Anderson runs as independent
WASHINGTON - Republican John B. Anderson became an independent candidate for president yesterday, appealing for the support of voters so disenchanted by the prospect of a Carter-Reagan choice this fall that they might stay home on Election Day.
In Austin, Texas, Republican front-runner Ron Reagan said there was "a terrible possibility" that Anderson's reborn candidacy might throw the Democratic Party off the map.
White House press secretary Jody Powell said that it was too early to predict the effect of Anderson's independent candidate on President Carter's bid for reelection. Neither would he say whether the Carter campaign would go to court in an attempt to be Anderson's name off the November ballots.
Abandonding his 10-month-long quest for the Republican presidential nomination at a news conference at the National Press Club, Anderson said:
There is statistical evidence that virtually one-half of the potential voters are dissatisfied with a choice between President Carter and Ronald Reagan."
The Illinois congressman said he would seek to "broaden the choice available to millions of potential voters who simply do not participate in party primaries."
State joining national recession
LAWRENCE- Business statistics for the first year of the term seem to indicate that Kansas—whose economy has outperformed it *n*ional average for the last three years—will be one of the fastest-growing states.
Figures released in the April issue of the Kansas Business Review, published by the University of Kansas' Institute for Economic and Business Research, showed statewide employment to be slipping and predicted the possibility of falline farm prices in [180].
The magazine said the state's continued strong economy in the past two years was the result of high employment rates, a boom in the Wietla- based aircraft industry and the growth of manufacturing.
But each of those areas now appears to be slightly less stable because of national and international events, such as high interest rates, the Russian grain
"Rising interest rates and the declining purchasing power of consumers have resulted in a marked slowdown in the production of small aircraft," the Business Review reported. "Therefore, it is possible that the boom in the aircraft industry is over and that its employment will continue to drop."
Brutality investigation planned
WICHITA- Allegations that police use excessive force during a Tuesday night meloon on Wichita's northside west will be investigated by several federal agencies.
James B. Buchele said the FBL, the Department of Justice and his own office would handle citizen's complaints and would monitor police investigations
If the federal authorities deem it necessary to get involved, then I suggest they come to the aid of the victims, the ones who were dragged out of their homes and were in danger of being shot or killed.
The incident began after police encountered resistance while arresting a man wanted for aggravated assault. A crowd of blacks that grew to 350 hurled rocks at him.
Some 300 officers, wearing rig gear, were called to the scene to help disperse the crowd that broke into smaller bands and roamed the streets for nearly six hours.
About 60 persons were treated and released at local hospitals for injuries suffered during the melee.
Nearly 40 cars, five of them police cars, were damaged. Some were overturned on city streets and set on fire. Authorities said a half dozen businesses in the area were also damaged.
No danger seen in silo leak
WICHTA- the oxidizer leak at a TIIan T missile silo near Potwin this week in the Air Force definition of a major spill, but it never presented any imagery that would be seen by the public.
1. Paula Burris, McConnell Air Force Base information officer, said a major spill was a lead in which the nitrogen, oxidizer textroxide, drops into a deflector window of an aircraft engine.
About 16 families were evacuated Tuesday morning shortly after the leak, described by the Air Force as a "steady stream," was discovered. The families had been living in the area since the start of the storm.
However, officials apparently missed Diane Howell, who could see the silo from her farmhouse a mile away. Her husband, Husband, called her at mid-morning to tell her of the evacuation and shortly after she called the sheriff's department, official cars arrived with their sirens wailing to cart her away.
Howell said he realized the leak was not too serious, but he added it could have been and he was upset that the Air Force didn't evacuate his wife.
All I know is that we knocked on the door in that area," said Burris.
The Air Force continued yesterday preparing to unload the propellant and replace a faulty valve believed to have allowed the leak.
Runner insists she won fairly
NEW YORK - Rosi Ruiz repeatedly broke down in fear yesterday as she faced questions who said she took a short cut to win a medal in the Boston 2012 Olympics.
The gold medallion she was given for being the first female finisher in Monday's 28-mile, 36-mile race. Miss Ruzir said at a news conference, '1
It’s clearly a hook,” said Paul Petscher, who ran in the Boston race and saw Miss Ruiz at the finish line. “It was very clear she had not run a marathon. She was a fast runner.”
Some of her interrogators were marathon runners, who laced their remarks with such words as "fraud" and "cheat."
Asked if she would be willing to submit to a he detector test, Miss Ruiz replied, "I would be willing to submit to anything."
Her disputed time of 2 hours 31 minutes in the marathon was the fastest time ever for a woman in the event.
Correction...
It was incorrectly reported in yesterday's Kansan that the projected occupancy date for the Campus Christian Ministry's new house was to be June 1. The accrual was delayed.
It was incorrectly reported in the Kansan yesterday that the Student Senate passed a bill Wednesday night to increase bus fares and passes next fall and recommended that the Kansas Board of Regents increase the student transportation privilege fee.
Although the Senate passed a bill that recommended the Regents raise the transportation privilege fee, it did not increase bus fares and passes. Only the Senate Transportation Board can set bus fare and passes and it does not need to be approved by both chambers. The Senate passed a bill that increased bus fares for next fall from 25 cents to 30 cents and passes from $25 to $10.
Weather ...
The extended forecast calls for a warming trend with little or no precipitation. Highs will be in the 60s on Sunday and temperatures will warm to
Partly cloudy skies will accompany fair and cool weather in the upper 80s today, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka.
KEY WEST. Fla. (AP) — The "freeedom refugees from Cuba to the United States yesterday, as the State Department insisted it would enforce immigration laws against"
Cuban refugees continue flotilla
About 120 refugees arrived here at noon, bringing to nearly 1200 the number who have been admitted by President Fidel Castro told exiles in Florida they could pick up relatives at the port of Miami.
One immigration official said boat owners could be fired or charged with smuggling.
The offer came two weeks after more than 10,000 Coban jamsammed into the Peruvian Embassy in Havana, seeking safe passage out of their homeland homeland.
On Wednesday, Castro's government expanded his baffle lift, saying anyone who wanted to leave Cuba could go to Russia. The president noted that recently must take four other refuges.
The usually easy-yong island city of Key West was chaotic, with exiles flashing fistfuls of money to boat captains, buying passage for relatives.
The expanded offer reportedly touched off freemined efforts by thousands of Cubans in Havana to contact relatives in exile.
Larry Rodriguez. Kev West's director of
public safety, said one woman carried a suitcase stuffed with $75,000 as she sought to charter a boat.
Harried U.S. officials speculated that Castro's announcement could trigger an exodus of hundreds of thousands. A stern statement from Washington said the boatlift efforts to evacuate the estimated 5,900 Cubans in the Peruvian embassy compound.
The State Department had intended to accept 3,900 of the refugees from the embassy, with the remainder headed to other countries.
Boat operators have ignored State Department reminders that bringing illegal aliens into the country is a crime.
"I understand there are a thousand boats off the Cuban coast," Rodriguez said. "We're talking about may be 14,000 people."
Tony Ravello, who carried his father, nephew and sister-in-law among 200 Cubans aboard his 40-foot "Suripider," said yesterday morning. I not worried. I've got my family here now. I don't think this mother will arrest me for rescue my family."
But also yesterday, the Coast Guard and the immigration and Naturalization Service responded to the refuges to pour in the boatfair began Saturday—every week to "enforce immigration."
Miami INS director Richard Gullage said boat owners could be fined $1,000 for each illegal alien brought into the country and had authorization could be charged with smuggling.
Boat trailers were backed up two miles at Key West launching sites yesterday.
