Iw ~ Page 2-Wednesday, March 21, 1979-The Michigan Daily GOP'lawyer heasCr WASHINGTON (AP) - Paul Curran, a Republican New York lawyer who was a federal prosecutor during the Nixon and Ford administrations, was named yesterday to head a special in- vestigation into bank loans involving President Carter's family peanut business. Attorney General Griffin Bell appoin- ted Curran, 46, as a special counsel to continue an investigation that was begun by the Justice Department. ACTING UNDER mounting pressure, particularly from Republican members of Congress, Bell said that "because of the unique combination of circumstances in this matter, it is in the best interest of the administration of justice and the public's perception of the fairness and impartiality of justice than an independent special counsel be appointed." Curran's powers will stop short of those of a special prosecutor like the ones appointed during the Nixon ad- ministration to investigate the Watergate scandal. Decisions in the Carter business inquiry on such mat- ters as whether to seek an indictment or to grant immunity to a witness ultimately will remain with Assistant Attorney General Philip Heymann, who1 heads the Justice Department's criminal division. BUT CURRAN told a news conferen- ce he was "satisfied I have all the powers" to conduct a thorough and im- partial investigation. "I'm going to call the shots as I see them as best I can and I'm going to finish it (investigation) as quickly as i' can," he said. The investigation of the Carter family warehouse began late last year. A special report issued by two directors of the National Bank of Georgia concluded in January that the bank did a poor job in handling $5.8 million in commodity loans in 1975 and 1976 to the Carter warehouse. The family business also borrowed about $1 million to finance other improvements. While there has been no official public accusations of wrongdoing against the President, his brother Billy or any other member of the Carter family, there have been numerous reports questioning the legality of some banking practices and whether loans were diverted to the President's elec- tion campaign in 1976. ROBERT GUYTON, president of the National Bank of Georgia, said the "loan in question to the Carter warehouse was paid in full over one year ago." Guyton added that "we will cooperate fully with any governmental agency that has the authority and wishes to look at this particular loan situation." The President had legal authority over the peanut business until July 1976 when he authorized Billy Carter to act on his behalf. The President's 63 per cent interest in the business was put in a blind trust managed by Charles H. Kirbo, an Atlanta lawyer and Carter confidant. The questionable loan practices con- cern alleged double use of collateral and failure to repay loans on time. CURRAN WAS U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York from 1973 until Oct. 31, 1975. He is a member of the Park Avenue law firm of Kaye,' Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler. His job will be to investigate the han- dling of $6.5 million in loans made to the Carter family's peanut warehouse in Plains, Ga., by the National Bank of Georgia in 1975 and 1976 when Bert Lance was bank president. Lance, former director of the Office of Management and Budget and a close personal friend of the President, has been under investigation by a federal grand jury in Atlanta for more than 16 months. The Justice Department is reported to be ready to seek Lance's in- dictment in connection with his banking practices. BELL SAID the warehouse case was unique in part because it may touch on the conduct of the President. "It is important to the American public's confidence in the ad- ministration of justice that they be. assured that the ultimate resolution of the investigation. . . was reached fairly and impartially and without even the possibility of deference to high of- fice," Bell said. YESTERDAY, a real estate agent said Billy turned a profit about $1,375 per acre March 1, when he sold 157 un- developed acres adjacent to President Carter's Plains, Ga. home to the President's trust. Gainesville, Ga., agent Don Carter, no relation to the President's family, said he negotiated the deal with Atlanta attorney Charles Kirbo, administrator of the blind trust which holds Jimmy Carter's property while he is in office. Records at the Sumter County cour- thouse show the 157-acre tract was sold to the trust for $314,000, or $2,000 per acre. Don Carter said the tract was part of 171 acres Billy Carter purchased in 1975 for about $625 per acre "when Jimmy Carter was a 100-1 chance to be the President." "This was before the New Hampshire primary," the agent said. "Billy Carter was willing to gamble on it. He was thinking it would be a good investment, which it turned out to be." THE AGENT said Billy Carter also considered the land as a possible home site for himself when he made the pur- chase, but abandoned that idea with the impact of publicity that accompanied his brother's election as President. About six months ago, the agent said, Billy Carter instructed him to find a buyer for 157 of the 171 acres. Don Carter speculated that Kirbo was interested in the tract both as invest- ment for the President and to provide a buffer against development close to the President's home. He said Billy Carter retained owner ship of the remaining 14 acres, which includes the softball diamond where President Carter's entourage often plays softball.

