WASHINGTON c- - & The former v. Idaho governor, who four years ago became President Carters secretary of interior, says hes tired of the "silly games they play in Washington. Hes tired of the pressure, the endless compromises, the expensive lifestyle and "too many on the social circuit." When I was governor, I could Mr. Andrus implement a decision quickly, " Andrus said in an interview with The Associated Press. I could even implement a poor decision. I could call up the state police or the national guard and theyd say, Yes, sir. "Here you cant even implement a good decision in a timely fashion.

Andrus said he told the president when he accepted the job that he would stay only one term, that his decision is no reflection on Carter, that he wants to spend more time with two daughters who have health problems. He is one of several administration officials including inflation fighter Alfred Kahn and ACTION director Sam who have said theyre Brown leaving, regardless of the outcome of the election. Lowest Income Before he moved to Washington, Andrus bad the lowest income of any of Cart.-r'- s Cabinet officials. Still, he insists his $33,000 governors salary went further than the $69,630 he makes now. "As governor, they gave me a nice house and a car, he said. "They paid the utility bills.

Cautions Jordan The United States cautioned Jordan to keep out of the war between the Persian Gulf neighbors. Syria accused the president of Iraq of who an imperialist agent being launched the war at the behest of the United States to divert attention from the Arab struggle against Israel. There has long been animosity between Syria and Iraq, which are ruled by rival factions of the Baath socialist party. Street fighting continued Tuesday in Khorramshahr, the key Iranian port city.

Unable to Approach The commander of the Iraqi navy was quoted by the Iraqi government newspaper A1 Thawra as saying Irans navy has been unable to approach Iraqi territorial waters since the first week of the war. The commander, not named by the paper, did not say how many Iranian ships had been knocked out of action. Before the war, Iran had one submarine, three destroyers, four frigates and 32 gunboats and patrol boats, according to the London-base- d International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Trattner confirmed reports that equipment, some of it military-relatedestined for Iraq had been unloaded in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba.

Rothberg Associated Press Writer The tone of the presidential campaign grew more acrimonious Tuesday after President Carter said the election of Republican Ronald Reagan could divide the country and Reagan retorted that the Democratic incumbent is "reaching a point of hysteria." Independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson said he is appalled by the low level to which I think both of the traditional party candidates have taken this campaign." The latest exchange began Monday night in Chicago where Carter said Reagans election could result in black from white, Jew separating from Christian, North from South, rural from urban. Owes Apology to Country? The GOP candidate responded Tuesday while campaigning in a Polish neighborhood in Philadelphia. I think he had some harsh words for the country, not just necessarily for me," ...I think he owes the said Reagan. country an apology. He called Carter a badly misinformed and prejudiced man adding, certainly, hes reaching a point of hysteria thats hard to understand. Anderson, campaigning in Massachusetts, also criticized Carter's remarks. He told a news conference in is really Boston that the president masking his own fear that he is now not going to win the election. The Illinois congressman said Carters tactics "have been offensive to many thinking Americans and really harmful to the political process. Totally Outrageous "When you have the president of the United States say that there Is a danger with the election of a Republican nominee, that you are going to separate Christian and Jew, separate black and white, separate North and South, I think thats totally outrageous," he said later at a news conference in Cambridge, Mass. "I don't say that because I want to defend Mr. Reagan..., Anderson said. "But this is the president of the United States. This is the man who seeks to lead this nation, and then makes an appeal for unity on the basis of a charge that I think is so patently ridiculous, is so patently political, that it almost defies description." While concentrating his fire on Carter, Anderson didnt let Reagan and the Republicans off free, saying: "This See Page 2, Column 4 Inside The Tribune Tribune Telephone Numbers, Page 2 A-- Amusement Bridge Business Classified Comics V Editorials Page B-6- -7 B-- 5 C-- 7 B-4- -5 A-1- 4 Foreign Lifestyle X ; Today's Chuckle S Cents Twenty-Fiv- e AND MORE section; Sears .
