Church refused TV time
WASHINGTON—A request by Sen. Frank Church that the NBC, CBS and ABC networks be forced to sell him five minutes of simultaneous air time last night to match a Jimmy Carter broadcast was rejected by the Federal Communications Commission Monday, an FCC source said.
Carter had taken the unusual step of broadcasting a taped campaign message on each of three networks at the same time Sunday night, the source said.
Church and Carter are on the Democratic presidential primary ballots in California, New Jersey and Ohio today.
Church complained to the FCC over the weekend by telephone that the networks would not sell him simultaneously prime time last night, and the FCC called an emergency meeting of four commissioners. They voted 4-0 to turn Church down, the source said, and he was notified by telephone.
the SOUTH and he held the FCC agreed with the networks that they had fulfilled their equal time obligations to Church, since the networks had sold him air time during the past two weeks.
Gov. blamed for bad roads
TOPEKA - The Democraticocrat reserve of the Kansas House said yesterday that the roadblock tactics of Gov. Robert P. Bennett during the 1976 legislative session may have been inaccurate, according to a report by the group.
Carlin said his remarks were prompted by news stories that some Kansas counties were tearing up blacktop roads that had deteriorated and were replacing them with crushed rock roads, which are less expensive to maintain than blacktop roads.
"We've spent three decades building blacktop roads in rural Kansas," said Carlin. "Now, because the 1978 legislature was more concerned with the governor's highway theory than with real existing city and county needs, rural Kansas and agricultural interests have again taken a backseat in the list of priorities of the government."
"This backseat position is appalling since Kansas farmers must have good roads to set their crops to market." Carlin said.
"Ordinary, legislative blame for ineffectiveness should be shared," he said. But this time the blame runs straight to the governor's front doorstep.
"The problem is not with me," she said.
O'Neill acts a boost
WASHINGTON—Rep. Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill, so far unopposed in his bid to speaker of the next House of Representatives if Democrats retain control, got an A-10 vote in the House on Wednesday.
"I am recommending that he would make a good speaker," Albert said of the Massachusetts Democrat who is now majority leader.
Albert announced Saturday that he wouldn't re-election to the House in which he has served 99 years, including five as speaker.
As O'Neill made his candidacy formal with a letter asking the support of the 267 House Democrats, the campaigns of several potential successors to him at the time were threatened.
Rep. John J. McFall, D-Calif., appealed for support in another letter to Democritus. He cited his experience as whip, the Who, 3 post in the party leadership. Other contenders for the leader's post are Reps. Phillip Burton of California, Christine Miller of Wisconsin; and Richard Bolton of Missouri, a senior member of the Rules Committee.
Joplin renames street
JOPLIN, Mo.—The Joplin City Council voted Monday night to rename Broadway, a landmark street in the city, as Langston Hughes-Broadway in comedy.
His memory still proved a controversial subject at the council meeting, which attracted an estimated crowd of 230 people with speakers about every divided for round one.
A resolution of the Robert S. Thurman American Legion Post was read into the council's record. The resolution accused Hughes of "being a Communist, an agent of the Nazi Party."
Attorney William O. Russell presented a petition signed by about 1,600 people changing the name of Broadway, which extends from downtown Joplin to
In deference to the mixed opinions and emotions, the council split the difference and approved Langston Hughes-Broadway, rather than Langston Hughes Lincoln.
Film shows rape defenses
Pettit is directing a movie, in this that will show rape prevention methods.
Few women are immune to the possibility of being raped, but with training most women could prevent an attempted rape. Polly Pettit of the Douglas County Rape Victim Support Service, said yesterday.
Local volunteers are producing the 13-minute film, which also is being filmed locally. It is being funded by a $2,100 grant from the Governor's Committee on Criminal Administration. The grant covers a new member receive a salary, Petit said.
The film is based on the experiences of three rape victims. The film's purpose, Pettit said, is to dispel some myths about rape and to teach women against rape.
She said that one way a woman could protect herself was by avoiding the appearance of vulnerability. A woman who walks assertively and acts as if she knows where she is going is less likely to be raped or a woman who appears unassertive, she said.
Planning is another way a woman can avoid an attack. A woman can let family or

friends know where she is going, have her car keys ready before reaching the car and check inside the car before getting in, Pettit said.
"Self-defense includes both physical and verbal methods," Pettit said. "A woman who can't physically overpower an attacker can be able to tell her way out of the situation."

