Strategic-arms negotiators exchange challenges early
GENEVA, Switzerland — Chief U.S. strategic arms negotiator Edward Rowny yesterday challenged Moscow to agree to drastic cuts in long-range ballistic missiles to reduce the risks of nuclear war
Rowny called for a slashing of missile and nuclear warhead arsenals at the new round of Strategic Arms Reduction Talks that are to begin Wednesday
Wednesday.
Soviet chief negotiator Viktor Karpov, however, accused Washington of blocking agreement by making proposals designed to obtain unilateral military advantages.
Karpov said an accord "depends on a constructive American response" to Soviet proposals.
Rowny and Karpov made their statements after arriving in Geneva for the talks.
Meanwhile, President Reagan unexpectedly offered yesterday to meet Soviet Communist Party chief Yuri Andropov "anytime, anywhere" to sign an agreement banning all U.S. and Soviet land-based medium-range missiles.
The offer was read in West Berlin by Vice President George Bush at the end of a speech to a dinner audience.
City continues study of inspectors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mayor Richard Berkley yesterday recommended that Public Works Director Myron Calkins and Bill Turner, superintendent of inspections, be suspended pending a full investigation of the Public Works Department.
The investigation follows the suspension of 18 city building inspectors who allegedly falsified work reports.
On Sunday City Manager Robert Kipp ordered the immediate suspension, without pay, of the inspectors named in a copyright article published in the Kansas City Star. Kipp also directed that Jack White, codes administrator, be removed from his position immediately.
Jackson County Prosecutor Albert Riederer said his office was looking into prosecution.
Riederer said that if the newspaper accounts were reasonably accurate then a decision whether to prosecute could be made quickly.
Reagan to proclaim 'Year of Bible'
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, invoking religion where fiscal policy has failed, said yesterday that the budget could be balanced sooner if Americans "simply tried to live up to the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule."
On the same day he sent Congress his fiscal 1984 budget, Reagan appeared before the National Religious Broadcasters to reaffirm his support for conservative positions on such social issues as abortion and school prayer.
Reagan drew the audience to its feet after announcing he would proclaim 1983 the "Year of the Bible" and promising to push for a constitutional amendment allowing voluntary prayer in public schools
The supportive broadcasters, whose convention Reagan also attended last year, gave him one of the warmest receptions of any group he has addressed in recent weeks.
55 killed in fighting in El Salvador
MERCEDES UMANA, El Salvador — A battle yesterday between army troops and rebels caused 55 civilian casualties and forced 3,000 people to flee the second biggest city of an agriculturally rich province, officials said.
U. S. made warjets and helicopters for the second straight day pounded Berlin, 50 miles east of San Salvador, and military officers said an out-of-control fire ravaged four square blocks in the center of the city
The only route into the embattled city of 15,000 was closed by military roadblocks at the cutoff in Mercedes Umaha.
Red Cross officials, who said a few ambulances had managed to enter Berlin, estimated more than 60 civilians had been killed or wounded since the fighting erupted Sunday between 500 guerrillas and the city's depleted national guard garrison of just 70 defenders.
Israeli president won't seek office
TEL AVIV, Israel — President Yitzhak Navon said yesterday that he would not challenge Prime Minister Menachem Begin in new elections after retiring in May.
"I do not plan and I do not intend to enter into political life," Navon said. Navon's office is non-political and largely ceremonial.
In declaring his decision not to seek a second five-year term, Navon, 61, said he wanted to spend his time writing books and pursuing social and educational interests.
The announcement ended reports that Navon would challenge Begin if new elections were called this year, capitalizing on the respect and popularity he has amassed during his presidency.
"I did not take this decision lightly or in haste," he said. "I know many citizens will be sorry about my step. I'm sorry I am causing them disappointment, but I can only act according to my own logic and feeling."
Brvant's barbecue to reopen soon
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Arthur Bryant's famous barbecue restaurant should be open for business in the next two or three weeks, the manager of another Kansas City restaurant and his business associate said yesterday.
Bill Ruschelbach, manager of the Golden Ox Restaurant, said he and Preston Krem, a San Diego, Calif., investor with a controlling interest in the company that owns the Golden Ox, signed an agreement with Doretha Bryant to lease her uncle's "House of Good Eats."
Dorothy Bryant to take over Miss Bryant, the niece of the late "barbecue king," is heiress to the eatery and the spicy sauce recipe that made it popular to common folk and celebrities.
The new operators of the restaurant said they did not plan to make any major changes in the restaurant.

