U.N. forces move into Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - The first unit of a 4,000-man U.N. peacekeeping force moved into southern Lebanon yesterday as Israeli troops were advancing to observe a cold firefall.
Yassir Arafat's mainstream guerrilla group, Al Fatah, has orders to honor the cease-fire declared Tuesday by Israel, the Associated Press learned. But the radical
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, led by George Hashab, a part of Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization, vowed to demolish the cease-fire.
ABOUT 100 IRANIAN troops crossed into southern Lebanon from their posts in the Golan Heights to confront military positions. French officials said a reconnaissance party of 16
On issues that range from the Horn of Africa to the neutron bomb, Soviets and Americans have clashed, and each country has its own way it is waiting for the U.S. to change its stand.
THE LATEST SIGN of tension was President Jimmy Carter's speech Friday at Wake Forest University, in which he called for a strong defense program and bluntly told the Soviet Union to exercise military restraint.
Because each country wants it known that it will not give in to pressure from the other, analysts predict continuing tension that can only predict other major issues between the countries, including human rights and the SALT talks.
Similar 600-man contingents of Norwegians and Nepalese also are scheduled to visit the site.
MOSCOW (AP)—U.S. Soviet relations appear to have reached their lowest point in more than a year and many analysts think it will continue unless both sides show some flexibility.
The Soviet news agency, Tass, responded with unaccustomed speed, calling the speech alarming and saying it was a sign that Carter was moving from a policy of detente to one of threats and a buildup of tension.

U. S. SOVIET negotiations on a new SALT pact, which the Soviets call the centerpiece of detente, remain delayed by essentially the same issues as a year ago. These include the development of new missiles, the counting of missiles in each country's arsenal and the capabilities of the Soviet backfire bomber.
Americans were angered by the appearance of Soviet advisers and Cuban troops in Ethiopia, even though they were not a threat to repel an invasion by neighboring Somalia.
IN HIS WAKE Forest speech, Carter said that if the Soviets failed to show restraint in new programs and in their sending weapons and troops to other countries, U.S. support for social, scientific and economic ties with Moscow might wane.
The Soviets demand an end to plans for the proposed U.S. neutron bomb, which Soviet newspapers call the most dangerous weapon in the warfare races since the hydrogen bomb.

The Soviets have publicly promised that if the bomb is deployed, the Kremlin will be forced to take answering measures, including production of their own neutron bomb.
THE CHRISTIANS have been fighting, with Israel's support, against the Palestinians and leftist Moslem Lebanese since the 1975-76 civil war.

Bill proposes highway to link KC and Texas
WASHINGTON (AP)—Rep. Joe Skubitz, R-Kan, introduced a bill yesterday in Congress to build an interstate highway from Kansas City, Mo., to Houston, Texas, to increase employment and trade along the highway, he said.
The four-lane, limited access highway would follow U.S. 89 through eastern Kansas to Miami, Oka: U.S. 89 to Pueblo, Oka: U.S. 90 to Texas, Texas; and U.S. 9-19 to Houston.
Interstates 35 and 45 already provide an unbroken four-lane route from Kansas City to Detroit, but Skubbz said the new 680-mile route will allow travel conditions between the cities.
Liquor by the drink bill gets preliminary approval
TOPEKA (AP) – A bill to bring liquor by the drink to Kansas by abolishing the 10-day waiting period and membership fee for all employees, approval by the Kansas Senate.
The bill squeaked on by a bare majority—

seen. Tom Rehorn, D-Kansas City, offered the amendment to include the waiting period and membership fee, saying the new requirement, numbersome and often go unenforced.
THE SUCCESS OF REHORN's proposal clearly came as a surprise to many members in the chamber, especially long-standing liquor-by-the-drink opponents who watched with astonishment as the number of votes was counted.
generally nonprofit social, fraternal and veterans clubs.
UNDER THE BILL as approved yesterday by the Senate, all 959 private clubs in Kansas would be treated alike. According to the Alcohol Beverage Control Division, there are 468 Class B clubs and 491 Class A clubs.
Rehorn said he suspected that in many cases the 10-day waiting period was not being enforced and he argued that such a difference would more than breed contempt for the law.
Rehon, long, an opponent of Kansas' strict and complicated luxury laws, offered his proposal as an amendment to a bill that would give the ABC director authority to decide which clubs qualify for Class A status and which qualifier for Class B.
IN OTHER ACTION, the Senate gave tentative approval yesterday to legislation that expands the role of physician's assistants in Kansas, which supporters say will help ease the medical personnel shortage in rural areas.
In approving the bill, senators rejected a
move to permit assistants to prescribe drugs.
On final action yesterday, the Senate approved and sent to the House a bill designed to increase accessibility to new buildings for physically handicapped. The vote was 32-3.
KANSAN  COULD RECEIVE $22.7
million to $25.7 million in tax relief under
bills tentatively approved by the House
today.
Most of the relief would go to farm families.
The House action was a declaration that it wants the bills considered when the final decisions on spending priorities are made.
AMONG OTHER THINGS, the bills would;
- Exempt the sales tax on the sale of used farm machinery and equipment, parts and repair services. This is estimated to reduce tax burden on farmers by $6 million a year.
- Increase homeestead property tax relief benefits and extend them to more people. It is estimated that this would reduce the tax burden on people who qualify by $10 million to $13 million a year.
