Iran's streets, which have
been comparatively quiet
during the past few days
since a new prime minister
came to power, are expected
to again be the scene. of a
bloody confrontation today
with the resumption of
fighting between troops and
rioters.

But the call was im-

municipal chiefs throughout
the province along with all
three opposition leaders and
the B.C. Federation of

B.C. hospitals were this
week preparing to cancel
surgical operations and there
were fears that heart surgery
might also have to be halved,
with resulting deaths,
because of an acute shortage
of blood.

Donors have failed to
respond by turning up to two

operating in the Vancouver
area and by mid-weck there
was less than half a day's
supply of blood for the
province's hospitals.

Stephens, along with
leaders in the NDP and
Liberal parties, accuse, the
Socred government of trying
to appear as saviors of the

public by preventing
runaway spending while
unjustly making the
municipalities appear the
villains. .
Observers say that
whatever happens, the

municipalities will be the
losers, since they would be
condemned for increasing
spending and equally blamed
for shabby local service that
might be created if they stick.
to previous budgets.

B.C. Labor Federation
head Jim Kinnaird has also
joined, the protesters saying
the move will hold down pay
scales and affect the
collective bargaining
process.
