Tuesday's riot, in which 500 to 1,000 Iranian students battled with police, breaking windows, overturning autos and setting vegetation afire on trie Beverly Hills hillside, sparked calls by Los Angeles area officials and commentators for action against the students, including deportation of convicted rioters. SEVEN STUDENTS were arrested and two of them were arraigned Thursday.

Hamid and Said Parcham, two brothers who said they were students at the University of Southern California, pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges of vandalism and rioting. They were being held In jail after failing to post a bond of $10,000 each. Following the riot, the princess and the queen mother, accompanied by a reported 90 pieces of luggage and a collection of exotic birds, were removed by State Department security agents. They reportedly rented one entire floor of 33 rooms at an airport hotel for one night before fleeing to Annenberg's estate. ing at Tehran international airport without radar assistance because of continuing strikes by air traffic controllers to protest the shah's regime.

Government sources said they expected parliament to meet Sunday to approve the new government formed by Bakhtiar at the request of the shah. OIL INDUSTRY sources said production had gone up as a result of an understanding between the striking workers and opposition leader Mehdl Bzargan who was reported negotiating in the southern oilfields area. The sources said no specific production figures could be confirmed "due to the prevailing situation." "It's definitely not up to the mark," said the sources, "but Bzargan still is trying." The critical fuel shortage caused housewives and children carrying gas cans to line up in front of kerosene retail shops in Tenran. At the few gasoline stations still functioning, the lines of cars waiting for fuel got longer. OtI industry sources said the fuel shortages were "much worse" because trucking services had halted.

this, saying, "This dinner was and always has been public knowledge. I have discussed it openly. However, I have never felt that a dinner should be treated as a financial transaction." Bayh's press secretary, Carol Sanger, said that just before Christmas the senator received from Civiletti a copy of-the Justice Department letter notifying Chairman Adlai Stevenson (D-Ill.) that the investigation was dropped. Miss Sanger said Bayh was pleased. "It was no suprise," she said.

Bayh was unavailable for comment. He was out of the city on a skiing vacation in Colorado with his son, Evan. Rancho Mirage, Calif. (UPI) Walter Annenberg, former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain who is sheltering the shah of Iran's mother and a sister, said he is not worried about the possibility of Iranian demonstrators storming his estate.

A spokesman for the State Department security service confirmed that "state, federal and local law enforcement agencies are involved" in guarding the women on Annenberg's 900-acre walled estate I2ii miles outside of Palm Springs and near the homes of former President Gerald Ford and former Vice President Spiro Agnew. HOWEVER, THE local sheriff's office refused to comment on how many, if any, officers were watching the area, referring all questions to Washington. The scene was quiet Friday morning as a heavy rain deluged the area. In Washington, Attorney General Grif-fen Bell, reacting to Tuesday's riot at the Beverly Hills estate of the shah's sister, said those Iranians found guilty of violence could be deported. He said the United States was "not Iran Continued From Page 1 but described it as one of a series designed "to continue reviewing the situation in countries with which we have important defense relationships." THE SPOKESMEN said Huyser had met with Ambassador William Sullivan and other U.S.

officials. They declined to give further details. But defense sources said the discussions included the sensitive topics of whether Iranian military leaders will lose the influence they have had in the past, and what effect that might have on security in Iran itself and the region. Iran has received more than $8 billion in sophisticated U.S. weapons in the last six years including F-14 fighter planes with top secret Phoenix missiles.

U.S. officials say the Phoenix missiles which have not been given to any ally other than Iran are kept under extremely tight security apart from the planes. The United States also keeps highly sensitive electronic surveillance equipment at a network of monitoring stations along the Soviet border. Pentagon sources acknowledged plans have been updated to remove from the surveillance posts the top secret electronic snooping gear, which could be flown out to neighboring Turkey by C-130 transport planes landing on short airstrips near the stations. OFFICIALS SAID Huyser, deputy U.S.

commander in Europe under Gen. Alexander Haig, would report on his visit to Defense Secretary Harold Brown. Huyser is expected to meet with senior Iranian military leaders, although no direct meeting is now scheduled with the shah, and is also scheduled to stop in Saudi Arabia for military consultations. The shah returned Friday to Tehran from a brief holiday with his, family as thousands of anti-shah demonstrators marched in peaceful protest in eight cities. Opposition leaders called for a nationwide strike on Sunday.

going to put up with this kind of conduct by visitors to this country." "All participants in such violence will be deported to the extent the law permits or requires." Annenberg, a wealthy publisher, is a friend of Richard Nixon and has enter-' tained the former president at his estate. Annenberg confirmed Thursday night that the queen mother, Tadj Yl Moluk, who is more than 90, and Princess Shams had arrived by car Wednesday night. IN AN EXCLUSIVE interview with Lisle Shoemaker, editor of the Desert Sun newspaper, Annenberg said he felt obligated as a U.S. citizen to shelter the Iranian royalty from the "anarchistic drive to murder them." Asked whether he feared similar demonstrations or an assault by the students at least 1,400 of whom were camped at a university 100 miles away on the northern edge of Los Angeles, holding their annual convention Annenberg replied: "If they come, so be it." He said it was his idea to offer shelter for the royal family. He said he would make the same offer to the shah, but Premier-designate Shahpour Bakhtiar put final touches to his new government of "honest elders and some new faces" which he will present to the shah today.

