that ran past midnight.
But Tehran Radio quoted Bani-
Sadr’s press adviser Monday as de
nying that Carter had sent any ulti
matum or threatened to expel Ira
nian diplomats. Western news re
ports said Carter sent a message to
Khomeini Saturday proposing for
mation of a joint committe for solving
the problems between the two coun
tries.
CBS said the Revolutionary Coun
cil had decided to transfer the hos
tages to government control but a
militant spokesman at embassy said
in a telephone call to London Mon
day that “there is no plan to move
them to another place.”
The Times said the ultimatum was
believed contained in a letter to
Bani-Sadr from Carter setting a
deadline of some time Monday, the
date set a week ago by the adminis
tration when it said it was consider
ing stern measures against Iran.
The measures were reported to in
clude an embargo on trade of all
goods except food and medicine, the
expulsion from the United States of
Iranian diplomats, leaving only a
skeleton staff at the Iranian embassy
in Washington, and a request to
American allies to take economic
steps against Iran.
At the same time, Foreign Minis
ter Sadegh Ghotbzadeh predicted
the 50 hostages would be transferred
from the militants’ control at the
occupied U.S. Embassy to the Ira
nian government’s control, the
Washington Post reported.
CBS News carried a report Mon
day saying that the Revolutionary
Council had decided to move the
hostages out of the embassy. The
Iran working group at the State De
partment said it knew nothing of
such a report.
A spokesman at the Foreign
Ministry reached by telephone in
Tehran Monday denied there would
be a transfer of the hostages, saying it
was a plan “left over from a few
months ago. It is not about to be
implemented now.”
The spokesman also said Iran was
not “bothered by this threat” (the
New York Times report of the
alleged ultimatum to Bani-Sadr).
“We are not bothered by this
threat — we receive these threats
daily from the United States and we

Born in Venice, Italy, on Nov. 15,
1905, as Annunzio Paolo, Mantovani
was trained as a violinist by his
father.
“Father was a great musician,” he
said. “Leader to Toscanini, professor
at two Italian conservatories, gold
medalist, knighted for his music.”
At 16, Mantovani found work in a
restaurant band in Birmingham,
England and Sir Thomas Beecham

tuoso concert artist sometimes
doesn’t have enough fodder for
years.
“There were women at my feet
when I used to play in West End
restaurants, ” he said. “I used to wor
ry in case any of them swept me
away.”
He took British citizenship in 1933
and continued his success through
World War II. In 1945, he became
musical director to Noel Coward.

do not take them seriously,” the
spokesman said. “We do not fear the
United States.”
The reports were the latest in con
fusion over letters Iran alleges Car
ter sent.
Ghotbzadeh, quoted by Tehran
Radio and monitored by the BBC in
London, repeated Iran’s position
Monday that Carter had sent a con
ciliatory message to Khomeini dur
ing the weekend.
The White House denied “any
such letter” had been sent but
spokesman Jody Powell Sunday con
firmed a statement by the Swiss gov
ernment that its diplomats in Tehran
had transmitted messages from Car
ter to Iranian officals.
Powell, campaigning in Mil
waukee, Wis., for the Carter cam
paign, said he would “not dispute”
the Swiss statements. Apparently,
the crux of the matter is Iran’s claim
that it received a conciliatory mes
sage.
ABC News said formal messages
that were “firm and businesslike”
were sent from the State Depart
ment to Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
The Times quoted Bani-Sadr after
the Revolutionary Council meeting
as saying, “A decision has been
reached” on the reported “ultima
tum” from Carter. The decision was
not disclosed.
White House officials early Mon
day had “no comment” on the re
ports, spokeswoman Kate King said,
adding that nothing but budgetary
matters were scheduled for Monday
