Reagan calls on Congress to find a budget compromise
WASHINGTON - President Reagan, turning the heat on Congress, urged budget negotiators yesterday to "get on with" their search for a compromise and said he was willing to look at new ways to raise revenues and cut the mounting deficit.
The sources also said negotiators had killed a proposal to reduce automatic Social Security increases and were working with a new set of numbers that produce a deficit up to $110 billion.
mOntario legislators for the White House and Congress arranged to meet again today, but congressional sources close to the talks asked the best that could be hoped for now was a general agreement, not a specific compromise budget plan.
Budget negotiations so far have gained little ground. The president's critics, pointing to the rising deficit that could reach $180 billion if nothing is done, argue that a tax increase, a military spending cut or both are needed to reduce the deficit.
reduce the deterr. Reagan said again he was willing to "go the extra mile" in the search for a compromise as long as it was true to his program of military build-up, tax relief and spending reductions.
The president's latest bow to economic and political realities came during a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an audience of several thousand that cheered and whistled its approval of nearly every point made by the president.
Cody's interim replacement chosen
CHICAGO—Monsignor John Richard Keating, a personal assistant to the late Cardinal John P. Cody, was chosen to administer the nation's largest Roman Catholic archdiocese until a permanent replacement for Cody is selected.
"The law of the church," Keating said, "dicates the administrator is to look after day-to-day matters and not make any changes." He said his power was limited.
Keating said there had been no indication when Pope John Paul II would name Cody's permanent successor.
The selection of Keating was confidential—all the members of the committee that voted him took an oath of confidentiality.
The 13-member board of consultants also announced that Cody would lie in state in Holy Name Cathedral today. A funeral mass will be offered Thursday.

U.S. resumes purchasing Iranian oil
WASHINGTON—The United States has bought Iranian oil for the first time since the hostage crisis, but the purchase should not be interpreted as "a signal of any kind" to Iran, U.S. officials said yesterday.
The purchase of Iranian light crude oil was arranged because of the good price—about $2 million for 1.5 million barrels—said spokesman for the U.S. energy agency.
It does not mean the United States plans to renew relations with the Avatollah Khomeini's government.
However, the United States will be willing to buy more Iranian crude in the future, according to Philip Kiel, Energy Department spokesman.
Mount Asama erupts near Tokyo
TOKYO—Mound Asama, a 7,685-foot volcano, shattered a nine-year silence yesterday with thunderous eruptions that spewed lead-gray volcanic ash 4,500 feet into the sky and blanketed most of the Japanese capital with grit.
Pope Paul Apostolic视察了农业合作社的农民了，种植农产品的农民 that the ash could cripple young tea plantation, said the ash was washed from the tender sucurs.

Sirhan denies making death threats
SOLEDAD, Cal.-A convict yesterday accused Sirhan Sirhan of threatening to kill Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., if he were freed from prison.
Sirhan, who assassinated Kennedy's older brother, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, learned of the accutation at his parole hearing and shot, for bad.
Sirhan, 38, was before a panel of three people that was weighing demands that the state cancel the September 1984 parole it had set for him.

