Meetina with hostages denied
The militants at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran rebuffed a new bid yesterday for a meeting between the U.N. commission on Iran and the american hostages, despite Ayatollah Rubailah Khomiemi's reported approval of such a meeting, Iranian officials, however, said the meeting would take place.
A top Iranian official said Khomeini would have to intervene more directly if the showdown between Iranian officials and the militants were to be resolved.
the showdown between Iranian officials and the militants were to be resolved. Foreign Minister Sadegh Gholzattheb, in an display of anger and frustration, was quoted by the Tehran Techno Azadegan as saying that communication Zionists were irish against the U.N. mission. This was evidently a reference to the militants.
It was the 123rd day of captivity for the 50 American hostages in the U.S. Embassy, and the U.N. Commission's 12th day in Tehran. The purpose of the commission's trip is to bear Iranian grievances against alleged crimes by the deposed shah and the United States in Iran and to seek a peaceful solution to the
Civiletti attempts to plug leaks
WASHINGTON—Condemning "the flood of leaks" from criminal investigations, Attorney General Benjamin R. Civilietti warned Justice Department employees in two special meetings yesterday that he would fire anyone caught disclosure confidential information.
He said his efforts were sparked by the leak of the FBI's Abscam investigation of political corruption and by two other leaks. Eight members of Congress have been named by sources as being implicated in the Abscam case, although no charges have been brought.
Gavietti explained the harm that leaks cause, methods that reporters use to get information and ways of deflecting inquiries from reporters. He said however, that he thought it was proper for reporters to try to get such information.
He said reporters had every right to seek such disclosures and to appeal to car, ear, pride, ideals,动机, interest, anger, unfairness, stupidity, laziness and other reasons.
Civletti has already begun an investigation under Richard Blumenthal, U.S. attorney for Connecticut, to find the source of the leaks.
Balanced '81 budaet improbable
WASHINGTON—President Carter could fail to balance the 188 federal预算 in a subsequent Congress, a congressional study indicated yesterday.
Alicia Richin, director of the Congressional Budget Office, said that if $2 billion and could be pushed to $25 billion by higher military fuel and paylol
Carter ordered a review of federal spending to help him reach his goal of balancing the 1981 budget and to demonstrate his determination to control inthe winner, only to pull back when later tallies showed no one with a conclusive lead. He headed for a win in the heats in the two Tuesday primaries. President Carson and Sen. Howard M. Warner had won each.
Carter's original 1981 budget, *study to Congress on Jan. 28*, called for $516 billion in spending and a $1.8 billion deficit. However, many economists called it "inadequate."
Rivkin said the larger deficit would probably be a result of higher interest on the public debt, increased spending for benefits tilted to inflation, higher fuel costs and higher interest rates.
Last fall, Congress approved a 1980 budget calling for a $23 billion deficit. Budget office projections five weeks ago put the deficit at $40 billion.
The budget office study also showed that spending already approved by Congress had exceeded the 1980 roof ceiling of $474.7 billion by $10 billion, a development that has led to a Senate freeze on new funding for government programs.
Bogota terrorists offered deal
BOGOTA. Colombia-Government negotiators offered a deal yesterday to the terrorists holding U.S. Ambassador Diego Asencio and about two dozen diplomats, sources close to the government said. The deal may have included safe conduct out of the country.
The sources said the proposal was made during the second round of talks in a windowless van parked outside the Dominican Republic Embassy, where the meeting took place.
The terrorists, who have been holding the hostages for a week, demanded $50 million in cash, the release of 311 political prisoners, worldwide publication of a newspaper, and other demands.
The terrorists, who are members of the M-19 guerrilla movement, have threatened to kill their hostages—20 foreign diplomats, two Columbia foreign ministers and four U.S. officials—by embracing the embassy if their demands are not met. They say they are willing to wait as long as two months for a settlement. Government spokesmen have said they will try to get the agreement before the end of the year.
Dipolitic sources said three Latin American countries—Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama—had offered political assylum to the terrorists.
Federal project funds okayed
TOPEKA - The Senate Ways and Means Committee yesterday unanimously enforced a proposed constitutional amendment to permit the state to accept "unilateral" contracts.
The resolution approved by the panel was not acceptable to Gov. John Carlin, who wants the constitution changed to allow the state to spend its own funds on the military.
If two-thirds of the Senate and House members approve the proposed amendment, it will be placed on the November election ballot for adoption or veto.
The amendment approved by the Senate panel on a 9-0 vote would allow the state to accept and disburse federal funds for such things as railroad bed improvement, airport development and mass transit—but still wouldn't permit the spending of state general fund money.
Carlin wants an amendment to allow the state to put up matching funds to obtain federal funds, or to spend its own money if projects are considered
The governor has said Kansas is losing out on available federal funds for railroad track repair because of the constitutional prohibition against
Atchison institution investigated
TOPEKA—A psychologist employed at the Youth Center at Atchison told an investigative committee that the greatest impediment to treatment at that center was overwork.
"They both go back quite a way in the history of the institution and there is lots of animosity between them," Ray said.
Learning resumey before the Special Committee on Social and Rehabilitative Institutions, Darrel Ray said conflicting orders issued by Chief Social Worker Ellen Cameron and Youth Service Director William Vigola divided and confused the staff.
He said Vigola and Cameron have attempted to intimidate their supervisor, Terry Kearns, program director and acting resident director.
- overcrowding—23 boys in a 20-by-29-foot room in some instances;
+ overcrowding—18 boys in a 25-by-26-foot room in some instances;
- Other problems at Atchison cited by Ray were:
- lack of community involvement in the administration
encouragement of destructive behavior by vindictive staff members.
