U.S. holds up Israeli aid pact
WASHINGTON - The Carter administration is withholding a letter that promises American aid to build two new Israeli air bases until the issue of Israel's commitment to halt settlements on the West Bank is decided, officials said yesterday.
The officials said the delay in releasing the air-base aid agreement was not an effort to pressure Israel into accepting the U.S. view of agreements reached during the Camp David summit meeting.
and the U.S. amp David summit threatens the U.S. position is that Israel agreed that new settlements on the West Bank of Israel are prohibited for five years. Israel Prime Minister Menachem Begin says his recollection is that the settlement freeze was to last only three months.
Turkey arms embargo ended
WASHINGTON - President Carter yesterday formally ended a 3-year-old embargo on arms shipments to Turkey.
embarrass on arms shipwreck. Carter did so by bringing a formal finding that Turkey was acting in "good faith" and peaceful settlement of the Cyprus problem."
The White House made public a Carter memo to Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance that was a prerequisite to renewed arm shipments.
Carter also signed into law a $2.8 billion foreign military aid authorization that empowered him to lift the Turkish arm embargo if he decided, Turkey
Congress had to permit a lifting of the embargo last August.
Congress imposed a total embargo on arms sales to Turkey in 1975 for Turkey's use of U.S. supplied arms in a 1974 invasion of Cyprus.
House backs new dollar coin
WASHINGTON—The House gave final congressional approval yesterday to the introduction of a new small dollar coin bearing the likeness of pioneer suffragette Susan B. Anthony.
The new coin, which would be a little bigger than a quarter, could be in circulation by mid-1910. The Treasury Department and 500 million of the coins
could fill the bill will continue to be produced, but the Treasury Department,
hopes many will be replaced by the Anthony dollar.
FAA bans Piper Tomahawk
WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration has suspended the certificate of airworthiness of single-engine Piper Tomahawk aircraft.
The suspension, which took place over the weekend, means the two-seat trainer may not be flown legally.
Officials said they took the action because of the high incidence of failure of the magneto, a device that generates the electricity to produce a spark for ignition of the plane's engine.
Argentina-Chile flap heats up
SANTIAGO, Chile—A century-old dispute between Argentina and Chile over ownership of three tiny islands off the tip of South America has heated up to the point that many on both sides fear war.
many in both the countries bordering countries recently held a round of talks here, working against a backdrop of rumored troop clashes, an accidental incursion by Argentine soldiers two weeks ago, a sharp decline in bilateral trade and explication of many Chileans working in Argentina.
expulsion of many Chelseas working in the Mediterranean. The islands of Picton, Lennox and Nueva, south of Terra del Fuego, have been held by Chile since the last century. Argentina has claimed them almost as long.
The nations are more concerned about the surrounding ocean than the islands because there are unconfirmed reports of petroleum resources.
Medicare deductible to rise
WASHINGTON—A $16 increase in the hospital fees Medicare recipients will have to pay before the federal health program will begin picking up their hospital costs was disclosed yesterday at a special White House meeting.
hospital class was increased to 100 in 2015. The increase in the Medicare deduction, from $144 to $160, is a direct result of raising health care costs, and Sake Champion, undersecretary of the Department of Health, said.
Disclosure of the new figure, which will go into effect Jan. 1, came during a meeting designed to gain support for legislation to slow inflation in the hospital industry.
Judge restrains rail picketing
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal judge in Kansas City, Kan., yesterday issued a restraining order prohibiting picketing of the Missouri-Texas Texas Railroad Co., one of numerous rail lines across the nation hit by an expanded rail clerks strike.
Judge Earl O'Conner issued the restraining order against the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks, which has been on strike against the Norfolk & Western Railway Co. for two months. The strike has spread to other lines across the nation, hailing most Amtrak service and slowing or stopping freight service.
The federal action came as farm officials expressed concern that a rail strike could halt grain shipments from the upcoming fall harvest, and that a lengthy strike could also halt shipment of auto parts and possibly close down a General Motors plant in Kansas City.
Alaska court allows cameras
ANCHORAGE, Alaska. The longstanding ban against cameras in courtrooms may end at least in Alaska, where newspaper photographs were released in 2015.
The decision is an experiment by the Alaska Supreme Court to judge the effect of available-light news photography on judicial proceedings.
Last week, television cameras were permitted to tape a Supreme Court hearing for broadcast at a later time. One of the universal arguments against cameras in courtrooms is that witnesses might be inhibited while testifying if they know pictures are being taken.
Sentencing set for firefighters
WICHTA-J - Judge David P. Calvert will impose sentences today on 233 city firefighters who ignored his back-to-work order during a strike that ended last week.
The firefighters fled an admission in Sedgwick County District Court yesterday that they were in contour of court during their 10-day walkout.
Fourteen other firefighters chose to be disciplined by Fire Chief Floyd Hobbs, who said he would wait to see what action Calvert took.

