U.S. accused of bias in Mideast
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel said yesterday that the United States was taking sides in Middle East peace negotiations when Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance last week condemned Israeli settlements in occupied Arab lands.
The accusation, set forth by an Israeli cabinet resolution, was the sharpest one made so far against the United States by Benjamin Netanyahu in eight-month-old conservative government.
The resolution was adopted unanimously at the regular weekly cabinet meeting.
Begin's government declared its regret and protest over Vance's remarks that occurred at a news conference in which it said that Israel settlements in occupied Arab territories should not exist and that he supported a Palestinian homeland on Israeli-controlled land.
after Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat's talks at Camp David, Md., with President Jimmy Carter. Sadat requested an increased American pressure on Israel for flexibility on the settlement and Palestinian questions.
Vance's comments came less than a week
Egyptian-Israeli talks appear to be at a stalemate over thos issues. Sadat, continuing his international tour, which is intended to seek support for Egypt's
positions, asked, along with Romanian President Nicoleca Ceauescu for resumption of multilateral Mideast talks to prepare for a reconvened Geneva peace conference.
The Israeli statement said Israel thought the settlement program always had been legitimate and essential. The U.S. government has said repeatedly that the settlements are illegal and an obstacle to peace.
Study continues in Wichita 'B.T.K.' murders
WICHTIA (AP)—The police continued their investigation yesterday into the B.T.K. strangler case. Detectives followed up hundreds of telephone tips about a man who says he has slain seven persons in Wichita since 1974.
"We've had literally hundreds of calls, most from very rational, mature-thinking individuals," Police Chief Richard LaMunyon said. "We are running down any information that might be of value to the investigation."
Despite the many calls, LaMunyon said police had no concrete deaths or suspects or injuries.
LAMUNYOON SAID the killer indicated in
that B.T.K. stood for Bind,
Torture.
La Munyon said Friday that a letter had been sent to KAKE-TV in Tehran by a man called himself "the B.T.K. strangler" who killed seven and who threatened to kill again.
The letter indicated that six of the seven victims were strangled in their homes, LaMunyon said, but the killer did not disclose the identity of the seventh victim. LaMunyon said the police were not sure who that victim was.
Burger urges lawyers to raise court standards
"Until we establish special standards for the right to appear in the courts, independent of admission to the bar generally, we must declare the 'obstacle' he told about 2,000 ABA delegates.
NEW ORLEANS (UP1)—Chief Justice Warren Burger yesterday said many lawyers who try cases in court are in danger of losing their jobs. Bar Association to do something about it.
In his annual State of the Judiciary speech to the association's midyear meeting, Burger said that allowing first-year lawyers to practice in court was analogous to allowing first-year medical school graduates to perform surgery.
"THE NEEDS OF a modern courtroom can be analogized to the needs of the modern operating room in which the surgeon carries on his duties. In each situation . . . special training and skills are not simply desirable; they are imperative in the public interest."
Burger's views on the subject, stated several times before, have angered lawyers. The Illinois State Bar Association has asked the ABA's governing board to demand proof from Burger that the criticism is justified.
Carole K. Bellows, president of the Illinois bar, said after the speech that Burger had toned down his criticism. But she said the group still would ask the ABA House of Delegates to seek proof or a retraction from Burger.
"THERE'S ALWAYS a problem of improving competence of delivery of services in any kind of profession," she said. "He welcomes the attention focused on the problem and he did not repeat the statement which we were objecting so strenuously."
Burger stressed that he was referring only to courtroom performance and not to the general ability of lawyers, and that he was pleased that law schools and bar colleges had recently been designe new programs to improve skills in trial court work.

Professional commission sets high jail standards
WASHINGTON(AP) - The nation's jails should provide each inmate with at least 60 square feet of cell space and should house juveniles and adults in separate quarters, a professional accreditation commission said yesterday.
"The standards are high," the report from the Commission on Accreditation for Corrections said. "Attaining them will not be an easy task."
The commission, a private group that represents the nation's state and local penal administrators, published 382 articles in the Commission. The estimated 4,000 local laws in the country.
COMMISSION SPOKESWOMAN Sharon Winkler estimated that not more than 5 percent could comply fully now. Facilities that comply with the standards may seek commission accreditation, a process that requires an investigation of as much as two years.
The space requirements may be the most difficult to meet. Jails in many parts of the country are becoming overcrowded because state and federal prisons are themselves crowded far beyond capacity. This means more and more prisoners must

be held in local jails while awaiting transfer to a prison.
MORE THAN 100 jails are under court orders to improve conditions, and most of them have been vacated.
The commission called it essential that jail cells have at least 60 square feet of floor space, provided inmates spend no more than 10 hours a day locked in their cell. On the other hand, longer periods, there should be at least 70 square feet of space, the commission said.
The basic requirement is half the size of the 10-by-12-foot bedroom common in many family homes and hardly larger than an ordinary-sized bathroom.
Each cell should contain toilet facilities, wash basin, bunk, desk, shelf, hooks or closet space, and chair or stool, the commission said.
"Recent court decisions have emphasized the importance of housing inmates in single-occupancy cells or rooms, the commission said. "Single-occupancy inmates private and protection help reduces serious among inmates."
DORMITORY-TYPE CELLS should house no more than 16 inmates with 50 square feet for each person, and this type would be phased out, the commission said.
