Taiwan accepts diplomacy plan
TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan announced yesterday that it would go along with U.S. plans to handle relations between the two countries through private cor-
James Soong, director of Taiwan's information office, said Taiwan was creating the Coordination Council for North American Affairs to act as a
country that Taiwan is. The states established the institute to handle American interests in Taiwan after Washington broke diplomatic relations with Nationalist China and its ally, China.
Soong said the Taiwan council would be an official body of the Taiwan government and all treaties and agreements with the United States would
Washington, however, has said it would continue all pacts except a 1953 mutual defense treaty which will be terminated next year.
Earlier, Taiwan had balked at using private organizations to handle its affairs, and had asked the United States that relations remain on a governmental level. But U.S. officials said they could not retain diplomatic ties with Taiwan as long as they recognized the People's Republic of China as the representative of the country.
Carters tour rural Mexico
IXTILLO EL GRANDE, President and Mrs. Carter arrived yesterday for a tour of an agricultural village about 100 miles south of Mexico
Carter was scheduled to tour a first grade classroom, join local farmers for a buffet lunch and hear a brief on the village's progress under a rural a
Before departing for the village, Carter and Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo spent about 9-10 hours discussing illegal immigration, trade barriers and human rights.
López Portillo, who surprised and irritated U.S. officials Wednesday when he made pointed public criticisms of the United States, gave Carter a correct, but cool reception. The Mexican leader also used unusually blunt language, in a toast at a state luncheon.
Noting the economic independence expected to flow from Mexico's oil and natural gas, Lopez Portillo said, "Mexico has suddenly found itself the center of American attention—attention that is a surprising mixture of interest, disdain and fear."
Darvon ingredient ban refused
WASHINGTON—HEW Secretary Joseph A. Califano refused yesterday to ban the key ingredient in the popular pumkin killer Darvon.
However, Califano did order the Food and Drug Administration to issue special drug builtnets to one million doctors within the next 30 days spelling out the details of the program.
Darvon is the third most popular pain reliever prescribed by doctor
He also ordered the FDA to hold a public hearing on whether the drug should be placed under more stringent federal controls.
Cafufo told a news conference the drug was generally not dangerous when taken as directed.
But he noted that Darvon now ranks second behind barbituates as the prescription drug most associated with suicides.
prescription drug most associated with suicides.
He also said the drug was particularly dangerous when taken with alcohol.
Senate gets Regents term bill
1074KA - A bill requiring that the terms of Kansas Board of Regents members expire Jan. 31 rather than Dec. 31 was introduced yesterday in the members' meeting.
The bill, introduced by the Senate Judiciary Committee, would help avoid confirmation controversies such as one that hit the Senate earlier this year.
The measure would allow incoming governors to appoint Regents whose term ends in the years the state's governor is replaced.
A problem occurred this session when former Gov. Robert F. Bennett, a Republican, responded two of three Regents whose terms expired Dec. 31.
The Senate, which must approve all such appointments, confirmed one of Bennett's appointments and rejected the other.
Bennett voluntarily left the third slot open for incoming Gov. John Carlin to fill. However, Carlin, a democrat, announced he would fill all three Regems
Stephan issues ERA opinion
TOPEKA - The Kansas Legislature has the authority to rescind its 1972认证 of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Attorney General Jeffrey Garnett said in a statement.
In issuing his first ERA opinion since assuming office, Stephan adopted the reasoning of his predecessors in saying that although the Legislature may rescind its ratification, it will be up to the Congress whether to accept the resolution.
Stephan's opinion parallels many other attorneys general opinions issued since the ratification, generally to legislators opposed to the amendment.
Requests concerning rescission is plaged former Attorney General Curt Schroeder that he began to simply refer rulings on ERA to previous opinions
in mms year's opinion, requested by State Reps. Keith Farrar, R-Hugdon, and Lee Hamm, D-Pratt, Stephan said extension of the time for ratification beyond the original March 22, 1979 deadline, set by Congress when it passed the amendment had no effect on Kansas' 1972 ratification.
Kan. Patrol funding shift urged
TOPEKA—The Kansas Highway Patrol serves all Kanans and not just highway users, a state House committee was told yesterday, in justification of a new highway permit.
supporters of the proposal, which would remove the financial burden from the highway fund, testified for the Kansas House Way and Means Com-
They said the patrol's duties have grown from more patrolling of highways to such activities as transporting blood and providing security for the governor.
The $11.1 million from the highway fund, which would be freed by the change,
would beearmured for the state Department of Transportation for use in
transit.
The highway patrol bill is viewed by many as an alternative to a proposal by Gov. John Carlin to transfer more than $12 million from the general revenue base.
Wolf Creek opponents appeal
The charge was made in an appeal filed in federal appeals court by the Mid-America Coalition for Energy Alternatives. The appeal charges that the utilities, Kansas City Power and Light Co. and Kansas Gas and Electric Co., and the federal commission "have all but succeeded in pulling a fast one."
KANAS CITY, Mo.—Opponents of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant charged yesterday that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the utilities were "wrongly implicated."
The coalition said certain power plants on the KG&E system that now burn natural gas could be converted to burn coal, eliminating the need for the 1,500-megawatt plant.
The appeal does not explain how conversion of the KG&E plants could provide added power for KCP&L, which will own about half of the Wolf Creek plant.
The coalition already has been rebuffed once by the appeals court on the coal conversion issue.
Weather
It will be increasingly cloudy and cold today, with the high in the teens, according to the National Weather Service. There is a chance for light snow tomorrow morning, with the expected low at about 10 above. Snow could continue through tomorrow, with an expected high in the upper teens to mid-20s.
U.S. planes stand by to airlift from Iran
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - The United States readied helicopters and big jets yesterday for an airlift of thousands of Americans from Iran.
Blood fighting raged for the third hour, when hundreds were reported killed.
Unconfirmed reports said rebels seeking local autonomy were battling forces of the provisional government of Ayatollah Rubella Khommini.
In Tehran, Marxist gunmen attacked an apartment building where they said agents of SAVAK, the shah's secret service, were holding out.
These Marxists have rejected Khomeini's call to turn in their arms, which were distributed or stolen during last week's attacks and to the year-long, anti-shah campaign.
"WE CANNOT protect American lives in Iran," said the U.S. Embassy's announcement of the evacuation. "You are allowed one suitcase per person. Evacuation planes will begin flying Feb. 17."
Some radicals have denounced the way they may贬政府 as not sufficiently友善.
The announcement came one day after scores of guerrillas stormed the embassy compound and briefly held 102 Americans hostage.
The Khomeini camp, whose fighters rescued the Americans, identified the attackers as communists and rightists trying to discredit the new regime. Some of the guerrillas described themselves as communists.
There are thought to be 7,000 Americans left in Iran, down from a peak of about 45,000 a year ago. U.S. officials hope to reduce the number to about 2,000 with the evacuation.
Those expected to remain include skeletal staff at the embassy and at some corporate headquarters, about 100 American journalists and Americans married to Iranians.
MEHID BAZARGAN, prime minister of the Khomeini government, said that evacuates would be given safe passage to Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport and enough guards to move 1,000 people a day.
Turkey gave permission to the United States to send five big helicopters and six C-130 transport planes to an air base at Incirule in northern Turkey, for possible use
Two other U.S. transports were standing by in Athens, Greece, but U.S. officials in Washington said these would be used only in an emergency.
The evacuation is scheduled to begin tomorrow with at least two chartered Pan American World Airways jetliners that can be deployed from the airport's department spokesman Hodder Carter said.