Sunken oil rig was unsafe, feds say
BOSTON--The owners of the Ocean Ranger oil drilling rig were notified two years before it sank in a North Atlantic storm that it was not in total compliance with U.S. safety standards, federal investigators were told yesterday.
The giant rig was issued an inspection certificate despite some safety code violations when it was transferred to American Registry in 1979, but the owners were told they had to upgrade precautions before a new certificate was issued, a Coast Guard spokesman said.
The certificate expired seven weeks before the rig—the world's largest floating drilling platform—sank with all hands aboard.
U of I official convicted of theft
ROCKFORD, IL. — A juryney found a former University of Illinois official guilty of stealing more than $600,000 from the university's fund account.
The official, Robert Parker, showed no reaction as the jury was pooled by the court clerk.
Prosecutors had contended that Parker lavished much of the money on women he met at an X-rated club.
But Parker's lawyer argued that Parker, a former university vice president, was inauset and was used as a pawn by the women and their strip
Parker faces two to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each of 157 counts of felony theft. He admitted to writing checks from the university's account to numerous Chicago women and several strip clubs.
Legislature opens wrap-up session todav
TOPEKA—Kansas legislators, who in the past two weeks have been criticized for their inaction on certain key issues, return to the capitol today for what is scheduled as a two-day wrap-up session.
From Staff and Wire reports
The issue that has nearly monopolized the 1982 session, a severance tax on oil and natural gas production, remains unchanged since the first severance tax supporters, including State Sen. Jack Steinerer, D-Kansas City.
However, with more than a dozen major issues yet unresolved in the session's twilight hours, the House and Senate have taken no action at their desks past tomorrow's deadline.
Last week, Steineger asked his colleagues to accept a 3 percent tax on oil and gas, but he excluded natural gas liquids, hoping to win some additional
DURING THE Legislature's two-week break, Gov. John Carlin, a primary advocate of the severance tax, visited with three senators who were considered swing votes on the controversial issues, but who had voted against the tax earlier. All three told Carlin they remained opposed to the
votes. A severance tax measure that included gas liquids failed earlier this session in the Senate on a 21-19 vote.
Eldredge said that despite predictions that the session would last longer than the constitutional 90 days, she planned to finish all her business by Wednesday.
The House has passed two severance tax bills this session.
State Sen. Jane Eldridge, R-
Lawrence, said she assumed the
severance tax issue was dead this
week and that he had been unable to
gain any votes.
done in conference committees," she said.
She said the only major issues that remained undecided concerned classification and reappraisal of property.
"I think everything is really being
THERE IS a resolution pending now that would change the state constitution to allow different types of property to be assessed at different rates. Now, the constitution requires that most property be assessed at 30 percent of fair-market value, but counties generally stray from that principle.
Also high on the list of the Legislature's priorities is a redistricting of the state's five congressional districts.
Attorney General Robert Stephan said Sunday he would assist the Federal District Court of Kansas in redistricting. Bernard Berman of Lawrence filed a suit Friday in U.S. District Court to force the district change.
Carlin has so far vetoed two redistricting maps the Legislature passed.
A House-Senate conference committee still remains at an impasse on a public school finance bill establishing the cost of paying for public education.
THE SENATE has voted to remove all state-imposed budget controls on local school districts, while the House wants to continue budget limitations, but at a 7 to 14 percent increase for 1982-83.
If the Legislature fails to take action, school districts would face the same 5 to 15 percent increases they received under last year's bill.
The Senate approved a 7 percent salary increase, split between a 5.75 percent cost-of-living increase and a 1.25 average-merit increase.
A final decision on the salary increase for state employees, including classified employees at the University of Kansas, awaits action by the House.
Truck accidents cause area power shortages
By BECKY ROBERTS Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Two different truck accidents yesterday caused confusion in Lawrence when parts of the city were left without electrical power.
Lights went out about 11:30 a.m. for about 500 residents when a semi-trailer truck hit a Kansas Power and Light utility pole at East Eight Street.
"When the truck hit the pole, it moved it enough to cause the wires to snap. Bob St. John, division manager of Light Power and Light Co., said yesterday.
The truck was attempting to make a U-turn into the Penney's Ready-Mixed Concrete, 730 Delaware St., when it hit the pole, St. John said.
ABOUT 450 residents, in an area east of Massachusetts Street and North of 12th Street to the river, were out of power until 11:35 a.m. while KPRL workers replaced the utility pole and splice the wire, St. John said. About 50 other residents did not have electricity until early afternoon.
Later in the afternoon, another truck
will be lower shortage for a different
part of town.
A dump truck at the Santa Fe industrial area in northwest Lawrence struck a guide wire causing it to flip and fly through high voltage transmitter, St. John said.
"This affected about 5,000 people in two different areas," St. John said.
The accident left the east and west sides of Lawrence without electricity for about one and a half hours.
THE FIRST area was west of Massachusetts Street to Iowa Street and south of Sixth Street to 13th Street. The other area was west of Kasold Drive and south of Sixth Street to 13th Street.
The business, Quaker Oats, 727 N. Iowa St., was still working with KP&L workmen to restore the electricity at 4:30 p.m. There was a possibility that some of the equipment had been damaged. St. John said.
St. John said the electricity was restored to all businesses and residences at about 3:45 p.m. There were no problems that did not have the power restored.
A security guard at the plant said they had not had to interrupt business because the plant was closed for two weeks for maintenance work.
In the city, Lawrence police said that although the traffic lights on Sixth and Ninth streets were not working, there had not been any accidents.
Police said there was only some confusion at a few intersections.
There were no injuries when the power lines broke because of safety systems that are designed to turn the fire off if the lines break. St. John said.

has grown rapidly. Individuals most of them doctors, donated the equipment from personal collections.
After the property was donated to the museum through the Kansas University Endowment Association, Hudson said, tax credits were issued and private collectors had an incentive to donate.
Elections for President and Vice-President will be held Tuesday, April 27.
Space limitations on the second floor of the Clendening Library restrict the number and size of the displays. Hudson said.
"We really need more space," he said. "We have to turn down items because there is not room—that problem is being worked on."
This library, which is north of the present hospital buildings, will nearly double the available space in the library. It is Barley, director of the library, said.
THE MUSEUM'S space problems, as well as those of the Clendening Library, may be solved next December when the $5 million Archie Dykes Library is scheduled for completion.
