only "superficial damage" to a fountain in front of the
main embassy building.

been fired into the embassy complex and they were
investigating.

Airlines reroute flights
LONDON ? At least seven airlines, concerned by
Iran's deteriorating communications capabilities,
have rerouted flights between Europe and Asia to
avoid Iran, an official of the International Air Tran
sport Association said.
Leslie Armen, the association's technical director
for the Middle East, told the Associated Press that
communication facilities at Busher and Bandar ? key
relays for planes communicating with Tehran air
traffic control ? went out of service this week.
Armen said Iranian authorities have issued notices
to pilots that Tehran is unable to provide normal air
traffic control services. It is providing advisory ser
vices on weather and traffic whenever possible, he
said.

City snowed in
BUFFALO, N.Y. ? Snow was piled nearly 2 feet
deep in Buffalo Saturday, and several hundred people
were camping out in schools and offices until the
streets could be cleared.
Some dined on emergency rations, while one group
sent next door for pizza and chicken wings.
The students, teachers and travelers at South Park
High School were among hundreds forced to stay
overnight in schools and factories in south Buffalo
after a near-record snowfall in western New York.
Elsewhere, record cold greeted people across much
of the Sun Belt. Temperatures were in the 20s in
Alabama, .Tennessee, Louisiana and Georgia ? even
as far south as Jacksonville. Fla.. where it was 28
degrees, the coldest Dec. 1 in 102 years.
The snowstorm swept into western New York on
Thursday, picked up huge amounts of moisture while
blowing across the unfrozen Great Lakes, and by
Saturday had left up to 3 feet of snow in some places.
The storm was blamed for the deaths of at least two
people, including a man whose car slid into a snowplow
blade in Elma, N Y. Nearly all major roads were
jammed by slow-moving traffic and abandoned
vehicles, and a 60-mile stretch of the New York
Thruway was closed.
Research on pigs
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. ? Research on a colony of pigs
with a disease similar to hemophilia in humans has
offered hope to scientists for a breakthrough in solving
the mysteries of hardening of the arteries.
The pigs, one of two such colonies in the world, have
von Willebrand's disease, an inherited disorder that
makes them susceptible to prolonged bleeding.
Scientists at the University of North Carolina
Medical School say the pigs are far less likely to
develop hardening of thearteries than are normal pigs.
Hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, is a
direct cause of both heart disease and stroke.
"The whole world is watching these pigs. A lot of
what people all over the world do in the future to study
atherosclerosis may depend on what these pigs tell
us," Dr. Thomas Griggs, a member of the school's
department of pathology, said.
One thing the pigs have shown is that they are at
least partially protected from atherosclerosis by the
absence of a certain protein in the blood that causes the
clotting problem.
Griggs said the widely held belief is that the ob
struction in hardened arteries may be caused by an
accumulation of platelets, blood cells that trigger
clotting.

PSC accepts decision
COLUMBIA ? The Public Service Commission
quickly and unanimously agreed Friday to accept Gov.
Dick Riley's refusal to be subpoenaed in its hearing on
>. o /-? 111 ?_ f. r'no Pr.
<x jji wpusuu i increase iui o.^. Eiiteinc* uds v-u.
Five of the seven commissioners made the decision
without discussion at a meeting which lasted less than
five minutes.
Opponents of the utility's request for a $45.6 million
rate increase subpoenaed the governor last week
because they wanted him to testify about nuclear
waste disposal.
One of them, state Sen. Tom Turnipseed, DLexington,
said again after the commissioners'
decision that a state court would be asked to make the
governor appear. He noted 10 days is granted for an
appeal after the formal decision is handed down on
Monday.
Lice on the rise
COLUMBIA ? Lice outbreaks are on the rise in
South Carolina schools, according to a consultant with
the state Department of Health and Environmental
Control.
"In a two-day period last year, over 300 school
children in one county were sent to the local health
department for treatment of lice," Bettye J. Endicott,
said.
In Lexington County, an elementary school was

problem.
Endicott said outbreaks usually increase in the fall
and winter because of close contact of students. The
risk is greatest among female, elementary school
children, she said.
"Many people taught that only dirty people get lice,
are upset when their children come home with them,"
she said. "But anyone, rich or poor, clean or dirty, can
get lice ; the stigma occurs when he keeps them."

ROCK HILL ? The U.S. Department of the Interior
hopes to reach an out-of-court settlement by Dec. 7 on
the Catawba Indians' claim to 144,000 acres in South
Carolina, a department spokesman said.
On that date the department's third-ranking official,
Leo Krulitz, who has been the federal government's
chief attorney in the dispute, will take a job in private
industry, the spokesman said.
The disputed land, which the Catawbas claim under
a 19th century treaty, includes the cities of Rock Hill
and Fort Mill, the Tega Cay development and a part of
me ^arowmas amusement park.
