No suspects in Med Center deaths
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-Two possible leads--one a suspicion the killer was a medical school dropout—into the shotgun slayings in a University of Kansas Medical Center emergency room were run down yesterday as dead ends by a special police squad.
Dalley would not say how officers disproved a theory that a disgruntled or vengeful former medical student was the man who shot an intern and a patient. "I don't think I know," he said.
Police spokesman LL Mike Dalley said the most promising leads were found groundless by some detective legwork.
Earlier an officer had said a former student who flunked out of medical school in 1970 was being sought for questioning. The name of the student was
The assailant was described as 6-foot with medium or shoulder-length hair, a mustache and several days' growth of browhair. Witnesses also said the man was wearing black clothing.
The other dead end, Dailey said, was a tip that one of the victims had testified against a man on a previous charge, and the shooting was revenge. The man that officers suspected was found in the city jail and had been there since Thursday, leaving police with no suspect.
Democrats object to delayed grants
WASHINGTON-Majority Democrats on a House education subcommittee told Education Secretary Terrell Bell yesterday that President Reagan had no right to suspend processing of more than 1 million applications for college student grants.
"Obviously, when I get an order from the president I comply with it," Bell testified in hearings before the Postsecondary Education Panel.
Democratic Rep. Theodore Weiss of New York demanded that Bell and his counsel cite the law that gave Reagan the right to suspend the processing.
Earlier this month, after Reagan's Jan. 29 postponement of regulations, Bell offered several large changes in administration of the grants that he provided to the U.S. military.
James Moore, acting deputy assistant secretary of education for student aid, said 1 million to 1.4 million student applications had been delayed, and if Congress let the department go ahead with the deferral, the backlog could be disposed of by June.
Bell said the deferral would lower the awards by about $120 to students whose families have other income to contribute toward educational costs. He insisted students from families with incomes of less than $11,000 or $12,000 would not be affected.
Senator proposes nine-month draft
WASHINGTON—Democratic Sen. Ernest Hollings of South Carolina proposed yesterday to create a men-only draft for nine-months of military service to remedy racial and class injustices in the volunteer service and to give America "a credible fighting force."
Arguing that the 8-year-old volunteer force is a failure militarily, financially and socially, Hollings said a return to the draft would send a demand for higher salaries.
"The best signal we can give to the Soviets and our allies is a return to the draft. It would show that we mean business," he told reporters before introductory statements.
Hollings envisions a nine-month military service for 18- to 22-year-old men, with certain exemptions. He said he favored drafting women but thought since the issue was still before the courts and would be better left alone for now.
Hollins said, as he had predicted in 1973, that "the poor, the black and the disadvantaged" constituted the bulk of the volunteer force. he asked 25 per cent of volunteers to be paid.
"More than a racial problem, it is a class problem," he said. "Even the white recruits are drawn from the poorer and less-educated segments of society."
U.S., South Africa meet secretly
WASHINGTON-U-N. Aambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick met secretly last week an officer, State Department and South African officials confirmed yesterday.
The previously undisclosed meeting directly contradicted earlier assurances by the department that no members of the South African military delegation had met with any American policy-level officials and the department had not even been aware the South Africans were in the country.
The officials said the Kirkpatrick meeting with Lt. Gen. P.W. Van der Westerhuizen, head of South African military intelligence, took place March 15 in New York, just before the South African and four other officers left the United States at the request of the State Department.
They were asked to leave the country when the State Department discovered their military ranks. Under U.S. policy toward South Africa, which includes a total ban on the sale of military equipment, members of the armed forces are not allowed to visit the United States on official business.
Last week, State Department spokesman William Dyess said the South Africans had met only with a low-ranking member of the National Security council staff, and one of the officers made a social call on an American friend stationed with the Defense Intelligence Agency in the Pentagon.
Officials said an investigation had been ordered to find out who knew the Kirkpatrick meeting had taken place and why an official spokesman was involved.
Court upholds statutory rape laws
WASHINGTON—A fragmented Supreme Court, rejecting a sex discrimination challenge, today uphold statutory rape and punish men who commit such crimes.
The 5-4 ruling, involving five separate opinions, held that California's statutory rape law did not discriminate against men, even though the law prohibits such offenses.
The court said the statute was justified "to prevent illegitimate teen-age pregnancy by providing an additional deterrent for men."
The court also upheld a Uttah law requiring a doctor to notify, "if possible," the parents of a minor seeking an abortion.
ne justices ruled the statute "plainly serves important state interests . . .
and does not violate any guarantees of the Constitution."
and does not violate any guarantees of the Court's interest interests.
