Y Y j . . yx The Department of Romance Languages' SUMMER STUDY PROGRAMS IN Page 2-Wednesday, March 19, 1980-The Michigan Daily Iran orders probe of FRANCE AND SPAIN alleged vot From The Associated Press Iran's Revolutionary Council ordered an investigation yesterday of allegations of widespread fraud in national parliamentary elections, most of it attributed to the Islamic party that is leading in the contest. If it dominates the new Parliament, the clergy-led Islamic Republican Party might obstruct President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr's efforts to have the U.S. Embassy hostages freed quickly. It was unclear whether the fraud inquiry would further delay the convening of the Parliament. ALSO YESTERDAY, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini declared an amnesty for several thousand political prisoners and chastised the most zealous of his revolutionary followers for indiscriminate arrests of "counter- revolutionaries.' In other developments, the government was reported to have pledged not to execute the deposed shah if he is extradited, and the United States resumed its case against Iran in the World Court. ing fraud Also, the Iranians suspended natural gas exports to the Soviet Union, complaining the Russians insisted on a price that was about half the world market level. The Soviets announced Monday they were temporarily ending negotiations with Iran because of "exaggerated" Iranian demands. ON THE EVE of the Iranian new year and the 136th day of captivity for 50 American hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, saying Iran has declared war on the United States by holding .American hostages, is urging the Carter administration to begin preparing for a possible naval blockade and mining of Iranian harbors. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), charging that President Carter has bungled the crisis, also urged that all Iranian diplomats in the United States be detained until the 50 hostages are freed. 9a Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports U.S. blocks computer Prime lending rate hits record 19 per cent - ADVENTURE I ISN'T DEADo.

Consumer spending also slowed sharply during the month, an indication that consumers may be reaching the limit of their purchasing power in the face of high inflation and a sluggish economic growth. On Wall Street yesterday, the Dow Jones average of 30 industrials gained 12.97 points to 801.62, rebounding from a 23.04-point loss Monday. The stock market's gains were concentrated in blue-chip issues, while others lost ground on fears the chances of a recession are increasing. The dollar's value was mixed on foreign-exchange markets. On bullion exchanges, the price of gold was un- changed in Zurich at 1489 an oiunce, up $3 in London at $480.50 and ahead $17.50 on the Commodity Exchange Inc. in New York at $486.50.

Exceptions to the embargoed wares would be parts for health equipment and such "humanitarian" goods. This means that a substantial number of the 700 export licenses hung up during policy review may not be approved for the shipment of high- technology goods to the Soviet Union. In other action, former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford said yesterday that the United States would consider a Soviet thrust toward the Persian Gulf "an act of war" opening the way for unlimited U.S. response. Taiwan dissident trial starts The trial of Taiwanese dissident leader Huang Hsinchieh, accused of masterminding a plot to overthrow the Nationalist Chinese government last December 10, has begun. In what is being called the most important political trial in years in Taiwan, Huang and six staff members of the now-suspended Formosa Magazine, of which he was the publisher, are accused of sedition and of inciting a riot in the southern city of Kaohsiung. Huang told a five-judge court that he signed a confession after 56 hours of non-stop interrogation and that he wanted to die. Human rights groups have expressed concern about the future of democracy in Taiwan and about the country's human rights policy. Kansas City firefighters 1 strike, sabotage stations KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Missouri National Guardsmen were placed on alert yesterday to return to Kansas City to protect fire stations from sabotage by firemen striking for a second day. City policemen had been switched to fire duty. The walkout occurred Monday night to protest the city's decision not to rehire 42 firemen dismissed after a 12-day "sickout" in December. Police Chief Norman Caron said 18 pieces of fire-fighting equipment were sabotaged before the walkout. Only a few of the city's union firemen reported for work, and others manned picket lines at various stationhouses. Furniture-buying freeze doesn't stop government WASHINGTON-The government has spent $36 million on new furni- ture in the past four months despite a freeze on purchases intended to force federal agencies to use furniture stored in Washington-area warehouses, according to Senator Lawton Chiles (D-Fla.). Chiles said if purchases continued, he would sumbit legislation to delete $229 million earmarked for furniture purchases in the current federal budget. Also, Chiles complained that General Services Administration continues to do business with a New Jersy paint supply company convicted last year of bribing GSA officials. Court says heavy penalty OK for $230 in crimes WASHINGTON-A 5-4 Supreme Court ruling yesterday held that a man's life sentence for committing three frauds totalling $229.11 is not "cruel and unusual punishment" forbidden by the Constitution. William James Rummel was sentenced by a Texas law requiring life in prison upon a third felony conviction for habitual offenders. Rummel was imprisoned in 1973 and becomes eligible for parole in 1984. Historic swallows due today SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Cal.-The swallows that traditionally fly to this town every March 19 have diverted their landing site from the town's adobe mission to a nine-year old community hospital in Mission Viejo, six miles to thebnorth. Noise and tourists are believed to have driven the birds to the suburb. However, hospital officials complain that swallows nesting under the eaves make such a mess with their droppings that people have refused to go outdoors. They have tried blocking off the eaves. Meanwhile, tourists continue to gather at San Juan each year to see the few strays that show up. Indecency statute upheld LANSING-The Michigan Court of Appeals yesterday ruled that the state's "gross indecency" statute is constitutional and that it can apply to both public and private acts. The case dealt with a man accused of offering to perform indecent sex acts with three Grand Rapids police officers for $25. To charges that the statute was vague, the 2-1 majority said that the defendant's actions were clearly illegal in keeping with the previous decisions of the court. I m 1: I.
