making the news
BALTIMORE — Roman Catholic women seeking admis
sion to the priesthood decided Sunday to send a delegation to
Rome to make a first-hand appeal to Pope John Paul II.
The action was among a score of strategies and positions
adopted on the closing day of a three-day meeting attended by
more than 2,000 Catholics from across the country. About two
thirds of the delegates were nuns, the others were lay women.
PORTLAND — Continued expansion of the Japanese
economy should offer the Pacific Northwest an opportunity to
increase significantly its exports to the Far East, an Oregon
economist says.
Japan needs wood, seafood and agricultural products to
sustain its growth, says Edward Hallett, trade analyst in the
agricultural development division of the Oregon Department of
Agriculture.
“These needs, coupled with careful, imaginative planning by
people in the Northwest may lead to revitalizing investment re
ntures that could be rewarding for both the Japanese and Ameri
can people” Hallett says.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas—Authorities here are faced with the
dilemma of trying to keep alive a death-row prisoner who is trying
to starve himself to death.
"We're faced with a man who categorically refuses to eat and
wants very much to die,” prison spokesman Ron Taylor told
District Judge James F. Warren at a hearing to decide how to
keep David Lee Powell alive until he can be put to death by the
state.
NEW YORK—Economist Milton Friedman slid Sunday
that a U.S. recession is inevitable and could come as early as the
first quarter of next year.
“There is only one thing I am sure of,” Friedman said. “We re
going to have a recession, and the later It happens, the deeper it
will be.”
A recession is a temporary falling off of business activity and
growth, usually after a period of rapid growth.
“If we have more inflation, we will have a recession. If we
have less, we will also have a recession," added the Nobel Prize
winner.
Friedman said recession would come in the first part of 1979
if the Federal Reserve Board retains tight money policies, which
he advocates.
Alaskans plan
computerized
homesteading
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) —
Alaskans will use computers and
airplanes instead of Conestoga
wagons to homestead up to 30
million acres of land if an initiative
approved in the general election
stands up to expected court chal
lenges.
Unlike America’s first home
steaders, Alaskans won't have to
build cabins on the land, which
covers an area larger than the
state of Pennsylvania. They won’t
even have to see it. All a home
steader has to do is glance at a
computer list and file a claim, says
state Natural Resources Com
missioner Robert le Resche
Environmentalists and state of
ficials say passage of the Beirne
Homestead Initiative will lead to
an invasion of Alaska's pristine
wilderness.
Iranians clash over oil strike
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Clashes between troops
and anti-government protesters claimed nine lives in
Iran’s oil belt, the Iranian news agency reported Sun

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

the shah appointed a military-led government last
Monday.

ing an army sergeant, were killed and 23 demon
strators wounded Saturday in Khorramshahr, about
410 miles southwest erf Tehran. Protesters set fire to
15 banks and a number of shops before troops
moved in to disperse them, Pars said.

shahr, soldiers shot and killed three persons Satur
day when a group organizing a demonstration re
fused to disperse. Pars reported.
perse, Pars reported.
The months-long anti-shah campaign has been
led by Moslem clergymen opposed to the shah’s
westernization of this traditional Islamic society and
has been joined by political dissidents demanding
democratic reforms of his authoritarian rule.
The exiled Moslem leader Ayatullah Khomaini, a
central figure in the opposition, said in an interview in
Paris that Carter’s "protection of the shah is com
plicating the current crisis in Iran."
The oil workers launched their strike Oct. 31
amid swelling opposition to the shah’s rule. They also
demanded a 22.6 percent pay hike, which was ap
proved by the shah last week in a bid to prevent *he
collapse of the oil industry. But as the bloody rioting
continued throughout the country, the strikers re
fused to go back to work.
The walkout has all but shut down the oil indus
try in Iran, the world’s second-largest oil exporter and
