National and international news from the Renter News Report buqtq 4IIar attacli MANCHESTER, N.II. - Sen. Gary Hart promising new ideas and new blood' drubbed former Vice President Walter Mondale Tuesday in one of the most stunning upsets in New Hampshire presidential primary history. Rising like a meteor in the Democratic White House race, Hart, 47, not only best Mondale by more than 10 points in the first primary of 1984, but beat him among almost every voting block in this New England state. Sen. John Glenn of Ohio finished a distant third as New Hampshire voters, apparently signaling a weari ness with old faces, changed the Democratic race from a Mondale runaway into a David Goliath duel between the upstart Hart and the well-financed, well-organized Mondale. A sub dued Mondale conceded defeat here philosophi cally, predicting he would win the nomination anyway, and adding, "Sometimes a cold shower is good for you." An exultant Hart, from Colo rado, proclaimed, This campaign is just be ginning." Iran won't accept U.S. warnings MANAMA, Bahrain Iranian officials said Tuesday they would not accept a U.S. warning for vessels and planes to keep their distance from U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf, and said Washington would bear responsibility for any incident caused by its action in the Gulf area. The statement, carried by Iran's national news agency IRNA, appeared to be the first Iranian response to disclosure in Washington that a U S. destroyer had fired Sunday to keep an Iranian reconnaissance plane from ap proaching it in the Gulf. A U.S. Navy destroyer in the Persian Gulf region fired warning flares or machine-gun bursts last Sunday at a plane and two vessels that approached it too closely, the Pentagon said today. Two of the incidents involved an Iranian patro plane and a Iranian frigate in the Strait of Hormuz and the third involved a small surface vessel in the Gulf of Oman. Sex discrimination lz7 restricted WASHINGTON -The Supreme Court Tues day restricted the application of a 1972 law banning sex discrimination in colleges, dealing a blow to supporters of women's rights. The justices accepted the Reagan administration's narrower interpretaton of the law, which bars sex discrimination "under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." The administration's position has infuriated some women's groups, who have charged that a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the government would undermine women's rights. The ruling came in a case involving Grove City College, a school near Pittsburgh. The school accepts no direct federal aid, but several students receive federal grants and loans to help pay tuition. The Ford and Carter administrations maintained that such aid made an entire college subject to the civil rights law, but the Reagan administration contends the law covers only college programs that receive direct federal aid. 52.4 billion cut frora military aid WASHINGTON A concessional subcom mittee has decided to slash $2.4 billion from President Reagan's 1CC5 military foreign aid request as a way to make the Kl mere politically palatable in an election year, its chairman said Tuesday. Rep. Dante Faccell, who heads both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and its subcommittee on international security, said many factors forced the decision to cut Reagan's $12.4 billion request to an estimated $10 billion. "What we're dealing with is a deficit problem, an election year problem, a bottom line problem and getting a bill passed," the Florida Democrat said. 63 dead in riot in Nigeria LAGOS, Nigeria The death toll in what authorities believe to have been a Moslem fundamentalist riot in the northern Nigerian city of Yola has risen to 63, most of them hacked to death, officials said Monday.
