Campaigns in Illinois intensified
CHICAGO--With Gerald R. Ford out of the picture, Ronald Reagan and George Bush intensified their fight against blunt John B. Anderson's efforts to drive the illinois primary
*assured by fresh trumpets in Democratic caucuses in South Carolina, Mississippi and Wyoming, President Carter was headed for his crucial test in Illinois.*
Carter won Puerto Rico's Democratic primary by more than 10 percent over Sen. Edward Kennedy, but was only one delegate ahead in a race.
Bush won Puerto Rico's winner-take-all GOP primary last month.
Kennedy backers accused President Carter's campaign of fraud in the primary. The Kennedy camp said ballot boxes were left unlocked and the voting machines were broken.

Miller praises economic policy
WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary G. William Miller said yesterday President Carrie Johnson "will provide medicine" and predicted it will raise the inflation rate to 1 percent by year 8.
"The first priority is to turn around this inflation psychology." Miller told interviewers on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Last year's inflation rate was 13 per cent, which was the highest since 1992. The annual rate of increase has slowed in recent years, budget and tightening credit control policies. The president also has imposed an impact on the economy, according to a report.
Two members of the Senate Budget Committee, who appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," echoed Miller's assessment that balancing the budget was the first step toward stemming inflation. They expressed optimism that Congress will go along with Carter's plans to scale down federal spending.
Miller said that despite soaring inflation an unexpected "consumer psychology" prevailed.
"Behaviors began to change," he said. "Spending was being elected rather than saving; buy paw, rather than wait for another time."
or saving; buy now, rather than wait for another time.
Consumers persist in borrowing to buy and decrease savings, he said.
Fuaitive tied to campaign raid
The FBI said yesterday that one of the terrorists who ransacked Carter's headquarters in Chicago has been identified as a fugitive wanted in
in simultaneous raids Saturday morning, small bands of masked invaders raided the Carter office in Chicago and the Manhattan headquarters of Mr. Trump's campaign.
In both places, they tied up the campaign workers, searched the files, and spray-painted the walls with Puerto Rican nationalist slogans and the initials of their names.
Campaign workers in both camps Sunday said operations were back to normal except for the rafters on the walls.
An FBI spokesman said a campaign worker identified one of the invaders as Oscar Lover, a federal fugitive being sought on conspiracy charges in connection with the plot.
Chicago FBI chief James Ingram said the attacks in both cities were carried out by at least four men and one or two women.
The FALN has claimed credit for 100 bombings in the past six years in major U.S. cities, including New York, Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago. The group operates on the U.S. mainland but is linked to at least one coordinated bomb attack in Puerto Rico last October.
The initials FALN stand for Fuerras Armadad de Liberation Nacional, the Armed Forces of National Liberation, a group authorities describe as a handful of people, who want independence for Puerto Rico, which now has commonwealth status with the United States.
Militants vow to obey leaders
The Moslem militants mottled the U. Embassy said yesterday they would obey the orders of Iran's new parliament, whose makeup was disputed by President Abbashah Bani-Sadr. Bani-Sadr last week's elections would be poulled if young firing allegations prove true.
With half the returns from Fridays' polling counted, the fundamentalist Islamic Republican Party appeared headed for control of the 20-seat Majlis, or
But defeated leftist and independent candidates protested alleged election law violations by the party, which is dominated by Moslem clergymen and is run by a far-right group.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has ruled that Iran's new parliament will decide what happens to the hostages after it converts in mid-May. A second vote is expected.
Sad-Stir, who said Friday that he had personally met instances of fraud while touring polling booths in Tehran, ordered an investigation of the voting.
"Obviously, wherever there was extensive fraud, the elections shall be annulled, as no one can defend improper elections. However, I do not believe such fraudulent acts apply to all regions." Bani-Sadr was quoted by Tehran Radio as saying.
Engine part lost before crash
WAHSAW, Poland—The Polish jetliner that crashed killing all 87 persons aboard lost part of one huge turbofan engine minutes before it slammed through an earthen wall into a 40-foot deep mast, airport sources said yesterday.
Capt. Paul Lipowczan, said to be one of the Polish national LOT Airline's most experienced pilots, had just enough time before Friday's crash to alert Warsaw air controllers and instruct the four stewardesses on board to dress themselves in fireproof overalls, the sources said.

