oea;nstatelnation/world Anniversary of embassy seizure celebrated in Iran By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI Associated Press Writer BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Iran celebrated the second anniversary of the U.S. Embassy seizure yesterday with marchers who'shouted "death to America" and vowed to fight "the world-devouring great Satan," the government said. State-run Tehran Radio said the day was declared a national holiday, as students surged through capital streets, carried black banners, ringed the U.S. Embassy building in central Tehran and shouted "death to Ameri ca." The state radio hailed the Nov. 4, 1979, takeover as "a revolutionary conquest of the American nest of spies." But the celebration was•marked by a pipe -bomb blast in the southern city of Shiraz that killed a schoolchild and wounded two other people, Tehran Radio said. The bomb ing was blamed on leftist Mujahedeen Khalq guerrillas Canadian leaders agree to referendum OTTAWA (AP) Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and the premier of Quebec province, taking a step toward breaking a year-old dead lock over constitutional reform, agreed yesterday on a proposal to submit their major dispute to a national referendum. Quebec Premier Rene Levesque has been one of the staunchest foes of Tru deau's plan for overhauling the Canadian constitution. Their accord appeared to, remove a major hurdle in 3-day-old negotiations among Trudeau and the premiers of the 10 Canadian provinces. But an overall deal had still not been achieved, and three premiers expressed reservations about the referendum plan. The compromise with Quebec involves Trudeau's proposal for putting a U.S.- Committee rejects. Soc. Sec. change By MARGARET SCHERF Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The House Ways and Means Committee turned down an attempt yesterday to raise the normal retirement age for Social Security recipients and to change the way cost-of-living increases are calculated. The action made any long-range solutions to the problems of Social Security financing "very slim," said Rep. J.J. Pickle, D-Texas, chairman of the Social Security subcommittee which sponsored the defeated arriendment. "It's a disgrace the way we have turned tail and run on Skial Security," said Rep. Barber Conable of New York, ranking Republican on the subcommittee. t `l would include the administfation and everyone in th 6 room here who voted against" the Pickle amend ment, Conable said. Minority groups oppose EEOC nomination By ROBERT B. CULLEN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A coalition of civil rights and women's groups said yesterday they are opposing the nomi nation of a black Detroit businessman to head the Equal Employment Opportuni ty Commission because he is not qual ified. Representatives of the groups, ranging from the National Organization for Wom en to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said it was the • first time their organizations have opposed a minority group member for a federal position. lections show turn away from Reagan, Democrats say By DON McLEOD AP Political Writer WASHINGTON (M') With a sweep in Virginia and a photo finish governor's race in New Jersey, Democrats claimed yesterday that the 1981 elections amounted to an early repudia tion of President Reagan. Republicans said it was no such thing. Reagan had campaigned for Republican candidates in both states, but national GOP leaders were saying yesterday that the results turned strictly on local concerns. In New Jersey, where Reagan's•economic policies had been at the center of the campaign rhetoric, Republican Thomas H. Kean clung to a razor-thin lead over Democrat James J. Florio in the governor's race as vote counting continued almost a full day after the polls closed. And in Virginia, Democrat Charles Robb led a sweep of the three statewide offices on the ballot the first gubernatorial victory for his party after 12 years of Republican rule. Former Portsmouth Mayor Richard Davis was elected lieutenant governor, and Gerald Baines, a member of the House of Delegates, was elected attorney general. Although Republicans claimed some gains, Democrats held control of legislatures in both states. And Democrats claimed a 2-1 margin in the Kentucky state Senate, and won most of the big-city mayoral races on Tuesday. After first announcing that the New Jersey vote had been completed with Kean the winner by 1,090 out of some 2.3 million votes, the News Election Service said late yesterday it had discovered mistakes and was making adjustments. The count at that point was 1,142,945 for Kean and 1,142,689 for Florio a difference of only 265 votes. Final results still must be certified by county clerks and the style bill of rights in the Canadian consti tution. Levesque and seven other premiers have objected to the charter of rights as a diminution of provincial powers in what is now a highly decentralized federation. The charter's guarantee of