Moslems decry Soviet actions
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Foreign ministers from 34 Islamic nations adopted a resolution early today condemning the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and demanding the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Soviet troops from that Moslem nation. It also brought a boycott of the Olympic Games in
The resolution, a severe rebuff to the Soviets who have been wooing World and Moslem support, said that the conference condemned the Soviet military aggression against the Afghan people and denounced it as a fragrant violation of international laws, covenants and norms.
In another harsh rebuilf to the Soviets, the resolution called on members to envisage through appropriate parties the non-participation in the summer Olympic Games until the Soviet Union withdraws all its troops from Afghanistan.
The Palestine Liberation Organization also was represented at the conference but Afghanistan sent no delegation.
Vessel collides with oil tanker
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.- A 180-foot Coast Guard vessel collided with an oil tanker last and sank with 53 persons on board, officials said.
A fishing boat picked up 27 survivors from the Coast Guard buoy tender Blackthorn within 90 minutes after the collision. Helicopters and other boats were sent to attempt to rescue the others, Coast Guard Petty Officer Lance Jones said.
It was not known how many crew members were aboard the oil tanker. There was no word whether any oil was spilled from the tanker Texaco Company. The company did not disclose this.
Utility rate increase requested
KANAS CITY, Mo.—Kansas City Power & Light Co. filed petitions yesterday seeking emergency rate increase in Kansas and Kansas, citing the state's request to increase power generation.
One company official said the request for an emergency rate increase of $50.3 million was to ensure the utility's financial survival.
Louis Rismanus, vice president for corporate planning and finance, said the emergency request would mean that a residential customer who uses 600 watts of electricity could be served.
The company serves about 30,000 residents in Western Missouri and eastern Kansas, including 17 percent of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Rasmussen said the company is in critical financial position because of inflation—which increased 17.9 percent in the Kansas City area in the last year—but it is still confident its business will remain strong.
"Quite frankly," he said, "electricity is below the price necessary to cover the actual costs of providing it."
The request is pending before the Missouri Public Service Commission and the Kansas Corporation Commission.
Saudi Arabia raises oil prices
NEW YORK - Saudi Arabia, the largest member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the supplier of about 7.4 percent of U.S. oil, told customers yesterday it had increased its base crude oil price by $2 a barrel, Exxon Corp, announced yesterday.
The move lifted the average price of a 42-gallon oil of OPEC oil from $87 to about$ 8. A year ago, OPEC oil sold for an average of $13.50.
A 80-barrel boost in December touched off a wave of increases that raised the price of gasoline and heating oil 14 cents or more in recent weeks. Yesterfrom the "windfall profits tax" that Congress is expected to levy on oil-money earnings. Personal income tax collections are projected to drop above the 1980 level to $7.44 billion next year.
Bani Sadr refuses aid offers
Iran's president-elect yesterday called on the United States to acknowledge its crimes in Iran as a prelude to the release of American hostages in Tehran and rejected an offer of U.S. military and economic aid after they are freed, a French newspaper reported.
The daily newspaper, Le Monde, also quoted president-elect Abolhassan Bani Sadr as saying that while Soviet troops in neighboring Afghanistan were Iran's most immediate threat, Iran wanted no interference from either Moscow or Washington.
In Washington, the U.S. State Deparment,imented a conciliatory tone toward
can's newly elected leader and expressed hope that the 12-week-old hostage
(Philippe) would be freed.
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance offered werden to work with Bani Sadi end that the president would not predict the effect his election would have on the U.S. economy.
Vance reaffirmed U.S. support for the independence of Iran and all other countries in the region, including Afghanistan.
Kennedy links crisis to Carter
WASHINGTON—Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, seeking to reinvive his presidential campaign, blamed President Jimmy Carter yesterday for the Iranian crisis and said restoring draft registration was a step across the threshold of Cold War II.
In his own state of the union message, Kennedy also called for a six-month wage and price freeze and immediate gasoline rationing.
Kennedy's gasoline rationing plan follows the lines of the president's standpoint which approval Congress approved last year. Kennedy supported the standout
But this was the first time he had advocated mandatory wage and price controls.
Kennedy said his proposed controls would apply not only to wages and prices but also to profits, dividends, interest rates and rent.
