Monday, the Prime Minister was standing in a crowd outside the Parlaiment House when a man described as "long-haired and educated-looking" educated-looking" threw a stiletto knife at her. The knife barely missed Gandhi and lightly grazed one of her bodyguards. Tehran, Iran In what is viewed as an effort to undercut President Carter's drive to persuade major U.S. allies to place economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran, the Iranian government arranged Monday a visit between two representatives of the International Red Cross and the American hostages. The Red Cross had stipulated they wanted to meet all the hostages, that they be allowed to make a list of their identities, and that they be allowed to notify the captives' families of the state of their health. The Iranian government said they agreed to all three conditions. While the U.S. State Department called the Red Cross visit a plus, it also added that the measure was a ' 'palliative. ' ' Carter said he hoped the visit would not cause U.S. allies to lose sight of the fact that "the point is not whether they (the hostages) are being held in good condition, but that they should be released." As for America's allies, the response to Carter's Car-ter's request for joint economic and political sanctions against Iran has been slow. Carter last weekend asked U.S. allies to impose sanctions against Iran similar, to those imposed last week by the U.S. the breaking of diplomatic relations and a halt to trade. Carter warned other actions might become necessary, including blockading or mining Iranian ports to cut off the country's economic lifelines, if the hostage situation isn't soon resolved. Iran warned if Western Europe and Japan supported Carter, they would not get "so much as snake's poison" from Iranian oil wells. Liberia An "unknown" master sargeant of the Liberian army, identified as Samuel K. Doe, is the new leader of Liberia after a military coup Saturday that left former president William R.1 Tolbert, 66, dead at his presidential'paldce'in Monrovia, the capital city. The regime later beheaded Tolbert's son and killed two former presidential aides. Doe said in a Radio Monrovia broadcast that the army overthrew Tolbert's government because of its "rampant corruption and continuous con-tinuous failure to handle Liberia's problems. The new leader, who appears to be unknown outside Liberia, then announced the army temporarily would rule the country, partially through a team of 15 officers and non-commissioned officers appointed ap-pointed as superintendents. Liberia is a western African nation that has had close ties with the United States, its chief trading partner and political model. Liberia was colonized by freed African slaves in 1822. Iraq Iranian and Iraqi helicopters and planes dueled one another above sections of the 800-mile border separating the two countries. The air battles bat-tles escalated tensions between the two nations which have been engaging in border skirmishes for months. The root of the IranIraq dispute stems from Iran's occupation of three small islands at the entrance to the Persian Gulf which Iran seized in 1971 from what soon thereafter became the United Arab Emirates. Iraq wants control of the islands returned to the Arab side of the gulf; Iran says the islands will not be given back. Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh said Iran intends to overthrow the Baathist regime that now rules Iraq. The ever-vocal Moslem militants holding the U.S. Embassy hostages in Tehran accused the Baghdad regime of being Washington's puppet and said an attack oy Iraq on Iran would put the lives of the American hostages in "grave danger." Iraq's pro-Soviet government is widely considered strongly anti-American. NATIONAL Colorado Springs, Co. It's official, Levi Strauss, Coca-Cola and the U.S. Olympic Team will not be going to the Moscow Summer Olympics. Olym-pics. On Saturday the U.S. Olympic Committee voted by a 2-1 margin to keep U.S. athletes home unless Carter advises the USOC on or before May 20 that the international situation has changed and a team could be sent. The White House welcomed the vote, but added the president will not change his mind to send a team by May 20, or at any time thereafter. The USOC vote was taken after a week of heavy pressure from Carter to boycott the games. Carter had threatened legal action, if necessary, to enforce his boycott call and had dispatched vice-president Walter Mondale to carry his appeal directly to the USOC. The USOC vote has nudged other Free World countries to consider seriously Carter's request for international support of the boycott. Already Egypt has declared it will not send its athletes to Moscow, and Australia and West Germany gave indication at the beginning of the week