Mount, Kenya, KenyaConfounding the experts, ex-perts, a religious zealot has scaled Africa's second highest peak barefoot and without any equipment. equip-ment. The mysterious climber told two British climbers he had made the ascent to pray to the Kiiuryu God En-gai. The British climbers said he was barefoot, had few other clothes, no mountain equipment and just a small bundle of food. The man was reported to be dozing on top the snowcapped snow-capped mountain Monday. "Gettin to the top of Nelion is one of the most difficult climbs in the world," said American climbing expert Phil Snyder. "This may be one of the most amazing climbs in mountaineering history. I thought it was physically impossible to do it barefoot. You need ropes, axes, warm weather clothing, pitons. This man had nothing." Snyder predicted it would be impossible for the mystery man to make the descent without assistance. . The man was quoted by the British climbers as saying: "You don't know my name now, but it will be known in the future." Moscow Soviet cosmonauts Valley Ruymin and Vladimir Lyakhov returned to Earth Sunday after spending a half year in space. Their time in the gravity-free environment was equivalent to a round trip to Mars. The two spacemen had to be carried from their Soyuz 34 spacecraft after its soft landing in the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan but doctors reported Monday that the pair was in remarkably good health. "We could have stayed up there longer, but we are really glad to have our feet on the ground," remarked Lyakhov. NATIONAL ,. Washington After receiving heavy criticism for holding an unauthorized discussion with a representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Andrew Young quit last week as ambassador to the United Nations. The resignation came after Young met separately with President Carter and Secretary Cyrus Vance. But the ambassador said the resignation was his own idea. "I really don't feel a bit sorry for a thing I have done. " Portland, Oregon A jury awarded more than $2 million in damages last week to a 22-year-old woman who claimed the Church of Scientology defrauded her by failing to fulfill promises of improving her life.

Washington U.S. exporters have been authorized to ship $46 million worth of scarce heating oil and kerosene to oil-rich Iran this month to help overcome a shortage there, the Commerce Department announced Tuesday. Robin Schwartzman, deputy director for the Bureau of Trade Regulation, said the fuel export of Iran was approved "to help alleviate some current shortages" and was to be used for heating and cooking purposes . "It's considered a temporary measure. An emergency was caused in Iran by a refinery problem," she said. "The department has been assured the export will not have any adverse impact im-pact on energy supplies in this country." Jupiter, Florida In her second attempt in three weeks, Diana Nyad became the first person per-son to swim from the Bahamas to Florida. Greeted by a cheering crowd and boats honking their horns, Miss Nyad stumbled ashore after swimming for more than 27 hours. Almost immediately she began talking about a Ciiba-to-Floridaswim. The 30-year-old swimmer's first attempt at the record ended after 28 miles and 12 hours when she was stung by a Portuguese man-of-war. The direct distance from Bimini to the Florida shore is 42.5 miles but the strong Gulf Stream current more than doubled the distance for Miss Nyad. She failed in an attempt to swim from Cuba to the Florida Keys last year but she has vowed to try it again. Chicago The editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association said Monday some government reports about substances that may cause cancer are inaccurate, misleading and cause problems for doctors and patients . According to Dr. William Barclay, government govern-ment agencies sometimes issue such reports to create drama and justify their existence. Barclay's Bar-clay's editorial was spurred by a recent National Cancer Institute report that reserpine, a drug used to treat high blood pressure, caused cancer in mice and rats. "If you took the time to read the report, you'd be puzzled as to how in the hell they came to the conclusion this drug causes cancer," the doctor said in an interview. Las Vegas Heeding the adage, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," Glynn Wolfe married for the 23rd time Monday. Wolfe claims to be 71 years old and the father of 40 children.
