Bulk mail centers blasted
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the House Postal Facility said yesterday that new centers for handling bulk mail were "a management blender of the first mission."
Post officialals said they were unaware of the damage rate until Rep. Charles H. Wilson, D-Calf, and chairman of the subcommittee, made a surprise visit to a city where they were working.
The officials said they had been following statistics on how many parcels of wrappings had to be repaired by the family. The family said that when the wrappings had been torn loose from their wrappings.
Postal officials disagreed, saying the $1-billion system will "show a return on investment of 10 per cent" a year over what the old system would have cost it
Wilson said he believes that the bulk mail centers "will cost the American public millions of dollars while lowering the quality of mail service."
Soviet harassment charged
MUSCROW—The United States accused Soviet officials yesterday of organizing a "bomb barricade" in the airport where a Russian bomb barricaded which sent embassy staffers spilling from their offices.
A State Department spokesman in Washington said, "Soviet authorities have apparently started down the path of irresponsibility" by organizing a harassment campaign against dissident leaders.
The United States warned that such harassment could jeopardize American-Soviet relations, already strained following Soviet intervention in Angola.
The formal U.S. protest was the first claim that official Soviet groups were involved in harassment. The protest followed a U.S. letter the day before that said some telephone calls had threatened "the shooting of individuals" in the embassy. The protest said all possession of weapons taken to protect the lives and safety of foreign hostages in the United States were unlawful.
Senate rejects Concorde ban
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate refused yesterday to prohibit the Concordic supersonic jet from making scheduled flights into all U.S. airports.
By a 50-31 vote, the Senate rejected an amendment that would have added the Concordia ban to a bill authorizing $4.7 billion over 10 years to fund airport departures.
The Senate ban on the Concorde, if it had passed, would have been permanent and would have applied to all U.S. airports. The House already had passed legislation prohibiting the Concorde, but the House bill only banned the plane for six months.
Junta arrests Peron aides
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Many of deposed President Isabel Peron's ministers and advises as well as political leaders and union officials were reported in a United States government press release.
The 45-year-old Mrs. Peron was stouted early Wednesday in a bloodless coup. The junta, led by Gen.orge. Videla, named one of those seated as Mrs. Peron's private
The junta also raided the metalworkers' union headquarters and stormed the Communist party office, arresting a number of persons, one of whom reportedly
Strict censorship was imposed on the local media, congress was dissolved, and political and labor union activity was banned while the junta ensured control of the media. In some areas, censorship was implemented.
The junta has said a president will be named later, and some observers expect Videla to be installed in that position.
U.S. dissents in Israel vote
UNITED NATIONS, n.Y. (AP)—The United States vetoed a Security Council resolution last night that would have rebuked Israel for its entrenchment in Jerusalem and its administration of other occupied Arab territories.
William W. Scranton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, had charged in a speech Tuesday that Israeli settlements in the territories were obstructing peace in the Mideast. Scranton said he voted the way he did because the resolution would have hampered a new U.S. effort to restrain the peace process.
ALL THE 14 OTHER members of the Security Council voted for the resolution, which was proposed by a group of seven U.S. officials carefully tailored to avoid the U.S. veto.
Scraton said, "We are engaged . . . at this moment in an effort to regain momentum in the negotiating process that has brought some unusual progress, and I am very pleased with the progress in this effort than anything that has been undertaken since the 1967 war."
HE DID NOT elaborate. The veto was the
uphast by the United States in the council
of Congress in 1867.
THE VETO came at the conclusion of four days of debate in which Israel came under sustained fire from Arab, nonaligned West European and Communist nations for its occupation of East Jerusalem and to entrench itself in territories set during the 1967 war.

KU theater grant cut
Funds that had helped support the University of Kansas playwriting program will be withheld from the University next year.
For the past six years, KU has received the grant from the Shubert Foundation in New York. Last year the annual amount was cut from $10,000 to $5,000.
The grant helped produce "Pepsi Thredness," which went to the regional competition of the American College Theatre Festival (ACTF) in 1975, and "Congersonas," which won the ACTF award this year.
Ron Willis, director of the William Ingle Theatre, said yesterday the annual Shubert Foundation grant had been cut because of a lack of money.
Author Paul Stephen Lim, Philippines graduate student, and director David Cook, Lawrence graduate student, were given fellowships for "Conspironsas."
Jed Davis, director of the University Theatre, said the loss of the Shubert Foundation grant wouldn't cripple the playwriting program. He said the grant had been used as an addition to funds provided by regular University theater channels.
The grant has been used in many ways. The money bought props for the University and linge theatres and provided fellowships to students. We also help persons who helped produce the plays.
This year the money will also help cover the costs of sending "Conspirsonas" to Washington and be presented at the Art Center for Arts, as part of the ACTF. April 5-18.
Wills said that he had contacted the foundation to "make sure they knew about 'Compersona' winning" because "the Compersona" contributed helped develop the program.
Students review Revue
About 20 students attended the meeting, assigned to help KUY improve next year's Reunion.
"Everyone becomes a critic after Rock Chalk, and that's good," said John Schwartz, Wichita senior and producer of this year's Revue.
discussed. It was suggested that there should be a technical adviser to coordinate crews and point out problems that might be overlooked by the production staff.
Technical difficulties with staging and orchestration were the main problems
"There needs to be better coordination and organization of the entire layout of the production," said Steve Mokofak, set designer and stage crew chief of this year's Revue.
Representatives from some groups in this year's revue said more practice time with the technical stage on stage to correct technical problems with lighting and cues would be beneficial.
2 Senate committee heads elected
Two of the Student Senate's newly appointed standing committees elected to the Senate.
The newly-elected chairmen are Steve McMurry, Norton senior, Student Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities; and Jeff Servick, Leawood sophomore, Student Services.
Taddee Tadeff, student body president,
visited the two committees and explained
their goals.
Several members of the Academic Affairs committee will also be appointed to the task team.
The Student Rights Committee also requested Jim Cox, Senate parliamentarian, to begin a preliminary investigation about a ruling on the use of Senate printing equipment, made at the Senate Senate Kevin Flynn, Senate executive secretary.
Flynn had ruled that no Senate-funded group could use Senate equipment and funds for printing publications of a "political" or "editorial" nature.
A resolution sponsored by Bill Blessing, Kansas City, Kan., senior and passed by the Senate Wednesday, had requested the Rights committee to look into the matter.
The Services committee also will start work on establishing a paper recycling
program in University residence halls in cooperation with the Association of University Residence Halls, set up a summer job-clearing house for students, review the findings of the Student Union Task Force and monitor the performance of Senate-funded groups in preparation for the spring budget hearings.