SAN DIEGO (AP)—A second small plane may have confused the pilot of a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner that collided with a single-engine Cessna, killing at least 150 persons, a federal safety expert said yesterday.
Confusion possibly caused crash
Phillip Hogue, overseeing a National Transportation Safety Board investigation of the worst air crash in U.S. history, said the jettier and a twin-engine Cessna had been cleared for landing on the same runway at Lindbergh Field.
Hogue said the PSA pilot had acknowledged an air traffic control warning of another plane near the 727, but might not have received a notification. That collided with the crowded jetway.
but we're unsure what plane he was
that the PSA pilot probably was
confused.
HOGUE SAID cockpit and traffic control howe tape recordings could have meant the PSA pilot, a 17-year aviation veteran, was shot down by the Nassau but did not see the single-engine plane.
"Listening to the tower tape recording, it's apparent that the twin-engine plan was making its approach." Hogue said. "They were working on the plane engine one. The pilot said, 'They passed,'
He added that investigators could not determine whether the pilot of the single-engine机险 that crashed had talked with the pilot at Lindbergh shortly before the collision.
the same investigators were trying to find out who was the pilot of the twin-engine aircraft that crashed.
"There was no transmission from the single-engine Cessna that I'm aware of."
Also yesterday, it was disclaimed that the SAFA wing was being directed by the Lindbeck team.

INVESTIGATORS SAID they were still unsure where the Cessna 172 had struck the jeliner. There had been some reports of crashes on the runway and a stuck head-on. But accounts from other witnesses and photographs appear to show that a smaller plane struck the jelner's right wing.
The pilot of the Cessna 172, David Boswell, had an advanced pilot's rating but was practicing instrument approaches with an aircraft at the time of the crash, authorities said.
In Washington, the chairman of a house panel that coincidentally began hearings yesterday into airline safety said the "perhaps could have been avoided."

While federal investigators listened to tapes from the cockpit of the downed jetliner, rescue workers faced the grim job of searching for scattered remains of the plane.
Troops from a nearby Marine base troops the smoldering neighborhood Monday night to prevent further looting. Police are attempting to termite to loot bodies and burning houses.
While Gladys Bonatus recalled watching flaming wreckage fall less than 100 feet from her home, a deputy coroner interrupted her.
Senate to vote on gas bill
"Ma'am, I hate to put it this way, but are there any bodies in your house?" he asked.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The natural gas legislation sought by the Carter administration yesterday survived another attempt by the Senate to scuttle it, all but assuring its passage when a final vote is taken today.
Marie Dietz was sitting near a window when she heard the crash, looked out and saw a wing from the jet fall less than 100 yards away.
Rep. John L, Burton, D-Calf, made the statement in opening hearing by a hearing committee.
By a 55-36 vote, the Senate rejected a second move by opponents to return the gas price decontrol bill to committee for drafting.
A week ago, a similar motion was rejected by a 59-39 vote.
Opponents now are conceding that the measure, which would lift federal price controls from most natural gas by 1885, will be approved by a comfortable margin.
month-old energy program passed
previously by each chamber.
"WEVE BEEN touching balls, but all the bases have been empty," said Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, who offered the recommittal motion yesterday.
Although it is a far cry from Carter's original proposal, the president backed the compromise as the best that could be negotiated. The White House waged a forceful lobbying campaign for the measure.
"I can't see too well so I just sat there petrified," the woman recalled.
The bill is a compromise between separate versions of President Carter's 17-
CONGRESSIONAL ECONOMISTS estimate that the deregulation legislation will cost consumers $16 billion through 1985 in higher gas bills. But backers said the measure was needed to help find new gas supplies and to show other nations that the United States is serious about instituting a national energy policy.
Yesterday's recommission motion differed from last week's in only one respect: It would have instructed the House and Senate to include in the redrafted legislation a provision giving farmers a high priority for getting natural gas during shortages.
