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.”

MOSCOW — Senate Majority
Leader Robert Byrd of West
Virginia was in the Soviet Union
Monday to begin a five-day visit
mixing tourism with a civics lesson
for the Soviet leadership on the sen
sitivities of the U.S. Senate on
SALT.
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.

VATICAN CITY — In a challenge
to communist leaders attempting to
impose atheism. 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
