Glickman predicts force in Iran
By BLAKE GUMPRECHT

Kansas' only Democratic congressman predicted Friday that President Carter would soon use military force in the effort to free the 50 American hostages being held in Iraq.
Rep. Dan Glickman of Wichita said the United States should first presume its allies to pressure Iran and if that fails, a naval blockade of Iranian ports should be imposed.
"We've been dealing rationally with a
group of irrational people for much too long," he said. "I'm concerned that countries around the world no longer think we're a first rate power."
Glickman, who until last month had the job of co-president of the Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, was in Lawrence one of his periodic stops around Kansas as the state's only Democrat in Washington. He also served on the State Senate.

"We need to get our allies—Japan, West Germany, Canada—to join us to isolate Iran and prevent the spread of its hostages. On the only way Iran is going to give up the hostages is if the rest of the world pressures us."

Hostages' condition good, returning minister says
By DAVID WEED
Staff Reporter
The Rev. Jack Bremer called the Iranians holding 50 Americans hostage in Tehran "students," not "militants."
"My impression is that the whole Iranian population is militant," Bremer said. "Old men and women, school children, religious leaders, government leaders are all militant."
Brenner, a Methodist minister and director of the Ecumenical Christian Mission in New York, who returned last week from Iran after holding Easter services for his family.
"It appears they are about 18-24, about the same age as KU students."
"Our contact with the students included visits in their homes," he said.
THE IRANANS AT the emassy are treating their hostages better than they were at first, Bremer said he was told by some of the hostages.
He said Barry Rosen, one of the hostages, told him, "When we were first taken hostage, we were treated as prisoners of war, but they've come to see us as human
Bremer said, "One thing I can say confidently is that, considering the length of time of confinement, I found the physical
and mental strength of the hostages to be surprisingly good, and for that I thank God."
The hostages now have one to three roommates each, Bremer said, and are allowed to talk to each other privately.
"The hostages are helping each other," he said.
THE MINISTERS HELD EASTer services for 31 of the 50 hostages and afterward were allowed to talk to many of them in semi-private settings, Bremer said.
"There were always students present but we were able to talk quietly so they could not hear what we were saved," he said.
"We never asked about the other 19 hostages," he said. "We were their guests."
no hats, he said, "we were their galses."
The Iranians at the embassy asked how they were viewed by the American people, Bremer said.
"We said. 'They see you as wild men and terrorists.' Because of their anger they will not see the foreign policy problem of suspicion. 'You have seen us as you have the postages,' "Reem said."
"They said, 'But no one listened to us before we took the hostages,'" he said.
before we took the hostages," he said. Bremer compared the relationship of the United States and Iran to a married couple in counseling.
"LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING are the first steps," he said. "As long as
they won't do that, there will be no reconciliation."
"The Carter administration is under strong political pressures to demonstrate it may not be safe to suspend the respect the outcome will be a demonstration of our impotence to deal with a hostage situation."
The new sanctions taken against Iran by the United States government only made it more difficult to justify extradition of the shah and admission of 'United States' complexity in the shah's actions.
The hostage situation has not changed partly because the United States has never tried to deal with the demands of the Iranians, Brereman said.
"The media have tended to concentrate on their hostage and have tended to ignore the hostages and have tended to people, the Islamic nature of the revolution and the foreign policy question of supporting terrorism."
The United States and Iran must learn to respect each other before peace can be achieved, he said.
Carlin kills death penalty
"We could have a mutual beneficial economic relationship," he said, "and each could have respect for the social and cultural traditions of the other."

TOPEKA-Saying capital punishment was incompatible with a civilized society, Gov. John Carlin Friday voiced a death sentence to him by the Kansas Legislature.
Carlin's second veto of death penalty legislation in the past two years was no surprise to legislators
Carlin has proposed a 30-year mandatory sentence for premeditated murder.
The bill vetoed had allowed for execution by injection as a sentencing option to all premeditated murder convictions and in the case of murder during rape, sodomy or kidnapping.
At a Friday morning press conference, Carlin said he saw little chance for the death penalty bill to be approved over his veto in constitutional amendment form.
The result of Conference Committee compromise, the bill was approved 21-19 in the House and 81-42 in the Senate.
"I don't see any strong movement in that direction," Carlin said, noting that House Majority Leader Robert Frey, R-Liberal, favors Freeway reservations about a death penalty resolution.
BOTH VOTES were sly of the two thunders majority needed for a veto override, and death penalty proponents have not shown hopes for overriding Carlin's veto.
"It's most appropriate for the statute books," he said. "In the constitution does not seem to be an appropriate place."
Carlin said he would withhold judgment on the 1980 legislative session until the House and Senate reconvened April 3 for a three-day wan-om session.
But he said the election-year Legislature was roughly equal to previous sessions in terms of legislation handled

But Carlin said skittish legislators would not keep him from sending "to the Legislature programs which will benefit the people of this state."
"THE PACE HAS been average to a little less than average." Carlin said. "There's no
He said he supported a Republican-backed five-cent increase of the tax on gasoline over three years to raise money for statewide highway improvements.
Another fuel tax proposal was killed last week when the Senate Democrats withdrew their support of it.
The highway improvements, which would be possible through gas tax money, are "key safety maintenance items." Carlin said.
He said that many bridges in the state needed repair and that roads needed to be widened and improved.
Carlin also urged legislation softening the effects of property tax re-evaluation on homeowners and farmers.
Caution and alertness best rules for bicyclists

