Bunyan Bryant, associate professor of natural resources, Shiuh-Wuu Lee, a Taiwanese graduate engineering student, and Ying Hsiig, a University Law School employee, were chosen by the Ann Arbor chapter of the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association to attend the private dinner in honor of Teng last Tuesday. THE FRIENDSHIP Association and the National Association of Chinese Americans co-sponsored the event at the Washington Hilton Hotel. It was strictly a social affair. The singing and grinning Osmorid family, including Donny and Marie, entertained the vice premier and his guests, but Teng received the war- mest reception, TENG SPOKE through an inter- preter about the newfound frien- dship between the U.S. and China. He also expressed China's desire for open communication between the mainland and Taiwan. However, Teng refrained from any mention of the Soviet Union. "He had a lot of charisma," Bryant said, noting that the recep- tion was unmarred by any protest.

Vice e ce p re- pier tfours Houston From Reuter and AP HOUSTON - Like a kid in a playground, China's Teng Hsiao- ping took the controls of a space shuttle trainer yesterday, sat in a lunar go-cart and said it was all in- teresting, although "I'm a total novice on these matters." For the 74-year-old Teng, this fifth day of his get-acquainted tour of American was the day he appeared to have fun. ' HE DEVOTED three hours to a tour of the Johnson Space Center, got an explanation of the wonders it offers from two of the most famous names in the space business - John Glenn, the first American to orbit earth, and Christopher Kraft, who was flight director in the United States' fledgling space efforts. But back in Washington, which he left Thursday morning after a three- day stay that included talks with President Carter, the focus remained on the political fallout from the Chinese leader's outspoken criticisms of the Soviet Union. The central point of debate was whether Teng's attacks have affec- ted U.S.-Soviet relations. BOTH SIDES said there was not really any damage, although the Soviets have accused Teng of slan- See CHINESE, Page 7 From AP and Reuter TEHRAN - Armed conflict could erupt in Iran unless Prime Minister Shapour Bakhtiar and Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini reach agreement on a political solution within two or three days, highly-placed government sources said yesterday. The sources said ministers of the em- battled civilian government feared the possibility of civil war if no agreement were reached with the 78-year-old leader, greeted by millions of followers Thursday on his return from 15 years in exile. The ayatullah wants to establish an Islamic republic in Iran to replace the shah, who left the country 17 days ago for an extended political vacation, after appointing Bakhtiar prime minister. "IF THERE IS no political solution in two or three days, there will be ... Well, I dread to think" a senior associate of Bakhtiar told Reuters. Some ministers were prepared to resign in favor of Khomeini nominees if their sacrifice would save Iran from a bloodbath, the sources said. Khomeini wants to abolish the monarchy and replace Bakhtiar's government with a religiously oriented Islamic republic under his own guidan- ce. He said Thursday the government is illegal "and if they continue they must be put on trial." BAKHTIAR, who has repeatedly rejected Khomeini's demands that he resign, told state radio yesterday he would like to meet with Khomeini to "find a political solution to the present problems of the country." An associate of Khomeini, asked to comment on Bakhtiar's proposal, said Khomeini's position remains "that as long as Bakhtiar does not resign there will be no meeting." The aide, who asked not to be iden- tified, also said Khomeini's followers would not participate in Bakhtiar's government "because in our view it is an illegal one" since it was appointed by the departed shah. IN AN INTERVIEW with Radio Mon- te Carlo, Bakhtiar said that if Khomeini announces formation of a rival gover- nment, "I will ignore it as much as possible. There are times when one has to know how to say no." Much of the top military leadership is believed to remain loyal to the shah and rumors continue here of a possible military coup to keep Khomeini out of power. But Khomeini's camp contends that many in the military support his movement. A source close to Bakhtiar said the prime minister was continuing to do all he can to promote an understanding between the two camps and defuse the crisis. ABOUT 10,000 excited supporters besieged Khomeini's headquarters on his first full day in Iran in more than 14 years to get a glimpse of him. The 78-year-old Moslem religious leader - architect of Iran's anti-shah movement - went to a ground-floor window of the building, a school, and waved to the crowds as they streamed past chanting, "Hail Khomeini," and "Death to Bakhtiar!" Some also shouted "Death to Car- ter!" because of Washington's support of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Bakhtiar. KHOMEINI followers also staged peaceful demonstrations against the government in the cities of Ahwaz, Sanandaj and Isfahan. But the state radio said anti-gover- nment demonstrators hurled fire bom- bs into the police headquarters com- pound in the city of Semman, 110 miles east of Tehran, and that two persons were killed in the ensuing battle bet- ween protesters and police. In Tehran, officials said a 28-year-old former boxer, Faraidum Zand, was slain by five men near his home. A note left on his body claimed the killing was the work of a new underground group called