KANSAS CITY, Mo. — U.S. Treasury officials say a pyramid sales-chain letter scheme has entered the Kansas City area that involves Series E savings bonds.

"The individuals who think these things" may make a killing, but somewhere along the line somebody is going to get buried. "Morvant said,"
**participants in the scheme pay $7.50 for their copy of a chain letter. They buy two $25 savings bonds for earlier participants and sell two copies of the letter.**
The letter and that after selling the two bond packages the participant can expect 2,048 $2 bonds, which have an immediate value of $38,400 and a value of $59,600.
Mortant said those who start the list may make some money, but eventually people are going to be stuck with worthless letters.
Officer beaten in court hall
KANASS CITY, Kan.-A Kansas City, Kan., policeman was assailed in a federal court hollownight days before he was acquitted on a charge of assault.
a temporary fellowman, Walter C. Myers, suffered a swollen jaw and complained of a loss of hearing of bearing after being struck by Cecil Keye. a defendant in the case is John P. Miller.
Myers declined to comment on why Keys hit him, but a government attorney speculated the assault may have been in retaliation for Myers' work as a police officer.
Myers, a 18-year police veteran, was inducted in August on a charge of attempting to take a 25 caliber automatic pistol into the penitentiary on April 17.

The defense argued that Myers did not intend to take the gun into the pententiary, but merely forgot he had it tucked inside the bandwain of his
IURRKA - A group of Shawnee County citizens yesterday formed the Citizens Against Liquor in Restaurants organization to fight the liquor question.
The group, headed by Doug Wallace and Don Jesse, claimed the defeat of the liquor question in Shawnee County would prevent an increase in alcohol-related highway accidents, crime and alcoholism and the related loss of production and increased taxes and insurance costs; the group intends to distribute literature.
A total of 45 Kansas counties have certified petitions enabling residents to vote on whether to serve alcoholic beverages in restaurants.
Fewer labor appeals called for
TOPEKA- Prohibiting workers from appealing each stage of labor negotiations would help solve Kansas' lingering labor dispute, Gov. Robert
"Back-to-work orders ought to be in full force and effect," he said. "If a district judge hearing the complaint of both sides decides they should be made aware."
Although the framework of current laws is adequate to handle labor negotiations, Bennett said, refinements ought to be made in the use of the courts. When a district court makes a decision, the decision ought to be non-appealable, he said.
Current statutes allow appeals of each step but could be changed to prohibit unnecessary appeals without infringing on an individual's rights, he said.
Court hears appeal by Soles
TOPEKA-H The Kansas Supreme Court yesterday heard the appeal of Michael Bentley, a senior judge and wounding seven others alleged for failing to comply with Wetland Works Act law.
Soles's attorney, William Cather, criticized the lower court's determination that Soles was mentally competent to stand trial. The attorney said Dr. Sayed Jehan, who examined the suspect shortly after the Aug. 11, 1978 shootings, did not have the benefit of additional information that was necessary for the case.
Assistant Sedgwick County District Attorney Stephen Robinson protested what he called an attempt by Catherine to have a competency hearing before the court.
The high court took the case under advisement. A decision is at least a month away.

