Iran demands U.S. statement
U. S. efforts to break the Iranian hostage crisis snagged last night after Iran's president, Abhassan Bani-Sadr, told an intermediary between the two governments that he was awaiting a new statement of American intentions, a tow White House official said.
The aide said U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim had talked to telephone with Bani-Sadr and reported his message to Secretary of State Cyrus
Bani-Sadr reportedly said that previous White House statements had not met the conditions he set for transferring control of the hostages from the militants at the U.S. Embassy to the Iranian government. He also reportedly asked for a more specific declaration that the United States would not retaliate against
Earlier, Carter told reporters he was delaying the imposition of new sanctions against Iran. The president, making no mention that the United States not initiate propaganda against Iran, called the Iranian president's speech Tuesday a "positive development."
Carter expressed hope that the 50 American hostages soon would be transferred from their militant captors at the embassy to the Iranian government. The president said that he had no guarantee that Bani-Sadr would keep his hostages on the hostages under Iranian government control if certain conditions were met.
Kassebaum proposes farm bill
WASHINGTON—In an effort to credit crunch on farmers, Sen. Washinton introduced a bill that would limit interest rates on farm operating loans to 12 percent.
"Credit is particularly important when the cost-price squeeze on farmers is tight," Kassbeum said.
Kassebaum said her bill would provide for refundable tax credits for interest charges that exceed 12 percent on operating loans of $25,000 or less.
"The increased cost of money directly reduces profit margins that are already very thin." Khaussa bounsed. "It is more important than two percent in interest for the long term, six to eight percent for the short term."
Spring snow breaks records
GOODLAND—Gov. John Carlin declared a state disaster emergency in five northwest Kansas cities after four to fifteen foreswings and 40 mile ankle injuries.
The storm boosted the on ground to 15 inches at Goodland, which broke a 68-year-old snowfall record Sunday with a total of more than 80
Officials in seven northwest counties were concerned late Monday that yesterday's near-blinked predictions could curtail balloting, so they considered delaying the primary for one week. But the polls opened after only four inches fell in the Goodland area.
The five counties affected by the emergency order were: Wallace, Thomas,
Cheyenne, Rawls and Sherman.
Those counties contained only 17,000 of the state's 1.1 million voters. A light turnout there was expected to have little effect on the overall vote.
KC firefighters ratify contract
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-Kansas City, Kan., firefighters ratified a new three-year contract last night, ending nearly a year of negotiations between city of
Members of Local 64 of the International Association of Firefighters voted 182 to accent the fact, said Fire Cant. Joseph Odey, union president.
About 55 percent of the 378 union members apparently participated in the vote Monday and Tuesday night.
The new contract calls for a first-year 10 percent salary increase, a second-year raise of 9 percent and an 8 percent increase during the final year of the pact. The contract includes a provision to increase the third-year raise to 9.5 percent if the cost of living that year increases by 10.5 percent or more.
Senate blocks Rock Island aid
WASHINGTON - A senator committee yesterday effectively blocked an action and the bankrupt Rock Island Railroad in a dispute with the House over ownership of the railroad.
Commerce Committee Chairman Howard Cannon, D-Den., said there would be no conference committee negotiations toward a compromise between House and Senate versions of the Rock Island legislation until a House-passed rail plan is run. He was unanimously supported by the committee.
The House and Senate have approved different versions of the plan to provide millions of dollars in compensation for up to 5,000 of the 8,000 Rock Island employees who could lose their jobs once the 128-year-old railroad is liquidated under a court order.
Officials have said lack of a plan has stalled efforts to sell major segments of the 13-state system to other railroads.
The House included its Rock Island proposal with plans for $105 million to begin design and buy equipment for 13 proposed high-speed intercity rail passenger "corridors" similar to the Boston-Washington northeast Corridor, for which the House bill authorizes $750 million.
Commuters rise to challenge
NEW YORK -- The-largest rapid transit strike in the nation's history shut down 100,000 people yesterday, but the city's 7.5 million workers made the "unthinkable" workable.
The work stoppage by 35,000 transit workers was compounded by a simultaneous strike by 60,000 employees of the Long Island Railroad, which operated from 1978 to 1982.
"The untinkable has happened and now we have to figure out how to live with the unthinkable and we will, 'declare Mayor Edward Koch.' Life will go on."
So commuters by the tens of thousands walked, bicycled and skated to work. They pooled their cars and chartered buses, boats and airplanes to get to
Geologists fear lava eruption
COUCHAR, Wash. — The Mount Helen volcano blasted ash and steam four miles away on August 16, 2013. It could explate at any time in a fire stream of lava that would incinerate nearby.
The many fissures of the volcano merged into a single giant crater yesterday. The sharpest earthquakes recorded since the volcano blew into activity six days ago jolted the mountain about 3,000 feet below the summit. Volcanologists认为, "the possibility that lava had forced its way to within 3,000 feet of the blackened mount."
"I'm scared to death," said Dan Miller, a volcanic expert for the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied southwest Washington's volcanic peaks for six years. "It is dangerous and I've heard about sightseers flying over the crater and I shudder."
Scientists measuring swelling action near the exploding mountain's cone discovered "a little bit of tilt" in the basin of sparkling Spirit Lake, a geologic feature.
The wall between two large craters spews tons of grit and volcanic steam ackward collared earlier yesterday, forming a single crater in the shape of a pearl.
