NEW YORK (AP) -- Former U.N. Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan has decided to enter the U.S. for nomination to the U.S. Senate from Kentucky close him up.
Moynihan scheduled a 10 a.m. news conference here Thursday. He couldn't be reached for comment yesterday.
The two sources, who refused to be identified publicly, said Wednesday that Moynahan, 49, would announce for the Senate seat now held by Republican-
Wheat forecast aloomu
TOPEKA - The Kansas wheat forecast was trimmed sharply yesterday to 279.5 million bushels, down 22.9 million bushels from a month ago. If the forecast holds true, the crop may have surpassed the previous year.
A month ago, the Kansas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service was forecasting a crop of 302.40 million bushels. It said the reduction was the result of damage caused by pests. The report also predicted that prices would be higher.
The new forecast, based on conditions existing June 1, estimates 10.75 million acres will be harvested with an average yield of 26 bushels per acre.
Spain's parties given OK
MADRID_The Spanish parliament legalized political parties yesterday for the first time in nearly 40 years. The move could give the country as many as 120 parties and could include the Communists, officials said.
Parliament approved the measure backed by King Juan Carlos by a vote of 338 to 91, overriding objections from rightist leaders.
to 91, overriding objections from rightist leaders. Political parties were banned at the end of the Spanish civil war in 1839.
The vote was seen as a defeat for the "Bunker," the rightist establishment by Gen. Franco Principe. The Franciotes have been declining in power rapidly since the fall of Mussolini.
AG raps Bennett veto
TOPEKA-Atty, Gen. Curt Schneider said yesterday that Gov. Robert F. Bennett's aide on a public television item in the 1976 omnibus appropriations bill ordered by the governor.
The item that the governor vetoed provided "this shall constitute approval of the recommendations of the Public Television System as contemplated by state statutes, which recommendations were submitted to the governor and the legislature." The provision also included the appropriation of $249.00.
Schneider said there was no question that Bennett had power to exercise his line item veto power to disapprove the $240,000 appropriation, but that the veto power would have been insufficient.
Kina's killer 'not alone'
MEMPHIS—One of James Earl Ray's attorneys said yesterday he was convinced his client wasn't acting in the 1804 slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King
"I'm convinced he's covering up for someone," attorney Robert L. Livingston said. "If he's withholding information—and I think he is—he might have hope of executive clemency from the governor of this state if he made a clean breast of what he knows." I think there are those who have not been brought to justice."
Livingston has represented Ray for six years in an attempt to win him a full trial on murder charges in connection with the King assassination. But the courts have refused to grant Ray's petition to withdraw his 1989 guilty plea. The Sixth U.S. Court Circuit of Appeals recently refused to consider the case.
Statue site of vet protest
NEW YORK- Fifteen Vietnam war veterans were arrested by National Park police Wednesday after the veterans barricaded themselves inside the Statue of Liberty in New York City.
A U.S. Park Service spokesman said a force of 15 police smashed through the barricades when protracted amnesty negotiations bogged down.
The one-on-one operation ended peacefully, while the cornea protesters submitted quietly to arrest. Liberty Island was sealed off to reporters and the authorities.
The member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War took over the famed monument when it closed at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. They drove 10 employees out and stayed inside until closing.
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Californians overwhelmingly rejected string controls over nuclear power plants in one of the most emotional and expensive ballot battles in California.
But the measure's defeat Tuesday still left California with three newly signed laws that Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. calls "the toughest ever passed." Brown, who will be held in contempt of justice, was concerned with nuclear safeguards and credits the initiative for success of the bills.
With almost all votes counted, the tally was 3,756,215 against 1,848,518 for the party.
The initiative would have voided the bills signed by Brown, and would have required power companies to operate nuclear plants in order to maintain liability or have their outputs restricted.
It also would have required the legislature to decide by two-thirds vote that nuclear power systems are safe, or new technology was needed and old ones phased out starting in 1981.
Strict nuclear controls rejected
Limits on use of tax returns recommended
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Federal Privacy Commission yesterday urged sharp limits on the use and distribution of income tax information, but stopped short of recommending that only the collector see taxaver returns.
Making their first report to President Ford and Congress, the seven commission members said voluntarily submitted tax returns. The commission agreed a "generalized government asset."
"The commission believes that the confidentiality of tax returns and related information is an essential element in preserving the effectiveness of the tax system in this country," the 71-page report said.
The commission, headed by New York management consultant and accountant David Linweis, was created by Congress in 1982 to protect rights of private security of American Americans.
The tax return report was issued to coincide with Senate considerate next week of a tax reform bill dealing in part with issues. A final report is due next spring.
In its most controversial recommendation, the commission said the Justice Department and other law enforcement agencies should no longer have easy access to tax returns for investigations and prosecutions not involving tax laws.
The panel said that before the Internal Revenue Service turned over individual returns for such investigations, prosecutors should be required to obtain a federal court order. The taxpayer should be notified that the government is trying to his federal return, the panel said.
In 1975, the Justice Department sought to examine returns of 2,374 taxpayers suspected of various criminal offenses, the report said.
A major difference between the initiative and the bills is that the bills will not affect existing plants or those being built.
More than $4 million was spent on the campaign, including more than $3 million by opponents who included such industrial companies as Electric, Westinghouse, and Bechtel Corp.
Pacific Gas & Electric, which operates one of California's three licensed reactors and has two more under construction, spent more than $400,000 to fight Proposition 15.
Proponents spent nearly $1 million. When all reports are in, the spending on proposition will surpass the $3 million it was spent. Proposition 1956 in state officials said.

See how you can read almost as fast as you can turn pages . . . and with better comprehensi
and with better comprehension.
Today we are in the midst of a communications revolution. Hundreds of thousands of hardbound books are now told yearly in this country—in addition to millions of paperbacks. We read 10,000 newspapers and supplements and 650 general interest magazines. The newspaper industry has its national and trade期刊 published in 180 different fields. If we are to keep up with this flood of information, we must read more and more.
Through reading you can achieve more in school, move up in business, and give yourself new depth and confidence. Many men and women have made over their lives through reading. Abraham Littin taught himself how to study, taught themselves finance, psychology, advertising, electronics, business management, comparative religion—entirely by reading. Thousands of high school and college students flock to Reading Dynamics annually just to meet their success on the Graduate Exam, where slow readers are severely penalized.
