Sweden reveals it tested new sub-hunting torpedo
KARLSKRONA, Sweden—Swedish naval investigators inspected a captured Soviet submarine and told yesterday that the navy had secreted a report of an attack.
The naval inspectors sent a report to the government apparently clearing the way for the return of the vessel and its 56-man crew to the Soviet Union, and it was not clear how the new disclosure about the torpedo would affect the diplomatic move to return the sub.
Sweden's defense ministry did not say whether the secret torpedo detected the Soviet submarine, which became trapped on rocks last week 10 miles north of Sweden.
The test was made some 11.5 miles west of the island where the craft went aground.
"The navy was testing a new torpedo for hunting submarines," Roger Johansson, defense staff spokesman, said.
Cmdr. Sven Karlson, who questioned the commander of the grounded craft, said that they hadathered a lot of information.
"We have learned something. We have a lot of material," he said.
Fired guard wants Bennett's help
TOPEKA-James Blaier Jr., one of two Kansas State Pentagon guards fired Tuesday, said yesterday he would fight the action because he
He plans to ask former Gov. Robert Bennett to represent him, he said,
although he has not vet contacted Bennett.
"I want to get him because I him he's running for governor, and I think he could help me out a lot more," Blalock said.
Bennett said yesterday that he had not been asked to represent Blalock and that it would be unethical to comment about the case before he talked with Blalock. Bennett has also not said whether he would run for governor in 1982.
Haig denies reports of squabbles
Blalock will meet with the acting penitentiary director Ken Oliver today, he said, and will discuss the action taken Tuesday. Prison officials proposed a termination for Blalock and Steve Becker after the two guards refused to comply and preserve the inmate activity area because they were not equipped with radios.
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Alexander Haig yesterday warned that reports of tension and turf battles between him and other members of President Reagan's National Security team could prove harmful to U.S. foreign policy.
Haig sought to reassure the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the administration, contrary to the impression left by some recent news accounts, was not torn by jurisdictional infighting in its conduct of foreign affairs.
"Those reports can be harmful to the conduct of our foreign policy," he said.
Haig's aide's confirmed at a press briefing Tuesday that Haig thought that an undisclosed White House aide was planning a "guerrilla campaign" to
But Haig told the Senate panel, "What is really important is our approach to the critical foreign policy issues we face today. In that regard, the State Department should not take precedence over them."
White House spokesman Larry Spears denied reports that national security adviser Richard Allen was on his way out.
It had been suggested that Alien could be the one responsible for generating the reports of tension.
Ambassador guarded in Austria
VIENNA, Austria—Theodore Cumnings, the new U.S. ambassador to Austria, was under around-the-clock marine guard yesterday as part of stepped up security to counter any Libyan terror campaign against American diplomats.
Austrian police also confirmed that they too had increased security around the embassy. The confirmation came after Vienna's two leading newspapers reported that Austrian intelligence agencies were tracking
The newspapers, Neue Kronen Zeitung and Kurier, said Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy planned to attack U.S. embassies in Vienna, London, Paris and Rome in retaliation for the downing of two Libyan planes by American jets this summer.
An embassy spokesman said the heightened security was ordered some time ago.
"It started right after the Libyan planes were downed, and we were alerted about some sort of retaliation," the spokesman said.
The Libyan Soviet-made Sukhi-22s were shot down Aug. 19 by U.S. F-14s over the Gulf of Sidra.
Walesa meets with Polish leaders
WAIRSA, Poland—Solidarity leader Lech Walesa, facing demands by militant unionists for his ouster, held an unprecedented emergency meeting yesterday with Communist party leader Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski and Roman Catholic Archbishop Jozef Glenm.
An official communique described the two-hour talks as "beneficial" and said they opened the way for negotiations on other issues, among them a proposal to give the union and the church as yet undefined roles in the Communist government.
Some 12,000 garment workers near Warsaw ended a nearly month-long strike and returned to work, but they were the only group of wildcat strikers to do so. A 14-day provincial general strike by 150,000 workers continued in Zielona Gora, and scattered strikes persisted elsewhere.
Walesa, who a year ago was accorded the stature of a national hero, said he would quit if the strikes lasted longer than another two weeks.
