holding out for no increase

it announced las! week.

. But Libya, saying the
industrialized countries can
pay whatever they are
charged, has boosted its
price to $30 a barre) and

suggested that the price for
Saudi crude, the benctimark
for OPEC prices, should go
as high as $34,

OPEC's prices already are
about 100 per cent higher

than they were a year ago,
and last week's $6-a-barrel
increase in the price of Saudi
crude lifts OPEC's base
price by almost 80 per cent
since Jan. L.

But Algerian Oi] Minister -
Belkacem Nabi defended the
cartel's steady price In-

NEWS BRIEFS

TEHRAN (AP) — A
renewal of hostilities bel-
ween Iran and Iraq appears
to be a matter of smali-scale
border attacks and harsh
words so far.

Foreign Minister Sadegh
Ghotbzadeh acknowledged
in a radio interview Monday
that he received a note from
ihe Iraqi gavernment
‘demanding the release of 16
Iraqi teachers arrested last
month in the southern city of

-Khorramshahr on charges of

posseasing weapons and
explosives. ;
Iraq threatened to with-
draw all its citizens from
Iran, including embassy
personnel, if the teachers

of the 16 have been freed and
the other two are military
officers ‘masquerading as
teachers."

Scattered clashes have
been reported by the iranian
media since Friday when
Tehran Radio reported Iraqi
forces attacked an Iranian
border post but quickly with-
drew. An Iraqi official who
asked not to be identified
said the radio report of the
Iraqi attack was “fabricated
and untrue.”

Tehran newspaper con-
sidered closest to Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, sald
