Hawaii's erupting volcano sends lava near 30 homes
VOLCANO, Hawaii — Lava flowing from Kilauea Volcano came within two miles of a housing development yesterday and officials feared forest fires could be sparked by the eruption, which sent fiery fountains surging 100 to 150 feet into the air.
Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Harry Kim said there was no immediate threat to the 30 or 40 homes in the Big Island's Royal Gardens subdivision, but a National Guard helicopter was sent out to evacuate any flow. It was two miles from the subdivision boundary early yesterday.
Hawaii County firefighters already had three other brush fires on their hands yesterday, spawned by severe drought conditions.
Robert Decker, scientist in charge at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said, "We're watching it closely."
Kiluaea began erupting sporadically Jan. 3. Decker said the current activity is part of a vigorous phase which began Feb. 14.
Eagleton backs his anti-abortion act
WASHINGTON — Sen. Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo., said yesterday that he thought his proposed 10-word constitutional amendment, saying that the Constitution does not secure the right to an abortion, would get more Senate votes than any other anti-abortion measure.
And Sen, Robert Packwood, R-Ore, who is threatening to wage another fillbuster as he successfully helped to do last year, predicted the new law.
Eagleton's amendment merely would state, "A right to abortion is not secured by this Constitution."
Eagleton said his proposal would return the legal situation to where it was before the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision which overturned a precedent.
Constitutional lawyers Laurence Tribe of Harvard and Lynn Wardle of Brigham Young University, who differ over abortion, agreed the amendment would nullify the Roe vs. Wade decision.
Bombs found near Las Vegas hotels
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Dynamite bombs were found at three Las Vegas strip hotels yesterday in a 12-hour chain of events that started with an explosion and then exploded into flames.
Owners at the Parkway Theater, located in a large shopping area two miles east of the strip, received a bomb-exertion threat before the opening.
Bombs were discovered outside the Stardust, Frontier and Desert Inn hotels in the re-dawn hours.
As a safety precaution hundreds of guests at two of the hotels were directed to leave their rooms briefly, while most gamblers and guests at the third hotel were unaware of the problem.
Bomb squads transported the bombs into a remote desert area where they were exploded.
Extortionists never contacted any of the hotel owners
CARE packages flown into Detroit
DETROIT — Sixty-eight CARE packages from West Germany have cleared U.S. Customs and are ready for distribution to the poor and hungry of Detroit, officials said yesterday.
The packages from Frankfurt, containing 1.300 pounds of food, vitamins and clothing, were flown at no charge by Pan American Airlines into Detroit Metropolitan Airport Saturday.
After clearing customs, they were delivered to Mayor Coleman Young, whose spokesman said deliveries would begin as soon as possible.
Many of the CARE packages came from West Germans who received similar parcels from the United States following World War II. The West Germans were responding to recent German television and newspaper reports about hunger in Detroit.
Michigan nun protests order to quit
DETROIT — A Roman Catholic nun ordered by her archbishop to resign as director of the Michigan Department of Social Services is picking up support from other nuns, including one who held a similar post in Vermont.
More than 300 nuns from several religious orders gathered at Marygrove College Sunday night to protest last week's order by the Most Rev. Edmund Szaka, the archbishop of Detroit.
Soka called on Sister Agnes Mary Mansour to leave the post she has held since Jan. 3 because she had failed, he said, to publicly denounce state-financed abortion for the poor.
So far, Mansour, appointed by Gov. James Blanchard, has indicated she planned to go ahead with confirmation hearings in the state Senate despite the archbishop's order.
Sharon files libel suit against Time
TEL AVIV, Israel — Former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday filed a 263,000 libel suit against Time magazine over a report that said he may have encouraged Lebanese Christians to massacre Palestinians in Beirut refugee camps, an aide said.
The suit was filed in Tel Aviv District Court against Time Inc. of New York and Time-Life International of Amsterdam, aide Uri Dan said. The suit seeks $263,000 in damages and a retraction.
In its Feb. 21 issue, Time said it had learned Sharon visited the family of slain Lebanon President-elect Bashir Gahmil before the Beirut massacre Sept 16-18 and "reportedly discussed the need for the Phalangists to take revenge for the assassination of Bashir."
The day after the Time report was published, the Defense Ministry issued a denial.
Ex-presidents meet to help Rickover
WASHINGTON — The three former presidents, making a rare joint appearance, yesterday helped retired Adm. Hyman G. Rickover launch his $14 million foundation.
Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter were among 500 people who paid $1,000 a person to attend the testimonial to Rikover at the White House.
Carter has been particularly close to Rickover and named his autobiography "Why Not the Best?" after a question the crusty admiral put to him when Carter was joining the nuclear submarine force in the early 1950s.
Rickover, 83 and a 1922 graduate of the Naval Academy, retired last year after 63 years of service.
The dinner was arranged to launch the Rickover Foundation, which the retired admiral hopes will attain financing of $10 million.
Mercenary says 10 POWs remain in Asia
NAKHON PHANOM, Thailand — American mercenary James "Bo" Gritz resurfaced from an apparent secret mission into Communist Laos and found evidence that at least 10 American prisoners of war were still alive.
By United Press International
"I have found that there are Americans alive in captivity in Communist Asia and there are more than 10 of them," Gritz said in a radio interview after he surrendered to Thai authorities for questioning.
His discovery that there were more than 10 American POWs still alive is "no longer a question of belief. It's a question of fact," Gritz said. "Now the question is what we're going to do about it as a nation."

