Reagan policy would help Indians govern themselves
WASHINGTON — President Reagan yesterday outlined a comprehensive policy to encourage self-government among Indian tribes and create a "favorable environment" to make reservations more economically self-sufficient.
The announcement came less than a week after Interior Secretary James Watt angered Indian leaders by calling federal reservations "an insult to our country."
Reagan said, "Instead of fostering and encouraging self-government, federal policies have by and large inhibited the political and economic development of the tribes."
Reagan proposed that the tribunes reduce their dependence on federal funds but be eligible for block grants for social services.
He also called for greater involvement of private industry in developing the economies of the Indian lands, and said both the nation and the Indian tribes "stand to gain from the prudent development and management of the vast coal, oil, gas, uranium and other resources found on Indian lands."
Emergency OPEC meeting collapses
GENEVA, Switzerland — An emergency meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to set production and pricing policies collapsed without agreement yesterday.
Conference officials said ministers from the 13 OPEC countries were unable to reach agreement on the issues of pricing, production quotas and price differentials.
The unexpected stalemate has set the stage for a price war and has given the U.S. stock market its worst loss in three months.
Oil stocks were major losers as the Dow Jones industrial average, down 30 points at midsession after plunging 17.84 Friday, skidded 22.81 yesterday to 1,030.17. It was the Dow's worst setback since it lost 36.33 points Oct. 25.
The Dow reached a record of 1,092.35 on Jan. 10.
Workers sav firm put waste in barn
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Two former chemical company workers testified yesterday that the firm that sprayed dioxin-contaminated oil at Times Beach, Mo., and other Missouri sites once deposited hazardous waste at a barn rather than a dump.
The second witness, William Ray, a former worker of NEPPACO Co. of Verona, Mo., also testified he had told workers at Jerry Russell Bliss Inc. about the extreme toxicity of the waste but his warnings were ignored.
The head of the disposal company, Russell Bliss, is appealing a decision by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to deny his request.
Bliss has admitted spraying waste oil in Times Beach as a dust control measure in the early 1970s. He said he did not the oil was contaminated with dioxin, one of the deadliest chemicals made by man.
Unemployed lose health insurance
WASHINGTON — Nearly 11 million Americans have no health insurance because the family breadwinner is out of work, the Congressional Budget Office reported yesterday.
Of the nation's 12 million unemployed in December, 7.4 million workers had been laid off, and 5.3 million of those have no health insurance, budget office director Alice Rivlin told a House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee hearing.
Health benefits usually continue for up to three months after a job loss. But Rivlin said almost 70 percent of those who lost their jobs had been out of work five weeks or more, and most had exhausted extended health benefits.
Witnesses called for federal help, but Rivlin said any program that provided coverage for those who were currently unemployed would be costly.
Japan to side with U.S., leader says
TOKYO — Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone pledged yesterday to side with the United States against the Soviet Union, despite the risk of provoking Moscow.
"We will stick to the security system with the United States and try to accomplish the qualitative improvements of defense potential necessary to ensure Japan's self-defense," Nakasone said.
He described the U.S.-Japanese alliance as "indispensable for peace in Asia and the world."
Saying his trip to Washington last week for talks with President Reagan "deepened mutual trust," Nakaso warned that Japan must pay keen attention to pressure for concessions from its recession-striken trading partners in the United States and Europe.
"I keenly feel that Japan now stands at a crossroads;" Nakasone said.
Aldo Moro killers get life sentences
ROME — Thirty-two Red Brigades terrorists were sentenced to life in prison yesterday for the kidnapping and murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro and a three-year wave of terror attacks that left 18 others dead.
Other defendants among the 63 on trial for the past nine months were given sentences ranging from six months to 30 years imprisonment.
They included Antonio Savasta, 28, already serving a 16-year prison sentence for the Ired Brigades kidnapping of U.S. Army Gen. James
Moro, 61, was kidnapped by the Red Brigades March 16, 1978 during a morning rush-hour attack in which his five police bodyguards were
His bullet-riddled body was found dumped in the trunk of a car on a Rome street 54 days later.
Hundreds answer bogus ad for jobs
MILWAUKEE — Hundreds of people showed up at an engineering company yesterday to answer a bogus classified ad for 10 jobs.
"It is a cruel hoax," said Frank Schoenauer, 50, president of Bevco Engineering Inc.
The bogus ad in the Sunday Milwaukee Journal said, "Assemblers required for electrical control panels. We will train 10 new employees required for expanding business. Top wages, 5 day work week plus liberal fringe benefits. Apply in person Mon-Fri. No phone calls please. See Mr. Schoenauer, Bevco Engineering Inc., 10005 Glenbrook Ct., Milwaukee."

