in retaliation for Thursday's Libyan bombing of Mwanza, a Tanzanian port on the southern shore of Lake Victoria.
Diplomats said Tanzania's Soviet-made MIG-21 jets might have put the airport temporarily out of service.

Shah may move to Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Friends of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi have contacted Argentine government officials to see whether the former Iranian ruler could settle in Argentina, an Argentine newspaper reported yesterday.
Government sources would neither confirm nor deny the report.
The newspaper, La Nacion, said the Argentine military government of president Jorge Videle was consulting with other nations to test international drone technology.
The newspaper, quoting unnamed diplomatic sources, said the former Iranian ambassador in Washington, Ardeshir Zahed, had called on an American official to release the documents.
The revolutionary government in Iran has said it would ask the government of whatever nation the shah settled in to extradite him to Iran to be tried for
Silkwood lawyers finishing up
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kerr-McCee Nuclear Corp. may present its meeting last week in the $11.5 million plutonium contamination lawsuit against Kerr-McCee and its suppliers.
Lawyers for Silkwood's survivors invited Friday their presentation in the trial, which enters its fifth week today, might be completed by Wednesday.
Courhouse observers predict a lengthy defense and said the trial could last until May.
The trial of the suit, brought by Silkwood's family, has gained nationwide notoriety as the first personal injury suit ever tried involving off-site competition.
Testimony revealed that Silkwood had feared exposure to radiation and thought health and safety precautions were inadequate at the Kerr-MGee Clinic.
Silkwood, who died in a 1975 car accident, had suffered more than twice the amount of contamination experts said would have caused cancer.
The corporation contends Silkwood was responsible for her own contamination.

CHICAGO-United Airlines announced yesterday a hayoff of 13,300 pilots, attendants and other crew members because of a machinist strike that fussed

A walkout by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace workers in United States midnight Friday, after the two unions rejected a contract offer.
Negotiators said they were having trouble getting to Washington for talks because the strike was clogging other airlines.
At Kansas City International Airport, all 22 scheduled United flights from the city were cancelled shortly before the strike, grounding 500 to 600 passengers a day.
Eric Gaughan, an assistant to the manager for United Airlines in Kansas City, said the 128 United employees in the Kansas City are who were not members of the company.
Walkout shuts down trucking
WASHINGTON — The trucking industry declared a nationwide shutdown yesterday against 300,000 Teamsters, after the union launched strikes against 75,000.
"This will cause a major disruption in trucking transportation, not a limited or selective stoppage," the industry said in a prepared statement.
Union President Frank Fitzsimons said, interference by high-level government bureaucats had played a large part in his decision to order the
Industry's decision to counter the strike presumably would make it easier for the Carter administration to obtain a buck-to-work order under the Taft-
The strikes and walkout followed a breakdown in contract talks before the union's contract expired at midnight Saturday.
Passman acquitted on all counts
A 12-member jury, made up of residents of the Fifth District, which Passman represented for 30 years, deliberated less than two hours before acquitting him. When the jury's verdict was announced, Passman jumped up and hugged his lawyer, Camille Gravel.

his "perfectly obvious that I'm extremely pleased." Passman said after
leaving his church with Gov. Edwyn Edwards, the governor's brother, Marion, and Gravel.
In his closing arguments yesterday, Gravel described Passman as "an unknowing victim of an evil Korean conspiracy."
In a letter released by Rep. Henry Reuss, D-Wis., Babcock said the National竹业局 recommended not taking legal action against the farmers or their financial backers.
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department will not try to collect payment for property damages done in Washington by demonstrating farmers, according to a report from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Recent estimates set the demonstration's cost at $500,000 for the federal government and $2 million for the District of Columbia.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini triumphantly proclaimed Iran an Islamic republic yesterday, announcing that the "yes" votes of millions of Iranians in a referendum had created the nation's first

Hostile Arabs await Begin's Cairo visit
CAIRO, Egypt (AP)-Menachem Begin arrives today, the first Israeli prime minister to visit an Arab capital.
But Egyptian dislike of Begin and Arab outrage over the peace treaty will keep his welcome in a mere sheer of the one that he has given to Sotat got in Jerusalem 16 months ago.
Begins say he is coming as a friend, "to open my heart to every man, to offer me the opportunity of officials and people in the street, however seem little inclined to return"
The average Egyptian, primed by an Anti-Begin line in the press, speaks harshly of the Israeli leader, labeling him a traitor. He is a hard-hassler and a taceless orator.
"Postponing the visit would be a gesture of good will to Egypt," one Egyptian said.

Begin and Satad talked by telephone yesterday, Israel Cabinet Secretary Arish Naor denied reports that the cabinet had asked Begin to postpone the trip.
But Egypt has to contend with Arab opposition to the treaty, dramatized by Saturday's Arab ministers' decision to cut economic and political ties with Egypt, and shows little sensitivity to Begin's domestic difficulties.
Begin hopes the visit will persuade Israeli opponents of the treaty that Egypt and Israel indeed are at peace after 30 years of hot and cold war.

radio, contrasted with continued concern by the revolutionary authorities over unrest among the nation's large ethnic minority groups.
Prime Minister Mehdi Bazarang, head of the Khomheini-appointed provisional government, warned rebellious Turkoman tribesmen in the northwestern city of Gonbad-e-Qabas yesterday that if the week-old fighting there did not cease the would send in government troops tomorrow morning to restore order.
KHOMENI SAID the nationwore referendum Friday and Saturday gave "unanimous" approval to an Islamic republic. But this apparently was not meant literally, because early returns over the weekend indicated a small minority of Muslims against establishing an Islamic republic, which has still not been fully defined.
A government spokesman warned, meanwhile, that new trouble was brewing in Arab-populated Kuhzestan province.
State radio and television said yesterday preliminary results showed 18 million had voted "yes." An estimated 18.7 million had been eligible to vote. The remaining returns from provincial towns show 90.3 million of the voters in favor of an Islamic republic.
As the results were announced, some motorists in downtown Tehran flashed a red light to show approval. But most citizens see no sign of a foregone conclusion. A Tehran bazaar merchant told a reporter, "Of course I will go to the police and ask what is the people had a revolution for."
Some voters complained about having to cast their ballots in full view of revolutionary officials and said regulation procedures had been erratic.
SEVERAL IRANIANS expressed fear that the Islamic republic would turn back the clock in Iran and limit the freedom of women—notions that Khomeini has tried to dispel but with only mixed success.
