Panel OKs fuel aid to poor
WASHINGTON—A Senate-House conference committee gave final approval yesterday to a $22.3 billion windfall profits tax on the oil industry after agreeing on a formula for helping millions of Americans cope with rising fuel costs.
The bill earmarks nearly $77 billion in the 1980s to help an estimated 18 million families near or below the poverty level. But the committee rejected a provision aimed at helping "working poor" families whose incomes were up to $2,200 a year.
The measure intends to assure that the oil industry does not profit unduly from President Carter's plan to reduce U.S. reliance on imported energy.
Attached to the bill is a major new tax break aimed at encouraging savings in first- and second-year college students. The $100-$400 for individuals—earned each year from interest or dividends.
A majority of the 26 committee members from the two houses signed the compromise bill. A final vote by the House and Senate would send the bill to the Senate.
Iran to admit 'approved' press
The ruling Revolutionary diplomat has decided to welcome into Iran all foreign journalists approved by Iranian diplomats in their home countries, which could include figures like the former US ambassador.
In other developments in Tehran, the U.N. commission continued to investigate the arrest of the American-educated navy chief, Adm. Mhaloud Almavi, the arrest of the American-educated navy chief, Adm. Mhaloud Almavi,
In Washington, State Department officials said it "could take a lot longer than any of us would like to gain freedom for approximately 50 Americans now." The department said it would continue the investigation.
Egypt, Israel establish relations
Egypt and Israel established full diplomatic relations for the first time yesterday, a day hailed in Cairo and Jerusalem as a major chapter in the history of the region.
As ambassadors from the former enemies presented their credentials in the two capitals, Palestinian Arabis protested by closing down businesses and schools in the Israeli occupied territories. Moslems staged similar strikes in other cities in the country, came to a standstill at midday. Protesters clashed with riot police in Sudan.
The diplomatic normalization came as Israel and Egypt squabbled over the proposed sale of $2 billion worth of U.S. weapons to Egypt, including the ado 10 percent.
Rep. Philip Crane of Illinois 2,633, or 2 percent.
However, the key obstacle to a broader peace remained the unsettled political future of the Palestinians. The U.S-Egyptian-Iraqi talks on autonomy for the Palestinians the U.S.-occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip resumed today in The Hague, Netherlands.
Because the Egyptian-Iraeli treaty shattered the unity of the Arab world against Israel, most Arab nations condemned Sadat as a traitor.
Some of yesterday's protests against normalization were staged within miles of the ceremonies.
Poll sites keu issues in N.H.
NEW YORK — New Hampshire Republicans gave Ronald Reagan his victory yesterday because he shares their conservative philosophy and their stands on immigration.
President Carter defeated his opponents in the Democratic presidential primary, the poll said, because New Hampshire voters said Americans should stand by their president in times of crisis. Furthermore, they just couldn't vote for Sen. Edward Kennedy and California Gov. Gavin D. Edmund. G.J., the poll of
The AP-NEW News polls were based on interviews conducted outside polling places across New Hampshire with nearly 1,800 Republicans and 1,200
Reagan won the votes of 55 percent of those New Hampshire Republicans who call themselves conservatives. Bush got 22 percent of their ballots, while Tennessee Sen. Howard Baker received 11 percent. The rest were scattered among other candidates.
Rep. John Anderson, who was fighting Baker for third place, managed his substantial showing by doing extremely well among the small group of liberal Republicans in New Hampshire — 40 percent to Reagan's 22 percent—and by winning a deep impression during the televised debate last week among the GOP candidates.
Water spill shuts down reactor
CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla.—A nuclear power plant reactor shut down automatically yesterday when its instruments and control systems lost power. Some radioactive water was spilled inside the plant when an emergency cooling system switched on, officials of Florida Power Corp said.
There was no leakage of radioactive material outside the Crystal River No. 3 plant and no danger to the public, said the utility and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"There was no damage to the reactor, no damage to the fuel rods and no radiation released anywhere," company spokesman Bob South said late Friday.
South said there were 43,000 gallons of water in the bottom of the containment building and technicians were draining it and waiting for normal evaporation. The company said its water was safe.
Some employees were asked to leave the plant but others remained on the job, South said.
In related news, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman John Ahearne told Congress yesterday that the NRC was ready to begin licensing nuclear power plants again for the first time since last year's Three Mile Island accident.
Aheane said his agency's self-imposed moratorium—he called it a "pause"—could end in the next few days when the NRC considers granting an additional period of time to address its concerns.
Flood gets year of probation
WASHINGTON—Former Rep. Daniel J. Flood, 70, was sentenced to a year's probation yesterday after pleading guilty to conspiracy under a plea-bargain agreement.
The Pennsylvania Democrat had been charged with conspiracy, bribery and perjury, but under the plea-bargain arrangement he admitted guilt to conjuring. A second defendant, David Dixon, who had flooded Heath was charged with taking more than $50,000 in bribes for using his influence as chairman of an important appropriations subcommittee in the House.
