IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Khomeini defends Bani-Sadr 6 move in Persian Gulf war Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Knomeini yesterday strongly defended President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr's conduct of the Persian Gulf war in the face of new criticism by hard-line Islamic factions that an Iranian offensive to drive out the Iraqi invaders had bogged down. An Associated Press correspondent, however, reported from the Iraqi side of the war front that although the Iranian offensive sparked the heaviest fighting of the war, the Iranians lost ground on at least one front. Khomeini, in a speech broadcast by Tehran Radio, admonished Iranians to stop criticizing Bani-Sadr, in what was seen as a strong show of support for the country's president. "You must remember that ordinary people do not understand the affairs of war," Khomeini said. "You must not say things which upset the leaders of the army, the president, or the government." Journalist shot in El Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-A French photographer for Newsweek magazine was shot in the chest yesterday in the Salvadoran provincial capital of San Francisco Gotera, site of heavy fighting this week between lef- tist guerrillas and government troops, witnesses said. The photographer, Olivier Rebbot, was shot in the lung and reporters with him said by telephone that he was in serious condition but was expected to X, live. He was reportedly wearing a bulletproof vest, but was wounded because he was shot in the side. Details of the incident were not immediately available. Reboot was in the San Miguel Social Security Hospital and the journalists accompanying him were trying to get a plane into the area to take him back to the capital. Family holds deputy hostage over alleged bank error CALGARY, Alberta-A couple and their three sons, claiming their house was being repossessed just because their bank made a clerical error, held a sheriff's deputy hostage for a third day yesterday at the $180,000 home. The man, identified by police as Thaddeus Drabick, in his mid-40s, said he would rather die than give up. The Drabicks released one deputy late Wednesday, after a local television station broadcast a filmed statement in which Drabick denounced Toronto Dominion Bank. He said in the televised statement that his family was being evicted because the bank made a clerical mistake and was not accepting his mor- tgage checks. Bank officials had no immediate comment on the mortgage dispute, which police said apparently began a few years ago. A neighbor said Drabick had displayed a sign in his window for the past month reading, "Bankers are robbers and their lawyers are pimps." Senate~ angels OK Haig, Bell WASHINGTON- lexander Haig as secretary of state and Terrel Bell as education secretary won approval in Senate committees yesterday, but new charges delayed a vote on Raymond Donovan to head the Labor Depar- tment. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 15-2 to recommend Senate confirmation of Haig, despite questions raised by some senators about his role in the Watergate scandal. Haig is expected to be confirmed by the full Senate on Wednesday, the day after President-elect Ronald Reagan is inaugurated. Bell received unanimous approval from the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee on his nomination. Haig's approval, however, was op- posed by two committee members, Sens. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) and Paul Tsongas (D-Mass.) Donovan's vote was postponed pending FBI Director William Webster's investigation"of'unspecified,"new developments" in Donovan's case. Strikes in Poland spread WARSAW, Poland-Strikes spread to more towns along the Soviet border yesterday, halting work in 600 factories for an hour, as transit workers in Warsaw also threatened a shutdown. New U.S. Ambassador Francis Meehan, on a nationwide tour, met in Gdansk with leaders of the independent Solidarity labor union, the church, and the Communist Party. Meanwhile, labor leader Lech Walesa, a moderate who has been able to unify the 10-million member union, has been in Italy since Tuesday, and yesterday met Pope John Paul II, who praised the union. Weather cuts off water, gas The governor of Massachusetts yesterday ordered schools closed to con- serve precious fuel, while Florida orange juice producers jacked up their prices to record levels almost before the ice on the citrus trees had melted. Across the frigid East, a cold wave that came in at Christmas had eased up a bit, but light snow sprinkled the icy sludge already on the ground in a wide area, waterways remained blocked, and some cities were running out of fuel to keep their people warm. With most residents of Massachusetts ignoring an appeal to turn down their thermostats until an emergency supply of natural gas could reach the state, Gov. Edward King ordered all gas-heated schools in the state closed today to help conserve the dwindling supplies of natural gas. Meanwhile, with reservoirs at their lowest levels in 15 years, the gover- nors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware declared a drought emergency that will turn off fountains, ban street cleaning, and limit car washing in the nation's most populous region.
