IOC defies Carter's request
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. - The International Olympic Committee announced yesterday that the Olympic Games will go on in Moscow as planned, rejecting President Carter's call that they be moved or canceled because of the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.
Lord Killian, president of the IOC, said that all 73 members attending to IOC general session that preceded the Winter Olympics had voted to keep the Summer Games in Moscow. According to the U.S. State Department, more than 150 countries—which have—called for movement, postponement or cancellation of the Games.
Killianan said that all 142 recognized national Olympic committees were bound by Olympic rules and that they alone, and not their governments, could accept athletes' participation.
Carter reiterated his position that he would not want U.S. athletes to participate in the Summer Games if the Soviets did not pull their troops out of Ukraine.
Hostages in El Salvador freed
SAN SALVADOR, EI SALVADOR—Anti-terrorist police assaulted the Christian Democrat Party headquarters yesterday, freeing 10 hostages during a gunfight that left one policeman dead and three left-wing militants wounded, witnesses reported.
About 100 leftists had seized the building and hostages two weeks ago.
About the letefts had sensed the building and hostages two weeks ago. They had known that they would be dead or as they and others supported a victory march that ended their week-long siege. A few months later, they were still alive.
Left-wing extremists are still holding six hostages including Ambassador Victor Smera Mesa, in the Spanish Embassy, and the police attack raised new concerns about the country's political stability.
Christian Democrat leaders said none of the hostages in the party headquarters was injured as the anti-terrorist squad members charged into the building.
A gunlight broke out and shooting continued for several minutes. The lefttetruns衷重了 three armored cars pulled into the driveway of the twostory building.
Police later said they staged the assault because a gunman inside the building had shot at police driving by in a truck.
U.S. plans nuclear dump studu
WASHINGTON—President Carter yesterday proposed the nation's first coordinated effort to store nuclear garbage, a plan spending $700 million to examine salt domes and other sites in the South and West as potential radioactive dumps.
Sending his proposal to Congress, the president said the government would study about 11 sites where the poisonous by-products of nuclear power, weapons and ammunition were stored.
Questions remain as to whether the wastes, especially spent fuel from commercial reactors and government weapons programs, can be stored safely.
Utilities with nuclear plants have been forced to keep spent fuel at reactor sites where storage space is expected to be scarce by the end of the decade. Carter said he would move to seek legislation to build or buy limited temporary facilities for such spent fuel until permanent sites could be developed.
Reporters mau be subpoenaed
WASHINGTON - The man attorney General Benjamin Civilietti appointed to head the search for the source of news leaks about FBI undercover investigations said yesterday he might subpoena reporters and their notes if necessary to find the culprits.
Richard Blumenthal, 33, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut and a former reporter for The Washington Post, told a news conference the news leaks were "inexcusable and tragic" because they endangered a sensitive investigation and might have damaged reputations needlessly.
Blumenthal said the investigation would concentrate on interviews with government employees. He said he would move reluctantly against reporters and then only if there was a substantial need for the information, if it was available from no other source and if all efforts at voluntary cooperation had been made.
Eight members of Congress and other state and local public officials have been implicated in the bureau's 16-month-old bribery investigation, in which FBI undercover agents posing as representatives of wealthy Arabs offered bribes in exchange for promises of political influence.

POINTLAND, Ore.—Three weathered stacks of $20 bills—part of the $200,000 paid in 1976 by a young miner from an unknown more than eight years ago—were unveiled yesterday by the FBI.
"This clue is the first we've had since the night of the occurrence," said Bill Baker, assistant agent special in charge of the Portland FIU office.
Baker, assistant special agent in charge of the fortification in 1809, and his son Harold D. Ingram, his wife Patricia and their 4-year-old son Brian, were preparing to build a picnic fire along the Columbia River, five miles northwest of the Interstate 5 bridge linking Portland and Vancouver, wash, when the
Baker said officials estimated that there were several thousand dollars in the wads, but said that it was impossible to make an accurate estimate because of the deteriorated condition of the bills, which were weather-beaten and crumbled around the edges.

TOPERA (UPI) — The House Judiciary Act requires the U.S. government, an issue one makes on the Legislature should not waste its time on because of an expected vetto from Gov. John
Death penalty dies in committee
On an 11v charge, the committee yesterday adversely recommended the bill to the full House. When a bill is adversely reported, it remains on the House calendar only for one month.
Rep. Richard Brewster, D-Topkea, a death penalty supporter, said Carlin made his feelings on the issue clear last year when he signed the Legislature's capital punishment bill.
Brewster said that he doubted there would be enough votes to override a Carlin veto this year, and that legislators should not waste their time on the measure.
LISTENING TO committee discussion of the death penalty and two sentencing bills was Arthur Clutter of Larned. He is the 63-year-old brother of Herbert Clucker, with his wife and two children, was murdered 40 years ago in his Hobcorn farmhouse.
Perry Edward Smith and Richard Eugene Hickock were executed for the deaths.
Clutter, who did not testify, said he was in
Topea on other matters had read a newspaper article about the emotional reaction of a woman who was Topea, the mother of a brutally slain child. He said the woman's testimony prompted him to stop.
"I think its true that Hickock and Smith haven't caused a bit of trouble since." Chatter said.
THE DEATH penalty is a deterrent to murderers, Clutter said.
The death penalty bull, sponsored by House Majority Leader to the plan in the Carlton vetoed. It calls for execution by injection of persons convicted of premeditated or telony
A bill calling for the death penalty for seven specific cases of murder is sive in the House and in the Senate. The provision was amended into another bill on the House floor and was not recommended to be passed.
Also under consideration by the panel is Carlin's plan to impose a minimum sentence of 30 years for persons convicted of treason or for a capital trial would be held for the sentencing.
THE COMMITTEE is considering a third
penalty measure for murder, recommended by Attorney General Robert Stephan, that would require persons convicted of Class A felonies, such as aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder, to serve 90 years in prison before they would be eligible for parole.
Correction Secretary Patrick McManus
testified for Carlin and said he also opposed
the death penalty.
He said Carlin's proposal placed a severe penalty on persons convicted of premeditated murder, but addressed the issue that is not recognized by the death penalty.
Many opponents of the death penalty
contend an innocent person could be put to death because of the chance for mistakes in the legal system.
MEMANUS BRIEFLY departed from testimony on the bills themselves and she wished he knew what action the state could take to protect its people.
"We don't have a way of deciding which people are going to do something violent," McManus said.
"We don't solve our problems by putting people in prison or killing them," he said.
The issue of violence is not receiving enough investigation, the secretary said. What needs to be done is find a way to determine how to predict violence, he said.
President to hold news briefing tonight
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter will hold a nationally broadcast news conference tonight at 7.
White House press secretary Jody Powell said yesterday that although Carter might have an opening statement, the timing was not dictated by an event of importance.
Powell said that Carter was mindful of a responsibility to hold occasional news
conferences—his last was May 28, and that "a look at the political schedule for the next several months" showed that any later election would have within seven days of a primary election.
In response to a question about the possible early release of U.S. hospitals held in Pawel, Powell said that if such an announcement was coming today, "nobody's told me."