State radio announced that the Kurds around the barracks agreed to pull back from their positions, and rebel sources said a civilian delegation went to the surrounded barracks in an effort to persuade the trapped soldiers to surrender. THE GOVERNMENT said 86 persons have been killed and 200 wounded since fighting erupted Sunday. The Kurds are battling to win their centuries-old dream of autonomy. One resident told a reporter yesterday: "We are Iranians and we love our country. But we want to govern ourselves." Kurdish fighters manned roadblocks throughout Sanandaj and were still in' control of most of the Kurdistan provin- cial capital as night fell yesterday and the cease-fire went into effect. THROUGHOUT the day military helicopters made low sweeps over the city and fired on residents. Hospitals were jammed with injured and doctors working round-the-clock appealed for medical supplies. Deputy Prime Minister Abbas Amir Entezam vowed to crush the insurgents and announced the government was dispatching troop reinforcements to the city along with peace envoys, some of them direct representatives of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. No troop movements were seen by reporters driving to Sanandaj, 300 a miles west of Tehran, but ten helicop- ters landed at the local airport, ap- parently loaded with soldiers. SOME REPORTS said the fighting erupted Sunday when the Kurds were denied ammunition by barracks' of- ficials. Many were killed by machine- gun and rocket fire from helicopters. T h:ere was a brief cease-fire Monday night but it was shattered early yester- day by rebels who opened fire on helicopters dropping food supplies to, soldiers in the barracks in the west of the city. Both Marxist Fedayeen and Islamic Mojahedeen guerrillas, who played key roles in the fighting that toppled Shah Mohammad Reza 'Pahlavi, appealed for the government to work out a peaceful solution to the rebellion. The Fedayeen also announced its members will boycott the March 30 referendum in which Iranians will be asked either to accept or reject an Islamic republic. The choice is too narrow and precludes other forms of rule, they complain. ENTEZAM SAID any rights to self- rule for Iran's four million Kurds agreed to by the government will be written into Iran's new constitution, to be made public shortly after the refer- endum. He said the matter is under study. In other developments yesterday: * Some 200 Afghani students demon- strated in front of the Afghanistan con- sulate in Tehran demanding the ouster of the pro-Soviet Afghan government and the expulsion of all Soviet advisers. " State radio announced that seven, former officials of the shah's- regime were arrested on unspecified charges. * Iran's Ministry of Labor announced that foreign employees in non-essential jobs will be dismissed in two stages un- der new regulations that will come into effect in a month. Yesterday's fighting was on the Per- sian New Year's Eve. With Iranians preparing for a five-day holiday, several rallies were also held around the country to mark the 28th anniver- sary of the nationalization of the oil in- dustry. t. _ - WASHINGTON (AP) - The Carter administration proposed yesterday that colleges get out of the business of collecting student loans and dispense a streamlined package of federal aid op- tions for students. HEW Secretary Joseph Califano Jr., in testimony before a congressional panel, described the ideas as preliminary ones which would be shaped into more specific 'proposals later. CALIFANO appeared before a House Education and Labor subcommittee opening hearings on re-authorizing all the government's higher education aid programs. Some panel members ex- pressed disappointment over the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's (HEW) failure to supply a concrete plan. The government is expected to provide $7.4 billion in student aid this year. An estimated $4.9 billion will be in direct aid and is expected to generate an additional $2.5 billion in loans and Calijano proposes new Iacka a for student loans" Two more reasons to get your Texas Instruments calculator at Ulrich's. matching money from other public and private sources. "THE CURRENT student loan programs are beset by problems,"' Califano told the subcommittee. "Loans vary widely in availability to students. The forms and procedures for obtaining loans are overly complex. The programs have well-known cpllec- tion and repayment problems. "And because of their complexity, their reliance on administrative mid- dlemen and their generous incentive to the private sector - the programs are increasingly costly to the government.'" Califano said, however, the gover- nment should not stray too far from'the present structure of federal student aid:, HE OUTLINED a plan that would simplify the institutional lending struc$ ture, which now includes banks, loan guarantee agencies and a special government-established association to make student loans attractive to private lenders. The plan also urges consolidation of the five student loan programs. In a related development, thie private Carnegie Council suggested all students who seek federal or state aid for their education should be expected to work part-time or during the summer. THE COUNCIL said Congressshould use the review of student loan programs to make them "more equitable in their impact and more sound in their administration" without raising their cost.
