She said Bames Hospital spent $3 million on indigent patients in 1979 although the facility is not required to accept chanty patients Monday, ' Theotis Little was rushed to Barnes two weeks ago after he was stabbed with a steak knife during a quarrel, officials said. The handle broke off and the blade was inbedded in Little's back near his spinal cord. and Little, 36, underwent other tests for three hours at Bames. But Littles stepfather, Eddie Bostic who said Little had no insurance said doctors at the private hospital refused to remove the knife unless Little could pay for the surgery.

U.S. Radar Planes Several Iranian officials, including Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Rajai, have accused the linited States of using radar planes stationed in Saudi Arabia to spy on Iranian troop movements on behalf of Iraq. A reporter for the Iranian news agency Pars who attended part of the session told the AP by telephone that although Iraq buys most of its weapons from the Soviet Union and none from the Linited States many deputies believed Washington was helping Iraq so Iran would be forced to release the hostages. It said the hostages will not be released until the United States agrees to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's demands. Means of Punishment Khomeini and his revolutionary followers condoned the seizure of the U S Embassy by militant students last Nov. 4 and turned the takeover into a means of punishing the United States for its support of the former shah Khomeini has said the hostages should not be released unless the linited States agrees to free Iranian assets, drops many private and corporate lawsuits against Iran, returns the wealth of the late shah and pledges in Iranian affairs Khomeini also has suggested there should be an apology from Washington, a demand omitted from his most recent statements. The Iranian leader's remarks are viewed by many deputies as guidelines for the Parliaments debate. The implications of the Iraq Iran war have prompted speculation that the Majlis may impose conditions beyond those outlined by Khomeini Rajai said at the United Nations earlier this month that moving the radar planes from Saudi Arabia would be interpreted as "a sign of (U.S.) goodwill" by Iran. q Carter Criticizes Reagan For Veering on Issues AP-NB- self-defen- e Obituary Notices Weekdays before 5 p m Weekdays after 5 p m Sunday s afte. 2pm Saturdays after I p m Iran Fails to Decide Fate of Hostages, U.S. Accused of Aiding Iraq in War - Mrs. hostage issue.
