59 dead in Rhodesian crash
SALISBURY, Rhodesia - A Rhodesian airliner crushed minutes after take off yesterday from the northwestern resort of Kariba, killing all 59 passengers aboard.
Airline officials said they feared black nationalist guerrillas had shot down the plane.
An Air Rhodesia announcement said there were 54 passengers and five crew members aboard the four-engine turboprop Viscount. Army troops reached the aircraft in three hours.
The downed airliner carried people on holiday who had spent the weekend at Kariba, which features a casino and fishing on Kariba Lake.
Last fall, black nationalist guerrillas claimed responsibility for shooting down another Air Ribbon plane with a Soviet-made SAM-7 ground-to-air, heat-seeking missile. That plane also went down shortly after taking off from the airport, killing 10 survivors alight on the ground by guerrillas. Eight persons escaped alive.
House redraws state districts
TOPEKA- The Kansas House will hold a final roll call vote today on legislation drawing new boundary lines for the 40 districts of the Kansas Senate.
The House gave tentative approval to the legislation yesterday after less than 10 minutes of consideration. State Rep. Carlos Cooper, R-Homer Springs, and chairman of the House Legislative Apportionment Committee, outlined the background of the Senate legislation and then called for questions. No questions
If the bill passes the House, it will move to the Senate for consideration of a House amendment to reinstate two areas inadvertently omitted from it.
A House redistricting plan still is being worked on by the House Reapportionment Committee. The Kansas Constitution requires both houses to update and redraw their districts this year and again every 10 years to make sure all residents have equal representation in the Kansas Legislature.
Spending lid details slow bill
TOPEKA-Members of a Kanaa House and Senate conference committee failed to agree agreement on differences about a bill that would set up a $350 million tax relief.
The bill passed by the Senate would create a tax relief fund into which excess tax revenues—those not spent or needed to maintain balances—would flow for $50 million.
However, the House made several changes, including the elimination of the relief fund. The House bill also would allow funds committed last year for the enrichment of programs in fiscal years 1981 and 1982 to be exempted from the 7 percent lid.
The conference committee appeared close to agreement on restoration of the tax relief fund. It remained undecided, however, about which spending areas would be included in the budget.
Budget move favored in poll
NEW YORK—Americans overwhelmingly favor a constitutional amendment required a balanced federal budget because they do not trust politicians to put their best foot forward.
The poll, taken last Monday and Tuesday, found 70 percent of those interviewed favored such an amendment. Eighteen percent opposed such a move.
Support for an amendment has slipped in the past three months, however. The current level is 5 points below the November AP-NBC News poll and 9 points below the November NBC News poll.
Only one in four of the 1,600 adults interviewed said they thought politicians would work to balance the budget. Seventy percent said they did not think politicians would work to wipe out the deficit. Six percent said they were not sure.
Twenty-one percent said that wiping out waste would balance the budget. Twenty-three percent said they did not agree and 6 percent said they were not.
Ark. almost makes pot legal
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Arkansas legislators were on the verge of legalizing marijuana until they discovered their error yesterday.
A bill designed to consolidate drug enforcement activities in the Arkansas Health Department had passed the Arkansas house by an 84-vote last month.
The error in the eight-page bill was a clause repealing many conflicting laws. One of those was the 1973 law defining marjura as an illegal controlled sub-
Had the bill continued through the Senate and been signed by the governor, the listing of marijuana as a controlled substance would have been removed.
The error infurished the bill's sponsor, Rep. Lloyd George, D-Danville, who promptly recalled the bill from the Senate and killed it yesterday.
Sue Frank, a health department pharmacist, said, "I told George that if we struck the final two lines of the bill, it would be OK. But he got real upset and tried to take it away."
Chinese view farm machinery
INDEPENDENCE, Mo.—An eight-member delegation from the People's Republic of China toured the Allis Chalmers' combine manufacturing plant yesterday as part of a nation-wide tour to gather information for modernization of their country's agricultural programs.
According to the leader of the Chinese group of six men and two women, the Chinese were not on a buying mission, but were trying to learn more about their culture.
The leader, Sung Shu You, of the Agricultural Mechanization Bureau, said his nation planned to make significant gains next year in agriculture.

2 refineries sau supplies OK
A spokesman for the Phillips Petroleum Co. refinery plant in Kansas City, Kans., said Sunday that plant operations were running nearly at capacity, and if it were not for a broken unit, the plant would be pumping 15,000 more barrels of oil than its current daily average of 75,000 barrels.
KANAS CITY, Kan- Despite threats of large U.S. shortages of petroleum products because of a cutoff of Iranian oil, two area oil refineries say their suppliers are under pressure.
Bill Davis, a spokesman for the Amoco refinery in Sugar Creek, Mo., said because his plant refined mostly a heavy domestic crude oil, it, too, was not affected.
Wyo. halts speed limit issue
CHEYNEHNE, Wyo. —The speed limit issue in the Wyoming Legislature died yesterday when the Wyoming House killed commissioner legislation.
Wyoming had led the nation in a fight against the 5-year-old federally mandated 5 mph speed limit, a fight that gathered support from several other states.
The compromise measure would have decreased fines for motorists arrested traveling between 55 and 65 mph. This bill was proposed as an alternative to a more straight forward bill approved by the Wyoming Senate that would have raised the speed limit to 65 mph.
The compromise bill drew only 20 supporters in the 62-member House. It would have decreased speeding fines to $5 for motorists driving between 55 and 64 mph, but raised penalties to $30 for those driving between 65 and 74. For driving more than 75 mph, it called for a minimum fine of $45.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -Backers of Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini struggled in the capital streets to keep their extremist fury from dissolving into anarchy yesterday.
Iranians celebrate new leadership
Khomeini urged followers to avoid "arson, destruction and cruelty." He said those indulging in such acts disobeyed "Alah's orders and are traitors to the Islamic
Bands of civilians rampaged jubilantly through Tehran's streets fireing weapons
But many bands of armed Iranians, euphoric with their new power, appeared to
be out of control on the first day after the fall of the government appointed by the shah.
The state radio, quoting hospital spokesman, said Sunday's fighting in Tehran killed 417 people and wounded 98. Violence occurred in earlier violence during the weekend.
KHOMEINI AIDES asked civilians to in unauthorized weapons at local hospital.
It also was reported that 150 people were killed in the northeastern city of Tabriz and 327 in the southwestern city of Afrin.
There were no reports of violence against the estimated 7,000 Americans still in Iran.
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)—When U.S. Defense Secretary Harold Brown arrives in Israel today he will find strategic planners here preoccupied with two new threats to Israel's security—the upheaval in Iran and the reconciliation between Iraq and Syria.
Brown's visit to Mideast to affirm U.S. commitment
Brown's swing through Saud Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Egypt is aimed at demonstrating America's commitment to the effort in the aftermath of the unbefeashed Iran.
Iran nurtured important ties with Israel during the years, and these links were yet another target of the Moslem opposition in Iran.
Israeli officials contend they will be able
to make up for the loss of Iranian petroleum,
likely to be raised in
meetings with Brown
A long-standing U.S.-Israel agreement commits the United States to make up for what it lost.
On the West Bank and Golan Heights, Brown will see the cliffs and canyons the Israeli army says it must hold to beat back an invasion on its eastern front.
SUCH A THREAT may appear more real to Israel now that Iraq and Syria have put aside their differences. The countries are in the process of uniting politically and militarily to oppose Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's peace initiative.
Israel has not reacted publicly to the alliance between Iraq and Syria, but comments in the Israeli press have become increasingly gloomy.
