Iraq said Wednesday that it supports a U.N. resolution calling for an immedH ate cease-fire in the gulf war, while Ra jaie-Khorassani said Iran first wants Iraq condemned as the aggressor in the war. Iran and Iraq began the "tanker war" in 1984, raiding ships to choke one another's economies. Last September, Iran began to focus on Kuwaiti charging that the emirate serves as conduit for arms shipments to Iraq, whose ports are closed.

Since May 1 98 1 333 ships ha ve attacked or damaged in the gulf, ac- cording to Lloyd's Shipping Intelli- gence in London. From page Pranks the campaign headquarters to confirm the cancellation. "Other than that, this has been a pretty mild campaign," said Steve Guyton, a Dantin campaign worker. Campaign officials say dirty tricks are usually desperation tactics and take place close to election day. The 1983 governor's race, widely remembered for th6 allegations by a group of Republican Leon Bramlett supporters that Democrat Bill Allain had engaged in homosexual activities, was also marked by a smear campaign Neshoba "I'll be hitting on some of the themes I've been hitting on, but at a different angle," he said.

Others said they will bring along their own cheering sections. Reed's campaign plans to bring in four busloads of supporters from Tupelo and Columbus and another bus from Tides Jr. 0 television, denounced the U.S. convoy as a "naval parade" that creates tension in the gulf Radio Moscow said the U.S. actions were "aggravating tensions in the Persian Gulf." White House Chief of Staff Howard H.

Baker said in Washington that any response to the reflagging of the tankers is "up to Iran," but he added that he was "very hopeful" there wouldn't be any incidents. Tension in the gulf heightened al ter a May 17 Iraqi attack on a U.S. warship, the Stark, which killed 37 crewmen. Baghdad said the attack was a mistake and Washington accepted the explana Tax Boutwell had booked the troupe to appear in a special promotion June 26 and 27. "But I was lucky because I called the ABC the week before after I heard about the other clubs," Boutwell said.

"The state auditor not only has to have financial management skills, he must also have management potential and a keen understanding of the law," said Pete Johnson of Clarksdale, a lawyer and financial consultant who twice has run unsuccessfully for Congress. Said Robertson: "There are a number of people in that office who have more experience in the Audit Department than any of the candidates in this race.

Gov. Evelyn Gandy. As election day neared, fliers stating that Gandy supported segregation in a 1963 campaign turned up in Hatties-burg, Jackson and Bolivar County. The fliers contained a disclaimer that linked them to Democratic challenger Mike Sturdivant.

Sturdivant, a third-place finisher in the 1983 Democratic primary and a contender in this year's race, denied any association with the flier and sought an independent investigation. The fair has been a major stop along Mississippi campaign trails since 1896, when former Gov. Anselm J. McLaurin made a political speech there.

The Senate bill, approved unanimously by the Finance Committee on May 29, would be less costly in part because it would set a higher limit on out-of-pocket payments by Medicare beneficiaries for physicians' services. Rep.

Claude Pepper, the 86-year-old Democrat who is the leading advocate in Congress of programs for the elderly, said the bill passed Wednesday took "a historic first step in providing comprehensive health-care protection" to older people. But the Floridian added: "This is just a beginning. We must do a great deal more." A California Democrat, Rep. Fort-ney H. (Pete) Stark, said: "This bill does not cost the Treasury one red cent.

It is paid for entirely by Medicare beneficiaries." But the Republican whip, Rep. Trent Lott of Mississippi, said the bill showed that "Congress cannot control its insatiable appetite to spend and spend and spend." Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, who is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee which drafted much of the bill, said it was "the most significant and far-reaching expansion of Medicare protection since the program was enacted in 1965." The House bill is based on a proposal made last November by Dr. Otis R. Bowen, the secretary of health and human services.

His proposal was endorsed by Reagan in February after a bitter fight within the administration; ideological conservatives opposed it, saying it would expand the role of the federal government. The House added many new benefits to the president's proposal and introduced a new method of financing: different premiums for different incomes. The supplemental premiums would be collected by the Internal Revenue Service along with individual income taxes. Sixty percent of Medicare beneficiaries would not have to pay these premiums because their incomes are so low that they do not now file tax returns, Stark said. Basic premiums would continue to be deducted from monthly social security checks.

Miami 91.77 Persian Gulf frigate Crommelin and the Kidd steamed nearby. An Associated Press reporter who was part of a Pentagon media pool on the Kidd said the convoy maintained a condition just below General Quarters, the highest state of alert. The United States says Iran, at war with Iraq for nearly seven years, is the major danger to shipping in the gulf, and it allowed Kuwait to register 11 of its state-owned tankers under the American flag to safeguard the flow of oil. The Reagan administration sent a 15-vessel naval task force to the gulf after the Soviets leased Kuwait three tankers and promised military escorts for them. U.S.-supplied Saudi Arabian AW ACS planes are handling reconnaissance.

Iranian President Ali Khamenei vowed Wednesday that his nation would "strike blows to the ominous alliance" of the United States and Kuwait. Iran accuses Kuwait of helping Iraq in the gulf war. Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Cyprus, also quoted Mahdi Marrubi, who is leading pilgrims to Moslem shrines in Saudi Arabia, as saying: "Those who think that by flying the U.S. flag they can help the aggressor to continue his aggression are making a mistake. They should know that we will set these flags on fire." Shipping sources and gulf area diplomats, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, said they didn't expect the Iranians to take any action against the convoy.

"They won't do anything at this stage and let everyone feel complaisance, so the fireworks can come at a later stage," said one shipping official. Iran's U.N. ambassador, Said Rajaie-Khorassani, said Wednesday that Iran won't interfere with the convoy unless Iraqi forces attack Iranian vessels. "A Kuwaiti ship will become immediately a legitimate target if our ships are hit, simply because the revenue of those Kuwaiti tankers will go directly to the war machine of Iraq President Saddam Hussein," he said in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America.
