When U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young resigned after his secret approach to the Palestine Liberation Organization, the nation's black leaders erupted in hostility toward Jewish groups, which they blamed, somewhat unfairly, for the ouster of the highest black in Government. Last week President Carter named an adroit successor to Young: Donald F. McHenry, 42, a top deputy at the U.N. mission.

Two weeks earlier Major General Mohammed Vali Gharani, who was army chief of staff briefly under the revolutionary government, had been shot down outside his home by three unknown attackers.
