Ayalollah Seyyed AH Khameni of Iran's Supreme Defense Council, military representative of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, today said: "the puppet and mercenary Iraqi government has started air raids against Iranian Iranian army will not tolerate aggression and shall give a bitter lesson to (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein," according to Tehran Radio. An Iranian revolutionary guard' commander said MiGs bombed airports at Ahvaz, Hamadan, Tabriz, Dezful, Tolumbeh Sabz near Ahvaz, Boushehr, as well as Tehran. Another person called a Western reporter Debate For Anderson, being there was a partial victory. The independent candidate whose support in public opinion polls has been running at about 15 percent, hoped participation in the debate would bolster his candidacy. The opening question from the six- person panel dealt with inflation.

Answering first, Anderson said, "Gov. Reagan is not responsible for what has happened over the past four years, nor am Warning that inflation could surge he said: "The man who should be here tonight to respond to those charges chose not to attend." When Reagan responded to the same question, he also referred to "the man who isn't here tonight." Tehran and reported the airports in Tabriz, Ahwaz and Boushehr were bombed concurrently. An earlier report from a witness to the Tehran airport bombing said an Iranian Phantom jet fighter bombed Mehrabad Airport and was shot down by other Iranian fighter planes. He quoted a friend at the airport as saying "many have been killed." There was no immediate explanation of how an Iranian Phantom jet could have been involved. A spokesman at the Mehrabad control tower said an Iranian Air Force Boeing 707 was damaged in the attack, as was housing under construction in the area.

A second witness said earlier there was a fire at the Mehrabad Airport, -caused by careless workers. Continued From Page 1 Anderson quickly shifted his attack to Reagan. When they turned to defense spending, Anderson said, "Unlike Governor Reagan, I do not support a boondoggle like the MX missile." He said the initial cost would be $54 billion. Reagan responded that he does support the MX, but he contended the $54 billion figure would be the cost of the basing mode proposed and later dropped by the Carter administration. They disagreed strongly on abortion, with -Reagan supporting a constitutional amendment banning abortions except to save the life of the mother and.

Anderson saying, "I believe in freedom of choice." Continued From Page 1 Gov. Bill Clinton was touring the missile silo site today, the first official other than military personnel allowed in the area. The Air Force said the news media also would be permitted a tour. Air Force crews worked in secrecy Sunday to remove debris from the farmland where pieces of the Titan II missile scattered after an explosion in its silo early Friday, killing one person, and the Defense Department ngnin declined to say whether a nuclear warhead was involved. The Hev.

Tommy Hall assailed the official silence during his sermon at Hie First Baptist Church, saying Damascus residents have a right to know what risks they faced "because we arc Americans, we are paying the bills." "We don't want secrets revealed to us. All we want is the truth," he said in a 20-minute sermon. Some 1,400 area residents were temporarily evacuated after the explosion. The blast catapulted the warhead out of the underground silo, according to tapes of military radio transmissions monitored by the Arkansas Gazette. The New York Times today quoted military sources as confirming that an unarmed nuclear warhead was aboard the missile.

Brown announced the safety investigation amid expression of concern from members of Congress and sources close to the Strategic Air Command about the Titan II system's safety and usefulness. Brown said on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation" program that warheads are designed to ensure against accidental detonation, butadded: "I've instructed the Air Force, after talking with the president, to make a careful look at the safety in all the. nine what other installations, and examine can be done to further minimize chances of accidents, and to examine the Titan force and its safety in general." An unidentified government source told The New York Times the- warhead involved in the accident was an older, larger model and the smaller new models might not have come through the explosion as well.

mil toia me inai iroy is carrying tne man now, and enjoying't. Farther along, still heading west, I came to what used to be known as Reid's Store, but now is operated by Carolyn Rowe, who brought me up to date on that section of the Forest Chapel Community. When asked about political interest, she said the people were reading, listening and looking. Apparently that is political-minded community where residents take their politics seriously. "It's been like this for a long time," Carolyn said.

That's how it should be in every community. When I asked about the garden of the Bill Bell's, she smiled. They make a dandy, apparently, and have put some new wrinkles into it. But I had to hurry along and missed seeing it. Rufus Merritt of Clardy tells me he believes the old Marvin bridge with initials scratched on the concrete probably was torn out last year during all that road-raising in the community.

So it seems that in my search for the bridge I was not only a bridge too far but a year too late. I There was no official government, comment on either report. All communications were functioning sporadically with the airport, four miles west of Tehran. The report came one day after Iraq and Iran each claimed heavy damage to the other in a naval and artillery battle at the head of the Persian Gulf. It was the heaviest fighting so far in the border war between the two oil giants.

Baghdad Radio said Iraqi forces Destroyed eight Iranian gunboats in the Shatt al-Arab estuary and the Iranian naval base at Khosrowabad, 20 miles south of the Abadan oil refinery. It admitted the loss of one Iraqi patrol boat. The Iraqi news agency said Iraqi forces attacked after Iranian gunboats opened fire on a British cargo ship sailing toward the Iraqi port of Basrah. The agency said the bridge of the British ship was hit, but the vessel continued its journey and the Iranian gunboats were repulsed. The agency said Iraqi gunboats also drove off Iranian gunboats" that approached a Kuwaiti ship and a Singapore ship sailing in the waterway.

Meanwhile, Tehran Radio said Iranian forces sank an Iraqi vessel and drove four others aground during the fighting. It said Iran lost a police boat and a number of crewmen were injured and that artillery, tanks, missiles and other "heavy machinery" took part in the battle. An Iranian army communique reported heavy fighting all along the Shatt al-Arab's 60 miles and said the Khorramshahr oil terminal and Abadan Airport were affected. It reported the entire Iraqi border along the waterway was under heavy Iranian artillery fire. The Iraqi news agency said "Arab youths of Arabistan" rocketed Abadan Airport and the port of Khorramshahr, destroying part of the airport and killing or wounding "several" people.

It added that fire could be seen in Khorramshahr. It said "Arabistan militants" also attacked an Iranian army camp near Al Beemah, killing or wounding "several" soldiers. Iran and Iraq have been sparring along their borders for months, but the fighting escalated last week after Iraq canceled a 1975 treaty which ended the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's support of a Kurdish rebellion in northern Iraq and in return put the last 60 miles of the boundary between the two countries down the middle of the Shatt al-Arab. Secretary of Defense Harold Brown told CBS-TV's "Face The Nation" the border fighting was "not a major war," but added: "I think it is very dangerous to both of those countries; it's very dangerous to all countries in the region, and it's potentially dangerous to the peace of the world."
