British Transportation Minister Robert Fowler went before the House of Commons Wednesday to answer questions about the govern ment’s attitude toward the latest “Chunnel” proposal — a single-rail, $1.54 billion project proposed by British Rail. If London’s press was anything to go by, Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government was expected to give a cautious and tentative nod to the 22-mile Chun nel, but insist taxpayers not foot the bill. World court Lobbying and cajoling his way through two years of red tape, Parker argued that a single-rail link between England and France would yield a real return on investment of be tween 12 and 16 percent — profits that no venture capitalist is likely to ignore.

Judge Platon D. Morozov, one of the 15 judges on the panel hearing the U.S. application for release of the hostages, asked State Department legal adviser Roberts B. Owen: “Is it possible to regard such acts, as well as threats to use other unila teral measures of coercion, and threats to use force against the Isla mic Republic of Iran, as in conformi ty with the United Nations Charter, and with the court’s order of 15 De cember 1979, and which required the United States government not ‘to take any action and should ensure that no action is taken which may aggravate the tension between the two countries or render the existing dispute more difficult of solution?”’ Morozov asked seven questions, which will be answered by the Un ited States Thursday in the final ses sion of the public hearings on the case. Owen said in his final argument that the United States was aware that admitting the shah for medical treat ment could lead to trouble at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. In response to a question Tuesday by Syrian Judge Salah El Dine Tara- zi, Owen said: “The answer is that such (responsible) officials were aware that the admission of the Shah might result in some sort of violence against the embassy, and it was pre cisely for this reason that the United States requested assurances from the Iranian government that adequate protection for the embassy would be provided following the arrival of the Shah in the United States.” “As I have just indicated, clear and firm assurances were provided on three occasions during the last days of October and on the 1st of Novem ber — at which point the shah had been in the United States for more than a week — the government of Iran honored its assurances in full,” Owen said. a gun. Owen said a Moslem interrogator pointed a revolver at an American woman hostage in Tehran, told her one chamber was loaded then pulled the trigger repeatedly. Owen said hostages were often threatened at gunpoint, tied to up right chairs for up to 16 hours, made to sleep on bare concrete floors and kept blindfolded as punishment in the first weeks of the crisis, now in its 138th day. Owen appeared Tuesday in the U.S. attempt to “conclusively estab lish" Iran’s violations of international law in the holding of the 50 hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and to require it to make reparations. In other action before the court, Owen charged the militants with threatening at least one hostage with “Over and above the other severe aspects of their confinement, ” Owen said, “it is apparent that some or all of these individuals have been sub jected to grueling interrogation under conditions which by definition constitute coercion.” He explained that much of this knowledge was based on the reports of hostages released afe-ij two weeks of the!
