Acting Superintendent Hayes Lewis said the Zuni School District, carved from the Gallup-McKinley County District, will better meet the needs of Zuni children. By RUTH ANN RAGLAND Associated Press Writer The Zuni Indian Tribe will stage a "Takeover Ceremony" Tuesday to officially recognize that the newly created Zuni School District the first new district in the state in 30 years is legally in power. The district, which will enroll 98 percent Zuni students, is a culmination of a decade of effort to break away from the Gallup-McKinley County District to provide "the kind of attention our children said Acting Superintendent Hayes Lewis. "There's never been a Zuni person on the Gallup-McKinley County Board," said Lewis, who holds a masters degree in education administration from Harvard.

"We felt the decisionmaking was too far removed from our community." State School Superintendent Leonard DeLayo, who is scheduled to attend the "takeover ceremony," said the Zuni district is the first created in his 16 years 'V Afghan Rebels Are Strong MOST TALENTED Ms. Dana Lynne Friesen of Carlsbad was judged the most talented contestant at the Miss New Mexico 21st annual pageant in Hobbs WASHINGTON (AP) The anti-Marxist insurgency in Afghanistan appears to be gaining strength six months after Soviet army divisions entered the mountain country to quell rebel tribesmen. That is the assessment of U.S. military specialists who say they believe the Soviet Union will be forced to commit thousands of additional troops. Even then, these specialists predict, it will take years for the Russians to suppress the rebellion.

"The Soviet security situation continues to slide," said one officer who closely studies detailed information on developments in Afghanistan. "Present Russian forces are barely adequate to maintain security in the major urban areas and along the main supply and communication routes," he added. "There is no stalemate. The insurgency is showing more signs of strength. The partisans are inflicting more casualties on the Russians.

I can't see the Soviets allowing this to continue. They will have to put in more troops." U.S. analysts suggested that the Russian army, which has kept largely to the few main roads across Afghanistan, will have to change tactics and strike out more boldly into the Shah Has Surgery CAIRO, Egypt (AP) The deposed Shah of Iran underwent surgery today to remove water and pus that have built up in his lungs because of pneumonia, a reliable source reported. The source, who declined to be identified, said the operation lasted about one hour and was conducted at the Maadi military hospital in suburban Cairo. There was no immediate word on its success or the ex-shah's condition.

The semi-official Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram had said the operation would involve insertion of a tube at the base of the lung to draw out the fluid. Ex-Iranian monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, 60, was readmitted to the hospital Friday, three months after a team of doctors there removed his cancerous spleen shortly after his arrival from Panama. After the splenectomy, doctors said the lymphatic cancer from which he' has suffered for years had spread to his liver and would be treated with chemotherapy. But Al Ahram said the doctors recently suspended the anti-cancer drug treatments because they believed weakened his resistance to infection and led to the onset of pneumonia two weeks ago. Pneumonia is a common side effect while undergoing chemotherapy, according to one prominent Egyptian doctor.

He said the anti-cancer drugs lower the blood's count of white cells the body's chief defense against infection. The presence of water and pus in the lungs was a further com-' plication of pneumonia, Al Ahram said. I. The Al Ahram report earlier today said two French doctors who arrived Sunday recommended the operation be postponed for at least 48 hours so they could make furl ther tests on Pahlavi. The" newspaper said an American chemotherapy specialist, ideni tified only as Dr.

Coleman, also arrived in Cairo to assist in the treatment of the former monarch.

Individuals dressed in leather, others in sequins and one man ho wore nothing at all wove their own color into the tapestry of the march, speeches and carnival. The march was one of several across the country marking Gay Pride Week to commemorate the so-called Stonewall Rebellion, a battle between homosexuals and New York police in 1969.

In New York, at least 10,000 homosexuals marched up Fifth Avenue in a boisterous demonstration that concluded with a rally in Central Park. Thousands of spectators braved 100-degree heat and lined sidewalks along the parade route Sunday in Houston to catch a glimpse of the 49 flower and ribbon-decorated floats and costumed riders in its parade. 32. In addition, Filas says, a curved outline near the markings matches the clipped edge of an almost identical existing coin from the reign of Pilate. He speculated that the coins were placed over the body's eyes to keep them closed in death.

He said this theory is supported by the findings of a group of scientists who examined the, shroud in 1978. HOBBS (AP) Teresa Elizabeth Anderson, 21, was crowned Miss New Mexico in the 21st annual pageant Saturday. Miss Anderson, who is Miss Hobbs, sang "New York, New York' for her talent exhibition. -1 She is a senior at College of the Southwest in Hobbs, studying English and journalism. The first runner up was Gloria Marie D'Arezzo, who is Miss Eastern New Mexico University.

The second runner up was Dana Lynne Friesen, who is Miss Carlsbad. Miss Friesen, 19, also won the talent award for singing "Summertime" from "Porgy and Bess." The Miss Congeniality award went to Miss University of New German Leader Visiting Brezhnev as superintendent. The Los Alamos District previously was the newest district. It became part of the state public school system in 1950. The state Board of Education voted unanimously in early January to carve the Zuni district out of the sprawling 5,500 square-mile Gallup-McKinley County district.

