I think Muzorewa is trying to do hs best. said Harry Quail, a retired white railroad worker, expressing a common view here, but the B. itish and Americans are giving in too much to the Patriotic Front." There is a light of some kind pointing towards success," said John Sibanda. a schoolteacher and admirer of the of Joshua N'komo, a Patriotic Front. The Patriotic Front is accepting the reality that the war is no longer necessary," said a young black chemist who favors a government under Robert Mugabe, the other leader of the Patriotic Front.

For the time being, the objective appears to be the small Arab sheikdoms, some of them sitting on billions of barrels of oil. The ultimate target, according to local intelligence sources, is Saudi Arabia, that vast desert kingdom pumping 9 5 million barrels of oil a day to keep the wheels of the Western economy turning. The whole area is deeply devoted to Islam and its precepts. But the rulers traditionalist families well want neither revolutioentrenched on their thrones nary chaos nor uncontrolled Islamic zeal. , One of the major problems confronting the governments of the Arab Gulf state is the split of the Moslem population between Shiite and Sunni sects. To an outsider, the spilt might seem superficial, centering mainly on the succession to the Prophet Mohammed. The Shiites believe in 12 imams, or chief priests, the last of who will preside over the Day of Judgement. Poorer Citizens Basically, however, the Sunnis rule the Gulf and the Shiites are often considered heretics. They also happen to be the poorer member of the community, and hence more pro n to the intoxicating influence of Ayatollah Khomeini' Iranian revolution. Iran's Moslems are overwhelmingly Shiite. Their revolution is a Shiite quest to do away with Western ideas, which, according to Shute clergy, corrupt the mores of the faithful." What is disturbing to Arab Gulf ruler is the fact that clergymen close to Khomeini have been talking loud and clear about the need to export their revolution Such statements are considered dynamite under the thrones floating on a sea of oil. Cautious Approach embassies have been cautious in . Western evaluating the extent of potential danger. For the time being, no one u panicking, and businessmen from the world over wait patiently in hotel lobbies with contract projects and tender offers in their attache cases. Yet a senes of seemingly insignificant events has marred the Gulf scene since the holy month of Ramadan, which ended in late August Shute Moslems demonstrated in the island emirate of Bahrain, a major service center for the Gulf and a country with liberal ideas. They were dispersed with nightsticks. A number of arrests were made, but the demonstrations were repeated on several occasions.

Ayatollah Khalkali told reporters Monday that after sentencing a torturer of SAVAK, the shah's secret police, to 400 lashes, he allowed the man to offer money to have the sentence reduced. After two weeks of contemplation of the fate that awaited him. Khalkali said, the man offered to pay about $140 for every lash by which his sentence was reduced The ayatollah turned this down, and said he was thinking more in terms of about $210 a lash. Finally, after some bargaining, the judge agreed to take $70,000 for the 400 lashes. Khalkali is the judge who passed a death sentence on the shah and then announced that guerrillas had been dispatched to kill him. On concluding the deal. Khalkali said, be decided the torturer should not escape the lash, so he ordered 50 lashes to be administered anyway. The taste he of the whip will linger forever, commented. Whipping has become a favorite punishment handed out by Iran's revolutionary courts, and a jump in the number of floggings in the last few weeks led one judge to call for an end to unlawful whipping sentences.
