Page 12-Friday, July 13, 1979-The Michigan Daily Crack appears in DC-i10 jet pylon WASHINGTON (AP) - Inspectors found a new crack yesterday in the pylon of a DC-10 jumbo jet, bringing to six the number of fractures discovered in the latest round of inspections of the troubled plane. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesperson described the crack, like the five found earlier, as "non-critical." "WE'RE STILL saying it's not a big problem," he said of the latest discoveries. FAA officials say the cracks are located in non-load-bearing parts of the pylon that attaches the engine to the wing. FAA spokesman Jerry Lavey said the crack was found on a Continental Airlines jet in Los Angeles. Similar cracks were found earlier on a United Airlines plane, two belonging to Trans International Airways and two other Continental jets. FAA ADMINISTRATOR Langhorne Bond told Congress on Wednesday he had been ready to permit a resumption in DC-10 flights earlier this week until thenew cracks were found. The FAA chief is awaiting a report on the new cracks before making up his mind, possibly late this week. The report of the new crack came as McDonnell-Douglas Corp., defending the design of the DC-10 engine pylon, said a crack found on the plane that crashed in Chicago occurred when the craft was out of service. ALL 138 do-1s in the nation's domestic airlines fleet have been grounded since June 6. The grounding order came 11 days after the crash in Chicago that claimed 273 lives in the nation's worst air disaster. Meanwhile, FAA spokesman Jerry Lavey said 94 Boeing 747s have been in- spected since the discovery Wednesday of cracks in an engine mount on a Pan Am jet in New York. Iranian firmg three Tehran TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Three prostitutes of Tehran's gutted red light district were shot by an Islamic firing squad yesterday in the first known execution of women since last February's revolution. The three, believed to be in their 40s and 50s, were convicted by an Islamic revolutionary court of prostitution, running notorious brothels in south Tehran, and selling young girls into prostitution. Executed with them was a man, Mansur Bagheri, reportedly convicted of encouraging prostitution, corrupting minors, smuggling and showing sex films, and importing illicit sex paraphernalia "through facilities provided him by international Zionism." There was no elaboration of the charges. THE PROSTITUTES were well- known in the red light district by their nicknames: "Pari the Tall One," "Ashraf the Four-Eyed," and "Soraya the Turk." Islamic law says that adulteresses shall be stoned to death, but prescribes only flogging in the case of sexual relations by unmarried persons. "Scourge the whore and the whoremonger with a hundred lashes ... You must not give way to pity in God's religion," the Koran says. Ironically, afternoon newspapers squad shoots prostitutes printed photographs of the condemned women demurely shrouded in chadurs, the tong veils recommended as feminine attire by Iran's Islamic leaders. THE FOUR Tehran executions, together with six others reported elsewhere yesterday, brought to 311 the number of Iranians who have gone before firing squads in the last five months. Most had been condemned for killing anti-Shah demonstrators during the revolution, torturing political opponen- ts of the old regime and of corruption. But Iran's strict Islamic rulers also have taken a hard line against sexual offenders. Before turning revolutionary justice against the world's oldest profession, authorities had ordered the execution of a number of men convicted of rape, sodomy, and homosexual assault. IN THE FINAL stage of the revolution, Moslem militants set fire to brothels and bars in south Tehran's red light district. At the time, religious leaders urged their followers not to harm the prostitutes living there, describing them as innocent victims of a corrupt imperial system. But now, revolutionary authorities appear to have decided to make exam- ples out of women they hold responsible for the city's vice rackets. earn 1OO0 a month for 2 or 3 hours a week of your spare time. donate plasma You may save a life!

WURF SAID his union, the largest one that represents government way onlyworkers, still might back Carter for re- w' election next year if the president follows through on liberal campaign promises made in 1976. "Our union is not afraid to lead the way," Wurf said in a luncheon speech at the National Press Club. "... We can take a new look at the Republican Party. No longer can we allow the Democrats to take us for granted - and the Republicans to write us off." Wurf said if a "responsible Republican, with a sound platform, emerges as a serious contender next year, then our union and other unions will not support a less adequate Democrat.' A SPOKESMAN for Wurf's union, Charles Brown, said that at this point the only announced Republican presidential candidate the union could even consider supporting is Rep. John Anderson of Illinois. Even the suggestion of support for a Republican presidential candidate is a sharp departure from traditional union politics.
