The last ear has long since departed, leaving the garage silent save for the shuffling footsteps of a single solitary figure as he ap- proaches through the night. His voice pierces the silence. "You got the stuff?" "PUT THE GREEN up front, blood," a waiting figure answers. The first stabs one hand deep into the pocket of his trenchcoat. It comes out clenched tight around a wad of dollar bills. At the same time, the second man reaches into the inside breast pocket of his full-length leather jacket and retrieves two flat tpasteboard rectangles. "Good seats. On the forty-five," he whispers gruffly.

"I've often thought to myself-that it would have been helpful to have been a criminal lawyer when I went into the White House," Richard Nixon's former counsel told the crowd of a little over 2,000. WHILE HE WAS speaking inside, a group of four protesters from Min- nie's Coop on N. State St. hung signs outside the auditorium proclaiming "Banana Cream John Dean." Dean reacted by calling the sign "sweet." During the question-answer period following the speech, an object appearing to be an orange was hurled towards Dean, missing by a wide margin. Dean merely turned to glance at it and continued answering See REGRETS, Page 7 WASHINGTON (AP) - The Shah of Iran disclosed last night that his country will seek a price freeze when the 13-na- tion OPEC cartel meets next month in Venezuela to decide whether to increase world oil prices. BECAUSE Iran wields consider- able influence within the oil cartel, the shah's announcement represent- ed a victory for President Carter's hopes for a price freeze. Carter has said that any price increase would be disruptive to world economic stability and the shah said the President's arguments over the past two days convinced him to change his policy of neutrality in the upcoming talks. -"After perusing the world econom- ic situation, we have come to this conclusion to give you a break," the shah said. ONLY LAST week, the shah had told interviewers that. Iran would re- main neutral on the oil price question at the Caracas, Venezuela, meeting. The shah said he would be willing to support a 12-month freeze on prices. The current world price of oil is about $12.50 per barrel and most other oil producing states rill seek a price increase. Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil producer and the most powerful member of the cartel, has said a modest rise is justified because of the declining value of the dollar and in- flation in western industrialized countries. IT IS believed the Saudis will seek an increase of about five per cent while other members of the cartel favor a much larger hike. Iraq, for example, is proposing a 23 per cent increase. The shah's news conference came after his final meeting with President Carter. Press Secretary Jody Powell said the two leaders reviewed human rights in Iran and other matters during that visit. Powell declined to say whether the President was satis- fied with the human rights situation in Iran. Powell said that "it is safe to assume that both leaders noted the steps Iran has taken in support of this ideal." The spokesman said that in recent months, Iran has liberalized See SH AH, Page 2 LOOT D- f Dorm dwellers fret Dean on the Watergate years: "I used to go hone at night and the only way I could go to sleep was to hit the scotch bottle.". ASSAD SKEPTICAL OF ISRAEL VISIT: SadatQ DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -President Anwar Sadat of Egypt met with Syrian President Hafez Assad yesterday, seek- ing the backing of his skeptical ally for' his proposed visit to Israel. Informed diplomatic and Syrian sources said they believed Sadat was trying to allay Assad's fears he would make private deals on the first-ever visit of an Arab leader to Israel. SADAT WAS LIKELY to tell Assad .any trip to Israel is "meant to change the Israeli mentality about Arab in- tentions, and to show the world who is serious about peace and who is not," one Arab diplomat said. Despite the drama of the prospective meeting' between the two opposing Mideast leaders and the optimism it stirred, serious obstacles remained to a settlement in the region-even to a bilateral understanding between Egypt and Israel. Key Arab demands for Israeli with- drawal from all occupied territories and creation of a Palestinian state, both repeatedly rejected by the Israelis, were reiterated by a Syrian spokesper- son after Sadat and Assad had com- pleted two rounds of talks. THE SPOKESPERSON said the two leaders agreed to "coordinate their ef- forts for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East based on complete Israeli withdrawal to pre-June 1967 borders and recognition of the legitimate rights seeks backing for trip in almost daily contact with Sadat in of a Palestinian state being created in SADAT, WHO HA recent weeks.

It was the first such message by an Arab leader to an Israeli event. The message, applauded by the delegates, contained "the hope that your deliberations will prompt you to see the living reality of the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to statehood." The emphasis on Palestinian statehood could foretell the content of Sadat's planned speech to Israel's parliament. The 120 Knesset members are not likely to give the idea much ap- plause. Israel strongly rejects the idea ASSAD, A STRONG crictic of in- dependent Arab agreements with Israel, was expected to question Sadat carefully on his intentions. Talks between the two Arab presiden- ts began in early evening after Sadat flew in from Cairo. Sadat arrived at midday amid tight security at Damascus international airport, reflecting fear of extremist ac- tion against the Egyptian president following his proposal to visit Israel and nervousness over a recent spate of bombings in the Syrian capital. 111V' VC. tJ * *.1.1aM t *61 AA%.

The Syrian press has warned against breaches in Arab solidarity but hasn't specifically attacked the Egyptian president. In Egypt, in contrast, Sadat's initiative met wide approval. A leading Egyptian commentator, Al Ahram managing editor Raed.Attar, called the trip "the most critical visit by a head of state in the 20th century or perhaps many centuries."
