White House hails shah's statement
that oil exporters should 'give a break'
r Washingtoa-The White House Thursday hailed as
"welcome news" a statement by" the Shah of Iran that the
oil exporting cartel should "give a break" to consumer
countries and forego any increase for at least a year.
President Carter's, press secretary, Jody Powell, told
reporters that the decision by the shah to work against an
oil price increase "is an encouraging one and one we
appreciate and find welcome news."

Powell said Carter made no pledge to meet Iran's
requests for permission to buy additional quantities of
advanced American military equipment.
The shah, who earlier this week said his country would
"remain silent" on the question of raising oil prices, told
a news conference late Wednesday that Carter had talked
him into changing his position from one of neutrality to
openly opposing a price hike.
Cuban forces
Washington -The United States served public notice on
Cuba Thursday that the presence of 27,000 Cubans in 16
African countries "will have an impact on the pace and
even the possibility -of normalizing relations."
Confirming reports of an intelligence study, the State
Department said that rather than fulfill .a promise last
spring to reduce the military level in Angola, Cuba has
increased its forces there by about 20 percent. The
Marxist government of Angola is fighting to suppress
insurgents who keep a civil war flaring.
Besides 23,000 Cubans in the former Portuguese
colony-all but 4,000 of them military personnel -the
department said there are 650 to 760 Cubans in Mozam
bique, 400 to 500 in the Congo, 350 to 500 in Tanzania
and about 400 in EtMopia, where a Marxist government is
fighting insurgents and invaders from Somalia on several
fronts.
Regading the Carter administrations' steps toward
resuming relations with Havana after a 16-year break,
department spokesman Hodding Carter said. "In light of
the military activity it appears we have gone as far as we
can go at this time."
Biko inquest
Pretoria, South Africa-Black leader Steve Biko was
shackled naked for 48 hours during police interrogation
and later driven naked to a prison where he died, police
witnesses say.
Another police witness Wednesday said Biko attempted
suicide while taking a bath in a prison hospital four days
before his death Sept, 12.
Sydney Kentridge, a lawyer representing the Biko
family at an inquest into the activist's death asked what
right police have to keep a man chained for 48 hours.
Col. Pieter Goosen, security police chief at Port
Elizabeth where Biko was detained, replied he had the

He said that also was the reason for keeping prisoners
naked.

said the black activist could have suffered brain injury and
a forehead wound at this time.
Firemen's strike
London-Tension and destruction mounted Thursday
in Britain's four-day old firemen's strike as militants tried
to prevent hastily trained soldiers from fighting the
nation's blazes.
The Home Office reported 12 fire-related deaths so
far, including five children in Northern Ireland on Wednes
day and today, but said none could be blamed on the
walkout.
Tempers flared during a London power station blaze
Wednesday when nonstriking senior fire officers com
mandeered a foam engine from a nearby firehouse.
The strikers seized it back, but troops later moved in
and drove it away.
A team of part-time reserve firemen was kicked and
spat upon when answering an emergency call. Militants
also sabotaged some of their own trucks Wednesday and
jammed fire station doors to prevent troops from taking
the equipment.
Real crisis
Washington- About nine out of 10 farmers believe the
energy crisis is real and their costs for fuel and other
energy are higher this year, according to a telephone
survey by the Agriculture Council of America.
The council, which conducted one of its periodic toll
free telephone campaigns Wednesday said, that 56 percent
of approximately 300 callers who were asked questions on
energy, said they wanted the government to help by
providing some form of tax incentive for reducing farm
energy use.
But 26 percent said they were opposed to such federal
help, and 18 percent said they were undecided, the coun
cil reported.
A spokesman said most calls were from Kansas,
Indiana, Nebraska and Texas.
The telephone call-ins are not represented as scientific
surveys or polls. However, those who do call are asked
specific questions regarding previously announced sub
jects, The topic Wednesday was energy.
