U.S. denies Navy found jet's 'black box'
By United Press International
Washington denied Japanese news media reports yesterday that U.S. Navy search vessels were preparing to retrieve the flight recorder of the South Korean airliner shot down by Soviet fighters.
The reports followed the dispatch of a 10-member international group, including an official of the International Civil Aviation Organization, to join the U.S. ships searching in the Sea of Japan for the flight recorder, or "black box," of Korean Air Lines flight 007.
"The area where the black box is located is being guarded by U.S. ships and the Americans are waiting for the arrival of officials from Japan and the United States." Aviation Organization. "Kyoto News" a foreign ministry official as saving

work, NHK, quoted unidentified government sources as saying the flight recorder was found amid the Korean plane's wreckage in international waters about 14 miles west of Moneron, a tiny island off the southwest coast of Soviet-held Sakhalin Island.

SOME 17 SOVIET ships were sighted in waters north of Moneron, 15 miles apart from the American search area.
Reports of the imminent retrieval of the flight recorder coincided with Soviet charges that U.S. ships were the mainstay in the progress of Russian searchers
"It is the U.S. ships that maneuver dangerously close to the Soviet ships," said an article in the Soviet military magazine Red Star.
The U.S. Navy categorically denied the Japanese press reports.

"The U.S. Navy has not found the black box. The search is continuing unchanged," said Lt. Gary Shroust at Yokosuka Navy Base near Tokyo.

To meet the need for more programs on campus about women's issues, Stefanie Sanders, Prairie Village sophomore and the vice-president, has formed an independent group called the Progressive Women's Program.
By BRUCE F. HONOMICHL Staff Reporter
KU residence halls lose some women every year to sororities and other living groups because sororites have more programs on women's issues and more collective goals among the women, the vice-president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said yesterday.
AURH forms women's group
The group will ask AUHR for $1,500 in sponsorship money when AUHR's 1884-85 budget comes before its General Assembly for approval tomorrow night. The assembly will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Frank R. Burge Union.
Other allocations provided for in the budget include $1,000, for videotaped movies to be shown in the halls and a planned increase in the association's social fund, which was about $8,800 last year.
THE WOMEN'S PROGRAM is one of several issues included in the budget requests. The budget is tentatively set at about $2,000.
KC school desegregation case will start on time, judge says
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The trial of the Kansas City school desegregation case, which seeks cross-district integration involving 12 districts, will begin on schedule Oct. 31, a U.S. District judge ruled Monday.
The plaintiffs, a group of schoolchildren, contend that the state of Missouri and the Kansas City-area school districts failed to change the law of segregation that was in effect prior to 1954.
Arthur A. Benson II, attorney for the children, told U.S. District Judge Russell G. Clark that there was a "bad-faith failure" on the part of defense attorneys to respond to his requests for information.
HOWEVER, JOSEPH Colagiotti, an assistant attorney general for Missouri, said, "Every time we turn around, Mr. Benson has concocted another piece of evidence he feels he needs and we must provide."
While Clark said, "obviously, it's been one tremendous fishing expedition" by the plaintiffs, he also ordered attorneys for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to look through about 550 boxes of records to find similar information destroyed earlier by the agency.
A businessman is leading a drive to bring both sides to an out-of-court settlement. Raymond Alden of United Telecommunications Inc., said Monday he would not decide until mid-October whether to give up the negotiations.