Writing for the court, Chief Justice Burger rejected the contention
"The Constitution does not compel a state to fine tute its statutes so as to encourage or facilitate abortions." Burger wrote.
The court refused to reconsider a case that played a key role in its landmark ruling that held a death sentence was not cruel and unusual punishment.
Over the protest of Justice William Rehqunit, the court refused to hear an appeal by Texas of an appeals court decision ordering a new trial for Jerry Lane Jurek on the grounds that his second confession was given involuntarily and could not be used at trial.
Polish union leaders debate strike
BYDGOSZC2, Poland—The independent Solidarity union's sharply divided leadership argued past midnight yesterday in a "life or death" meeting to decide whether it should call a general strike to protest a police attack against its members.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa appealed for moderation to avoid an open and possibly bloody confrontation with the government, but a union communique said a majority of the delegates at the meeting appeared to favor a strike for Friday.
As the union's national coordinating committee met into the early morning hours, Power-led Warsaw Pact forces apparently extended maneuvers in and around Poland until the end of the week, and Deputy Prime Minister Mieczyslaw Polski warned that the country's fate was in the balance.
But Rakowski was reported to have told Walesa Sunday that the government was not afraid of a general strike and that bloodshed probably could not be avoided.
ASK favors alteration in open container bill
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
TOPEKA—The Associated Students of Kansas want a bill altered so that it would require anyone convicted of transporting an open container of either beer or liquor to give up driving temporarily.
Robert Bingaman, executive director of ASK, asked the House Federal and State Affairs Committee to consider making the change in the bill proposed by State Sen. William Morris, R-Wichita.
The original version of the bill required any driver under 18 convicted of transporting an open container of even if it was not changed.
BINGAMAN TOLD the committee that aslk supported the Morris bill, it thought that "the parameters of law should be made to make it applicable to all drivers."
convicted of transporting an open container of alcohol to give up his license for three months.
The hill is supported by the Kansas Beer Wholserals Association, the dry forces and the Kansas Highway Patrol, in addition to ASK.
The Senate Transportation and Utilities Committee amended the bill last month to allow a judge to restrict a license if a suspension would cause a hardship for the driver. The committee did not consider the age issue.
Debate on the amendment and final action are scheduled today in the House
He said the Morris bill was "an alternative to raising the (beer drinking) age to 21."
BINGAMAN TOLD the committee that ASK, which helped Morria draft the bill, would support the legislation even if it was not changed.
committee, which heard a repeat of testimony given in Senate committee hearings last month.
Merris said he had no argument with eliminating the age limits in the bill, but added that younger drivers accounted for about 70 percent of numbers of alcohol-related accidents.
He said that the 15-to-19 age group, while making up less than 4 percent of the total drivers in Kansas, accounted for almost all of alcohol-related traffic fatalities.
"This alone would cause you to have some concern for that age group," Morris said.
MORRIS TOLD the committee that taking away a driver's license was the best deterrent.
"Probably one of the most prized possessions of a person that age is the driver's license," he said.
Sgt. William Jacobs of the Kansas Highway Patrol said the state had problems with people transporting open containers, but that amending the bill to make it apply to all age groups would not place a stress on the patrol.
First coalition files for ballot
Jacobs said that in 1979, the patrol arrested 1,209 people for transporting an open container.
He said in the first 10 months of 1980, the patrol arrested 967 people on that charge.
With four days left to file, only one coalition has entered the race for next year's Board of Class Officers.
Gail Abbott, Student Senate elections co-chairman, said that candidates probably had waited until after spring break and would file this week.
"We expect a lot more candidates before Friday's deadline." Abbott said.
The Advance Coalition, organized by Chris Mehl, Overland Park junior, and Maureen Regan, Wichita junior, filed yesterday.
Advance's candidates for senior class officers are Mehl, president; Regan, vice president; John Best, Evanston, Ill., junior, treasurer; and Kathy Gibbons, Prairie Village junior, secretary.
The coalfounder's candidates for junior class officers are Gerry McNearney, St. Louis sophomore, president; Anne Cotopassia, St. Louis sophomore, vice president; Fred Barton, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore, treasurer; and Jane Rasmussen, Lewood sophomore, secretary.
Mark McKeen, Overland Park freshman; Blair Tinker, Winneck, III; freshman; GIGI Gutekunet, Overland Park freshman; and Shari Ashner, Overland Park freshman are the two finalists next year's sophomore class officers.
Mehl said he was surprised that no other coalitions had filed.
"I can't believe that no one else is running against us yet," he said.
