KC firefighters walk off job
KANAS CITY Mo.—The city's 600 disgruntled firefighters still angry about the job last night in a protest over the city manager's decision to rehire any
Firefighters president John Germann had warned the city earlier yesterday that City Manager Robert Kripke had until Friday to decide the fate of 42 firefighters who were under contract.
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 dissident firefighters, leaving the city virtually without any fire protection.
However, Kipp issued his announcement only four hours later, saying he would announce a decision by the city's personnel board, which said the 42 residents had been released.
The action yesterday came only three days after the firefighters had voted overwhelmily to approve a working agreement with the city contingent on the restatement 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. Dani Glickman, a potential challenger for Sen. Bob Dole, Jr. in the Senate, said yesterday that he would not run for the Senate this year.
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 family.
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.
Khan said he still was interested in considering statewide office. "I am not sure if I will face a 'formidable, resourceless' opponent in Dole, Gickman said."
maude, resourcelt in Dole, withdrawn said.
"As far as Joe's dole in campaign, he is unmatched." Glickman said.
Hostage flees from guerrillas
BOGGTA, Colombia - A Uruguayan diplomat escaped yesterday from the GOTAIA-d held Dominican Embassy in a dramatic rush to freedom, sliding through the streets of Bogota.
Authorities said the leift terrorists fired 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 with the diplomatic mission of the Dominican Republic, left behind at least 31 other
Gomez, in his underwear, opened a second floor window at about 12:40 a.m. He dropped the umbrella into the room where Gomez dropped to a patch of grass in front of the embassy, authorities and
As he ran for cover under an automobile about 50 feet away, three shots rang out from the embassy, according to the press office of President Julian Cosar
Presidential press secretary Marta Montoya said Gomez was in very good health and had no broken bones. She said he suffered bruises from the fall.
Conaress reviews new budaet
WASHINGTON—President Carter's revised review gave a rough reception at its debut yesterday in Congress while Carter told city officials stmeasures to avoid overreaction.
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, said he accepted the contention by other officials that a detailed audit of the company's financial statements
Promiserie that despite the attention given to the $13 billion in cuts from the 181 federal budget, the reductions announced Friday would have little impact.
The president said the specific budget reductions he would announce later this month would affect everyone.
Carter's original 1981 budget called for outlays of $616 billion with a projected deficit of 18.8 billion.
The revised version calls for $13 billion in cuts, between $611 billion and $13 billion in spending, and a surplus of between $11 billion and $13 billion.
Census to include illegal aliens
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday refused to postpone the April start of the 1800 census, turning down an emergency request by 26 members of Congress and two organizations who wanted to force census workers to keep separate records. A judge questioned the constitutionality of a census that would include illegal aliens.
Bani-Sadr backers gain seats
This was an apparent reversal of first results from the provinces, which heavily favored the IRP.
Independent candidates won 21 of the declared seats and may hold the balance of power.
Surgeries unwittingly switched
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 a million.
PHILADELPHA—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.
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 taken to the ward underwent the initial stages of a cervical larynomyctin 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 "emergency" rather than "non-emergency."
Alfred Edmison 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." Edmondson said, "that everything takes care of, and he told me there would not be a charge for the operation."

Lynn Goodell, director of community development, said yesterday that the Community Development Grant Act was
He said that Lawrence's application for $839,000 in CD funds for the next fiscal year hinged on the federal CD reenactment.
"Whenever the federal government talks about budget cuts, you naturally start worrying," Goodell said.
He called the reenactment "routine" but would not rule out the possibility of CD budget cuts.
Commissioner Don Binns, who did not attend the NLC meeting, said the city officials plan to open access sessions and give lobby in support of continued CD fund.
