WORLD Arabs worried about Iran ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates ? The ruling sheiks of the United Arab Emirates welcomed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's rise to power in Iran, Kl 1 f nAur fhatr om mnrnnci?*rf fUnf kio uu w nun mvj m V IIIV.I caoillg VVU1 1 1CU LI let I ills 1 CVUIUUUU will cause them trouble, political sources here say. The Emirates applauded Khomeini's takeover in February because he was an Islamic leader,-in contrast to the Shah, who promoted secularism. But now the Emirates' president, Zayed Bin Sultan A1 Nahyan, and the other sheiks fear they will become the targets of disorders incited by Iran, the sources said. Iranian broadcasts in Arabic constantly call on Moslems to rise up against "oppressors of the people." The sheiks believe Khomeini's revolutionary regime is becoming more insecure and therefore prone to stirring up trouble on teh Arab side of the Persian Gulf as a means of muting discontent at home, the sources said.

Crash 'pilot's fault' - CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand ? The New Zealand airliner that carried 2.57 persons to their aeams in me Antarctic was on tne wrong side of the volcano it hit, and the pilot apparently was to blame, the director of the recovery operation has confirmed. "It would seem there has been a substantial error in navigation by the pilot," Roy Thomson, chief of the Antarctic division of New Zealand's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, said. The DL-iu was on sightseeing tour when it crashed Wedesday, killing all aboard including 21 Americans. Thomson said he could almost certainly rule out the possibility of structural or mechanical failure. Power strides made TOKYO ? Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced yesterday it has successfully generated electric power using heat from the vaporization of natural gas. A test plant at the company's thermal power station east of Tokyo obtained 122 kilowatts of electriciay Wednesday by vaporizing 10 tons of liquefied natiral gas an hour, a company spokesman said. In the process, he said, the gas was vaporized with sea water to activate the turbine. The spokesman said the process would need to generate 3,000 kilowatts or more before it could be commercialized, and predicted that would take several years. j HOMING (\ PrtRTYC/^LL c MCAa we gin 9avje ail your p^rtv neei , coweeiBsaiidwicI 1515 TrtYLOR 9 765-28QQ OR 765-( t/iv>i/^?n ct ou/inm/ir'v ic amr\cc I IflT L W K 7 1. r IIIIM IIIV^ I u l 1V-.KW l > f-nv^i SIM MBTinM I ran iwra Girl claims sex forced MONROE, N.C. ?

Americans are taking a closer look at a kind of milk that keeps for months without refrigeration, according to a N.C. State University food scientist. Europeans have been buying the milk, called Ultra High Temperature milk, but it is not sold in the United States. Federal milk regulations are under study to provide for its sale. The milk is made by heating raw milk to temperatures as high as 300 degrees to kill the bacteria that cause spoiling. Then the liquid is packaged in sterilized containers so it stays virtually germ-free. The milk needs to be refrigerated only after the contained is opened. Tanning booth warning WASHINGTON ? The Food and Drug Administration is worried that people who don't realize the potential dangers of getting a quick tan will burn themselves in commercial tanning booths springing up around the country. The FDA has warned operators of an estimated 1,000 booths that the government "is prepared to take regulatory action" unless the manufacturers install safeguards, such as handrails and shields around sunlamps. Most of the booths are in free-standing franchise operations, but some are in beauty parlors and barber shops. Customers seeking a year-round tan usually sign up for a series of brief visits costing about two dollars each. \ 11 m I A timely gift for 3 Performance guaranteed for eighte three years, with dependable $26.0 Westclox accuracy. 1 S?lOP Battery operated model is 8" x 5" x 3" Cr?llh?Hi?rw x ?1 | not included, provides up to sSH 3610 s, 'v Pj 1 US'. i * '"in ?????" ... ? *. * '?*.>>* <Q.*'.< iiii mi wmmi mi i iii imp ill STRTE Riley won't testify COLUMBIA ?

Riley said he will defy a subpoena to testify because of the dangerous precedent it would set and because he has immunity as the state's chief executive from a summons by an agency in another branch of government.

Opponents of the increase contend a major reason the utility wants the boost is the escalating cost of its V.C. Summer nuclear generating facility in Fairfield County. Speed limit crackdown COLUMBIA ? The S.C. Highway Patrol has received two grants from the National Highway Safety Bureau to aid in enforcement of the state's 55 mph speed limit, with a grant of about $100,0(M) which will be used to purchase 50 KR-11 radar units. The accuracy of those units was successfully challenged in an Anderson County court last week by a Lavonia, Ga., man, who was acquitted of a speeding charge after a jury heard testimony from a Clemson University electronics expert. A second grant of $380,680 will be used to pay 68 patrolmen overtime for 32 weeks to enforce the speed limit. Walker said patrolmen will be looking for drunk drivers and other violators, as well as speeders. Dead body found CHESTER ? About two weeks ago, 61-year-old Pauline Farr sat down to read a letter from her daughter. That apparently was the last thing she did before quietly dying. Authorities say a neighborhood child earlier this week found Mrs. Farr dead, still propped in the kitchen chair where she sat to read the letter Nov. 15. "There was no evidence of foul play," Chester County Coroner O.L. Stroud said. "She apparently died oi natural causes." The child spotted Mrs. Farr's body through a window and authorities wer.e contacted. Funds requested COLUMBIA ? Gov. Dick Riley has asked the Coastal Plains Regional Commission for $191,000 so South Carolina can develop its seafood industry. The funds would go to four fisheries programs of the State Department of Wildlife and Marine Resources, | according to Paul Sandifer, assistant director of the department's Marine Resources Institute.