AMMAN, Jordan, (UPI)—Secretary of State Cyrus Vance arrived in Jordan yesterday on a crucial mission to try to persuade skeptical Arab moderates that the Camp David summit accords are a step toward peace and accept. But he faced a difficult, unfullt task.
Vance takes pacts to Arabs
As he arrived from Washington, Vance said President Carter "attaches the highest importance to receiving Jordanian King Hussein's views at this crucial phase of our
Opposition to the accords mounted steadily in the Arab world. Jordan and oil-rich Saudi Arabia, where Vance is traveling *today*, all but rejected his mission before it began. They said the summit had unforeseen key demands in a Middle East settlement.
U. S. officials aboard the Vance plane said he did not expect any quick, final response from the Jordanian government. They said Mr. Bush would be on the Israeli parliament's debate on the
KUWAI T AND QATAR, in statements similar to one made by their oil-titan neighbor Saudi Arabia, rejected the accords because they excluded the Palestine Liberation Organization from the peace process.
Representatives of the hardline Arab states of South Yemen, Algeria and Libya, plus the PLO and radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, gathered in Damascus, Syria, for a counter-summit to plan strategy for Syria. He also visited Damascus for five hours Saturday but said he had little hope of changing the situation.
A general strike called by the PLO to protest the accords paralyzed business activity in Moslem areas of Lebanon. Columns of smoke rose from burning tires in the streets of western Beirut and towns and villages shut down throughout southern Lebanon.
Police in Wichita vote on contract
WICHITA (AP) - City and police negotiators released a tentative agreement yesterday that could end the six-day-old police strike. But 50 firemen contested a contract ratification vote that could end their 11-day walkout.
Police officers were to vote last night and tonight on the proposed contract, said Joe Vertuno, negotiator for the 164 striking police officers in New York to the city commission for consideration.
troublesome issue of Israeli settlements in occupied territory.
VERTUNO CALLED the policemen's 'pact a good agreement' and said it contained provisions for the possible reintroduction of prisoners who were fired for walking off their jobs.
Striking firefighters approved a compromise contract yesterday by a 12-vote margin. However, 50 firemen said they did not believe Leavine, leaving the effect of the vote in question.
That was a key issue in the negotiations, which began Monday.
Vertuno refused to discuss any other contents of the agreement.
The confusion over the firefighters' contract arose as the president of the International Association of Fire Fighters and Support of his 175,000-member organization.
About 360 firefighters helped off the job and were joined late last week by the 164
JOE MCMAHON, a regional IAFF negotiator, said that he thought the ratification vote should stand and that the commission was close to accepting the proposal.
commissioners met for two hours yesterday to discuss the pact but adjourned to a later meeting.
Peters said commissioners would be subject to "future call."
Reinstatement of striking firefighters was not a problem, McMahon said. He said that the proposed contract asks the fire chief to relinquish his power to discipline firefighters who return. It asks him to leave that authority to the courts.
The firefighters approved a seven-page agreement calling for a pay raise, regardless of whether city voters pass a half-cent sales tax increase.
The settlement put before the commissioners forfeits a 6 percent and $40 a year.
The contract also called for reinstatement of striking firefighters and an agreement by those men that they admit to being in violation. The judge agreed to be punished on the court's discretion.
THE PACT further stated that the raise would be 9 percent and $40 a month effective Jan. 1 if the sales tax passes on the company. If the tax increase will not be implemented until Sept. 1,
Two jailed officers of Local 666 were released after signing appeal bond agreements that stated they would not participate further in the firefighters'
The two officers were Bill Cook, union president, and John Robinson, vice president. They were jailed Tuesday after a judge found them in contempt for failing to obey his order to urge their men to return to work.
Police Chief Richard LaMunyon strongly opposes rehiring the striking policemen. His department has hired 20 new officers since the announcement of additional applications are being processed.

In Baghdad, Iraq, newspapers criticized the Camp David resolutions for the second day. Al Thawra, a leading Iraqi paper, reported that the United States and collaborators" and said that "liberation and victory over the enemies of the nation rejection of capitulation settlements."
PRESIDENT ANWAR Sadat said in Washington late Tuesday that he would forge ahead with his Middle East peace efforts even if Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinians of the Jordan West Bank objected.
The Egyptian armed forces pledged continued support of Sadat, praising his "wise leadership," and describing the peace accord as a major achievement.
Israel cracked down on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, where Arab residents staged minor disturbances to protest the Camp David meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and to Israel tonight from New York. He faces a difficult political battle in parliament.
Sources close to Jordan's King Hussein said the summit's outcome had reinforced his belief that Israel had no intention of becoming a state. He supported withdrawal from occupied Arab land and Palestinian self-determination. They said Vance's task in Anman would not be an

are certainly some positive elements in the results of the Camp David talks, but they grow increasingly transform in the face of challenges posed by the public badyteries of political Zionism.
A Saudi statement Tuesday said, "We do not consider that the results of the Camp David summit guarantee a framework for future peace in the Middle East and decision by Israel to withdraw from the occupied Arab lands, nor make mention of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determine."
WESTERN DIPLOMA, surprised that usually reticent Jordan and Saudi Arabia had criticized the Camp David results before the Vance mission, said they thought the twin statements might have been partly smoking U.S. pressure for Israeli concessions.
Vance will visit Syriya after Saudi Arabia. Western diplomats said he had no illusion of bringing hardline Damascus behind the Islamic State group. US moderates had opposed them. The diplomats said the Vance mission as a bid to keep channels of communications open with Syria, which, along with Jordan and Egypt, has hosted Arab "confrontation line" with Israel.
But they said the statements also appeared to rule out any early support for the Camp David agreement from Israel, which was essential in President Carter's bid to expand the accords from a separate Israeli-Egypt agreement to the basis for an overall Middle East peace.
