But anti-inflation chief Alfred Kahn suggested that Meany did not speak for all organized labor. Kahn said he was confident that union leaders as well as rank-and-file members would cooperate once the administration proved the program's fairness.
Redevelopment statute voided
TOPEKA-A Shawnee County District Judge has ruled unconstitutional a Kansas law allowing tax increment financing for redevelopment of downtown
Judge William Carpenter vowed the law, which allowed cities to condemn land on behalf of private developers for urban renewal projects, because it violated a section of the state constitution which prohibits the use of tax revenues for anything other than their original purpose.

Attorney General Carl Schneider had challenged the urban renewal statute in a suit against the city of Topeka, which planned to issue $8 million in special tax relief.
Work starts on aas pricing
WASHINGTON—Federal energy officials, abandoning normal procedures in the interest of speed, started work yesterday on new natural gas pricing rules expected to take effect Dec. 1. The rules will lead to a rapid rise in rates across the nation.
President Jimmy Carter is expected to sign the recently passed energy bill soon. Under its provisions, new gas pricing rules must take effect on the first day of the month after the bill is signed. If all goes as planned, Charles Curtis, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said, that date will
As soon as the bill takes effect, the government will start removing the lid that has been 'ownprawned' to countries with up-to-date controls. It will be eliminated by 1985 for countries that have been in contact with the UN.
written public comment, submitted with 14 copies, will be allowed throughout the drafting period, Curtis said. He said the FERC planned to open a toll-free nationwide telephone number—(800) 424-5200—to handle technical questions about the new policy.
2 citations issued by OSHA
WICHTIA—The Occupational Safety and Health Administration yesterday announced it had issued citations and recommended fines for two contractors working in southeast Kansas, where two employees died in separate accidents. One citation was issued to Farthing and Weidman Inc., for an accident near Riverton. An aluminum tank at the site was properly secured to a chain sling. The chain broke and the tank fell on Karry W. Davenport, 19, of Carl Junction, Mo., on Oct. 19. The firm was under contract to a Gulf Oil chemical plant.
The second citation was issued to Heckert Construction Co. of Pittsburgh. On Oct. 26, Terry Burton, 23, of Baxter Springs, died when a drench for a new sewer line collapsed and buried him at a construction site in southeast Pittsburgh. Heckert was under contract to the city of Pittsburgh.
Kiebert was thanked to the city of Annapolis.
Proposed fines were $240 for Farthing and Weidman and $320 for Heckert.
Alleated bank scheme studied
WASHINGTON—The government is investigating charges that lending banks in the United States conspired to drive down the value of the U.S. dollar on foreign money markets to reap windfall profits, it was disclosed yesterday.
for examinations. The Justice Department official said the investigation began about two months ago. The official said that if the allegations were accurate, the boxes could be removed from the building and rebuilt.
Justice Department sources said a number of major American banks were involved in the investigations, but the sources declined to name them.
Student editor faces dismissal
HOUSTON—The University of Houston newspaper editor has been threatened with dismissal from her job because she published a photograph of a woman who died from a stroke.
The Daily Cougar editor, Lori Koreksi, 22, said she saw nothing wrong in publishing the picture. But publications managers Wayne Scott objected, saying the photograph left little for the imagination. Scott said he wanted the university publications committee to censure or fire Koreksi.
Tuesday's issue of the Cougar had a full page of letters condemning last week's publication of the photograph.
Alleaations flu in Senate race
Hasmon referred to an allegation by Paul Pendergast, Roy's campaign director, who said Kassebaum had ignored her pledge not to accept more than $1,000 from a person or group. Pendergast cited five organizations that had contributed $2,000 each to her campaign.
WICHTIA-TA—the campaign manager of Republican senatorial candidate Nancy Kassbeaum, David Bushhog, yesterday accused his counterpart in the campaign of Democrat Bill Roy of an outrageous misstatement of facts concerning Kassbeaum's campaign contributions.
He also responded to an allegation by Pendergast that Kassaeum's acceptance of nearly $65,000 in contributions from oil and gas interests would be contrary to his own financial interests.
However, Bushong said the $2,000 represented two $1,000 contributions, one for the August primary election and one for the November general election.
"It's preposterous for him to make such an allegation, when his candidate has received more than $80,000 from a single special interest—labor," Bushong

Iranian government to free political prisoners Dec.10
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—In an apparent move to curb strikes and stern the tide of anti-government riots, Justice Minister Hussein Najafi announced yesterday that all political prisoners in Iran would be freed Dec. 10.
Meanwhile, a strike by 37,000 oil refinery workers cut Iran's huge oil export flow by more than half, even though employees of the National Iranian Oil Co. began returning to their jobs. The oil workers' demands for job security and freedom for political prisoners.
NAJAFI SAID all political prisoners would be released on Dec. 10, the day the United Nations celebrates human rights. He said that a law that appeared that persons jailed for inciting public unrest in the nationwide demonstrations that have killed 1,100 people since January willed their freedom, but not the victims of violent, politically motivated crimes.
The announcement that the government would free the prisoners came as reports
peered into the capital of new strikes and violent demonstrations across the country.
Iran is America's second biggest oil supplier, surpassed only by Saudi Arabia.

PLAIN TALK FROM ARMCO ON FINDING A JOB:
Environmentalism—will it muddy the job pool?
Some people think America will have to spend a trillion dollars by the mid-1980s on more pollution control. Could that change if getting a job you want? We hope not—but it is a possibility.
America simply doesn't have a trillion dollars to spare.
Saving so vast an amount from other uses will disrupt the economy.
Adding costly environmental equipment doesn't increase industrial production. So once the equipment is in place, the handful of new jobs created for pollution control is more than offset by production jobs that don't appear. Spending large sums on unnecessary extra pollution control means companies can't spend that money on some
We're going to need another 17,000,000 jobs in this country by 1985. These days the average jobs costs $45,300 to create. So a trillion dollars is more than the total current cost of creating 17,000,000 jobs.
Even if we had a trillion dollars, America couldn't satisfy its most extreme environmental demands. It would have to expand the important areas of the country out of any new industrial development. And water quality standards being applied to all bodies of water, no matter where they are, will even population growth in many parts of the U.S.
We all want clean air and water. We've been sensitized to pollution's dangers for years. But the fact is: America's air and water have been getting cleaner lately. We obviously still got a lot to do. As but we do it, we need to study carefully the costs and benefits, to keep environment from tying America up in knots.
Plain talk about POLLUTION CONTROL.
So far, Armco has spent $260,000,000 for pollution control systems. Running that equipment costs us another $50,000,000 or more a year. We've slashed our air emissions 95% and are a leader in water improvement. But now we've披ed the point of diminishing returns. Cutting into that final 5% costs more—and wastes more electrical energy—it than to stop the entire 95%. Whats worse, we need more emissions further often creates more pollution at power plants than we remove. As a nation, we need to balance environmentalist demands against their consequences.
Next time somebody says American industry ought to start cleaning up its act, you might like to point out that the cleanup is well on its way. The more extra tasks pile on the fewer new jobs there may be.
