In support rl. the revolutionary regime's contention that the U.S. Embassy
was a "spy nest," a former officer rl the shah's secret pollee, SAY AK, told a
Tehran news conference that the CIA and SA VAK jointly spied on foreign
missions during the shah's reign.
The Revolutionary Council also blamed the CIA and SAV -AK for the
aSBaosination Tuesday of one rl. Khcmeini's close associates, Hojatoleslam
MobaDUlllld Mrl.aleh. An anOI\Yillous caner told the Iranian news agency an
organization called FM Militant was responsible, but the group had not been
heard rl before and meet observers believed the call was a hoax.
The funeral procession for Mrl.ateh was expected to become the occasion
for a mass protest in front of the U.S. Embassy today.
Meanwhile, Panamanian troops used tear gas to disperse about 300 leftists
who attacked the U.S. Embassy ln Panama City to demonstrate their disapproval of the shah being given refuge in Panama. The mob lroke an embassy window, hauled down the U.S. flag and shredded it in the street.
The demonstrators also stoned Panamanian government cal'!l, set one
afire, broke windows at the state lottery office and painted anti~h slogans

No price agreement reached
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP ) - After three days of deadlock, the
Organizatioo of Petroleum Ex·
porting Countries ends its winter
meeting today without an
agreement on new prices for crude
oil.
r\ . K . Hart, chairman of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Co.,
said the closing session this mOI'Illng
might set loose limits within which
each of the 13 coWltries could fix its
own prices. But any upper limit
would not be observed for long d a
hard winter in Europe and the
United States or a cut in production
by a major producer resulted ln as
big increase in the demand for oil.
!I limits were set, the bottom hasic
price wu expected to be $24 a

barrel, ~ above OPEC's previous
minimum set I~ June and the price
Saudi Arabia said it would charge
for the first q uarter of 1980.
The upper limit was expected to be
well above S30, the present
rnBlirnum base price , which Libya
is charging. The Libyans urged a
minimun base price of $3-4 ror a 42galloo barrel. But any ceil ing will be
junked, just as the $23.50 top se t in
June was, if the demand for oil exceeds the supply or buyers begin anticipating shortages.
The meeting's host, Energy
Minister Hwnberto Calderoo of
Venezuela, said OPEC would

night after more than 12 hours of
wrangling.
Saudi Arabia and the ~r price
moderates - Venezuela, the United
Arab Emirates and Qatar -were
hoping a cornbinatioo of ample supplies of oil and conservation by the
industrial nations would force the
hawks to lower their prices.
Some observers thought it more
likely that the hard-linen would
reduce production, as Libya has said
it would. But Saudi Arabia, the cartel's biggest producer, said it would
cootinue to produce 9.5 miDioo
barrels a day, a million more than it
was producing a year ago, and this
would tend w olfset cuts by some rl

Such aid bll9 been outrunning Inflation by Increasing at an average
rate of about 16 percent for the past
four years.
The agency projects an increue In
federal aid to an state and local
governments for fl.scal1979 over 19'18
rl $4.2 billion, up 5.4 percent over
1978, and !be smallest Increase since
1974.
The amount of federal aid to all
state and local governments this
year ill estimated at tll2.1 bllllon, up
from •77.9 billion in 1978. The 111110
estimate Is tll2.9 billion. By comparison, the same aid In 11169 totaled
$3).3 blWon.
The agency figures refer only to
federal ezpendltures to state and
local governmenta and do not cover
federal grants to Individual.!! or
private agencies.
H tbe commlnlon 's yardstick is
applied to Ohio, It will mean a
growth In federal aid to governmenta here by nearly $135 mlllioo
this year, up from f2.9 blWon in 1978
to $3 bllllon In 1979.
By comparison, Ohio's state
govenunent budget Is about $8.75
billion a year, with federal aid included In that figure.
The last Ume federal aid to governments in Ohio dropped below ~
billion was In 1970. It came to $888.5
million that year. In 1971, It jumped
to $1 billion, then advanced •192
mlDioo in 1972 and another $283
million In 1973.
The total rl federal aid to Ohio
govenunents reached Sl.B billion in
1974 but increased by only $28
mlllioo in 1975.
By 19n, that form rl federal aid
bad reached 12.5 billion in Ohio,

