First Monday in October ushers in new U.S. justice
WASHINGTON — It was a historic day for the Supreme Court. Yesterday was the first Monday in October—the traditional start of a new court term—and Justice Sandra O'Connor took the traditional seat of the court's junior member, at the far left of Justice Warren Burger.
Long lines formed outside the court building on the fresh autumn day and spectators jammed the court chamber for a gimpee of O'Connor and the other justices as they released hundreds of orders and then settled down to hear four hours of arguments.
Arising on several hundred of the petitions that piled up during their summer recess, the justices agreed to resolve an environmental conflict over whether U.S. military training exercises must conform to air, water and noise pollution regulations involves Navy bombing and shelling in northeast island near Puerto Rico.
The justices said they would decide whether accused rapists had a right to bail. A Federal Appeals Court struck down a Nebraska law that allowed them to be sentenced to death without trial.
Cases that the justice refused to hear included the controversy stemming from the death of Karen Silkwood, a lab worker and union activist at a Kerr-McGee Nuclear Facility in Oklahoma; an appeal by convicted Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt, who accused his former lawyer of legal malpractice; and the issue of whether adopted people can see their birth and adoption records.
House favors voting rights clause
WASHINGTON—The House overwhelmingly passed a bill to extend an enforcement provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act last night after a bipartisan coalition toppled conservatives' efforts to soften the measures.
The 389-24 vote came after Speaker Thomas O'Neill urged a commitment of "doing what is right for our country."
Unless Congress acts, the provision will expire next year.
The provision now covers Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arizona and Texas, almost half of North Carolina and parts of 12 other states.
As drafted by a bipartisan coalition in committee, the bill would extend the controversial section indefinitely, instead of simply several more years as it had been.
The administration has yet to make its position on the bill official, although President Reagan last week at his news conference he was asked to answer a question about the bill.
An identical bill has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. Charles Mathas, R-Md., and is scheduled for subcommittee hearings in early January.
Atlanta candidates make final push
ATLANTA—Major candidates for mayor of the South's largest city took to 'the streets yesterday in an election-eve flurry of campaigning aimed at the black vote.
Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, the acknowledged front-runner, was on downtown street corners early, greeting people on their way to work. His staff set up a flatbed truck with a band for more street-corner campaigning later in the day.
Fulton County Commissioner A. Reginald Eaves, a black former police commissioner who has concentrated on eroding Young's southside support, campaigned at downtown transit stations and predominantly black Morehouse College.
Republican Warren Shulman was counting on picking up much of the GOP and conservative Democratic vote that elected Sen. Mack Mattingly, R-Ga., last year. He worked the retirement high-rises on the city's mostly white north side.
Also on the ballot are State Rep. Milred Glover, 45, a soft-spoken black legislator and government instructor at Atlanta University; John L. Thompson, 43, who finished third in a bid to be city council president in 1979; and Socialist Workers Party candidate Andree Kahlmorgan, 29.
FAA needs 400 more controllers
WASHINGTON—The Federal Aviation Administration said yesterday it was requesting another 400 military air traffic controllers to help replace the system.
Disclosure of the request for the additional military controllers came as a Dayton, Ohio, newspaper reported an Air Force study that concluded that the shifting of too many Air Force controllers to civilian chores would restrict Air Force operations.
Neither the FAA nor the Pentagon had any immediate breakdown on how many additional controllers would be coming from the military. The FAA is now using about 800 military controllers, 429 of them from the Air Force, about 150 from the Navy and about 200 from the Army.
CLEVELAND - Aggry parents stopped about half of the Cleveland school system's 640 buses from leaving their yards yesterday, stranding up to 15,000
about 27,000 of Cleveland's 81,000 students are transported on regular school buses, but 8,000 use Cleveland's Regional Transit Authority buses and trains as a cost-cutting measure.
The Rev. Jesse Rogers, a spokesman for two parents groups staging the protest, said he was not opposed to busing itself, only to using the RTA.
The RTA is unsafe. said Rogers. "Cleveland parents accepted bcing and bringing their children to the Department of Administrator) Donald Walidk decided to put some on them on the RTA."
Busing was ordered by U.S. District Judge Frank Battisti in 1978 and was implemented beginning in the 1978-79 school year. With the exception of minor scheduling fond-ups, degehageation has proceeded smoothly, with only a few marked similar efforts in Boston and Memphis, Tenn., several years ago.
ANKARA. Turkey—Hard-line Islamic cleric Hojaioteleslam Sayed All Kamanel was officially declared the winner of Iran's presidential election.
