House won't tell secrets
WASHINGTON—In a precedent-setting victory for President Ford, the house voted 40-25 to approve the defense committee from publicly available documents without the President's approval.
The directive was approved over objections of the committee majority which said it would give the President and the intelligence agencies the power to censor communications.
Committee Chairman Oita G. Pike, D.N.Y., said the decision would be up to the intelligence committee. But he must answer rather file no final report than ask the commissioner to review it.
"My instincts are personally that there is no way I am going to be party to filing a report on the CIA that is censored by the CIA or rewritten by the CIA," Pike said.
Rabin takes tough stand
Washington.-Signaling a tough stand on future Mideast negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Mendelsohn yesterday that 'we are going to take more action' on the so-called peace treaty.
In a speech, before the National Press Club yesterday, Rabin said the fate of Lebanon's Christian minority served as a reminder to Israel "not to be under any jurisdiction."
Rabin reiterated Israel's willingness to "take risks for peace." But he again ruled out negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Rabin's speech followed a White House meeting with President Ford, the third such session during Rabin's U.S. visit. Describing the meeting, a White House spokesman said the administration was continuing efforts to promote a Middle East peace.
Terrorists murder execs
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina-left-wing terrorist corporations assassinated two Argentine executives at the U.S.-owned Bendix plant yesterday. Business leaders threatened to stop paying taxes and shut down some operations if the government doesn't provide security and stability.
The businessmen didn't define the extent of their threatened boycott.
A provincial policeman was also killed in the raid at the automotive parts plant in suburban Buenos Aires.
Killer sentenced to death
NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Erwin Charles Simmons of Sutherland, convicted earlier this month in the shooting deaths of six members of a Sutherland family, was sentenced yesterday to death in the electric chair at the Nebraska Penal Complex in Lincoln.
Under Nebraska law, the imposition of the death penalty is subject to automatic review by the State Supreme Court.

Bennett gives power plants tentative OK for water
TOPEKA (AP)—Gov. Robert F. Bennett said yesterday he supported efforts by two power utilities to obtain water for use in a proposed nuclear generating plant near Burlington, but that he had requested more information.
Bennett cautioned that his opinion was based on information available to him, and that he had asked his staff to prepare additional reports.
"From what I understand and my staff know, the governor said that price is appropriate," the governor said.
"UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES I support it," he added.
The governor said he was not aware that some cities along the Neoosh River might run short of water some day if applications filed by the authorities are approved granting them rijb's to all natural flow of the Neoosh not already legally appropriated.
The Associated Press learned Wednesday that the Nebraska reservoir near the Noeble泡区John Redmond Reserve
are protected only to a certain level of water use; and that three cities—Oswego, Humboldt and St. Paul—are using more water than is protected.
DOCUMENTS FILED WITH the Division of Water Resources of the state Board of Agriculture show that the 11 affected cities are only protected according to their application for division, and they are taking a chance if they use more water than they applied for.
Kansas Gas and Eelecetric Co., Wichita, and Kansas City Power and Light Co., who have filed applications jointly, have filed applications to attain water rights in the Neoaho, in addition to water to be purchased from the state under their lease. The applicants are pending with the Kansas Legislature.
THE APPLICATIONS UNDER a 1945 state law, provides the means by which government and cities obtain legally protected property rights to specified quantities of water.
Senate Minority Leader Jack Steinerger of Kansas City released a report which he said proved the state could give taxpayers $27.1 million in annual tax relief until 1980 without letting the general revenue fund balance fall below $70 million.
TOPEKA (AP) - Partisan sympathies
revalued at the state legislature yesterday.
the report, prepared for Senate Democrats by James W. Drury, director of the Legislative Research Department, was at a Senate Democratic caucus Thursday.
IT SAID AN average rate of growth of 8.9 per cent was needed for the state's balances to be maintained at the $70 million minimum.
Gov. Robert F. Bennett said in his budget message the state's historic growth rate was about 75 per cent annually. But the governor said the actual rate was more than double that.
"Obviously the governor includes some ancient history in his projection since recent experiments on the state general have far exceeded his 75 per cent estimate," Steiner said.
"THE AVERAGE GROWTH for the last five years has been closer to 16 per cent. Even if you discount the increase for 1974 and reduce that figure from 24.5 per cent to 15 per cent, we still have an average growth of approximately 14 per cent."
The Senate Democrats are advocating a tax reform package that includes an increase in the personal income tax exemption from $800 to $750; provides tax credits for persons with less than $10,000 annual adjusted income; exempts inmates from drug fines; extends homemested property tax relief to families with up to $10,000 annual income.
BENNETT HAS FORECAST that the state's balances will has total about $1 million at the end of fiscal 1980 without any tax cuts. The Republican leadership has agreed that the balance shouldn't be allowed to fall below that figure.
Voting split along party lines when the Senate Ways and Means Committee gave approval to a bill revising the state's Public Employer-Employee Relations Act.
Report says tax relief available
The bill was sent to the Senate floor after a vote to recommend it passed the committee, 8-3, with one Democrat, Billy Crawford of Wichita, joining seven Republicans.

"I spend two days per week at the Med Center, but try to compensate for this by working Saturdays and Sundays on the Lawrence campus," Dykes said.
"I have deliberately spent more time outside the University than I would personally prefer to spend because the securing of adequate resources such as the fiscal 1977 budget is important so that KU may be a University of high quality."
Dykes said that when the executive vice chancellor position at the Med Center was filled, he wouldn't have to spend the time at the Med Center.

IN OTHER ACTION, the Senate gave tentative approval to a bill allowing state senators to hear cases involving alleged violations of county charter resolutions, which is similar to authority cities already have to create new laws in certain districts. A final vote will come Friday.

The other bill, designed to bring the state into conformity on due process in the cases of students suspended or expelled, ran into similar legal hangups over its wording. Gear and Steinerge, succeeded in shipping the diplomatic Secretary for work on its language.

THE DECISION, which came one day after the panel finished three days of hearings on the malpractice issue, strengthens a measure that would have resulted in being only by those health care providers governed by the state Board of Healing Arts.
The committee rejected an amendment that would have forced persons bringing malpractice suits to disclose all other compensation they received for the claim. The proposal now before the committee requires disclosure only of compensation received from public funds, and not from private insurance policies.
