Young shah plans
Iranian revolution
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - The elder son
of the late shah of Iran announced from
his Egyptian exile yesterday that he
was engineering a "national uprising"
to topple the regime of Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini.
There was no immediate reaction
from Iran, where anti-regime violence
is reported increasing daily.
REZA II, who proclaimed himself
successor to the Peacock Throne held
by his late father, Shah Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi, claimed in his message
that "national organizations, inside and
outside Iran, are ready to join patriots
fighting inside Iran at the necessary
time."
His address, transmitted to news of-
fices by telex, did not name his
organizations. Nor did it say his pro-
royalist supporters were allied with any
of the known underground Iranian
guerrillas.
The shah, who assumed the crown
last October on his 20 birthday, said
50,000 cassette recordings of his
message were being prepared for clan-
destine distribution within Iran.
"SO FAR, I have been unwilling to
unveil the existence of the concerted
plans, for I do not wish to jeopardize the
lives of some of our best children," he
said.
He said that because of the need for
secrecy, "many of our actions have
been unknown to you. But I want to
assure you that the necessary steps are
being taken in the best orderly way to
save Iran."
The statement, to "patriots" inside
Iran and abroad, urged a "national
uprising to destroy the forces of evil" as
"the only way to salvation from the
present hell."

Pahlavi rule in Iran, and the family has
not had public contacts with other
Iranian leaders who have been forced
to flee from the tumultuous events in-
side that country over the past two
years.
Since former President Abolhassan
Bani-Sadr's ouster seven weeks ago,
unrest in Iran appears to be escalating
dramatically, with daily reports of
bombing and assassinations aimed at
members of the ruling Islamic
Republican Party.
Reliable accounts say that 400 people
have been executed for anti-
revolutionary activities since Bani-
Sadr's fall from power.
THERE ALSO have been an in-
creasing number of anti-Khomeini
demonstrations in major cities around
the world, with protesters briefly oc-
cupying or massing at Iranian em-
bassies in world capitals.
The Pahlavi family was chased from
their country in January 1979, a month
before the Khomeini-inspired Islamic
revolution toppled the shah's gover-
nment.
After wandering to a half-dozen coun-
tries, the exiled royal family settled in
Egypt in March 1980. Ailing from can-
cer, the exiled shah died the following
July in an Egyptian military hospital.
The new shah has been living with his
mother, brother and two sisters in a
walled palace provided by the Egyptian
government.
Ypsilanti woman raped
A woman from Ypsilanti was raped
Sunday evening near Platt and
Ellsworth Roads, police reported
yesterday. The woman was walking
south on Huron Parkway from Gallup
Park when a car with four males stop-
ped and asked her if she wanted a ride.
After she accepted, they asked her if
she wanted to go to a party and she
agreed. They then stopped for beer and
drove around Ann Arbor, finally
reaching Platt and Ellsworth, where
they raped her.
Police. said she has remained at Mer-
cywood Hospital since the assault.

They all scream ...
L OCAL FOLKS ARE accustomed to talk about the virtues of Ben
and Jerry's ice cream in Bunnington, Vermont, but now a news
magazine has rated the local product with "the best ice cream in the world."
That judgment came in a cover story on ice cream in the Aug. 10 issue of
Time magazine. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield started an ice cream
parlor four years ago at a former gas station in Vermont's largest city. In
the early days, they'd often signal that they'd run out by hanging a sign with
an ice cream cone circled in red, with a red slash through it. Now, 1,600
customers crowd into the store on a good day.
Tripping fantastically expensive
A BRITISH MUSICIAN performing in Finland tripped and fell on his
$250,000 Stradivarius violin, breaking the rare instrument's neck
during an intermission at a local chamber music festival, organizers said
Tuesday. "It was a pure accident," a festival spokesman said of the Monday
night incident. "We hope and believe the priceless instrument can be put
together." First violinist Peter Cropper of the British Lindsay Quartet was
descending stage stairs when he tripped over the violin, which was insured.
Last year a Soviet musician fell over his cello on the same stairs, shattering
the instrument valued at $100,000.C ]
