KC firefighters walk off job
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The city's 900 disgruntled firefighters still angry about the firing of 42 union members during a 12-day walkout in late 1978, walked off the job last night in a protest over the city manager's decision not to rehire any of the dismissed men.
Firefighters president John Germann had warned the city earlier yesterday that City Manager Robert Kips had until Friday to decide the fate of 42 firefighters.
Police officials immediately alerted all policemen who had received training during the 12-day work slowdown in December to report for duty. However, the officers found doors to the fire stations locked by disident firefighters, leaving the city virtually without any fire protection.
However, Kipp issued his announcement only four hours later, saying he would uphold a decision by the city's personnel board, which said the 42
The action yesterday came only three days after the firefighters had voted overwhelmingly to approve a working agreement with the city contingent on the reinstatement of 41 of the 42 firefighters dismissed during a year-end slowdown. One of the firefighters had already accepted an early retirement.
The firefighters began a work slowdown on Dec. 21, 1979 when union and fire department officials were unable to reach agreement on mandatory overtime pay.
Glickman won't run for Senate
WICHTA-Rep. Dirk Gianckus, a potential challenger for Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., in the Senate, said yesterday that he would not run for the Senate this
Glickman said Dole was beatable, but added that he had decided against entering the race so that he could spend more time with his children and grandchildren.
Glickman said two statewide polls commissioned by his campaign committee showed that although Dole is better known statewide, "among those who know both of us, at this time, I would win. When those who don't know me are factored in, I am within striking distance."
Glickman said that he thought he was doing an "aggressive, conscientious job" for his district and state and could continue to accomplish a great deal for the community.

Hostage flees from querrillas
BOGOTA, Colombia – A Uruguayan diplomat escaped yesterday from the bastion-holden Dominican Embassy in a dramatic dash to freedom, sliding into the shadow of a prison cell.
Authorities left the laifit terrorists fire three times at the fleeing Fernando Gomez, Uruguay's ambassador to Colombia, but missed.
The 42-year-old ambassador made his daring escape despite a shoulder injury suffered when the guerrillas stormed the embassy Feb. 27.
Gomez, the first person to escape during the three-week old standoff at the diplomatic mission of the Dominican Republic, left behind at least 31 other people.
Gomez, in his underwear, opened a second-floor window at about 12:40 a.m. and lowered himself down a knotted string of sheets. The string broke and Gomez dropped to a patch of grass in front of the embassy, authorities and witnesses said.
As he ran for cover on an automobile about 50 feet away, three shots rang out from the embassy, according to the press office of President Julian Cesar
Presidential press secretary Marta Montya said Gomez was in very good health and had no broken bones. She said she suffered bruises from the fall.
Congress reviews new buadet
WASHINGTON—President Carter's revised budget got a rough reception at its debunked reality in Congress while Carter told city officials stm measures to protect consumers.
Sen. William Proxmire, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, took advantage of an appearance by Alfred Kahn, the president's chief inflation expert.
"It is weaker than I had hoped or expected," Proxmire said
Kahn, who defended Carter's revised budget proposal before the Banking committee, and he accepted the contention by other officials that a detailed presentation of the budget proposal would be published.
Proxime issue that despite the attention given to the $13 billion in cuts from Peter's original version of the 1881 federal budget, the reductions announced prior to Proxime were not accompanied by a new rule.
The president said the specific budget reductions he would announce later this month would affect everyone.
Carter's original 1811 budget called for outlays of $616 billion with a projected deficit of 15.8 billion.
The revised version calls for $13 billion in cuts, between $611 billion and $613 billion in spending, and a surplus of between $111 billion and $131 billion.
Census to include illegal aliens
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday refused to postpone the April 1 start of the 1880 census, turning down an emergency request by 26 members of Congress and two organizations who want to force census workers to keep answering questions that questioned the constitutionality of a census that would include illegal aliens.
Bani-Sadr backers aain seats
Supporters of Iranian President Abbasollah Banis-Sadi, who says he wants an early end to the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, scored new gaisner yesterday. Tehran votes in national parliamentary elections. However, the conservative, clergy-dominated Islamic Republican Party still held an overall lead.
This was an apparent reversal of first results from the provinces, which heavily favored the IRP.
PHILADELPHIA—Two women were wheeled into surgery at Graduate Hospital, but through a mixup, doctors got them confused and started to give each the operation that was intended for the other, the hospital confirmed yesterday.
Independent candidates won 21 of the declared seats and may hold the balance of power.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon reported that a six-ship Navy force carrying 1,800 Marines entered the Indian Ocean on Sunday, raising U.S. naval strength there by more than 40%.
Surgeries unwittingly switched
Incisions had been made in the wrong places before the mistakes were discovered. One woman who checked in with a ruptured disc had a nodule removed from her parathyroid gland in the front of her neck, while the patient was given IV fluids underwent the initial stages of a cervical laminectomy at the back of her head.
Hospital officials refused to say whether the unnecessary surgery would affect the future health of other patient. They said the mistake was "emtis."
Alfred Edmondson said his wife went for back surgery last Thursday but when he went to see her afterward he was summoned to a room down the hall by
"He said there wouldn't be any problem," Edmonson said, "that everything would be taken care of, and he told me there wouldn't be a charge for the door."

Lawrence city officials are half a continent away this week, putting local financial concerns into the hands that control the purse strings.
The federal CD program is an important source of funds for low- and moderate-income neighborhood associations and renovation projects in Lawrence.
Lynn Goodell, director of community development, said yesterday that the Community Development Grant Act was
He said that Lawrence's application for $39,000 in CD funds for the next fiscal year hinged on the federal CD re enactment.
"Whenever the federal government talks about budget cuts, you naturally start worrying." Goodell said.
The commissioners' trip will be financed from city budget funds that are set aside each year for meetings to deal with the well-being of lawrence, Binns said.
Commissioner Don Binns, who did not attend the NLC meeting, said the city planned to attend open sessions and held a lobby in support of continued CDL funds.
He called the reenactment "routine" but would not rule out the possibility of CD budget cuts.
Tonight's weekly city commission meeting has been canceled.
