Kissinger warns of U.S. military action JERUSALEM (AP) Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said Sunday American military action against Iran is possible if the hostages are tried as spies as Iranian authorities have threatened. Kissinger was quoted by the newspaper Maariv as telling Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir “if the situation in Iran worsens and the hostages are put on trial, there is room for military action.” Asked about the quote later, Kissinger declined to repeat it but said. “It is outrageous to have hostages held for 15 months. It would be unacceptable to the American people if they were tried.” Kissinger said he agreed with the Carter administration’s warning that it would take “a very grave view” of any trial. “In diplomatic language,” he said, “that has certain implications,” but did not elaborate. Kissinger, who is on a factfinding mission to the Middle East for the incoming administration of President-elect Ronald Reagan, spoke to reporters after spending almost an hour with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

Cabinet

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new Congress with more Republicans and more conservatives is opening shop with plans to give Ronald Reagan a head start on installing his government once he assumes the presidency. Senate committees scheduled a week of hearings on the pres-ident-elect’s Cabinet nominations in hopes the Senate can vote on confirmation on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. Until then, Congress has no legislating to do. The Senate, controlled by Republicans for the first time since 1955, and the House, still led by Democrats, scheduled only the swearing-in of members and ceremonial proceedings

the militants said they had transferred their 49 prisoners to other cities. But there was speculation in Washington that they never left the embassy. The head of Iran’s hostage negotiating team, Behzad Navabi, said on Dec. 21 the hostages had been transferred recently to “very beautiful hotels provided with complete services.” The other 49 hostages were reported reunited for Christmas services, but it was not known if they remained together afterwards.

U.S. officials in Washington said they had no confirmation of Azizi’s report that the government had taken control of the hostages. But White House spokesman Jody Powell said the reported transfer of the three Americans from the Foreign Ministry “does cause us some concern.” He said they “had been under somewhat more favorable conditions both in terms of communication with them and in terms of the amenities which they enjoyed. ..” There was speculation Iran was gathering the hostages in preparation either to release them or to try them as spies, something Iranian officials have threatened to do if the United States failed to meet its demands.

Considerable controversy, urrounds the selections of retired Gen. Alexander M. Haig Jr. for secretary of state and of Colorado lawyer James G. Walt for interior secretary. Haig, who now heads United Technologies Corp., will be questioned by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on his role as White House chief of staff during the closing days of the Nixon administration. Some senators also have questioned the wisdom of having a military man running the State De-

Boycott at Statehouse ?

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - There could be a lot of empty seats when the Indiana General Assembly opens this Wednesday if some Indiana Democrats go ahead with a plan to boycott the House of Representatives to protest the ouster of two of their party’s representatives. A Republican-controlled committee voted Dec. 17 that Democrats David L. Butts of Terre Haute and Jules B. Taylor of Gary, be barred because

White House press secretary Jody Powell said Sunday that President Carter will authorize the National Archives to search for specific presidential tape recordings and documents sought by Senate Democrats for use in the Haig hearings. But two Republican senators said Sunday Watergate should not play a major role in Haig’s confirmation. “The most crucial part of the hearings is where he wants to go ... how he would conduct the office of secretary of state,” said Sen. Charles Mathias of Maryland. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, ap-

Kentucky files suit over alleged Hoosier air pollution

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) - Pollution from a coal-burning power plant in southern Indiana is blowing across the Ohio River into Kentucky, according to a suit filed by Kentucky officials, who say the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency should stop the immigrant pollution. The suit, believed to be the first of its kind filed by a local environmental agency under the federal Clean Air Act, asks that the EPA be required to enforce 1977 amendments to the clean air law. Bradley E. Dillon, an attorney for the Air Pollution Control District of Jefferson County, says the suit charges that the pollution is coming from Public

A PSI spokesman said the company would not comment until it had a chance to review the suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court. But the spokesman denied charges that the plant is contributing to illegal levels of pollutants in Jefferson County.

The dispute with the EPA began in May 1979, when local pollution officials asked the EPA to hold a hearing on the Kentucky-Indiana pollution matter. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA is supposed to issue its finding within 60 days after a petition is received and a hearing is held. After a hearing April 17, no decision was reached. On Ocf. 21, the local agency told the EPA it would sue if no decision was issued.
