Khomeini still kept out of Iran
TEHRAN, Iran—The Iranian government yesterday managed to keep its key forged against Kuwait, out of the country for at least three more days.
for three weeks or more.
Prime Minister Shapur Khaitan's government also was given its biggest show of public support yet. Tens of thousands of anti-Khomeini demonstrators marched in Tehran yesterday, and similar pro-government demonstrations were reported in several other cities.
Khormeiin, 78, leader of the movement that forced Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi into an indefinite "vacation" abroad, had planned to end almost 15
But the Iranian military shut down the country's airports, supposedly until vigilant tomorrow in what appeared to be an effort to block his plans.
Khomeli, patriarch of Iran's 32 million Shah Moslems, said he intended to replace the Bakhtiar government, appointed by the shah, with an Islamic State insurgent.
It was announced at Khomeni's headquarters in France that he was postponing his return until at least Sunday. If the airport remains shutdown past Sunday, a Khomeni aide said, alternative plans will be made for getting to Iran.
Prison closing date tentative
KANAS CITY, Mo.—The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said yesterday that while the bureau planned to close its federal pentitientary at McNeil Island, Wash. by 1982, there were no definite dates set for the closing of pentitientaries at Leavenworth and Atlanta.
Bureau spokesman Michael Aum said goals of 1985 and 1987 for phasing out the Atlanta and Leavenworth pennitiatives had been tentatively set.
Aun said no firm date could be set for the closings because the number of inmates in the bureau's 39 federal prisons was constantly fluctuating. To phase out the three oldest penitentiaries required both space to place the prisoners and money.
Aun said the problem with the three prisons was that they were obsolete. Leavenworth, the oldest of the three, opened in 1895 and currently contains
Although Leavenworth can hold a much larger number, Aum said, the bureau does not want to build new prisons for more than 500 inmates.
Richard Seiter, executive assistant to the warden at Leavenworth, said options for use of the pentagonal included closing the prison or turning it over to the Government Services Administration. Another option was to keep the prison open and remodel the main facility for use as a lower-level security institution.
Bill would end medical grants
TOPEKA-A a bill designed to end the state's medical student scholarship program was introduced in the Kansas Senate yesterday.
Under the current program approved last session, medical students can receive free tuition to the University of Kansas Medical Center if they agree to it.
The bill was submitted by the Committee on Public Health and Welfare.
Sponsors of the bill content the money could be better spent by attracting doctors, rather than giving students free educations.
Carter proposes draft system
WASHINGTON—President Carter is asking Congress for $3 million to beef up a standard draft system to meet the Pentagon's "worst case" requirement for pre-pandemic defense.
But White House officials said Carter's request was only a first step and not Carter's final decision on new efforts to restrict the draft registration.
The push to rework the draft system comes amid studies that show the present system could not turn out enough soldiers quickly in the event of a European war.
Senate Armed Services Chairman John C. Stennis, D-Miss., said the only answer was to bring back the draft because the all-village force could not be prepared for a war without it.
Another option would be to draft people into the military reserves and create a trained force to send into a sudden war.
General saus SALT needed
WASHINGTON-Retired Army LL Gen. George Siegmann told senators yesterday that failure to radiate an arms limitation agreement with the Soviet Union was unacceptable.
Siegmann said if he were confirmed as director of the U.S. Arms Control and Armament Agency, he would have an opportunity to arrest and control put
If the Senate fails to ratify a SALT II treaty, Siegmund said, the nation can expect a steady unraveling of the nuclear balance with the Soviet Union.
Groundwater bill considered
TOPEKA-The future of the proposed Sunflower generating plant in south-west Kansas may rent with a bill currently under consideration by the Senate.
The bill would prohibit the use of western Kansas ground water for cooling the plant.
Sen. Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, fired heated questions at John Dunn, an economist testifying for the plant, Berman's questions concerned the price and availability of power from the Jeffrey Energy Center west of Topeka and the proposed Wolf Creek nuclear generating plant near Burlington.
Dunn told the committee that, while energy would be available from time to time from the Jeffrey plant, and some would be available from Wolf Creek, both would require a 200-mile transmission line to move the power to western Kansas. The transmission line would cost at least $45 million, he said.
Gulf expects less Iranian oil
Gulf President James E. Lee predicted oil workers' strikes and political instability would continue in Iran.
ST. LOUIS - The had of Gulf Oil Corporation said yesterday that the outlook was bleak for a ram return of crude oil exports from Iran.
"The oil situation there is at a standstill," Lee said. "We're exporting no oil out of Iran now. They're only producing enough for internal use."
Mass. flood forces evacuation
and had been Gulf's second largest foreign supplier of crude, producing 300,000 barrels of oil a day in 1977. Gulf's largest foreign source is Kuwait.
BOSTON—Record rains, gales and high tides caused floods in Massachusetts that sent hundreds of people fleeing their homes in the coastal communities of New York and Pennsylvania.
At Grafton, Mass., part of a 60-foot high earthen dam on the Blackstone River gave way, forcing the evacuation of about 300 families in an area as far as five miles.
About 200 people were evacuated by boat in Revere, and water was hubcaphigh in Sittuce on the South Shore at noon.
Committee hears tax indexes
TOPEKA-A two approaches to indexing on state income tax brackets were heard by the House Assessment and Taxation Committee yesterday.
Indexing is a term used to describe adjustments made in tax brackets or exemptions to correspond with inflation.
Under indexing, if the consumer price index went up 7 percent, the initial tax basket, which covers taxable income up to $2,000, would be adjusted upward by
Rep. James Lowther, R-Emporia, presented a similar bill which would adjust the personal income tax exemption at $750 to keep space with inflation.
The National Transportation Safety Board, as a result of its investigations of the Whippoorwill incident and the capsizing of a fiskish boat in Chesapeake Bay, recommended new safety measures for charter boats and other small passenger vessels.
WASHINGTON - A federal safety board ruled yesterday that the showbowl Whippoorwoll, which capsized on Pomona Lake near Topeka last year and drowned 15 people, was so unstable it could have been turned over by even a relatively mild gust.