while nationally It totaled $88.4
billim.
Sune of the more Clllltly federal
aid programs In Ohio during 1978 Include child nubition, Cllllting t93
milDon; public works programs,
$115.6 milllm; wastewater treatment facilities, UOO million;
elementary and secondary
educatim, ..., mlllion; Medicaid,
$359 mllllon; Social Security maintenance assistance, $256 million;
low-rent public housing, $111
million; highway trust fund, $100
million, and general revenue
sharing, $274milllon.
There were no expenditures In
Ohio for Dne federal Jli'CI8I'IIID8 and
$19 million wu deducted from the
state's total aid u a refund fnlm
previous years frr the Occupational
Safety ansd Health Administration.

Today in history
Today ill Thursday, Dec. 20, the
354th day ol. 1979. There are eleven
days left In tbe year.
Today's highlight In history:
In 1813, the United States
establlabed Its first Internal revenue
!}'Stem, to ralae money for !be
government.
()) this date :
In 1a:l3, a flag -raising ceremony in
New Orleans marked the consummation of the Louisiana Purcbaae, u the territory was transferred from France to the United
States.
In 1869, South Carolina became the
fin! state toaecede from the Unioo.
In 1922, 14 republics of Russia formed the Unim of Soviet Socialist
RepubUcs.
In 1972, Northern Ireland experienced one rllts bloodiest days :
gunmen killed eight men and wounded five otben.
In 1976, Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzbak Rabin resigned after losing
his government's slim margin of
parliamentary seats.

WASHINGTON (AP) -The ''windfall prol.lts" tax working Its way
tbrougb Congress Is a good example
ol bow a simple Idea can be turned
Into a mind-boggling law.
The Idea : tax away a portion of
each new lncreaae In domesilc crude
oU prices so the oil Industry will rd
profit unduly from President Carter's decillion to phase out price con·

trois.

dicate housing starts are down 211
percent from November of last year.
On top of that, the National
Association rl Realloni reported
sales of previously occupied singlefamily homes feU 12 percent In
November to an annual rate of 3.55
mUiim units.
''Tbls ill the sball"'st month-tomonth drop In home sales In the 12
years we have monitored such activity," the realtors ' group said in a
statement.
Home builders attached a
similarly pessimistic interpretation
to the housing start figures .
'1t means we are in a recession/'
said Michael Sumlchrast, chief
economist for the National
Association of Home Builders. "It's
going to spread out into every activity of the economy. I don't think
we are going to see much Improvement until a year from now or
the first half of 1981."
Many analysts are predicting that
housing construction will faD to 1. 7
million units or lower this year from
last year's 2 million level. Estimates
ror next year range from 1,1 mllllon
units to about I.4 mllllon.
Construction last feU to those
levels in 1974 and 1975, when the
economy was in a recession, Starts
were about 1.3 million In 1974 and 1.2
million In 1975.
Both the drop In housing starts and
!be slwnp In the resale market are

viewed as a predictable reaction to
tight-money policies Instituted In October by the Federal Reserve Board.
Hecord-hlgh interest rates and a
shortage rlloan funds since the central bank action have discouraged
corporate and consumer borrowing,
notably for housing.
The If percent drop In November
bouslng starts followed an a.2 per- '
cent decline In housing starts In October.
In reporting tOOie figures, the
Commerce Department also said the
nwnber ol buDding pennlts illaued an Indicator of future housing activity - feU 29 percent In November
to its lowest level in more than three

years.

The result: legilllation that Imposed a balfo(!ozen different lues by
separating U.S. crude oil Into a
dazen categories depending on when
it wu discovered and where and by
whom It Is produced.
Not all !be complexities can be
blamed on Congress or bureaucra Is;
it seems that tax simplification and
oil just don't mix.
A conference committee of 15
House members and 11 senators
were to begin tackling some of th011e
COO!plexlties this afternoon. That
panel must rind a compromlae between the Senate's $178 blWoo bill
and the 1277 zillion version passed by
the House. There are growing doubt&amp;
the commlttee can complete action
on the bill this year.
Congressiooal experts concede
their estimates of what !be bill will
bring In fnlm 19Sl through 1990 could
be off by Ill milCh 8ll '100 blWon,
mainly because the figures are so
dependent on outside forces.
They assume the average price of
U.S. crude oil freed from cootrols
will be about $30 a barrel, and that
the figure will Increase every year
by the amount rllnflatim plus 2 percent. H lnflatioo In 1fill ill 10 percent,
that $30 will becune $33.60 a year
framnow.
The tax, Incidentally, would not
end in 1990. The 1980-1990 figures are
generally cited only because Carter's orlglnal energy program
covered that term. The Senate tax
probably would run through !be late
1990s and IIIOBt ol !be House version
would end In 1990. Again, it depends
oo bow quickly oil prices rise.
The average price of uncontroned
U.S. oil grows each time the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ralaes the world
price. The average OPEC price bll9
jumped 60 percent In 1979. A
repetition ol that in 19111 could
perhaps double the me ol the wind·
falltax .