Two Americans associated with Gritz, Lance Trimmer, 45, and Lynn Standerwick, 26, were arrested in Nakhan Phon Fanb. Feb. 13 for illegal possession of sophisticated radio equipment.
He said two more Americans would surrender shortly at Nakton Phamon University.
"If I were to say that I had been involved, it would certainly be in violation of law and so not having a visa, there's not much of a way I could have been there legally," Grits said in an interview from tail with CRSD Radio.

But the agency told him to "tone down his profile" after he became increasingly vocal about his beliefs that they were still American prisoners left behind.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, in closed hearings, considered the government involvement in the Gritz missions. According to executive branch accounts committee members received, the Defense Intelligence Agency first encouraged Gritz's efforts to rescue POWs.
Supreme Court upholds order breaking up AT&T
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, splitting 6-3, yesterday uphold a court-ordered breakup of American law that would affect everyone who uses a telephone.
The justices, in a brief order, affirmed a landmark settlement that will bring about important changes in how telephone services are provided and may raise the average customer's bill for local service.
The high court's action yesterday clears the way for massive restructuring of AT&T, ordered last
THE FEDERAL government, which requested fast action in the case, last year settled its eight-year-old antitrust lawsuit against the world's largest private company. But some states threatened to stall the reorganization on grounds that it interfered with their right to regulate utilities.
August by U.S. District Judge Harold Greene. Greene is expected to approve a plan to spin off AT&T's 22 operating divisions as part of a new phone service, by the end of the year.
The Court, on a 7-2 vote, also ruled that cities could fight unemployment by requiring construction firms working there to object to hire a quota of local residents.
IN A SIGNIFICANT ruling for other towns plagued with high unemployment, the justice rules that Boston could impose a local hiring rule on all firms trying to win contracts for government-funded public works projects.
The decision reverses a Massachusetts ruling that had struck down Boston Mayor Kevin White's orders to award city public works contracts only to firms that filled at least half of the jobs with local workers. The state court found that it violated the Constitution's
ban against state interference in free trade.
Ignoring protests that the quota would drive up unemployment outside Boston, Justice William Rehqunit wrote that a city is free to "favor its own citizens over others" in its private business dealings.
A city runs into problems only when it tries to regulate the marketplace, which only Congress has the power to override the Constitution, Rehnquist said.

The government appealed a California ruling that the curb on the

The justices will rule on the issue next year.

In other action yesterday, the high court:
- **Took up another important trust dispute, agreeing to decide what actions taken by a manufacturer for your amount to illegal restraint of trade.**
- Said it would decide what foreign dissidents who wish to remain in the United States must prove to show that they had been persecuted if deported to their homeland.
Some law students await fall class grade
Staff Reporter
By ANGELA HOISINGTON
One of Heller's students, Gary Zangerle, Audubon, N.J., first-year law student, said that students in Heller's two-hour Methods and Institutions class could not compile their course requirements rank without a grade from the class.
Grades from last semester's classes are history to most students at the University of Kansas, but more than 70 students of Francis Heller, professor of law, have not yet received their grades for a class they took last semester.
AS SUMMER job application deadlines draw nearer, Zanger said some students were beginning to complain about not having their grades.
He said that Heller told one student
"I think it demonstrates a lack of concern for the anxiety of first-year students," Zangere said. "He's a good teacher, but I'd be confident that any other law professor would have the test done by now."
he would have all the tests graded in early January,
Heller is the only professor in the School of Law who has not yet turned in grades for all of his classes. Law students take final exams during regular exam weeks, but the other receive their grades after other students.
JOE REEBIN, Dodge City first-year law student, said that although he too had not received a grade for the class, his GPA would affect his GPA considerably.
Grades for law classes, Rebean said, were generally released later because of the nature of the exams, which consisted of hypothetical, analytical cases.
He said, however, that firms hiring students for summer employment would probably need final grades to compare students.
Heller said he had no objection to students pointing fingers at him for not knowing his identity.
"Undoubtedly, students have a right
to be unhappy with me," he said. "I'm
unhappy with myself."
He said he could not accurately predict when he would have students'
THE COURSE is not a part of the traditional law curriculum, Heller said. If a prospective employer has questions concerning a student's grade in the course, Heller said he would be willing to employ the grade if it were available.
Michael Davis, dean of the School of Law, said the school had set a mid-January deadline as the last date professors could turn in grades. But every year, Davis said, some faculty members do not meet the deadline because of the nature of the final exams.
Davis said he did not think that Heller was ignoring his responsibilities. He said he was willing to let Heller submit the grades as soon as he could.
"It's regrettable and I don't think anyone is happy about it, but I think it's great."
HELLER SAID he completed the final examinations for his other fall
semester law class, Constitutional Law, Feb. 3 or Feb. 4. But with his considerable commitments to the School of Law, the University, and his current classes, Heller said, he was using every spare minute to work on the final exams for the Methods and Institutions class.
Students were entitled to ask him why he did not resign from some of his commitments. Heller said. But he said that the student had negotiation to do what was asked of him.
By teaching classes in the School of Law and the department of political science, Heller said he had three classes to teach while most professors in the School of Law had only two classes.
HELLER SAID that last weekend he graded tests for his Political Science 110 class because he thought the students would benefit more if they could see their graded tests while the teacher was studying. He said that, essentially, the damage had already been done to his Methods and Institutions class.
