Dole to run for presidency
KWENEAN, II.—Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said last night he would be a presidential candidate in 1980.
Lote, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 1978, was in Kewenite to speak at the annual dinner of the Henry County Republicans. He confirmed his candidacy.
In the past Dole had hinted that he may enter the presidential race. Last night apparently was the first time he gave a direct answer to the question of whether he would be president.
He said he also expected former President Gerald Ford and former California Gov. Ronald Reagan to seek the Republican nomination in 1980.

2 U.S. phusicists win Nobel
STOCKHOLM, Sweden-Two Americans whose work with microwave radiation supported the "big bang" theory of the creation of the universe shared the Nobel Prize in physics yesterday with a Russian scientist. The prize for chemistry was awarded to a Briton.
Arno A. Penzias, 45, and Robert W. Wilson, 42, both of the Bell Telephone Laboratories of New Jersey, shared the $165,000 physics prize with Pyrot Leontevitch Kapita of Moscow, Kapita84, 84, was honored for his work in low-temperature physics.
Penzias and Wilson discovered cosmic microwave background radiation, which added support to the theory that the universe was created by a cosmic origin.
The chemistry prize, also $165,000, went to Peter Mitchell, 58, for his work in bioenergy, which concerns the chemical process responsible for the energy production.
Six of the nine men named to receive or share in Nobel prizes this year are Americans. The Nobel Peace Prize has not yet been announced.
Black leader praises Carter
NASHVILLE, Teem.—President Jimmy Carter's responsiveness to the needs of black people has increased during the past year, the president of the National Association of Black Teachers.
Vernon Jordan, League president, said, "I think there has been a sincerely and more concerted effort toward solving the problems of black people put forth by us."
Last year Jordan sharply criticized Carter's proposals for the welfare program, when he said the president had neglected the needs of the nation's urban poor. On but Monday Jordan said he saw signs of that Carter was more responsive to problems affecting blacks.

Research to foil woodpeckers
SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Southwest Research Institute scientists are working to delete utility nodes from wooddeckers' menus.
The study is being conducted for six rural electric cooperatives covering 59 counties in south central Texas.
The institute would like to develop chemically treated poles that would put a bad taste in the woodpeckers' months. The Researchers call the procedure "Anaesthetic."
According to utility company statistics, woodpeckers cheek up millions of dollars worth of poles each year. But because federal law prohibits impinging on utility lines, woodpeckers must go unnoticed.
A project manager said the chemicals would be tested by observing reactions to golden-fronted woodpeckers sampling sections of wooden utility poles which were then used as samples for testing.
In addition, he said, such steps as wrapping poles with heavy wire mesh and applying materials to make the poles too smooth for a bird to cling to would be

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter stepped into the Middle East peace talks yesterday, meeting separately at the United Nations to address the cards of the Israeli and Euvoyian delegations.
Carter participates in peace talks
and that the atmosphere of the talks was "very good." As has been the practice in recent days, Sherman refused to discuss the details of the negotiations aimed at uniting an Egyptian peace treaty from the Mideast produced by the Camp David summit.
Administration officials denied that Carter intervened in an effort to overcome an impass in the talks, although the pattern of separate meetings was the same as the president used at Camp David to try to bridge impasses there.
"There is no particular hurdle. The president will review the status of the talks, the progress that has been made, and the plan for the future," she said. Sherman, a State Department press officer who has been acting as official spokesman for the talks, told me during the talks that began here last Thursday.
SHERMAN SAID progress had continued.
Sherman said that Egypt's acting foreign minister, Boutid Gholi, had a three-hour dinner Monday night with Israel Foreign Minister Abu Qassim, two countries' defense ministers, Kannan Haamu, all of Egypt and Ezer Weizman of Israel, and neatly brief in the evening.
Speaking privately, however, administration sources said they could not get into the current round of talks would end. These sources had voiced optimism Monday about the agreement.
But, Sherman said, those were the last high-level meetings between the two delegations. The meetings at Blair House Tuesday morning were between the Americans and Egyptians and the Americans and Israelis.
AT CAMP DAVID, there was a similar pattern. After initially bringing the two sides together, Carter and the American delegation found that the best way to solve problems was to deal with each country separately, acting as an intermediary.
Sherman refused to discuss the nature of the issues that remain unresolved, but he hinted at what they might be when he refused to say whether progress has been made on what he has called the "side talks" at Blair House.
sensitive and intractable issues of the West Bank, including Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the Palestinian nation, are among those issues as away more difficult to solve than the issues strictly between Israel and Egypt, most of which were resolved at peace.
The so-called "side talks" involve the
Since Camp David, Egyptian leaders have indicated that they might insist on some progress on the West Bank and Gaza issues before they sign the treaty with Israel.
The two aspects of the Middle East problem were handled in separate frameworks at Camp David. President Carter's position has been that while the two groups are linked, a connection exists, if only in the minds of the Camp David participants.
Pope promises ministry of love
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope John Paul II promised yesterday that a "ministry of love" would make his reign as the 284th pontiff of the Catholic Catholic Church.
The former Cardinal Karol Woltya of Krakow, Poland, also took a trip outside Budapest to attend the world's 700 million Catholics—to visit a "very dear friend" who had suffered a stroke.
He visited Polish Bishop Andre-Marie Deskur, 54, head of the Pontifical Commission for Social Communication. Deskur was an accomplished preacher at the Vatican Friday after suffering a heart attack. Thousands of people, alerted by a radio announcement that he would make the trip, lined the streets to cheer the pope, waved and smiled as he drove in his open car.