About one thousand anti-shah demonstrators carrying photographs of comrades killed by army gunfire marched in Tehran. There were other protests against the shah in five western and two southern cities which Iranian radio said were peaceful. THE NATIONAL Front opposition to the shah, which expelled ana denounced Bakhtiar, has designated Sunday as a day of mourning for those killed by the shah's soldiers. The Front has also called for a general strike Sunday and was expected to use the day of mourning for a campaign against Bakhtiar, whom demonstrators condemn as a "henchman to the American imperialists." A Front spokesman said, "We are not calling for any demonstrations." Political sources, however, reported that similar protests in the past had resulted in street demonstrations and killings. The exodus of foreigners from Iran continued with pilots taking off and land Bayh Continued From Page 1 had nothing to do with Korean influence-buying.

"The committee is critical of my not reporting to them an offer by Mr. Park to be helpful in my 1974 campaign. I rejected this offer," Bayh said. "I rejected this offer because I felt it was unwise and inappropriate to accept campaign assistance from one who is not an American citizen." THE COMMITTEE also noted that Tongsun Park had given a dinner party honoring Bayh and his wife, Marvella, Bayh's statement also had touched on AT CT7 CU. BOTH "MO X'.

There was the security strictness one could expect with four world leaders gathered under one roof but reporters lunching on the terrace oi the Hotel Meridien a few hundred yards away could watch the security site and topless sun bathers barely a hundred yards from the conference site. German sources said the four leaders had agreed to try to maintain "equilibrium between China, the Soviet Union and the United States." The German source warned, however, that a British sale of Harrier jets would "come close to the alarm line" in upsetting that equilibrium. The source said that Germany "of course" would continue to support normal relations with China "but is not in a mood to fill every desire articulated by the Chinese." GERMANY WILL support almost unlimited trade, the source said, but will oppose the sale of arms, including defensive weapons to Peking. organized and hard-working neighborhood organizations.

However, he warned dissident neighborhood groups they will not succeed by arguing instead of trying to solve their problems. "To these groups I say, work with us, not against us," the mayor said. "If you have the betterment of your neighborhood at the forefront of your goals, rhetoric and name-calling won't get the job done." In the area of crime prevention, Hudnut said his administration intends to continue its effort to lower the crime rate this year through the following steps: The police narcotic squad will step up its educational programs in city schools. The arson squad of the Indianapolis Fire Department will institute an information award system to aid in the solving of arson cases. The special investigation unit of the Indianapolis Police Department "will undertake a greater interest" in white-collar crimes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS Department of Transportation had 44 trucks out since midnight Thursday, spreading salt on icy patches. James Sawyer of DOT said the number of trucks would be reduced to 12 early today unless the accumulation mounted to two or three inches. If heavy snow arrives today, at least 50 pieces of equipment will be out today and Sunday in an effort to keep the streets ready for Monday morning's rush-hour traffic, he said. A broken water pipe, frozen by this week's low temperatures, flooded offices Friday in the Graphic Arts Building, 215 North Senate Avenue, which houses a number of state government agencies. Two to 3 inches of water covered the carpet in the office of John Annarino, program director for the motor vehicle inspection program, who was forced to use a push broom to clean up.

Meanwhile, a major winter storm clobbered the nation's midsection Friday with freezing rain, sleet and snow, while work crews in western New York tried to clear away up to 18 inches of snow from' squalls off Lake Erie. The storm left a sheet of ice on most roads in eastern parts of Texas and Oklahoma and dumped up to three inches of snow in southern Illinois, Tennessee and northern Alabama. Hundreds of travelers were stranded overnight in the small farm community of Perry, because of icy conditions on Interstate 35. More than 250 people slept in a National Guard armory and another 150 were taken in by Perry residents. VICKI HOMER of Mystic, one of those who slept at tne armory, said she, her husband and their two children also were stranded in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nebraska in the past three weeks.

"We've been trying to get to California since Dec. 22," Mrs. Homer said. "We were trying to cross the country on Interstate 80, but the weather kept forcing us south, I guess we'll ena up in Dallas before it's over." However, Texas was not much better. The storm moved southeastward across the state, producing freezing drizzle, sleet and snow.