Kennedy's statement on Iran was the strongest yet from any presidential candidate. Kennedy said the administration's policy could lead to the hostages
Drys begin 3.2 beer campaign
The Rev. Allen B. Rice II, executive director of the Michigan Council on Alcohol Problems in Lansing, will speak on his state's experience since 1978 when Michigan voters approved a legal drinking age of 21 for all alcohic beverages.
The Rev. Richard E. Taylor Jr., president of Kanans for Life at Its Best, face would prove that success has a 25 % reduction in Michigan traffic. He said he hopes to get the message across.
Funds needed for rain-making
"An additional one to two inches of rain during the growing season could be effectively produced," said W.C. Klostermeyer of the department's Water and Soil Service.
"That could conceivably increase agricultural production by three to six bushels of wheat an acre," Klostermeyer said.
WASHINGTON - The Interior Department is asking Congress for more than $7.1 million to continue research on rain-managing techniques that could ease flooding.
The federal government has become increasingly involved in the problems of declining water supplies, especially in the southern portion of the High Plains where underground water has been all but depleted in parts of Kansas and Texas.
Researchers have predicted that by the end of the century the primary water source for the region, a huge underground rock formation called the Ogallala Acquifer, could be drained in other areas as well unless changes are made. The researchers for about half the nation's bison cattle and nearly a fifth of its corn.
Weather...
Today's weather will be cold and mostly cloudy with occasional furries, according to the National Weather Service in Topka. The high will be in the low 20s with a 10 to 20 mph winds from the east. Tonight's temperatures will be in the low teens with a chance of snow tomorrow.
WASHINGTON (AP)–With the oil-rich country poised to advance toward Monday asked Congress to approve a $816 billion election-year budget that aims most new election at energy and defense expense.
Budget proposal boosts defense
Carter's budget proposal for the 1981 fiscal year was the largest in the nation's history and represented a $2 billion increase over this year's federal spending. Military funding got the biggest boost, Military Funding 1127.4 billion in 1980 to$ 14.2 billion in 1981.
This year's deficit, which Carter had expected to hold close to last year's $27.7 billion, is now in the billions. The sharp increase was blamed on part on U.S. spending for grain purchases and Pakistan aid in the wake of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.
The budget project a $15 billion deficit next year, the final admission that Carter has been unable to fulfill his 1976 campaign promise to balance the budget.
ALTHOUGH THE budget document acknowledged that continuation of inflation at more than 10 percent this year would be unacceptable, the council tax brackets by 1981, it proposed no tax cut.
Tax and other revenues are expected to increase to $600 billion in fiscal 1981, which begins Oct. 1. About$ 14 billion will come
“If the economy begins to deteriorate significantly, I will consider tax reductions and temporary spending programs for job creation targeted toward particular sectors of economic stress in this region.” But I believe economic conditions require for restraint.
REACTION TO Carter's budget was mixed, although there was general praise from Congress for his decision to increase military spending.
He added that the average family of four would end up paying at least $533 more in taxes.
Sen. Bill Roth, R-Del., called the spending package "a campaign budget designed to avoid offending anyone in an election year."
But the senior Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, Sen. Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma, praised Carter for resisting an election tax cut.
"It makes no sense to provide a fictitious cut in taxes out of borrowed money," he said.
THE RESTRAINT in what Carter termed a "prudent and responsible" budget was most evident in social-spending plans. The system has not been able to increase from increases for defense, energy and such
Nevertheless, key democratic groups, crucial to Carter's re-election effort, pushed a bill that would cost $2 billion in program that would cost$ 2 billion a year by 1982. The program would mean a 20 percent increase in the budget for the poor and continuation of $2 billion a year in general revenue sharing for state governments.
“uncontrollable” items as Social Security payments, the “reduced in the budget” overall is reduced in real terms” because of inflation.
Carter's budget document repeatedly called for a halt to American Afghanistan and in Iran, where Americans are being held hostage, and his desire to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign crude
"I cannot ignore the implications of terrorism in Iran or Soviet aggression in Afghanistan." Carter said.
He proposed that defense spending in 1981 increase $15.3 billion over fiscal 1980 to$ 142.7 billion. This represents a 3.3 percent increase, even after inflation is taken into account.
