-1 i WASHINGTON (AP) With almost a hundred demonstrators already injured, police mobilized for a second day of raucous street protests by supporters and opponents of the Shah of Iran as he wound up his violence-scarred state visit. Demonstrations were planned at more than a dozen widely scattered sites around the city. After a final round of talks with President Carter at the White House today, the shah was scheduled to attend an Embassy Row luncheon hosted by Vice President Walter F. Mondale and a later meeting on Capitol Hill with the House International Relations Committee. Thousands of slogan-shouting, placard-carrying demonstrators from both sides were expected to await the shah as he traveled to his appointments.

He and his wife, the Empress Farah, are due to leave tonight from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for a trip to Paris. Police revoked permits for today's protests closest to the executive mansion, deciding to forbid anti-shah forces from massing on the sidewalk north of the White House and proshah groups from using the Ellipse south of the mansion. Other permits near the White House remained in effect, but with greater separation of the two factions. This has been the most tumultuous of the shah's 12 visits here during his 36-year reign. There were 12 arrests and 124 people reported injured, 25 of them police officers, as repeated clashes broke out between the contending factions.

George Washington University Hospital officials said at least 45 demonstrators were treated in the emergency room. Three were admitted, including a 66-year-old pro-shah demonstrator from California. He was listed in serious condition late Tuesday night after undergoing two hours of surgery for a fractured skull. A 21-year-old demonstrator was in satisfactory condition protest his visit. A few hundred feet away, the shah was being ANTI-SHAH protesters burn an effigy of the Shah of Iran near the White House Tuesday to welcomed in official ceremonies by President Carter.

Almost everyone nearby felt the effects of the fumes, but Carter completed his remarks without pause. Both leaders dabbed at their eyes but the shah seemed more irritated by the fumes than the president.

Carter tried to make light of the incident. Receiving a tapestry of George Washington from the shah after they entered the White House, Carter remarked, "I apologize for the temporary air pollution in Washington." Later, following a black-tie state dinner he hosted for his visitor, Carter said in a toast, "There's one thing I have to say about the shah. He sure knows how to draw a crowd." Tuesday's series of incidents, the largest and most violent since the Vietnam War protest days, overshadowed the substantive talks Carter and the shah held. The two leaders met for 90 minutes Tuesday There was no sign of any weakening in U.S. -Iranian friendship despite the allegations of human rights violations in Iran and Carter's interest in reducing arms sales overseas.

Iran has been the No. 1 purchaser of U.S. weaponry in recent years, and a White House statement said Carter pledged continued U.S. arms exports to that country. Iran has bought about $15 billion worth of U.S.

arms in the last five years. Later, Carter said U.S. military ties with Iran are "unsha-keable." He called Iran a stabilizing force in the Middle East. The vaguely worded statement made no reference to the many items of sophisticated weaponry on the shah's shop-pinglist. Of particular interest to him Farmers' Strike Likelihood Good are' 140 F-16 fighter planes that would, supplement 160 purchased.

White House Press Secretary Jody Powell gave no details of the discussions, but said Carter told the shah he was pleased by the monarch's attitude. In recent days, the shah has told interviewers that Iran will take no position when the 13-nation oil export cartel meets next month to discuss possible price increases. missing hampered search attempts by 143 aircraft used by the Civil Air Patrol.

Eileen Provost, News By MARGY McCAY Associated Press Writer A call to unite and strike has gone out to the traditionally independent American farmer and there is evidence he is listening. The appeal comes from American Agriculture, a group' of disgruntled farmers in Colorado who say they are tired of selling their milo, wheat and corn for less than it costs to produce. "We're working for one common goal 100 percent of parity for all products that we produce," said Dale Schroder, a spokesman for the fledgling group. "We ask for no subsidies; we're willing to take our chances with the elements. But we want a contract from the government as to how much any individual farmer is expected to produce," he said.

The movement to unite farmers appears to be spreading. Fanners in Washington, Nebraska, Kansas and Georgia have staged marches and "tractorcades" to call attention to their plight. "We're getting really strong in about 30 states," said Schroder. "And I think we'll have a really good turnout on this thing. I feel we're going to come out of this with support like you wouldn't believe." American Agriculture has Injured Youth Is Improved The condition of Michael Miller, 16, Orient, injured in an auto accident that claimed the life of fellow Teays Valley athlete Kevin Egbert, 17, Rt.

