Meanwhile in America, families of the hostages wore yellow ribbons, and, at a graveyard in Hermitage, Penn., the 366 flag commemorating a day in captivity was raised. The four Iranian demands first were laid down by the Ayatollah Khomeini last September,, adopted by a seven-member committee, and approved ap-proved by a majority of the Iranian parliament, the Majlis. The demands call for (1) a pledge of non-interference in Iranian affairs; (2) the unfreezing un-freezing of Iran's assets in this country; (3) withdrawal of legal claims against that government; govern-ment; and (4) the return of the Shah's wealth. Except for the pledge of non-interference, which the Carter Administration has made in the past, all the conditions would be difficult to meet since they involve matters pending in the courts. Other suggestions made by Majlis membersfor mem-bersfor an apology, for three hours of TV time in the U.S. were rejected. State Department officials of-ficials also spurned suggestions the U.S. would trade the hostages for vital military arms the Iranians need in the fight against Iran. The Iranians pressed for a quick answer to their demands and said the hostages should be released in stages as the demands are met. The Parliament also warned the victims would be turned over to "judicial stages" if the demands weren't answered. , Warsaw, Poland Polish workers won Round 2 against their government by threatening another nationwide strike. The government gave in on three demands and also agreed to reverse a controversial con-troversial court decision. When the court registered the Solidarity labor coalition of unions, it ruled limited the union's power to . strike and reaffirmed the' supremacy of the Soviet Communist Party.

Apparently, Apparen-tly, a disagreement still existed over the registration of a farmers union, but the point was unimportant, said union sources. Moscow Khatun Karapetyan, at 111 years of ; age, is starting fresh. She has received approval from the Soviet government to immigrate to the ' United States, becoming the oldest Russian , citizen on record to apply for emigration. ;' Khatun was born is 1869, when the Czars ruled Russia and Ulysses S. Grant was beginning ' his first term. She took the oath Friday at the U.S. embassy, promising to be a good citizen, and adding that she never drank, smoked, or told lies. Khatun's daughter, who lives in California, invited in-vited her to come, and the older woman began the slow process of getting an OK to leave from the VIR agency, which issues emigration visas.

Ekenassjon, Sweden The ghostly hitchhiker of Arkansas has reappeared halfway across the globe in Sweden. Drivers are reporting they picked up a young transient who talked about the second coming of Christ, and then vanished into thin air. Police are worried about frightened drivers who have started speeding regardless of traffic signals, and who drive out of their way to avoid the ghost's favorite intersection. Officials don't think alcohol is the explanation for their behavior. They know even less to explain the ghost itself. Kingston, Jamaica This island government switched from socialist to conservative last week in an atmosphere of violence and intimidation that left two citizens dead. Right-wing challenger Edward Seaga defeated Premier Michael Manley, with Seaga's party taking 50 of 60 seats in the Jamaican parliament. It was an election marked by trouble after the deaths of more than 700 people in political violence this year. One woman was killed after she voted; a man was shot to death by security forces when he opened fire on them. Fake registration papers were found on his body; Police helicopters patrolled the city looking for trouble spots, while ballots and voting booths were reported missing in some areas. Lines formed at voting booths that opened late, and citizens in the lines were threatened. Seaga, who had attacked Manley for his ties to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, said his victory was a "declaration against communism." His first task is to restore the island's economy, where prices have quadrupled since 1975. His declared solution is to emDhasize free enterorise. and seek loans from international banks and friendly nations such as the U.S." In Washington, the State Department issued a declaration welcoming Seaga's election. NATIONAL Washington, Los Angeles Feminists were fuming this week over separate remarks by a conservative leader in Washington and a judge in L.A. Howard Phillips, national director of the Conservative Caucus, stirred controversy over his opinion that women in a family should only be allowed to vote and own property if no man is heading the family. And in California, L.A. judge who was considering a suit filed against the city by a fired female employee, said the woman was a temperamental "buttinsky" on the job, and ascribed her behavior to her menstrual cycle. Howard Phillips, a former Nixon Administration Ad-ministration official, was quoted as saying that women's voting and property rights had undermined under-mined morality and the family. The statements were made last July at a Long Beach, Calif, rally for Citizens for Biblical Morality. They were publicized this week by a pro-ERA group. Phillips has declared support for Ronald Reagan, but a spokesman for the GOP presidential presiden-tial winner disavowed Phillips' statement. Los Angeles Judge Andrew Hauk was considering con-sidering a sex-discrimination cause filed against the L.A. Housing Authority by an ousted female employee. Ironically," Hauk ruled in the woman's favor, but in considering the case, stated that she was "always writing memos, always complaining." com-plaining." The judge said this probably wasn't a problem one would have with a man, and called the situation "one of the prices we pay (for) women's lib." "They have their monthly problem, which upsets up-sets them emotionally, and we all know that, . . ."he said. Feminist Gloria Allred said the statement reflected deeply1 " helif prejudice toward women. And City Councilmen Bob Ronka brought up a resolution blasting the judge and asking the ADDeals Court to reDrimand him. New York Sen. Harrison A. "Pete" William Jr., D-N.Y., became the highest-ranking public official snared by the' FBI's Abscam operation. A federal grand jury in Brooklyn indicted Williams on nine counts of bribery and conspiracy. The senators told the press he was innocent. The indictment said that Williams promised to steer lucrative defense contracts to a phony "Sheik, Yassir Habib." In exchange, he had accepted ac-cepted an 18 hidden interest in a $100 million Virginia titaniun mine. Washington A federal appeals court here ruled that the Smithsonian Institution was not violating the separation of church and state by displaying an exhibit on evolution. Two groups brought the suit against a 1979,. display in the Institute's Museum of Natural History called "The Emergence of Man." The organizations, the National Foundation for Fairness Fair-ness in Education and National Bible Knowledge, sought an order requiring the Institute In-stitute to use equal funds to show the creation theory of the Bible. The court ruled that the exhibit "had a solid secular purpose of increasing and diffusing knowledge of men."
