Jackson foresees
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Henry M. Jackson, chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, raised the possibility yesterday that Congress might approve a compromise energy bill this year that omits natural gas pricing.
pricing. Price controls on natural gas but at higher levels is a major element of President Jimmy Carter's Energy program. The House approved that but the Senate voted to lift the controls after two years.
JACKSON, D-WASH., said the White House seemed unwilling to accept any compromise that contained natural gas deregulation, even though it is gradual.
"The administration is going to be very tough and I'm pleased," he said.
But getting a bill out of a House-Senate conference committee that endorses Carter's proposal for continued controls will be viewed in detail of the Senate vote, Jackson said.
HE INDICATED that the Carter administration might prefer no bill to one that includes even a gradual lifting of price controls from natural gas.
bill omitting natural gas controls
"The administration holds all the cards," Jackson said. "Either there is no bill and the price for natural gas remains at $1.46 per month, or it gets too expensive with dhalerguine, the President will veto it."

accept legislation that led to the removal of controls.
House Speaker Thomas P. "TIP" O'Neill, however, said he still had high hopes that the conferences could agree on natural gas legislation that would be signed by Carter.
Jackson, who is the head of the Senate team of conference, disclosed that the issue of natural gas pricing was so controversial that a committee from the conference committee would consider.
THAT WAY AN impasse would not
He said he would work hard to get the conferences to adopt a compromise that kept price controls on interstate gas and that extended them to the intrastate market.

But, he said, this will be difficult because the Senate conferees on natural gas pricing are so evenly divided between Carter's plan and deregulation.
regulated at a price ceiling of $1.46 per thousand cubic feet if sold to interstate pipelines. It is free from regulation if used inprastate.
HE MADE THE comments a day before confeerees planned their first meeting to fashion a compromise energy bill. The house passed the President's program almost intact, but the Senate has rejected most of its major components.
Natural gas, which has seen a four-fold increase in prices since 1973, is now
intrastate markets while setting a higher price. In contrast, the market begins at 17.15 per cubic cubic feet.
THUS GAS PRODUCERS are reluctant to sell their gas to the interstate market when they can get prices of up to $1 per thousand cubic feet more by selling it within gas-producing states. This situation has led to surpluses of gas in Gulf Coast states and shortages in the industrial Northeast and Midwest.
Carter sought to eliminate this dual market by extending price controls to the
DESPITE CARTER'S threat of vetting a bill containing deregulation, the Senate voted to do just that, after a fierce 2½-week floor debate.
Jackson had offered a compromise toward the end of the natural gas debate that would phase out price controls after nine years. It was endorsed reluctantly by the industry, and it precluded preferable to the industry-supported deregulation hill the Senate went on to adopt.
West Germans rescue hostages, kill hijackers
BONN, West Germany (AP)—West German commandos stormed a hijacked Luftbahn jettier under cover of darkness at Somalia's Mogadishu airport early today, rescued all 48 hostages aboard and killed at least one of the four hijackers, officials reported.
The commandos stormed the plane through emergency exits on both wings, a technique they had practiced on a similar plane, a Luhanshina spokesman said. He
saa there was some shooting, but details of the raid were sketchy.
INFORMED SOURCES said the raiders found that the hijackers had placed explosives inside the plane and poured them into the cockpit, but apparently had no time to ignite them.
The sources said the hostages were buckled in their seats. The Lufthansa spokesman said there was no panic, and the hostage were quickly evacuated down inflatable slides.
"the hostages of Mogadishu are free," a government spokesman, Karl Boelling, said. "We are thankful that the people of Mogadishu have survived this brutal hijacking."
BOELLING SAID one passenger was taken to a hospital "in a state of collapse" and one German commander was injured. Other passengers received medical treatment at the East African airport, but the extent of their injuries was not known.

