Debate delayed
Bani-Sadr claims U. S. prolonged
hostage crisis by jailing Iranians
United Press International
Iran’s President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr charged the
United States with deliberately prolonging the nine-
month hostage crisis by jailing 192 Iranians and called on
the prisoners to resist deportation to the point “that they
have to drag you into the planes.”
The speaker of Iran’s parliament announced Monday
that because of alleged mistreatment to the Iranians the
assembly was postponing its debate on the fate of the 52
hostages. He said the Americans, held for 271 days,
should be put on trial to show the United'States “we are
not scared.”
Iran, charging the Iranians arrested during a violent
July 27 demonstration in Washington were “subjected to
the most brutal assaults,” officially appealed to the United
Nations to appoint a delegation to visit the prisoners.
The 192 Iranians are now held in federal prisons in New
York. Many of them are on a hunger strike and refuse to
identify themselves.
U.S. and prison officials denied the Iranians were
mistreated and State Department spokesman John Tratt-
ner said Washington welcomed a U.N. inquiry into the
prisoners’ treatment.
In London, between 30 and 40 Iranians were arrested
Monday outside the U.S. Embassy during a demonstra
tion to protest the jailing of the Iranians in the United
States.
Tehran Radio said Bani-Sadr sent the message to the
Iranian Islamic Society in the United States and Canada
telling the prisoners Iran supported them.
“I have said many times that America itself is prevent
ing the problem of the hostages from being solved, ” Bani-
Sadr said. “Each time it (the United States) creates a new
problem to keep the original problem of the hostages
insoluble.”
“Militant Moslem students stand firm and tolerate
hardship,” the radio quoted Bani-Sadr’s letter as telling
the prisoners. “Try not to surrender. If they (U.S. officials)
are going to deport you, resist as far as possible so that
they have to drag you into the planes.”
The speaker of Iran’s parliament, Ayatollah Hashemi
Rafsanjani, said the assembly had asked the Supreme
Islamic Council to make preparations for trials for the
American hostages, since the Iranians were arrested in the
demonstration sparked by the death of the deposed shah.

Anderson
hit by two
egg throwers
United Press International
DENVER — Independent presi
dential candidate John Anderson
was the target of two egg-throwing
members of the Communist Work
ers’ Party Tuesday, once during a
speech to the National Governor’s
Conference and again after a pep
talk to campaign volunteers.
Susan Wray, coordinator of An
derson’s Colorado campaign, said
the Illinois congressman had just
given a “rousing talk” to volunteers
and was leaving his campaign head
quarters when a man stepped from a
crowd and threw an egg.
“The congressman was just reach
ing street level when this guy let go
with a couple of eggs, ” Wray said. “I
was right behind him and got some
egg myself. ”
Wray said Denver police and
agents of the Secret Service and the
FBI immediately jumped on the
assailant.
“The person who threw the eggs
was immediately decked, he was on
the ground in a split-second,” she
said. “The Secret Service put the
congressman in his car and rushed
him away, and others went to get
Mrs. Anderson, who was still inside
talking with volunteers.”
Wray said the second assailant
was “shouting the same slogans” as a
man who attacked Anderson earlier
in the day during an appearance at
the governor’s meeting.
In that incident, a man screaming
“You represent World War III and
fascism” interrupted Anderson’s
speech by throwing eggs at Ander
son and at North Carolina Gov.
James Hunt. Both eggs missed but
spattered Anderson, Hunt, Ander
son’s wife, Keke and Vermont Gov.
Richard Snelling.
The egg-thrower, identified as
Jose Calderon, 34, of nearby
Greeley, was grabbed by security
agents and taken away.
Jack Egnor, special agent in
charge of the Denver FBI office,
said Calderon had been charged
under the U.S. Justice Code with
assault on a member of Congress.
The suspect was taken before U.S.
Magistrate Royce Sickler, who set
bond at $2,000 and remanded him
to the custody of the U.S. Marshal.
Man drops
pants, gets
place to stay
United Press International
AUSTIN — A man needing a
place to sleep for the night dropped
his pants in the police station lobby
in an effort to get arrested, but his
action earned him more jail time
than he wanted — 10 to 20 days.
Thomas Thompson, 22, of Hous
ton was stranded Monday night and
needed a place to stay, so he asked
Sgt. Glenn Koons in the Criminal
Investigation Division if there was
any place he could stay in Austin.
Koons suggested the Salvation Ar
my, but Thompson said he didn’t
have the necessary identification to
get a bed there.
“Can I stay in the jail?” Thomp
son asked.
Koons replied that Thompson had
broken no laws.
“If I take off my pants would I be
arrested?” the man asked.
Koons assured him he would.
Then Thompson unzipped his
pants, dropped them and exposed
himself to a woman and a man in the
lobby.
He was jailed for disorderly con
duct and got the bed in jail he
wanted Monday night.
But a city judge Tuesday fined
him $103.50 for disorderly conduct,
and jail officials said Thompson
would either have to come up with
the money or work off the fine by
spending 10 to 20 days in jail.
