due to tense world

situation

ATLANTA (AP) - President Carter
said yesterday that the turmoil in Iran
and Southeast Asia demonstrates
dramatically the need for a new U.S.-
Soviet arms treaty, and vowed he will
not let peripheral issues stand in the
away of agreement on the pact.
In a major pitch for the nearly com-
plete Strategic Arms Limitation
Treaty, Carter again cautioned the
Russians against meddling in Iran's in-
ternal strife or taking actions that
would widen the conflict between China
and Vietnam. However, the President
stressed that he will press for
agreement on the new arms pact
.-SALT II - despite these trouble
.spots.
"IT IS IN OUR national interest to
pursue it even as we continue com-
petition with the Soviet Union
elsewhere in the world," Carter told a
friendly audience at the Georgia In-
stitute of Technology in his home state.
In. a speech billed in advance by
presidential aides as a major foreign
policy address, Carter repeatedly and

strongly rejected demands by conser-
vatives for a foreign policy that would
link progress on arms negotiations with
the Soviet Union's conduct around the
world.

bulence in Iran, Southeast Asia and
elsewhere increase rather than
diminish the need for an arms
agreement. At the same time, he said,,

intervention on behalf of their Viet-
namese allies, might have "unforeseen
and grave consequences for nations in
the region and also beyond."
The President reiterated, however,
that the United States won't intervene
in Iran or in "conflicts between Asian
communist nations" in Southeast Asia.
Carter was dressed in academic
robes as he received Georgia Tech's
first honorary doctor of engineering
degree. He said the globe "is still a
world of danger ... of change and tur-
bulence" today as it was in 1942 when
he attended the institution for a year.
THE PRESIDENT ,said agreement
has been, reached on most of' he com-
ponents of the SALT II treaty, but gave
no indication when the pact might be
signed. The Soviets puat off a treaty-
signing summit scheduled for last mon-
th after Carter extended diplomatic'
recognition to China. The arms talks
have been in limbo since then.
Confirming earlier reports, Carter
said the emerging treaty would for the


And he told the audience of some 7,000
persons that the emerging SALT II ac-
cord "will make the world safer and
more secure"
"THEREFORE, I will seek both to
conclude this new SALT agreement and
to respond to any Soviet behavior which
adversely affects 'our interests," he
said.
Carter said disturbances and tur-

in Iran "will have serious consequences
and will affect our broader relationship
with them."
The President also said the United
States is continuing to express "deep
concern" over Vietnam's incursion into
Cambodia and China's punitive in-
vasion of Vietnam.
CARTER SAID any widening of that
conflict, which could result from Soviet

TEHRAN-Four more pro-shah
generals were executed in Tehran
yesterday and the country's new
military chief said the purge of monar-
chist officers h~ad not ended.
Meanwhile,~ in an Atlanta speech,
President Carter warned the Soviet
Union that any interf~rence in Iran
"will have serious consequences and
affect our broader relations with
them."
IRAN'S FOREIGN Ministry officials
issued a statement yesterday vowing to
hound exiled Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi until he can be brought back to
Iran for trial. The Tehran newspaper
*Ettelaat reported a committee had
been formed to kidnap the exiled
monarch.
Khomeini aides brought out three
men they said were the shah's ex-
bodyguards-who told reporters they
were willing to help in the abduction.
The shah has been in Morocco since
shortly after leaving Iran Jan. 16.
THE FOUR GENERALS were
executed by firing squad at 2 a.m. on
the roof of 'Khomeini's headquarters,
five days after four other generals were
shot. Those executed yesterday were
Gen.. Parvis Amin Afshar, the former
commander of the shah's elite Imperial
Guard; Brig. ,Gen. Maunuchehr Malek,
the infantry commander in iQazvin;
Gen. Nematullah Motamadi, military
governor, of Qazvin, and Gen. Hossein
Hamadanjan, chief of the SAVAK
secret police in Kermanshah.
When asked if more executions were .
to come, a Khomeini aide said that the
shah's political .opposition has
estimated that 65,000 people were killed
in the past 25 years of his rule and they
"4were not killed by just eight men. All
the others responsible will also be
punished." At least 15 other persons are
believed to be under death sentences.

BANGKOK-Both China and Vietnam said yesterday their
forces were still battling one another four days after Peking laun-
ched its big attack on Vietnamese territory 'near their common
border.
The Vietnamese said Chinese troops had occupied many
districts in the frontier areas of northern Vietnam but that 1,50
Chinese had been killed Monday alone.
CHINA SAID ITS men were "continuing to hit back at Viet-
namese aggressor troops" and it denied that its forces were with-
drawing to the frontier. It gave no casualty figures.

The controversy over the proposed
restructuring of the University Cellar
B~ookstore continued this week as Cellar
workers conducted a "sick-in" on Mon-
day and met with members of the
Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) last
night to discuss the planned changes.
Last Friday the store management
posted a notice outlining a new super-
visory structure ibi the store that has
been approved by the Cellar's Board of
Directors. Under the new plan, two
assistant managers would be added to
the present system of one store
manager and one assistant, and super-
visors would be appointed to run each
department in the stor'e.
TO PROTEST the proposed struc-
ture, 31 of the employees called in sick
Monday, stricken with "Cellar flu."
Tudor Bradley, the store manager, said
that about 30 employees showed up,, but.

according to Fred Chase, an employee
in book buy-back, few of the depar-
tments were filled with. regular em-
ployees.
"There was no one at the warehouse,
and there wer~e no regularly scheduled
employees in the stock, trade, cashier,
and desk departments of the store," he
said.'
Last night about ten employees ad-
dressed MSA to seek their support in
the issue. Spoke~woman Deborah Filler
told the assembly that the "issue was
crucial to all employees at the Cellar,"
and it was "very important the board
votes to delay implementation of the
structure until the contract could be
negotiated."
AFTER EXTENSIVE discussion
with board president Larry Pulkownik
and several of the employees, MSA
member Jim Sullivan read a resolution

" The House Foreign Affairs
Committee drafted a proposal

management. MSA passed this
resolution.
The workers claim these new super-'
visory positions will take away their in-
put into the decision-making at the
store,. Currently each department is run
on a collective basis, with all the depar-
tment employees involved in the
decisions made.
This ability to affect the day-to-day
operations of the store, as well as the
long-range planning, has made the
Cellar a unique place to work, accor-
ding to the employees. The new plan
would "make the store just like
Kresge's or any other retail place,"
said one worker.

Although the Literary College's
(LSA) Curriculum Committee has been
discussing the status of experiential
learning courses for several months,
only yesterday did the group formally

credit for some of these courses com-

decided.

THE COMMITTEE also passed a
motion by Associate Prof. Sharon Her-.

This category would restrict students
to using Project Outreach courses to