Washburn University in Topeka will allow a women's honor society there to remain single-sex until the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) takes action, according to Chuck Blackmire, a legal representative for the sorority.
NUNOSO, which stands for the Washburn motto "Non Nobis Solum," is a senior faculty member of the group. The security holds itself exempt from Title IX regulations concerning discrimination in campus organizations, the school's athletic team, the group and affirmative action worker.
The sorority does not receive university funds but is allowed to use university facilities.
"We're a service organization," Vogel said. "We are an honorary but we put in a lot of work."
TITLE IX is part of a discrimination ruling prohibiting sex discrimination in campus-affiliated or university-supported organizations.
SIGMA ALPHA IOTA, a University of Kansas women's honor society, received a statement from HEW that the group was exempt from Title IX because it was a social organization and not a professional honorary. However, it lost its affiliation with the University. Mu Phi Epsilon, an honorary society formed to be coed and thus to remain affiliated with the University, Neither group receives KU fundship but both use campus facilities.
The Great Plains Legal Foundation, which represents the Washburn sorority, is waiting for a response from HEW, according to Blackmire. He said that the foundation had written to HEW three times to ask it to clarify its position concerning the sorority, but had received no response. Blackmire asked the question had been discussed for about two weeks, and letters had been written in June, July and August had elicited no reply.
HE SAID THAT HEW had written U.S.
Rep. Martha Kears, D-Kansas, claiming
NONOSO was not exempt because it used
campus facilities.
An Associated Press story Friday incorrectly stated that HEW had agreed that it had no authority to dictate whether the sorority beaded cool. Coenlaire said that the sorority had been responsible for heads of the formation, had been misquoted and that HEW had taken no position yet.
Blackmire said Washburn had agreed that NONOSO was exempt, and would let the group continue to meet and use campus facilities until outside action was taken.

extensive arson-for-hire ring ever uncovered.
"The magnitude of the case, as it developed, shocked us because of the number of respectable people involved," said state Atty. Gen. Francis X. Bellotti to state
A Suffolk County grand jury returned 123 secret indictments against 33 persons last week, charging them with crimes ranging from assault and conspiracy to manslaughter and murder.
In predawn raids in the Boston area yesterday, state troopers arrested 14 of the 33: the former arson agency officials, three public adjusters, two lawyers and seven businessmen. Public adjusters are professional negotiators who represent property owners in working out settlements with insurance companies.
"The people involved cut across the entire social and economic spectrum," Belliotti
He said the indictments stemmed from a tour-month-long investigation of 150 people, including three inmates.
and Chelsea, which is adjacent to boston, between 1737 and 1796.
Three persons died in the fires, and four of the persons arrested Monday were indicted on murder charges in the deaths. Bollotti did not identify those charged with murder.
At an arrangement later yesterday, 11 of those arrested pleaded innocent to arson and related charges. They were freed on $100 personal recognition and their cases were continued until early next month. The others were to be arranged later.
Bellotti said the investigation uncovered corruption in the state fire marshal's office, the Boston Fire Department arson squad and fire departments in Boston and Chelsea. He attributed the corruption to what he called an ongoing practice of using arson squads as "a dumping ground for retired officers."
An aide to Bellotti said the investigation after investigators realized that certain names appeared frequently in suspicious fire reports.

The airline official also reported the hijackers were three men and one woman, contrary to earlier reports that there were two men and two women.
A Lufthansa spokesman said three of the hijackers were shot to death and a fourth seriously wounded. Boelling initially said all had been shot but later said the report has not been confirmed.

The West German assault recalled the celebrated Entebte raid when Israeli commandos rescued more than 100 hostages held aboard a hijacked Air France jetliner by pro-Palestinian terrorists. The Israeli soldiers boarded three airplanes and flew from Tel Aviv to Uganda for their secrecy-shrouded nighttime ambush on July 4, 1976.
One West German government official said he felt "relief, but tempered relief. We must remember that the pilot was killed and the pilot was not injured by the officer. We don't know what happened to him."
THE GERMANS attacked less than two hours before the hijackers threatened to blow up the plane unless their demands were met.
