U.S. and Angola ease tensions
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration, in a revision of its policy toward strife-torn Africa, announced plans to mount diplomatic contact with Marxist Anxolata.
The administration's position, which stops
short of extending full diplomatic recognition, was disclosed by Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance in an address to the Board of Directors of the Members of Commerce in Atlantic City, N.J.
Vance said the United States would deal
Severe earthquake staggers Greek city
SALONIKA, Greece (AP) - A powerful earthquake struck *Salonika* last night, leveling buildings, killing at least 14 persons, killing more than 100, authorities reported.
The military was put on alert to keep order and to search for possible survivors.
The police said they thought many more victims were buried beneath the city's

Officials said that almost every building in the city—the second largest in Greece—has been inspected.

Witnesses reported seeing people jumping from balconies. Thousands fled in panic to the nearest building.
THE TREMOR reached 6.5 on the Richter scale, the nearest seismological institute
The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude.
An earthquake of 6 on the Richter scale can cause severe damage.
The earthquake struck at 5:03 p.m. CDT. Several buildings cracked by crackers that have been shaking Salonika for four weeks. The building was collapsed two apartment blocks, the police said.

Flu shot victim suits made easier
Washington (AP)—Those who contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome from swine flu shots in 1976 or who are related to those who contracted the disease will not have to prove negligence to get federal compensation for their injury or for their relative's death, the federal government announced yesterday.
However, the disease's victims still must prove that they contracted the disease, a rare one that paralyzes its victims, as a result of the shot, Joseph Caliano Jr., secretary of health, education and welfare, said at a press conference. Each individual claim also must be approved by the Justice Department.
ne victims will receive only a fraction of the hundreds of millions of dollars that many are seeking in the aftermath of the shooting. Most of the victims received the swine flu shots in 1976 during the unannounced shootings.

small risk of COVID-19 during Human Flu
Califano said that usually one person in 100,000 who received flu shots contracted the
virus.
Thus far, 1,483 claims have been filed against the government seeking damages of $775 million inclusive 120 claims in which deaths occurred.
Less than one-third of the claims involved the Guillain-Barré syndrome. Califano said the government was not waiving proof of negligence for the bulk of the claims, the ones made by patients.
However, he said the federal action yesterday would allow Guillain-Barre victims to get just compensation without going through protracted legal proceedings.
Sadat calls Israelis noncommittal
Cairo (AP)—Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said yesterday that Israel's reponses to questions that were raised in his speech on the restart Middle East peace talks were evasive and noncommittal but that the reponses did not cut off all possibilities of an eventual peace agreement.
"We are ready to discuss directly any new national television stations said in a nationally televised speech."
with Angola in more normal ways. He emphasized once more that the administration would not send U.S. military troops to Africa.
He said he was optimistic that the peace initiative he began by visiting Jerusalem in 2014 would end soon.
However, he said that the policy decision reached Sunday by Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin's Cabinet did not provide answers to assuming the tasks that broke off in January.
Israel, replying to U.S. questions on its plans for the future of the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip, said that the territories taken in the 1967 Mideast war.
"We have no intention of involving American troops on the continent," Vance said.
ISRAEL SAID IT it was its proposal to grant the 1.1 million Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip limited self-rule with continued Israeli military protection as a permanent deterrent against the future sovereignty of the territories after a five-year transition period.
Sadat said he thought the Israeli proposal was vague.
THE SPEECH was intended as an updated report on U.S. policy toward Africa, currently caught in the crossfire of U.S.-Soviet tensions.
"As the Israeli do, they left things up in the air," he said.
The administration, however, will support leitimate African defense needs, he said.
Vance said the U. policy remained one of supporting the independence of African countries and the aspirations of blacks under white rule in South Africa, Rhodesia.
He said Egypt would shift to a different Mideast policy if Israel did not eventually join the US.
"We can be neither right nor effective if we treat Africa simply as an arena for East-West rivalry."
Angola is one such area. Marxists backed by Cuban troops and supplied with Soviet weapons gained control of the former country in 1975 and began the two-Western-backed factions.
Overall, Vance's approach was conciliatory, although he repeated the administration's concern about large quantities of Cuban troops in certain parts of Africa.
UNTIL THERE is a significant backcut in the Cuban forces, the idea of normal diplomatic ties between Washington and Luanda is premature, a high-level U.S. official said earlier in the day at a briefing for State Department correspondents.
The official said there had been a number of recent exchanges between Vance and Angola's foreign minister, adding that the US would be aassador to Nigeria, recently visited Landa.
The official declined to be identified publicly.
Another U.S. official, also insisting on anonymity, said Angola had made diplomatic overtures to the United States and that it would welcome additional American investments.
Judge allows Nazi march in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP)—In a ruling that could avert a potentially violent confrontation between Nazis and Jews in Skokie, a predominantly Jewish Chicago suburb, a federal judge ordered Chicago to arrest a former daytime park park without posting an insurance bond.
A severe thunderstorm, bringing 65 mile-hour winds and an unconfirmed tornado, ripped through the Lawrence area early yesterday morning. The storm caused extensive damage to a building complex, power lines and trees.
Frank Collin, the leader of the National Socialist Party of America, refused to say whether the march planned for Sunday in Skokie will be canceled.
Storm damage surveyed
Collin said he wanted to review the judge's order to be sure there was not any precedent set that could interfere with the Nazis' right of free sneeze.
Rollt Holt, co-owner of Holiday Plaza at 25th and Iowa streets, said that about 10,000 square feet of a building expansion project had been destroyed by the apparent torrente

