Carter orders new sanctions
President Carter announced new U.S. economic sanctions on Iran yesterday, and out a book from West Europeans
Portugal banned all trade with Iran, and the European Parliament urged the nine Common Market nations to consider diplomatic ties with the EU.
At a Washington news conference, Carter warned that if non-military steps did not lead to the release of the 50 U.S. Embassy hostages in Tehran, the "next
He announced he was banning financial transactions with Iran by anyone in the United States, prohibiting most American travel to Iran, ordering payment of reparations to families of the 50 hostages from frozen Iran assets and ordering U.S.-made arms on order by Iran to be made available to U.S. armed forces.
Earlier yesterday, Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Rubolhah Khomeini dismissed the American sanctions as an "empty drum," and President Abdallahan Bani-Sad insisted Iran was "mostly self-sufficient" and would not be endangered by a broad trade embargo.
Liddu appears with columnist
NEW YORK—G. Gordon Liddy shook hands with Jack Anderson yesterday and anmadly told the columnist that he would willingly have killed him had the White House given him the go-ahead and would have considered it "justifiable homicide."
Liddy, the Watergate copinator who kept silent until now, said he proposed eight years ago that Anderson be murdered for allegedly exposing the identity of a U.S. intelligence agent working abroad—and then waited in vain for an order from the White House to murder Anderson.
Anderson and Liddy met for the first time as they sat down in easy chairs on the set of ABC's "Good Morning America" television program.
Later, at the NBC "Today" program, Laddy and E. Howard hunt, his former White house colleague, ignored each other and Hunt was interviewed after interview.
Liddy appeared on the programs to promote his just-published autobiography, "Will." In the book he also said he planned to kill Hunt in what he considered the likely event that the White House would want Hunt silenced to keep him from telling a grand jury about the Watergate break-in.
Hunt characterized Laddy as a possessor with doubtful credentials as a killer and suspected he was mentally unbalanced.
254 more refuaees leave Cuba
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Cuba refuges arriving from the Peruvian Embassy in Haitania claimed yesterday that supporters of President Ferdinand F. Castro had joined a militant group.
Two planes brought 248 refugees during the second day of the airlift from communist Cuba, raising the total flow to Costa Rica to 490. Peruvian officials said that the humanitarian aid was in good condition.
The refugees looked wan and tired as they stepped off two "freedom flights," mounted by the Costa Rican airline. They were taken to a former presidential palace in the capital.
Some of the refugees were so exhausted that they collapsed on the floors in small groups and went to sleep without waiting for mattresses.
Draft registration resurrected
WASHINGTON—In an important victory for President Carter, the House Appropriations Committee yesterday resurrected his embattled plan for the president's budget.
By a three-vote margin, the committee approved spending $13.3 million to start registration procedures. The committee's 26-23 vote will affect about 4 million men, aged 19 and 20. Registration at post offices throughout the country will begin this summer if Congress passes the measure.
Proposals to also register women, as Carter proposed, were shouted down twice without a recorded vote.
Carter's plan had been stalled in Congress since Feb. 27, when an appropriations subcommittee approved only enough money for a standby registration program that would not start until the president ordered mobilization in an emergency.
"I would be surprised if it was defeated." House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass, told reporters.
He said a White House survey indicated 206 congressmen supported registration, 86 opposed it and the remainder of the 435 members were unregistered.
Rhodesia becomes Zimbabwe
SALIBURY, Zimbabwe—Rhodesia, wracked by years of civil war in a failed struggle for white supremacy, officially became the black-ruler nation of Africa.
The transition brought independence to Britain's last African colony.
The red, white and blue British Union Jack was lowered and replaced by six-color standard of Africa's newest black-rulen nation.
Britain's Prince Charles was present to give the British Parliament's declaration granting independence to the southern African state. He was joined by four presidents, seven prime ministers, and envoys from some 100 countries in a nearly black guests in the Hufaro soccer field where the ceremony was held.
Wild cheers erupted from the stadium as Zimbabwe was born of the ashes of a seventy-year war between black nationalists and the country's white minorities. And the crowd chanted "We are not slaves."
DES concern called excessive
A federal regulatory agency's concern over the use of a banned cancer-causing hormone as a growth stimulant in cattle is "overloaded and reactively toxic," according to the U.S. Food Safety Administration.
John "Junior" Armstrong, president of the Kansas Farm Bureau, also said yesterday that it would be a "a statement on our judicial system" if criminal charges were filed against cattle feedlot operators for their use of the hormone DES.
The Food and Drug Administration said yesterday that 55 Kansas cattle operations, mostly feedlots, have received regulatory letters from the agency.
