Soviets warn U.S. against meddling in Egypt's affairs
MOSCOW—The Soviet Union yesterday sent a strong warning to the United States not to interfere with Egypt and said the overall situation in the Middle East would remain stable.
"What is taking place in that country may or may not be to the liking of some people over the ocean, but no one has granted the United States the right to resort to a policy of crude decree," said the authoritative International Review column of Pravda, the communist party newspaper.
It said the United States had used Sadat's assassination "for stepping up its military presence there and for making direct threats against sovereign,
"One thing is clear—the world is witnessing crude pressure by the United States as regards a sovereign state. Egypt."
The review, which usually reflects the opinions of high levels of the Communist party, also said the Middle East situation had "sharply deteriorated" since Sadat's death Oct. 6 and blamed the decline on the United States.
"There are fears now that the process of the consolidation of links between Egypt and the United States might slow down," Praveda said.
"This might be true. But it is not clear why Washington believes that as a result the United States has the right to mediate in Egypt's affairs."
Cuts begin in Education Department
WASHINGTON - The Education Department is sending its first layoff notices to 200 to 230 employees, and the agency is now "about down as far as for
Bell said most of the layoffs would be in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which administers specific federal grant programs.
"We are about down as far as we can go." Bell said of his department, which President Reagan want to eventually abolish. "And we were about to be in a position to do that."
General layoff notices will be sent immediately, Bell said. Notices will be sent to specific employees in January after it is known how many will retire and how many will exercise their option to "bump" less senior workers and take their jobs.
Reporters were barred from an employees' meeting at which the layoffs were announced. Bell said he was "received silently."
Congress gets anti-Watt petitions
WASHINGTON—Environmentalists waving American flags and saying "Dump Watt!" buttons yesterday gave Congress a pile of petition signs by more than 1.1 million citizens demanding the removal of Interior Secretary James Watt.
House Speaker Thomas N'Oell, D-Mass, and Sen. Alan Cranston,D-Claim, accepted the petitions at a rally on the Capitol steps, staged under a huge red, gray and black banner reading "More than 1 million Americans know Watt's wrong!"
JAMES WATT
About 150 members and supporters of the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth gathered for the rally, which capped a six-month campaign against Watt. Watt is a former Colorado attorney associated with pro-development interests.
After delivering the petitions, tied with red ribbon into bundles and马后趁其 states, the state leaders split into groups to拜访 their leaders.
Military controllers sent to FAA
WASHINGTON—The Air Force announced yesterday that 190 more military air traffic controllers were being sent to Federal Aviation Administration air control operations, bringing to 1,000 the number promised after the Aug. 3 strike by union controllers.
The new contingent of military controllers will include 100 from the Air Force, 48 from the Navy and 42 from the Army.
“These additional controllers represent the last increment of the 1,000 controllers the Department of Defense originally agreed to provide FAA.”
"The Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration are working closely on a daily basis to ensure both the military and civilian air traffic control forces remain capable of accommodating the needs of the nation." It said.
Due to rotation, leaves and transfers of controllers by the FAA, the actual number of military controllers at civilian tower and centers will be about
U.S. bases in Greece get reprieve
ATHENS, Greece - Prime Minister-elect Andreas Papandreu yesterday said he would make "no abrupt move" against U.S. bases that anchor NATO's base in Greece.
President Reagan said it was "too bad" the new government planned to withdraw from NATO and added that the United States would "have to see what can be done" about it. Moscow hailed Papandreou's victory as a "considerable change."
Pandareunel's Panhellenic Socialist movement, Pasok, won 174 seats in the 300-member parliament in Sunday's election, while the new Democracy Party of outgoing Prime Minister George Rallis won 113 seats. The Moscow-leaning Communist party won 13 seats.
Without committing himself to a time frame, Pandarew pledged to close U.S. bases in Greece and and the key defense role his country has fulfilled as a leader of the war effort.
Video recorders dealt judicial blow
SAN FRANCISCO—Owners of home video recording equipment who duplicate programs played on television are violating copyright laws and the manufacturers could be held liable, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.
In a decision that could affect millions of homes throughout the United States, the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that machine owners violated the Equal Employment Opportunity Law.
"Off-the-air copying of copyrighted audio-visual materials by owners of videotape recorders in their own homes for private, non-commercial use constitutes an infringement of . . . copyrighted audio-visual materials," the court ruled.
The court, reversing a decision of U.S. District Judge Warren J. Ferguson, said Universal Studios and Walt Disney Productions had a right to sue the Sony Corp. for violating copyright laws with the production of its Betamax video recorder.
