The Michigan Daily-Saturday, November 11, 1978-Page S Anti-sha By AP and UPI TEHRAN, Iran-The main political pposition vowed yesterday to press the igh' against Shah Mohammad Reza &lavi's government and said the key We4on would be labor strikes, not volence in the streets. K1rim Sanjaby, head of the National Lrout opposition coalition, returned to e7hran from Paris yesterday. He ruled >itzmaking a deal with the shah and his rnilitary government to end Iran's >olitical crisis. iWE'RE NOT prepared to form a prvisional government and we're not gelg to participate in any coalition un- ih forces threaten strikes til our demands are met," Sanjaby told reporters. The National Front demands an end to martial law, release of all political prisoners and a national referendum to decide whether to weaken or abolish the Pahlavi dynasty. A spokesman for the front, an allian- ce of -about 30 groups spanning the political spectrum, told reporters, "Our main weapon against the shah will be strikes instead of confrontation in the streets." A 10-DAY-OLD strike in Iran's oilfields and refineries by 37,000 workers demanding political reform has already crippled the petroleum in, dustry, backbone of the national economy. The strike has cut oil produciton by about two-thirds and already has deprived the national treasury of about $600 million in oil ex- port revenue. r Reliable sources said daily negoitations to end the walkout were under way at Ahwaz and Abadan in the southern oil region but strike leaders were sticking to their demands, the same as those of the political op- position. There have been strikes and slowdowns in other sectors of the economy, including government agen- cies, but authorities appear to be Reincarnation? The dead still focusing on ending the crippling oil walkout. RELIGIOUS dissidents are one of the driving forces in the anti-shah op- position. Orthodox Moslems are op- posed to his Western-style moder- nization of traditional Islamic society. There were no immediate reports of any anti-government demonstrations yesterday, second day of a three-day Moslem holiday weekend. Some relatively mild street protests were reported'to have taken place in provin- eia1 cities the day before, however. Large numbers of troops backed by armored vehicles continued to patrol key points in the capital. IN A FIERY rampage in Tehran last weekend, anti-shah protesters burned and pillaged hundreds of shops and public buildings. It brought about the fall of the civilian government, and the shah appointed a new military- dominated Cabinet. Meanwhile, the head of the military government, Chief of Staff Gen. Gholam Reza Azhari, postponed reopening Tehran University, where the riots started Monday after soliders fired on students attempting to pull down a statue of the shah. It appearred that the university would remain closed at least until Nov. 19, when elementary schools reopen. The shah was known to have considered Sanjaby as a possible premier before the riots and before Sanjaby went to France to see Khomeini, considered the spokesman of the religious opposition, who has demanded the shah's abdication. -vote in Venezuelan elections CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - enezuela's Supreme Electoral Council as a problem on its hands: how to eparate dead voters from the ones still live and eager to. participate in ecember's presidential election. Newspapers say the problem is due to 'chaotic, deficient" record-keeping, nd government officials readily admit hat in this oil-rich nation the science of tatistics is still in the developing stage. ALMOST 20,000 persons reported ead and erased from the voting egistry have shown up at the election atchdog's offices to prove they are till alive and eligible to vote, according o newspaper reports. "Persons Ruled Dead Are Reap- ,ring Alive before Electoral Coun- il," said the headline in a recent ition of El Nacional. As of Oct. 17, the number of registered voters totaled 6,178,319. That figure could drop as low as 5.8 million. with the elimination of persons no longer living, those serving prison sen- tences and active members of the ar- r=d forces, authorities said. THE "DEAD VOTERS" are causing sleepless*nights for meipbers of the election council. Since the registry had not been purged of the names of deceased voters since 1971, the council decided to do a thorough job this year. That's when the trouble began. Among the voters declared dead, ac- cording to civil records, was the current national director of parks. A close relative of one of the election council members also learned that, of- ficially, he was dead too. Of the 112,000 voters erased from the registry because they were thought ,to be dead, nearly 20,000 have shown up at the council's headquarters to prove otherwise. Most discovered their status when they spotted their names in lists published in newspapers. They are among the lucky ones and will get to vote. MANY OF THE sloppy records are found in remote, rural areas, election officials say. In these places the justice of the peace often jots down the iden- tification card number of the individual reporting a death rather than the num- ber of the dead person. So when the report reaches the central office in Caracas, the wrong name goes into the file. In this year's election, in which there are 10 candidates, the polls show the two frontrunners, Luis Pinerua Ordaz of the ruling Democratic Action Party and Luis Herrera Campins of the Social Christian Party, headed for a photo finish. A few thousand citizens denied their right to vote could make a big dif- ference in the outcome. I Venezuelans apparently aren't sym- pathizing with the electoral council's dilemma. One newspaper cartoon showed a pair of ghosts grumbling to each other about being left out of the election. "THE MOST-disagreeable thing is that they use your name to vote without even asking your opinion," complained one. Another newspaper commented that the dead appeared to be more in- terested in voting than the living, citing a survey that indicated that only 51 per cent of Venezuelans would vote if they were not required to by law. And it looks as if most of the "dead" voters, who are in fact alive and kicking, will be allowed to vote. A high official in the National Office of Im- migrationhand Identification said he expects the dead to be properly sorted out from the living by Dec. 3, election day. "The controversy seems to be dying down," he said.

