NEW DELHI, India — Muslim rebels armed with mortar and rockets amubbed two military convoys conducting sweeps on draft dodgers around the Afghan capital, killing 24 Soviet and Afghanistan government soldiers, a Western diplomat said yesterday.
The Islamic rebels, fighting to oust 105,800 Soviet soldiers backing the communist Afghan regime, also killed a group of former guerrillas who joined the government army, the envoy said.
The reports could not be independently confirmed and the diplomat spoke on the condition that his identity be withheld.
The rebels, armed with rockets and mortars, ambushed a military convoy in Logar Valley, about 20 miles south of south the Diplomat, the diplomat.
THE ATTACK SEPT. 16 killed 24 Soviet and Afghanistan government soldiers, he said.
The convoy, pushing south, stopped often while the soldiers searched villages for weapons and draft evaders, he said.
Rebels ambushed a second convoy in the same area Sept. 19, destroying a dozen vehicles and forcing the group to turn back, the diplomat
The convoys were headed for Pakiya and Pakika in eastern Afghanistan, bordering Pakistan. Rebels have taken over large areas of the two forested, mountainous lands inhabited mostly by Pushtun tribes.
In Pakistan, just across the border, hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees live in U.N.supplied tents, providing continuous support for the rebel struggle against President Babak Karmal, installed in a Soviet-backed court in December 1979.
In A SEPARATE attack, rebels killed several former guerrillas who collaborated with the Marxist government and joined the Afghan
The former rebels, led by a village elder named Sultan, joined the government earlier this month and were then posted to guard the road near the city of Paphim, 15 miles southwest of the capital, the diplomat said.
Homemakers in the community who have been forced to get jobs because they are no longer with their spouses may attend a series of workshops at the University of Kansas to learn how to maintain a home, or the patron of the workshed said yesterday.
Workshops help homemakers cope with problems of work
By the Kansan Staff
"Our program is a self-help program." she said.
Homemakers may participate in a series of workshops beginning tonight, said Andrea Welborn, coordinator of Homemaking Services. Services to the Displaced Homemaker.
EVERY WEDNESDAY EVENING through November 16, the center will sponsor a series of three-hour workshops beginning at 6:30 p.m. in Annex A of the center at 13th and Oread streets, she said.
Turning Point is sponsored by the Adult Life Resource Center of the KU Division of Continuing Education, she said. The Turning Point program is financed by grants from the Kansas State Department of Education.
Tonight's program will emphasize
the need for homemakers to find support from a variety of sources to help them adjust to a new way of life, Welborn said.
Welborn said it was not always easy for them to become involved in the workshops.
Other topics in the workshop series are stress management, financial management, legal rights and concerns, and career exploration.
"It may have taken a lot of gumption to get up the nerve to call because it's asking someone for help," she said, "and that's hard."
SHE SAID THE workshops were designed to make participants aware of the options available to them once they must seek a job or begin a career.
"Often, displaced homemakers feel as if they have no options," she said.
For four years, the center has received a grant of about $30,000 each year to administer the program, she receives the grant, the center must match it.
The workshops are free of charge because they are financed by the grants.
Texans market Hispanic-American Yellow Pages
By United Fress International
DALLAS — Abogados (attorneys),
pan dulces (sweet rolls) and ropa
(clothing) are easier to find in Dallas
that thanks to knives to two brothers
and one timely idea.
Because Hispanic-Americans make up 28 percent of the Texas population, Michael and John Gonzales think their Dallas-Fort Worth Bilingual Yellow Pages fill both the commercial and personal needs of the community.
"We feel that we create bridges between the Anglo and Hispanic communities," said Michael, 31, who is also president of the Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce "We create an inclusive community that untapped sources of revenue and for Hispanics to identify businesses that want to increase Hispanic trade."
JOHN SAID THE brothers had done some research and realized the Hispanic market, which represents about $1 billion in purchasing power in Fort Worth alone, was being overlooked by the Bell System Yellow Pages.
"The regular English yellow pages was started in the 1800s, but the Hispanic market in this country had never had its own pages," he said. "We felt we had enough savvy, guts and hard working ability to give it a try.
"From there it was a tremendous struggle," John said. "We had no advertising, sales or marketing experience. Our first eight months were the hardest part of our lives. We must have worked 17-18 hours a day, seven days a week."
But by the ninth or tenth month they had learned to market the book and

Studies indicate a 63.6 percent increase in Hispanic-Americans in Dallas County from 1970 to 1980 and their median age is 22.

themselfs and "sales really began coming in," he said.
Demographically, the future looks even brighter.
The 1980 U.S. census showed 55,000 Hispanic households in the Dallas area with an average annual income of $16,300 each — representing about 24% of the total land area. The purchasing power for the Fort Worth area was almost $200,000.
