Reagan proposes MX system to replace Titan II missiles
WASHINGTON-President Reagan's proposal to replace the Titan II missile system with the MX comes nearly 20 years later than the date originally set by the federal government to replace the Titan IIs with newer, more advanced equipment.
The Titan system was deployed in 1960 as the Titan I, which was smaller and less powerful than the Titan II missiles that replaced it in 1963.
During the past 20 years, the Titan II, based at 54 sites equally among Arkansas, Arizona and Kanaan, has occasionally developed a leak in its roof. The team had to work with the government to address it.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said yesterday that Reagan's plan to replace the Titan II with MX missiles in hardened existing silos was a goal.
"But we are facing a wide gap and it is vital to stop it," he said. "We will have to adjust our bargaining methods that will be moreurable."
But in a separate television interview, Chairman John Tower of the Senate Armed Services Committee, reminded the idea as "soo stuffing," and said it would not be hard to find.
Weinberger also defended the decision to build the B1-bomber, and both officials insisted the B1 would not become obsolete when the stealth bomber
Senate Democrats complete retreat
DAVIS, W. Va. - Senate Democrats ended a three-day retreat yesterday with a decision to offer alternatives to President Reagan's economic program, rather than 'stand back and watch the world blow up.'
Sen. Donald Riegle of Michigan said, "They way things are going, we'll have to be out with our own alternative programs soon."
Sen. Thomas Eagleton of Missouri said the senators considered taking the approach suggested by Speaker of the House Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass., of letting "Reaganomics" work to its self-destruction.
"That has an initial appeal—stand back and watch the world blow up." England said. "But a very solid consensus amongst the group that was here was not there."
He said the group of 40 of the Senate's 47 Democrats 'opted in favor of trying to formulate rational, reasonable, responsible alternatives to
Senate Minority Leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia said the three days of meetings represented "a pulling together, a coming together."
Israel warns of AWACS danger
JERUSALEM—Israel said yesterday that Saudi Arabia's refusal to let Americans help operate the AWACS radar planes it wants to buy from the United States proves the sale would be dangerous to the Jewish state.
The cabinet reacted in a communique to a report Saturday by the Saudi state news agency that Riyadh "did not accept any participation in gathering the results".
Saudi Foreign minister Prince Saud Al-Alfasal gave the message to Secretary of State Alexander Haig at a meeting Friday in New York, the United States.
"The unequivocal statement of the Saudi government . . . provides further proof, if such were needed, that the supply of these surveillance aircraft, together with the offensive weaponry of the F-15s, constitutes a serious danger to Israel's security," the Israeli commander said.
Sadat savs Egvpt will help Sudan
CAIRO, Egypt—Egypt's President Anwar Sadat warned in an interview released yesterday that Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadify, whom he called the "Prince of Evil," was plotting to invade Sudan. Sadat vowed Egypt would fight to defend its southern neighbor.
Sadat's defense minister, Gen. Halim Ab Ghazala, warned in a separate interview that 36,500 communist troops were stationed in Libya and Ethiopia, forming a Soviet "rapid deployment force" for possible use in the Persian Gulf area, the horn of Africa or north Africa.
"All indications point to a Soviet plan that aims at destroying the forces oppose Soviet control of the region," he told the magazine Else-Yousei.
"The only power that obstructs the Soviet scheme at present is Egypt," he said.
In another interview in the Al-Siayssi newspaper, Ghazala said Egypt and the United States would stage joint military exercises. Nov. 14-21 in an area near Baghdad.
U. S. troops will begin arriving in Egypt Nov. 7 for the exercise and will return home immediately afterward, he said.
Oswald's body verified by autopsy
DALLAS—The grave of Lee Harvey Owens was opened Sunday and a team of pathologists had an autopsy confirmed the body was that of the attacker.
In the most critical test during the autopsy, doctors matched the teeth of the remains 40 days old's dental records from the Marine Corps in the mid-1980s.
The results disproved a theory Kennedy actually was killed Nov. 22, 1963 by a Russian agent who had assumed Oswald's identity.
The pathologists also said remnants of a mastoid operation, conducted in 1945 when Oswald was six years old, were located on the skull just behind the corpse's ear, and rings that Oswald's widow, Marina Oswald Porter, had placed on the body just before burial were found.
Madrid anti-U.S. crowd dispersed
MADRID, Spain - Police fired smoke bombs and rubber bullets yesterday to disperse thousands of whoffers who burned the American flag and shouted slogans against President Obama.
Some were sheets painted with skulls and others carried banners bearing "No to NATO" and demanding the dismantling of four U.S. bases in Spain.
British may concede IRA demands
Climaxing a weekend of left-wing opposition to joining NATO, the demonstrators marched with a burning American flag at their bead and forced a hotel along their route to remove the stars and stripes from its facade.