CINCINN A11 (AP J - Three
members ol the Cincinnati Bengal
coaching staff who were fired Monday along with head coach Homer
Rice may still be welcome by
management here.
The three - offensive backfield
coach George Sefcik, rlfenslve line
coach Mike McCormack and special
teams coach Frank Gans:z - have
not been made available to other
teams by the Bengals.
Gansz said he's already received a
coaching offer, but he Is still under

have to have the approval of the
Bengals.

Three league games and a ROOconference tilt are scheduled this
weekend in the Southern VaUey
Athletic Conference.
Friday's actioo finds leagueleading Southern visiting Kyger
Creek; North Gallia also tied for the
league lead goes to Southwestern
and Hannan Trace plays at Eastern.
Satw-day night , Kyger Creek is at
HaiUIBn, W.Va .
Southern and North Gallia con tinue to lead the SVAC with U
records . Overall,the Tornadoes own
a 3-l mark while North Gallla bll9 a
4-Jslate.
Both schools' reserve teams pace
the cooference reserve standings
with 2.0 records.
Coach Carl Wolfe's Tornadoes will
try to bounce back from a fiS.44 loss
to Southeastern of Ross County
while Kyger Creek was edged
Tuesday night, 56-46 at Wabarna.
In losing, Coach Keith Carter's
Bobcats played perhaps their best
game this season.
KCHS, a big loser to Eastern a
week ago, UBed a slow deliberate
disciplined offense while working frr
the good shot only against the White
Falcons. It apparently was effective
since the Bobcats hit 48 percent from
the floor, their best shooting percentage this year.
Eastern, winners of their last two
outing:l over Kyger Creek and
Miller, seeks to even Its season
record at :h'l against the wlnleSB
Hannan Trace Wildcats.
Although, Hannan Trace was
beaten last Friday at North Gallla,
Coach Donnie Saunders'five showed
loet.s of determination. The Wildcats' last minute comeback fell
short by just a buket.
At Southwestern, Coach Wayne
Bergdoll's Highlanders will be out to
snap a three game losing streak
against Coach Ted Lehew's high
flying Pirates.

Louisville stops OSU
LOUISVILLE , Ky. (AP I Louisville Coach Denny Crum says
that college basketball is a game of
spurts.
Cnun's 11th-ranked Cardinals
proved that point Wednesday night
when LoulsviiJe used a pair of wellplaced runs In upsetting secondranked Ohio State 75~ In a college
basketball showdown played befo re
a howling capacity crowd at
Loolsville's Freedom Hall.
LouiwU.le UBed a 13~ streak In the
first half to overcome a 10-point Ohio
. State lead. When Ohio State had batlied within 59-67 with 3: 21 left to
play, Louisville ran off 12 unanswered points to hand the Buckeye.
their first defeat of the season after
five vicWrles.
Darrell Griffith scored eight of his
19 polnta In the final three minute. to
. help Lou!!ville run its record to S.O.

Griffith hit six of his points during
the final Louisville run and one of his
nine assists set up a layup by Roger
Burkman.
Ohio State Coach Eldon Mlller
said that the full-eourt pressure employed by Louisville most of the
game wa. a telling factor.
"We started shooting too quickly
again.•! the press, " Miller said. "We
got out of our set paltem and we also
got a litlle careless with our
passe. ...
Noted Crum : '1 think that's a
charac-teristic of the press."
Crum said the press may also
have been a reason that Miller benched three of his starters, including
6-10 freshman forward Clark
Kellogg and 6-8 forward Jim Smith
in the first half. Louisville roared into the lead when that group went to
the sidelines.