Shah too weak for operation
PANAMA CITY, Panama—the former sham of Iran returned to his island home yesterday after doctor said he was too weak for surgery.
Famed Houston heart specialist Michael DeBakey, who toppled for Panamanian doctors for examination, helped the hospital recover.
The shah was to have his enlarged spleen removed, but a team of American doctors said the 60-year-old monarch should return to Concordia island and be returned to England.
Mark Morse, a spokesman for the shah, said the former ruler had suffered a swollen spleen "over the years."
The shab underwent a series of medical tests over the weekend. The hospital received reports from residents and staff describing how decided to postpone the surgery after reviewing and analyzing the results-including the outcome of the scans and the results of the tests.
"It goes up and it goes down," he said. "Right now it's not as bad as it had been, but it still swollen."

Paraphernalia ordinance studied
Staff Reporter
Do the visibility and availability of drug paraphernalia in Lawrence encourage the use of drugs by children and teens? Commissioner Ed Carter thinks so, and he is encouraging them to consider an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of paraphernalia to minors.
By LYNN ANDERSON
If the bill passes, it could face challenges to its constitutionality. Such challenges have besieged similar bills in recent months in Kansas and other states.
An Overland Park ordinance that the school is modeled after was enacted just August 14, 2013. It was uplifted in Johnson County District Court of Arkansas; it is now in the Kansas Court of Justice.
"At least such a law would show that it's not an acceptable thing, and sometimes I think that's important," Carter said last week.
Whether he submits a local ordinance depends on the fate of a bill in the Kansas Senate that would outlaw the sale of drug-related items—such as roach clips, water pipes, and cocaine spoons—in stores within stores in stores that allow minors.
The bill, sponsored by State Rep. W Edgar Moore, R-OLathe, passed the House 121-2 and is now in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Moore said that he had heard of no opposition to the bill and that he expected the legislature in two or three weeks.
NEIL SHORTLIDGE, Overland Park
assistant city attorney, said he expected the appeals court to uphold the ordinance, even though a similar Texas ordinance and a similar Texas ordinances had been struck down.
Shortlidge said cities, towns and counties all over the country had requested copies of the Overland Park ordinance to try it on their own.
He said Oathe and Lenexa had recently passed ordinances and that Kansas City, Mo. was considering one.
"I assume the rationale is to find some way to discourage drug use by school children," he said.
The most vocal supporters of the Overland Park ordinance, Shortridge said, are teachers in school districts, school districts, parents of school children, mental health experts, and city and county officials.
OPPOSITION, he said, came only from three local head shops that sell drug parapheraemia—and from the National legislation for the Repeal of Marijuana Legislation.
"They claimed it was unconstitutional, that items can have legitimate and illegitimate uses." he said.
Shorttitle said he expected the Legislature to pass the bill.
"If the vote of the House is any indication," he said, "I assume it will pass with flaving colors."
He said he expected a number of cities to pass identical local ordnances to ease enforcement through municipal courts. With just a state law, he said, a violation in
Carter said it was a possibility that Lawrence might get its own ordinance.
Lawrence would have to be prosecuted in district court.
"If it takes a local ordinance to get the local control we want, we'll try for one," he said.
CARTER SAID that at last week's city commission meeting the commissioners authorized the city staff to lobby in support of the state bill.
But Carter said he was realistic about the limitations of such an ordinance in soulechine drug use among minors.
"I'm fully aware that if they're determined enough, they can get it," he said. "But I'm looking for those who wouldn't do it unless it was readily accessible.
"You're not going to eliminate drug abuse. But if you stop 5, 10, 15 percent of use, or if you keep some children from startling, you're helping."
Representatives of Headquarters, a local drug rehabilitation and crisis center, say they feel even less optimistic about the effectiveness of an ordinance. Doug Ramsey of Headquarters said he was sure they wanted drug paraphernalia he would它eit.
"If they're 15 or 16 or 17, they'll know
someone 18 or 19 or 20 who can get it," he said.
RAMSAY SAID it was hard to predict the value of paraphernalia laws because no studies had been done to gauge their effectiveness.
He 'said the most important drug deterent was education that "kids know what a drug will do, how it will affect them."
"Then the person can make up his mind from good information," he said.
TRAILRIDGE
Lawrence city attorney Celt Knoxson said he had not yet been asked to look into a paraphernalia ordinance. But assistant city manager James Evans told we were studying the Overland Park model.

Wilden said he would not be surprised if Lawrence enforced an ordinance to complement the law state. He explained that the city had "home rule" powers, by which it legislation patterned after a state law to strengthen it for local enforcement.
