Shah’s adversary rules Moslems from Paris PARIS (AP) — The man who may shape the future of Iran, a country ravaged by political vio lence and crippling strikes, smiles gently as he speaks of his follow ers cutting Iranian policemen to pieces. There is no visible sign of the firebrand fanatic in the Ayatullah Khomaini. The old man sitting cross-legged on the floor of his suburban home rarely raises his voice. But that gentle voice, exiled from Iran since 1963, has aroused revolt among Shiite Moslems, who constitute more than 90 per cent of Iran’s population. The embattled government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi has accused Khomaini of mas terminding a campaign to impose an anti-Western regime on one of the West’s crucial suppliers of oil. Khomaini rejects the accusation that he is anti-Western. ‘‘I am neither. anti-Western nor anti-Soviet,” he told an inter viewer. ”l am pro-Iranian, and I am against allowing American in terests to rob Iran of its natural wealth.” Khomaini makes no secret of his hatred for the shah and has said in interviews that he wants to depose him and form an "Islamic republic." If the present effort fails, he said, he will call for all-out civil war. He said he would reject any al liance with Iran’s communists — even to overthrow the shah — be cause they are "against God.” But he never has concealed his admi ration for the late Prime Minister Mohamed Mossadegh, whose seizure of Iran’s Western-run oil industry in 1951 threw the West into its first oil crisis. The crisis in Iran was sparked by orthodox Moslems demanding an end to the shah's westernizing reforms, which they say are con trary to the Koran, the Moslem holy book. They were joined by the political opposition and hun dreds of thousands of strikers. It is estimated that more than 1,000 persons have died in civil strife since January. Ayatullah means "sign of God.” Iran’s Shiite Moslems regard the 78-year-old Khomaini as one of the imams, or religious leaders, temporarily chosen by God to re place the promised "12th Imam,” the bringer of ultimate salvation. making the news From Associated Pivm rsports COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Larry Flynt publishing company executive was shot from ambush Monday night, deputies said, eight months to the day that Flynt was shot from ambush and left paralyzed in Georgia.

NEW YORK — The city's anti-dog doo law is such a success that "New Yorkers are finding it easier to walk the streets with their heads held high again,” says Mayor Edward Koch. Koch said Tuesday his conclusion was based on reports of public compliance with the law which went into effect last Aug. 1. Despite initial public skepticism, the mayor said: ‘‘Today, I can safely say the law is working and is serving as a model for other cities throughout the world." Under the law, people walking dogs are required to pick up their pets' droppings or face fines of up to $100. The mayor said that in the first three months, a total of 4,298 dog owners cleaned up the droppings after being warned by law enforcement officers that they would be issued summonses. PORTLAND — The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission has ordered an immediate emergency closure to all fishing on a section of the Trask River in Tillamook County. The commission closed the section between the mouths of Hatchery and Blue Ridge creeks Monday because salmon have congregated in the area and are being snagged by fishers. The closure continues through Dec. 15. A Fish and Wildlife Department representative said the commission acted to ensure enough salmon are left in the riverfor spawning. Snagging is the illegal practice of hooking fish other than in their mouths. MOSCOW — The Soviet Union marked the 61 st anniver sary of the Bolshevik Revolution Tuesday with a huge Red Square military parade and a remark by President Leonid Brezh nev that the past year had some "rainy days.” Thousands of Soviet troops marched through the snow dusted square under the gaze of the Soviet leadership.

No man who has mastered the flying skills it takes to fly and land on a ship at sea can be called an average pilot. And the sense of accomplishment and satis faction that he enjoys are also above average. Which is only right. For the man who would go places as a Naval Aviator must pass through the most challenging and demanding training program to be found anywhere. From Aviation Officer Candidate School through Flight Training to the day his golden Navy Wings are awarded, he is tested; driven; pushed and tested again. And for good reason. The Navy has learned that without the will to succeed, no man can be successful. If you’ve never flown before, but have the desire, you’re halfway there. Starting Salary is about $13,200 annually, and will increase to over $23,000 in four years. Which brings us to you. Do you have what it takes to fly Navy? To find out, talk with the officer information team. They will be on campus: Nov 6, 7 & 8 Erb Memorial Union or Placement Office (by appt.) Airplane rides available for qualified applicants.
