The order issued yesterday calls for the correspondents to leave by mid- night Friday Iranian time (3:30 p.m. EST). The heads of leading news organizations in the United States sent cables to Abolghassem Sadegh, direc- tor of foreign press at the Ministry of :National Guidance, predicting the ac- tion would deprive the American people of first-hand accurate reports and would delay a resolution of the crisis. "BY EXPELLING the American press you increase the likelihood that the bias and distortion you deplore will increase" said Roone Arledge, president of ABC News. "CBS News believes that the ap- parent order . . . is contrary to widely accepted freedom of information prin- ciples to which your country sub- scribes," said William Leonard, president of CBS News. "The AP is chagrined that we must now report on this story without the fir- st-hand observations of our own staff correspondents," said Keith Fuller, president and general maniager of the Associated Press. "WE WILL ALL find ways to con- tinue to report the basic news develop- ments, but this is not a worthy sub- stitute for staff coverage. "Needless to say, we have tried to cover this difficult and emotional story with objectivity." The Iranian government said the ap- proximately 100 journalists for American news organizations, part of a 300-member international press corps, were being expelled because of what it called "biased reporting" on events in Iran. Roderick Beaton, president of United Press International, defended coverage by his Iranian staff, saying it "has been a model of accuracy and objectivity." "WE FEEL other American correspondents have done an equally accurate job," he said. "The eventual solution to the differences between the United States and Iran rests with diplomats and the leaders of the two nations, not the journalists being ex- pelled." Benjamin Bradlee, executive editor of the Washington Post, told the AP that "obviously ... the American public suffers when information is restricted. I think the public is going to suffer and the problem of releasing the hostages is tougher to solve." Hal Gulliver, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, said: "The government of Iran is an outlaw government with no one apparently in real control or authority. The expulsion of American journalists is no more irrational than any number of other comments and ac- tions in Iran over the past several weeks." Mort Pye of the Newark, N.J. Star- Ledger said, "Obviously I think what's happening in Iran depends on havinm competent reporters there.. . I think we have to take anything the Iranian of- ficials say with a grain of salt." Arledge of ABC said Iran now risks the danger of being censured by "every democratic nation that respects, indeed demands, a free flow of information."

"It was not my desire to postpone the appointments," O'Neal said, "but to realign these appointments with a mind to affirmative action." PIC CO-ORINDATOR Bob DiScipio defended his committee's decision to support the appointees, saying Barr, Neumeir, and Markovich were best qualified for the job. Nine, persn in all applied for the position, he said, in- cluding one 24-year-old black woman. "We based our decision on the ap plicant's qualifications, enthusiasm and interest (in the U Cellar)," DiScipio said. "We alsok felt that the people we've recommended were familiar with the organization and had the most experience." O'Neal countered DiScipio's remarks by pointing out that prior experience and familiarity with organizations hasa worked against women and minorities seeking jobs inthe past. MSA VICE-PRESIDENT LauriU Tyler argued in favor of the appoin- tments as did assembly treasurer Brad Canale. Tyler noted that the U Cellar board positions had been vacant since before Christmas and that the Assem- bly had already postponed a decision on the matter once before. "We all know the great history the U Cellar has had," said Canale. "In no way are they in good financial health. The board has to address critical questions in the near future and the need to have these positions filled as soon as possible." The treasurer also noted that the board's first meeting of the year is slated for next Monday. Do a Tree a Favor: Recyle Your Daily 0 U_
