United Press International ^WASHINGTON — The United States tried to persuade the deposed Bh of Iran to remain in Panama, fearing that his departure might Bther exacerbate the Iranian hos- ^t§ge crisis, it was learned Monday. ■ Obviously, our desire was that the surgery be performed in Pana ma, said a White House official. ‘Whether that (the shah’s trip to Egypt) has any impact on the hostage ■ation is debatable. We obviously wmld have preferred not to take a ■nee.” i But the official also indicated all i not been well between the Pana- ian government and the shah de- ite earlier assurances from Panama bat he was welcome in the country. ■There were some statements Bade by the shah’s people which iffended Panama,” the official said. Ie did not elaborate. The official said the shah “always iad assurances that he would not he extradited to Iran.” But it was also learned that the shah was puzzled over why Panama continued to indi cate to Iran that it would consider extradition of the shah with the filing of a petition from Iran scheduled this week. White House national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said Sunday the administration was com mitted to allow the shah to return to the United States for surgery, but the shah decided he would be bet ter off in Egypt. White House chief of staff Hamil ton Jordan flew to Panama last Thur- say with the President Carter’s chief counsel, Lloyd Cutler, to try to smooth out a rift between the Pana manian government and the shah over his medical treatment. The official said Jordan ironed out the difficulties and got the problem of the shah’s surgery resolved be tween Panamanian and U.S. doc tors, “But by that time, the shah had made up his mind to leave.” The official also denied — despite claims by Iran — that former Secret ary of State Henry Kissinger and Chase Manhattan Bank Chairman David Rockefeller were involved in the latest developments involving the shah. The White House official ques tioned statements by Iranian Fore ign Minister Sadegh Ghotzbadeh that, with the filing of an extradition petition in Panama, the Iranian mili tants would have turned custody of U.S. hostages over to government authorities. “We have absolutely no indication that they were about to release the hostages,” the official said. “I don’t think there’s anyone who takes that serioiusly. They haven’t kept their promises before. They have always said if they got the shah back they would release the hos tages, and we have said we can’t op erate that way.” fghans appeal for help 1 *71 A ^ ■ f United Press International M M M 11 j Afghan rebels have appealed for t[p in their struggle against Soviet .cupation troops, warning that mas- ] ve Russian reinforcements ■atened the very existence of the l Bstance forces.
