February price index up 1.4%
WASHINGTON--Consumer prices for February rose 1.4 percent according to a government report yesterday.
Last month's increase in the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index was the same as the 1.4 percent rise in January. At the present rate, an annual rate of increase is $0.53 per month.
Price increases averaged just over 1 percent each month last year. Much of the increase was blamed on sharper higher gasoline and home
The Labor Department also reported that inflation was eating into earnings as well.
President Carter is still working out the details of a new, broad-based attack on inflation. However, once in place, the program is not expected to have an impact.

Bombs rock mourning nation
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—Terrorist bomb explosions rocked the capital yesterday, schools closed and the government called for national mourning for Archbishop Oscar Arruilo Romero, a critic of violence felled by an assassin's bullet while he was saving Mass.
Authorities said at least 30 bombs exploded throughout the country between 3 and 4 a.m. on Sunday, according to local media. The bombing took place in the midday morning of the 29-year-old Roman Catholic archbishop.
Local radio stations said the People's Revolutionary Army, one of a half dozen left guardia organizations, claimed in anonymous phone calls that they
A police spokeman said no one was killed or injured. The bombs damaged storefronts, business offices, banks and factory buildings.
Romero, an advocate of social reform, was shot in the chest while at the altar in the chapel of the Hospital of Divine Providence, which he established for terminal cancer patients. A radio station said four gunmen invaded the chapel, where about 150 persons had gathered.
West Bank Palestinians strike
HEBRON, Occupied West Bank - Palestinian Arabs staged a general strike yesterday throughout the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River to protest Israel's plan to settle Jews here, and there were signs the already-strained Israeli-European Palestinian autonomy negotiations faced new trouble.
The decision prompted an almost total shutdown of businesses and schools yesterday in the Israeli-occupied Arab cities of Hebron, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho and Halhoul on the West Bank. Partial strikes were reported in Jenin and smaller West Bank towns.
Israeli spokesman said the only violent outbreak was in the town of Bir Zeit, 15 miles north of Jerusalem, where younsters threw stones at Israeli vehicles. The Army Radio station reported that troops fired into the air to disperse the group.
Wolf Creek shares available
Gil Hanison, general manager of the Northwest Kansas Municipal Energy Agency, said he contacted KG&E twice about buying power. Hanson said Monday that in January 1978 KG&E ruled out plant sales, but that in December 1979 KG&E told him it could sell its up to 60 megawatts of the plant.
KIG&E and Twenty-six rural electric cooperatives are expected to purchase another 41.5 percent of the electricity market.
WICCHITA – Financial difficulties have prompted Kansas Gas & Electric Co. plans to offer 50% of its capital to the Creek nuclear generation plant in order to underwrite the Creek investment.
Hanson said KG&E's offer was for ownership in the plant at a cost of $1,400 a kilowatt, if the municipalities made purchases by Jan. 1.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — More than 10 citizens are expected to testify at a public hearing this week on proposed emergency energy-saving measures, but indications are that most of them will be arguing against one of the least significant of the proosals.

Center to conduct solar surveys
The Appropriate Technology Resource Center (ATRC) and the University class at KU, Weibull said. We now has 30 to 40 members who promote "app-to-class" education that defines as "the use of small-scale, low-cost, energy-efficient, environmentally safe and locally managed meetings of meeting groups."
A Lawrence energy collective, with official sanction from the city, is out to prove that it can shine productively on rich and poor alike.
The community development budget recently approved by the Lawrence City Commission included a $2,000 allocation for solar panels at the Center, a lawrence company that plans to try small-scale solar experiments in community development target neighborhoods—moderate to low-income areas or federal community development guidelines.
GARY WEBBER, a VISTA volunteer and staff member of the center said recently that energy experimentation moved extremely slow among individuals, as opposed to energy corporations, because no local models were available for local residents.
"There's nothing people can walk up to, look at, feel the heat being produced, and say, 'That's not too bad!' " Webber said.
So, with its $2,000 the center plans to saturate residents with opportunities to touch, see and warm themselves with the realthing.
residents to apply for experimental energy projects for their homes.
The center's staff will then conduct "solar access surveys" at the houses of those who apply. These on-site examinations will measure how much the sun is blocked by obstacles such as buildings and trees. They also will check the home's insulation and heat use, and finally will determine what project would best meet the brace's needs.
Starting in June, the center will invite
POSSIBLE PROJECTS, Webber said, are window box heaters that also can be used for growing seedlings or as solar wall-collectors.
City and federal energy projects, he said, often have the "mystique of the expert" to community residents. They see the value of solar energy but feel overwhelmed by it.
Once the staff has chosen the most suitable sites for models, the center will hold workshops to construct them. Weber said. In the workshops, professional car dealers the residents of the selected homes burn tires in neighborhood residents in builds the models.
The amount of money a low-income resident could save on a solar project depends on variables such as the size of the house, the amount of sun. Webber said.
"The antithesis of this, I guess, would be nuclear power," Webber said. "We provide a positive alternative to that."
WEBBER SAID he had two goals for the project—the transfer of skills and the tightening of communities.
The savings are computed as a 'pay-back rate,' the number of seasons it would take to pay for the project materials and labor. The savings are a 'pay-back rate' of one to five years, he said.
The workshops, he said, could provide the skills that would give residents the confidence to truy their own projeets.
The other desired result, he said, would be "the return gotten from things done together as a community."
