Persian Gulf Continued from Page One Kuwait messaged U.N. Secretary- General Javier Perez de Cuellar, accusing Iran of firing a missile at dawn Friday which fell on a residential and industrial area. KUNA said there was no mention of casualties. It asked Perez de Cuellar "to hasten to bar Iran from pursuing its aggressions against Kuwait." Kuwait-based shipping officials and a senior government official in the gulf said earlier the missile was a Silkworm that came from Iran- occupied territory in Iraq's southern Faw Peninsula. They said it hit in coastal waters about two miles from the al-Ahmadi oil terminal, where two U.S.-reflagged Kuwaiti tankers were moored for loading.

In Washington, Pentagon sources, demanding anonymity, were skeptical that it came that'close, but said it landed about-two-miles from another Kuwaiti ship. The Silkworms can carry a warhead and have a range of up to 50 miles. U.S. warships and aircraft have orders to shoot first if they detect any indication that Iran is preparing to fire a Silkworm. The seventh convoy of the escort operation was expected to clear the 110-mile-long Strait of Hormuz by Sunday.

In Washington, Pentagon sources it was varying its route and speed as it approached the strait. Shipping sources said an Iranian frigate shadowed the convoy from two miles away. Navy officers say such tailing has become common. The convoy included the supertanker Townsend and two gas carriers, Gas Queen and Gas Princess. The missile destroyer Kidd joined the missile frigate Hawes and the cruiser Reeves, which escorted the tankers south from Kuwait, for the final leg, Pentagon sources said.

Texas Weather By The Associated Press Most of the state enjoyed warm temperatures and sunny skies as the Labor Day weekend began Saturday, while the High Plains reported scattered showers. A few showers also dotted the northern sections of the trans- Pecos, the National Weather Service said. The inclement weather in West Texas stemmed from a weak upper-level disturbance just northwest of the area in combination with ample moisture and a weak surface trough of low pressure near the New Mexico-Texas border. Afternoon temperatures were mostly in the 80s in the western half of the state, while readings in the 90s were common elsewhere. The Panhandle remained relatively mild with temperatures in the 70s.

Extremes at 3 p.m. ranged from 71 degrees at Amarillo in the Panhandle to 95 degrees at the Naval Air Station in Dallas and Chase Field Naval Air Station at Beeville in the south. The forecast called for isolated thunderstorms over northwest sections of North Texas Sunday. Otherwise, skies should be generally partly cloudy to fair. Highs should reach the middle to upper 80s in the the higher elevations of West Texas and the 90s elsewhere.
