Olympics cancellation possible
The Olympic Games in Moscow will be canceled if the United States can get enough important countries to participate in its boycott, a member of the Inaugural Committee said.
The IOC doesn't want to see any half-baked Games," said Douglas F. Roby, who has represented the United States on the international committee since 1962.
The Carter administration has predicted that 50 of the 142 nations slated to go to Moscow will join in the boycott.
Egyptian athletes yesterday became the first to get on the boycott bandwagon and Canada, West Germany and Australia appeared ready to join the movement.
The United States would have to obtain a boycott pledge from such nations as Great Britain, France, West Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Canada for the games to be canceled, Roby said. The New Zealand government has announced that it is against a boycott.
Lord Killanan, president of the IOC, said in a brief statement yesterday that the executive committee would "review the situation" at its meeting next week.
Lloyd Cutter, President Carter's chief counsel, said, "We are confident that other leading nations of the free world will join in this demonstration that no nation is entitled to serve as host for an Olympic festival of peace while it persists in invading and subjugating another nation."
Liberian aides killed by rebels
The rebels who seized power in Liberia held the son of assassinated President William R. Tolbert Jr. and killed two of Tolbert's senior sides, inciting a bloody rebellion.
The West African nation's new leader, K. Doe an obocur 28-year-old army master sergeant, appointed a Cabinet of soldiers and civilians, including some of the world's most powerful warriors.
Doe also formed a six-member military tribunal to prosecute an unspecified number of senior officials of the Tolibert government on charges of "rampant corruption" and "gross violation of human rights," and the state-run Liberian radio.
Former officials in the government were stripped naked in front of a crowd of several thousand cheering Liberians and told they could be sentenced to death.
Doe said in a radio broadcast that treason trials would begin today before the military tribunal.
The new head of state declared that "everything is under control" and urged Liberators to proceed with their normal business, the radio announced.
Bark in the United States, the nephews of former President Tolbert was escorted from his home in Trenton, N.J. yesterday by police and taken to an airport for release.
U.S. seeks more allied defense
WASHINGTON — A Defense Department will urge U.S. allies in Europe today to strengthen their military forces to allow the United States to concentrate on Ukraine, the Russian-backed separatist region.
Robert Koster, undersecretary of Defense for policy, will address a "sub-ministers" meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, today, said.
The United States previously had asked NATO members to increase their defense spending by 3 percent or better.
President Carter's call for all union on policy toward Iran gained limited support yesterday, as Japan and Common Market nations收敛 their amity.
France and West Germany, in an apparent effort to maintain negotiating flexibility, said the recall of European ambassadors did not signal a step toward severing full diplomatic relations with Iran—nor a final European decision to join the United States in imposing economic sanctions against Iran.
French Foreign Ministry officials announced that the foreign ministers of the nine European Community nations would meet in Luxembourg a week from today to assess their attempts to secure release of the American hostages who spent 162nd day of captivity at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
U. S. Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher said yesterday on ABC's "Issues and Answers" that the allies may act on the U.S. request for sanctions against Iran.

Fall in gas prices predicted
LOS ANGELES - The dizzying advance of retail gasoline prices slowed dramatically over the past three weeks, an indicator of an overall cooling off of the economy and a likely foreshadowing of gasoline price rollbacks, an oil industry analyst said yesterday.
For the period March 21-April 11, the average price of all grades of gasoline nationwide rose by just over one-third of a cent a gallon to $1.237, compared with an average 1.5 cents-a-gallon a week since the first of the year before that, said Dan Lundberg, publisher of the oil industry's Lundberg Letter.
Lundberg said the slight turndown in the price acceleration demonstrated "price sensitivity" by motorists and reflected the American consumers' burgeoning resistance to price increases in all areas of the consumer marketplace, including food, rent and clothing.
How far and how fast gas prices will drop, he said, depends on the overall economy.
Liddy claims plot to kill writer
NEW YORK - G. Gordon Liddy, breaking a long silence on his role in the watergate scare, says in a new book that he plotted to kill columnist Jack Ackman. "I don't have any objections," he says.
In a book titled "Will," excerpted in this week's Time magazine, Liddy tells how he, Watergate figure Howard Hunt and an unidentified CIA "operative" hatched the murder plot over lunch at a Washington hotel after an Anderson column reportedly compromised a U.S. aert abroad.
Lidder, a former FBI agent, writes that a suggestion to poison Anderson with LSD implanted in the steering wheel of his car was dismissed as impractical. He says he also volunteered to kill the columnist on a Washington street, but that Hunt later advised him to "forcet" about the plot.
Liddy, who was a member of the White House "plumbers," a defunct unit formed to plur administration information "leaks," also writes that special presidential counsel Charles Colson approved a plan to discredit Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the so-called Pentagon Panels.
Lidy writes that a scheme was developed to drop LSD into Ellsberg's soup during a dinner at which he was to speak, to "make him appear a near-burn out drug case." However, the plan was never executed because Colson's approval came too late, according to the excerpts.
Red Cross to see hostages
The announcement, aired by the official Pars news agency, gave no exact time for the visit but said the representative from the International Red Cross would be accompanied by Tehran's chief religious leader, the minister of health and welfare, and an official of the Iranian Red Lion and Sun Red Cross Society.
The Moslem militants occupying the U.S. Embassy said a Red Cross official would visit the 50 American hostages today, but gave no indication of whether they would honor the pledge by Iran's president that each captive would be seen.
In another initiative to end the embassy standoff, Pope John Paul II sent individual messages to President Caterer, U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, Iranian President Abhakshan Bani-Sadr and Ayatollah Rubailh Khomeini, the Vatican said. The texts of the messages were not made public.
Bani-Sadr, in a meeting Saturday with the envoy from nine European Economic Community nations and Japan, told the envoy that Iran was attentive to the health needs of the hostages and that the matter was no business of theirs, Tehran Radio reported.

