Court OKs canal cessions
WASHINGTON (UP1)—The U.S. Court of Appeals, in a split decision, ruled yesterday that the United States could cede the Panama Canal to Panama without approval by the House.
In a 2-1 decision, the Court of Appeals uphold a federal district court in dismissing a suit by Rep. Mickey Edwards, R-Oklah, and 65 other congressmen.
In the suit, the congressman in the canal and other U.S. property in the Canal Zone could not be transferred to the House without approval by the House as well as the Senate.
JUDGES CHARLES FAHY and George McKinnon dissented.
The appeals court said the clause in the Constitution, which stated that Congress must dispose of all U.S. property and territory, was not an exclusive method contemplated by the Constitution for disposing of federal property.
"We hold that the United States is not prohibited from employing an alternative means constitutionally authorized," the major said, adding that President Carter's decision to use the thick-snapping was clearly following the Constitution.
McKINNON, IN HIS DISSENT, said, "To the extent that the president may have discretion to choose between proceeding by treaty or other forms of international agreement, he cannot avoid the constitutional requirement that the entire Congress pass on all attempts to dispose of foreign territory and property to other nations.
"All past practices in this field indicate that prior presidents have recognized that obligation even when property of much less value and significance was involved."
Unlike the appeals court, the district court did not rule on the merits of the complaint, but only on the fact that it was in
Stronger S. African ban likely
WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Jimmy Carter is prepared to take stronger economic steps against South Africa if the white government heightens its oppression of the black majority, an administration official said yesterday.
The official discussed Carter's trip to Nigeria and Liberia in the context of developing crises in efforts to establish major rule in southern Africa. Ground rules prevented the official from being quoted directly.
THE UNITED STATES has two points of issue with South Africa—the white government's policy of apartheid and its relentless attack on non-white communities the traditional name for South West Africa.
During the visit, Olusegun Obasanjo, head of oil-rich Nigeria and an emerging African leader, praised Carter's efforts to establish black majority rule in Zimbabwe, the African name for Rhodesia and independence for Namibia.
Carter has acknowledged that Obasanjo tried to push him farther on South Africa's back.
Senate affirms sale of liquor in restaurants
The Senate accepted the amendment approved on an hour earlier by the House July 23, 2015.
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Legislature took a historic step toward giving state citizens a measure of liquor by the drink last night when the Senate concurred with House amendments to a bill allowing restaurants to serve mixed drinks.
That sent the bill to Gov. Robert F. Brown in the past has supported olympic events.
Under the amendment, liquor could be sold in any restaurant in which money from the sale of food accounted for at least 50 percent of the establishment's receipts.
REP. MICHAEL GLOVER, D-Lawrence, proposes the liquor-in-restaurants proposal as an amendment to a bill to transfer control of the licensing of retailers, wholesalers and distributors of light 32 percent alcoholic content beer from the Division of the Division of Taxation to the director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.
THE PROPOSED IS not new, but previous attempts to pass it in recent sessions have failed.
The Senate approved yesterday and sent to the House an appropriations bill amended to include the $200,000 sought by the Senate to establish a new state medium security prison.
The Democratic-controlled House has refused to appropriate the money this week to pay for a lawyer to be resolved in a conference committee. Reportedly, Bennett has told legislators he may veto a package of community events bills if he doesn't get the prison funding.
The key vote in the Senate came on a motion to delete the planning money. It was opposed by many lawmakers.
The steps presumably would embrace further economic sanctions sought through the United Nations. The official said the steps would directly affect South Africa's economic relations within the U.N. community.
THE UNITED STATES initiated an arms embargo against South Africa last November and the United Nations followed suit. The U.S. has been charged in attempts to evade the ban.
Carter hinted at this when he told reporters that if South Africa rejected a
Western proposal for self-rule in Namibia, it could lead to a more serious disagreement with the government.
The official said neither South Africa nor SWAPO, the black nationalist organization, has said if it would accept the western proposal.
The official also said Carter thought there was a chance Prime Minister Ian Smith's white government in Rhodesia would accept the U.S.-British invitation for a conference of all parties in the dispute there, possibly April 25 in Dar sa Salaam, Tanzania.

In a speech prepared for a nationwide hookup of Republican fund raising dinners, Ford said the record of the Democratic Party has far was giving the GOP a new lease on life.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Former President Gerald R. Ford referred to himself as a candidate last night when he said any Republican presidential contender, himself included, could do a better job than President Jimmy Carter.
"The fastest way to pump new life into the Republican Party is to turn the country over to the Democrats for a while." Ford said. "The longer we are out, the better we look.
"AND I SAY we, 'emphatically,' Ford added. "The quality and experience of any Republican candidate-Howard Baker, George Bush, John Connellly, Bob Dole, Reagan or Jerry-surprises unquestionably the leadership we currently have."
The six men Ford named as candidates are among the leading contenders being mentioned for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination.
Although it is no secret Ford is keeping a watchful eye on the political situation leading up to 1980, this was the first time he publicly referred to himself as a candidate.
NONE OF THE men he named has an-
