U.N. commission hears Iranian
grievances against the ex-shah

From the Associated Press
The U.N. investigative commission
on Iran continued its work in Tehran
yesterday, hearing from scores of
Iranians, many of them without arms
or legs, who said they had been tortured
by the secret police under the shah.
Despite continued assurances from
U.N. officials, however, the prospect
that the inquiry will lead to the early

release of the approximately 50 U.S.
embassy hostages remained uncertain.
REVOLUTIONARY leader Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini has indicated that
the Americans, now midway through
their 16th week of captivity, will be
freed no earlier than April.
In Washington, State Department
officials acknowledged privately that
the release of the hostages "could take
a lot longer than any of us would like."
Iran's U.S.-educated navy chief has
been arrested for allegedly having links
with agents at the American Embassy
before that "spy nest" was seized by
Moslem militants, the Iranian
government reported.
IT HAD BEEN reported Monday that
naval chief Adm. Mahmoud Alavi was
arrested by the revolutionary
prosecutor for the military. But the
charges against him were not disclosed
then.
Yesterday the government
newspaper Islamic Republic, citing
unnamed- reliable sources, said Alavi
had been arrested for his "closelinks
and friendly relations with the U.S.
spies held in the U.S. Embassy."
The five-member U.N. panel was

established to hear Iranian grievances
against the ex-shah's regime and
against alleged U.S. interference in
Iranian affairs, as well as American
grievances over the hostage-holding.
COMMISSION spokesman Samir
Sambar said the panel members spent
almost six hours yesterday with about
140 Iranians identified as some of the
victims of massive human rights
violations under the shah.
"The commission took careful note of
the particulars of every case and
observed the marks of mutilation,"
Sambar said. "This was an occasion for
the commission to examine in
dramatically live terms the plight of
those involved."
Later, during its third full day of
work in Tehran, the panel met with
Iran's attorney general to discuss
documents concerning human rights
violations, and with the governor of the
central bank to go over financial
transactions that the revolutionary
government , contends show the
corruption of the shah's regime. The
Iranians want the ex-shah and his
"stolen wealth" returned to Iran.

High court rules workers
can duck dangerous jobs
WASHINGTON-Workers can refuse to perform jobs they believe
hazardous without retaliation from employers, the Supreme Court ruled
yesterday. A unanimous court upheld Labor Department regulations which
bar employers from discriminating against workers who won't perform a
task they consider too dangerous.
The regulations were challenged by Whirlpool Corp, after two workers
refused to perform a job at the company's Marion, Ohio, plant, 12 days after
a co-worker feel to his death from a safety net. The workers were docked six
hours of pay and given written reprimands.
The court said the regulations are in line with intentions of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970. Under OSHA, an
employer must furnish a safe workplace to each employee.
Storm kills six in Indiana
At least six persons were killed in Indiana as a blinding snowstorm
moved across the midwest and into the Virginias yesterday. The storm left
nearly a foot of snow, stranding hundreds of motorists and schoolchildren.
Meanwhile, the sun shined in California and Arizona as residents of
those two states dug out of the mud and muck of last week's deluge, which
left 36 people dead and a half-billion dollars in damage.
Tests indicate high levels of
radioactive water in Georgia
ALAMO, Ga.-Routine tests of city-owned water systems in two
Georgia towns have indicated the presence of five to 33 times the acceptable
levels of radioactivity. Local officials in Alamo and Mount Vernon moved
quickly to plan a new well after reports of the polluted water.
State testing of many private wells in the area also indicated similar
problems, but citizens have not expressed any alarm, according to Alamo
Mayor Emory Peacock. He said the 300-foot depth of his town's well appears
to be the problem.
According to the state, the source of radioactivity is naturally occuring
radium which has built up in rock strata.
Flood placed on probation
WASHINGTON-Former U.S. Rep. Daniel Flood was sentenced to a
year's probation yesterday after pleading guilty to conspiracy. Under a
plea-bargaining arrangement, the government dropped other, more serious,
charges of bribery and perjury.
Although doctors agree that Flood, 76, suffers from organic brain
deterioration, U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch ruled last month that Flood
was competent to stand trial.
Before Gasch sentenced Flood yesterday, Flood's defense attorney
argued for leniency on the basis of his age and health.
NAACP kicks, Of drive
to register young voters
DETROIT-The NAACP kicked off a natinwide drive to register
younger voters at two city high schools yesterday. The drive aims to register
2 million 18-year-old voters of all races, a group spokesperson said.
The civil rights group plans to register up to 5 million new black voters
before the November elections.
Yesterday's sign-up in Detroit was made possible by a law passed in
Michigan last August allowing high school principals or their designees to
act as deputy voter registrars. Only Michigan and Georgia currently have
such laws on the books.
Black organizations call
adoption agencies 'racist'
GRAND RAPIDS-Black organizations here charged yesterday that
adoption agencies were racist in placing black children in white homes.
Terry Weekly, NAACP spokesperson who also spoke for ten other Grand
Rapids' black organizations, said black children belong "physically,
psychologically ad culturally" in black homes.
The NAACP said it investigated adoption practices of three Grand
Rapids agencies after receiving complaints. It said it found blacks placed in
white homes even when black placements were available.
The adoption agencies had no immediate comment.