language rights, for example, would override Que bec laws restricting the use of English in that largely French-speaking province. Trudeau, emerging from yesterday's meeting with the premiers, said he had "great news" that there was "an alliance developing between Quebec and Canada." He said that he and Levesque had agreed that a binding nationwide refer endum would be held on the charter of rights if the provincial and federal gov ernments could not agree on the issue within two years. The vote against the measure was 18-14. The amendment would have raised the age at which retirees could get full Social Security benefits from 65 to 66, and would have provided a bonus for those who postpone retirement to 67 or 68. It also would have provided that, beginning in 1983, cost-of-living increases be based on the lower of govern ment figures on wage increases or price increases. Such increases now are based on price increase figures, which have been rising at a faster rate than average wages. As a result, Social Security benefits have been rising faster than average wages for active workers. A third provision of the amendment would have changed the computation of the benefit , formula to reduce the amount of the benefit received by a new retiree. The Senate has passed legislation providing restora- But Judy Goldsmith of NOW said the selection of William Bell to head the civil rights agency "is yet another example of the callous disregard for minorities and women" of the Reagan administration. "This is not the time for on-the-job training," _said Maudine Cooper of the Urban League. Other spokesmen complained that they had found no _one among Detroit-area civil rights leaders. who knew of any activities by Bell in the civil rights movement: Bell, 54, could not be reached immedi ately for comment. At the White House, Deputy Press totals submitted to the secretary of state before the outcome is official. Both candidates have agreed to a joint review of the returns with the possibility of a recount. With the unofficial count completed in Virginia, Robb had 769,422 votes to 662,788 for Republican J. Marshall Coleman. Party Chairman Charles Manatt quickly claimed that the sum total of the day's voting was a coup for the Democrats and a permanent dent in the prestige of the Reagan White House. "While it is difficult to assess the full implications of this election, it is clear that President Reagan did suffer a political setback and that the muchltrurnpeted power of the White House has been clouded by public misgivings about the Reagan economic program," Manatt said. "We think it all augers well for the Democrats in 1982," Manatt said. But from the White House and Republican Party headquar ters came equally quick denials. "We do not consider either of these elections a referendum on the president or his economic policies," Deputy Press Secre tary Larry Speakes said at the White House. "We think the elections were driven by a number of local issues." Republican Party Chairman Richard Richards said the Virginia loss was "a tough one to take" but also denied any adverse reflection on Reagan. And he said the party-building accomplished in New Jersey was a plus for the GOP regardless of the final vote count. However, most of the boasting was coming from the Demo cratic side in the post-election analyses. House Speaker Thom as P. O'Neill Jr., D-Mass., perhaps one of the hardest pressed politicians in town in the firpt year of the Reagan administra tion, saw the votes as "very, very strong for the Democrats." fighting to overthrow the Moslem fundamentalist regime. The Islamic Association of Students, which supervised the Tehran demonstrations, said it would fight "the con spiracies and plots of world tyrrany led by the great Satan, the world-devouring America . . . We shall not rest until the complete elimination of tyrrany." The anniversary coincided with the day Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, was banished 18 years ago by the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Khomeini led the 1979 revolution that overthrew the shah, who forged close ties to the United States. The day also marked the third anniversary of massive student battles with the shah's army that left scores dead outside Tehran University. "You, Imam, launched the holy war against America before you were born," Deputy Parliament Speaker Hoja toleslam Mohammad Khoiniha, hailing Khomeini, told the student demonstrators. Imam means leader. Secretary Larry Speakes said the admin istration was standing by the nomi nation. According to testimony at Bell's Oct. 6 confirmation hearing, Bell has never managed more than four employees and has no expertise in civil rights law. The hearing record also showed that Bell's "executive placement" firm in Detroit Bold Concepts, Inc. is not listed in the telephone book, operates out of his brother's law office, did not have a license for the first two years of its existence and has not placed any clients in jobs this year.

