Tena asks West's cooperation
WASHINGTON - China's Teng Hsiao-ping yesterday called for a broad collaboration between the United States, China and western Europe to deny the use of Chinese technology.
"We hold the view that the danger of war comes from the Soviet Union," Teng told reporters.
The vice premier denounced Cuba for causing trouble in Africa on Moscow's behalf and denounced Vietnam for its invasion into Cambodia.
Teng did not specify what kind of cooperation he proposed with the United States and western Europe, but said an example would be the French intervention in support of Zaire last year against an invasion by Communist-armed Katanga rebels.
Carlin hedaes on death penalty
TOPEKA--Although he remains philosophically opposed to capital punishment, Gov. John Carlin said yesterday that if the Kansas Legislature sent him a bill to repeal his previous law, it would be "very unpopular."
Carlin said he would study U.S. Supreme Court decisions and would apply the guidelines the court established to any bill the Legislature sent him, before taking action.
Carlin's position was questioned after his administration hired Patrick D. McManus as Kansas' new secretary of corrections.
Siemanus told a news conference last Friday that he strongly opposed capital punishment and would resign, rather than carry out executions, if Kansas had done so.
MEXICO CITY - Pope John Paul II, winding up the first foreign tour of his panic, spoke on yesterday for freedom of the press.
The pope appeared in a papal press audience before a crowd of reporters who had covered his trip, saying he was impressed by how hard journalists work, and who were amazed at the pope's power.
"Serve all the truth," he said. "In the measure that you pursue this ideal, we assure the church will remain at your side, because that is her ideal too. She loves the truth and freedom, freedom to know the truth, to preach it, to communicate it to others."
In a morning appearance in Mexico City, the pope spoke to about 250,000 students from Catholic universities throughout the country, urging them to
was surplus called misleading
HOUSTON-Government reports to industries claiming the existence of a natural gas surplus are not true, according to a private energy economist.
The economist, John H. Lichtbahn, executive director of the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation, Inc., said yesterday that the government had announced plans to provide $1 billion in funding.
Lichtblaas said large commercial users had been told by the government that, "the natural gas shortage of the last six to seven years suddenly has turned into a disaster."
Although supply currently exceeds demand, he said, Energy Secretary James Schlesinger's characterization of the situation as a surplus is
"Neither on the supply side nor the demand side of natural gas have pure market factors changed sufficiently to justify the administration's perception that there is no need for regulation."
"Yet the administration is quite correct in saying that considerably more gas is currently available at existing prices than the market is able to absorb."
**MANUAL CROSSCONTINUED, AND ANY OTHERS, AND any fuel, such as gasoline, oil or柴油 would be in demand.**
The surplus of gas will not last long if there is an oil shortage, be said.
Delau sought in deportation
WASHINGTON - Sno. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, yesterday urged immigration officials to delay planned deportation proceedings against more than 550 Canadian and Mexican Mennonites who have lived in Seminole, Texas for the past year.
The two groups of Mennonites, a religious sect known for its hard-working habits and conservative lifestyle, emigrated to Texas in February 1977.
But the settlers entered the United States with only tourist cards and since have been seeking permanent residency status.
vonneonite leaders, confronted with their status as illegal aliens just months after their arrival in the United States, said they had assumed that a $2.6 million land and farm machinery investment they had made would assure them of permanent status.
In a letter to Leoneil Castillo, Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner, Benten said he would introduce private legislation in hope of making the issue more accessible.
House passes sales tax bill
TOPEKA-Kansas House members yesterday tentatively passed their first major piece of legislation this session by agreeing to eliminate a 3.5 percent sales tax.
Legislators today will take final action on the bill, which would remove the food sales tax as of Jan. 1, 1980.
The sales tax bill is one of the key measures in the program drawn up by the Republican legislators and has been opposed by Democrat Gov. John Carlin.
Elimination of the sales tax would reduce state revenues by an estimated $45 million a year.
Before a preliminary vote on the bill, members of the House passed two amendments that would provide added tax relief for farmers and local
An amendment by Rep. Jack Rodrock D-LeoTI, removed the sales tax from all farm machinery. Currently, only the repair and sales of used farm machinery are exempt from the tax. The Rodrock amendment would reduce state revenues by about $3.5 million a year.
An amendment by Rep. William Reardon, D-Kansas City, would increase the amount of state sales tax money going back to local units of government by $7.5 million a year. The money would be divided between revenue sharing and property tax reduction funds sent to the local unity.
Carlin wants tax amendment
TOPEKA- The Kansas Legislature must approve a constitutional amendment to prevent potential property tax sliffs before it orders a statewide tax hike.
The governor called a news conference also to warn lawmakers to send him a state snowdrop lidill before it sends any tax relief legislation.
Carlin indicated he would not sign any reappraisal bill until he got the proposed amendment.
His warning included a strong hint that he would veto measures removing the sales tax from grocery store food purchases and utility bills unless he got the
Carlin also set other legislation priorities, including a constitutional amendment to classify real property and tax the various classifications differently and an extension of a 15 percent reduction on assessed valuation of farm machinery.
Carlin also called for enactment of a strong property tax lid on local governments to provide additional protection for taxpayers.
Settina the record straight
The Kansan yesterday incorrectly reported on page 5 the requirements for mailing in correspondence course assignments. A student must wait until the first graded assignment has been returned by the instructor before proceeding to the next assignment. A student must have five consecutive assignments within a seven-day period without the consent of the instructor.