Clergyman wins Iranian presidency
Khamenei, 42, leader of the ruling Islamic Republican Party, became the first clergyman to lead Khomini's government and the third president of the Iranian revolutionary government in 31 months by capturing 95 percent of the 18.8 million votes cast during Friday's nolling Tehran Radio said.
Education minister Sayed Alik Abair Parvarchw was second with 341,841; Education minister Hassan Glaufari was third with 78,686; and member of parliament Al Akbar Parvarchw was fourth.
The Interior Ministry said Khamenei obtained 16,007,972 out of 16,846,996 votes, or 95 percent of the ballots, far more than his three opponents.
Another, 356, 369 ballots were canceled, an interior ministry spokesman said, because some people did not know that Prime Minister Mohammed
Polish, Soviet officials deliberate
MOSCOW—Polis驻deforeign minister Jozef Wejacz met with his Soviet counterpart, Lievid Ilyichy, in Moscow yesterday as the independent Solidarity Labor Congress in Gdansk protested against government-ordered price hikes.
The official Soviet news agency Tass said the ministers "discussed some of the issues of mutual interest," but it gave no details.
Earlier Tass quoted the Polish weekly magazine Rzeczposlątna as saying earlier in Poland was inevitable in order to combat the threat posed by Soldiers.
The Polish ambassador to Moscow, Kazimierz Olszowski, also attended the consultations, Tass said.
Med Center planning program for elderly
By JoLYNNE WALZ
Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Medical Center has received a $243,800 federal grant for a long-term health-care program for the state's elderly, a spokesman for Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan, announced yesterday.
"It is the congressman's feeling that this is a time of budget cutting, but that does not preclude legitimate programs like the Affordable Care Act," Shetto, an assistant to the congressman.
He said that, although most people thought of nursing homes when they thought of long-term care of the elderly, only a few people did not need nursing homes.
RUSS MILLS, the Med center gerontologist who will direct the new program, said that it will be designed to people about the true needs of the elderly.
"The emphasis of the program is to
keep as many people as possible out of
the program."
"Their needs for health can be met by community home-health care," he said.
EXAMPLES OF EFFECTIVE CONSULTATIONS included homemaker services, Meals on Wheels and special transportation services for the elderly.
Mills also said that it was not until people reached the age of 75 that they started having serious health problems related to old age.
In addition, he said that 2.3 million people in the United States were age 75 and older in 1978. They comprised 9.4 million of the 24.7 million aged 65 and older.
However, health care officials have predicted that in the year 2000, about
14. 4 million people in the United States will be aged 75 and older. They will be about 12.5 percent of the nearly 32.68 billion people who will be aged 68 and older.
THERE WILL BE more elderly people in the future, and a greater need for long-term care of the elderly. Mills said, because the baby-boom babies of the post-World War II years will be older.
Unfortunately, he said, Kansas cannot wait until the year 2000 to develop its services for the elderly. Already 12.7 percent of elderly Kansans 75 and older, which is above the predicted national average for the year 2000.
The grant the Med Center received on behalf of the federal Administration on Aging.
health care professionals about the health needs of the elderly, Mills said.
MILLS SAID THAT many health care professionals believed that caring for the aged was a hopeless task because it required them to help them or keep them from dying.
"In the medical profession, interest in gerontology is small, but it's growing," he said. "We want to change attitudes."
"There's a lot more understanding about the aging process now," Milla said.
"People in their 60s used to be considered old, but I'm in my 60s," he said. "My wife and I went to Wisconsin, to her 45th high school reunion. Everybody there was in their 60s, and they didn't look old to me. They were drinking beer, dancing the polka and having a great old time."
On the record
Burglars have temporarily silenced a new local band, Sylvan Grove, by stealing more than $3,000 worth of stereo and band equipment from the weekend of the band members over the weekend. Lawrence police said yesterday.
After removing the molding from around a window on the back door of the house in the 1800 block of West 24th Street, the burglaries took off with an armed man who was carrying a channel mixing board, cassette decks and two microphones, police said.
One of the band members, Scott Mize,
Overland Park freshman, said he
discovered the break-in after he
returned from Kansas City Sunday night.
He said the other two band members he lived in whom they were also out of town to attend him.
"They must have known what they were doing, because they pulled the breaker switch on the central fuse box and the alarm from going off," Mize said.
Mize said the alarm was installed because the band kept its equipment at
"I think it was someone who knew that we had the equipment here," Mize said. "They were very selective and took only the expensive stuff.

Sylvan Grove organized a year ago, Mize said, and played in Overland Park before it came to Lawrence. None of the stolen equipment was insured, he said.
"It was probably a friend of a friend that had been over here at one time or another and had seen our stuff."
"It's really depressing that people do this," Mize said.
