LOS ANGELES (AP) A Los Angeles lawyer who brought a price-fixing suit against the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries wants to sue Iran for taking Americans hostage despite President Carter's agreement to grant Iran immunity from lawsuits.

"When governments ratify the acts of outlaws, they should for it," James Davis said yesterday. "In the past, we have limited international law to relations between sovereign states," he said. "It is now time to emphasize the rights of individuals." Davis did not reveal the identities of the ex-hostages he represents nor the amount damages sought. He said he would file the suit today. Carter agreed to exempt Iran from suits by former hostages as part of the deal to obtain their release from Iran.

The 52 Americans were freed Jan. 20 after 444 days of captivity. Early last year, Davis filed a price-fixing suit against OPEC on behalf of the International Association of Machinists. A U.S. District judge in Los Angeles dismissed the suit, saying he lacked jurisdiction, but Davis appealed to the 9th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals. A decision is expected soon. Chris Carmichael, an associate of Davis, said that "Iran has $91 million in assets in the state and we hope to freeze them." According to the lawyer, federal law provides that the courts, not the president, have the power to decide when and where sovereign immunity from suits applies. In addition, Davis claimed, the Sovereign Immunities Act specifically allows suits against a foreign nation over such acts as false imprisonment if they are committed on U.S. soil.

Davis contended that the grounds of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran constituted U.S. soil. "While the former hostages are obviously glad to be home, why should their rights be surrendered because of duress?" Davis asked. Davis claimed Carter was coerced into promising immunity in order to free the hostages, adding that under "all systems of law of which I am aware, coercion allows the person who is the object of such duress to void his part of the State company admits evading ban on exports NEWARK, N.J.

(AP) The first American company to plead guilty to charges of evaded a presidential ban on exporting goods to Iran faces up to $90,000 in fines. Geils Foerst Marine Electric Inc. of New Rochelle, N.Y., pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court to charges it continued with a contract to supply an Iranian firm with 250 gas-driven welding machines after President Carter issued the ban on April 7, 1980. The prohibition on exports was issued in connection with the holding of American hostages in Iran. The company acknowledged a scheme to transport the heavy machinery to Iran through West Germany and the Soviet Union.

As part of a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, the company agreed to a civil fine of $10,000, but still faces up to $80,000 in criminal fines when sentenced March 23. According to charges filed by prosecutors, the company received an order for the equipment in July 1979 from Atuf Hosseini of Moama Co. of Tehran. However, longshoremen refused to load cargo bound for Iran and the shipment was delayed, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Terrence Flynn.

The company then arranged to have the goods transported through Mohammed Hafezi, an importer-exporter operating under the name Lesoflot, in Augsberg, West Germany, the goverment went ahead the order and the minal in Jersey Customs Service official Helmut legedly arranged were not going to with its plans company moved City, prosecutors officials halted the Keiner 'contacted for false assurances Iran, prosecutors after Carter issued the goods to a tersaid.
