Iran group
takes credit
for bombing
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -
A group calling itself the Iran
Liberation Army claimed
responsibility for two bombs
that exploded at a meeting of
Iranians at a Berkeley school,
showering a hallway with
metal fragments, authorities
said today.
One man suffered minor
injuries in the initial blast at
the west campus of Berkeley
High School on Wednesday
night. The explosion occurred
at 9:15 as police were
evacuating about 500 students
and their families. Police had
received two calls warning that
bombs were set to go off.
Police information officer
Andy Goodman said both
callers used the name of the
liberation army. He said police
had no knowledge of any such
group.
One of the callers reportedly
told police, “We don’t want to
see any Americans get hurt.”
The caller said a third bomb
had been placed in the building,
but a search by a police bomb
squad turned up nothing.
Acting Police Chief Darrell
Hickman said the first bomb —
“a device bigger than a cherry
bomb” — exploded in a plastic
garbage can near the main
entrance.
The second bomb went off
minutes later in a metal gar-
bage can at the other end of the
hall and sprayed a shower of
red hot metal.
Injured was Nasser Abort, 21,
a student at the University of
California. He was treated and
released at Herrick Memorial
Hospital for what a hospital
spokeswoman described as
shrapnel wounds in his back.

BOSTON (AP) - President
Carter, turning aside
Republican rival Ronald
Reagan’s assertion that a
nuclear arms race with the
Soviet Union is upon the nation,
declared today that the United
States would “compete suc-
cessfully” if the race occurred
but that would it be “totally
irresponsible" to initiate it.
Speaking to the American
Legion's national convention a
day after an appearance by
Reagan, Carter also took issue
with the former California
governor’s accusation that the
United States has become No. 2
in military strength under his
administration.
“It should be clear that our
work to keep America the
strongest nation in the world is
not finished,” the president
said in his prepared text.
“There are no laurels on which
to rest, no victories that are
final, no challenges that have
disappeared.”
But he added that a “firm
and steady course of diplomacy
and defense preparedness” is
his administration’s aim.
Making his first post-
convention campaign trip,
Carter was to receive a brief
greeting at Boston’s Logan
International Airport from his
defeated Democratic rival,
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of
Massachusetts.
Press secretary Jody Powell
said Carter passed up for "no
particular reason" an offer by
Kennedy for a more formal
appearance together. A
scheduled meeting between the
two men Monday at the White
House was considered more
appropriate, Powell said.
Kennedy has been courted by
the Carter camp since he gave
up his underdog fight for the
White House nomination during
the Democratic National
Convention last week.
In a speech remark that
seemed aimed at Reagan,
Carter said: “Our country also
has the courage to reject the
easy illusions of something for
nothing, the fantasy goals of
strength without sacrifice, the
irresponsible advocacy of
shortcut economics and quick-
fix defense policy."
The president said the U.S.
defense strategy is “prudent
and forward-looking,” and
takes into account “Soviet
planning and attitudes,”
leaving no room for illusions in
Moscow that the Russians can
gain advantage through the use
of force.
“No potential enemy of the
United States should anticipate
for one moment a successful
use of military power against
our vital interests,” he
asserted.
In another indirect reference
to Reagan’s statements that the
United States should send
forces to various countries,
Carter said: “We do not need
massive forces in place
everywhere in the world to
defend our friends and our
interests.
Although the president never
mentioned Reagan by name, a
large portion of his address
made reference to the GOP
nominee's positions and
presented the administration
MOSCOW (AP) - Heavy
interference, sounding like
buzz-saws and garbled voices,
drowned out American radio
broadcasts to the Soviet Union
for a second day today raising
speculation the Kremlin was
trying to silence Russian-
language reports of the
widespread strikes in neigh-
boring Poland.
The Voice of America ac-
cused Soviet authorities of
jamming its Russian-language
short-wave broadcasts for the
first time in seven years.
A Soviet Foreign Ministry
spokesman denied the VOA
claim, declaring that “like
previous ones, it is an in-
vention.” But an official at the
U.S. Embassy in Moscow said
monitoring by the embassy
showed the broadcasts were
being “heavily jammed."
“We do not know why the
Soviets have taken this un-
fortunate step backward or
whether this action will be
temporary or long-lived," said
a State Department spokesman
in Washington.
In London, the British
Broadcasting Corp. said its
Russian-language programs to
the Soviet Union were also
being jammed for the first time
since 1973. West German of-
ficials said their country’s
Russian-language broadcasts
were being jammed for the first
time since 1968.
Soviet officials said the
denial that VOA was being
jammed also applied to BBC
and West German claims.

A BBC spokesman said two
other times the Soviets jammed
its Russian-language broad-
casts were in 1968, before the
Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia, and in 1956,
before the invasion of Hungary.
While many observers
speculated that the latest
jamming was linked to current
labor strife in Poland, some
analysts said it could be for
other reasons, including the
general deterioration of East-
West relations.
The broadcasts from
America, Britain and West
Germany are believed to have
a Soviet audience numbering in
the millions. Many Soviet
citizens openly admit they
listen to the foreign broadcasts,
which provide a counterpoint to
heavily-censored and
propagandized Soviet govern-
ment broadcasts. The foreign
transmissions are regularly
denounced in the Soviet press.

From the rap sheet
rebuttal.
Carter, himself a member of
an American Legion post in
Americus, Ga., asked for help
from the 2.6-million-member
veterans organization, which
has criticized him in the past
for the Panama Canal treaties,
his pardoning of Vietnam-era
draft evaders and deserters
and his opposition to per-
manent veterans’ preference in
government hiring.
Reagan drew a standing
ovation on Wednesday during
his American Legion speech, in
which he accused the president
of making false claims about
the nation’s defenses.