Board rules showboat unstable
The Whippoorwill overturned just 30 yards from shore June 17, 1978 shortly after casting off its landing on Poroma Lake with 60 people aboard. The death toll, the
The safety board determined that the probable cause of the Whippwor will accident, was "reduced stability as a result of an accumulation of water within the vessel's integral hull tanks, the vessel's inadequate design stability, its operation during adverse conditions and the future of the operator to obtain the current weather forecast."

board said, was held to 15 because small boats quickly rescued 45 people from the island.
A waterpour from a severe thunderstorm passed close to the Whippoorwel, and in a few minutes the storm came crashing.

winds of about 57 mph against the 16-foot-
high structure of the showboat.
Had the boat meet Coast Guard stability requirements, which apply to vessels on navigable inland waterways, and had her tanks been dry, the Whippoorwill could have withstood winds of up to 62 mph without canizing. the report said.
Investigators also found that the National Weather Service had issued a severe storm watch for the area 10 minutes before the Whippoorwill left her berth, but the operator of the boat did not know this because he used a sound recast. The board termed this "imprudent."
THE BOARD recommended that the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators amend its model state boating act to require that small commercial passenger vessels operating only on open water meet Coast Guard stability standards.
The board also recommended that special weather broadcast receivers should be required on such vessels, and that their skippers should be required to seek the nearest safe harbor whenever forecast winds would exceed the theoretical wind speed used in certifying their vessel's stability.
Earlier, the board had recommended that the Federal Communications Commission require a radio-telephone or extension phone at each charter boat steering station.
Local counties added to nuke warning list
TOPEKA (AP)- The state Department of Emergency Preparedness has more than doubled the number of counties that must draft emergency action plans in case of an accident at the Wolf Creek generating plant when it becomes operational.
Douglas and Shawnee counties are included in the counties that must be prepared for a countywide effort.
The decision to increase the number of counties from eight to 18 came as a result of a reassessment by a task force of the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
A IN COPYRIGHTED story broadcast yesterday station KTSB of Topeka said it learned of the change of plans from Leon McNamara to the minister with the state adjutant's office.
When construction started on the Wolf Creek plant near Burlington in Coffey County, the state drafted an emergency action plan. The plan dictated that eight counties prepare to alert the public and to tell people what to do in the event of an accident that released radioactive material into the air.
Those counties were Coffey, Osage,
Franklin, Anderson, Allen, Woodson,
Gregory.
NOW, AT THE suggestion of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the state plan is being expanded to include 10 more counties. Besides Douglas and Shawnee, counties included in the new list are Miami, Lani, Wilson, List, Waukee, Chase, Wabausee and Morris.
Because Kansas has a prevailing southerly wind, Topeka would be directly in the path of any radioactivity released during an accident at the Wolf Creek plant.
of residents to avoid radiation contamination.
Mannell said reaction plans in Coffey County would involve the swift evacuation

The next step would be to require evacuation or a take-shelter notice to counties in the path of the radioactivity, depending upon severity of the accident.
OTHER COUNTIES not immediately threatened to provide to provide assistance, Mannel said.

Under the plan, state officials would first notify law enforcement agencies in affected counties. They would then notify radio and other agencies with information for alerting the public.
Then information would be disseminated about any quarantines imposed and warnings would be given about possible food contamination.
While the expanded emergency planning is now only a recommendation by the commission, Kansas officials are assuming it will be made permanent. So they are having county Civil Defense officials prepare local plans.
Man killed in accident
EL DORADO, Kan. (UPI) - A 51-year-old man was killed in an industrial accident yesterday at the Getty Oil Co. Refinery, the first fatal accident at the plant this month.
Curt A. Clanton died after being crushed between a crane and a pipe support, a Getty Co. official said. The official said Clanton and another man were directing the movement of a crane when the accident occurred. The other man was uninjured.
