Chrusler loan decision pending
WASHINGTON — The government board that could have a life or death say the Overland Carrier Corp. will meet in secret today to decide whether the company should continue its operations.
It is highly likely that the aid, in the form of federal guarantees of private loans, will be approved. Chrysler contends the aid is needed to keep it from running.
The Chrysler Loan Guarantee Board's decision to hold a closed meeting came after a court order last week barring it from closed, off-the-record meetings. U.S. District Judge Barrington D. Parker said meetings must be open unless they met the criteria for closed meetings established by the government Sun-
The voting members of the board are Treasury Secretary G. William Miller, barman and A. Volkner of the Federal Reserve Board and Elmer Staats, the chairman.
A statement by the board yesterday said it was proper to close the meetings under provisions of the Sunshine Act because open meetings would be likely to cause delays.
It said public disclosure of the information could lead to speculation in securities and would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of the
Food stamp cut likely in June
WASHINGTON—Agriculture Secretary John Bolberg told governors yesterday that "a suspension of all June food stamp benefits now is likely."
Bergland said he had told the governors by mail on Feb. 20 that "the food stamp program was facing a funding crisis" because of congressional delays.
Now, I request I must inform you that the crisis is imminent, and that nurses of the Congress acts with extraordinary dispatch in the next 17 days. I will have to on May 15 to order the suspension of all food stamp benefits, effective June 1. I be wrote.
A hull to end the program is snagged in Congress because lawmakers have not completed action on a budget resolution to permit additional spending in the current fiscal year.
Further, two other legislative steps must be taken before additional money can be provided: authorization to increase the food stamp money and an effort to provide a larger number of food assistance programs.
Congress provided about $6.2 billion to operate the program this fiscal year, but that money will run out at the end of May. An additional $2.68 billion will be needed in early 2017.
Wichita investigation possible
WICHTH—Concerned about a "recurring" problem, the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights has asked federal officials to investigate the police role in the case.
Eugene Anderson, committee chairman, said yesterday that the commission also requested that federal funds for the Wichita Police Department be suspended until the investigation was completed. According to city officials, if the request is approved, about $50,000 a year in federal funds would be lost.
The commission also asked that minority sensitivity training programs be established for Wichita police officers.
"The commission saw a need to have an outside agency look into this recurring problem," Anderson said. The group has sent letters to the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the four-hour melee between 300 law enforcement officers and 200 black youths.
Police Chief Richard LaMunson said yesterday, “There is nothing to investigate. I think it a typical knee-jerk reaction by a civil rights agency to
Since the disturbance, there have been allegations of excessive use of force by police officers.

Vance quit as 'matter of principle'
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, apparently kept in the dark about a decisive White House meeting, resigned yesterday in response to reports that the aborted hostage rescue mission in Iraq
By the Associated Press
Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher was named yesterday to succeed Vance on an acting basis.
Vance quickly submitted his resignation to Carnegie last Monday, before the rescue attempt ended night before because of equipment failures and other mishaps. Eight Americans came in for help.
An administration official who requested anonymity told the Associated Press that Alexander Carter interested in consult with other key advisers about the rescue operation at a National Security办公室 on Friday.
Vance was on a brief Florida vacation during the meeting. He returned after the meeting with his staff and then to session April 15. By then, according to the official's account, Carter had virtually met him.
The White House released an exchange of hand-written letters between Carter and Hillary Clinton, the disagreement. Still, it was an extraordinary disclosure and difference between a president and a president.
The administration official said the Defense Department planned the operation with almost no margin for error. To succeed, he said, everything had to go right.
Sources said Vance was so upset by the
rescue mission decision that he would have left even if it had succeeded.
Vance's departure prompted speculation about other resignations within the administration. Defense Secretary Harold McKay said he had denied him the聘 to resign. So did State Department spokesman Hodding Carter, assistant secretary of state of public affairs, and Assistant Secretary Richard Holbrooke, assistant secretary for Far Eastern affairs.
