A3 WjrldNssJiioB The Sun TUESDAY, September 15, 1987 Reflagged Iraqi chief demands WORLD Israel, Hungary upgrade their diplomatic relations for Iran A U.N. source traveling with Perez de Cuellar said the U.N. chief "has clarified every aspect" of the council resolution adpoted in July. The official, who briefed reporters with the condition he not be identified, suggested there was a sense of moderation in Iran's stand in the 7-year-old war. "There seems to be a certain like movement, maybe not enough but at least you can talk about things which a year ago when we were there (in Tehran) the first time we were not even able to discuss," said the source.

"Cease-fire, before we never even bothered to speak about that," he added. Hussein met Perez de Cuellar JERUSALEM Israel and Hungary announced agreement Monday on establishment of diplomatic "interest sections" in each other's capital. Hungary is the second Eastern European country with which Israel has set up quasi-diplomatic relations in the last 11 months, after a rupture of 20 years in official ties with most of the Soviet bloc. Last October, similar interest sections were established with Poland. Interest sections are regarded as quasi-embassies, since the officials carry the same rights as diplomats from countries with full diplomatic relations.

Monday's announcement reflected Israel's rapidly improving relations with the Soviet Union and its Eastern European allies. Norway's Labor Party suffers setback punishment Pirn A Trait API President Saddam Hussein Monday urged the United Nations to take "punitive measures" against Iran for failing to respond to a Security Council call for a ceasefire in the Persian Gulf war. Iran and Iraq accused each other of starting new fighting to wreck the peace mission of U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar. But there was no independent confirmation of any significant military action.

Perez de Cuellar arrived in Baghdad on Sunday after two days of talks in Tehran, where Iran's President Ali Khamenei said there could be no end to the war until the U.N. branded Iraq the aggressor and punished it. Pornography sting brings indictments WASHINGTON (AP) More than 100 people are under indictment in two nationwide government sting operations targeting people who answered advertisements offering material containing graphic depictions of child sex, the Justice Department announced Monday. Attorney General Edwin Meese III disclosed at a news conference dozens of U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigators and Customs Service agents have been operating undercover as suppliers of kiddie porn at least since the beginning of the year.

Child pornography "affects all of us and victimizes those most vulnerable, our children," said Meese. He said it "can never be consented to by the children victimized by it, nor condoned by society." In the operation, dubbed Project Looking Glass, postal inspectors sent letters advertising child porn to people whose names had turned up on previously confiscated mailing lists of purchasers of such material. Postal inspectors printed letters on stationery from a fictitious undercover mail order firm, Far Eastern Trading Co. and sent catalogs of child porn items to those who responded to the letter. Federal search warrants were issued following deliveries to recover the material, which consisted mostly of magazines, videotapes and movies seized in earlier raids on porn traffickers.

escort passed each other Monday, one heading into the Persian Gulf and one leaving it, as the U.S. Navy took advantage of a lull in the tanker war. Capt. Skip Dirren, 43, com- i mander of the helicop- ter carrier Guadalcanal, said it was one of the busiest days he had seen in the gulf, with not only the two separate convoys of six ships each, but numerous other tankers on the move. "It's frequently active down here, but this is very unusual," Dirren said.

Iran and Iraq, at war for seven years, have observed a tacit truce in gulf shipping attacks since U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar came to the region on a peace mission Fri-; day. There were fears, however, this will end when he heads for New York today. The two convoys of reflagged Kuwaiti tankers passed within 1,500 yards of each other at mid-morning Monday in the southern gulf, just short of the beginning of the 110-mile Strait of Hormuz. Pentagon officials said in Washington the southbound convoy passed through the strait into the Gulf of Oman "early this (Monday) afternoon." The transit was "uneventful," they added.

The Guadalcanal, at the rear of the southbound convoy, sent four RH-53D Sea Stallion mine sweeper helicopters ahead to clear a path for the convoy coming the other way along a parallel track. Helicopter gunships provided cover for the Sea Stallions. One gunship warned off an Iranian warship shadowing the movements on an unusually clear day. Maj. Bruce "Bugs" Moran, 38, of Jacksonville, N.C., pilot of a Marine CH-46 helicopter, said the Iranian ship sent a message asking Moran to identify himself and to "remain five miles away." "I said, 'Iranian warship, you are approaching an American convoy.

Please change and he did," Moran said. U.S. officers aboard the Guadalcanal identified the Iranian ship as the Bushehr, a large navy cargo and supply vessel. Iranian ships have regularly monitored the activities of the U.S. convoys of Kuwaiti tankers sailing under the American flag.

General Assembly last November condemned the attack, calling it a violation of inter national law and saying Libya had a right to compensation. The Libyan report listed the dead, with Gadhafi's reportedly adopted daughter, 16-month-old Hana, first on the list.

It also listed the wounded, and detailed damage to private property, vehicles, airliners, public buildings, schools, foreign missions and other sites. participant wrote, "When this experience happened to me, I did not know it was wrong.

Union Carbide offered to settle out of court for $350 million in March 1986, but the government instead filed a $3 billion suit on behalf of 531,770 people who claimed damages from the leak. India maintains the gas leak resulted from negligence, but Carbide says it was caused by sabotage. Investigators have determined the wing flaps of the two-engine jetliner, bound for Phoenix, were not in the proper takeoff position, inhibiting the plane's ability to lift. A transcript of conversation between the airport tower and flights in and out of the airport reveals confusion in the cockpit of Flight 255 as the plane left the gate and began heading toward the runway for takeoff. The confusion apparently was compounded when the aircraft was directed to shift runways because of weather conditions.

The preoccupation by the flight crew of the Northwest Airlines MD-80 jetliner before takeoff Aug. 16 from the Detroit airport is considered signficant because it may explain in part why the crew apparently forgot to set the jet's wing flaps.

Secretary General, said "the primary target of the (U.S.) aggression was the life of Col. Moammar Gadhafi."
