The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 18, 1980-Page 7 0 ENDS .S. offers Iran grievance panel Acadeywawinner "BEST BOY" From The Associated Press In a new initiative aimed at freeing the 52 American hostages, the United States has proposed a commission to examine Iranian grievances about past U.S. actions in Iran. Iran's frontier war with Iraq inten- sified yesterday and President Saddam Hussein of Iraq announced he was abrogating a 1975 border accord with Iran because of "continuing violation of the agreement by the Iranian rulers." MEANWHILE, MILITANT Iranian Moslems have executed leaders of the Bahai religion, intimidated Iranian Jews, and jailed Christian missionaries in what some international religious observers describe as a crusade to "purify" the country of non-Islamic in- fluences. U.S.' officials confirmed yesterday a disclosure by Iranian President Aboihassan Bani-Sadr that a new American proposal had been received for an inquiry commission to be set up if it was linked to the release of the hostages, now in their 319th day of cap- tivity. - xistence of the message, revealed Study inks Rel y, other tacmpons to 4~ 4 toxic shock 'ATLANTA (UPI)-Strong evidence king tampons and particularly the *y brand to toxic shock syndrome, a pewly recognized and sometimes fatal disease of young women, was announ- ced yesterday by federal health of- ficials. At the same time, Dr. Kathryn Shan- eIl of the national Center for Disease O@Control said the role of one bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, had been firmly established as the cause of the disease, w ith the use of tampons a contributing factor.. "Women can almost entirely eliminate the risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome) by not using tampons, but that's a decision for the individual woman to make," said Dr. Shands, of the CDC's special pathogens branch. It has been estimated that 50 million ;American women use tampons each year. In statements issued by the CDC in Atlanta and the Food and Drug Ad- inistratifn in Wasbington, health of- !eihis saId the' lixk between tam- pons-specifically the Rely brand made by Proctor and Gamble-and TSS had been found in a study of women who contracted the ailment during July and August. Hit-and-run reported A high-speed automobile chase Tuesday night started with a hit- and-run accident in sight of a police car, continued at speeds exceeding 80 mph, and ended only after the driver lost control of his car, went over a curb, and hit several other cars, police reported. The suspect was finally cornered in a restaurant parking lot and arrested, police say. The 18-year-old suspect, whom police believe might have ben drinking, hit the first car at the in- tersection of Revena Boulevard and W. Huron Street. He then fled from the scene with police in pursuit and was apprehended at Knapp's restaurant at South Maple and Jac - kson, police said. by Bani-Sadr in an interview with the French news agency Agence France- Presse, indicated an 'increase in diplomtic exchanges on the hostage crisis. BANI-SADR SAID that in his view in- vestigation by a commission that would air Iranian grievances would meet Iran's demand for an investigation of "'past crimes of the United States in Iran," AFP reported. The message was handed to the Iranian government by the Swiss Em- bassy in Tehran, which handles U.S. in- terests in Iran. In Washington, officials stressed the United States had said for some time it would not object to Iran's grievances being put on record in an "appropriate forum" if the inquiry was linked to the release of the hostages. Bani-Sadr's statements followed the Iranian Parliament's delay of a full- scale debate on the hostage issue. The Parliament decided Tuesday to set up a special committee to deal with the hostage problem. BANI-SADR WAS quoted by AFP as saying he thought it would be "easier" to settle the confrontation now that revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has set conditions for the release of the captive Americans. Khomeini listed the conditions as return of the Pahlavi wealth, freeing Iranian assets frozen by the United States, withdrawing financial claims against Iran, and pledging not to inter- fere in Iran's internal affairs. The idea of an inquiry commission has been raised frequently during the long standoff over the hostages, usually by the Iranians who claim the United States was partly to blame for repression and economic exploitation in Iran during the regime of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. TEACHER STRIKE ENDS: Board, (Continued from Page 1) layoff procedures and assignment of homerooms to intermediate school teachers-were dropped by the school board during the course of negotiations, and do not appear in the tentative agreement., The association's general member- ship met at 8 a.m. yesterday at Pioneer High School, Taylor said, and voted overwhelmingly to return to work after the association's negotiating team presented the tentative agreement and recommended its approval. THE OUTSTANDING unresolved issue in the strike, the association's demand that teachers be able to make up two paid days-a sum of ap- proximately $250,000 for the entire district-was approved by the board, Barhydt said. Under the tentative agreement, the board agreed that teachers be allowed to make up the two days, but mandated that one of the days be made up by parent-teacher conferences, to be scheduled during evenings and on eachers reach agreement weekends. Teachers will have the op- tion of scheduling parent-teacher con- ferences during non-school hours to make up the second day, Barhydt said. Barhydt indicated that the school board wanted the provision for parent- teacher conferences during non-school hours in the agreement, adding that, "We've never been able to get it into the contract." TAYLOR AGREED that the scheduling of such conferences was a good idea. "They (teachers) do it now in many instances," he said. "We think the concept of paying teachers to do that, as a matter-of-fact, might be a good idea." Under the tentative agreement, the school board agreed to the salary schedule the association had proposed, Barhydt said, provided that increases are limited to the $3.1 million the board indicated as the maximum it would allocate. The money available for pay in- creases is approximately 9.9 per cent more than last year, under the tentative agreement, Taylor said. DURING EARLIER negotiations, both sides had reached informal agreement on a requirement that teachers attend five hours of in-service training during the school year. Under the tentative agreement, teachers have three options, Taylor said. ethey may schedule five hours of in- service training or workshops on their own time; ethey may attend a system-wide workshop on June 24, 1981; or, *they may choose not to attend the workshop or in-service training, and lose one day's pay. UNDER THE tentative school calen- dar, students will attend school until June 19 next summer. June 22 and 23 will be record days for teachers, Taylor said, and the optional workshop will be held on June 24. Taylor indicated that formal ratification of the agreement will probably take place within two weeks. He noted that it was important for the system's staff to have time to read the agreement, to discuss it, and then to vote on it.

LANSING (UPI)-Robert Tisch, Michigan's No. 1 tax cutter, said yesterday he will vote for the proposed income tax increase designed to fund new facilities for the state's over- crowded prison system. Tisch made the seemingly out-of- character pledge in a statement responding to reports that adoption of his property tax slashing plan would force the closing of four major prisons and release of 6,000 inmates. The colorful Shiawassee County drain commissioner called the report-prepared by the state Correc- tions Department-"scare tactics" on the part of the Milliken administration which opposes his amendment. "MAYBE GOV. (William) Milliken and others in his administration are not aware that Proposal E, on the Nov. 4 ballot, will provide funds . . . to build new prison facilities," Tisch said. "Certainly, Proposal E will permit the people to directly vote on the prison issue," he said. "I intend to vote for Proposal E myself." The proposal, placed on the ballot by the legislature with Milliken's blessing, would levy a .1 per cent income tax for five years to fund construction of five new prisons. GO BLUE!