The six-man, six-woman jury found George Nichopoulos not guilty on all counts in an 11-count indictment after three hours of deliberation.
Preslev's doctor found not guilty
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elvis Presley's doctor was found not guilty yesterday of charges that he criminally overprescribed addictive drugs to Presley.
The jury began deliberations at 1:10 p.m. CST after hearing almost a month of testimony about the bizarre drug habits of Presley, who was in charge of the lab. The jury decided.
Jurors told reporters they were able to reach a quick证成 because they were well-trained in the law and could under the circumstances, which the defense had argued throughout the trial.
Budget writers push tax increase
WASHINGTON - Despite concerns that they appear to be floundering, Senate GOP budget writers put off the start of their budget work yesterday and gave the White House a few more days to consider a massive budget-balancing plan.
Sources said leading Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee hoped to predise House Office officials into supporting the plan by moving ahead with a budget deal.
Committee members hoped to build enough momentum to win Reagan's support for the proposed $10 billion package, which includes $80 billion in
Sources said the Senate Republican group modified its budget package at a meeting yesterday, increasing it to $199 billion but lowering the proposed cuts.
They said the group decided to ask for up to $85 billion in new taxes.
Students accept long drive to save money
By SUSAN COOKSEY Staff Reporter
Patt, Garnett, Kansas City, Mo,
senior, crawls out of bed at 5:30 a.m.
every day to make it to her classes on time.
She must get up that early to catch the prospect of an hour-long ride by herself, prospect of an hour-long ride by herself.
HER STORY is not an unusual one. Many students spend as much as three hours a day driving back and forth from their homes to Lawrence.
Garnett is just one of 2,391 students who are commuting to the University of Kansas this semester, according to the office of admissions and records.
junior, said she would rather live on campus so she could attend some student events and not have to worry about driving back in the dark.
Some people really enjoy the ad-
dition to a campus, but often it dittical at ttt.
"I don't get to see my friends as much, and it gets lonely at times," said Garnett. "I have to stay up and work more, and it takes a lot more effort to buckle down and get something done after an hour drive."
"I's horrible," said Boostian. "I can't afford to keep up two houses for two years, and I can't afford any of the books in Lawrence, so I commute."
Pam Bostian, Kansas City, Kan..
"I'm not much into the social life on campus," said Bloomar. "I'm pretty studious, so it works out well living at home."
The expense of keeping up two houses is also keeping Steve Silverman, Prairie Village graduate student, from moving to Laygregy.
"My wife has a job in Kansas City, so it just better economically for us to live there."
Silverman, who lived in Lawrence during his undergraduate study, also said he had had his fill of camp activities. Although he spends two hours a day on the road every time he commutes to campus, he said he thought it was worth it to get away from so much of an academic environment.
Karen Bryan, Lenexa junior, commutes because her husband's job is in Kansas City. She said that she didn't miss campus life because she was married and a little older than most of the other students.
SHE SAID THAT sometimes she felt a little silly sitting with younger students, the reward of obtaining a college degree would be worth the effort of commending.
"I'm really not into the college scene," said Bryan. "I like being able to detach myself from school."
He also said that although commuting to campus was working out well for him now, he probably would move on campus for the last two years of college so he could work in an academic atmosphere and meet new people.
James Bloomar, Topeka freshman,
commutes three days a week because it is cheaper living at home and because he has a job in Topeka.
Bryan said that this year she was worried about the possibility of driving by herself to campus in bad weather. She said that because last year's winter cold did, she didn't have to worry, but she thought this year would be a different story.
A more relaxing atmosphere is the reason James Eickhoff, Edwardsville sophmore, commutes to campus from his home.
"The bad thing is that I can't find anyone to ride with me," Bryan said. Last year I commuted and carpooled sailed gas and gave me someone to talk to."
"I stayed at a residence hall for a week once and it felt like you were penned up and couldn't go anywhere," Eickhoff said.
He said that although he enjoyed staying at home, he might move to
campus in several years to live in a more studious atmosphere.
Garnett now has been from home to Lawrence and back. She made it home to 6 p.m. and sat down in front of the television. She sometimes finds it hard to study after the hour drive back from Lawrence.
