NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—President Syrix Procyrus blamed Egypt yesterday for the crossfire between Cyript troops and Egyptian commanders at Larnaca airport but said he would ready to deploy himself meeting with Anwr Sadat, the Egyptian president.
"We are ready to do everything possible for the restoration of friendly relations between Cyprus and Egypt. Kypranion will also receive a favorable response from the Egyptian side."
KYPRIANOU SAID the Egyptian ambassador and military attack had been advised that two Arab terrorists who were holding 15 hostages aboard a hijacked
Cyprus Airways DC-8 had agreed to release their captives and surrender Sunday night. Despite this and Egyptian assurances that the captors had been freed, the assault was launched, he said.
"State forces had no alternative but to intervene and take action to save the hostages and to protect the sovereign rights of the Ccvoriot state," he said.
Kyriprion said he had received no official word from Egypt on its decision to have Cypriot and Egyptian diplomats withdrawn from Cairo and Nicosia. He said that, judging from news reports, the action did not mean breaking off relations.

Spokesmen for the automakers said they had been temporarily spared the most severe effects of the strike. A General Motors spokeswoman said the real hardships were during a week.

Medical school tuition bill gets committee approval
TOPEKA (AP)—A bill designed to encourage graduates of the University of Kansas Medical Center's School of Medicine was approved by the House Ways Committee.
The bill, already passed by the Senate, would make scholarships available to every medical student at KU who is willing to take up a full-time job in Kansas after completion of his training.
The obligation would be one year of
practice in Kansas for each year in which the student received financial assistance.

The bill will now go to the full House for consideration.

TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Senate yesterday agreed on the form of a bill that would make Laetrile legal in the treatment of cancer, and approved it for a final vote
The ramifications of this bill are serious and, we're opening up the box to a lot of sorts of it.
The bill, which would legalize manufacture, sale and use of the controversial marijuana trade in debate times, with supporters calling it an effort to respond to the wishes of a large number of state residents who were killed in 2013 as a last resort in terminal cancer cases.
In other action, the Senate tentatively approved a claim that would pay the parents of two murdered park rangerettes to live above funeral expenses for their daughters.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A four-fish U.S. Navy force, headed by the guided missile cruiser Fox, has entered the Indian Ocean, apparently in an attempt to show Ethiopia and Somalia that the United States dislikes the war between the two countries.
U.S. ships sent to Africa
The Pentagon said the voyage of the Fox, the frigates Stein and Ouellet and oler Hassayama was a routine deployment in an international naval operations in international waters. It
made no mention of the way, which has drawn Cuban and Russian military support
The Pentagon said the Navy ships would make port calls but did not say where. In the past, U.S. Navy vessels have made port calls in Kenya and Iran.
The Navy group entered the Indian Ocean on the Eastern Pacific Monday and is still far from the coast.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department, which two years ago resurrected the $2 bill, now wants to bring back its $100 note, a version of the one-popular silver dollar.
Revival of silver dollar, with changes,proposed
The department also told Congress it had rejected proposals to eliminate the half-dollar and that it wants to continue producing the penny indefinitely.
Discontinuation of the penny has been proposed because of its relatively high cost
The reason behind the proposed shift to copper dollar coins also is economic. The proposed coin will cost between two and three cents to produce and will last at least 15 years. A dollar bill costs only 1.7 cents to produce but wears out quickly.
THE TREASURY would continue to produce dollar bills if the silver dollar
"It is expected that the new dollar coin, sized between the quarter and half-dollar, would be more acceptable to the general public than the present dollar coin," Bette Anderson, unders secretary of the Treasury, said.
Anderson's remarks are in a Jan. 16 letter to the House coinage subcommittee, which will consider the changes before Congress acts on them.

As for the half dollar, the Treasury had said last year it wanted to get rid of this coin because it was unpopular. But An-nie said she would like the issue settled separately.
"Rather than requesting legislation to eliminate the half-dollar coin from our coupon system at this time, we deem it sufficient to curtail production of half-dollars until consumer demand indicates that full production is justified," she said.

The administration is hoping a dollar coin would supplement the $2 bill, which has had trouble catching on in two years of production.
THE HOUSE subcommittee will begin hearings this spring.

Terry Markaberry, special projects officer for the Treasury, said that if Congress approved the new coin this year, the government could include a million more coins next year.

Mrs. Molly Murphy pleaded with reporters today at her home in Duckville, Tennessee to help publicize the plight of her missing son, Paddy. "He was such a nice boy—just an all around neat guy. He has never been missing this long before, but I know someone will turn him up somewhere."
MRS. MURPHY TELLS PADDY'S STORY
She stated, "I remember when Jack and I found him under that train treadmill in Bonner Springs and when we lived in Mississippi He, was quarterback of the Rabbit County United Fighting Peltes. I remember playing the football he learned. That trailer before each game to put on his Fighting Pellet uniform, sing a few of the Pellet's fight songs, and smoke his White Hose."
"Paddy always had a quart or two of scotch, sometimes bouron, so as to warm up, and then he'd fill the two flasks he carried instead of thigh pads. I didn't like him playing football. It's such a rough game. One time he was hit so hard he swallowed his lil cigar, whole. I still worry about his whereabouts. I wish someone could find him."
Murphy, has been missing since Dec. 5th. Any information about his disappearance should be given to the SAE fraternity." "Paddy, if you can read this, please come home. We live in Tennessee now. Mom."
