WORLD Khomeini in hospital I TEHRAN, Iran ? Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was reported in a Tehran hospital yesterday with heart trouble, but his doctors said he was in satisfactory condition and would give a radio-television interview ' 'in the very near future.'' All revolutionary committees throughout Jran were placed on alert to guard against trouble during the presidential election Friday.Khomeini, Iran's 79-year-old revolutionary leader and Shiite Moslem patriarch, had been reported suffering from fatigue and went into seclusion .Jan. 12 for two weeks at his home in Qom, the Shiite holy city 100 miles south of Tehran. An announcement from the ruling Revolutionary Council said Khomeini entered the hospital at 1 a.m. Thursday for "more rest, more careful examination and complete attention." "His condition is satisfactory and there is no cause for worry," the council said. Sakharov speaks out MOSCOW ? Andrei Sakharov yesterday defied the Kremlin's attempt to gag him by asking "sportsmen and lovers of sports" to demand the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. It was seen as an effort to win support for a boycott of the Moscow Olympics. Dissident sources said Sakharov telephoned Maria Podyapolskaya, a friend in Moscow, from his banishment in Gorky to expand on a declaration condemning the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. The original declaration, signed by Sakharov and several other Soviet dissidents earlier this week, was addressed to the Soviet and world public, workers, businessmen and religious believers. In his phone call today, the sources said Sakharov asked that "sportsmen and lovers of sport" be added. In his first message from exile on Wednesday, Sakharov said, "Everything all right." But the government accused the leader in the fight for human rights in the Soviet Union of spilling state secrets to Westerners. Cold cures revived !i GLASCOW', Scotland ? Fried onions and turpentine rubbed on the chest, orange peels in the nostrils and mouse stew were some of the homespun British cold remedies displayed at a Glascow hotel. Dr. Nick Varey, adviser to the pharmaceutical company that put on the display to show how far medicine has advanced, said few of the old cures had any value, except, perhaps, offering sufferers a laugh. "I think the onions and turpentine might have some effect because it is such a pungent smell. That could clear the nose," he said. "But ! can't see the value of kissing a mule on the nose," another old remedy. J ^ I. : * * mw * ^ srftfjk WE ACCEPT M/ \ ><*& STUDENT CHECKS mL-. J SANOWICHES A SALADS | ^ ^ NAPPY HOUR 4 TO 7 A .

NRTION Boycott will affect future WASHINGTON ? U.S. Olympic Committee rresiaent KODeri j. Kane says any interference witn the Games scheduled for Moscow this summer would have an effect on the future of the Olympic movement. Kane told the House Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday that whatever actions the United States takes, including the non-participation by American athletes in the summer Games, would be met with a counter reaction bv the Soviets and the Eastern European bloc. But the committee approved a bill that would endorse President Carter's call for moving, postponing or cancelling the Moscow Games if Soviet troops are still in Afghanistan on Feb 9ft One member of Congress said he expected the full House to approve the resolution before the weekend, when the USOC is to meet in Colorado Springs to decide how they are going to respond to Carter's position and the apparent threat of a boycott call. McCartney still in jail NEW YORK ? Entertainer Paul McCartney, jailed in Tokyo Jan. 16, is being held "incommunicado" and only his wife and brother-in-law can see him briefly each day, says the ex-Beatie's father-in-law. Manhattan lawyer Lee Eastman told the New York Daily News McCartney's incarceration for allegedly bringing 7.7 ounces of marijuana into the country has created a "highly tense situation." "You know things are different there," said Eastman. "He has no charges against him so he can't be released on bail. Linda (McCartney's wife) and their four children are being very courageous ..." Japanese authorities have declined to comment on the eventual outcome of the case, but Hidehiro Marui, an expert in Japanese drug law, said he believes the 37year-old rock star will be deported within a few weeks. McCartney has been ordered to remain in detention until Monday for questioning. i. - -i i ? parson wanrs aeoare ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. ? Johnny Carson is coming to town in the middle of March, but Albert A. Marks Jr. . says there's "no way" he'll debate the popular entertainer over his firing of Miss American Pageant host Bert Parks. Carson, who has been leading a nationwide campaign to have Parks returned to the pageant, is scheduled to bring his nightclub act to Resorts International Hotel Casino on March 14 and 15. His appearance has led to speculation that Carson would meet Marks to publicly plead his case for the 65year-old Parks. But Marks, 67, chief executive officer of the pageant, said he wouldn't go against the entertainer. "There's no way I would do it," Marks said. "Mr. Carson is a polished professional and I know my limitations. That's the fact." 7f~\ ~7M Sunday I ? January 25 I JW /JW 0 Morning 11 \Jrs?v m/ W 7= 7:00 pm January 26 | wmX?

In protest of Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, the Spartanburg High School orchestra cancelled a planned tour of the Soviet Union and will visit Greece and Romania instead, officials say. The group was invited to visit the U.S.S.R. and Romania for 21 days in June by the Friendship Ambassador Foundation, a private organization that sponsors cultural programs overseas. "We've had concerns about the worsening relationship between Russia and the United States ever since we accepted the invitation," Superintendent J.G. McCracken said. "This was even before the Afghanistan invasion. But that sort of broke the camel's back." Kennedy supports uncle COLUMBIA ? The nephew of Sen.
