McNamara came away (laser)
beaming.
The musical field production is
called "The Beam, the Banjo and
’he Beat,” featuring studkvltke pro-
ductions invoMnr riverboat days
al) the way up through disco.
McNamara said.
“As far as we could tell, only the
Russians were involved in the
coup." he said. "Afghan soldiers ei-
ther did not fight or did so to re-
pulse the Soviets.”
“You're using trusties on the
* ’ farm, and they have to put this stuff
in the tractor tires. It's something
that has to be there."
Iranians join
foes of Israel
A high wind blowing the cloud
away wouldn't short-circuit the
show. McNamara said. We can
project on any surface, including
the field.
"And we'll be going from scene to
scene with a laser interlude. I had
seen this laser stuff once and was
very intrigued by it.
"Last year, after I went to the
NCAA convention in San Francisco,
I stopped back by Caesar's Palace
(in Las Vegas) and caught the Ann-
Margret show The Lasarium' peo-
ple were putting it on and it was ab-
solutely fascinating
"Lasers have a system of scann-
ing and their light is so hot that
they'll spell out Orange Bowl in
white letters on the green field. “
Tuesday's show has been in the
planning stage for a full year. But.
McNamara added. "We had worked
on some of this for about two years
prior to that. We hadn't reached the
point where it was time to do that
kind of show
spectacle will turn out all right goes
without saying It always does This
year there will be the usual “field
production along with what is
billed as a full-power, big laser
beam show
One West European diplomat told
one of the first Western reporters to
reach Kabul since the coup that the
latest government change apparent-
ly was carried out entirely by the
Soviets.
The militants who overran the
embassy Nov 4 demanded the re-
turn of the deposed shah. Moham-
mad Reza Pahlavi, while he was re-
ceiving medical care in New York.
He has since gone to Panama
"Why is the es-shah given protec-
tion and sanctuary tn the United
Staten of America*" asked a hos-
tage identified as Jerry Plotkin, a
businessman from Sherman Oaks,
Calif.
"Now we don't think NBC will
have any trouble picking up the im-
ages. We re gonna build a cloud out
here with an airplane so our air will
be a little bit polluted with a slight
haze.
" Hopefully, you won't even see it.
But the real laser image comes
from a reflection off light, just like
in the old movie theaters when you
used to see that beam of light be-
cause it was reflecting off the
smoke and dust "
"We are sorry to admit that so far
our government has not given up
the shah, but instead made us stay
here as hostages.' said a hostage
who identified himself as Kevin Her
mewing. 1*. a Manne guard at the
embassy
President Mohammad Daoud The
insurgents are said to control about
half the country by day and more by
night, and the coup last week was
apparently the prelude to a Soviet
campaign to end the rebellion.
A 1978 coup installed Nur Moham-
mad Taraki as president, and he
lasted 17 months. He was killed dur-
ing a palace coup last September
led by his prime minister, Hafizul-
lah Amin. After the 3%-hour coup
last Thursday night, still another
Marxist. Brabak Karma 1, returned
from exile in Czechoslovakia to be-
come president, and Radio Kabul
an no i/nced that Amin had been exe-
cuted.
nounced that it asked the Soviet Un-
ion for help in dealing with the ene-
mies of the "socialist revolution “
Pravda, the Soviet Communist Par-
ty newspaper, said the Soviet forces
were sent to counter "unlimited
backing" given the Moslem rebels
by the United States. China and
Egypt. It said they would be with-
drawn when they were no longer
needed.
The antifreeze is kept locked off
the prison grounds, but prison offi-
cials say they are fighting more
-■than just a security problem —
they're fighting men s minds
'When I beard about it. I thought.
Well, they'll never learn,' " Sunder
land said But the warden said he
does not expect renewed attempts
at New Year s Eve revelry tonight.
“I think this will probably discon-
tinue anything they might have had
planned Im sure they won t, and
they probably won’t for a few years
here
The Afghan government in a
broadcast communique Sunday
night claimed there was "complete
peace and calm in the country, and
the armed forces are in full con-
trol."
DAMASCUS (AP) -
Fifty Iranians have ar-
rived in Syria, swelling
the number of Iranian
volunteers waiting to
join the Palestinian
guerrilla war against
Israel to over 300,
sources said.

Ghotbudeh said b* was coming an *
fact finder, not a negotiator.
“We will inform Mm of onr view*
on America and the position of ths
UAA. in Iran." Ghothzadeh told
Pan, the official Iranian news agen-
cy “Waldheim is coming to Iran in
order to gather informatkm and to
learn of the nature of th* crisis. The
question of negotiations with him is
not being raised.”
-We do not accept Waldheim as a
mediator." said a spokesman for the
mililknts holding the Americans In
the UA Embassy since Nov. 4. “We
will not negotiate with anybody on
th^hostages
"We are holding the same stance
we have had since the takeover and
we will only release the hostages
when the deposed shah is extredit
ed. __________ t |
"Waldheim is not trustworthy. He
has proved that he is in the service
of the superpowers."
The militants left open the possi-
bility they would meet with Wal-
dheim. but insisted they will not al-
low him to see the captives.
Diplomatic sources said Wal-
dheim had reason to believe be
would meet with Ayatollah Ruhollah I
Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian
revolution. But a spokesman for
Khomeini's ruling Revolutionary
Council said Waldheim "has not I
been invited by the Revolutionary I
Council nor the Foreign Ministry I
nor any government official. When I
the secretary-general comes to this I
country, he will certainly meet I
some officials. Who. when and how I
has not been decided.”