A fire that started late night and burned until 1:30 this morning destroyed a two-story house about four miles east of Lawrence, but its two occupants were not injured, firefighters at the scene said.
Firefighters hampered by wind, snow Blaze destroys house near city; no one injured
The occupants of the house, John Pendleton and his wife, Karen, were asleep upstairs when the fire broke out. John Pendleton said. Douglas County sheriff's department officers were
"I don't know what woke us up," said John Pendleton, who was wearing a borrowed coat. "We noticed the smoke and got out."
Pendleton said the fire probably started on the roof when cinders from their woodburning stove ignited it.
Roger Broers, a firefighter with the Eudora Fire Department, said that the second floor of the house was probably a total loss.

They were the first to arrive.
six neighbors watched the fire burn early this morning. Some helped move fire hoses.
"If we could pick the kind of weather," Broers said, "we certainly wouldn't pick this."
The Eudora and Wakarusa fire departments responded to the call.
Gusting winds and heavy snow hampered the firefighters.
Firefighters at the scene reported the fire was out by about 1:30 this morning and fire trucks were returning to the scene, where the sheriff's department dispatcher said.
Jim Baldwin, a Douglas County county's department officer, said that the investigation was not clear.
"They were on their way down the stairs when we arrived," she said. "We went inside."
About 1: 00 this morning the roof of the house was engulfed in flames, which were spreading to an adjoining wood structure attached to the rear of
11:30 p.m. and midnight the Pendletons were already out of bed.
Pendleton said he rented the house, a two-story red brick structure that had been dismantled.
Burning debris from the roof surrounded the house after the fire had been extinguished.
Traffic deaths down in wake of DWI law
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
KEN SMITH, assistant Shawnee County district attorney, said courts had no way of knowing whether a convicted drunken driver performed
Staff Reporter
The new drunken driving law and tougher police enforcement contributed to a 14.5 percent decrease in traffic fatalities in Kansas last year, the superintendant of the Kansas Highway Patrol told Genate Judiciary unit yesterday.
Under the present law, passed by the 1982 Legislature, first time offenders face a minimum $200 fee and 48 hours in jail. Instead of incarceration, judges can impose a minimum of 100 hours of community service work.
Col David L. Hornbaker, the superintendent, also said that drunken driving arrests had increased by 20 percent.
Gov. John Carlin asked the Legislature to strengthen drinking drunk driving laws.
the court-ordered community service work.
Because the law prohibits plea bargaining, lawyers have to file a lawsuit.
Under ple bargaining, a violator agrees to plead guilty to a lesser crime than driving under the influence. Under file bargaining, the violator is instead charged with a lesser crime, so the violation is done before the charges are filed.
"Prosecutors still are fearful for reckless driving, and I don't think that's what the Legislature intended," said Greg Cowan, who drives carries a minimum fine of $25.
Forty-nine representatives sponsored the bill that would reduce the daily compensation paid to legislators from $45 to $43.
IN OTHER legislative business, a bill that would reduce the daily compensation paid to legislators has run into obstacles in the House Ways and Means Committee, some members of the committee said.
"It's popular to cut legislators' pay."
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence,
laborator at Kansan legislators are not overweight.
Wealthy members of the Legislature can afford to serve at low pay, he said. But cutting legislators' pay could decrease classes of people from the Legislature.
State Rep. Jack Shriver, D-Akansas City, said he thought the bill was politically inspired and difficult to oppose, and would probably pass.
If legislators are paid too much, people run for office just for the salary, he said. But if they are paid too little, same will not be able to afford to do the
"I like the cross section of people in the Legislature," he said. "But half the people who know who chose not to run in the election, said they couldn't afford to serve."
Solbach and Shriver agreed that the bill could set a bad precedent.
The Legislature costs the state $37,560 every day it is in session, he said. The Legislature could save the state more money than the pay cut
would save by cutting one or two days off the session.
SOLBACH SAID, "We have a responsibility to keep the compensation at a level that allows people to leave their regular jobs to be legislators."
Solbach was appointed to a subcommittee yesterday to clarify a resolution that would establish a site for a Vietnam veterans' memorial.
The resolution requests the Kansas State Historical Society to set up a fund for contributions to the memorial and for the memorial near its new museum.
The resolution originally called for the memorial to be inscribed with the names of Kansans who died in the Vietnam War, Solbach said. But the subcommittee changed the wording to include Kansans who, according to the adjutant general of Kansas, died as a result of participation in the Vietnam War.
If the changes are approved by the committee, the resolution may be recommended for adoption this week.
