Amendment would limit terms
WASHINGTON—Sen. Nancy Kassaeb, R-Kan., making her first Senate speech, called yesterday for a constitutional amendment limiting the terms of office of the Speaker.
Kassebaum said such limits would result in a Congress responsive to the needs of constituents, but mindful of the overall welfare of the nation.
"The professional politician, with his eye on the next election, quite naturally seeks to temperize or completely avoid potentially controversial issues," she said. "He finds it desirable to ignore the complexity of our times and the interdependence of issues."
Kussebum said adoption of her idea would bring a continuous stream of new political talent and leadership to Congress and would encourage more
"Members of Congress will be looked upon as local citizens on temporary leave from their responsibilities at home, not as permanent fixtures in the city."
Leavenworth prison to close
LEAVENWORTH—Because the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth is old and too large, it will be placed over by 1987, according to Richard Setter, a senior lawyer at Leavenworth.
Plans by the Bureau of Prisons call for the closing because the prison is not in line with the current philosophy of prison architects. Seetar said. The largest inmate recidivism has occurred during the last decade.
Leavenworth's prison population is 1,689, down 21 percent from a year ago when it was 2,300. There is no planned reduction at Leavenworth currently,
Seiter said one reason for a lower population in Leavenworth was a new plan by the bureau which allowed more inmates to go to medium security prisons.
Pipeline bill reaches House
TOPEKA—A measure to give coal slurry pipeline companies a limited right to condemn property reached the House as a bill yesterday.
The measure, one of the most intensely lobbied subjects to come before the Kansas Leisure Institute, was sponsored by 24 House members.
As the bill was written, coal slurry pipeline companies would have the right to condemn the property of public or private corporations or associations. These groups in turn are empowered by law to exercise the power of eminent domain and own land or rights of way under which a coal slurry pipeline must pass.
Coal slurry is a mixture of pulverized coal and water
Slurry is a mixture of coal and water.
The bill carries a provision that coal slurry pipeline companies would not be allowed to use Kansas water. Another provision would subject the firms to a new law.
Railroads have lobbied against legislation that would allow coal slurry pipelines to censure rights of way under their lines and contend this would be unfair to workers.
Wuo. proposes 65 mph limit
CHEVENNE, Wyo. — The Wyoming Senate approved yesterday a bill to raise the speed limit in the state to 65 mph and an inspired Oklahoma lawmaker said that "it is one of the least restrictive laws."
Wyoming, the second smallest state in population but the largest in highway deaths per miles traveled, could lose $2 million in federal highway money that would have been spent on other things.
Wyoming backers of the 65 mph bill promise a court fight if the money is lost. "It's time to tell the feds where to go," was the rallying cry as the bill made it through the Senate. It now goes to the Wyoming House, where party leaders appear divided on the question.
In a similar development, an Oklahoma state representative, who said he was encouraged by the Wyoming Senate's action, is planning to introduce a bill that would give the governor the power to veto legislation.
State Rep. Townsend, a Shawnee, Okla., democrat, said yesterday that he did not think the federal government could take away Oklahoma's highway
Oklahoma could lose $72 million in federal highway funds if it did not comply with the 55 mph limit, according to the Oklahoma Transportation Commission.
Temple child pauments studied
WASHINGTON—A congressional panel announced yesterday it was investigating whether as many as 150 foster care children were placed in foster care without parental consent.
The General Accounting Office is examining county foster care records in California and the list of the dead from Jonestown. According to San Alan Rodriguez, the agency will soon release the records.
"If names turn up on both lists," Cranton said, "it means the Rev. Jim Jones may have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in government child welfare."
Cranston, chairman of the Senate Human Resources subcommittee, disclosed the GAO inquiry at the outset of his committee's hearings on child abuse.
Prices take 9% jump in '78
WASHINGTON - Consumer prices rose 9 percent in 1078, the second largest leap in 20 years, according to a report released yesterday by the Labor Department.
The department also reported that a typical American wage carrier fell behind in the race to keep up with inflation in 1978, as workers' real buying power increased.
Food prices were up 11.6 percent in 1978, housing costs 9.9 percent and medical care 8.8 percent. The year's biggest bargain was clothing, which rose 5.2 percent.
Excluding 1974, the last time consumer prices rose as much as 9 percent in a year was 1947. Price rises 8.6 percent in 1977, but wage earners increased their
According to the government's report, the Consumer Price Index ended 1978 at 202.5, meaning that a group of products costing $100 in the base year of 1967
Mayors displeased by budget
The group, representing mayors of about 800 of the nation's largest cities, said the budget abandoned committees Carter made less than a year ago to
WASHINGTON——The U.S. Conference of Mayors said yesterday that it was disappointed by the amount of money President Carter's 1980 budget would give to his administration.
