F.uskie said Thursday. Cut ether U.S. officials indicated there was still d;:::rccmcr.t ever the details ef the Iranian demands, and they cautioned eainst expectations of imminent rc'.:a:e. State Department spokesman John II. Trattner r. i rkt c vXcit rncnt s "We've said puhliely we accepted the four points in da a h Nov. 4 by the Iranian Parliament. However, he cdd:Jt "that doesn't te'l you much about the details, c::s it?" i h!a;hie's remark apparently was the first by a senior Cart:: admini:tration official that the Iranian terms for r;':::e cf the ho:te;es were acceptable even in i f Tne Iranians have d:a::r.d:d a U.S. premise cf non intervention in Iranian affairs, the freeing of more than S3 tii'.ion in a:::ts frozen by the Carter administration in retaliation fcr the seizure of the hostages, cancellation, of all American claims against Iran and return of the wealth of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. . Meanwhile Thursday Iran claimed successes on three key battlefronts in its war with Iraq and rejected a U.N. peace bid, saying Iranians would fight until the Iraqis are driven cut of Iran. Iran said its forces continued counterattacking Iraqi positions near Mehran, a border town in the central section of the 300-mile-long warfront; near Susangerd, 150 miles to the south; and Abadan, 85 miles south of Susanerd. Tehran Radio quoted President Abolhassan Dani Sadr as saying: "As long as Iraqi armed forces are present in Iran, we cannot consider any peace proposal." Eani-Sadr met with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim's personal envoy, Olof Palme, a former prime minister cf Sweden, who expressed U.N. concern over the consequences of continued warfare, the Iranian news agency Pars reported. Palme also met with Iran's prime minister, Mohammad Ali Rajai, and will visit the war zone in oil- rich Khuzistan Province Friday, Pars said. The state-run radio quoted Rajai as saying; "I told him the question was one cf r:res:ion against Iran, which should be taken seriously. 1 told him the world shoud put Iraqi President Saddam Hussein on trial." The news agency quoted Rajai as saying; "The U.N. envoy's mission will change nothing in the course of the war. There will be no talk cf any ccace-fire." The agency said Palme described his meetings as informative, constructive and juseful. It said he would visit p-V., C?fi.rrv ' " The Iraqi president has said his troops would not withdraw from more than S.COQ square miles ef war conquered Iranian territory 1 unless Iran recognized Iraq's right to disputed border lands and 'to full sovereignty over the 120-mlle-Icng Ehatt al-Arab estuary that separates the two countries and is Iraq's only sea outlet. The 1975 border treaty scrapped by Iraq placed the border in the middle cf the waterway. Separate peace missions by Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, the 24-naticn non aligned bloc and the 40-naticn Islamic Conference organization so far have made little progress toward ending the 60-day-old war. j 1 y ; is T' WASHINGTON (AP)-President- clect Ronald- Rtcgan zrd President Jimmy Carter, the man he is replacing, met Thursday fcr the first time since the r .tph m t .- -m f :i:d by his wife, Nancy, arrived at the White House at 1:53 p.m., cne minute ahead of schedule, end becan walking toward the diplomatic entrance with neither his host cr hostess, President tr.d Mrs. Carter, in Just zs the Reag-r.s reached the open doorway, the president and bis wife Rcaa!T.n rushed cut to greet thern. Carter had a big ria cn hh face. Peagan acknowledged after looking at hb watch that he was "a little bit early." Carter said. "We're very glad to have yea here." , After posing briefly for photographers, the two men walked to the Oval Office to begin a private conversation. 7! t .Mrs. Carter was giving Mrs. Reagan a tour cf the White House at the same time. " Meanwhile, . sources close to the presidential transition operation .said Reagan will begin filling his administration's top jobs this weekend, and his friend and campaign manager, William Casey, is likely to be picked to head the CIA, The sources, who declined to be named, said the 67-year-old Casey, who had some World War II experience in intelligence, faced virtually no opposition as CIA director, although stiff competition continued for many othe'r"Cabinet-level jobs. Reagan plans to return Friday to California, where he is expected to begin making final choices for his Cabinet. The selections,- however, are not expected to be announced for several days.

"Acid rain is a popular phrase for a very complex subject," Cowling said. The rain becomes acidic because of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which are emitted into the air . by power plants, automobiles and industry : and transferred back to the land through ' rain. . ' ' . The pollutants may travel long distances . before they return to the earth through precipitation. Industry in Tennessee and Kentucky could cause acid rain in North Carolina, Cowling said. . The lowest pH readings (low readings indicate high acidity) have been reported in Charlotte. The Raleigh-Durham area is the second worst area for acid rain in the state, according to Robert Eruck, assistant professor of plant pathology and forestry at NCSU. The average pH at the Raleigh collecting station is about 4.2 Natural rain has a pH of 5.6, but the station has recorded a pH of 3.2 five times. This measurement is equal to the acidity of vinegar. "It's only going to get worse," Bruck said. "Reagan and the rest of the boys are looking at coal." He said a depletion of oil and gas reserves would cause an increase in the i reliance on coal. Coal plants create sulfur dioxide which becomes sulfuric acid when it returns to earth with precipitation, he said. "The most pronounced effects (of acid rain) are on fish," Cowling said. More young fish die because of the increase of hydrogen ions in the water that accompanies high acidity. The older fish are more tolerant of this condition. With no competition, fish grow older, die, "and then finally there aren't any fish," he said. Cowling said there were no know effects of acid rain on humans or plant life. "The potential health effects are being researched," he said. "Not much research has been done in From pag3 1 'North Carolina," 'Rick Linthurst, program coordinator of he Environmental Protection Agency-NCSU Acid Precipitation Program, said. The number of metal ions may build up in drinking . water over a number cf years, Linthurst said. "There's good potential for it to happen here; over a lcr.3 time." Scientists , are unsure of the health effects cf this build up, which has already been reported in Norway for the past nine years, he said. "With regulation, it (acid rain) can be eliminated, but it's likely to be expensive," Linthurst said. Present environmental laws are not adequate to deal with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution. Cowling said. Each state regulates its own pollution levels. "Power plants in one state can cause acid rain in another," said Druce Jordan, chief of the ambient standards branch of the , Environmental Protection Agency. "There is no legislation for dealing with that now.". The Clean: Air Act, which regulates pollution, will be re-evaluated in Congress next year and could reduce that problem, Cowling said. "Certainly there will be reconsiderations of the Clean Air Act because there is sufficient concern within the country (about acid rain)," he said. Cowling saicf he, advocated a permanent measurement system of acid rain and a coordinated program : of research. "The " problem of acid rain is impossible to control in an industrial society," Cowling said. "It is impossible fo( any state to control the quality of its air.", There are 74 acid rain monitoring stations in the United States and six in North Carolina. They are in: Raleigh at Finky Farms, Leiston, Coweeta, Piedmont Research Station (Rowan County), Clinton Crops Research at Clinton and Research Triangle. 1 . ,i '.'ft ."It 1 Li vj lJ iJ J Lj3 lJ u LlUUlJ nnn-7 V J Li J Li .r; j Li Li ;(oi!ii;X huc V- ""3 V- J LJ 1 Li jk L liH LJ .j i . , . . i &--3p- c .