After praising his team's defensive play, Badger pointed out, ''We
have practiced almost dally the
millsed free throw play. We had
planned to go to (David) Kennedy,
our quickest man, and he got it to
Bobby Austin. "
In another nail-biter, AllAmerican Fred Graham pumped In
25 points to pace the Ashland Eagles
to an upset victory over previously
unbeaten Wittenberg.
Ashland, improving Its season
record to 3-6, registered its third
straight win . The Tigers, corning Into the game ranked second in the

''I knew it was going to be a tough
game and when you run up and down

De!-ek Smith added 18 points for
Louisville, guard Jerry Eaves had 11
and center Rodney McCray 10.
Kelvin Ransey, scor1ng In double
figures for his 69th COMeCUtiw
game, paced Ohio State with 21 points while Herb Wllllam.s added 20.
Louiaville outrebounded the taller
Buckeyes~ whlle hitting 56.9 percent of its shots against a defense
that had been allowing only 33 percent field goal efficiency. Ohio State
hit 51 percent frcm the field.
A 35-loot jwnp shot at the final
buzzer by Bobby Austin Ufted the
Cincinnati Bearcats to a 61-60 noncooference victory over the Pittsburgli'Panthers.
'1t was quite a finish," said Bearcat Coach Ed Badger of the Wednesday night victory. "To win a
game like that takes a whole lot of
luck."
Panther Sam Clancy was fouled

tied 5&amp;-ell, but he sank only one of his
two free throws to put PIWburgh

UMW has candlelight program Tuesday evening
"If We Had Been In Bethlehem "
was the topic d an impressive
candlelight ..-ogram presented by
Mrs. Ann Watson at the Tuesday

night meeting of the United
Methodlat W&lt;men of the F&lt;n8! Run
Church.
Each member held a Ullhted can-

spouse.

DEAR DR . BLAKER
Everything about divorce is painful.
But lately I have run up agalnBt a
problem I never expected and don •t
know how to handle.
For several years my ex-hWiband
and I were engaged In a kind of ~n
warfare. But all that stopped last
mooth when we decided to put the
past behind us and cooperate for the
sake of the chlldren.
In doing so, we began to realize
that we still have fond, even erotic,
feelings toward one another.
Last week Eric, oor IG-year~ld
saw my • 'a: " give me a kias on
cheek when dropping off the
chlldren after a trip to the zoo.
Immediately Eric asked, "Are
you and Daddy geUing back
together again? '' He seemed confwo-

u.; ··

ed.

Does that mean my "ex " and I
can't exp..- any affection in front
d the chlldren? I don't want to get
their hopes up.
DEAR READER - WeU, are you
two getting .back together? I'm a titlie confused, too.
Eric Is uklng the only relevant
questioo here. I'm sure It wasn't
based only on the kiss.
What aboot that sudden thaw In
relations between yw and your "ex"
last month? Dld you offer some explanatioo to the chlldren• Or did you
leave them to come to their own conclusions?
H you and your former husband
have no lntentioo d reconciling, explain that to the children. They will
be able to undentand and accept the
new friendliness in yoor relaUoDship.

In fact, such a caring relationship
makes it easier for chlldren to love
both father and mother without feeling tht ' •'-e to hide their feelingll
for 011€ r
.t frem the other. That
ellmlnates games like, "If you really
loved Mommy, you wouldn't enjoy
going out with Daddy so much "
As for your relationship with your
"ex," remember thatit 's natural for
good f~ to resurface oo~ you
flniah punlah1ng each other for the
hurts of yesterday. Th1a happen!
with most divorced couples.
Holly Brown, aenlor therapist at
the Remarr1a11e Conaultation Service of the Jewish Board of Family
and Children's Servicea In New Yortt
City, says, ''If an individual Is
honest, he or she has to admit that
IDDI!t people will have feeling~~ of attraction for their ex~ for
their entire Uvea."
While the children will be able to
understand that these positive feellngll exist wlthoul hoping for a reconciliation to the exclusioo d other,
more immediate concerns, they wiD

Wben chlldren pick up on these
feelings, it becomes almost ilrlpoesible for them to belleve the divorce is
final. That prevents them from
reinvesting their energies In other,
more relevant problems of dally life.
In short, they are left hanging.
Your children need to know where
YOU and your "ex" sland with each
other so they can figure out where
they stand with both of you .