- one shortage of clinical staff;
- lack of community involvement in the institution;
"I've not seen an institution quite as bad as this in all my experience," Ray said. "The attitude of some of the people in negative, they are always after me."
The committee scheduled additional hearings for today.

Race reassessed after primaries
BOSTON (AP) -George Bush gained a hairbreadth victory over Rep. John Anderson Tuesday in the Massachusetts election. He won with 40 percent of Republican leader Howard Baker quit the race, and former President Gerald R. Ford said the contest for the GOP nomination was over.
Ford said the razor margins by which Bush won Massachusetts and Ronald Reagan edged Anderson in Vermont were a small step away. There was no consensus among Republicans.
FORD HINTED in Lauderhill, Fla., that he might enter the league for the first time. Barbara Warren of ABC News Ford said late yesterday that there was a "9-30" chance he would try for the
He said there wouldn't be such a consensus before the GOP national convention, and thus forecast just the kind of campaign he wanted him to an opening for another White House bid.
Baker conceded in Washington that he was out of the race.
"It's pretty clear the campaign isn't going anywhere," he said after lagging far behind the leaders in the first Republican campaign tests.
Because Anderson had taken the lead, several news organizations declared him
KENNEDY WON his home
movie, the 25 percent of
the vote to Carter's 29 percent
president swept Vermont's non-binding
primary with 74 percent of the vote to 28 percent.
Kennedy, saying he had a lift for his campaign and his issues, turned his effort to New York State yesterday, to seek support in the primary which is one of his major targets.
Carter said he was ready to compete for 418 Democratic delegates in 10 states, where primaries will be held or multistate delegation caucuses will get under way next week.
wrote house press secretary Jody Pewley said in Boston that Massachusetts didn't do Kennedy much good nationally because the factory came from his Senate constituents.
"I don't believe folks would view a Carter win in Georgia as a major event on the political horizon," he said.
CARTER EXPECTS a victory there next Tuesday, when adjacent Florida and Alabama hold their primaries as well.
Kennedy captured 77 Democratic nominating votes in Massachusetts, to 34 for Carter. That gave him the lead nationally, with 113 delegates to Carter's 89. But that margin won't survive the South, and Carter campaigners said the president already was guaranteed another 65 delegates in Iowa, although they had not yet been formally selected.
Kennedy is investing little effort in those contests in the president's home territory.
While the Democrats argued about their race, the Republicans shredded theirs. Anderson, the white-heaired liberal congressman from Illinois, said he had been told in a campaign contenders for the GOP nomination by coming so close to the early leaders, Bush and Reagan. In Massachusetts, Bush urged him by 1,280 votes out of nearly 400,000 cast in a GOP primary by a margin of 368 ballots in a governor that drew more than 62,000 voters.
THESE WERE the returns in the Tuesday
primaries:
Massachusetts-Republicans Bush, 124,316, or 31 percent. Anderson, 123,086, or 31 percent. Reagan, 154,196, or 29 percent. Baker, 19,437, or 5 percent. Ford, 4,776, or 5 percent. Hillary Clinton, 4,034, John Connally, 4,014, or 1 percent. Rep. Phil Crane of Illinois, 4,054, or 1 percent.
Three other candidates and uncommitted Republicans divided the rest.
assachusetts-Democrats  Kennedy,
582,144, or 65 percent. Carter, 200,656, or
29 percent. California Gov. Edmund G. Brown
or 1 percent. The rest were uncommitted.
Vermont-Republicans Reagan, 19,374, or 31 percent. And Americans, 18,776, or 30 percent. Bash, 14,093, or 23 percent. Bake, 7,584, or half. No matter had 2 percent and Connally 1 percent.
vernmont-Democrats Carter, 28,708, or 74 percent. Kennedy, 9,913, or 26 percent.
As it turned out, the Republican primary didn't award delegates either, because no candidate got the required 40 percent of the vote.
The Democratic primary there was purely advisory, awarding no delegates.
In Massachusetts, Bush got 14 Republican delegates. Reagan and Anderson 13 apache.
In both states, independent voters flocked to the Republican primaries and boosted the GOP's total vote. In the GOP, turnout was only 31,000 fewer than the party's total registration, evidence of a weakening of support.
Reagan said the crossword vote rendered Anderson's shows meaningless. The former California governor said his show was a boost in alien political territory.
Student Senate votes yes on bill to increase salaries of officers
A Student Senate staff pay increase wi-
sidetracked by lengthy debate on an amendment designed to push the Senate secretary salary up to the level of University-employed employees at a Senate floor. The original bill was passed by the senate.
The amendment, which would have increased secretary Bonnie Dey Neilles' salary from $65 to $700 a month, was based on the university secretary pay scale. The Senate secretary, if classified as a former government minister, benefits totaling more than $700 a month, according to Mikl Gordon, Engineering Senator.
GORDON SAID De Noyles had served as Senate secretary for four years and merited the increase. He said he arrived at the monetary figures by obtaining the salary and asking 35 percent of the number. De Noyles works three-fourths time.
Senators voted 50-31 in favor of the original bill's salary of $620 a month, about a 10 percent increase.
Tim Salter, graduate student senator,
disagree with the vote saying, "I don't
think it is fair, as graduate students are
living practically below the poverty level,
why should we vote all that money for the
city? I am easy to live on what we have to
live on."
The bill also funded a salary increase for the new Senate treasurer Brenn Abbott. The salary for the treasurer position was increased from $200 to $250 a month.
The bill introduced funding for the position of Student Executive Committee chairman Robin McClellan, recently appointed by President Obama to provide a salary of $100 a month.
MATT DAVIS, student body vice president, said the salary was cut under student body president Mike Harper's term two years ago.
