Afghan government changes
NEW DELHI, India—Radie Kabul reported a sweeping shakup Sunday of the Afghanistan government, centralizing control under President Babrak Karman within hours of reports that he had abruptly canceled a trip to Moscow.
The Soviet-controlled Radio Kabul knew Karmal initiated the wide-ranging changes and set up a "general presidency for guidance" to supervise and organize the administrative work of the providences, municipalities, districts and other areas of the country.
A former Afghan official now in New Delhi said the "shakeup has centralized power under President Karmal's control."
The announcement followed other reports from Pakistan that Karmal had abruptly cancelled a trip to Moscow, returning on orders to his residence in Islamabad. The authorities said the case was not under investigation.

The Jung front-page report did not say why Karmal was going to Moscow, who ordered him to cancel the trip or offer any reason for the cancellation.
Karmal, 49, was installed as president of Afghanistan by Moscow last December after the assassination of President Hafizullah Amin.
Iran assassin spurs conflict
PARIS—The leader of a killer band that tried to assassinate former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who badmoved him and his men after they tried to arrest by Iranian authorities police suspects in an attack.
The man's assertion helped fan a mounting controversy between France and Iran. Paris has condemned the attack, and the Iranians have charged that the murder attempt was a put-up job by Iranian exiles enjoying safe asylum in France.
In Iran the "Guards of Islam," which had previously claimed respon-
sibility for the attack, assailed Iranian Foreign Minister Gholzbath for disjac-
tion with the US government.
The commandos and their leader, Annie Nacache, were charged formally yesterday with homicide for the attack on Bakhtiar's apartment Friday. A policeman and a neighbor were killed, and four people were wounded, including one of the gunmen, in the attack.
Honduras ends military rule
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras—Gen. Policarpo Paz Garcia handed over the reins of government yesterday to the New Constituent Assembly that is expected to name him provisional president until it has fashioned a new constitution and election laws.
The move is seen as a major step toward ending nearly a decade of military rule in this impoverished Central American nation of three million persons who subsist primarily through labor on coffee and banana plantations.
The Liberal and National parties, which together hold nearly all 71 seats in the moderately conservative Constituent Assembly, have agreed to keep Paz Garcia as provisional president. Party leaders said Paz Garcia would be directly responsible to the assembly during the transition.
They said the assembly also would name a 13-man executive cabinet, supreme court justices, provincial officials and heads of government
After the constitution is written, the assembly is to call elections for a president, congress, mayors and city councils.
GOP team begins campaign
Workmen were dismantling the Republican National Convention on Friday as GOP presidential candidate Ronald Reagan talked political strategy with the party's high command and exhorted, "Now we really go to work."
The Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, George Bush, spent their full day as a campaign team by stopping by GOP meetings.
Speaking to members of the Republican National Committee, Reagan said the GOP's 'muris' "is a dream come true," for himself and others who have worried about "the divisions that so often have embittered several segments of the electorate" less than united when it comes forward with the main mission."
GOP leaders are discounting the threat posed to Reagan by independent candidate John Anderson's drive for the presidency.
Republican Party chairman Bili Brock said yesterday he considered Anderson's presidential bid at its peak and no longer a threat to the Republican Party.
"We're not unduly concerned," Brock said. "We just don't think he's going to be a major factor."
Anderson, however, said on a television interview that his independent campaign was gaining momentum and that by election day in November the candidates were confident of winning.
Police quell riot in Wichita
WICHTA-Police dispersed an unruly crowd with tear gas early yesterday who pelted rocks and bottles at officers and damaged businesses in the second riot in three months in the city's predominantly black northeast side.
No one was injured during the confrontation but firefighters reported they were shot at while putting out a fire that had been set in the driveway of a gas station.
Police made two arrests on charges of assaulting an officer and failure to disperse.
Hampton said police did not believe the disturbance was racially motivated.
Police spokeswoman Randy Wells said the trouble began about 2 a.m. when officers were called to a game room in a shopping center where two men armed with shotguns entered the house.
Wells said the men began to scream when the officers brought them out of the building. Persons in the crowd became angered and started throwing objects.
Large windows in a grocery store at the shopping center were smashed by some of the objects, officers said.
Leaks in security revealed
BOSTON—Former State Department spokesman Hadding Carter says the National Security Council is responsible for many of the foreign policy news released by the agency.
In an interview published in the Boston Sunday Globe, Carter said Brzezinski was behind the efforts to control the leaks, while Brzezinski's office was not involved.
Carter said Friday that the president was particularly angered by a report in the Washington Post last October about administration debat on incarceration.
The president sought FBI assistance in tracking down the leaks and asked the government from high-ranking officials including Vance, Brezinski and CIA directors to investigate.

Republicans unite for fall fight
They agreed that the GOP came out of the Republican National Convention last week with a high sense of unity, and that some minor disagreements within the party would not affect the drive for the White House.
In order for Ronald Reagan to capture the presidency in November, he must broaden his appeal to voters across the country, Republican Party leaders from Douglas County and the public domain District said this weekend.
By DAN FORCHE Staff Reporter
though there has been some dissent this year over the choice of Bush, John Lungstrum, Douglas County Republican Chairman, said the disaffected delegates would not have much influence.
Jack Brand, the 3rd District Republican chairman, said that Reagan's staff deserved credit for making the convention run smoothly.
"Those who find Bush too liberal to be enthusiastic about the ticket are out of the mainstream of the party and do not represent a large number." he said.
"In 1976 the party was very divided, "mostly from the Reagan people," he said. "I think they learned from their predecessors, and I remember the same things that happened there."
The new-found harmony will continue through the campaign, he said, despite the controversy in the final form of the platform. It calls for a constitutional amendment to support for the Equal Rights Amendment for the first time in 40 years.
Some delegates felt there would be a floor fight at the convention over the two disagreements, but it never materialized.
Reese said the changes would not matter to most people because the ERA has been backtracking and few people are willing to join theortion to make them change their votes.
Brand said, "The important agenda items are the economy, unemployment and foreign policy."
"There are some who are never going to be able to support Reagan," Lungstum said. "The platform will be held up as a reason."
The choice of Bush for vice president was good, Brand said, and showed Reagan's efforts to broaden his political base.
"It is a symbolic reach out to the rest of the party," he said. "Bush is well qualified and has as much experience as possible candidate he could have picked."
Student health plan offered by Lone Star
By CHICK HOWLAND Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Students covered by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insurance Co. will have a chance to switch their health coverage to the Lone Star Insurance Co. before their current runs cover out on Aug. 1. Doug Goracke, campus representative for Lone Star, said yesterday.
LETTERS SENT OUT last week by Blue Cross and Blue Shield said that those students covered by the company have their policies renewed on August 1.
Lone Star will begin coverage as soon as possible for those whose policies expire on the 1st, Goracle said.
LONE STAR, who submitted the lowest bid to the student senate last spring, will provide the same coverage as a college admission price, but prices will be cheaper. Goracle said.
A letter from Lone Star will arrive on Wednesday explaining the company's policies, he said. Students who apply will receive coverage immediately.
"They need to send in their applications quickly, with their first payment," Goracke said.
THOSE STUDENTS who fail to act quickly on their insurance will be without any coverage during August, he said.
Some graduate students expressed concern last week after receiving the letter from Blue Cross. They said that they were informed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield that they would no longer be covered because they were too old.
Lone Star will take anyone, Goracke said.
THE DEADLINE for students who wish to change their coverage to Lone Star is August 15. After that, students can sign up at enrollment as usual.
Students with questions can call the company's toll-free number 1-800-527-0519.
