the bill, and only two Democrats voted in favor of it.
Several of the bill's opponents said that Kansas border counties would lose gasoline sales to neighboring states where gasoline taxes were lower.
Weaver said, "I am concerned because I live on the Oklahoma border. Half the people down there work in Oklahoma, and over half the people in Wyandotte County work in Missouri. Where do you think they're going to fill up with gas?"
STATE REP. Rex Crowell, R.Longton,
introduced the Republican proposal, which
would increase the state's motor fuels tax from 7
cents a gallon to 11 cents a gallon on July 1, 1983.
On that date every year after 1983, the tax would
be increased to $2.50 per gallon 10 percent of the
national gas price average.
The tax increase is expected to bring in $4.2 million - $14.8 million for local governments and $27.4 million for the state — in fiscal year 1984
Hayden said, "If we'd passed this bill years ago, we wouldn't have the problem with highway finance that we have right now."
Senate Majority Leader Robert Talkington, Senata, said he thought the Senate had enough money to pass a bill.
But Carlin has said he would veto the bill as madee by the House because it was inadequate:
SOME REPUBLICAN lawmakers proposed amendments to the bill to bolster the funds for highway repairs, and the House approved them.
State Rep. Stephen Cloud, R-Shawnee Mis
State Rep. Bill Fuller, R-Miltonvale, introduced another amendment that would transfer the source of money for the Highway Patrol from the Department of Transportation to the general
sun, proposed an amendment that would allow the state to transfer $60 million from the freeway fund to the highway fund over a three-year period.
He estimated that the transfer would give the Department of Transportation an additional $18
"The Highway Patrol serves all the residents of the state, not just drivers," he said. "It is time we come to grips — both parties and the governor — with a meaningful highway pro-
THE HOUSE also approved an amendment by State Rep. David Heinemann, R-Garden City, that would exempt gasolol from the provisions of the bill and that would freeze the tax on gasolol at its present rate of 6 cents a gallon.
But the House did not approve an amendment by House Minority Leader Fred Weaver, D-Baxter Springs, to delete the tax increase and replace it with the governor's proposal.
Fuller said, "As a member of the House Transportation Committee for five years, I have seen five different highway proposals from the governor. This one is just the old shell game of taking money out of one pocket and putting in another. It doesn't raise one new dollar.
"No program is any good unless we provide some new dollars."
Crowell said, "This amendment represents absolutely no effort to compromise. It says it has got to be the governor's way or none at all."

FBI director William Webster said in a statement that all three Soviets were believed to have left or to be in the process of leaving the country.

An official in the press affairs office of the Soviet Embassy contacted last night expressed surprise about the developments and asked which Soviet officials were involved.
"ALL POLITICAL decisions are usually announced by the State Department, which as far as we know has not announced it," the official said. "We have nothing to say. We have no information."
Webster listed the Soviets and the charges against them as:
- Alexander Nikohayevich Mikheyev, 44, a diplomat attached to the Soviet mission to the United Nations, who tried to obtain classified material from an aide to Rep. Olympia Snowe, R Maine, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He was told three days ago he would be expelled.
- Veyegem Nikolayevich Barmanyunsev, 38, a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Army attached to the Soviet Military office in Washington, who received recognition for his graft. He was declared person non graft.
- Oleg Vadimovich Konstantinov, 33, a third secretary at the Soviet Mission to the United Nations, was confronted by FBI agents in
Manhasset, N.Y., April 2 as he tried to obtain classified information on the aerospace industry and related military technology in a meeting with a double agent. He was allowed to leave the country voluntarily after he identified himself as a diplomat.
FRI spokesman Roger Young said that the cases did not necessarily signal an increase of Soviet espionage activities in the United States, but they "vividly paint a picture of Soviet activities."
A total of 50 Soviets have been expelled from France and Britain in recent weeks on espionage charges.
The Soviets expelled American diplomat Richard Osborne from Moscow earlier this year on grounds that he was caught spying for the Nazi regime. Osborne worked in the embassy economic section.
WHEN THE Soviets expelled Newsweek's Moscow bureau manager, Andrew Nagerski, last year, the United States retaliated by asking Russia to release the official Soviet news agency, to leave the country.
"But, this will not cause a crisis in relations," he said. These guys knew they were running risks in what they were doing and if they got caught, they would have to suffer the consequences."
"This is not in retalation," a U.S. official said. They were up to no good and gave caught. This was their plan.
Religion
that to accept Christ is the only way," he said. "I don't think denomination plays into that."

