Death penalty compromise
TOPEKA, Kan.—Two Senate committees announced late yesterday a com-
mission on a proposed death penalty bill.
The compromise agreement calls for placing in the bill capital punishment for the first degree murder of:
- Certain public officials, including the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and the judge of any court.
- Witnesses in criminal proceedings who are killed.
- Immates who don't fall under the other category of persons slain in a corrections institution.
Ruling restricts rentals
TOPEKA, Kan.- School districts have no legal authority to charge students for enrollment or supplies are equipment in special classes, such as shop classes,
He said the Kansas textbook rental law only permitted charges for textbooks, fees and supplemental charges.
If the ruling stands, it will wipe out rental fees some public schools charge for everything except the textbook rental.
Warning on abortion law
TOPEKA, Kam-, Robert C. Harder, secretary of the State Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, told a Senate committee yesterday that it would be a violation of federal welfare laws to prohibit use of state funds to pay for abortions for the poor.
Harder said if the bill were passed, it might cause the state to lose federal funds because it would violate federal standards.
the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has taken the stand that because abortions are a legal medical procedure there isn't any legal ground for withholding payment of medical costs, just as there is no legal ground for withholding medical payment for an appendectomy.
The bill got a generally cool reception from the committee, but chairman Wint Winter, R-Otawa, said he would give bill sponsors a chance to be heard before a vote.
Atomic protection sought
WASHINGTON - A citizens' environmental group today asked the Nuclear
regulatory Commission to take emergency measures to protect atomic material,
waste and radioactive debris.
At a news conference, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff scientists, Arthur R. Tamplin and Thomas B. Cochran, both opponents of plutonium-based atomic energy, said atomic materials now are inadequately protected, especially during reprocessing and fuel fabricating plants operated by civilian companies.
Tamplin and Cochran said a terrorist group could妨架 a crude atom bomb from small as little 10 kilograms, about 22 pounds, of highly enriched uranium or plutonium.
Pay hikes draw fire
TOPEKA-House Speaker Duane S. McGill asked yesterday for no more than a five per cent increase in faculty salaries to state colleges and universities.
Brennett proposed that the legislature hike faculty salaries by 10 per cent this year, the increase would not be felt.
McGill will give the recommendations in a letter to Rep. Wendell Lady, R-Overland Park, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, in which he resisted his opposition to proposals by Gov. Robert F. Bennett on the issue of teacher salaries.
"It is possible that you might wish to devise a formula whereby no one receiving more than $2,000 receives any increase this week or makes it down proportionately." McGill said.
McGill's letter said that he was firmly convinced that Kansans didn't favor a continued increase of funds for post-secondary education.
MGill said he believed that holding the financial line of post-secondary education would "guard the state balances, avoid taxation and reduce the level of spending."
He said that no spending should be increased until a master plan was developed to assist the legislature in making decisions about education at a level acceptable to Kansans.
McGill also suggested "careful review" of the governor's recommendation for a 12
per cent increase for other operating expenditures for state schools.
"A casual perusal of this account would indicate possible reductions," McGill said.

WASHINGTON-Daniel Patrick Moyhan, who has been embroiled in controversy since becoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations last year, resigned yesterday, telling President Ford: "It is time to return to teaching."
In a letter of reply, Ford accepted the resignation "with the deepest regret and reluctance," declaring that Moynahan had "failed to meet deadlines sufficiently and honestly" at the United Nations.
FLATTERY will get you NOWHERE
When a reporter remarked that a lot of Democrats were talking about his running next November against Sem. James M. Hudley, R.N.Y., Moynihan replied: "I'm not."
Moynahan told reporters at the United Nations, "I assume I'll be back in government one way or other some day. I'm going to do something," she ruled out an early race for the U.S. Senate.
When the White House announced his resignation, Moynihan was serving as secretary of state.
Moynihan quits U.N. to return to teaching
Moynihan dated his letter of resignation last Saturday and said it was the last day of office.
Although his resignation was effective immediately, Moynihan said Harvard University, where he will teach, had agreed that he might stay on at the United Nations to serve the remainder of February as council president.
"It is time to return to teaching," he wrote, "and such are the conditions of my job."
Ford's letter formally accepting the resignation was dated Monday.
The latest of several flaps involving Myohann came last week after he sent an email to a journalist.
Moynhan had served the Ford administration earlier as ambassador to

He said in the same cablegram that he feared a large faction in the State Department "which has an interest in our performance being judged to have failed." He said this faction had leaked its assessment to news media and Congress.
Kissinger said there had been some criticism of Moynihan's outspoken approach to U.S. diplomacy within the department.
White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen told reporters that Ford had no advance notice Moyhan was sending the letter of inquiry to be circulated a successor would be named soon.
Last week Moyhan had maintained that he had been successful in efforts aimed "at breaking up the massive blot of nations, which for so long have been arrayed against us in international forums and in diplomatic encounters generally."
After Moynhan's cable appeared in the press last week, Nessen said:
"Pat is supported by the President, the secretary of state and the top officials of the SEC."