Meanwhile, Vatican officials announced that John Paul II would preside at a Mass at his installation on Sunday. The announcement made no mention of a visit by Pope Benedict XVI to the pattern of John Paul I, who refused to be crowned the temporal ruler of the church.

FROM WARSÄW Polish Communitist leader Edward Gierek sent a message to the pope, saying his election filled Poland with great satisfaction and that he was convinced that further development of relations between them and the Apostolic See would come about.
A Polish government spokesman, Kazimierz Kakol, said passport restrictions would be eased to allow a large number of Poles to travel to Rome for the installation. The government would be granted. Poles normally have to wait four to five weeks to obtain a travel visa.

Woityla hoped to be actor
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Author James Michener says Pope John Paul II told him recently that as a young man he had planned a stage career.
Michener recalled an interview with then Cardinal Karol Wojtyla in July for a documentary about religion in Communist Poland, and she spent next month on public television stations.
"He smiled and said to me, 'Now if this goes well, I will expect a call from
Hollywood," and we all laughed robustly at that, Michener said. "And then he took me by the arm and said, 'You know Michener, I went to be a boyfriend to your young man. I went to be an actor.'"
The author said of the new pope, "He laughs a lot. He loves humorous stories. We have met a number of times and each time he displayed this delightful sense of humor. He speaks English well, not rapidly, but distinctly. He is well versed."

IN HIS first palatal sermon, the 58-year-old pontiff warned that the general criteria of loyalty to the Vatican Council must not affect loyalty to the basic doctrinal truths of the church. This was perhaps an indication that he would pursue a conservative stance on the issue of papal ban on artificial contraception, the ordination of women and the marriage of priests.
The pope supported the contraception ban put forth in Pope Paul VFIS 1986 encyclical Humanae Vitae when he was archbishop of Krakow.

The election of Wotlya as successor to Pope John Paul I broke the 4% century hold on Poland and the vote was a prelude from Poland, where more than 90 percent of its 35 million residents are Catholic, appeared to point out the vitality of the church in an eruption when religious faith was threatened.
CARDINAL FRANZ Koenig of Vienna
said the Polish prelate had been favored in the voting by the Italian cardinals while the "foreigners" leaned toward maintaining the Italian line.
Koenig, one of the Vatican's troubleshooters in relations with communist governments, called the new pontiff the right man in the right place and said he believed he would continue the dialogue with communist regimes in his own way.
In his address, the pontiff said the church had "no intention of political interference, nor participation in the working of temporal affairs."
HE SAID, "We would like to reach out our hands and open our hearts in this moment, to all people and to those who are oppressed by the forces of injustice whether it has to do with economy, life in society, political life or the freedom of conscience and just religious freedom. We must reach out with all means to them, that they may be freed from the rest in our times be rejected by public opinion
"We wish our ministry to be a ministry of love, we wish it to be so in its every exertion."
The address was televised live in Poland. John Paul saluted his fellow countrymen as well.