changes can you expect In your sex

'WAITING GAME'
IS NOT A GIRL'SWfTODAY
DEAR HELEN AND SUE
I'm 15 and depressed . My
boyfriend is out..- town for 10 weeks.
He gave me his address and phone
number. He writes and calis, but I'd
like to telephone him about once a
week too . (I can afford it. 1
My parents think this is bad manners : a gir 1 should never call a boy,
or even answer a letter right away
because it makes her seem too
" eager'' We like each other a lot.
Who 's right?- D. W.
DEAR D.:
Your parents were right for their
time, but you're right for yours. It 's
okay for girls w take the initiative in
this equal-rights world .- HELEN
NOTE FROM SUE: And to assume
some of the long-&lt;listance telephone
expense also.

DEAR RAP :
One day whe n I was walking horne
from town , a guy I'm met several
times stopped and gave me a ride.
He was fun and pleasant and asked
me to meet him for lunch next day . I
said " Maybe," meaning to get out of
it, but then I got thinking, " Why
n&lt;('" I've got a great sense of
curiosity and adventure.
You see, he 's black, I'm white.
He was a perfect genUeman, very
considerate ; and said he just wanted
w he friends . (I told him I have a
boyfriend.)
Since then we keep running inw
each other. He never llsk.'! me out,
tut we haw lunch or coffee, or just
talk . He's easy to talk
and helps
me sort things out .
But I'm confused : don't know
whether he's persistent or it's just
chance we meet so much. I don't
want whurt his feelings - or assume
what may not even be there- but my
father is very pre judiced, and I think
I'm getting inw what might be a big
hassle .
I've tried to nicely tell Jim this,
but he doesn't seem w hear. FEELJNG GUILTY OVE R FEEL·
lNG EMBARRASSED
DEARI'GOFE :
Isn't it sad : if you and Jim were
both white, you'd call this n&lt;Hrtrings
friendship great : every woman
needs a man she can talk w without
feeling pressured .
But the race thing makes you
uneasy, especially since your father
would blow a fuse if he saw you
together.
So why not level with everyone:
tell your dad about Jino. TeD Jim
about your dad. Discuss prejudice
openly . And then, make a choice
based on friendship, not color. It's
the only wav yot: 'li ever stop feeling

DENVER (API UMW
President Sam Church may have a
hangover today. If so, it will be a
happy hangover.
Asked Wednesday how he planned
to celebrate the end of the wrion's
constitutional convention, Church
replied: "I'D probably go out and lay
one on. Don't print that, though. "
Church met with reporters after
gaveling the 10-day convention to a
clooe. His mood was jubilant.
"Great !" he exclaimed, when
asked how he felt about the convention. "Jwrt super! "
"The support was there from start
to rinlsh" he said. "We had our ups
and downs bull got some good mandates from the delegates and I think
we're gonna put this thing back
wgether."
Chur c h succeeded former
president Arnold Miller a month
ago, c reating a vacancy in the office
of vice presi dent. He said he had
narrowed his choice down to about
rive candidates but would not make
his fin al decision until early next
year.
·'I've got a lot of soul-&lt;!earching to
do," he said. " At this point I really
and truly haven 't decided on a vice
president yet."
One of the first things he plaM to
do after returning to Washington,
D.C., is to meet with Lane Kirkland,
the new head d the AFLQO.
" This is just a meeting to get
acquainted," be said.
Last week, when asked a bout
rumors of a possible merger between the two labor groups, Church
said, " I'm not thinking about
merging with anybody ."
What he is thinking about, he said,
is organizing, especially in the West,
where the UMW has had little sue-

Khomeini was quoted by the state

United States showing opposition to
American military action in Iran
"means they (the Americans) bave
come to their senses realizing that
even if the 50 spies are kllled -and
nobody intends to do thi:l - America
will not want to raze several countries , including itself, to the

In Washington, U.S. officials who
declined to be named said the Carter

on Iran in a bid to gain the release of
the hostages. The informants said
there was a 5(Hi() chance the administration 's decision could be an noonced today .

said in an interview in Qom with the

The statement was a reiteration of
one Khalkhali made last week to The

Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran since Nov , 4.
Khalkhall, who as chief prosecutor

