Murals of many themes added to Capitol rotunda
TOPEKA (UP1) - The nation's first Republican presidential nominee has made a special appearance this week in the Capitol rotunda.
A historical panel depicting John C. Fremont, the 1856 Republican nominee, addressing Comanche, Pawnee and Crow tribes, several murals painted by Lumen Winter.
The murals are being mounted in the rotunda this week, just around the corner from the creations of Winter's predecessor, John Steur Curry.
Curry is perhaps best known in Kansas for his towering figure of John Brown on the wall across from the second floor murals in the 1940s.
But Curry left the series unfinished because of disputes with government leaders that ended with his departure because officials would not let him remove marble panels on the rotunda in the room for the remaining eight murals.
Winter, who took on the challenge of the marble panels, restricted space and protruding pilasters, watched his first two murals being glued to the plaster.
He said the pilasters gave the paintings a three-dimensional effect.
"I'm happy with how the murals harmonize with the marble," he said.
The 1976 the Legislature appropriated $40,000 to complete the mural project. Winter, a Kansas native, returned $1,000 and $500 to support her families living here and paying taxes.
The gray-haired artist worked 18 months in his Santa Fe N.J., MIA, research and painting. The results include memories from his boyhood, in addition to scenes of history, agriculture, industry and education.
One murual scape a scene of Quanrril's sacking of Lawrence. Others show agriculture, including sowing and threshing by hand, and Winter's "Madomma of the Plains," holding a sheaf of wheat.
Neutron bomb pondered
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A White House spokesman said yesterday that President Jimmy Carter was weighing the capability and intentions of the Soviet bloc and the incitations of NATO allies in trying to decide the fate of the neutron bomb.
"The president has made a final decision on the neutron bomb," press secretary Jody Powell said in discussing Carter's deliberations on whether to ban the radiation weapon or to put it into production for deployment in western Europe.
Some administration sources have said he thought Carter was learning against pressure from the Senate.
Powell said Warren Christopher, deputy
secretary of state, visiting Bonn, had inadvertently sent German officials that Carter's assessment in response to the attack.
- "The capability and the intentions of the warfare Pact forces vis-à-vis the NATO (to which they belong)".
- "The limitation on and reduction of forces in that part of the world."
- "The attitudes and inclinations of NATO allies. It is their territory which the weapon would be designed to protect and upon which it would be deployed.
- "The cost effectiveness of various web systems as they relate to one another"
BRUSESLS (AP) - Angry over rising unemployment, millions of Western European workers walked off their jobs, rallied in plants or demonstrated in the street yesterday in their first such international labor protest.

At least 31 trade unions representing some 40 million workers in 18 countries were calling for a strike.

Millions walk off jobs in Europe
Sadat calls for flexibility
CAHIRO (AP)—Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Behrain should be more flexible in peace negotiations, Eyagim Priebesi said. He emphasized that he favored Israeli Defense Minister Ezwai Weizman, seen as Begin's growing political rival, was welcome to return to Carweihen there.
Sadat spoke to an international group of journalists and academics in Cairo for a conference on news exchanges with the Third World.
At the end of February, the unemployment rate in the nine-nation Common Market was 5.9 per cent, or 6.26 million unemployed, compared to 5.04 percent in 1977 and 5.0 percent in 1976. Italy, Denmark and Sweden are the hardest hit by the loss of available jobs.
He was asked whether Begin personally was regarded as responsible for the current deadlock in the Israeli-Egyptian peace process.
MORE THAN 10 million Italian industrial and agricultural workers—about half the labor force—struck for four hours to protest both unemployment and the terrorist kidnapping of former Premier Adel Moe by the urban guerilla Red Brigades 35 days ago.
"WELL, I DON'T want to interfere in others' domestic problems," Satad said. "What I feel is this—Mr. Begin should be your friend, and you should be Weizman when he visited me last time."
Sadat also said that the estimated 30,000 Israelis who demonstrated in Tel Aviv over
By contrast, the jobless rate in the United States was 0.1 percent in February compared to 2.3 percent in November.
