Embassy in Tehran today threatened to refuse to Transfer the 50 american hostages to the ruling revolutionary Council at ail if demonstrations of support for the militants continue to increase. A crowd of several thousand gathered outside the . Embassy today the third Day in a Row chanting slogans of support for the militants and urging them not to Transfer the americans held captive for 126 Days. The demonstrators have also demanded the iranian government not Compromise with the United states. A a they re supporting the students not to let the hostages go out of the compound Quot said the militants spokesman reached by Telephone from associated press offices in Bonn. Germany about 8 30 . Est. A they say a we Trust the students and they the americans should be kept by the students until we get the Shah Quot if this demonstration increases probably we would not give any of those hostages to the revolutionary asked whether the handover to the revolutionary Council would take place today the spokesman said Quot i doubt he said there had been no response from the Council to the militants announced refusal to Transfer the americans to foreign minister Sadegh Ghotb Zadeh. Earlier one of the embassy militants refused to say whether the Transfer would be called off for the Day saying Only any developments were possible in the coming hours. But he said Ghotb Zadeh a decision to address the iranian people sometime tonight indicated he would not go to the embassy today to receive the hostages. Ghotb Zadeh said he will address the nation apparently signalling at least a temporary postponement of today a scheduled Transfer after the militants said he had falsely claimed the americans Transfer had been approved by Iran a revolutionary Leader. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. They said a Transfer was still possible but not with him in charge of the operation. Meanwhile state department officials in Washington said a things seem confused Quot in Iran and doubted the Transfer would be made As scheduled. The militants announced Early today they would allow a representative of the Council to accept the americans held for 126 Days today at 5 . Local time 8 30 . Est. No word of a meeting had been received by that time. The Transfer first appeared in doubt Only hours before it was to occur when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini a office issued a statement denying Council claims that he had approved the move. The statement seemed to contradict an earlier announcement broadcast on Tehran radio which quoted Ghotb Zadeh As saying he would Quot receive Quot the hostages today following the Quot order of the Man Khomeini a and with a the approval of the revolutionary Council which was said the statement from Khomeini s office carried on Tehran radio and monitored in Nicosia Cyprus Quot some newspapers recently reported certain opinions have been expressed by the Imam Khomeini founder of the islamic Republic concerning the question of handing Over the hostages to the Revou tonary Council. A we emphasize the Imam has so far preferred silence regarding this question and has delegated a decision on the hostage problem to the islamic consultative Council parliament Quot the Council will not be fully elected until next month. At about the same time. Tehran radio broadcast a further clarification of the situation from president Abolhassan Bani Sadr who also is head of the revolutionary Council and is known to be keen to resolve the hostage crisis. The radio quoted Bani Sadr As saying the militants first proposed to an unidentified member of the Council and to Khomeini a son Ahmad that they hand Over the hostages and the embassy to the Council. A when i met with the Imam his son praised the proposal with me and i agreed. Then i raised it with the Council and it was endorsed Quot Bani Sadr said. Even if the authorities do assume control of the americans an Early release appeared unlikely. In their radio statement the militants said the hostages will be Given Quot full medical checking and films Are to be taken of them Quot before they Are turned Over to Council representatives. Shortly after the Transfer the hostages would be seen by the . Commission in Tehran investigating Iran s charges against deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi Ghotb Zadeh said Friday. The . Commissions five lawyers from Algeria Venezuela France Bangladesh and Syria who arrived in Tehran two weeks ago today Are trying to seek the hostages release As Well As investigate iranian allegations that the Shah killed and tortured thousands of his opponents and plundered the nation s Treasury during his 37-year reign which ended when he fled Iran 14 months ago in the islamic revolution.