In addition, Carter budgeted $10 million to resume registration of draftage youths. Another$ 10 million may be needed, budget officials said.
Part of a $2.5 billion contingency fund was budgeted for economic and military aid to Pakistan, which borders Afghanistan.
On energy, Carter proposed to boost oil prices by $1.2 billion in financial 1981 energy. In real time proposals, Carter urged$ 600 million increased spending for car pooling, auto insurance and fuel.
Energy assistance for poor families would be expanded from this year's $1.6 billion to$ 2.4 billion.
Other programs for which Carter recommended higher funding in 1981 were:
- Social welfare programs, pushed up $73 billion as a result of spending promises from previous years or automatic cost-of-living benefits or security recipients are to get$ 5 billion of this.
Cities that suffer from high unemployment when the economy falls into recession so-called counter-cyclical measures in 1981 was rejected by Congress last year.
The list of proposed savings was longer. Carter proposed adjustments in federal pay levels to bring them in line with private pay and save $2.7 billion.
He also proposed saving $800 million in Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the needy by forcing hospitals to contain care. This proposal has been hung down on Governor Cuomo.
Another $500 million would be saved by "reform of the school lunch and child nutrition programs, primarily to focus on the needy."
Cherry Manor lowers skill rating
By ANN SHIELDS
By ANN SHIELDS Staff Reporter
Eleven of the 57 patients in Lawrence's Cherry Manor Convalescent Center will have to find a home in another county next month.
Owner Charles Pomeroy, Toperak has requested that the State Department of Health and Human Services, her home's rating from skilled to intermediate, thereby limiting the kinds of patients served.
KU should have winter fuel supplies
The University of Kansas should not expect a program of last winter's experiments because of mild weather and energy conservation, machinists and director of facilities and operations, said David E. Hoyt.
"I'm optimistic that we won't have any heating problems, even if we have a long cold spell like last year," he said.
Last winter, KU's gas supply was cut off during cold weather and the power plant was forced to use its heating oil reserves to keep the buildings warm.
KU has been conserving gas by setting its thermostats at 65 degrees, Perkins said, and to ensure that they stay there, maintenance crews make sod checks of the buildings.
The KU power plant normally runs on natural gas, but if the Gas Service Company experiences a shortage, the plant may be cut off, he said.
But this winter the fuel tanks are full, he said. Because of ample fuel supplies and conservation by the public, Perkins no longer problems in heating KU's buildings.
That situation arose last winter when a shortage of heating oil occurred, Perkins said.
Skilled-care nursing homes can accept patients who need regular professional care, such as treatment after surgery and hospitalization, but intermediate facility facilities cannot.
"This was not our own decision, but one that was made for us by our inability to find qualified nurses to meet federal regulations," Romero said yesterday.
State officials said the closest skilled-care homes were in Topeka and Kansas City, Kan.
SKILLED HOMES must have a registered nurse on duty during the day and a licensed practical nurse at night, but intermediate homes need only an LPN during the day and nurses 'adults' at night. Geralds department of health and environment, said.
Also, skilled homes must provide more hours of nursing care for each patient, Black said.
Pomeroy said Cherry Manor had not had the personnel to qualify for a skilled rating for a year.
"Our administrators and staff members have sweat blood attempting to find more people," he said.
He said he spent almost $5,000 on emplacement agency fees and almost $3,000 on advertising in Lawrence, Topeka and the Kansas City area last year.
"Some people have the idea that federal regulation and good care are synonymous," he said, "and that's not true. The level of responsibility to do with being federally skilled."
Cherry Manson will continue to provide services, such as respiratory, occupational, speech and physical therapy, which are offered in the area but not intermediate facilities. Porcovo said.
HOWEVER, he said he thought Cherry Manor still was providing skilled care.
Kathy Smith, administrator of Vailviewie Care Home, who has been advertising in Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan. After hearing Mr. Roeder, she said she also had trouble nursing nurses.
"They're just not out there," she said.
"They're just not out there," she said. **SINCE HASEKLYD** Indian Junior College discontinued its LPN training program, and he had a licensed nursing program, she said.
And the few available nurses prefer to work in doctors' offices where they have regular hours, she said.