" We are following Imam
(Ayatollah Ruhollah) Khomeini and
the Iranian people," a student
spokesman told The ABsociated

He said the student position was
that because the desposed shah went

November consumer price index up one percent
WASHINGTON (AP) The
prices Americans pay for goods and
services r&lt;l!W! I percent In Novem·
ber, pushing the Consumer Price Index to more than double the level it
was a decade ago, the govenunent
reported today.
The November Increase, the same
as that in October, marked the lith
consecutive month with an increase
of about I percent, the Labor Department said.
Prices rase by 1.1 percent in May,
1 percent in both June and July and
1.1 percent in hoth August and September .
If prices rise as much in December, the nation will end 1979 with
prices 13 percent higher than they
were at the start of the year. That
would be the worst inflation since
1946, when World War II price controls were lifted .
"The same things that are kicking
the index now will be pushing it in
December, too," said Labor Depart ment economist Patrick Jackman .
"It won' edge off for a while ."

Rutland man given
jail term ThurscbJy
Paul R. Steinmetz, 41, Rutland,
appearing In common pleas cow1
Thursday, entered a voluntary plea
of guilty to a charge of aggravated
assault.
Steirunetz was indicted by the Sep·
tember tenn of the grand jury . The
charges stemmed from an incident
in May d thi:l year in which it was
alleged that Steirunetz shot another
man, Wllbur Sims, Rt. 4, Pomeroy .
Aggravated assault is a fourth
degree felony carrying a maximum
penalty of two to five years in a
proper penal Institution and a fine of
not more than $2,500.
Steinmetz W'IS sentenced to a term
of not les• that six months nor more
than five years by Judge Robert
Buck who ;&gt;resided in the absence of
Judge John C. Bacon. Proserutor
Fred W. Crow III represented the
Stater~ Ohio.

•

More than haU the increase iast
month was blamed on sharply
higher hoiLSing costs, Jackman said .
Mortgage interest rates and home
prices have risen sharply since Oct.
6, when the Federal Reserve Board
moved to tighten credit.
AI the same time, gasoline and
fuel oil prices r011e more moderately
in November than in recent months,
the report showed.
The Labor Department also reported today that workers ' average earnings de&lt;.Teased 0.2 percent from
October to November because in flation outpaced hourly earnings
The earnings a married worker
with three dependents had left to
spend after taxes fell 0.3 percent in
November and were down 5.1 percent from November !978.
The fact that prices consumers
are paying have more than doubled
during the 1970s could be seen in the
Consumer Price Index figure, which
is a measure of what has happened
to the prices of a fixed "marketbasket" of goods and services .
The index last month stood at
227.5, more than 100 percent ahove
the 112.9level of December 1969.
In dollsr terTTlS, this means that
Americans last month were paying
$227.50 for goods that cost them
$112.90 at the end of 1969, or $100 in
1967, the index's base year .

The preVIous doubling of pnces
took 24 years, from 1945 to 1969. This
time, it took just 10 years . Prices
have not doubled that fast since the
decade of 1910-1920. when World War
I caused widespread shortages of
goods.
Energy problems have been
largely responsible for the rapid
price rises of the "7!\s . Inflation
began to rise raptdly after the oil
embargo of 1973·74. Higher crude oil
prices set by the Orgamzatlon of
Petroleum Exporting Countries
helped account for a blistering 12 .2
percent inflation rate in 1974 .
This year 's round of OPEC
decisions - coming on top of stubbornly high food and housing costs could lead to a record 13 percent
vearly increase , analysl5 say . Qc .

tober pnces rose I percent from the
preceding month, the lOth straight
month with an increase of that stze
or larger.
Independent pricing dect.sJOns by
OPEC members in the wake of this
week's meeting in Venezuela , which
failed to produ ce a unifi e d
agreement on 1980 crude pn ces,
could ft:rther affect consumer prices
through the end ol ne&lt;t year.
The index is not a perfect measure
of how consumers react to inflation
and consequently has been
crittcized.
For example , i! beef prices rise
rapidly, many consumers switch to
lower-priced protein substitutes,
such as poultry , pork and eggs. The
mde&lt; doesn l reflect this kind of
change. Critics also matn!atn the in ·