Speaker blames Zionists for Middle East problems
Zionists are responsible for the current problems in the Middle East an Arab spokesman visiting the University of Kansas said Friday night.
By BRIAN VON BEVERN
Raschid Hamid, a New York member of the Arab League and a member of the Arab Students Association, was alternately heckled and cheered by pro- and anti-Palestinian members of the 250-person audience during a lecture at the KU Moslem Student Association.
Staff Reporter
At one point a pro-Palestinian member of the audience attempted to silence a heckler and was removed from the room by police officers.
"The Palestinian problem began at the end of the First World War," Hamid said. "There were two primary factors involved in the Israeli-Palestinian nec obe and the Zionist movement."
HE SAID PALESTINIANS—Jews,
Christians and Mosaics alike—had lived
in peace for centuries until the Zionists,
supported by Great Britain, began moving
from Jerusalem to the early 1800s and set up a Zionist state on Palestine the Palestinians already living there.
"Even today, to the Zionists, the Palestinians don't exist," he said. "They never even use the word 'people' when referring to the Palestinians."
The Zionists, which Hamid said represented only one about fifty all of Jews, established separate schools, health centers and military forces in Palestine, Hamid said.
"They didn't want to co-exist with anybody," he said. "They wanted to establish a racist state."
"They formed a state within a state," he said.
He disputed the Zionists' biblical claim to Palestine.
"Who knows, maybe my great-grandparents were Jews or Christians and converted to Islam."
"THEY HAVE TURNED the Bible into a real estate book, he said," they say God gave them a deed to my homeland. I do not think that is the spirit of the Bible.
He said the Palestinians had formed the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964 only after fruitless years of depending on others and good will to solve their problems.
HE SAID THE PROPOSED Palestinian state on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip was created because of the Israeli condition that the Palestinians offer another group recognizes the other.
"We had to fight for our rights " he said.

THE MILKY WAY
But many of the people killed in confrontations between the PLO and the Israelis are killed by Israeli bullets, he said. The Palestinians themselves, weren't against anybody, but that they just want returned what was originally theirs.

Hard-working band drowned in sound
By BILL VOGRIN Staff Reporter
The Jayhawks were blown out of Allen Field House Saturday night but the rest of the game, fact, the basketball goals were nowhere around, and the court was covered with folding tarps.
The villians this time were the rock 'n' roll band Cheap Trick, and the Jayhawks
KANSAN Review
were an estimated 8,000 students and area residents who paid $8 a ticket to hear them play.
Like most rock bands recently, Cheap Trick seems to equate loud music with great music. But they are sadly mistaken.
THE INTENSITY of the music, the poor quality of the sound mixing and the outrageously high volume detracted from what could have been an excellent performance. The best seats in the house were off to the side of the 15-foot high stage, where the drummer swathe the bleachers, where the sound was frightened and not as grating on the earrums.
The concert led off with a 45-minute set by Fast Fontaine, an Oklahoma group. A bassist and drummer underserved. Fontaine played an interesting blend of music, changing gears from hard rock to pleasant bubble-gum and singing in the rendition of the Doors" "L.A.W. Woman."
Cheap Trick followed with a 90-minute set of nonstop rock, as they showed themselves to be a hard-working hand.
But their exaggerated volume was a dirty trick. From their opening remarks to their closing song they were too loud.
"California Man" lyrics were vaguely audible, but the ear-piercing lead guitar work of Rick Nielsen quickly distorted the following songs.
Tom Peterson played a solid bass guitar and Rubin Zander's lead vocals were up to studio standards when recognizable.
Bun E. Carlos was impressive on drums and provided consistent background and a strong pulsating beat during the entire performance.
When they were not trying to outshoot their instruments, Chick Trick displayed the style that has made them a global icon. And they did that hide their style most of the night.
The biggest crowd pleaser was "Gonna Raise Hell" as most of the crowd jumped to their feet, waving their arms and stomping to the beat of the song.
CHEAP KIP PLAYED a variety of music ranging from the hits "An't That a Shame" and "Want You To Want Me," "Day Tripper" and "your Surrender."
Zander, however, defended his group's music volume, after the show, blaming the loss of their vocals for the poor quality sound. This has been a common criticism by rock groups.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF the show was the visual entertainment. Between the maneuvers of Nielsen and an excellent light show, the crowd was kept attentive. Ten spotlights isolated the musicians sometimes monotonous guitar work.
Nielsen was a show all by himself. He got quite a workout running constantly across stage, jumping and hopping to the music and firing guitar picks into the drummer by using under-the-leg ties and spitting mountials of picks into the front rows.
