treaty that is said to give Syria, the longtime foe if Iraq,
the status of virtual membership in the Warsaw Pact. But
Brezhnev said the Soviet Union is not going to intervene in
the Iran-Iraq war and warned the West to stay out also.
Brezhnev signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation
with Syrian President Hafez Assad on Wednesday. Syrian
sources said it committed the Kremlin to defend the Arab
state from foreign attack.
In a dinner speech only hours after signing the treaty,
Brezhnev said the Persian Gulf is the affair of the Persian
Gulf states and "no one has a right to meddle from outside
in their affairs."
Brezhnev clearly referred to President Carter's
declaration that the United States will protect the vital
Persian Gulf oil routes if they are threatened by the 18
ciay-oia Detween the oil giants at the head of the gulf.

Sadat wants'reburying'
CAIRO, Egypt ? Egyptian President Anwar Sadat has
suggested "re-burying" Egypt's ancient kings because
exposing their mummies to view is against "our religious
concept."
"I can't accept exposing the remains of Egypt's
pharaohs in exhibitions for people to view," Sadat told a
cultural gathering here Wednesday.
"This is against our religious concept. And when I say
that, I mean the commandments of the three religions,"
he said, referring to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
"I want you to study this matter which is actually
preoccupying my mind," Sadat told the group.

Panel to consider Jenrette
WASHINGTON ? The chairman of the House ethics
committee said on Thursday the panel may decide this t
year whether to recommend House punishment of Rep.
John W. Jenrette, convicted of bribery in the Abscam
affair. j
The chairman, Rep. Charles E. Bennett, D-Fla., said he
will call a meeting of the committee as soon as it receives
the evidence against Jenrette from the Justice Department.
Bennett said he does not know if Congress' post-election,
1 J 1_ - -
laiiie-uucK session will last long enough, but said he
believes the committee should try to get its recommendation
to the House for action during that session.
The committee can recommend no punishment, expulsion
or several degrees of reprimand in between.
Carter tones down attacks
BRISTOL, Tenn. ? President Carter, after admitting
he's been "carried away on a couple of occasions,"
campaigned in the South yesterday and fulfilled his |
promise to take a gentler, more reticent approach toward I
ttepuDiican challenger Ronald Reagan.
Welcomed by thousands of persons at the local airport,
Carter gave his standard campaign speech but for the
first time omitted naming his opponent. j
The line that caused so much controversy earlier in the
week ? that Reagan's election would split the country
among racial, regional and religious lines ? was missing,
too. Instead, Carter said: I
"I want to see the nation united. North and South ?
united. Black and white ? united. Rural and urban ?
united."
Carter did not tell the crowd he was toning down his
attacks on Reagan, but in a television interview Wednesday
night he said: "I'd like to get back on the track" (
and trv "to hp sur*? that wo nnf Ko?(? ? tL

North Korea friend to Iran
WASHINGTON ? Iran, at last, has found a friend:
North Korea.
Isolated until now in its war with Iraq, Iran has begun to
get ammunition and medical supplies from the Koreans
via an Iranian airlift using American-built Boeing 747 j
jumbo jets, Treasury Secretary G. William Miller said
Wednesday.
"How long its will last, how many flights, we don't
know," he told reporters.
Another administration official, requesting anonymity,
told the Associated Press that the planes are carefully
avoiding Soviet airspace, flying instead over China.
But the Chinese have denied the Iranians permission to
refuel, meaning the returning planes are less than fully
loaded.

iv\eaicine made Ali unfit'
LOS ANGELES ? Muhammad Ali claims an overdose
of thyroid medicine made him "physically unfit" to face
Larry Holmes in their heavyweight title fight last week in
Las Vegas.
Holmes, 30, kept his crown when Ali didn't answer the
bell for the 11th round.
Speaking at UCLA Medical Center on Tuesday, Ali said
he doubled a daily dose of Thyrolar prescribed by his ;
doctor to control a thyroid condition.
Ali, 38, underwent tests at the center, and doctors said
the fighter suffered "no residual damage" from the fight.
Dr. Dennis Cone said the Thvrnlnr nv^pHnso "pochHc in

fatigue, weakness, and a waste of energy. Six grains is i
much more than should be normally taken." i
Ali said he took two pills a day, because a regular dose
had increased his vitality and because "all of my j
vitamins, I always take one extra."

Connolly speaks on Carter
FLORENCE ? The battle for South Carolina's electoral
votes went into high gear Wednesday as former Treasury
Secretary John Connally made a two-city campaign
swing. At the same time several state Democratic officials
criticized the economic proposals of Republican
presidential candidate Ronald Reagan.
In a state rated as a tossup, Connally and the Democrats
traded charges in an echo of the national campaign.
Connally called Carter's recent assertion that a Reagan
presidency would divide the country "a low blow."
"I think that's just unbecoming for somebody who holds
himself as a good Christian," he told reporters at the
Florence Airport.
"I think President Carter has been a disaster as
president; economically, domestically and in
ternationally," he said.
Terminal costs increase
CHARLESTON ? Unexpected expenses caused by
environmental regulations and other federal
requirements have raised the cost of a proposed state
Ports Authority terminal on the Wando River from $56
million to $79 million, SPA officials say.
Luther Rosebrock, director of the authority's finance
division, told the SPA board Wednesday the agency will
pay the additional costs with a $10 million revenue bond.
The bonds may be on the market as early as December,
Rosebrock said.
The state Budget and Control Board, which gave tentative
approval for a new bond issue in August, will review
the SPA's funding plans in November, according to SPA
spokesman John F. Hassell III.
Hassell said part of the extra money will be used for
dredging of the Wando channel ? a task which the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers was originally to do. The SPA

Rape trial for policeman
SUMMERVILLE ? A Summerville policeman, praised
as a hero three months ago when he talked a man into
releasing four hostages, has been ordered bound over for
trial on rape and assault charges.
Magistrate Ralph N. Knight Jr. on Tuesday ordered Lt.
E. Roger Hudson to stand trial on one count of criminal
sexual conduct and two counts of assault with intent to
commit criminal sexual conduct.
The charges stem from alleged incidents involving
female prisoners a the city jail. Three women who filed
complaints against Hudson several weeks after their
arrests for shoplifting testified at the preliminary hearing
before Knight.
Hudson has been on leave without pay since he was
charged Sept. 5.
Jackson Talks in Greenville
GREENVILLE ? The Rev. Jesse Jackson returned to
his home town of Greenville Tuesday to brand Republican
presidential candidate Ronald Reagan as a cosmetic
politician who would like to bring back the old South and
divide blacks and whites.
"Ronald Reagan would be a divisive force in that he
would adopt policies to bring blacks against whites and
Jews against Christians," Jackson said at a press conference
at Springfield Baptist Church in Greenville
Tuesday night.
Jackson also said that John Anderson is a spoiler and
that a vote for the Illinois coneressman fnr nrpciHont woe
a vote for Reagan.
Jackson said it was because of Reagan's views and
Anderson's voting record that he had chosen to endorse
President Carter for re-election.