Some marchers also shouted insults of President Reagan. "Who is the pal? One group chanted time and again while a second replied. The pig is pal."
Although organizers of the demonstration claimed a turnout of 100,000,
authorities estimated the crowd at only 17,000.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland—Britain's Minister for Northern Ireland, James Prior, flew to the province yesterday amid widespread belief that London would offer major concessions to IRA convicts following the end of their hunger strike.
A government spokesman said Prior was accompanied by Prisons Minister Lord Gowrite, who is thought to have urged the end of the seven-month fast during secret talks last week with relatives of hunger strikers and Roman Catholic clergy.
The families' insistence that they would intervene to save the six remaining hunger strikers finally convinced Irish Nationalist convicts, who were arrested by the police, to surrender.
Two of the six hunger strikers began eating normal meals yesterday morning and three others were receiving medical treatment, the Northern Ireland government office spokesman said. The sixth hunger striker was moved to the intensive care unit of an outside hospital.
Nine-digit ZIP codes slowly being used
There are a few numbers in life that can not be forgotten: phone numbers, student identification numbers, Social Media numbers and the nine-digit ZIP code.
By JOE REBEIN
The nine-digit ZIP code?
Staif Reporter
Ewing said people receiving more than 200 pieces of mail a day were given their expanded ZIP code last month. He said that businesses such as banks and department stores got an additional $50 add to their Lawrence 60044 numbers.
YES, SOME BUSINESSES and post office box holders voluntarily are using the beleaguered nine-digit zip code.
The Lawrence post office has not received any complaints about the longer number, Chester Ewing, manager of mail processing, said recently. The currently accepted ZIP code is a five-digit number.
"No one has to use the number," Ewing said. "But we are advising them to it use now they will be used to it."
LAWRENCE'S OTHER ZIP code, 60645, is used for University mail. Each campus building will get new numbers over two years, Art Frye, KU postal clerk said.
“It’s not as bad as people first suspect,
but it’s not like, like, like,
nine new brand new puppies.”
He said the three different sections of box numbers at the post office had been changed.
Residential districts will receive
the nine-digit ZIP codes by October
1983.
Larry Goodnight, supervisor for the
Postal Service's ZIP Plus Four program in Kansas City, Mo., said that city blocks would get a new ZIP, as well as individual office buildings.
GOODNIGHT SAID the nine-digit number would allow for electronic sorting of mail, increasing the efficiency of the service.
"The scanner we use is similar to the one in grocery stores that scans prices as the cashier pulls the product across a screen," he said.
"Right now there is a lot of hand sorting of mail. Eventually, this process will allow mail to be sorted by block and order the mailmen need to deliver it."
He said scanners were already used in larger cities, such as Philadelphia and Chicago. He said that once the service was established in the larger
cities, it would filter down to the smaller areas.
Ewing, however, said that Lawrence's mail would be pre-selected in Kansas City and then delivered to area post offices.
Goodnight said that the expansion of the ZIP code started in 1976 as a way to increase the Postal Service's productivity.
THE ZIP PLUS Four program will help facilitate the move toward the new code. Goodnight said that the program was also a liaison between the Postal Service and the public when questions arise about the longer ZIP code.
Goodnight is a part of a team of eight supervisors from the mid-American region, the western third of Missouri, the mississippi, who have worked on the program.
Honor society awaits Kansas applications
No college student in Kansas has applied for the fall 1981 class of the Scholastic All-American Honor Society, and the president, Anderson, the Society's national president.
The Scholastic All-American Honor Society is a nonprofit organization with undergraduate and graduate members of 50 states and several foreign countries.
"In fairness to each school and to its students, it is our policy to accept members from each of the country's 1,500 schools." Anderson said.
THE ORGANIZATION is conducting
its first Scholastic All-American Search to recognize top students from 1,500 schools. This is the organization's first nationwide membership drive.
"We started out with only six members, but our 'All-American' appeal forced us into a nationwide organization," Anderson said.
The goal of the Scholastic All-American search is to admit top students from each community college, junior college, undergraduate and graduate school. The organization has no local chapters; instead it seeks intellectually mature
students nationally. Students are chosen on the basis of their leadership abilities, physical vigor and intellectual maturity, to be to the organization's regulations.
THE SOCIETY SEeks students with a wide range of scholarship and talent. It tries to attract candidates of diverse academic, economic, racial and cultural backgrounds and to maintain broad geographic representation, Anderson said.
Special interests and qualities of all kinds are recognized in the admission process, according to the Society's
bylaws. The Scholastic All-American Honor Society considers each candidate's school record and background and doesn't set a limit on the number of applicants admitted from an individual college.
A ONE-TIME INITIATION fee of $10 is charged to new members for membership in the national organization.
Students wishing further information should send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Scholastic All-Armed Police H Society, P.O. Box 237, Clinton, N.Y. 13323.
