The Michigan Daily-WednegdayJuly 30; 1980-Page 11 THOUSANDS LINE STREETS TO BID LAST FAREWELL Shah buried with full honors From AP and UPI CAIRO, Egypt-The deposed Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was laid to rest with full military honors yesterday after a state funeral shun- ned by all world leaders except President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and two former heads of state. Former U.S. President Richard Nixon and ex-King Constantine XII of Greece were the only prominent foreign figures to attend. The United States, France,; Britain, China, Israel, and Morocco sent diplomatic representatives. THE FORMER IRANIAN emperor, who in January 1979 was driven out of the nation he ruled for 37 yers by Islamic revolutionaries, was buried in the Al Rafaie Mosque in central Cairo in a traditionally Moslem ceremony. The shah succumbed to cancer Sunday, dying a bit- ter and broken man, his dream of a new Persian em- pire built on oil and arms swept asunder by the Islamic revolution that still holds 52 American - hostages in Iran. Tens of thousands of Egyptians, some crying "Allah Akhbar"-"God is great"-lined the mile- long route of the funeral procession from the presidential palace of Abdeen to the mosque, where two former Egyptian kings are buried. The crowds were restrained by police and soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder on Citadel Street. There was no violence. SADAT-FLANKED BY former Crown Prince Reza, Pahlavi's elder son, and by his own son Gamal-led the procession of mourners behind the ex-shah's closed, flag-draped casket. Sadat and the 19-year-old Reza read the opening chapter of the Moslem holy book, the Koran, before the coffin, and then went outside to begin the procession. Six sailors dressed in white hoisted the coffin and carried it to the gun carriage. Officials said Pahlavi's elder son, Reza, rested his dead father's right cheek on a pillow of sand in accor- dance with burial customs. The herb henna was strewn on the earthen floor. The body was to be removed from the casket later and the burial pit -'A lr Khomeini refuses to assist in search for new prime By United Press International Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini refused yesterday to help choose a new prime minister for Iran, deepening the country's political chaos and delaying still further a decision on the 52 American hostages now in their 269th day of captivity, reports from Tehran said. Ford hi~t by highest losses in " " its history DETROIT (UPI)-Ford Motor Co. reported second quarter losses yester- day of $468 million-the third U.S. automaker to suffer an historic deficit in the recession-torn period. It was Ford's third consecutive quar- terly loss in an American auto market that has been sour for more than a year, and was by far the largest for any period in its 24-year history as a public corporation. Ford's deficit in the U.S. market for the period was $735 million, but that was partially offset by earnings of $267 million in its overseas operations. EARLIER, GENERAL Motors Corp. said it lost"$412 million in the April-June quarter and American Motors Corp. posted a deficit of $85 million-both all- time records. Some analysts are now predicting an industry-wide deficit of more than $3 billion for the year. In the second quarter last year, Ford had profits of $512 million. Ford Chairman Philip Caldwell said, the poor performance "primarily. reflected the weak level of industry sales this year." Like other automakers, Ford has cut internal costs ruthlessly by laying off employees, closing plants, trimming dividends, and cutting back on spen- ding plans. But it is still proceeding with the largest capital investment plan in its history to update its products. minister President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, forced Monday to withdraw his nominee for prime minister, also seemed likely to lose Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, who was reported to have declared his usefulness in his post ended after an angry mob demon- strated against him. KHOMEINI GAVE Parliament the responsibility of deciding the future of the hostages but infighting between the moderate Bani-Sadr and the majority Islamic revolutionaries over a prime minister has persistently held up debate. Iranian sources in Paris who are in contact with persons inside the Iranian government said there was a secret parliament meeting Monday at which Bani-Sadr was told his choice for prime minister would be rejected and Ghot- bzadeh was denounced for frequent junkets abroad. Bani-Sadr withdrew the nomination and it was agreed a special panel of representatives of Khomeini, the president, and parliament would work out an agreement on the government. But Khomeini sent word yesterday morning he would not become involved. fin isf Thunderstc Ann Arbor (Continued from Page 3) The storm struck near 5 p.m., a time when many people would be moving from offices and stores onto the streets.