the People's Warrior Touheed Guerrillas. In a warning to the legions of Khomeini backers who have taken to the streets, Bakhtiar said that if protesters again begin fire-bombing banks and other buildings, "it will be answered with bullets." CETA rules affect 'U' students. By WILLIAM THOMPSON Prospects for finding those elusive summer jobs in the public sector may have brightened for some University students while they may have diminished for graduating students seeking permanent employment. Thursday, the Labor Department placed new restrictions on the Com- prehensive Training Act (CETA} which sharply limits the length of time a worker may hold a CETA job. CETA will now placedemphasis in finding permanent jobs for the regularly unemployed in the private sector, thus increasing the number of temporary CETA jobs. "THE NEW restrictions could be ad- vantageous to college students," said Verna Barden, CETA operations supervisor in Ann Arbor. "They are geared more toward college people to give them some experience under their belts." The new restrictions limit a person in holding a CETA job for 18 months before they enter the private sector. Previously, many CETA public training jobs had become permanent jobs. However, the new controls will ham- per the Washtenaw County CETA 'Ann Arbor will have less of a problem (with the changes) than anybody. The new regu- lations will be an advantage for the disadvantaged people of Ann Arbor.' - Verna Barden, CETA program, which places college graduates in public jobs. Because of budget belt tightening, CETA will not be able to supplement lower public work salaries to bring them in line with those of the private sector. "BEFORE WE were able to create jobs that met the demands of their skills," said Doris Langford of the Washtenaw County CETA office. "Un- der the new regulations, the sup- plementation is limited and there will be a maximum salary limit." The cutbacks on public service jobs is not expected to have much effect in Ann Arbor for at- least another two years. The city's CETA chapter has additional funds to displace its budget cuts for 1980. "Ann Arbor will have less of a problem (with the changes) than anybody," Barden said. "The new regulations will be an advantage for the disadvantaged people of Ann Arbor." ALTHOUGH STUDENTS won't be hurt by the change, those looking for skilled job experience may, Barden said. "The only way in which it might hurt," she said, "is that people may not be able to get bona-fide skills. Cities can no longer use CETA jobs to fill public jobs." Most of the changes in the CETA program were initiated by the Labor Department last year after wide- spread reports of fraud, abuse and in- competent management of CETA programs around the country. The department also adopted stiffer penalties for those who abuse the program. 450,000 NEW JOBS CRFEATED: Unemployment rate falls, recession unlikely Nation's leaders pay respects to Rocky Froml aNand Neuter WASHINGTON - An encouraging report on unem- ployment yesterday appeared to reinforce the gover,- nment's view that a widely predicted recession this year is unlikely. The nation's unemployment rate crept down from 5.9 per cent to 5.8 per cent in January, a sign that an economic slowdown forecast for 1979 has not yet sur- faced, the government reported. The Labor Department said employment during the last month increased by a robust 450,000 as the jobless rate fluttered between 5.8 per cent and six per cent for a sixth consecutive month. THE CARTER administration has predicted that the unemployment rate will rise to 6.2 per cent by next fall FSaturday " Punk rock star Sid Vicious died of an accidental drug over- F or dose yesterday at a party celebrating his release on bail in as the government attempts to restrain economic growth as part of its battle against inflation. Many private economists in gloomier forecasts, are predicting a recession will set in this year and that unemployment will rise above the modest increase ex- pected by the administration. Janet Norwood, acting commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, said the January employment figures show "absolutely" no signs of recession. "The data clearly shows an economy continuing to perform at high rates of employment," she .told the congressional Joint Economic Committee. JANUARY'S job gain boosted total employment from 96.3 million while the number of unemployed fell from six million in December to 5.9 million. Some of President Carter's economic advisers con- tend that a large increase in employment and a parallel decline in the jobless rate from nearly eigh per cent two years ago helped fuel inflation by pushin wage rates up faster than could be justified by worker productivity. As a result, these advisers are advocating action t slow the rate at which new jobs are created in a man~ ner that would reduce upward pressure on wages and prices. HOWEVER, Carter's chief domestic policy adviser Stuart Eizenstat, said Thursday that the ad- ministration will not abandon its fight against unem- ployment for the cause of controlling inflation. "There is no inconsistency between fighting unem- ployment and fighting inflation," he said. From AP and Reuter NEW YORK-Nelson Rockefeller, the former vice president whose life long aspiration for the presidency fell short three times, was mourned by presidents and family alike at memorial services yesterday. "That Nelson Rockefeller is dead is both shattering and nearly incon- ceivable," said former Secretary of served for two years as vice president; Vice President Walter Mondale and Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger.
