His uncle, Ambassador Ardeshir, right, and a bodyguard accompagnied him. (AP photo) Iran- Continued from Page 1 one of his closest aides asked a reporter. meini camp would like a kind of slow-motion confrontation, in which they would work to secure enough resignations from parliament and from the regency council to paralyze the government.

So far, one of the nine regency council members, and 32 of the 200 members of the lower house of parliament, have announced their resignations, and others are reportedly planning to do so. The hardliners in the Khomeini camp want the ayatollah to declare a provisional government immediately. Bakhtiar cannot allow either mass resignations or the establishment of a rival regime. He, too, is a flinty man, who fought against Spain's Gen. Francisco Franco and in the French resistance during World War II.

He allowed Khomeini to come home, where he can hardly do more damage to the government than he was doing from France, but he can he expected to fight hard to preserve what he regards as the legitimacy of his six-week-old administration. IN TEHRAN on 1 Friday, about 10,000 excited supporters besieged THE MODERATES in the Kho- Khomeini's headquarters on his first full day in Iran in more than 14 years to get a glimpse of him. The 78-year-old religious leader went to a ground-floor window of the building, a school, and waved to the crowds as they streamed past chanting "'Hail Khomeini!" and "Death to Bakhtiar!" Some also shouted "Death to Carter!" because of Washington's Tapes- quested a justice department ruling in advance of any broadcast of the tapes. Otherwise, he added, "they have the perfect right to say, 'Play the programs, and then we'll make a ruling. Eleven of the tapes, which were mailed from Russia in mid-December, arrived earlier this week.

Davis said he has listened to some of the recordings and that they contain "soft-sell" Soviet propaganda. "WE GOT two tapes in today. One is a commentary on the status of the Soviet woman and the other is on wildlife in Siberia. I'm sure there is some propaganda in both of those," he said. Although Davis himself "vehemently disagrees" with the political opinions expressed by Radio Trade- cooperation can be achieved between all powers." Specifically, Steveson will offer legislation in these areas, he said: Under current law, the Soviet Union alone is barred from receiving more than $300 million in new Export-Import Bank loans or financial guarantees; China has no ceiling.

Stevenson will propose that all Communist countries be limited to $2 billion each in loans and guarantees, a substantial rise in the Soviet ceiling. It also would place the Soviet Union and China under the same limits. The law limits Russia to $40 million in Eximbank loans for research or exploration of fuel deposits so as to discourage American investment in Siberian project. His legislation would eliminate that limit. The Trade Act currently bars most-favored nation tariff treatment support of the shah and Bakhtiar, and "Death to Huyser!" referring to Gen.

Robert Huyser, deputy commander of U.S. forces in Europe. Huyser has been in Iran for weeks, and some sources say he has been trying to muster support for Bakhtiar among Iranian generals and discourage a coup. But the opposition calls it another example of American meddling in Iranian affairs, and some say Huyser would be the man to give the go-ahead to any anti-Khomeini military coup. People in the crowd assured foreigners they were not against Westerners individually, only the policies of their governments.

KHOMEINI followers staged peaceful demonstrations against the government in the cities of Ahwaz, Sanandaj and Isfahan. But the state radio said anti-government demonstrators hurled firebombs into the police headquarters compound in the city of Semnan, 110 miles east of Tehran, and that two persons were killed in the ensuing battle between protesters and police. In an interview with Radio Monte Carlo, Bakhtiar said that 1 if Khomeini announces formation of a rival government, "I will ignore it as much as possible. There are times when one has to know how to say no." Much of the top military leadership is believed to remain loyal to the shah, and rumors continue here of a possible military coup to keep Khomeini owt of power. But Khomeini's camp contends that many in the military support his movement.

Bakhtiar in the interview said he rules out the likelihood of a coup "at this time." Continued from Page 1 Moscow, he believes they bear listening. "We'll play them, open up our phones for comment and maybe comment ourselves," Davis said. OF THE tapes received so far, Davis said, there is little politicallyoriented programming. More typical, he added, is a 15-minute show called "Moscow Mailbag" featuring Joe Adamov. Adamov answers questions sent by Radio Moscow listeners, Davis said.

That law allows the president to seek a "waiver" if he can tell Congress that he has "received assurances" that emigration would be liberalized.

The 1 new and softened, legislation would allow the waiver if the president "determines" emigration practices are satisfactory. current law, the president can only seek a "waiver" for one-year periods, making it more difficult for firms to enter into longterm contracts with Communist countries. The new legislation would allow the waiver to last for five-year periods. Stevenson, in the interview, acknowledged that his new legislation in effect reversing some laws that he helped promote in 1974 would be controversial..