Tonight will be cold with a low of 10 and an 80 percent chance of snow this afternoon, followed by cold with wading ranges from minus 10 to 10 above. Highs will be in the 20s.
Transportation Secretary Brock Adams announced that as part of a nationwide effort to help prevent the elimination of the Lone Star from Chicago to Houston, through Kansas City and Wichita, and a rereouting of the Southwest Limited to Los Angeles through southwest Kansas.
WICHITA (AP) - Business leaders in six Kansas cities pieded yesterday to fight a Department of Transportation proposal to eliminate Amtrak passenger service in their communities. They called the decision "astine" and "ridiculous."
Proposed Amtrak cuts attacked
Rerouting the Southwest Limited to Los Angeles through Denver instead of Albuquerque, N.M., would eliminate Armstrong's work. The Browns hit Hutchinson, Dodge City and Garden City.

the National Railway.
Wichita, the state's largest city, would be without any rail passenger service if the train station is closed.
Cities on an old Union Pacific run from Kansas City to Denver, which was discontinued in 1980. In include Lawrence, Manhattan, Manhattan, Springs, Hoya, Oakley and Sharon Springs.
IT IS UP TO Amtrak to select the stops on
The Southwest Limited, he said, crossed very sparsely populated areas between Kansas City and Los Angeles and relied heavily on "end-to-end ridership that is particularly vulnerable to diversion to air transportation."
A study of the Lone Star route showed it was one of the least-used of Amtrak's long-distance routes and declined 17 percent in ridership in 1978, Adams said.
ADAMS' RECOMMENDATIONS, effective Oct. 1, are subject to congressional approval, a fact not lost on disgruntled citizens. The state legislature sets the six cities that would lose Ambrya service.
"We've already sent telegrams to our two Kansas senators and Congressmen Keith Sebelius and Dan Glickman," said Dick Eisenberg, secretary of the Dodge City chamber.
Jerry Malloy, manager of business and industrial development with the Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce, said his group has been helping city officials to get the decision changed.
"We feel the decision would be working a 'gross disservice to people living in southern
"WE PLAN to analyze the numbers they've released regarding passenger traffic and consult with our congressmen," he said.
"We do have reasonably significant boardings from the Wichita area. Amtrak provides a method of transportation that has advantages over others."
"We've been getting an awful lot of calls asking what people can do. We've already contacted Congressman Sebelius and will send a telegram to the Department of Transportation. We're urging people of this area to do likewise." Wilkinson said.
Monday, said Steve Wilkinson of the Garden City chamber,

Khomeini returns to Iran; Bakhtiar vows no change
TEHIRAN, Iran (AP)—Ayatulah Ruhabul Kohomei homeinued today home after more than 14 years of exile to pursue his political vision. A year-old monarchy with an Islamic republic.
As the chartered Air France飞娘 landed, the bearded 78-year-old religious leader of the revolution against Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, a million excited followers lined the 1-mile route he was to take from his home in the largest cemetery, where he was to speak.
Leaders in cities that may gain Amtrak service again were elated with the news.
"This can only be a plus to the economic development of the area," said S. S. Cotton, an analyst who described his reaction to the decision with the adjectives "fantastic" and "terrific."
Six tanks guarded the entrance to the airport, and the crowd made no attempt to get inside.
BUT THE ARMY was keeping a low profile, leaving the policing of the airport to the normal security force there, while 50,000 "Islamic police" designated by the welcoming committee maintained order along the route to the cemetery.
However, in advance of Khomeini's arrival, leaders of the armed forces paraded tanks and troops through Tehran yesterday to show that the decision to allow him to return did not signal surrender by the leader of Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtir.
KHOMEINI ISSUED a brief statement before leaving Paris, thankking the French government and saying, "I leave your country to so and serve my country."
A spokesman for Khomeini conceded that, after reports reached Paris of troops taking
