Navy sails
toward gulf
WASHINGTON — A Navy am
phibious group carrying some
2,000 Marines is en route to the In
dian Ocean amid Iranian threats
to close the Persian Gulf and cut
off the movement of oil tankers, it
was learned Tuesday.
Pentagon sources said the am
phibious group headed by the
40,000-ton amphibious assault
ship Tarawa passed through the
Suez Canal on Tuesday under
orders to sail into the Indian
Ocean.
It was not immediately clear
whether the move was linked to
the new Iranian threats.
The Pentagon sources, who ask
ed not to be identified, suggested
the amphibious force and its
Marine complement have been
detached from the Beirut region
because the cease-fire in the
Lebanese civil war appeared to be
holding, and as a result, danger to
the 1,600 Marines ashore in the
Beirut area seems to have
diminished.
Officials were unable to say how
long the Marine amphibious unit
will remain in the Indian Ocean. It
was told to go there and await fur
ther orders, sources said.
New rule for
utility shutoff
SALEM — Oregon Public Utility
Commissioner |ohn Lobdell has
adopted new rules that further
restrict when a utility can shut off
a customer's service for non
payment of bills.
The rules involving gas and elec
tric companies had to be changed
because of a bill passed by the
Oregon Legislature this year,
Lobdell's office said.
The new rules allow utility
customers to avoid having their
service shut off at any time of the
year if they obtain a medical cer
tificate saying such a shutoff
would endanger their health.
Previous rules limited the use of
medical certificates to between
Oct. 1 and April 1.
Under the new rules, a

Soviets set
talks limit
WASHINGTON — The Soviet
Union has threatened to suspend
negotiations on limiting medium
range nuclear weapons if agree
ment is not reached by December
to block deployment of new U.S.
Pershing and cruise missiles in
Western Europe, a U.S. official
said Tuesday.
"We would hope they don't
walk out and we intend to keep
pushing for continued negotia
tions," said the official, who talk
ed only on the condition that his
name not be used.
He said the Soviet position in
the slow-moving talks in Geneva,
Switzerland, should become
clearer Wednesday when a
response to President Reagan's
latest proposal for an agreement is
expected.
The North Atlantic Treaty
Organization is scheduled to
deploy nine U.S. Pershing 2
missiles in West Germany in
December and 16 U.S. cruise
missiles in Britain and Italy. They
will be targeted on Soviet ter
ritory. Eventually, 572 missiles are
due to be installed in the three
countries, Belgium and the
Netherlands.
The United States, with the sup
port of its allies, has pledged to try
to keep the talks going if an agree
ment is not reached by
December. According to Reagan
and other top U.S. officials, the
Soviets will bargain seriously only
when they are faced with the
American deployment.
St. Helens
erupts anew
VANCOUVER — A change
predicted in the eruption on
Mount St. Helens' lava dome has
quietly begun, the U.S. Geological
Survey said today.
"Lava is emerging from a new
source near the head and south
margin of... the May 1983 lobe on
the east side of the dome," said a
release from the USGS and the
University of Washington seismic
center.
The new extrusion probably
began last week, but was confirm
ed by ground observation on
Monday, said Thom Corcoran,
spokesman with the Mount St.
Helens information center.
He said other portions of the
lobe, which began forming last
May, continued to grow, but at a
slower rate.
Seismicity remains slightly
elevated, and gas and ash emis
sions were continuing to occur,
sometimes several times a day,
said Corcoran.
He said that while the dangers
in the crater, where the dome is
located, were increased, there was
no increased hazard elsewhere.
Punk rock'n'
Rolls Royce
BRISTOL, England — An 18-year
old punk rocker, fired by Rolls
Royce on grounds that the four
inch spikes of his hairdo en
dangered the eyes of his co
workers, lost an appeal against the
decision Tuesday.
Peter Mortiboy, whose usual
dress included 18 earrings, a stud
ded dog collar, steel armlets and a
stud through his nose, was
repeatedly warned by Rolls that
his appearance was not up to
company standards, an industrial
tribunal in this west coast port
was told.
The luxury car maker dismissed
him from the Rolls Royce
Technical College and his $120-a
week job as an apprentice techni
cian when he began sporting
spikes in June, training manager
Howard Parry testified.
"His hairstyle represented a
safety hazard," Parry said. "The
spikes projected from the surface
of his head for some distance and
an accidental movement could
have injured a supervisor leaning
over him."
Mortiboy, who said he used in
dustrial adhesive and glue to mold
his black nair into stiff, vertical
spikes, denied that the spikes
were dangerous.
"They would be if they were
three feet long," he said.
