1,000 arrested in Turkey world
United Press International
IZMIR, Turkey — Police, backed
up by soldiers and military armored
trucks, flushed out and arrested hun
dreds of militant leftists and workers
occupying a textile factory Thursday.
Police gave no details of the num
ber of arrests. Unconfirmed local
news reports said more than 1,000
people were held. A sports stadium
was turned into a detention center
for men. Women workers were re
leased after questioning, the reports
said. I
The operation ended a weeklong
occupation by more than 1,200 lef
tists and workers at the Taris factory,
the center of several days of unrest
and demonstrations.
Police used a military “panzer”
truck to break down the main factory
gates. ,

approved — Bani-Sadr
United Press International
Iranian President Abolhassan
Bani-Sadr said Thursday the 50
American hostages could be freed in
48 hours if President Carter accepts a
plan approved by the Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini.
Speaking from Tehran to the Ita
lian television network RAI, Bani-
Sadr said that if there were complica
tions, the release of the captives
could take two months.
“There is a proposal on President
Carter’s desk now which, if he
accepts, can lead to the release of the
hostages in 48 hours,” Bani-Sadr
said.
RAI quoted Bani-Sadr as saying
Khomeini had approved the plan
presented to Carter.
Bani-Sadr said the release of the
hostages depends not only on an in
vestigation into the regime of the de
posed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahla-
vi but also on America’s guaran
teeing Iran’s geopolitical and econo
mic independence.
“It all depends on the attitude of
the United States,” he said. “If there
is a positive response and action, if
the conditions are met, we can act
very quickly.
“We depend on the United States
for spare parts. They are essential for
us,” Bani-Sadr said, although he did
not specify whether spare parts sup
plies for Iran’s American-equipped
forces were part of the plan on Car
ter’s desk.
Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh
Ghotbzadeh said earlier that an
agreement on the release of the hos
tages would have to proceed “step by
step.”
“There are still doubts and hopes.
I am hopeful.”
Carter said in a televised news
conference Wednesday night that
“positive progress” has been made
toward the release of the hostages
and that Washington was ready to
accept an “appropriate” internation
al commission to resolve the situa
tion.
His announcement, coupled with
a statement by Bani-Sadr that
Khomeini has accepted a comprom
ise plan on the hostages, sent hopes
soaring that the 15-week occupation
of the U.S. Embassy would soon
end.
Because details of any release for
mula have been kept secret, it was
not known if Khomeini and Carter
were responding favorably to the
same set of guidelines. But both
leaders apparently hinged their
acceptance of the plan on the work of
an international commission.