However, Collin has several times before that if the Nazis could march in Marquette Park, the plan to march in Skokie would be canceled.
John Kiefer, owner of Kief's Discount Records in Holiday Plaza, said he had watched when the storm destroyed the building.
Construction on the project was set back 30 days,he said.
He has said that the Skokie demonstration was planned to call attention to his group's inability to march in Chicago because of the $60,000 insurance bond.
"I was working at Kief and came out when I heard the noise," he said. "I looked at Gibson's all and was calm. But when I looked toward the expansion project all I could see were dirt cliffs and debris flying, of which being of being twisted and all it just collapsed."
U. S. DISTRICT Judge George Leighton ordered the Chicago Park District to drop it
HOLT SAID that they assumed the damage was caused by a small tornado because it struck a localized area of the project.

lumber, concrete blocks and electrical systems, he said.
Holt said that a steel post anchored in cement had been torn down and that there was minor roof damage to the occupied area of Holiday Plaza.
The Lawrence area remained under a tornado watch until 2 a.m. Monday.
Fred Bryan, division manager of Kansas Power and Light Co., said that at least two companies have signed an agreement.
Bryan said that about 1,500 people lost electricity in their homes between 11:22 and 11:50 p.m. after a tree limb was apparently lightning, causing damage to power lines.
The police blocked off the area near the fallen power lines.
The fallen power lines also caused a small grass fire and minor damage to the street
About 200 people were without power until 2 a.m.
In the Lone Star area southwest of Lawrence, lightning struck a power line, causing the loss of electricity to 500 residents between 12:15 and 12:30 a.m.
THERE WERE scattered reports of failures in the city, Bryan said, but repairs were underway.
KU police discovered at 11:19 p.m. that a 40-foot tree had fallen across Memorial Park.
Facilities Operations employees were notified and had cut the tree into sections and removed it from the road by early yesterday morning.
Lawrence firefighters were called out three times after power lines were reported knocked down. The firefighters stood by to be rescued when the ladder was waited while KKL personnel made repairs.
There were 2.49 inches of rain recorded in the Lawrence area during the storm.
Streets throughout the city were littered with tree limbs that had blown down during a storm.
Four inches of rain fell south and west of the city.
HEAVY RAIN, buil, haul winds and
snowstorms were reported in
parties of the lake.
At about 3 a.m., mile-on-hour winds and marbled size hail were reported in Wichita.
Several tornadoes were reported in the north central part of the state. A trailer and a school building were hit in northwest Hancock County, but no injuries were reported.
No rain is forecast for the next several days in the Lawrence area.
City confronts impasses
The Lawrence City Commission last night set today as the date that it would hold public study sessions with local police and firefighters' groups to resolve the impasses declared by both unions in their negotiations with the city.
THE REFERENDUM asks whether the public Building Commission shall issue *Recommendation* for the building.
Last years' agreements with both groups call for the City Commission to settle any disputes over a new agreement upon the declaration of an impasse.
Acting as the Lawrence Public Building Commission, the commissioners adopted a resolution that directs the county clerk's office to place the city ball referendum question on the Aug. 1 primary election ballot
construction of a new city hall on the old Bowerson site at Sixth and Sixth Avenue, directly across from
Commissioner Barkley Clark asked that the information include figures comparing the rent the city now pays for its offices with what the city will pay for a new city hall.
Commissioner Jack Rose instructed the city manager's office to make all information concerning the proposed city hall available to the citizen's group that sponsored the petition drive to put the bond question to a referendum.
"THE CITY IS comparable to an individual homeowner in that you do not save money by renting over the long run," Clark said.
In other action, commissioners considered for a third time a requesting request
for 10 acres just east of the Pine Tree

The commission also agreed to make public a resolution of intent to issue $500,000 in industrial revenue bonds for E & E Trust and to prove that a proposed a site plan submitted by Vickers Petroleum Co. of Wichita for revisions to the proposed site in the southeast corner of Ninth and nigh streets.
The commission finally approved the request last night and directed the city staff to investigate an alternative plan for development. The city has developed a development, to be called Fioral Estates.
The request had been deferred twice previously because of objections to the decision.
Spencer starts innovative musing
According to Greek mythology, the Muses were the nine daughters of Zeus and Mimosemone who were able to inspire them. Their abilities in mortals as well as in woods.
The arts of music, dance and painting have been incorporated into an innovative exhibit opening at the Sepncer Museum of Art today.
"IT'S SO UNQUE that we find it hard to explain exactly what we're doing." Saralyn Reece Hardy, grant coordinator, said.
"Musing through Museums," coordinated by Droo Brooke, director of museum education, integrates the fine arts through the symbolism of the Greek goddess.
"This has been done nowhere else in the country."
Brooking said, "A lot of museums will
have chamber music in the museum, but it doesn't relate to the art in the museum."
Supported by a two-year $90,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, each of the nine two-month programs will highlight one of the
Today's program will feature Erato, the Muse of Love.
"One issue I wrote in the grant was that we tend to see things in our society as fragmented sections rather than interrelated whales." Brooking said.
Each program features a variety of music—from classical to jazz—lectures and dance that complement the artwork.
"The June 24 program will be all music," Hardy said.
"It's called 'Heartstrings' and the
music will range from classical to musical comedy to love songs."
Designed to prepare the visitor for a self-guided tour through the exhibit, the lounge has wall panels used to explain between the Maces and museums.
ONE PANEL displays photographic reproductions of artwork illuminating Erato in artwork that ranges from classical Greek to Modern.
The panel also reveals the clues to a puzzle that is essential to the tour, according to Brooking.
"The games were designed as a means of increasing the visual perception to focus on artwork." Brooking said.
"We're intrigued about the building of the grant and that it's not going on anywhere else in the nation."