Kansas sheriff buys rapid-fire guns
GIRARD The shelter of Crawford County has decided to arm two of his deputies with rapid-firing semi-automatic riffles. The town's citizens aren't
Sheriff John Chester said the AR18s might be necessary in some situations, although he hoped they would never be used. He said the rifles wouldn't be used without his permission and would be kept locked either in his office or the trunk of the sheriff's car.
Despite those precautions, Johnnie Brown, Crawford county commissioner, said it was unnecessary to purchase the rifles. But Brown said there was nothing the County Commission could do about the purchase of the weapons.
"The public is not too happy about it," Brown said. "I have lived in Crawford County all my life, and I've never seen a time when he'd need

Three Americans win share of 1981 science Nobel Prizes
They have over three years of Senate experience between them.
By United Press International
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Three Americans, a Swede and a Japanese won the 1981 Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry yesterday for laser research in atomic bombs, expanding Einstein's radiation theories and formulating "grammar-like" rules for drug development.
The awards were the final 181 Nobel Prizes—each worth $180,000—and again dominated by the Americans, who had six laureates this year. Forty-five Americans have won the prizes since their inception in 1901.
Prof. Nicolaas Bloembergen, a Dutch-born natural American, and Arthur Schawlow, professor, Stanford University, 60, shared the physics prize for developing laser spectroscopy. Their discoveries include a method for enriching the uranium used in atomic bombs.
Polish-born American Roald Hofman, 44, of Cornell University, shared the chemistry prize with Japanese professor Kenichi Fukui of Kyoto University for research with high-speed computers that help predict the results of synthesizing new chemical compounds.
The other half went to Swedish professor Kai Siegbahn, 63, of Upsala University for basic studies in electron physics. He had also studied the electron expelled from atomic systems.
Hoffman, the youngest 1981 laureate, and Fukui had aided chemists in preparing commercial drugs and biological studies, the Royal Academy award.
Working separately, the two professors had developed guidelines for chemists like "rules in grammar that govern statements," an academy spokesman said.
The 1981 Nobel awards saw American James Tobin of Yale University win in economic sciences, and two Americans, Roger Sperry and David Hulub, split the medicine award with an American-supported Wales. Torsten Wiesel.
THEIR ONLY opponents so far are the Phillips and Monte Janssen of
Phillips, Overland Park junior, and Janssen, Solomon junior, are two political unknows running on the slogan, "We're not going to let this guy get away." We'll make a mockery of the student elections. That's what we're here for."
Phillips said, "I think our slogan pretty much says it." When asked why he was running, he said, "I would rather have students come out and vote against us than stay home and not vote at all."
The Groucho Marx Coalition's purpose it to "put the fun back in elections" Phillips said. "For the most Senate Senate is not a life or death thing."
another. What goal, he said, is to create more student involvement in Senate elections.

"You could almost call that a co-goal of our campaign," he said. "I think our election turnout is miserable."
Philips said the coalition's platform included seceding from the United States and declaring war because "in the past, it's always worked that you lost a war to the United States, your economy has always been rebuilt."
He said that the platform also called for looking into KU's involvement with the Associated Students of Kansas, a statewide student lobby group.
"I personally don't think it's doing us any good to stay in there," he said.
THE THIRD PART of the coalition's platform includes taking a look at the KU on Wheels bus service.
Phillips said that he didn't think the fact that he was the station manager for KJHK radio station would influence of interest with his candidacy.
AND PHILIPS maintained that the Groucho Marx Coalition was not a joke coalition, despite its name.
He said his duties at the station were administrative and that he had nothing to do with the news operation of the station.
"We'd like to hear what the student body has to say." Phillips said.
"It is our feeling that this trend would continue with the election of our opponent."
"I don't see any problem whatsoever." he said.
"We want to return student government to the students, not have the office continue to be used as a resume-padder for prospective political science graduates," Phillips and Janssen said in a press release.
Phillips said he hoped students would take his coalition seriously, or at least wait until he and Adkins faced each other in a debate.
"While you can be effective," Phillips said, "you can also have a good time, too."
The Groucho Marx Coalition is out to show students that student government can be fun. Phillips said.
Prospective candidates for student body president and vice president have until 5 p.m. tomorrow to file for the Senate elections.
Non-student senators must have 500 signatures on a filing petition to be eligible for the Nov. 18 and 19 elections.
The filing deadline for students running for Senate seats is Oct. 30.