"The district was just too big for adequate focus on the particular problems of any given community," Lewis said. "Even through this transition process, we've been able to see changes in involvement. It really makes a difference." Lewis said the district's first permanent school superintendent, David Johnston of Kittery, Maine, will bring to Zuni "a lot of his ideas and attitudes about working with people that really fit in with what the school board has in mind establishing school-community relations, providing services to the community and special kinds of enrichment programs." Johnston, 35, has been assistant school superintendent in Kittery. Three Zunis and two non-Indians who work for the tribe were elected to the district's first school board March4. "The board is going to have the ability to make a lot of necessary changes in programs and policies that we wouldn't have had as part of the Gallup district," he said.

Lewis said a state Department of Education study about three years ago showed that Zuni High School had a "really excessive" dropout rate" of about 43 percent, "the highest dropout rate in the state of New Mexico. "It's those kind of things that, have been happening for a long time that caused people to do something," Lewis said. HThe only way we could do it is through local control of education." Lewis said the new district will be ready for its 1,700 students, kindergarten through grade 12, when the school bell sounds this fall. But "it's taken a lot of organizational development and work," he said. He said that by this week, "all of our federal projects we applied for will be funded." These total $1.2 million.

"We also have received tentative approval for operational budget" from the state for $3 million. Lewis also expects hiring of an 83-person teaching staff and 85 support personnel to be completed by this week, and the new district's school buildings are getting a fresh paint job. Lewis called the new endeavor "exciting. It's really taken a lot of work, especially from our staff. But we've been lucky to recruit people who are very capable in doing this kind of work.

After the new school district opens its doors this fall, its administration and board face more challenges, Lewis said. "A major task coming up this year will be to review, evaluate and redesign the curriculum for Zuni schools," he said. "We expect the administrative staff as well as the teaching staff, parents and students to be involved so that we can begin development of curriculum more suited to our community." side, hands and feet. According to Filas, photographic negatives of the 'shroud show that over the figure's right eye, there appear marks resembling a small staff and four Greek letters, part of the inscription "Of Tiberias Caesar." Coin experts say the staff, called a "lituus," appears only on coins minted during Pilate's reign. "I don't see any hole in the evidence," Filas said.

"I think countryside. As things stand now, they said, the rebels have a free run and effective control of wide areas of the country outside the major cities and away from the main routes. The analysts, who asked to remain anonymous, dismissed as insignificant the pullout of Soviet troops announced by the governmentrlast week. They are satisfied that the withdrawal was limited to about 5,000 men and that these troops along with their rocket artillery and anti-aircraft weapons were excess baggage in a war being waged against mostly small bands of tribesmen. A number of Soviet fighter planes also are reported to have left for home.

Armed helicopters are more suited to this kind of warfare, but Soviet chopper crewb are said to be learning new lessons at some cost estimated at between 10 and 15 helicopters a month shot down. The Russian army is now believed to have about 80,000 troops in Afghanistan, built around five combat divisions. The Afghan army, whose stength topped 100,000 only two years ago, is said to be down to about 40,000 to 50,000, with only some 15,000 to 25,000 of them considered even marginally combat effective. major Western leader since the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan last December. Schmidt believes that setting: into motion a new round of Soviet-American talks on missile reduction is the "most important" objective in his talks with the 73-year-old Soviet president and Communist party chief, West German government sources said.

The Soviets have already begun installing medium-range SS20 nuclear missiles in Central Europe that can hit anywhere in Western Europe with multiple warheads. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization countered last December by voting to station 572 new U.S. medium-range nuclear missiles in Western Europe by 1983, provoking-a storm of Soviet protest that the action would spur the arms race. Schmidt suggested in a speech this spring that in the years before the missiles were put into plac, the United States and the Soviet Union could negotiate a reduction in the number of weapons. The Carter Administration interpreted the proposal to mean a freeze on the weapons, giving the Soviets an advantage because of their missiles already in place.

Little Argus -) SAN FRAN SCO (AP)-There were marches marking the achievements in several cities past decade's in homosexual rights, but none matched San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day parade and celebration. Colorful, diverse and a bit ribald, Sunday's annual event drew about 100,000 people along a 1-mile route. The marchers offered a full spectrum of the gay experience of this city, where some estimate 10 percent of the 650,000 residents are homosexual. Dozens of floats representing "Gay Professionals," "Gay.

Lawyers," "Gay Doctors" and "Gay Realtors" bobbed amid the mass of humanity along the parade route. Many of the more than 100 groups that marched carried Several dozen motorcycles driven by lesbians roared by, the this is as good, a test authenticity as we could hope for." Filas, a professor of theology, said he discovered the marks accidentally in August; 1979 while examining an enlargement of the figure's face. With the help of a Chicago-area coin dealer, Filas matched the markings on the shroud with a type of coin minted only between A.D. 30 A.D. and A.D.

Evidence Researcher Claims Turin Shroud The scientists, in the June issue of National Geographic, reported that two three-dimensional "buttons" ap-peared-to have been placed over the eyes of the body hat was wrapped in the shroud. They concluded that imprint on the cloth was the impression of a three-dimensional figure that had been wrapped in the cloth. The scientists said they could not determine exactly how the imprint was made. CHICAGO (AP) A Loyola University researcher says he has new evidence the possibility of coins placed over the eyes of Jesus to support a claim that the Shroud of was Christ's burial cloth. The Rev.

Francis L. Filas, in a copyrighted pamphlet released today, says several tiny marks on the shroud nave been almost positively identified as the impressions of a coin minted during the reign of.
