Iran executions scheduled
The Committee for Artistic and
Intellectual Freedom in Iran, baaed at
Portland State University, is asking the
support of American citizens in the effort
to save ten political opponents of the
Shah of Iran from the firing squad.
An A P dispatch from Tehran on
December 31 states that the government
is planning to execute the ten persons
who are charged with belonging to an
urban guerrilla group and were allegedly
instrumental in assassinating two United
States Army colonels in Tehran last
spring and another in June of 1973.
Prior to the A P dispatch, the Iranian
government controlled press ran a series
of stories about the arrests. The names
of seven individuals were given by the
PSU students aid BEC
government, but there was no mention of
a trial, military or otherwise. The only
evidence cited by the government against
the seven was based on “confessions'*
extracted by the 8 A V A K , the shah's
secret police, from the defendenta.
Although the names of all of the ten
defendants have not been disclosed, the
A P dispatch contained the name of Ms.
Manijeh Ashrafzadeh Kermani as one of
those condemned to death. Another
women, Tahereh Sajjadi Tehrani was
sentenced to 15 years in prison. In the
Iranian context of the growing number of
women who have stood up in political
opposition to the shah's repressive
regime, the execution of a woman
political prisoner is a new and ominous
sign.
The members of the Black Educatonal
Center expressed gratitude to the
Portland State University Black Cultural
Affairs Board for Its support of the Black
Educatonal Center school and its Kwanza
celebration.
On January 11th, the Black Cultural
Affairs Board donated the proceeds of
that night's performance of "Five on the
Black Hand Side" to the BEC school.
operated by Black people to insure that
the children receive the proper education
to prepare them for the future. The BEC
school depends solely on contributions for
its support.
Kwanza is a traditional African/Mlack
holiday to celebrate and share the fruits
of the passing year. In Portland. Kwanza
has been celebrated for the past five
years and each year more people have
participated in the spirit of unity (umoja).

Employment
Service
Question: Just what was the volume of
Unemployment Insurance Benefits paid
in Oregon during the past year?
Answer: Oregon experienced record
unemployment during Fiscal Year 1975
and the resulting Unemployment In
surance (U I) payments pumped millions
of dollars of U I reserve funds into the
economy. This flow of U I benefits has
been and is continuing to be a major
factor in the stabilization of the unem
ployed worker's purchasing power during
what ia probably the moat severe
recession since the depression of the
1930's.
The recession caused claims activity
under the regular State U I program to
show a sharp increaae in F Y 75, compared
with the F Y 74 level of activity. The
number of weeks of unemployment
claimed increased 58 percent for a total of
2,514,104 in FY 75 as compared with
1,594,178 in FY 74. Insured unemploy
ment average 48,348 per week during FY
75 for an insured unemployment rate of
6.3 percent which compares with a rate of
4.2 percent experienced in F Y 74. Major
factors in the higher insured unemploy
ment rate included less activity among
wood products, construction, transports
tion equipment manufacturing and trade
industries.
In FY 75 ggoss unemployment in
surance b en e fit p aym en ts to taled
$124,898,449 for the regular State U I
Program; $2,144,455 in U C F E (Unem
ployment Compenaation for former Fed
eral Employees); $4,651,806 in U C X
(U n em p lo ym e n t Com pensation for
Ex service personnel); $16,841,485 in
F e d e r a l- S t a t e E x te n d e d B e n e fits ;
$7,931,946 in Federal Supplemental Ben
efits (FSB, paid by the Federal Govern
ment) and $2,036.96 j iu S U A (Supple
mental Unemployment Assistance, also
paid by the Federal Government).
Combined total gross U I benefit pay
m e n ts in O re g o n a m o u n te d to
$167,606,102 in Fiscal Year 1976 com
pared with $72,272,499 in Fiscal Year
1974. The average Oregon U I Benefit
check was $63.43 in F Y 76 compared with
$64.22 in F Y 74. A good portion of the
$9.21 increase in the average check
amount was due to the minimum and
maximum weekly benefit amounts being
changed '»--im $23 to $24 and $76 to $88,
respectively, effective September 29th,
1974. Again, effective the first week of
July, 1975. minimum benefit was raised
to $26 per week and maximum to $96 per
week.
