Iran military shakeup signals rift with hardliners
The Pars agency reported President Bani Sadr accepted the resignation of acting military chief Gen Mohammad Hadi Shadmehr and named Gen Waliollah Fallahi as acting chief. Gen Ghasemali Zahirnejad became commander of land forces and the Islamic Guard. Col Javad Fakouri took over the air force. Tehran Radio said Bani Sadr met with Revolutionary Guards to end feuding, while hardliners vow to tighten control. Ayat accused of plotting to oust Bani Sadr, whose paper Enghlab Eslami quotes him warning of a plot by officials against the presidency and the Islamic Republic Party. The crisis underscores the rift between Bani Sadr’s moderates and the clerical hardliners over the hostage crisis and regime stability.

Trustees warned Congress that a prolonged recession could delay Social Security payments in 1983. The annual report notes that under adverse conditions the system may need more revenues within three years even with borrowing proposals among the three trust funds. Without borrowing, Old Age and Survivors Insurance could be unable to pay benefits by late 1981 or early 1982.