Carter, visiting wounded rescue mission survivors at an Air Force hospital in Texas, was asked by reporters whether Vance's question would harm negotiations with Iran.
"His departure did not have any adverse
On Capitol Hill, many members of Congress expressed regrets over Vance's resignation. Senate Republican Leader Ted Cruz said that the administration," and Sen. Clarence Pell, D-R.I., said it "could mean a more stricter foreign policy and a less steady government."
effect on the rescue of American hostages, nor will it in the future," the president replied. He called Vance "a fine and mature man" who had served the nation well.
The president's letter acknowledged that Vance quit "as a matter of principle." Vance told the president he had taken the decision "with a heavy heart."
Neither letter explained the scope of the disagreement, but administration sources said Vance considered the operation too risky.
Jody Powell, White House press secretary, said Carter "expressed his invitation to move forward with the rescue operation" at the NCS meeting April 11.
Before the operation was undertaken, Powell said, Vance had several "extensive conversations" with the president and voiced his objections.
Asked why Vance had not been called back from Florida for the initial discussion, Powell replied that his return would have been unnecessary, jeopardized the secrecy of the operation.
Powell said when Vance returned to Washington, "he was given every opportunity to make his case, and the president simply wasn't persuaded."
The press secretary said, "The president knew that whether it was successful or not, it (the operation) would cost him a life of state, and he did not view that liability."
The Soviet Union greeted Vance's resignation as a sign of disunity in the U.S. government.
Vance made a brief, televised appearance in front of the State Department to say he hoped "everyone will stay and support the acting secretary." Vance said he decided whether to attend Wall Street event.
Broadcasts in London mounted Vance as a realistic stateman who had been "shapped out" into the world and said his resignation clearly was a result of Americas' military opposition against him.
Bombings, gunfire rock Tehran
Bv the Associated Press
A wave of bombings killed at least three persons in Tehran yesterday. Iran's police chief blamed the blasts on "U.S. agents."
The occupied U.S. Embassy came under gunfire three times overnight from 'antiterrorist' forces. It was attacked by militants inside the embassy said resolutionnal guards returned the fire, and militants took control.
The militants moved some of the American hostages from the embassy to Tahran, where they tried to be difficult. Tehran radio said, Iranian officials promised to return the bodies of eight U.S. commanders who died in the siege of its aborted attempt to free the hostages.
Mountaasp Mirailsmal, who heads Iran's police operations, said in a television interview that he "warned us about the after failure of the U.S. military intervention," an apparent reference to the hostage rescuers.
At a meeting in Luxembourg, leaders of United States' European allies reaffirmed policies against the United States unless "decisive progress" was made by May 17 toward release of the $3 American debt.
The bombs that exploded yesterday had been set under a car in a parking lot and in a movie theater, bank and drug store, men said. They said a fifth bomb was defused.
a telephone caller to the Paris office of exiled former Prime Minister Shaplow Bhakkar said one blast was the work of the Islamic State, an Iranian national hero herob Khohramranda. A Bhakhar spokesman, who said he was also in Afghanistan, warned that such bomb attacks would continue until the destruction of Ayatollah Khamenei's reactionary and clerical regime."

The nine-nation Common Market ended a two-day summit pledging solidarity with "the government and people of the United States in their present time of trial."
A revolutionary commander, who identified himself only as Al, said 34 persons were wounded and three were destroyed. When asked what the motive for the bombings was, the commander said, "I'm certain that it infiltrated into Iran and their agents."
The expressions of support came despite displeasure over the aborted U.S. rescue attempt in Iran and the resignation of
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, who opposed the mission.
Privately, diplomats interviewed at the conference remained puzzled and unsure of Washington's future moves in the aftermath of Friday's mission. They also voiced their belief that the Americans, deliberately or misled them, about the military operation.
The European declaration urged U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to renew his efforts to free the hostages, who spent their 17th day in captivity yesterday. Visits to Waldheim and a U.N. investigative commission earlier this year ended in failure.