And at the top of the Panhandle, snow drifts remained knee-deep in places. "I don't much care about snow anyway," said Frostie Hickerson of Spear I -3 Allied Continued From Page 1 answer questions. Hunt mentioned the agreement on China in the context of "the new strategic balances that are appearing in the world." Conference officials said the subject of China also was discussed the light of its modernization program and the negotiations it has concluded or is conducting to acquire technology', new plans and a wide range of other items. Callaghan told the other leaders of a deal signed by Britain under which China will buy goods worth $2 billion, including Harrier jump-jet fighters, power stations, computers and ships Schmidt warned his colleagues against rushing to provide China with everything "from bombs to buttons" and urged Western cooperation in negotiating deals with Peking THE FOUR LEADERS met a few yards from gentle breakers washing the white sands of the Hamak Hotel resort complex, a group of 29 bungalows set in Park Continued From Page 1 preserve neighborhoods, Downtown development, he noted, "is inextricably intertwined with neighborhood preservation. The downtown provides the heartbeat, the neighborhoods the lifeblood for our city "A glowing downtown means nothing, if it is not surrounded by stable prosperous neighborhoods." the Republican mayor said.

Hudnut said government alone cannot preserve areas: "It is essential that the private sector invest in the inner city to attract people back and discourage those who might leave for an outlying area He said the city "has dedicated more than $9 million to housing rehabilitation efforts in 1979 alone. All these efforts will provide additional low-cost housing for those with low and moderate incomes about whom we should be concerned."

"We feel like we were drowning in accidents." And a spokesman for the sheriff's department added, "Do not drive unless it's absolutely imperative," Two major pileups occurred during the afternoon on westbound 1-70 east of Holt Road and another major tie-up was reported on westbound 1-70 near the Shadeland Avenue exit. Indianapolis police reported "traffic tie-ups all afternoon on 1-65 near Shelby and Raymond streets Other dancer areas reported by state foe lice were on 1-63 south from the inner oop to 1465 and on 1-70 east between Rural Street and Shadeland Avenue I', 1 nr" (Star Phorej JOHN ANNARINO MOPS FLOOR Frozen Water Pipe Causes Flood U.S.

presidential press secretary Jody Powell said the subject of Iran had come up in the mornings talks, but as part of a broader context. German sources said Iran had not been discussed in detail but that Germany felt the shah's chances of remaining in office were slim. The French spokesman said simply that the world energy situation had been discussed from the political viewpoint. Tackling the other major topic of the morning, Schmidt gave the other leaders a rundown on the recent mini-summit he attended in Jamaica. The Jamaican conference had discussed problems between rich and poor countries and ways to get the so-called North-South dialogue back on track.

The four leaders left their secluded beach resort at lunchtime to eat suckling pig at a restored creole home imported from Louisiana. Before the talks, described by spokesmen as frank and extremely friendly, Mr. Carter got up early to swim and jog "two or three miles" on the adjacent golf course and the beach. The IPD and Marion County Prosecutor's Office will work on plans to speed up the criminal justice system "to make sure that criminals are put behind bars, where they belong." Marion County Sheriff James Wells also has pledged his cooperation in this endeavor, Hudnut said. THE MAYOR ALSO said his administration will try to reduce unemployment, which he said is particularly high among blacks.

However, he added, "finding a solution must be the joint effort of government, business and labor." Hudnut told the Kiwanis: "Our spirit is our most important asset. The blizzard of last winter and our response to that crisis as a community made me aware of it," the mayor said. "We rallied round. We did not quit. Paralyzed, we dug out.

We experienced a larger sense of family. We really cared about each other. We pitched in to help each other in extraordinary fashion. We performed as a gathered people innumerable acts of courage and unselfishness. "We showed a lot of spirit." man, Texas.

"It's hard on wildlife, hard on pets and young people, and it's hard on the elderly. If we could just get a good old rain, it sure would be nice." DALLAS POWER Light Co. officials said about 30,000 to 40,000 people remained without heat or light from a storm on New Year's Eve. The city appealed to the state and U.S. military for money and manpower to help restore power.

Up to three inches of snow forced many schools to close in southern Illinois and contributed to a rash of traffic accidents in Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee. "1-65 north to the Kentucky line is wall-to-wall accidents," a dispatcher for the Nashville District Highway Patrol said. A seven-car pileup was reported along Interstate 29 near Kansas City International Airport Friday morning. IN NEW YORK, squalls spawned-by cold air and winds traveling over the warmer waters of Lake Erie dumped up to a foot and a half of snow Thursday in sections of Niagara County, north of Buffalo. "We're just holding our own," a Buffalo snowplow dispatcher said.

"We plow and the roads fill right in again." The upper Midwest was in a deep freeze for the fourth straight day. Temperatures hovered around zero, with wind chill factors near 20 degress below zero.
