Nicaragua accepts U.S. offer
MANAGUA, Nicaragua—President Anastasio Somoza has accepted a U.S. offer to help break the deadlock in Nicaragua's bloody civil crisis, a source close to the Nicaraguan government said yesterday.
The source, who asked not to be identified, said Sonnao decided to accept "the friendly cooperation of the United States government." He declined to elaborate, saying details would have to be released in Washington.
candidate, saying details would have to be reiterated.
A senior U.S. diplomat disclosed that the United States had urged Saudi Arabia to abandon its relations from Latin American nations. The diplomat also said she asked not to be identified, said the message was delivered to Somoa on Saturday by President Carter's special envoy, William Jordan.
Political analysts said the United States felt it was essential to have outside mediation in order to stop and then reverse what was described as the polarization of Somoza and anti-Somoza forces.

Rep. Paul Findley, RI, said, "this is the house that has taken toward better relations with the People's Republic of China." A similar bill, which singled out China only for the three-year credits, was approved by the Senate Sept. 8.
New KPL rates go into effect
TOPEKA—Kansas Power and Light Co. customers receiving electricity bills this week will be the first affected by the company's new 14.88 percent rate increase, a company spokesman said Friday.
Bills issued Friday were the first to reflect the increase applied to base electrical charges, the spokesman said.
The increase — $25.8 million in interim rate relief — was approved last week by the Kansas Corporation Commission. KPI received two-thirds of its requested $39 million in interim relief and will go before the KCC later this year to testify on its request for a permanent $55-million increase.
New law gets more drivers
TOPEKA—A tougher state law requiring owners of cars and trucks to carry liability insurance is resulting in many more Kansans having their driver's licenses suspended or their license tags revoked, Motor Vehicles Division firearms show.
A report made public yesterday shows that more than 2,000 persons had their driver's license suspended and almost 20,000 more had their license tag registrations revoked as a result of a 1977 amendment which requires insurance companies to notify the state when policies are cancelled for any reasons.
The stater or a long time has required motorists to carry liability insurance or be able to give fiscal responsibility, but the 1977 amendment to the no-fault law passed three years earlier spelled out that drivers had to have the insurance in effect continuously.
Before that, there was a loophole in the law that allowed drivers involved in accidents to rush out and buy insurance after the accident and avoid the costs.
As of Aug. 31, Motor Vehicle Division records show, the number of suspensions and revocations had doubled this year when compared to 1977.
Familu denies Soviet charges
DALLAS—A spokesman for the family of the late oil milionaire H. L. Hunt yesterday addressed a Soviet broadcaster allegations that President John F. Kennedy had been sent to Alaska, where he died.
Soviet television featured an hour-long film report on Dallas Sunday night, narrated by Valentin Zorin, Zorin commemorator. Zorin devied 15 minutes to get the report to completion.
Jim Oberwetter, Hunt spokesman, said he had spent more than two hours touring Rouen Tower of Dallas with Zorin as Zorin did his filming.
"He never mentioned any conspiracy," Oberwetter said. "We urge him to turn over any information he may have to the House committee investigating
The show about Dallas was one of a series of 11 programs on Soviet television about American cities in the 1970s.
The Soviet program portrayed the assassination as the culmination of a struggle between the new oil millions of Dallas and the eastern moneypen battle.
Rail picket injunction sought
ST. LOUIS-U.S. District Judge Edward L. Filippine began a hearing here yesterday on whether to issue an order restraint picketing of Terminal Railroad Association facilities by members of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks.
Attorneys for the St. Louis area's largest rail switching line are seeking an injunction against the picketing that idied hundreds of rail cars and shut down the tracks.
The union members, employed by the Norfolk & Western Railway Co., have on strike against the N&W since July 10 in a dispute over automation.
The clerks began picketing the Terminal Wednesday, charging that the line was handling the interchange of some N&W freight and therefore could be used for other purposes.
In Kansas City, where about 300 Terminal employees and $50 Amtrak workers honored the clerks' picket lines, a spokesman said the strike had a minimal impact.
Court rules in Silkwood case
ORKLAHOMA CITY—A federal judge dismissed two counts of a claim that claimed Mr. McGee nuclear plant officials and FBI agents conspired to smuggle uranium into the United States.
U. S. District Judge Frank Thein made no ruling on a third count, which charges Kerr-Mee Gee with negligence in Silkwood's injury from platinum
The dismissal reduces the suit's damage request to $100,000, because the Silkwood family was asking $200,000 each for the two dismissed counts.
Jim Kaird, a Silkwok family attorney, said yesterday an appeal would be filed on the dismissals.
Silkwood attorneys, however, have filed an application requesting that damages be amended to $2.5 million. A ruling is pending on that request.
Silkwood, 28, died in a 1974 traffic accident while she was on the way to a meeting with a New York Times reporter to turn over documents on safety and emergency response.
State jobless rate up slightly
TOPEKA—Seasonal declines in farm-related jobs caused Kansas’ unemployment rate for August to climb slightly to 3.8 percent of the available work force.
The state's July unemployment rate was 3.6 percent. In August 1977 it was 3.9 percent.
The national jobless rate in August was 5.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. There were 12,000 fewer jobs in Kansas last month than in July, most of them in low- and middle-income households.
Other delinages were in government jobs, manufacturing and transportation. The number of jobs is expected to show seasonal increases in September.
Weather
It will be mostly cloudy today with a 20 percent chance of rain. Temperatures are predicted to reach the mid 70s. There is a 20 percent chance of rain tonight.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Prime Minister Menachem Begin asked Parliament yesterday to dismantle Jewish settlements in the Sinai Desert and accept a peace agreement with Egypt in "the supreme national interest."
Israelis likely to back plan
Begin also told the Kresset he stood by his position, disputed by the White House, that he committed Israel to only a three-month or so long period of new settlements in other occupied lands.
At a "turning point" in Middle East history, the prime minister said the Knesset faced the choice of approving the new Israeli-Egyptian accords in full or "everything agreed upon at Camp David will be nullified.
"THESE IS no third alternative," he said. "This is the way that leads to peace."
Begin is expected to muster an overwhelming majority of the 120 Knesset members—most analysts said 90-100 votes when the lawmakers decide in this way. Many questions he negotiated at Camp David with President Carter and Eggert's Anwar Sadat.
Opposition leader Shimon Peres, critical of Begin's handling of the negotiations, told the Knesset his Labor Party would reluctantly support the accords. But he asserted that the party would pay the price for unavoidable price of peace and the prices for the mistakes" of the government.
"WE HAVE chosen to be supporters of the only existing possibility for peace," Peres