A 40-page report on Carter's budget recommendations said the budget imposes the burden of the fight against inflation on the cities, the poor, the elderly and other vulnerable groups.
Carlin criticized by Bennett
PRAIKE VILAGE--Former Gov. Robert F. Bennett said yesterday that he was surprised that Gov. John Carlin did not carry with some of the people he had been traveling to.
Although Bennett said he had not studied Carlin's legislative proposals in detail, he was a little surprised that the new governor did not recommend his plan.
However, Bennett said he was sympathetic with Carlin's position because candidates sometimes did not know all the facts.
"I've always been of the opinion that you don't make promises--you can't make commitments--unless you have a good, clear indication that you can proceed to accomplish them." Bennett said. "And, as a consequence, if you tell someone that you're going through with them, even when others thought we should have abandoned them."
Weather ...
According to the National Weather Service, skies will become increasingly cloudy today, with the high temperature in the mid 20s. The low tonight will be 10 degrees. There is a 60 percent chance of snow developing tonight and continuing into Friday. Winds will be from the southeast at 10 to 15 miles an hour.
The extended forecast calls for a chance of snow on Saturday and Sunday, with lows in the teens.
Khomeini postpones return for 3 weeks
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Self-elicited religious leader Ayatullah Ruhullah Khomini has agreed to delay his return to Iran for three weeks at the request of Prime Minister Shaipur Baktiar, a government source said today.
Khomeini had planned to end his 14-year exile and return to Tehran from Paris tomorrow to begin efforts to replace the government. He was born in a republic, his aides in France said yesterday.
THE GOVERNMENT source, who asked not to be identified, said the need for special security for Khomeini's arrival and protection in Iran led Bakhtiar to suggest that he delay his arrival for at least three weeks.
The source said several million Iranians could be expected to greet Khowni, who led the uprising that drove the shah from the country, upon his arrival in Tehran.
"The crowd alone would have been too dangerous and too difficult to handle," he said.
IT WAS EARLY morning in Paris when the delay became known and there was no immediate comment from Khomeini or his aides.
Earlier yesterday, Gen. Medhi Rhimi, the military governor of Tehran, made no mention of Khomeini in an announcement that all of the nation's airports were being closed, according to a Tehran Radio broadcast monitored in London.

Connally seeks GOP vote for presidency
WASHINGTON (AP)—Former Texas Gov. John B. Connally entered the race for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination yesterday on a platform emphasizing budget cutting, free enterprise and a strong defense.
Connally declared his candidacy in a speech at the National Press Club, and said he would enter every primary his campaign funds permit.
There will be about 35 presidential or primaries next year.
Saying he has "no apologies to make for having served in the Nixon administration," Commonly said he had faith the American president was "ready to conduct in his Watergate-related bribery trial."
Connally endorsed amending the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget except in time of emergency. He also authorizes Congress to limit presidents to a single six-year term.
Connally is the fourth candidate to enter the GOP race. The others are Rep. Philip Crane of Illinois; Benjamin Fernandez, an Angeles businessman, and Harold Stassen.
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi closed the Tehran airport yesterday and prevented Iran air, the national airline, from sending its planes to the country. Mr. Ruhland later ordered the airport resorted.
RHIMI SAID the airport had been closed because "opportunism" planned to disrupt operations at the facility. He apparently was referring to Kohmeini supporters who had planned to give the Iran Air Boeing 747 a lift, then it departed to pick up the Muslim leader.
Thousands of pro-Khomeini demonstrators drove to the airport yesterday morning in hopes of seeing the Iran Air jet take off. But they found troops and British Cheif Cheioun tanks blocking the airport, which were dispersed by armed soldiers.
IRAN AIR crews, who had broken their month-long strike to fly Khooneini's plane, accused government agents of sabotaging the 747 as well as backup aircraft, both of which had been disabled by removal of the turbines and fuel pressure transmitters.
In Tehran, demonstrations erupted for and against the Bakhitian government. Hundreds of pro-Khmenei demonstrators rallied on Friday in Kashmir, stones at each other near the U.S. Embassy.
Meanwhile, Bakhlari he sent a sendal envoy to Khomeini to try to reach a reconciliation with the man who led the years-long result that forced the shah to
