Jordamu Mta&i expected! to ran In

" With congressional elections out
of the way, state Republican and
Democratic leaders hope to put
strong contenders in the arena for
governor in 1988.
. On the Republican side. Gov. Jim
' Martin has decided to run again, said
' Martin Richmond, a field agent for
the N.C. Republican Party.
In the Democratic camp, Lt. Gov.
Bob Jordan is seriously considering
plans to run for the state's top job,
-although he has not announced his
candidacy. As the party's only victor
in the state's 1984 election, he is the
obvious choice to unseat Martin.
"Everybody has known (that
Jordan will run) for some time," said
B rend a Summers, Jordan's press
secretary. "However, no final deci
sion has been made, and no formal
announcement will be made until
next year."
Jim Van Hecke, chairman of the
N.C. Democratic Party, said the
question of Jordan's running is a
toregone conclusion." "Whereas he's
not announced that he will run yet,
I'd be surprised if he didn't, he said.
Martin also has been reluctant to
formally announce his re-election
plans. He has repeatedly told repor
ters that he will announce his
candidacy "in due time," said Tim
Pittman, Martin's press secretary.
"He certainly thinks hell run, but
he is months or years from . . .
(announcing)," Pittman said.
Summers would not comment on
the likelihood of Martin running for
re-election, saying that the Jordan
staff have no specific plans about the
campaign. Jordan and his staff are
involved in other projects, she said.
Van Hecke said that although
Jordan is the front-runner, "that
doesn't preclude someone else
running."
John Simmons, spokesman for
Attorney General Lacy Thornburg,
said Thornburg has thought about
the race and will announce his
intentions in the spring. He will
either seek the governorship or run
for re-election, Simmons said.
Thornburg's decision will be
"ultimately what is best for the
party," he said.
Democrat Rufus Edmisten, Mar
tin's unsuccessful opponent in the
1984 campaign, said he will not run
for governor. "I feel that it is
someone else's turn," he said.
However, Edmisten said he is
interested in running for lieutenant
governor. He held a meeting of "key
backers" in Charlotte Sunday to
discuss the possibility.
Edmisten said Jordan is the best
bet to move into the governor's
mansion in two years. "He is the
man, he is the head of the party, and
the party is behind him," he said.
"It is not only his turn but his duty
to run."
When asked about the possibility
of Thornburg seeking the party's
nomination, Edmisten said, "1 dont
believe they (Jordan and Thornburg)
would be knocking heads."
Martin is very likely to run again
but might have trouble against a

Democrat, he said. "The trend seems

was "a major blunder" that guaran
tees hostage-taking will continue and
could tip the balance of power in
the Middle East.
Senate Republican leader Robert
Dole of Kansas, told a conference
in Atlanta Sunday that it would be
a "terrible mistake" to cut an arms
deal with Iran. "We all want the
hostages home," Dole said, "but I
don't think we want to deal with
(Ayatollah Ruhollah) Khomeini in
an effort to do that."
But other Republicans defended
the reported administration activi
ties, saying it is desirable to improve
relations with Iran and attempt to
moderate its extremism.
"The wider goal here is to try to
bring about a more moderate group
of leadership in Iran. . . . Wee
made some strides in that regard,"
said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a
member of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, appearing on CBS's
"Face the Nation."
The Spirit of christ has Returned!
"...Lo! He Who is the Ruler is come. Step out from
behind the veil in the name of thy Lord, He Who
layeth low the necks of all men. Proclaim then unto
all mankind the glad-tidings of this mighty, this
glorious Revelation. Verily, He Who is the Spirit of
Truth is come to guide you unto all truth. He
speaketh not as prompted by His own self, but as
bidden by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise." -Revealed by Baha V llah

Former Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger, appearing with Lugar,
said improving relations with Iran
in general is desirable. But he added:
"When it degenerated or when it
developed into an arms trade for
hostages, I have the gravest doubt.
. . . To negotiate for hostages makes
it more likely that other hostages are
going to be taken.
But Byrd, who is expected to be
Senate majority leader next year,
told interviewers on NBC's "Meet
the Press" that he had repeatedly
requested a briefing without success.
And other Democrats, including
Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia, Sen.
Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Rep.
Richard Gephardt of Missouri, said
they still had not received any
information.
"It would appear the White House
is trying to do a back door way to
get away from any congressional
oversight," Leahy said.
"In an effort to cut Congress out,
they also have cut out the CIA, the
Joint Chiefs (of Staff), the State
Department, the Defense Depart
ment. And if so, who is making the
decisions?" asked Nunn, a military
expert who will head the Armed
Services Committee next year.
"Congress is going to be asking
a lot of questions," Nunn said on
the Brinkley program. "The news
paper reports and they have not
been denied indicate the Reagan
adminisration is not standing tall on
this one."
Khomeini's ailing health
spurs power struggle in Iran
From Associated Press reports
NICOSIA, Cyprus Ayatol
lah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's
ailing 86-year-old spiritual leader,
said Sunday his death would not
end the country's Islamic revolu
tion. He apparently was trying to
defuse a power struggle within the
clergy-led regime.
"Our enemies must understand
that the Islamic Republic . . . has
been stabilized and is not depend
ent on any person, but on the
people and the armed forces,"
Khomeini said in a speech to
military men at his residence in
Jamaran, north of Tehran.
The speech was carried by
Tehran radio and was monitored
in Nicosia.
Widespread reports said Kho
meini, who had a heart attack in
1980, recently suffered one or two
more attacks. Rumors that his
health is declining are common,
but this time, people in power
seem to be taking the reports
seriously.
Israeli to stand trial
JERUSALEM Israel
revealed Sunday that Mdrdechai
Vanunu, a former nuclear tech
nician, is in detention and will be
tried for allegedly leaking state
atomic secrets. But it denied that
secret agents kidnapped Vanunu
in England to bring him to justice.
The brief government commu
nique ended weeks of speculation
about Vanunu's whereabouts. He
disappeared in London nearly six
weeks ago, after the Sunday
Times of London published pho
tographs and information he
reportedly supplied about an
Israeli nuclear weapons plant.
A senior government official
Wqwg in Dric?
said the 32-year-old Israeli could
be tried for treason, a crime
punishable by death.
Cigarette ad ban rejected
NEW YORK Most Amer
icans do not believe cigarette
advertising should be banned,
although they favor broad restric
tions on smoking, according to
poll results issued Sunday by
three anti-smoking groups.
These findings contradict a
recent American Medical Asso
ciation survey in which 64 percent
of the respondents' favored a
cigarette advertising ban.
In the new poll, conducted for
the American Lung Association,
62 percent of those questioned
said cigarette ads should be
permitted in magazines and
newspapers.
Police officer quells fire
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.
A police officer on his way to
direct traffic at one burning house
spotted another in flames and led
four people to safety before
controlling the blaze with a
garden hose, authorities said.
Ty Montoya, 23, kicked
opened the door of the house
early Friday and dragged 72-year-old
Gabriel Viegas outside. Mon
toya, who has been on the force
two years, went back inside twice
more to lead three other residents
outside.
Thanks to Montoya's efforts,
"the fire never really took hold,"
said fire department Capt. Jess
Campos.
