get on with it motion to delay consideration failed 5449 Later Weaver was among the 38 representatives mostly Democrats who voted against the measure In general Republicans and Democrats of both houses have espoused the concept And Democrat John Carlin said during his campaign tor governor that he favored an exemption for utility bills Since his election however Carlin has not pursued the matter and in his budget message he recommended additional millions in state aid to local governments for schools and roads instead That aid is designed to provide property tax relief A CARLIN SPOKESMAN said Thursday that the governor would not say whether he would veto the sales tax relief measures if they get to his desk Under the utility measure residential and agricultural sales of electricity gas water and local telephone service would be exempt from the state 3 percent tax Such sales would not however be exempt from locally imposed sales taxes now charged by 15 Kansas cities

and how fast the ayatollah intends to press his crusade for an Islamic Republic will not be known for a day or two But the militancy of his speech at the cemetery diplomatic analysts believe suggests that he may be preparing for another season of strife if it is needed to bring the government and the armed forces under his control He manifested no interest whatsoever in compromise In an interview

be for both of us" ELKO HAD recalled Flood's advice as: all you can while you can get it" Defense attorney Axel Kleiboemer defending his client against 11 charges of bribery conspiracy to commit bribery and lying under oath in the successful prosecution of Elko last year presented a sharply contrasting picture Elko Kleiboemer said is a proven "con man" who took advantage of an "elderly frail overworked man" anxious throughout his career to provide jobs and housing for the poor in his district and to aid the handicapped and oppressed The next step in Elko's scheme according to the defense lawyer was to send letters over Flood's signature and to make phone calls to federal officials pressing them to finance the projects Kleiboemer said then would tell the applicants for federal aid what

Daniel Flood D-Pa who is charged with accepting about 860000 in bribes The jurors went into seclusion at 4:12 pm to consider the complex often conflicting testimony but quit for the night after nearly two hours of discussion They were to resume deliberations this morning During final arguments Thursday afternoon the jury of eight men and four women heard two widely disparate word portraits of Flood THE PROSECUTION depicted Flood the 75-year-old 16-term dean of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation as the greedy senior member of a in with Stephen Elko his former top aide The defense portrayed

Taleghani Karim Sanjabi leader of the National Front and Mehdi Bazargan who hopes to be the 1 first premier in a new Islamic government NO GOVERNMENT representative came to the airport A chorus sang a song of praise A boy recited a verse from the Koran And then the ayatollah his resonant voice echoing around the building delivered a short speech His words of condemnation for foreigners were translated in several ways by official and unofficial interpreters According to three different interpreters he said that he prayed to God cut off the of foreigners or foreign advisers in this country A fourth rendered his words differently quoting him as having said he asked help in the tentacles of colonialism" in Iran There was nothing formal nothing occidental about the triumphal procession It was gaudy excessive thoroughly oriental in its excitement The ayatollah had asked for restraint and his agents urged that chants be limited to God is great In the event people screamed themselves hoarse and trotted alongside the Moslem theologian until they were exhausted IN IIIS SPEECH at the cemetery the venerable revolutionary turned time and again to the United States The shah he said had destroyed Iranian agriculture to create markets for America He had sold oil to' the United States and bought useless weapons from Washington with' the proceeds And now the United States was plotting to bring the shah hack A 4 "As long as we are he said "we won't let them do that and I tell you it is up to all of us to keep this revolution alive until we choose a government Appealing to the armed forces the ayatollah added 4 We want you to be independent You generals you want that?
