BASRA, Iraq (UPI) Iraq today claimed the capture of territory equal to twice the size of Lebanon in what it called a crushing triumph over Iran.

Iran said no Islamic peace initiative could start until Iraq withdraws. Sporadic fighting continued along the southern front in the month-old Gulf war with Iraqi forces racing to build a 60-mile highway across the desert from Basra to consolidate their siege of the Iranian city of Ahwaz. The fall of Ahwaz, capital of Khuzistan province, would give the Iraqis control over some of Iran's richest oilfields, which they intend to keep until Iran negotiates an acceptable settlement. "The Iraqi troops have captured territory that equals twice the area of Lebanon, breaking through six towns in six days," Iraqi Defense Minister Adnan Kheirullah said in an interview with the official newspaper Al Thawra. "Our forces inflicted great losses on the enemy, destroyed all its huge fortifications and compelled it to retreat and be defeated in all battles along different fronts," Kheirullah said.

The Iraqi general command said its forces shot down two Iranian planes, one of them over Baghdad, and sank an enemy supply vessel. The communique said Iraqi forces killed 40 Iranians and lost 24 of their own men in fighting. Tuesday night and this morning. The communique said eight civilians were injured during an Iranian air raid on Baghdad. "Iraqi war jets counterattacked and inflicted severe losses on the enemy in today's air strikes." it said.

The Iraqis said their planes pounded a railway station at Mansuri on the line leading from the Gulf northward to beleagured Ahwaz. Tehran radio said Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Rajai discussed the war with Habib Chatti, Secretary General of the Islamic Conference, and was asked by Chatti whether Iran was agreeable to the arrival of a goodwill mission of Islamic heads of state. "No discussion or action can take place before the Iraqi mercenaries leave Iran," the broadcast quoted Rajai as saying. Taha Yassin Ramadam, Iraq's first deputy premier and army commander, threatened in an interview with the French Le Monde newspaper that Baghdad would capture and hold onto Iran's oil fields until Tehran agreed to negotiate an end to the war.

Andrus Tuesday announced a program to break the deadlock over transfer of 600,000 acres of land owed to eight western states since they joined the union. The policy would allow each state to pool the value of lands lost when the federal government set up national parks, Indian reservations and military bases and trade that acreage for smaller, but more valuable tracts of property, Utah and other western states had claimed the right to take title to energy-rich lands on an acre-for-acre basis in exchange for the "school sections" that were given up to the federal government. In 1975 Utah claimed title to Israelis launch attack TEL AVIV, Israel Israeli warplanes struck several Palestinian guerrilla bases south of Beirut today in the second such attack in a month, the military command said.

All planes returned safely to base, the command said, and pilots reported direct hits on their targets. The military declined to give further details immediately and there was no indication how many targets were hit or where south of Beirut they were situated. It was the first known attack from the air since Sept. 17 when Israeli fighterstruck Rashidiyeh along the south Lebanese coast. Israeli infantry and paratroopers staged a deeppenetration ground assault 7 miles northwest of the northernmost Israeli town of Metulla Thursday and the command said they killed up to 15 guerrillas.

The air strike was carried out in accordance with an 8- year-old standing policy to seek out and destroy the guerrillas wherever they can be found. The intent of the persistent air and ground strikes in Lebanon is to keep the guerrillas off balance and to force them to use their manpower for defensive instead of offensive purposes. 156,000 acres of oil shale land in the eastern part of the state. But in a landmark ruling earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the claim saying states must trade lost lands for property of equal value.

Speaking at a news conference in Salt Lake City with Gov. Scott Matheson, Andrus said the federal government owes the land debt to Utah, California, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming. The total debt is about 600,000 acres, he said. "Under this program, states may choose fewer acres and higher values," the secretary said. "The federal government has been working hard to bring this situation to a rapid conclusion." Andrus predicted the final land transfers would be completed by 1984.

When the states joined the union, they were promised ownership of four 640-acre sections in each township to support public school systems. But title to the property was not transferred until the acreage was surveyed. In the meantime, the federal government withdrew thousands of acres to set up military installations, Indian reservations and national parks. The states were allowed to make selections in lieu of the lost lands, but never collected the total acreage owed them. Many states deliberately delayed selections hoping to acquire the most valuable property available.

Utah which is still owed 227,000 acres attempted to claim the oil shale lands, saying it was forced to give up 156,000 acres of lands containing mineral deposits. But the Interior Department objected, saying not all of the mineral sections were as valuable as the oil shale. Utah sued the government and two federal courts upheld the state's claim. But the Supreme Court overturned those rulings, thus deadlocking the selection process in all eight states. Bay.
