during the Vietnam War. The commission agreed to place the American flag and statue of three infantrymen at the entrance to the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial, about 300 feet away, rather than at a closer location.
A group of veterans had urged the commission to put the flag and statue close to the memorial, but architect Kent Cooper and others in the arts had complained the additions would detract from the memorial's esthetics.

Perez de Cuellar rejects U.S. plan
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar yesterday rejected American efforts to link the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola with Nambian independence, saying the plan was unacceptable interference in the affairs of South Africa and the United Nations.
The U.S. plan calls for the withdrawal of Cuban troops in Angola, which borders Namibia, as a condition for Namibian independence. Officials estimate there are between 20,000 and 25,000 Cuban troops in Angola.
Perez de Cuellar said the U.N. plan for independence in South-West Africa — also known as Nambia — "is the real and only solution."
The U.N. resolution declares South Africa's mandate over Namibia null and void and recognizes the South-West African People's Organization as Namibia's sole representative.

Kansas may not use EPA cleanup funds
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
Kansas has not appropriated the funds needed to participate in a federal cleanup of the state's terror hazardous waste problem sites, an official of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said yesterday.
James Aiken, director of the division of environment of the KDHI, said that instead of raising state funds to clean up the sites, the individuals or companies responsible for the problems should have to clean them up
Morris Kay, regional director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, identified the four Kansas sites in his presentation before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. They are the Milliken Refinery in Arkansas City, the Doepe Disposal Service Site in Johnson County, Johns Sludge Pond in Wichita and Tar Creek in southern Cherokee County.
THE FOUR SITES are on a priority list of 418 hazardous waste problem sites in the nation chosen by the EPA as candidates for the federal government's Superfund program.
Federal law established the Superfund in December 1980. The EPA administers the fund, which is used to solve pollution problems not addressed by other environmental laws or programs. Federal revenue from such projects billion fund; the remaining 66 percent from taxes paid by the chemical industry.
Federal laws, such as the Clean Water and Clean Air acts, authorize the federal government to use legal action to compel individuals and companies to clean up pollution problems for which they are responsible. They are used when the federal government is unable to assign responsibility or when the cost of the cleanup is excessive.
Before the Superfund is tapped, the state where the problem exists must agree to pay 10 percent of the costs of the cleanup if the property is privately owned or 50 percent if it is publicly owned. The state must also agree to

THE MILLIKEN REFINERY burned in the 1920s, Aiken left, leaving an asphalt residue on about five acres. The KDHE completed an investigation of the site in September 1982 and found trace amounts of pollutants in nearby groundwater.
Deeke Disposal Services Inc operated a disposal site in Johnson County for industrial wastes until 1989 when the site was closed according to a plan approved by the KDHE. Aiken said drainage samples from the area indicated there were low levels of heavy metals, such as copper, lead, zinc and nickel at the site. The EPA is now investigating the site.
Johns. Sludge Pond in Wichita was used for the disposal of oil waste by an oil recycling refinery during the 1960s and 1990s. Aiken said, *An EPA*
investigation in June 1982 revealed that the groundwater near the pond was contaminated with lead and poly chlorinated biphenols, or PCBs. Wichita acquired the property several years ago and has submitted a plan for a cleanup, estimated to be completed in the spring of 1984.
ABANDONED LEAD and zinc mines in the Tar Creek area of Kansas and Oklahoma have filled up with water, and that contaminated water has risen to the ground surface in Oklahoma, Aiken said. The discharge caused a complete fish kill in Tar Creek when it began.
KDHE officials are concerned that Tar Creek might contaminate the largest source of drinking water in southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma, but water samples from the river did not produce evidence of contamination so far.