OFFICIAL SA YS POLICE, FBI NOT INVOL VED: Conspiracy against King denied Wt rsZambia farmers mobilize in ptest of guterrilla violence WASHINGTON (UPI)-A former top police official of Memphis, Tenn., yesterday bitterly denounced as "ludicrous" and "slanderous" a theory that police and the FBI joined a conspiracy to assassinate Dr. Martin Luther King. The House Assassinations Committee questioned former Memphis Police and Fire Director Frank Holloman, who is also a former FBI official, about the basis of the conspiracy theory James Earl Ray's lawyer, Mark Lane, posed in a book on the assassination.. THE QUESTIONS raised by this theory include, why had a security detail been withdrawn from the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where King was assassinated? Why was a black detective removed from a nearby surveillance post? Why was no all- points bulletin issued for the suspect,. who was known to be fleeing in a white Mustang? LUSAKA, Zambia (UPI) - Angry white farmers in Zambia who say rampaging black guerrillas have beaten them and searched their homes at gunpoint met yesterday to discuss the sudden wave of anti-white violence. The move followed a meeting with 1resident Kenneth .Kaunda Thursday night in which the farmers aired their dharges that Rhodesian guerrillas have lirtually created a state within a state. "FARMERS ARE fed up with the increasing lawlessness in rural area," s id Commercial Farmers Bureau chairman George Bender. The farmers delegation told Kaunda that farmers have been beaten up at roadblocks manned by Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU) guerrillas. They said other guerrillas have searched farms at gunpoint, claiming they were looking for Rhodesian spies. Bende claimed guerrillas attacked several farmers, including himself, in the aftermath of the recent Rhodesian air raids against Nkomo's guerrillas camps inside Zambia. THE PLIGHT of the farmers was shared by whites living in Lusaka proper where angry black mobs roamed the central business district earlier this week and beat up whites caught on the streets. Bender, pointing to red welts on his neck and chest, said he was accosted and beaten up on the outskirts of the city. "The guerrillas accused me of being a Rhodesian spy and attacked me with their rifle butts." HE SAID WHEN the guerrilas searched farmhouses, they were brash and offensive and often. threw household goods. The farmers complained that Zambian police refused to intervene even after citizens had been savagely assaulted. "It makes you wonder who is running this country-the, Zam bian government or Nkomo," one farmer said. Committee members, beginning a full-scale review of the conspiracy theories surrounding King's murder, reminded Holloman he was a key figure in the conspiracy theory because he had worked closely in Washington with the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who tried to discredit King through a smear campaign. But Holloman testified Hoover never confided in him, he was never aware Hoover had "negative" feelings toward the black civil rights leader and-in his long FBI career had never heard of the undercover "COINTELPRO" anti- dissident operations that included the efforts to discredit King. IN THREE HOURS of testimony, Holloman said King's aides requested the security removal, the black officer's life had been threatened and the failure to issue a bulletin was an is preserved on 3im MOROM AVAILABLE AT: The Michigan Daily Student Publications Bldq. 420 Maynard Street AND Graduate library innocent mistake. Holloman then read a statement in which he denounced the 'theory as a slander on himself and the FBI. "It is unbelievable to me that the FBI would even entertain such an idea," Holloman said. "IT IS LUDICROUS and preposterousthat I would be a partyf01 such a thing either directly gr indirectly. Holloman bitterly denounced th "malicious and viciously slanderos& portrayal of me through a despicable character in Abbie Mann's television, film 'King,' and in the grossly libeloys treatment of me in Mark Lane's book, all based on an unproven dnd ludicrous theory and unfounded allegations. - The committee said at the outset of, its hearings yesterday that "not many, conspiracy theories can be dismissed, quickly."

SANFACON SAID even the newer housing buildings on campus are in need of energy-saving renovations because they were built at a time when initial building costs were taken into account more than anticipated operating costs. Also, the buildings were constructed before the huge in- crease in energy costs over the past five years. The Housing Division's gross energy usage for the last fiscal year was 459 Mideast peace talks stall (Continued from Page 1) three-hour meeting with the Israelis that followed his presentation of the in- structions to Secretary of State Vance. An Israeli spokesman told The Associated Press that Egypt had in- troduced "new elements" into the n*ne( tatns on linking the traty tn a billion British Thermal Units (BTUs) of energy, a decrease of 17 per cent (in- cluding adjustments for climatic variations) from the previous year. But housing utility expenditures were up roughly two and one-half per cent despite reduced energy usage due to an increase in the price of energy- producing fuels. SANFACON said continuing efforts will be made to control the heating levels in some of the older buildings which "are notoriously overheated" through various devices designed to control the flow of steam from the cen- tral plant to the buildings. Sanfacon said it might look attractive for some individual buildings to convert from the central steam heating system to individual heating systems, but such moves would be costly, making the cen- tral system more expensive to the buildings that continued to use it because of the high fixed costs for the central system. Sanfacon also said he will continue to seek staff and student cooperation for the conservation program, although all plans for such action are not yet com- pleted. "I don't believe that we can offset the rising cost of energy with only capital- type projects," said Sanfacon. "So far, it's been very difficult for us to make energy conservation more meaningful to students. It's very difficult to design a reward system for them."
