U.S. ships collide
GAFTA, Italy. A nighttime collision between the U.S. airplane carrier John F.飞机和美国海军舰艇 Eastly killed at head of fast fryer and injured 16, the U.S. Navy said in a statement.
The Navy 6th fleet headquarters in Gaeta said three of the dead were from the balapm and one was from the Kennedy. Five of the 16 injured were reported in
The Navy gave no explanation for the crash, but Adm. David H. Bagley, commander-in-chief of U.S. Naval forces stationed in London, ordered an in-
Gurneu to be retried
MIAMI—Former Sen. Edward J. Gurney, who was acquitted of five charges in an alleged influence pleading scheme, now faces months of uncertainty as a new trial begins.
A jury acquitted Gurney of five charges: bribery, accepting unlawful compensation and three counts of lying to a grand jury.
According to trial jury members, the panel split 7-5 for not guilty on a conspiracy count for Gurney and 9-3 for guilty on a perjury court. Those are the two charges that Gurney will face in the retrial, set to begin Jan. 5 in Orlando. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
Reds reported in Angola
MOCOSC—The Soviet news agency Tass has labeled as a “provocative forgery” the statement that a pro-Moscow liberation group (MPLA) in Angola's civil war had captured fighting with a pro-Moscow liberation group (MPLA) in Angola's civil war.
The Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) said Thursday in Lusaka, Zambia, that the Russians were taken prisoner during the recent capture of an air force officer.
Angola just gained independence from Portugal after 500 years of colonial rule. The MPLA, UNITA and a third group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Angola, are locked in a bloody contest for control of the mineral-rich, southwestern African territory.
NYC tax plan blocked
ALBANY—With Gov. Carey's $200 million plan to avert a default by New York City next month in japonyza, the state is making efforts today to halt the proposal but not propose back together.
But as negotiations on the tax package continued yesterday, there was no evidence of a breakthrough in the partisan deadlock that blocked legislative ap-
Dockina charges dropped
TOPERA—GEORGE R. Docking, of former Gov. Robert Docking, and Richard Malloy, aides to the governor, no longer face criminal charges in his case.
They had been charged in connection with the awarding of architectural and engineering contracts for expansion and renovation of the University of Kansas.
Shawnee County District Court Judge E. Newton Vickers dismissed conspiracy to commit bribery against Dennis Demation for a verdict in the case of Dennis Demation had been charged with bribery.
New evidence introduced by the prosecution led to the dismissals. The prosecution had contended that their receiving contracts had been required to comply with a statute of limitations.
Response by area legislators to the possibility of a tax cut for Kansas taxpayers was less than optimistic last week. State Reps. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, and Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, and State Sen. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence, doubted that any tax cut introduced when the legislature convenes in January would be passed.
The legislators commented on the suggestion of Sen. Norman Gaar, R-Shawne Mission, who said last week that the nation had just 467 million justified looking into a tax cut.
Gov. Robert F. Bennett, who plans to balance the state's budget by fiscal 1980, said he would always consider a "properly constructed" tax cut if expenditures were kept down and an $80 million reserve maintained. But he believed that at least $20 million this fiscal year and for similar amounts yearly until fiscal 1980.
Booth said that he wasn't very familiar with the suggested cut, but that the existence of a large reserve fund didn't necessarily mean a tax cut was in order.
Solons see no tax cuts
"It's very easy, very popular to talk about a tax cut," he said. "It suits everybody. But the people of Kansas expect progress to be made, maybe not through new programs but certainly by supporting existing ones. There is a lot of work that states in which to spend surpluses, such as picking up the tab for cost increases at KU."
Buzzed, "Any way a cut can be made responsibly, I'm for it. But I really don't see how it can be done with the programs and obligations we have. It would take an extra year to put it together, but about a cut that would mean anything, but I'd say it's a little premature to tell now."
Glover said he won't sure what kind of work, cut Gauar had in mind, but said it probably would come in the form of investigators for dependents on state income taxes.
Glover said, "I doubt whether the glomerulature will enact one (a tax cut), but I think it is a good idea."
The present Kansas exemption for a dependent is $600, $150 below the federal level, he said. By increasing the amount to match the federal exemption, he said, the individual's taxable income would be lowered, saving him with more money.
tax a tax cut Glover will introduce will be a circuit breaker sales tax, which is a sales tax on all purchases.
City to act on garage-site price
If the Lawrence City Commission accepts the price tag set on the site for the proposed city maintenance garage, the city will probably get its long-awaited garage by late spring, Mayor Barkley Clark said yesterday.
"We'll act on it at Tuesday night, and "I would guess we'll accept it," Clark said. "Then we'll move right ahead and get construction within 60 days or so."
A panel of three court-appointed appraisers Thursday filed reports in the Douglas County District Court appraising the 12 acres of needed land at 12th and 13rd Street, $83,700 more than twice the city's appraisal of $41,000 for the same land last May.
Assistant City Manager Mike Wildgeren said that both parties involved had 30 days to appeal the assessed valuation to a jury. The city is examining the anorexia, he said.
The land, owned by Orvile Ray, 918 E.
12th St., also has Ray's Garage and
Salvage. The garage site has been in dispute
between the proposed land and the
proposed garage there last spring.
Ray originally sought an injunction against the city's condemnation of his property in early September. The city then negotiated a sales agreement with Ray and, as part of it, Ray applied for a land tax to rezone his garage property from residential to industrial.
Under the agreement, the city commission agreed to pay $46,000 to Ray if the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission agreed to resone the property.
When the commission voted down the reorganization, Mr. Sanders planned commission. Ray dropped his
injunction against the property condemnation in compliance with the agreement. The agreement stipulated that the injunction was to be dropped with prejudice, which prevented reinstitution of the property, and the case went to condemnation.
Clark said the assessed valuation of the property was higher than expected but stressed that the new appraisal included the purchase price added in the earlier sales figure of $46,000.
Under the old agreement, in addition to paying Ray $46,000, the city also had said it would move Ray's cars and equipment from the site and give him part of a lot acquired by the city for access to the garage site. However, the city is no longer under obligation to fulfill that part of the agreement.
Clark said the city had been expecting to spend about $80,000 for the site anyway so the higher appraisal wasn't really surprising.

He said the cut would be a bale given through income tax returns on a scale graduated to income. The cutoff level would be the joint income of $15,000 for a family, he said.
Glover said his cut would put more spending money into pockets. He said he didn't know how much it would cost to implement his tax cut.
Such a cut would be a progressive, rather than regressive, cut. A sales tax rebate would refund money to those people whose income exceeds the taxes in proportionately highest, he said.
Booth said the $80 million target reserve recommended by Bennett was a reasonable figure in the opinion of the financial experts he had contacted.
He said the reserve was a contingency fund for times of large expenditures but
Glover said there was good reason to return tax money not spent by the state. But he said Kansas spent nearly $23 million more than its income each year, which eventually would force either a tax increase or a reduction of services.
added, "I'd be surprised if there's any major problem with finances. The state's in pretty good shape."
"The main problem is the Kansas property tax structure," he said. "After an income level of $1,400, the property tax is a straight 6 per cent. It should be more severe if the tax burden will get a break. The tax burden should shift to the middle and upper income levels.
"But (Atty, Gent, Curt) Schneider would run against Bennett if the governor raised taxes for the middle classes. Bennett is probably reluctant to give a tax cut until he can change the tax structure to ensure a balanced budget."