The third, a 20-year-old anti-shah student, was in fair condition with facial cuts. National Park Service police estimated that about 8.000 people took part in Tuesday's protests.

The shah's supporters see him as a hero for bringing prosperity and stability to Iran. His detractors look upon him as a tyrant whose regime would crumble without U.S. economic and military ties. The most serious of Tuesday's incidents erupted just beyond the White House fence as the shah and his wife arrived for a ceremonial welcome from Carter. The two leaders, along with their went through; their paces on the podium on the South Lawn, contending first with the shouts of the demonstrators, then with tear gas wafted by a gentle southern breeze, then with the roar of low-fly ing helicopters.

Syrians Skeptical Of Visit DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -Egyptian President Anwar Sadat flew to Damascus today to seek endorsement from skeptical Syrian allies for his dramatic offer to visit Jerusalem on a peace mission. President Hafez Assad, a persistent critic of unilateral moves in Arab-Israeli relations, embraced, the Egyptian president on the tarmac of Damascus international airport as hundreds of armed security guards stood watch. Sadat's first official visit to the Syrian capital since May 1975 involved unusually tight security because his proposal to go to Israel could increase the risk of attack from extremists, sources said.

Damascus has also recently been the target of random bombings, which the official press has blamed on the arch-rival regime in neighboring Iraq. Before leaving Cairo, Sadat confirmed Israeli President Menahem Begin's formal invitation had arrived but said he had not yet fixed a date for the visit. Asked if he might go next week, he replied, "Let us hope so. The scheduling of a visit is complicated by Begin's plans to visit Britain Nov. 20-23 and the.

Moslem holiday of Kurban Bai-. ram on Nov. 20-22. The Egyptian president talked earnestly with Assad as they walked up the red carpet to the reviewing stand. Syrian officials and the state-controlled press have been restrained in their reaction to Sadat's surprise announcement in Cairo last week that he' was willing to go to the Israeli Knesset to talk peace.

Privately Syrians have shown undisguised anger. They claim they were not consulted in advance on the proposal. Pickerington named Dec. 14 as strike day. Farmers have been asked to withhold all produce from the market and to boycott all but essential goods after that date.

"We're not going to buy a damned thing," Schroder said. "We consume 40 percent of the steel made in the United States. If it goes to the 14th, this thing is going to shake this nation to the core." Parity, the issue on which the strikers have focused, is a term to describe a "fair" price for farm products in relation to the farmer's cost of living. Farm prices- in mid-October were just under 65 percent of parity for most products. "We want a reasonable profit," said Tommy Carter of Alma, Ga.

"How many common workers and laborers would be willing to get 64 percent of the salary they should be receiving? Well, that's what we get for our crops." Georgia is a stronghold for strike supporters. Larry Lee, spokesman for the National Pork Producers Council and a former Georgian, said everything bad that can happen in farming happened in Georgia this year. "From drought to army worms to aflatoxin (a fungus which attacks corn and soybeans) all but about 30 counties have been declared disaster areas," said Lee. Few observers give the strike much chance of success. Lee said the -most that ers can do is call attention to their problems.

"I personally think that they will focus a lot of attention on the situation and that's all they can hope to do. To excite the consumer is all for naught. They need to convince the Congressional people; they are the ones with the power," Lee said. "What possible impact could it have on a market that has 1.3 billion bushels of wheat and two legislation allowing the city to enter contracts for construction of the Anchor Hocking trunk sewer from Ety Road to Collin Road.

A hunter hiking through woods about 20 miles south of Charleston, W.Va., Monday found the wreckage of Tipple's single-engine Piper Cherokee. Papers found on the body tentatively identified it as Tipple, who had been missing since Sept.

14. The body was removed Tuesday by West Virginia State Police and taken to medical facilities in Charleston where identification was confirmed. Funeral service is planned Friday. "There is no evidence of a fire," state police said of the plane crash Sources said tne wings of the plane were detached but the fuselage was intact. Tipple's body was inside.

State police and Federal Aviation Administration officials are investigating the crash. The initial theory is that the plane flew into the side of the Brushfork Ridge near Ashford, W. in cloudy, rainy weather. Bad weather several days after Tipple was reported injuries have been reported. Related story on page 2.
