At the meeting of the International Olympics Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland, drama heightened yesterday with an announcement by lOC President Lord Killanin that he hoped to see President Carter and Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev in a bid to save the Olympics from a widespread boycott West Germany’s recommendation Carter to review Iran situation WASHINGTON (UPI) The White House welcomed Europe's new stance on sanctions against Iran yesterday, and President Carter's spokesman said he expects the allies to act unless the American hostages in Tehran are freed next month. While the president is pleased with European support, he still plans to reassess the Iranian situation himself in mid-May, press secretary Jody Powell said. Carter said last, week he would consider military action against Iran if economic and political sanctions do not prove effective The United States has broken diplomatic ties with Iran, cut off trade and refused to allow most Iranians into the country.

Tito's last battle may be over BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UFI) President Josip Broz Tito, losing ground in the fourth month of his battle to live, has lapsed into a coma and is in shock, the 87-year-old leader’s doctors said yesterday. The official bulletin by the eight man medical team indicated that death could come at any time and one Western medical source said, “I’d imagine its just a matter of hours.” It was the first time the doctors have reported Tito in a coma, although the bulletin’s wording hinted he had lapsed into a comatose state even before the night. "Besides the existing comatose state,” the latest bulletin said, “President Tito has since yesterday t Tuesday) evening been in shock. ” "Every one of his systems is failing," said a medical source.

A bill authorizing $13.3 million to pay the costs of registration was passed by the House Tuesday. But the 219-180 vote provided a smaller margin than backers had expected. "My guess is that it will have a tough time" in the Senate, said Baker, who favors draft registration. The House-passed bill now goes to a Senate appropriations subcommittee. The panel already has held one hearing, and committee sources said it might schedule another early next week and then take final action shortly thereafter. boycott Games expressly asked the National Olympic Committee not to send “a team or individual athletes” to the Moscow Games because of the continuing presence of Soviet troops in Afghanistan. It was in no way clear, however, whether West Germany’s National Olympic Committee, sharply divided on the issue, would back the gover nment when it votes on the boycott recommendation May 15. Government officials made clear the recommendation was not in tended to put pressure on the com mittee the only body legally em powered to decide on attendance at the Olympics Bonn officials said the Soviet Embassy had reacted sharply to the boycott recommendation. They said this might result in withdrawal of an invitation to Schmidt to visit Moscow this summer, an offer to which the chancellor has yet to reply. President Carter “This budget marks a departure from past years,” Budget Committee Chairman Robert Giaimo, D-Conn., said at the start of debate. “It is not a ‘spending as usual’ budget. It is not loaded with fiscal sweeteners to please this group or that group or this member or that member.” Giaimo called the plan a “lean and tight budget that calls for substantial spending cuts.” The Senate is expected to begin its budget debate next week. Differences between the two versions will be worked out by congressional negotiators next month. defined as a disorder resulting from ineffective circulation of the blood, produced by hemorrhage, severe infection, disturbance of the heart function, and characterized by such signs as a marked decrease in blood pressure, rapid pulse and decreased kidney function.

Perlick said authorities, including the city’s police and fire departments, are trying to find out if the fire yesterday was connected. A sandwich shop and lounge were on the ground floor and the Taurean Models Massage Parlor was on the second floor. The upper two floors housed boarding rooms. The fire erupted shortly after 5 a.m. Witnesses at the scene said there was an explosion preceding the flames.

Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., has threatened a filibuster if the funding bill reaches the Senate floor. Barry Lynn, chairman of the Committee Against Registration and the Draft, said Carter "will not be able to railroad registration through the Senate. "Anti-registration voices should prevail there by exposing registration as a meaningless in ternational symbol with devastating domestic consequences," Lynn said.

In the rioting, five private cars were destroyed, also fire engines, buildings, patrol cars and two vehicles were damaged. During a meeting arranged yesterday by the Northeast Task Force, about 35 citizens and news reporters listened to citizens tell how they had been hit, shoved or injured by officers during the disturbance.

The Tacloban City is owned by the government’s Philippine National Oil Commission and was unscathed except for a dent on its bow. The two vessels seemed to be heading for a collision when they tried to steer clear of one another but swerved in the wrong direction, survivors said. Water poured into the liner through a gaping hole, described “as big as a truck,” and passengers scrambled to safety on the sun deck, some of them slipping into the water as the ship tilted. Other screaming passengers leaped into the sea from the sinking vessel. pastor of St. Paul AME Church. “And I think what we need to do is train our officers to know how to act in a crisis situation without over reacting." LaMunyon exonerated his officers for proper handling of the disturbance, which began when an officer tried to arrest a man at a northeast side car wash who was a suspect in a shooting that occurred earlier. A fight resulted, the chief said, when several youths tried to help the suspect, and the situation erupted into rock-throwing and the burning of cars. “That was not the black community out there last night,” LaMunyon said. “That was a group of violent in dividuals.” Ghost tree The shadow of a tree forms an interesting pattern on the wall of South Burrowes Building.