Reagan rejects new tax increase By OWEN ULLMANN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) By rejecting a proposal by his budget director and a key Senate Republican to raise up to $BO billion in new taxes over the next three years, President Reagan has virtually abandoned his promise to balance the government's books by 1984. Administration sources said yesterday that the president told his economic advisers that he opposes major new tax increases even if the alternative is a red ink budget in the final year of his current term. Those same advisers said a deficit is inevitable without new revenues to close a widening gap wrought by reces sion. Instead, Reagan will continue to pres sure Congress for deep spending cuts to deflate a deficit that could balloon to as much as $9O billion in 1982 and $l5O billion by 1984 without further budget savings, according to the sources, who did not want to be identified. Meanwhile, Republicans on the Senate tion of the minimum benefit for current recipients and interfund borrowing to shore up the hard-pressed retire ment trust fund. The House has passed legislation to restore the minimum benefit, which was eliminated by Congress in budget legislation, for current and future beneficiaries. Pickle's effort in the Ways and Means Committee was an attempt to amend the Senate bill. If he had been successful, the full House would have been asked to aci, on the Senate version. No one spoke against the Pickle amendment during the meeting. But House Democratic leaders have op posed enacting any measures now to cut benefits, which raising the regular retirement age would do, in effect. For instance, under the Pickle provision, which would have phased in the later retirement age from 1990 to 1999, a person who retired at age 65 would get, instead of 100 percent of current benefits, only 88 percent of them. charged with enforcing federal civil rights laws, has a staff of 3,000, a budget of $lOO million annually and receives about 50,000 complaints each year. All but one of its past chairmen have been lawyers. Bell was the Republican nominee for Congress in Michigan's first district in 1980, suffering a crushing defeat. He got only 5 percent of the vote against incum bent Democrat John Conyers. Other groups in the anti-Bell coalition include the NAACP, the League of Wom en Voters and the League of United Latin-American Citizens. Republican Thomas Kean waves from his N.J. gubernatorial headquarters as he awaits the final outcome of the state's elections. Kean and opponent Democrat James Florio have virtually split the votes 50-50. Budget Committee agreed privately to a plan to balance the budget in 1984 that includes about $BO billion in higher taxes, sources said. - The budget-balancing proposal, devel oped largely by Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M., the Budget Committee chair man, also calls for about $lOO billion in spending cuts: Roughly $3O billion would come from the administration's defense buildup, and an additional $4O billion to $45 billion from benefit programs such as food stamps and Medicaid and Medicare. The balance of the $lOO billion would come from other government programs. In addition, experts estimate they would save about $l5 billion through lower costs of servicing the national debt. Despite the reported agreement,, offi cials announced that the Senate Budget Committee, which is controlled by Re publicans, would delay its public drafting of a new budget outline until next week.

Haig Jr. told Congress yesterday that its' support for MX missiles and B-1 bombers "will make or break" efforts to negotiate a new strategic arms trea ty with the Soviets next year.., At the same time, Haig disclosed there is a NATO contingency plan to fire a nuclear weapon "for demon stration purposes" should conventio nal war erupt in Europe. Haig told the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee that U.S.-Soviet talks for a new Strategic Arms Limi tation Treaty "can begin as early as next spring." And he said Reagan's decision to deploy MX missiles and resurrect Thursday, Nov. 5 ' 8 I) mpo. • ing, "It's certainly not our decision to add new taxes to those in our Sept. 24 package." That package called for rais ing $22 billion through 1984 by narrowing several business and personal deduc tions. The president's economic advisers have begun to admit in recent weeks that their original plan for a record boost in defense spending, a record cut in taxes and a balanced budget -- all by 1984 will no longer succeed because of the deteriorating economy. But the advisers have been at odds over what elements of the program should be scaled back. Reagan's decision to risk continued budget deficits marks a victory for Trea sury Secretary Donald T. Regan and a defeat for Budget Director DaVid A. Stockman. Regan has been the administration's leading opponent of sharp, new tax in creases, while Stockman has been argu ing that a balanced budget can no longer be achieved unless the president seeks new revenue increases. Assistant Secretary of State Rob ert D. Hormats told Congress last month that the $l5 billion pipeline project "crosses the threshold of a prudent level of European depen dency on Soviet gas." Rashish arrived as negotiators from the Soviet Union and six West ern European nations worked out the final details of the agreement. French government sources in Paris said they expected the agreement to be signed by the end of this month. Under the plan, a 3,400-mile pipe line would be built to carry about 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas a year across the Soviet Union to West Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands. the State Correctional Institution here "were such that there will be a New Mexico at Graterford."

