Mixed bathing ban enforced in Iran United Press Internationa] TEHRAN, Iran — Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has backed a ban on mixed bathing at Iranian beaches, which was imposed by armed revolutionaries over the pro tests of tourist industry workers. “Islam does not permit bathing near naked and bathing with wo men,” the ayatollah said in an ad dress to revolutionaries in Qom Sunday. “The people are Moslem and they shall not permit mixed ba thing by men and women.” Khomeini’s statement, which was published Monday, put the final seal on a ban already imposed by armed revolutionaries on the Cas pian sea beaches north of Tehran. Tourism industry workers have been demonstrating in Port Anzali (formerly Pahlavi) to demand the ban be lifted, complaining it has threatened their jobs. In a renewed attack on Iranian in tellectuals critical of his Islamic re public, the 79-year-old leader said, “these Westernized, so-called intel lectuals wanted to ramble, drink and indulge in other evils which would not be allowed under Islam. “The freedom which Islam preaches is intended to nurture man’s evolution, not to allow him to sink into animalism as in the West ern concept of freedom,” Khomeini said. The religious leader lashed at the foreign press for “waiting for any mistakes to be committed” by his government “so as to criticize our Islamic ideology.” NOW REMODELING c ]ar|^WVV r c^d FOR THE FALL & SPRING SEMESTER UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! 1,2 and 3 bedroom apts.

Byrd arrived in Leningrad Sun day and was met by local Com munist Party and government offi cials. He visited the Hermitage museum with his wife and dined later with American Consulate offi cials. The majority leader is expected to fly to Moscow, then to the Crimea later in the week where he will meet Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, who is on vacation. Byrd said one of the main goals of his visit will be to explain to Soviet officials the role of the Senate in act ing on the strategic arms limitation agreement. Brezhnev, Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko and the Soviet press have repeatedly warned the Senate not to amend the SALT treaty, claiming such action would spell and end to arms talks. Byrd already has said he does not think the Soviet lobbying campaign has been helpful. “I don’t think its helpful for the Soviets to be issuing statements about dire actions that might follow in the wake of Senate decisions,” he said. “I hope I can make that as clear as I can to the Soviets.” One senator with a key vote — Republican Minority leader Howard Baker of Tennessee — has decided to oppose ratification. Baker’s decision to vote against SALT came after Gromyko’s warn ing to the Senate last week. Baker said he was willing to work for amendments that would enhance chances for approval, but added, “I am not willing to do that while the administration assumes an adamant position, nor under Soviet threats of grave consequences Pravda made passing reference to Baker’s decision in its international review on Sunday. “This is a unique declaration in some ways. A choice by this senator of the tone of his speech to his gov ernment is an internal American af fair,” Pravda said. exploded near to where the PV ^ ast sunbathing.

Pope John Paul II has warned that the Catholic Church will multiply and spread, even “where it is condemned to death.” The papal challenge came Sunday as John Paul, the first pope from a communist country, concelebrated mass with 14 new cardinals created in the first consistory of his eight- month reign. “How little it requires for this church to exist, multiply and spread,” said the 59-year-old pope in his homily before the 20,000 this people gathered in St. Peter’s Basilica. “It requires little because church exists everywhere, even where according to human ‘laws’ it is not alive and cannot be alive and where it is condemned to death,” he said. The pontiff underlined the pas sage, in a sermon of otherwise only religious content, in a booming voice. Vatican sources said it repre sented a clear challenge to the world’s communist rulers that at tempts to wipe out Christianity would not succeed. “The church does not derive its strength from any temporal camp MSC Summer Dinner Theatre presents NEIL SIMON S <Q4JLI( IFiDRNM sorre WANTED MAGICIANS CLOWNS FIDDLERS JUGGLERS IMPRESSIONISTS BARBER SHOP/QUARTETS ACROBATS COMEDIANS GUITAR PLAYERS/AND DANCERS nor from any reserve of nate pope said. “Its force comti from God.” The Polish pontiff then pn each of the 14 new princes Roman Catholic Church witli| ring sculpted with the cos figure of a crucified Christ.