"Students often get in a hurry because of time limitations. They neglect to secure their property and to pay attention to traffic violations, the insigner of the RU police department, said.
All it takes is common sense and alert driving to keep and use a bicycle at the University of Kansas, according to KU police.
Capt. John Mullets, director of the police division of the KU police department, recalled the plight of one student who had purchased a $100 racing bicycle.
"He came in and asked about the best leeks to buy. The next day he came into my office roaring mad because his bike had broken through the front wheel, which had a release for quick removal. The肘 unlocked it and he pushed himself out and had himself a $400 bike." Mullens said.
IN ADDITION to the problem of bicycle thefts, driving cares causes the police department to be concerned about bicycle
He said the incident demonstrated the need to lock and chain a bicycle to a fixed object.
The police department recommends that children ride for rules by bicycle to a city parking lot, and must be equipped with a white head lamp and a red rear reflector or lamp for night

POLICE ALSO recommended wearing white or reflective clothing when riding at night.
Longaker said a bicycle owner should spend 10 to 15 percent of the bicycle's cost on a lock and chain.
She warned students against buying an inexpensive lock and chain.
Part of a bicycle safety and security display that Longaker shows during fall enrollment demonstrates the kinds of locks that foil thieves.
Longaker also said it was easy to steal unprotected bicycles, and hard to get one back once it had been stolen.
"Witnesses are difficult to find because nothing is particularly out of the ordinary about someone riding a bicycle," he said. "There are two main reasons for that: a crime, identification is difficult."
"Some chains can be pulled apart very easily and the locks wouldn't hold anything," she said.
"Even if you catch someone with a stolen bicycle, there is no guarantee of prosecution." The manufacturer's bicycle to someone else there is a possibility that the buyer isn't aware the bicycle was stolen. You have to prove intent and knowledge of the crime, which is terribly difficult."
To protect property, Longaker said, students should license bicycles with city or campus police. To receive a license, serial numbers and other identifying information
SGT. RON Dalquefet of the Lawrence Police Department said recovery of stolen bicycles and apprehension of the thieves did not unless a witness to the crime was found.
Finally, Longaker said bicyclists should park bicycles in public, easily seen places.
Prosecution of suspects is even harder

Salk's polio vaccine quarter century old
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
Polio. That five-letter word cannot convey the same horror and despair today that it did a quarter of a century ago.
Twenty-five years ago this month, the first polio vaccine was declared "safe, potent and effective," allowing medical science to virtually stamp out the disease.
Now, fears of polio are far from the minds of people in developed countries—maybe a little too far, some doctors say.
Along with ease of immunization there is a tendency to forget the potential danger involved in contracting polio, a powerful primary of primarily of children and young adults.
HORROR STORIES traditionally associated with polio no longer seem threatening to children born in the past two decades, generating some concern among parents. Some polio cases in parents may become negligent about properly vaccinating their own children.
"Parents are constantly alerted by medical literature to the need for vaccinations," Marvin Wollmann, director of KU Health Services, said last week.
"I've seen some who are a little bit lax about it, however. I hope it doesn't lead to a significant part of the population not being immunized."
Polio vaccine is readily available in the United States, and the major excuse for not using it is simply procrastination. Wolmann said.
The Salk vaccine challenged the medical dogma that only a weakened and living virus
THE REVOLUTIONARY VACCINE, officially approved on April 12, 1955, was a medical trial for Jonas E. Salk, then a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.
After years of study, Salk had developed a "killer vaccine," in which the polio virus was encapsulated and means, but was still capable of triggering the formation of antibodies to fight the disease.
could be an effective, long-lasting vaccine against a disease such as polio.
THE DISCOVERY SET off a national sabbation, and Sakit became a hero over the years. The attacker conquered of the "dread disease" which attack the central nervous system, causing lethargy.
In the preceding 40 years, polio had killed or crippled more than 357,000 people in the United States alone.
Within seven years after the discovery, the incidence of all types of polio had fallen 97 percent, as Americans rushed to implemen- t their children with the vaccination shots.
But when a live-virus polio vaccine developed by Albert Sabin was licensed in 1962, it quickly replaced the Salk vaccine in the United States. A new national campaign has been launched to immunize using the new vaccine, given not through a needle but in a sugar cube.
The SABIN VACCINE is designed to induce a very mild polio infection, causing the body to fight off the disease and build up a natural immunity.
However, approximately once in every three million vaccinations, the immunized child or someone he comes in contact with contracts polio, Wolmann said.
Of the 185 paralytic polio cases reported in the United States between 1969 and 1979, 73 were related to the oral polio vaccine, or OPV, he said.
The OPV continues to be used in this country because it is easier to administer, it is more abundant and it provides a lifetime immunity. Wollmann said.
No documented cases of paralyptic polio have resulted from the use of Salk's inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), Wolmmann said. There has been no further inoculations to be effective, he added.
A CHILD WOULD receive to three doses of IPB before he was a year and a half old and be given a booster at the time he entered school, he said.
In addition, that person would have to be immunized every five years afterwards to
