Soviets hinting at withdrawal
The Soviet Union has advised key Asian, European and African countries recently that it will begin with withdrawing troops from Afghanistan when that country's border with Pakistan is stabilized and when Afghanistan has proposed talks with Pakistan diplomats in London reported yesterday.
The Soviet Union blasted troops as "stirring and impudent." Brzezniak, Carter's national security adviser, "has clearly forgotten that the language of Russian is used in talking with the Soviet Union," the official Soviet news agency Tass said.
Brezinski had suggested Monday that a partial pullet would signal the start of a Kremlin "peace offensive" to counter international condemnation of the
Word of the Soviet diplomatic moves had been passed to Western capitals by Indian and other Asian governments, said the diplomats in London, who asked not to be identified. They said that they believed the moves were related to Iran's decision to send troops from Afghanistan or risk a boycott of the Summer Olympics in Moscow.
Religion to be only deferment
WASHINGTON—America's young men and women looking for a sure way that they will have to turn to religion, under President Carter's civilization proposal.
Brayton Harris, spokesman for the Selective Service System, said that unlike previous drafts when there were many exemptions and deferments, the only automatic exemption if a draft occurs under Carter's proposal would be "minister of religion."
Local draft boards will make the decisions about other types of exemptions and deferences, Harris said.
President Carter sent Congress a report this week outlining his decision to call for the resumption of draft registration
The report, in which Carter asked for authority to register women, also said a military belt became necessary; it would be based on a random lottery system.
The lottery system would be based on dates of birth chosen at random, the report said.
The plan ruled out automatic student, occupational and family status deferments in an effort to correct the draft inequities of the Vietnam period which tended to protect the more affluent at the expense of the poor, the report said.
Dole aives support to Baker
WASHINGTON—Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., announced yesterday he was supporting Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., a rival candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, in Puerto Rico's presidential primary election Sunday.
The unusual endorsement came a day after Dole decided not to enter the April 1 primary in Kansas.
It was another signal that Dole's campaign is fatering and may not last long. It is already under pressure from supporters at home to drop his presidential bid.
Dole said that he had not campaigned actively in Puerto Rico, although his name was on the ballot there.
Dole's endorsement of Baker appeared to be an effort to slow the campaign of torner. U. Ambassador George Bush, who won the GOP contest in Iowa Jan. 12, is one of Dole's main supporters.
Dole said he didn't think the move would hurt his chances in New Hampshire's primary.
"No, I don't think so. I think you have to husband your resources," he said. When asked whether he was considering dropping out of the New Hampshire prison system, we thought this is a different ball game altogether. We've got the resources in New Hampshire and we're making progress and I hope to good up some here."
Bill calls for soft drink excise
TOPEAK—The "Peps generation" may have to pay more for its favorite soft drink if a proposed tax on all carbonated beverages becomes law.
Opponents of the bill to levy a state tax on soft drinks told the House that they would not be able to discriminate, would be difficult to enforce and could promote bootfeeding of children.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. William M. Beezley, R-Girard, will levy taxes ranging from two cents on a 16-ounce bottle of carbonated soft drink to $2 on a 20-ounce bottle.
Supporters of the bill say the excise tax could produce at least $29 million annually, which would be earmarked for state reinstations for building projects.
Beezley said that it was time for youngsters, who are the primary consumers of soft drinks, to start paying for their future educations.
"Well, they drink the most of it, and they are the ones who are going to be using our colleges and universities in five or six years, so they might just as well get used."
Joe Lillis, a soft drink distributor in Lenexa, said the tax would create a dual pricing system in the Kansas City metrometropolitan area.
ICC extends embarao deadline
WASHINGTON - The Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday extended the Friday deadline for embarguing incoming traffic on the Rock Island railroad.
A spokesman said the commission agreed on the one-week extension because of the high level of interest by other railroads in purchasing portions of the port.
Extension of the Friday deadline gives the commission and the Department of Transportation some breathing space to work out a transfer of Rock Island properties to railroads interested in acquiring them with a minimum of disruption in service.
The department is assessing bids on the railroad and will make recommendations to continue service on sections for which there are bids and in areas where there are no bids.
Tuition support bill introduced
Under a bill introduced yesterday by Sens. Charlie Angell, R-Plains, and Elwina Wompey, R-Topека, the legislature would allocate only part of the total amount of state funds directly to institutions of higher education. The rest would be allocated by the Governor's discretion hour for any Kansas resident who enrols at an elite post-secondary school.
TOPEKA—Two Republican state senators have introduced a plan that would recoup state financing of higher education and pay for at least part of every county.
Angell said the approach, which had been considered but not adopted in any other state, was based on a voucher system, much like educational grants under the GI Bill. It would provide a tuition grant for any Kansas resident who wanted to pursue a higher education.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MP)—A University of Kansas professor in Iran on a private peace-seeking mission with 48 other Americans said yesterday that the group had to as many as 120 militant students holding hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
Delegation speaks with militants
"We have educated them as to what they ought to do," said nobody else has been taken to them. Everyone else has treated them with contempt, but they are the ones holding them accountable.
City Times from his Tehran hotel, Forer said the Americans had made a peace proposal to represent the militants, the government and the ruling revolutionary council.
Fear that the students' seizure of others is not a problem for other American fathers to transition days ago to try to negotiate a settlement on their own. What does it mean? What what process the delegation might achieve?
Forer refused to divulge details of the proposal, saying only that it is accepted by Iranian authorities, it would bring "some movement" toward resolution of the crisis.
In a telephone interview with the Kansas
"We don't know which way it is going to go and we think it's best if it is kept silent," he said.
Forer said the delegation has been in almost daily contact with the militant students since arriving in Tehran.
"We have talked to as many as 120 students in the Embassy at one time," he said.
Repports have circulated in Washington that the Embassy seize, which began Nov. 1 will end soon, but Fourier said he hadn't heard a similar sentiment among the Iranians.
However, he also wouldn't say whether the Americans had seen the hostages.
However, the professor said he remained optimistic about his group's efforts. The delegation is scheduled to leave Tehran on Friday, the officer said the delegation might stay longer.
"We don't get a sense of anticipation here," he said. "The feeling we get is that they feel they are in for a long haul."
Asked how he felt about criticism lifted at him and the rest of the private delegation, he said, "If people want to say it is worthwhile, I can't imagine what is. How much would you deal with people unless you take the initiative to ask you what you may be asked if you don't try?"
