K.C. flood plan being readied
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A multi-million dollar plan to prevent a replay of Kansas City's daily 1979 food is nearing completion by the U.S. Army Corps of
The plan would require more than 100 families to move from their homes and a series of bridges in the Country Club Plaza area might have to be rebuilt.
According to Robert L. Robert, chief of the Corps' basin planning branch, cities, counties and the federal government would share the cost of the
The 1977 flood killed 25 persons and caused an estimated $100 million in
Engineers said the bridges along the Plaza had acted as dams because of their shine, and suggested rebuilding some of them.
Another target of the plan, Rotert will, will be some older, middle-class homes that would be replaced by parks. He said it would be cheaper to move them to a more suburban location.
Flu drua tests show promise
HOUSTON—Russian and American doctors yesterday compared test results of two drugs that may help prevent the flu.
According to recent studies, two drugs called Amantidine and Rimantadine can prevent flu among persons exposed to the virus or can speed recovery in them.
Only Amantadine is now public available in the United States and individual physicians must prescribe the drug for patient use, officials said. The medication is not approved by the FDA.
But George Galasso, of the National Institute of Health and a spokesman for the American team, emphasized that the drugs were neither a new nor a final
Galasso said vaccines were the ideal treatment because it was better to prevent the disease than to treat it. He also said it was easier to give one shot of the vaccine.
Galasso said the new use for the drugs was not really an innovation, but that their value was being recognized more.
He said both drugs have been available in the United States for years, although Amantadine was licensed only for treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Tena denounces Soviet Union
ATLANTA—Teng Haiso-ping said yesterday that China would not abandon its new policy of friendship with the United States to renure its alliance with
Teng said that after Stalin died the Soviet Union had reinstituted a policy that was aimed at gaining control of China's affairs.
At a reception and luncheon in Atlanta, Teng said that Sino-Soviet relations had deteriorated because the Kremlin leadership, beginning with Khrushchev in 1984, had changed Russia from a socialist country to a social imperialist country that pursued a policy of dominating its neighbors.
Farmers gather for protest
**WAIRHENTON**, $\textcircled{1}$—An army of defiant farmers bivouacked near the Bull run battlefield, awaiting the arrival of a 38-mile long convoy of American troops.
More than 400 tractors and other farm vehicles, which started out from central Texan two weeks ago, rolled into campgrounds on the outskirts of
Kansas.
Meanwhile, another tractorcade, which started out in Colorado in early January, had grown to contain about 800 tractors stretching 36 miles as it moved.
Leaders of the farmers' movement were predicting that by the weekend as many as 2,000 tractors would be assembled at three campgrounds and ready to roll into Washington Monday in a demonstration twice as large as last year's protest.
Although a newly-passed traffic regulation bars farm vehicles from the grounds of the Capital complex, Lon Kerr, a wheat farmer and spokesman for the American Agriculture movement in Springfield, Colo., said the only way the farmers' protest could be stopped was by the National Guard.
Tax-cut bills passed bu House
The food tax bill headed for the Senate on 8-38 vote, while the utilities tax measure was advanced to a final vote today in the House after a tally of 109-12.
TOPEKA-A A bill to remove the 3 percent state sales tax from food sold in grocery stores was passed yesterday by the Kansas House, and another measure to remove the sales tax from utility bills won overwhelming approval.
The two bills would provide a reduction in sales taxes and in general fund revenues of about $70 million a year. Gov. John Carlson said the state could not afford the reductions at this time, and Democratic House leaders asked during debate where the money was coming from to fund them.
However, a substantial number of Democrats supported both bills, which are part of the Republican legislative leadership's program.
It has been estimated that the food tax elimination could save a family of four more than $4 a year.
Senators propose Taiwan bill
WASHINGTON - Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Alan Cranston, D-Dalif, introduced a resolution yesterday designed to protect, "the peace at the nuclear site in Iran."
The joint resolution, which must be passed by both houses and signed by the president before enactment, would not have the force of law. It asks the president to consult with Congress before taking any action that might harm Taiwan.
tep. Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass., said earlier the White House indicated Carter would not be averse to such a resolution unless it is tacked onto his proposed budget and that the president will act.
Cranston said, "It is important, now, at the outset of a new relationship with the People's Republic of China, that this concern and responsibility of Congress and the role of the president be made clear so that the peace, prosperity and welfare of Taiwan will, in fact, be assured."
Countu liquor option proposed
TOPEKA-A - A Senate committee yesterday recommended passage of a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the sale of liquor-by-the-
The resolution would place a constitutional amendment on the 1980 ballot that would eliminate state prohibition against "open saolons." The bill also would let county voters decide, in a separate election, whether to allow sale of mixed drinks within their individual counties.
The committee rejected a similar constitutional amendment that would have allowed sale of liquor-by-the-drink but did not include a county option.
Committee approves beer bill
The issue is expected to have a chance of winning Senate approval, but opponents say they can easily block its two-thirds endorsement in the House.
Approval of the county-option resolution will require a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Legislature, but does not require approval of the governor.
The bill was approved by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee and sent to the full house for debate.
TOPEKA—A legislative committee yesterday endorsed a bill that would allow the sale of books on Sunday.
Members approved the bill, sponsored by State Rep. Mike Meacham, R-Wichita, which removes the prohibition against selling beer on Sunday. The bill would allow grocery stores to sell 3.2 percent beer between noon and midnight Sundays.
The committee also endorsed a bill sponsored by Meacham that would require the University of Kansas and Kansas State University to play annual basketball games.
The bill would require KU and K-State to play at least one women's and one men's basketball game with Wichita State, which is not in the Big Eight competition.
Weather
The weather forecast calls for increasingly cloudy skies, with a 20 percent chance of light snow. Temperatures between 0 and 5 below and winds from 10 to 20 mph can be expected. The weekend will be bitterly cold, with a slight chance of precipitation.
Khomeini sets stage for showdown in Iran
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Ayatullah Ruhullah Khomeini set the stage for a showdown with the government of Prime Minister Shaipour Bakhtiar after returning home triumphantly yesterday from 14 years of exile.
He challenged the shaky government and warned Americans and others that he would cut the hands of foreign influence over this nation.
More than a million ecstatic Iranians, chanting "Alah Akbari!" "G God is great," cheered the 78-year-old Moslem patriarch prince into Tehran after flying from France.
"I am going to establish a government with the backing of this nation," he told hundreds of thousands of supporters at a rally in the main Tehran cemetery, burial place of many victims of the bloody antishta unheaval.
Pandemonium welcomed the frail, white-bearded hero of the anti-shah revolution and was given to him.
He denounced as illegal the monarchy, the
shah-endorsed Baktikir government and the national Parliament. He accused the shah of despotism and vowed that the shah associates would never back to Iran.
"There cannot be a country with two governments, so the illegal Bakhtarian government is the most dangerous."
Khomeini wants to establish a religiously oriented but vagely defined Islamic

Khomeini damned Iran's foreign military advisers, many of whom are American.
"Our victory can be achieved only when the hands of these foreigners are shortened," he said in an airport arrival speech. "The fact that I am the Amityto cut to the hands of foreigners."