Flood was declared mentally competent to stand for retrial last month after a week of hearings. Doctors agreed that the once-powerful lawmaker suffered from organic brain deterioration, but U.S. District Judge Olive Gauch ruled that mental impairment was not great enough to prevent Flood from ading in his legal defense.
Photogenic derriere costs job
Stutz, a 21-year-old secretary, said that one night after work last month at Deer & Co., she decided to christen the new copying machine of the floor by sneaking into the photocopy room and making a picture of her bottom, while another secretary stood watch at the door.
MOINE, Ill. —Joel Stutz said she had no idea that when she put her bare bottom on the photocopy machine, she was putting her job on the line.
Later, her superiors asked her about rumors that said she had thrown a big party in the room, that three men had helped her get undressed and then guarded the door and that she had sent copies of her rear as an invitation to a birthday party.
Weather
Warmer temperatures will spread across Eastern Kansas with highs in the 40s today and the mid 50s Thursday. Skies will be partly cloudy today and tomorrow with a low tone in the 30s. Winds today will be from the southeast at 5-15 mph.
Carter, Reagan take N.H. race
CONCORD, N.H.-President Carter defeated Sen. Edward Kennedy in New Hampshire's presidential primary election on Tuesday, a challenger conceded nothing. Ronald Reagan was a Republican landscape over George Bush and reclaimed command of the White House.
From Kansan Wire Services
Kennedy, in what amounted to a celebration of defeat, told cheering supporters that his campaign issues would take on the public eye where the camasin has to be wated.
Carter, at the White House, said his victory showed that the voters' support the policies that we've espoused in international affairs has helped deal with the inflation issue and energy."
The Republican primary produced a virtual withdrawal by Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas, who ran dead last and he said he enter no more primaries because "it's not worth it."
With all the vote counted in New Hampshire, Democratic returns showed:
Carter 53,586, or 49 percent.
Kennedy A1 540, or 38 percent.
California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr.
10,727, or 10 percent.
Former Texas Gov. John Connally 2,215, or 2 percent.
Two minor candidates received scattered support.
THAT TRANSLATED into 10 Democratic nominating votes for Carter, nine for Kennedy. Thus far this year Carter has gained 55 nominations to 16 Kennedy's 38.
Sen. Howard Baker Jr., 18,760, or 13 percent.
Reagan 12,734, or 50 percent
Bush 33 304, or 23 percent
Rep. John B. Anderson of Illinois, 14,622,
or 10 percent
In the Republican contest, it was December 2016. 98 percent
Reagan's victory brought his GOP Rangers to a win, and he has seven altogether. Anderson picked his first two delegates, and Commonly still had one delegate, won earlier in the carnival.
Dole had 608 votes and former President Gerald R. Ford had 380 write-in votes
Bush, who came to New Hampshire as the leader off two earlier victories, was the big loser, but said one night's disappointment would not block his cannage.
"I am absolutely convinced I'm going to win this nomination," he said.
THE FORMER United Nations ambassador and CIA director said his target was to narrow the field to two candidates and he said that had been accomplished.
"Essentially, it's boiling down . . . to a two-man race" with Reagan he said.
Baker thought otherwise, saying, "I believe that now we're into our second set of frontrenders and there will be another one still."
Anderson said he was elated to be fourth, saying, "I can keep going as long as I have clean laundry."
Crane said he wasn't quitting, but added he might later. He said he would consider endorsing Reagan if Reagan continued to do well.
"Obviously, there isn't much of a camp out there," Dole said, in an interview in the lobby of his water楼 apartment after the polls closed in New Hampshire.
"We've done about all we can do with the money we have," he said.
TONIGHT IS
Dole's final disqualifies him for further federal matching funds, which have been the lifeblood of his campaign since January.
As he did after the Jan. 21 Iowa caucuses, where he received 1.3 percent of the vote, Democrat Mike McCain has said that he has spent the bulk of his time since last fall working on the oil windfall profits bill.
Pitcher Night AT THE HAWK
DOLE SAID he would decide to stay in the race or quit sometime soon.
"I think I'm going to participate in the so-called South Carolina debate on Thursday," she said. "We're going to have money or management or an organization out there so we're not trying to do it."
Hours before his victory, Reagan announced a startling shakeup of his organization, ousting his long-time company manager and instaling a new one.
the firing of his campaign manager, John P. Sears, was announced as Reagan awaited the New Hampshire returns. Sears, unchallenged master of Reagan's strategy in the early 1980s, was bullied by William J. Casey, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Charles Black, Reagan's top delegate hunter, and James Lake, his camaign
spokesman resigned in apparent protest of Sears' dismissal,
Peter Hannaford, a longtime Reagan aide, took over for Lake and announced the shakeup.
Reagan said he wanted to emphasize "the people-to-people type of campaigning" and to reduce campaign expenditures.
Hanford said Sears' ouster was the result of disagreements on the use of the campaign's limited funds.
WHILE NEW HAMPSHIRE conducted its keynote program, Minnesota held precinct caucuses beginning the process of selecting delegates to the convention delegates and 34 Republic delegates.
The president easily won a Democratic victory, and she showed the president with 24 percent of the ballots. Thus, his supporters will dominate he eventual state of state delegates.
