There was no warning before the explosion, which came after police questioned eight persons in connection with the latest outbreak of bombings in London.

Index shows slowdown
WASHINGTON--The government's index designed to spot future economic trends shows a moderate recovery.
The Commerce Department said its composite of a dozen individual economic statistics shipped nine-tenths of one per cent in September after climbing eight-fold.
Victor Zarnowitz, the University of Chicago Business Professor who helped redesign the composite index in May, said even if the figures continue to fall for the year, they are still a good indicator of growth.
Ford offers some aid
WASHINGTON—President Gerald R. Ford asked Congress yesterday to approve legislation ensuring police and fire protection and other essential services if
But Ford announced for the first time he will veto any legislation that provides federal debt guarantees or other financial help for the beleaguered city.
In a speech before the National Press Club, Ford proposed amending federal bankruptcy laws to prevent New York City's creditors from tying up the city's property.
He said that would make it possible for the city to use its remaining revenues, including federal revenue-sharing or special borrowing, to provide this protection.
New York Mayor Abraham D. Beane called Ford's proposal "nothing less than a declaration of deafness by the White House—a default of presidential leader-

Commissioner Fred Pence said it was

necessary for the city to sell the need for a good airport to the citizens of Lawrence. The citizens have voted against building a new airport in the past.
A good airport would bring more revenue into the city, Pence said. Now, he said, Wichita and Kansas City, Mo., get all the fees that aviators pay to use airports. Lawrence could use some of this money, he said.
Halloween Special
According to Lynn F. Taylor, dean of the school, the Kansas Center for Public Education Religion Studies will train teachers and conduct research in religion.
Taylor said last week that a facility for the center should be completed by late June. The center will be held in Smith Hall, and will include offices, study rooms and a forum area for meetings.
Phyllis Floyd, business manager for the company, said it would $b$ funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Beaume cited New York's large Jewish population in favor of the Zionism solution in reply to the FO administration's request to greet Sadat. Zionism is the advocacy of a Jewish minority group.
Taylor said, "No good public curriculum is now available. There are a few books at the secondary school level, but none at all at the primary level."
He said that material published by various churches would be used in the curriculum, but that the curriculum would be a publication of the center.
"We want to put together books without a slant," he said.
The center's curriculum will be ready for publication within a year, he said.
According to Taylor, 92 per cent of secondary schools have some study of chemistry.
"Many times religion is taught in a bad way," he said. "The study of religion is not appropriate."
Taylor has been conducting summer institutes for public school teachers for several years. These institutes have been given to teachers around the state.
The instruction and curriculum offered by the center will help teachers to remain active in teaching.

The institutes last two weeks. They include discussions, work sessions and instruction by KU professors and other lecturers.
Last summer, institutes in Garden City, Hays, Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan., were attended by more than 100 teachers. Taylor said that the program would continue this summer and expand in the future, if possible.

According to Floyd, the Dane Hansen Foundation, Logan, Kansas, funds the institutes. The foundation offers scholarships that cover the cost of the session for the teachers. The scholarships are given to him on a first come, first serve basis, she said.
Taylor said that the program should spread across the state quickly, and that most church officials would support the effort. He said he could foresee no legal problems.
Teachers and school administrators had been receptive to the idea, he said. Teachers in the summer institutes had been imaginative and enthusiastic.
