Khomeini declares 'cultural revolutioh'
« * • ..
Dictatorship of mullahs tightens
•' ' —An AP Special Report—
Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini, his Iranian
revolution bloodied by growing
civil strife, declared an
“Islamic Cultural Revolution to
finish the enemies of God.'’
French newspapers,
meanwhile, said Thursday’s
rioting in Tehran between
Moslem fundamentalists and
leftists signaled a tightening of
the “dictatorship of the
mullahs;" the Moslem
clergymen who are the back-
bone
Khomeini’s
revolutionary regime.
In 'Washington, Secretary of
State Edmund S. Muskie
claimed Friday that Iran's
political unrest was the main
barrier to releasing the 53
American hostages, who spent
their 224th day in captivity
"Saturday.

Botha warns of
'harsh treatment'
CAPE ..TOWN, South Africa
(AP) — Stung by criticism at
home and abroad, South Africa
smashed Namibian black
nationalist guerrilla camps in
Angola and pledged harsh
treatment if foes within its
borders resort to violence.
‘ The warning Friday by Prime
Minister Pieter W. Botha came
three days before the Monday
anniversary of the 1976 uprising
in Johannesburg’s' all-black
suburb of Soweto. That rioting
by” students protesting
discrimination and the enforced
use of Afrikaans, the language
of the ruling whites, spread
from Soweto to black townships
across the country and" left
more than 700 dead, most of
them blacks.
Rebels ambush
Soviet column
reports Saturday, Khomeini’s
announcement of “a cultural
revolution” was aimed at fears
"that our culture will remain
the same as during the
domination of the corrupt
(shah’s) regime.” He was
referring to the deposed Shah of
Iran, ousted 17 months ago and
currently living in exile in
Egypt-
“All schools and universities
established under the reign of
the shah must be placed 'in
direct control in order to protect
their students from the danger
of contamination by ideas
contrary to the value of Islam,"
Khomeini said, apparently
signaling a new attempt to
purge leftists from the
educational f^item.
Hassan Ayat, a spokesman
for the fundamentalist Iranian
Republican Party leader
Ayatollah Mohammad
Beheshti, reportedly told the
French press that Iran's
President Abolhassan Bani-
Sadr would be merely a figure-
head president.
The socialist-oriented French
daily Le Matin reported
<* Saturday that the Moslem
fundamentalists “are ready to
frontally attack those who
argue in one way or another
with the dictatorship of the
Mullahs."
I-e Matin said Beheshti's
followers were moving strongly
to exploit their recent victories
in the parliamentary elections,
and they have left no doubt that <
one of their first targets is Bani-
Sadr.
Earlier last week, Khomeini
warned the nation that internal
feuding, such as the friction
between Bani-Sadr and the IRP
arid cleric-dominated
Parliament, could -topple his
revolution.
Political observers in Iran
said they viewed the rioting
Thursday in Tehran, which left
five dead and 300 injured, as
part of a breakdown among the
revolutionary groups that
cooperated in toppling Shah
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s
government in February 1979.
The fighting began when
Khomeini’s fundamentalist
Moslem supporters attacked a
rally held in a Tehran
University stadium by 100,000
members of Iran’s largest
leftist opposition group, the
People’s Mujahedeen.
The Khomeini supporters,
membersof the Party uf God or
Hezbollahi, threw bricks and
rocks at the leftists, and called
for the death of their leader,
Massoud Rajavi, witnesses
said.
When the brawling mobs
spilled into the street outside
the stadium and neared the
occupied U.S. Embassy,
revolutionary guardsmen and
Iranian militants holding the
embassy used automatic
weapons and tear gas to. q,uell
the ribtlng. the witnesses said.
The Mujahedeen played a key
role in the anti-shah revolution,
- but have since grown disaf-
fected, claiming they are for-
bidden aecess-Fi the media and
seats in Parliament and have
been denied their human rights.
Leftist leaders claimed
Thursday ’s clash was part of an
effort by Moslem fun-
damentalists to monopolize
their control of Iran.
A Moslem clergyman told a
sabbath prayer meeting in
Tehran Friday that the leftists
are counter-revolutionaries.
His statement raised fears of
further violence.
Earlier last week, Khomeini
warned the nation that internal
feuding could topple his
revolution. Less than a month
ago, on April 19, a clash at
Tehran University among rival
Moslem and leftist student
groups set off a week of violence
that left 20 dead and a large
number injured.
In Washington, Muskie told a
news conference Friday that
the release of the hostages
might come when political
authority in Iran is con-
centrated and “Iran begins to
perceive it has other overriding
priorities which it ought to be
concentrating on and pur-
suing.”
Muskie said the diffusion of
political authority in Iran ap-
pears to be the main obstacle to
release of the hostages, held
since Nov. 4. He said signs of
political unrest in Iran have
produced what appears to be a
recognition of the fact that the
hostage crisis "is more of a
problem than an opportunity.”

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP)
— Afghan rebels ambushed a
Soviet armored column in the
hills of eastern Afghanistan
sparking a fierce ongoing battle
between thousands of men on
each side that has left scores of
casualties, a rebel spokesman
said here.
Abdul Akbarzai, a spokesman
for the National Islamic Front
of Afghanistan, said Friday the
battle, one of the largest
'reported so far in the 26-month-
old Afghan civil war, began
Wednesday night when the
Moslem rebels cut off the Soviet
column as it tried to break
through to a besieged Afghan
army garrison.
The guerrillas sprang their
trap from two sides of the
Sultany Valley, about 34 miles
west of the Pakistan border,
said the spokesman for the
Peshawar-based insurgent
group.
He said 25 rebels were killed
in the initial attack and he
claimed Soviet forces suffered
heavier losses.
The battle was continuing
with thousands of men involved
on each side, Akbarzai said.
Three gunmen
release 22
MILAN, Italy (AP) — Three
gunmen who took 36 persons
hostage in a Milan bank during
a foiled robbery attempt Friday
afternoon surrendered to police
early Saturday after releasing
their 22 remaining captives,
police reported.
A spokesman said two of the
bandits gave themselves up
without a struggle while the
third shot himself in the
stomach and was reported in
serious condition at a Milan
hospital. There was no im-
mediate indication why the men
surrendered.
The hostages were not har-
med, the spokesman said.