Winn says budget cuts unfair
Additional producers have been implicated, but they will not be added to the official list until the FDA has a count of cattle affected at the individual level.
Winn issued a statement after seeing revised budget figures for the Army Corps of Engineers' recreational facilities, which cut funding for six recreation
WASHINGTON—Rep. Larry Winn Jr., R-Kan., yesterday criticized the Carter administration for unfairly distributing federal budget cuts among the
The new revised budget includes the total program to 48 projects in 19 states at a cost of $12 million. All six Kansas projects have been removed from the plan.
The Corps' original budget for fiscal 1981 provided for 62 recreational facilities, states at a cost of $18 million. Six projects in Kansas would have funded the following:
Those Kansas projects are located at Council Grove, Fall River Lake, Marion Lake, Pomona Lake, Turtle Creek Lake and Wilson Lake.
"I have supported budget cuts and the need to hold down spending since I was elected," she said. "I will be willing to do their fair share in bearing burdens. The burden in these figures, however, are not fair. Georgia's share alone $3.75 million is 31 percent of the total program—not one dollar of Georgia's funding was cut. The same is true for the state."
Weather
Temperatures will be in the high 785 today with sunny and warmer weather, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka.
The low tonight will be in the upper 40s with the high tomorrow in the upper 70s.
The extended forecast calls for warm and dry weather with highest mostly in the 8th Sunday through Tuesday.
Early this week, two groups, the East Lawn Improvement Association and Citizens for a Better Downtown, complied lists of goals and strategies for the coming year.
She said the downtown area was a neighborhood, just as legitimate as any residential area, and that it deserved its own set of "visual and physical standards."
City moves to include Lawrence residents in plans for future downtown shopping have sent some resident groups to their drawing room and plot the course of their participation.
barbara Waggoner, a CBD member, said her group wanted to "improve the process for public and professional input" in planning for downtown development.
Neighborhood groups chart downtown action

As one step in planning for downtown development, she said, the city should provide its residents with the needs and then develop goals and standards that would fit within the framework of Plan
"This needs to be done." Waggoner said, "before someone plops down a proposal and says, 'Here it is, take it or leave it.'"
Waggoner said CBD was aware of "descrepancies" between surveys done by the Downtown Lawrence Association—an
organization of local merchants—and Action 80, a private group that has been negotiating with a Cleveland firm for a down town mail.
KUMC court battle nears finale
Closing remarks will be heard next week in Douglas County District Court in the latest chapter of a seven-year battle between the Medical Center and an electrical contractor.
She said CBD advocated an independent, professional study because "it's foolish to accept the figure of someone who has a vested interest."
The contractor, Evans Electrical Con-
trol, charged $195,000 to owen them more than $300,000 because of increased costs they absorbed on a project after defective plans were approved by the company.
The latest suite attempts to void a 1977 arbitration settlement of $24,340 for Evans
According to the attorney for Evans, Charles Svoboda, the award "simply had no
basis in fact." The firm had originally asked for $333.396 and legal fees.
Evans' pettition all that plans for the Med Center's Basic Science Facility were approved, but he never stated. It also said that there was no coordination between electrical, mechanical, architectural and structural drawings; that the building had been planned; that there was no planning check review.
Waggoner said some Lawrence businessmen cited "leakage" of shopping to Topaka and Kansas City as proof of a need for more downtown shopping facilities.
Evans also said the Med Center forced them to complete construction on the science facility in spite of the increased cost to Evans.
But an independent study, she said, could look at the "social and economic aspects of people's practices." Waggoner suggested that there were many reasons for shopping in other town and that it was more likely to happen with present facilities were the overriding factor.
The University, in answering Evans' charges, said the increased costs were the fault of the construction firm.
ELIA, at its regular membership meeting, adopted some parallel goals.
**Lee Treater, ELIA board member,**
**the organization had felt for the past year that one of its major goals was to**
**buy more clothing for new shopping,**
**where south or downtown."
"We can be proud of ourselves," Treaser said, "but we have a ways to go before we get shopping downtown that we can live with."

The organization's members agreed to support efforts to get portions of the neighborhood certified on the National Historic Register.
Richard Kershenbaum, ELIA board member, and the preservation case of a nineteenth century working class neighborhood. "Listing on the NHR he said, might be a hedge against rising rents," she wrote.
ELIA also agreed to look for financing sources in addition to Community Development money. CD funds are federal funds distributed by the city.
Kershenaum said financial ties to the city might be a hindrance if the group decided to fight a mall or other downtown expansion.