play." Rufus Cadigan, director of the play,
said yesterday.
One of the dominant American works of the 1980's, the play was presented at KU several years ago. Richard Kelton, a member of that production, is now on Broadway repeating his role in a production directed by Albee.
The drama is set during an evening in the home of a professor at a small college. The professor, George, and his wife, Martha, have returned drunk from a party. Martha has invited a young professor and his wife to stop by for a nightcap.
Biltgen see the evening as a "ritualistic purgation of years of frustration and bitterness built up by the leading characters, George and Martha, through the games and pretenses that they have used to cope with reality.
"At the same time, the events of that evening initiate the younger couple, Nick and Honey, into a world of personal vulnerability." Biltz said.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by

and August 2.

Court delivers decision on "discriminatory" laws
WASHINGTON (AP) - Employees and others seeking to prove charges of racial discrimination were handed a setback by the Supreme Court yesterday.
The court ruled 7-2 that laws that "bear more heavily on one race than another" are not necessarily unconstitutional for that reason.
Although the case dealt with employment discrimination, the greatest impact of the decision may be in other areas such as bousing and schools.
"The school desegregation cases have also adhered to the basic equal protection principle that the invidious quality of a law claimed to be racially discriminatory must ultimately be traced to a racially discriminatory purpose," he said.
Justice Byron R. White said that the Supreme Court's previous rulings in cases involving jury selection and congressional apportionment had "not embraced the proposition that a law or other official act, without regard to whether it reflects a law of their own jurisdiction, constituted solely because it has a racially disproportionate impact.
Specifically, White rejected arguments of blacks that they suffer unconstitutional discrimination because they fail four times in court. Most police police recruits in the District of Columbia.
In other action, the court ruled that consumer advocate Ralph Nader could use an airline that "bumped" him from a flight case it had sold more tickets than it had tests.
The two dissenters, Justice William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall, did not discuss the constitutional issue but said the case had been invalidated under Table VII.
They said the court's decision "has the potential of significantly weakening statutory safeguards against discrimination in employment."
The decision was a victory for consumer advocates in their battle against the airline practice of overreserving flights as a hedge against who make reservations but fail to show.
The high court ordered the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had earlier refused to rule on a case against a defendant.
Nader had presented sufficient evidence to support his claim for damages.
Nader filed the suit after being bumped from an Allegheny Airlines flight from Washington to Hartford, Conn., on April 28, 1972.
nearly 83,000 persons were bumped from airline flights in 1972 and about 76,000 met the same fate in 1973. In each year, this was one of the most successful passengers who arrived on board airplanes.
Harris trial to start despite publicity
LOS ANGELES (AP)—A judge refused yesterday to delay for a year the trial of Symbionese Liberation Army members William and Emily Harris, despite a hearing that many area residents feel the Harris are guilty and deserve harsh punishment.
Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler did agree to a brief continuance so the defense could file appeals. But he said he felt the figures in the defense Commissioned survey did not show "a reasonable likelihood that the Harris cannot receive a fair trial."
Brandler said no delay would diminish the amount of publicity surrounding the cases. Brandler said no delay would diminish the amount of publicity surrounding the cases.
The judge scheduled the trial to begin June 21.
The HarriSES are charged with assault, robbery and kidnapping in connection with a shooting incident at a sporting goods store and the kidnapping outside the store of a van. The van is charged in Alameda County with kidnapping Mika Heart.
Miss Heart also is charged in the store shooting case, but the date of her trial is indefinite because she remains in San Diego for tests which will determine the length of her sentence. The bank oblige a conviction. Brander has entered a plea of innocent for her.