BRENTON SAID that Campus Crusade attracted new members through special events and personal contacts. In March, the group invited Ronaldo to give a speech, to give a speech, titled, "What 14,000 Students Want in a Man." About 450 students attended the speech, Brenton said.
Campus Crusade: plans events of general student interest to attract non-Christians, he said. A non-Christian might then become interested in joining Campus Crusade, he said.
But, Brenton said, Campus Crusade never pressures anyone to come to meetings or become involved.
Ward Wiebe, Hillsboro senior, leads members of Ithus in song. The song lyrics are displayed on the wall behind Wiebe. Ithus meets Thursday nights at First Presbyterian Church, 2415 West 23rd St.
"We're not cramming anything down anybody's threats," he said. "I've seen some calls to do some things — trying to pressure people to come to meetings and become involved."
Amy Moyes, Westwood sophomore, said he was attracted to Crusade by "just seeing the plain, hard truth. The truth is attracting people."
"On the issue of fundamentalism, in times of economic austerity and hardships, there is a tendency to seek simple answers," he said. "Either fundamentalist religion or simplistic politics tend to gain in popularity in times of national recession or stress."
Bremer said he thought the popularity of fundamentalist Christian groups ran in histori-
MINISTERS AND students from the mainline campus groups, however, saw other reasons.
"MANY ARE IN the searching stage in their lives. They -are frequently asking radical questions," he said. "Part of our special mission is dealing with radical questions of life and faith."
BIM students at ECM raise more questions about their faith than students in the fundamentalist groups do. he said.
Bremer said that ECM believed in a more balanced approach to Christianity, which included both Bible study and concern for social action. The center sponsors Bible study, prayer sessions and seminars on various social and Biblical topics.
"My own conviction is that offering students
simphetic, anxious, and unresponsive
treatment with have blind faith," is, in the long
term, the answer.
run a disservice to students."
However, Vandegrift said that Iethus members were encouraged to examine each Bible lesson themselves.
"We really encourage people to go back to the Word and test what is said," Vandgrift said. "People need to know what to believe and why, not to accept it just because someone said it."
The Rev. Vince Krische, director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Rd., said he questioned the teaching of Christian Bible-study leaders in fundamentalist groups.
HE COMPARED learning the Gospel from an unqualified Bible teacher to learning English
my young with a lot of groups that crop up is that they don't have tradition. Many of the simplistic answers are given to complicated questions in life — they don't work."
"I know there is a strong fundamentalist group activity on campus," Krische said. "I have some questions about all that. Some groups treat religion like an extra-curricular activity. Everyone on our staff is qualified. We don't send anyone to a street corner.
About 900 to 1,000 students a week participate in at least one activity at the St. Lawrence center, Krische said. The center conducts M*
at Danforth Chapel daily, as well as Bible study, social events, and weekly discussion groups for students in different career areas.
UNLIKE SOME of the other mainline groups on campus, Krische said, the St. Lawrence center has grown markedly in participation over the past few years. He attributed the growth to greater publicity and a wider variety of activities at the center.
Despite the differences between the two camps, several ministers said, the Biblical emphasis of the fundamentalists has spilled over into the mainline churches.
Hoeller said that he thought some Protestant denominations were moving away from the emphasis on social issues, in favor of more Bible study.
"There isn't the energy for issues that there was in the past," he said.
TOM RYAN, assistant pastor at First Presbyterian Church, said that many churches were realizing that social action without a biblical base was meaningless.
ryan is an occasional guest speaker at Icthus. "Until you have the resource of Jesus Christ, all social ministry is hot air and extremely ineffective," he said. "It has to come from a greater commitment than, 'hey, I want to help the world.'"

the Senate plan and decided to require the $5.5 million be used one for on-campus employment
At Bunten's urging, the committee voted to delay starting the program.
The $281,000 approved for a new work-study program can be used for off-campus employment. Employers must match 50 percent of the salaries paid to the students.
The seven universities are supposed to make arrangements with private businesses during the fall semester.
AFTER HAGGLING OVER the date the program should start, the conference committee agreed to give the $281,000 to the seven universities in the spring of 1984.
"It's a very new program. It is going to take a lot of time to work it out and make arrangements."
State Rep. Bill Bunten, R-Topeka, told committee members that his committee was reluctant to let universities begin spending the money immediately, because the program was
But Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, disagreed with Bunten's assessment. "It's not going to take any time to put that program together," he said.

to be a nice man. He went to go that far, in ah honesty," he said. "We don't think it's any gravity train in terms of lots and lots of buck."
Hess said student salaries weren't even being reenlisted with the $281,000 work-study plan.
He said also that an expected 4 percent increase in student, faculty and classified employee salaries would not help offset the $500,000 lost last year from the Regents budget.
Carlin asked the Legislature to delay the 4 percent increase until January, which would mean an actual salary increase of about 2 percent.
Mark Tallman, executive director for the student lobbying group, the Associated Students of Kansas, said he was pleased that work-study survived.
"It's the best deal we were going to get," he said.
ASK drafted the work-study proposal. Tallman said he was disappointed the program had been reduced so much from Carlin's original $700,000 recommendation.
