British reject Falkland plan; Argentina supports sanctions
LONDON-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher rejected Argentina's latest proposals for a settlement of the Falkland Islands crisis yesterday and announced she was sending Britain's foreign secretary to Washington with a set of counterproposals.
Unconditional Argentine withdrawal from the islands remained Britain's main objective.
Thatcher said the proposals Argentina had made during talks with Secretary of State Alexander Haig had fallen short of British expectations. Unconditional Argentine withdrawal from the islands remained Britian's
In Washington, President Reagan called for Argentina and Britain to restrain from one and give Haiti more time to come up with a suitable solution.
According to Argentina, the proposals rejected by Thatcher were an attempt to adestipte the issue of sovereignty by temporarily turning it over to the European Union. This meant that the
But Argentine efforts to invoke a mutual defense treaty from the Organization of American States could derail Haigh's efforts. Over U.S. objections, OAS scheduled a foreign ministers meeting for Monday to consider collective security measures against Britain.
"The U.S. delegation is deeply disturbed by the implications of the proposed action," said U.S. Ambassador J. William Middendorf. However, Middendorf later said the U.S. delegation was surprised and pleased that Argentina had waited to convene the meeting until Monday.
Argentina had what? "This means that Argentina is very anxious to see the Haig mission succeed, as we all are," he said. "As long as they are talking, they ain't shooting."
Millionaire is held hostage, freed
EDMONTON. Alberta—Police freed millionaire sports magnate Peter Pocklington and shot the gunman who had held him for nearly 11 hours yesterday. Pocklington also was shot, but was reportedly not seriously injured.
A police spokesman said Pockington, 40, owner of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Drillers soccer team, was slightly injured when a police bullet that felled the taker-taken passed through the man's chest and struck Pockington in the left shoulder.
The gumman was reported in stable condition at the University of Alberta hospital, where Pocklinton also was taken.
The gunman had demanded a $1 million ransom and a safe getaway route, police said.
The ransom demand was announced almost seven hours after Pocklington, his housekeeper and live-in babysitter were seized. The other two were released after three hours.
Beagan wants tax hike, deficit cut
WASHINGTON—President Reagan tried yesterday to break the budget logjam, telling Congress that he would be a bipartisan consensus that possibly could allow for tax hike rules.
Many congressmen are now advocating a surtax on upper-income Americans, but conservative economists have argued against such an option, saying it would simply let the government spend more money and not really reduce the deficit.
While Reagan sent a signal supporting a bipartisan approach, negotiators for Congress and the administration were meeting in the White House in a last-ditch effort to fashion an acceptable fiscal blueprint. However, when meetings closed, no successful conclusions, had been reached.
In a conciliatory gesture earlier in the day, Reagan telephoned House Speaker Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass., to indicate a willingness to move the budget fight off dead center. Congressional leaders have said a Reagan-O'Neill meeting is the missing piece in solving the budget puzzle.

HOUSTON—NASA yesterday announced the names of the first black and the first woman chosen for a U.S. space mission.
Dr. Sally Ride, 30, a graduate of Stanford University, will fly the seventh shuttle mission set for April 1983.

Grain elevator explodes; 6 missing
COUNCIL BLIFFS, Iowa—a grain elevator exploded yesterday, touching off a line that hampered a search for as many as six people missing and
At least 18 people were injured in the blast that shattered windows in the vicinity. Among the injured were 10 members of a railroad gang working on the bridge.
None of the injuries were critical.
The fire continued to burn into the evening, and Calvin Peterson, fire inspector said authorities had searched all but the burning areas of the building.
Authorities said the five or six missing employees apparently were loading grain into a boxcar when the blast overturned the car. Two of the employees may have been on one side of the elevator, while two others may have been standing in or near the car, they said.
Reagan sympathizes with movement
WASHINGTON—President Reagan yesterday expressed sympathy with the Ground Zero movement, but repeated his rejection of a call for a nuclear weapons freeze, saying that only he had "all the facts" necessary to make the decision.
Reagan, speaking with reporters in the White House Rose Garden on the third day of nationwide anti-nuclear activities, also renewed his call for an informal June meeting with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev to discuss arms controls. Brezhnev instead has suggested a full-fledged fall summit.
"I have to be heart and soul in sympathy with the people who are talking about the horrors of nuclear war and the fact that we should do everything we can to stop it."
Water for Siani holdouts shut off
TEL AVIV, Israel - Israeli soldiers yesterday cut off the water supply to the Sinai settlement of Yamit to put pressure on a handful of religious fanatics who are pledged to commit suicide one by one before they see the town turned over to Egypt.
Yamit reportedly is to be razed after the eviction of 4,000 squatters who are opposing the return of the desert region to Egypt, but the tiny group of settlers remains in the city.
In Jerusalem, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Walter Stoessel said negotiations were going well as he shuttled between Egypt and Israel yesterday to resolve last-minute differences and ensure Israel's final withdrawal from the Sinai.
Correction
A letter to the editor by Sandra Ward was reprinted incorrectly in yesterday's Kansan. The letter should have read, "A man of quality is not intimidated by a woman of equality."
Two KU students find treasure hunt prize
Two KU students will collect $1,000 today for putting together more than 40 clues to locate the hidden treasure in a local radio station's treasure hunt.
Kent Westvoid, Prairie Village sophomore, Stacy Sharp, Overland Park sophomore found the treasure taped to a bush between Carruth-O'Leary Hall and Potter Lake yesterday afternoon.
She said they spent most of the day collecting the individual clues from Lawrence businesses and working with the treasure hunt map.
Westvold and Sharp will split the $1,000 treasure, which they started searching for Saturday, nearly one and a half weeks after the treasure hunt had started.
"When we first started, it was just something to kill Saturday with, 'Sharp
Treasure hunters worked with a map and used clues to draw lines, which, for Westvold, eventually crossed over the area where the treasure was found.
station but when he heard a clue about 2 a.m. Tuesday on the radio, the pieces started falling into place.
"The fun of it was when we were looking finer," he said, "kind of an antiquity." Westworth
Sharp said that at one point during the weekend, the clues had led them to the Kansas River, but they ran into a dead end.
Westvald told that after Saturday, they didn't work on the treasure hunt and they didn't have a plan.
Westvold said he couldn't sleep after that and around 4 a.m., threw his clothes on and headed for camus.
"I thought I knew where it was," Westwold said.
He didn't find it that morning, but decided that he was looking in the right manner.
Westold said he went to class and around 2:30 p.m., went with Sharp to the hill between Potter Lake and Carruth-O'Leary, where they searched for the treasure because of a clue that told the pair that the treasure was hidden by leaves.
Sharp and Westvoid found the treasure certificate in a 35mm film camnister hung with electrician's tape from a bush on the hill.
"I was about ready to throw it back into the woods." Westold said, "but it turned out to be the treasure. I couldn't believe it."
When they took the cannister to the radio station, the two-week-long annual treasure hunt ended.
"We're gonna have a big party, that's for sure," Sharp said.