they, too, would hop on the boycott bandwagon. New York, New York Eleven days of transit strikes in the Big Apple ended Saturday following a tentative agreement between the city's 33,600 subway and bus workers and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Under the agreement, workers will receive hikes of 19 percent over the time period of the two year pact 9 percent in the first year, 10 percent per-cent in the second, plus a cost of living increase. The strike had turned the East Side of Manhattan Manhat-tan into a parking lot during rush hours, sending tens of thousands of New Yorkers on foot and bicycle to their jobs. The strike cost the city an estimated $1.1 billion. Washington President Carter has decided to admit to the United States on an emergency basis up to 3,500 of the 10,800 Cubans who have jammed the Peruvian Embassy grounds in Havana seeking asylum and resettlement abroad. The president made the announcement Monday, Mon-day, saying the Cuban refugee is a problem "for all the Americans as well as the world." Carter added the world looked to Cuba to assure humanitarian conditions for the refugees ending their evacuation and to cooperate with Peru and international organizations to facilitate the safe exit of the Cubans from the embassy. Under present plans, the Cubans will be flown first to Costa Rica, which has agreed to provide a staging area for the refugees. There they would be screened by U.S. officials to determine whether or not they meet the requirements of a new refugee act signed by Carter on March 17 this year. If all 3,500 embassy refugees enter the U.S., it would bring the number of Cubans admitted admit-ted to this country in the last 18 months to 15,000. Cleveland, Ohio While Republican and Democratic nominee hopefuls are still battling it out at primary polls, the populist Citizen's Party already has tagged its choice for president in 1980. In a three-day convention last weekend, Barry Commoner, -the - noted-biologist' and author of several best-selling books on environmental issues, won the" Citizen's Party presidential nomination. Commoner won the nomination by default. He had been selected along with San Francisco electronics engineer Larry Manuel, but Manuel later withdrew his name from consideration con-sideration and announced his support of Commoner. Com-moner. Though Citizen's Party members still must mail their nominee preference by mail, Commoner is the only one on the ballot. Commoner has chosen as his vice-presidential running mate LaDonna Harri, president and executive director of Americans for Indian Opportunity, Op-portunity, a nationwide organization of American Indians. The Citizen's Party is built around theories of economic democracy, human rights and conservation. conser-vation. Commoner helped found the third party about a year ago. Hollywood There were few big surprises in Monday's annual Hollywood guessing game, the Academy Awards. As odds makers had predicted, predic-ted, Dustin Hoffman won best actor for his role in "Kramer vs. Kramer," Sally Field of "Norma Rae" won best actress and "Kramer vs. Kramer" won the Oscar statue for best movie. Other winners were Melvin Douglas, of "Being There," and Meryl Streep, of "Kramer vs. Kramer," for best supporting actor and actress. New York For the second time, Norman Mailer has won a Pulitzer Prize. This time the author won the 1980 prize for fiction for "The Executioner' Song," the story of Utah convict Gary Gilmore and his execution by firing squad. Mailer won the Pulitzer in 1969 for a non-fiction work, "Armies of the Night." Houston, Texas A Baylor College of Medicine scientist has developed a cancer treatment that uses the body's own defense mechanisms and that promises to be one of the most potent cures for the disease yet discovered. The treatment involves running a cancer patient's blood through a centrifuge to separate cells from plasma, and then passing the plasma through a special chamber after which it is mixed with the separated blood cells and returned re-turned to the body. The plasma filter contains a special strain of heat-killed bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus Cowans I, which attract an anti-protein known as immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin is a key substance in the body's defense against foreign substances. The blood-processing techniques so far has produced dramatic results in killing cancer cells and shrinking mammary tumors in two-thirds of the dogs tested. The promising results of early experiments with the treatment were greeted sceptically by the government's National Cancer Institute, until the Institute conducted its own tests with similar positive results. Researchers say the new technique is still a long way off from human application. |