"B-1 and MX and the degree of Congress' support for them will make or break our attempt to nego tiate a reasonable arms control agreement," Haig testified. But he said the new SALT talks can begin next spring only if the Soviets do not invade Poland or otherwise worsen relations between the two superpowers. "We should not delude ourselves that such a cataclysmic event would not affect the arms control process," he said. Swedes conducting tests when Soviet sub ran agroun• By HARALD MOLLERSTROM Associated Press Writer STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) —The Swedish navy was conducting secret tests of a new anti-submarine system in the area on the day a Soviet spy sub ran aground last week, a defense staff spokesman said yesterday. "We carried out trials of a new anti submarine torpedo and secret material• tests the 27th of October off Aspo Island," Borje Johansson, defense staff spokes man, told The Associated Press. "The trials involved helicopters as well as submarines." The Swedish national news agency TT reported the Defense Materiel Adminis tration sent a letter two weeks in ad vance to military and civilian authorities informing them of the tests in the re stricted military zone near the Karlskro na naval base on Sweden's southeastern coast. The agency speculated that the Soviets might have gotten wind of the tests from the letter, then sent the spy sub to find out more. But a Navy'spokesman;Cmdr. Gunnar Rasmuspon, 'said the tests had been un der way for several weeks when the submarine went aground. He said he did not believe there was a direct connection between the trials and the Soviet sub's presence. Gen. Lennart Ljung, Sweden's com mander-in-chief, submitted a report, on the submarine incident last night to Prime Minister Thorbjorn Falldin, who said the government would study the fmdings today.

Yesterday, the Kremlin deployed more warships and tried diplomatic arm-twist ing to obtain the release of the subma rine, which Swedish officials say has a high-ranking officer aboard. Sweden dug in its heels and told its ambassadors to boycott Soviet national day celebrations. A Swedish rear admiral identified the Soviet officer only by his last name, and other Swedish officers said he was either a commander of a Soviet submarine flotilla or squadron. Late Tuesday in Moscow, Soviet Vice Foreign Minister Igor Semskov sum moned Sweden's ambassador to Moscow, Carl de Geer, and voiced dissatisfaction with Sweden's handling of the sub inci dent, a Swedish Foreign Ministry spokes man said. -' Yesterday, the Soviet ambassador to Sweden, Mikhail Yakovlev, called on Swedish Foreign Minister Ola Ullsten to express "discontent over slow handling and overly comprehensive questioning," - Foreign Ministry spokesman Magnus Faxen said. "The Soviet ambassador's criticism has been rejected with firmness" he said. Foreign Minister Ola Ullsten said in a televised interview yesterday night that he did not expect a full explanation of the incident could be obtained. "I never believed the Soviets would offer a complete explanation for their violation of Swedish territory," he said. " We could not get any further with the interrogation methods used in Sweden."

In Moscow, meanwhile, the Soviet state radio publicly acknowledged the sub incident for the first time, and re peated the contention of the skipper, Lt. Cmdr.'

They know what we've got here and we can be there in no time." The head of the Swedish interrogation team, Karl Andersson, visited the sub marine several times yesterday, and Rear Adm. Bengt Schuback told report ers: "The technical inspection of the sub marine is very important but has to be seen as a supplement to the previous questioning of the sub commander and his navigation officer.
