Compromise reached on treaty
WASHINGTON (AP)—Panamanian officials and a key senator say they will accept a compromise definition of U.S. intervention rights in Panama, boosting prospects for final Senate ratification of the canal treats today.
Sen. Dennis DeConcilin, D-Ariz., agreed yesterday to a compromise on the issue of whether the United States could take any action to keep the canal open in the future.
THE COMFROMISE provision does not limit this right, but do reaffirm the U.S. policy against intervention in the internal affairs of foreign countries, DeConciini said.
Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd, DW-Va, indicated earlier that the language was acceptable to the Panamanian government. He said Panamanian Ambassador Gabriel Lewis called it "a damnified solution to a difficult problem."
DECONCINI SAID he could not speak for any other senators, but the compromise was as making narrow ratification of the treaty more likely by the Senate today. The first treaty, dealing with the neutrality of the canal, passed 68-32, one vote margin.
Several senators had sided with the Arizona Democrat in insisting on the reservation, but some treaty backers did not. The政协的平粟 untouched the provision was softened.
SEN. GEORGE MCGOVERN, D-S.D., who had said he could not vote for the pact with DeConcia's reservation attached, and compromise "generally acceptable."
DeConcini said the compromise was a mixture of language proposed by him and by Senate Democratic leaders last week. The entire process, he said, was managed by the leaders, with Carter administration officials taking no significant role.
THE LANGUAGE WILL be introduced by the Senate leadership with DeConcini as a co-sponsor, in an amendment to the intention of ratification on which the Senate is to vote.
Meanwhile, about 100 Panamanian students hurled pain canisters against the U.S. embassy walls in Panama City in a bombing that was attended by the Demonstration was broken up by
Panamanian national guardsmen throwing tear gas grenades.
SENATORS ON BOTH SIDES predicted a chance on the pact, which provides for the United States gradually to transfer waterway to Panama by the year 2000.
Ten senators were in the uncommitted column yesterday, but the efforts of treaty foes were being directed toward capturing the votes of four of them—all supporters of the first pact who have indicated they might onoseach the second one.
The four were identified as Howard Cannon, D-Nev.; Focky Haskell, D-Cole; Samuel Hayakawa, R-Callif; and Edward Brooke, R-Mass.

Corrections plan set for local programs
Gov. Robert F. Bennett signed into law yesterday a bill that sets minimum levels of accessibility in public buildings for the handicapped and allowed to become law without his signature a bill establishing a community corrections program in Kansas.
Forwarded to the secretary of state without Bennett's signature was a bill instituting a plan of county operated correction camps in Kansas.
A bill signed by Bennett requires all new government buildings built after Jan. 1, 1979, to comply with accessibility standards and American National Parks Institute.
A bill that provides funding for the prison never made it out of the Legislature and is now being rewritten.
Bennett had previously threatened to veto the corrections bill unless the Legislature appropriated $200,000 in planning funds for a new medium security prison.
The community corrections program, designed during an interim legislative study this summer, was fashioned after the so called "Minnesota plan."
BENNETT SAID that although he had serious reservations about the bill because of its complexity, he did not wit it because a community corrections bill was needed by him.
Any county could participate on a voluntary basis by requesting a grant from the secretary of corrections. Each county would also have to establish a corrections advisory board and a general corrections board, both directed by the secretary before receiving a grant.
The size of the grants would be determined on the basis of a county's income, crime rate and population. Bennett said that he favored a plan of first-come, first-serve for the county grants. He also said there was no ceiling on the amount the state would have to pay for community corrections under the program.
INCLUDED IN THE accessibility hill is a provision that requires any public building remodeled at a cost of more than 25 percent of replacement value to comply with the building code.
Under the early Senate version of the bill individuals would have been able to sue building owners for actual damages in connection with a fire, was not accessible to the handicapped.
This provision of the bill was eliminated by a conference committee before being passed.
Enforcement of the accessibility standards will be regulated by a combination of
Desai reveals U.S., India planted monitoring devices
He also told Parliament that one nuclear fuel pack lost in the mountains 13 years ago.
NEW DELHI, India (AP)—Prime Minister Morarji Desi revealed yesterday that a secret mountainering mission to plant nuclear-powered monitoring devices on the Himalaya high peaks was a joint operation of the U.S. and India governments.
Desal's disclosures about the operation—designed to monitor Chinese nuclear arms development—defused a potential crisis in relations between India and the United States.
THE 82-YEAR-OLD prime minister confirmed the general outline of the first public report on the mission, in a U.S. magazine last week, but he disputed the magazine's assertion that the CIA mounted the expedition in the mid-1960s with the cooperation of Indian intelligence agents, but without the Indian government's knowledge.
The decision to go ahead with the plan was made at the highest levels by the two governments, Desai said under questioning in Parliament.

Soviet desires Waldheim talk
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —Soviet diplomat Arkady Shevchenko met Sunday night with Russian representatives and told him his refusal to return to Moscow was a personal decision and did not involve external coercion, his lawyer said yesterday.
Shevchenko also wants an early opportunity to meet with his boss, U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, to exchange ideas on the new return hope, attorney Ernest K. Gross said.
The exact status of the 48-year-old diplomat was unclear. Walheim said earlier that Shevchenko was resigning his $87,000-a-year post as the highest-ranking Soviet official in the United Nations, but Gross then denied such suggestions.
Gross said that Sunday night's 45-minute meeting in the attorney's New York office was called at the request of the Soviet Union to explain that the representative of the State Department sat in as an observer. He declined to identify the participants.
The Himalaya mission was undertaken shortly after China's first atomic explosion in 1864 and two years after the Chinese had defeated India in a border war.
The U.S. magazine Outside had reported that CIA climbers were caught in a blizzard and left a 128-pound plutonium-powered instrument at the 23,000-foot level of 25,645-foot Nanda Davi Mountain. It said the team returned the following spring but found that the equipment had been swept away by an avalanche.
