Egypt (AP) The cancer-stricken ex-Shah of Iran was hospitalized in "very serious" condition Saturday, under treatment by a team of French and Egyptian doctors. President Anwar Sadat reported.

Mohammad Reza JPahlavi. the deposed Iranian monarch who has been living in exile in Egypt for tfee past four months, was readmitted Friday afternoon to the Maadityilitary hospital, where his cancerous spleen was removed in March. Sadat disclosed June 17 that the 60-year-old Pahlavi had suffered a relapse, attributed to complications resulting from chemotherapy for treatment of cancer, which doctors said had spread to his liver. He contracted pneumonia at about the same time. Officials at the hospital refused to discuss the ex-shah's condition.

and his aides were unavailable to Tehran reporters Saturday, a religious holiday in Moslem Iran. What was unclear was whether the Iranian president was making a major shift in his previous, relatively moderate stance on the hostage question, or was merely using tough rhetoric to fend off possible accusations from his political enemies that he is "soft" on the United States. They might level such charges against him in the aftermath of a speech Friday in which Khomeini bitterly criticized the government's performance. Bani-Sadr also said in the speech that he had submitted a standing letter of resignation to Khomeini. By The Associated Press Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, under pressure from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to cure the country's domestic ills, declared in a speech reported Saturday that he considers the U.S.

The ominous remarks by the Iranian leader, with their suggestion of an indefinite detention for the 53 captive Americans, could not be clarified immediately.

Before passage, however, the senators rejected a proposal by Sen.

Jesse Helms, to cut $75 million in foreign aid intended for Nicaragua. Helms' amendment was rejected 44-33. The spending dilemma that faced the senators was illustrated in one vote earlier Saturday, when the Senate voted 47-36 against a proposal to cut $58 million in supplemental funding for the controversial Ten-nessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The $1.8 billion waterway in Alabama and Mississippi, intended to connect the Tennessee River basin with the Gulf of Mexico, is considered by many environmentalists to be a bloated "pork barrel" project, a waste of taxpayer money. Sen.

Moynihan, termed it "an effort to clone the Mississippi River." from federal revenue sharing; $30 million from the Corps of Engineers; $150 million from the Defense Department, intended to come from salaries; and $40 million from Amtrak. The, Amtrak money had been intended to help repay the railroad's debt to the Federal Financing Bank." Approval of the amendment brought the $16 2 billion emergency spending bill back within the Senate's self-imposed budget ceiling. On Friday, the Senate had voted to put $572 million into revenue sharing, a vote that busted the budget ceiling and tied the Senate in knots. Lawmakers searched until nearly midnight Friday for a way to bring the bill back within budget limits, and spent more than eight hours in the effort Saturday before agreeing to the leadership proposal.

Final passage of the emergency spending bill for the current fiscal year came late Saturday night on a vote of 53-22. clearing WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate, biting the bullet after three days of divisive money arguments, reluctantly agreed Saturday to cut $363 million from an emergency spending bill. Later, they approved the emergency measure itself. The Senate agreed to the package of spending cuts by a 71-10 vote, but the enthusiasm did not match the wide margin. The proposal was drafted by Senate leaders, and they admitted they were driven by desperation.

Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the package of cuts was "an effort to get us out of our dilemma." Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd said he supported the package "reluctantly, as we all do." And Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker said. "I don't like it.

But we're in a bind, and we have to work our way through it." The spending cuts included $143 million TMI N-Plant Venting Hits Snag WASHINGTON (UPI) The cancer rate is increasing in the United States, after 30 years of stability, and toxic chemicals may be a factor in one-fifth of all cases, a government study said Saturday. "We estimate that occupational exposure to carcinogens is a factor in more than 20 percent of all cancers," said Gus Speth, chairman of the president's Council on Environmental Quality who headed the 18-agency Toxic Substances Strategy Committee. The incidence of cancer rose 10 percent between 1970 and 1976, the committee said in a report to President Carter. But it noted there are many causes of cancer and Speth cautioned that the role of toxic chemicals in the increase is not clear. "The cancer incidence rate, after adjustments for ace and increasing longevity of the population a rate that had remained relatively stable for the last three decades has increased about 10 percent between 1970 and 1976," he said.

"This does suggest some new or causal factor," he said. "However, we don't know if toxic chemicals played a role in this development. But it is a matter of great concern to us." The report said "the total environment including lifestyle, personal habits, hormonal factors and work and environmental exposures plays a significant role in causing the majority of cancers, causing perhaps 80 to 90 percent of them." "Man-made toxic chemicals are a significant source of death and disease." Speth said. The committee recommended that federal agencies intensify and coordinate efforts to identify carcinogens and limit exposure. Robert Harris, a member of the council, said the production of chemicals took a "dramatic upturn" in the in the 1930s.

Because some cancers take 23 or 30 years to develop, he said, the cancer incidence increase in the mid-70s is being reviewed.

NRC officials and representatives of plant operator Metropolitan Edison Co. explained that two radiation monitor alarms terminated the venting process four minutes after it began at 8 a.m. Met-Ed said it released 12 curies of K-85 during the 4-minute purge Saturday morning. The monitors were intended to detect whether radioactive particles, such as cesium and cobalt, being released into the air were exceeding federal health limits.

Pa. (UPI) The venting of radioactive krypton gas from the crippled Three Mile Island nuclear power plant commenced Saturday, but immediately hit a snag.