He said there were no jobs available.
Journal executives said they would seek prosecution of whoever placed the ad. A state law prohibits communicating to a newspaper any false and unauthorized advertisement.
Low ticket sales hurt athletic budget TV money may cover deficit
By ANDREW HARTLEY
Staff Reporter
Lackluster ticket sales from the last football season caused gate receipts to fall more than $90,000 short of expectations, but the KU athletic department officials expect to break even this year, a spokesman said yesterday.
Susan Wachter, business manager and assistant athletic director, said the deficit could be covered by unexpected television games in the Big Eight.
Football gate receipts, the money taken in from all ticket sales, account fees, and other expenses.
IN A MONTH statement of football income released Dec. 31, total anticipated income from the football pro-patriots team is $1,714,000, leaving a deficit of $91,125.
But the unexpectedly large share that KU receives from the Big Eight, which includes revenue from all television appearances, post-season football bowl games and post-season basketball the shortfall, would could cover the shortfall, Wachter said.
And late payments from the game at the University of Kentucky at Lexington, where ticket sales were higher than expected, and a deficit by about $2,500. Wachter said.
She said the reason for the shortfall in
gate receipts was poor sales of single-game tickets. Both student and adult season ticket sales were comparable to last year.
THE BIG EIGHT will dole out $4 million in television money to its member schools this year, said Bill Hancock, service bureau director for the Big Eight. Each time a Big Eight school appears in a televised game, that team receives 20 percent of the money.
The other teams in the conference also benefit, receiving 10 percent of the team's money.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson said he would have preferred that the unbudgeted money would have put the athletic program more into the black
JOHNSON SAID he thought the poor showing by the football team last season affected ticket sales and, ultimately, the gate receipts.
"There's no doubt that the greatest promotion in the world is winning,"
Hancock said Big Eight football teams appeared on television 10 times this year, the largest number of entrances in any Big Eight football season.
HANCOCK SAID the reason for the surge in televised college football games was that new contracts had been signed with CBS and Super Station WTBS, a subsidiary of the Turner Broadcasting System. He said that in the past, only ABC had signed large college TV contracts.
KU appeared in two regional telecasts — Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, and the University of Tulsa at home — and appeared in a national
telecast while playing at Kansas State University.
The National Football Strike, however, did not cause the increase in television contracts. All college football contracts were negotiated and signed before the beginning of the year, he said.
Wachter said that only the home game with Nebraska made more money than expected. All the other games made less money than expected.
But donations to the Williams Fund, a branch of the athletic department that seeks scholarship money, may not be affected by the poor football record, Bob Frederick, director of the fund, said.
Frederick said no correlation existed between success on the field and the amount of money contributed to the Fund.
The Williams Fund provides more than 33 percent of the total revenue for the athletic program and provides what it calls the solid base for the program.
Seven more file for commission
Seven more candidates filed yesterday for one of three open seats on the Lawrence City Commission, and he will be a primary election March 1.
The seven join Mike Amyx, Ernest Angino, David Longhurst and Milton Collins, who have already filed, in the City Commission race.
The primary election will narrow to six candidates those running in the general election April 5.

Barbara Maxwell is director of guidance at South Junior High School and has lived in Lawrence since 1948.
Yoder, a local attorney, has lived in Lawrence since 1975 and graduated from the KU School of Law in 1978.
COLLINS OWNS Henry's Restaurant and has lived in Lawrence since 1961.
Francisco, Binns and Gleason's terms on the City Commission expire this spring.
Accuracy speeds aid money
Accuracy in filling out the American College Testing forms will insure that students' applications are processed quickly, Jerry Rogers, director of the KU office of financial aid, said yesterday.
Students often are frustrated when they submit an application only to have it returned because the parents' statement or tax statement are missing, Rogers said.
CONCEIVABLY, Rogers said, a student who submits his application by March 1 but forgets to include items or reports that might directly miss him are awarded光
Corrections must be completed before any awards can be made, he said. The board will review the award for completion.
and forth between the student and the ACT offices until the corrections are completed.
Forgetting parents' signatures and failing to include copies of parents' income tax forms are two of the most common errors made, he said.
MISTAKES CAN be avoided, Rogers said, if students carefully follow directions and read the Handbook for Financial Aid Applicants, which is given to all students that submit ACT forms.
Rogers said that the forms, which are available in 26 Strong Hall, should be turned in to the financial aid office by March 1st. The first group of forms, totaling about 5,000, will be sent to ACT offices in Iowa City, Iowa by March 12.
