Hostage breakthrough
TKHRAN, Iran ? The Moslem militants who have
held some 50 Americans hostage at the II S Rmhassv
in Tehran for 125 days yesterday asked the ruling
Revolutionary Council to take over responsibility for
the captives.
The dramatic development seemed to signal a major
breakthrough toward ending the crisis. But Iranian
authorities, who have said a final decision on the

immediate comment to indicate whether they now
might be freed sooner.
The militants' decision to surrender the hostages,
first reported by Tehran Radio, appeared to clear the
way for a U.N. investigating commission to meet with
them as planned.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan ? Pakistan rejected an offer
of $400 million in IIS aid to strpntfthpn its Hpfpn<;p<;
against the Russians in neighboring Afghanistan. It
said it would depend on its own, "unity and strength"
and the "time-tested friendship" of China.
Agha Shahi, President Mohammed Zia Ul-Haq's
foreign affairs adviser, told a meeting of municipal
leaders Wednesday "Pakistan has sDecificallv
dissociated itself from any U.S. initiative to introduce
the relevant (aid) legislation in the American
Congress."
He said President Carter's offer of $200 million in
military aid and $200 million in economic aid over a
two-year period was too small to improve Pakistan's
defense capability. Zia called the offer "peanuts"
when Carter first made it in January.
Guerrillas free 1 hostage
BOGOTA, Colombia ? The leftist guerrillas holding
the Dominican Embassy freed one of their two dozen
hostagesyest v; dLy, Austrian Ambassador Edgar Selzer.

Asencio remained amnnp the rantive<;
The Austrian ambassador was freed at 7:30a.m. and
taken by the Red Cross to anundisclosed location.
Sources said Selzer left Colombia for Europe with his

I Syndrome kills child
CHARLOTTE, N.C. ? Reye's syndrome ? a noncontagious,
acute childhood disease ? has killed a 14year-old
Charlotte girl, and an infant is in critical
condition with the illness.
The death of Sherrv I/vnn Morton is the first death
caused by Reye's syndrome in North Carolina this
year. Miss Morton died on Sunday at Presbyterian
Hospital from what her doctors said "just looked like a
classic case of Reye's syndrome."
An 18-month-old infant from Shelby was in critical
condition Wednesday at Charlotte Memorial Hospital
with the illness, according to hospital officials.While
doctors don't know exactly what causes Reye's
syndrome, the disease usually strikes children
recovering from viral infections such as colds, chicken
pox, influenza or viral hepatitis.
Ali will fight again

Muhammad Ali, 38 years old, three-time former
heavyweight champion, at a real heavy weight now, is
unretiring again.
His manager, Jabir (formerly Herbert) Muhammad,
and Bob Arum, president of Top Rank, said so
anyway, signing an agreement Wednesday calling for
ah 10 ngni late, tne world Boxing Association
champion, for what they called a record purse.
The date and location of the fight haven't been
decided yet. But the matter could be made academic if
Tate loses in a previous commitment.

Resolution gets approval
COLUMBIA ? A measure to allow a governor to
succeed himself in office ? one of Gov. Dick Rilev's
State of the State proposals ? was given tentative
approval by the South Carolina Senate Wednesday.
The resolution by Sen. Heyward McDonald, DRichland,
received 10 votes more than the two-thirds
approval needed to put a constitutional amendment
before the voters.
The measure was approved on a 37-3 roll call despite
an argument by one opponent that the Senate was
undercutting its own power and turning South Carolina
into a gubernatorial state.
i ne resolution calls tor a constitutional amendment
to be put on the November ballot to let voters decide
whether a governor, who presently cannot succeed
himself, should be eligible for a second consecutive
four-year term.
Good forcp will rn<;t
COLUMBIA ? If South Carolina wants a
professional, first-rate police force, it must be willing
to pay salaries more in line with the private sector,
Senate and House members have been told.
"You get what you pay for," said Eddie Tallon, a
spokesman for the South Carolina Law Enforcement
Association and Sheriff's Association.
If the state wants a police force that is "trained,
dignified and nf maximum nualitv it mnct
I' D - - .. VJ , ?V MUV " ***** 'b
to pay for it," he said during a hearing Wednesday into
bills to set minimum annual salaries for all law enforcement
officers in the state.
Industry should get burden
GREENVILLE ? The textile industry and not the
taxpayers should bear the Financial burden of supporting
brown lung victims in the Carolinas,
spokesmen for the Carolina Brown Lung Association
say.
The association released a study Wednesday indicating
that disabled cotton mill workers in North
Carolina and South Carolina receive 82 percent of their
income from federal programs such as Social Security
and 18 percent from their former employers.
"The textile industry is avoiding its responsibility by
shifting its burden on the taxpayers," said John Cobb
of Felzer, president of the state board of the Brown
Lung Association.
Mock election denied
! CHARLESTON ? Baptist College officials have told
students they can't hold a mock presidential election
Ion campus because "they don't mean anything."
