Nicaraguan troops retake city
MANAGUA, Nicaragua—Warplanes and helicopter gunships pounded rebel positions in and around Estagel last night and the government claimed its forces retook the city, reported to be the last guerrilla stronghold in the violent unrising against President Atasiano Somoza.
Nicaraquag's national guard said in a broadcast statement that guard troops had "penetrated all sectors of the city, returning calm and tranquility."
The city, about 70 miles north of Managua, has been under constant attack by national guard troops since Thursday. Warplanes and helicopter gunships made repeated raids on the city and on nearby rebel positions. Ground troops were supported by at least one tank.
However, reporters were not allowed to enter Esteli and the government report could not be independently confirmed.

Bennett orders mandate review
OVERLAND PARK—As part of the budget preparation process this fall, Robert F. Bennett has ordered a complete review of all state mandates on local budgets.
The mandates have become a source of considerable irritation to city officials over the years. The state orders programs but usually provides no funding for them, leaving it to the cities to pay for the programs. That usually adds to the local property tax burden.
Bennett told officials of the League of Kansan Municipalities at their annual convention here that he already had proposed that no new mandates be placed on the city.

Blue Cross reauests increase
TOPEKA-State Insurance Commissioner Fletcher Bell disclosed yesterday that Kansas Blue Cross-Blue Cross has requested rate increases ranging from 2.9% to 5%.
The increases, if approved by him, would affect about 376,000 policy holders, but would depend on what kind of coverage each individual had. Bell said.
The commissioner said he had requested additional information on the rate increase request. He said Blue Cross-Blue Shield had not provided sufficient data on past and future losses and expenses to determine whether the increases were instituted.
neit also criticized the insurance company for what he said was a lack of an aggressive effort to hold down its own costs.
The increases are being sought on policies covering groups of less than 25 subscribers, farm organizations, nongroup subscribers and those under Plan 65 and Plan D in all Kansas counties except Johnson and Wyandotte, the commissioner said.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The mood of triumph that swept the capital with the successful end of the Camp David summit was tempered with concern yesterday as President Carter and his wife of Egypt and their candidate job of maintaining the momentum toward peace.
Mideast peace efforts continuing
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Manchen Begin of Israel met separately and privately with members of Congress, and later it was clear that serious roadblocks remain before real peace can be achieved.
**WHEN HE EMERGED from the meeting, Sadat told reporters he would talk to Hussein immediately after returning to Cairo tomorrow. Sadat is scheduled to leave in June and then run to stop in Rabaa Morocco, for talks with Kigai Hassan before returning to Egypt.**
MEANWHILE, Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance prepared to fly to the Middle East to meet with the leaders of Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to discuss the Camp David accords and to try to enlist their support for the neceff effort.
Following Said's saddl meeting with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Frank Church, D-Daho, said Said expressed the hope that "King Hussein will play the role that must be played in Jordan if the invasion of the West Bank is ever to be resolved."
Across the Capitol, Begin said at a meeting with House members, "I believe with all my heart that the Jewish people have a right to sovereignty over Judea, Israel and Lebanon," the minister used the biblical names for the lands on the West Bank of the Jordan River.
THE CAMP DAVID accords call for replacement of Israel's military government on the island to be abolished by the predominantly Palestinian population. The new government would administer the area for five years, and it would be negotiated by all interested parties.
During the transition period, Israeli troops are be stationed in specified areas on West Bank.
Begin repeated that he regarded the arrangement to post Israeli troops in the area air not for five years. It is for the transition

ACROSS FROM GIBSON'S
BEGIN ALSO underscored Carter's statement that there was no provision in the agreements that would lead to the stationing of U.S. troops in the Middle East. But he said Israel would welcome U.S. military bases in the area.
Spokesman Thomas B. Ross said the estimates were "very preliminary." Under the Camp David agreement, the air bases would be built to compensate for three major bases the Israelis will return to Egypt in giving back land in the Sinai.
Meanwhile, a Pentagon spokesman said construction of two new military air bases for Israel in the Negro Desert would cost the United States from $300 million to $1 billion.

Sen. James Aburezey, D.S.D., the most vocal and consistent supporter in Congress of the Palestinian cause, said the Camp David accord would tip the balance overwhelmingly in Israel's favor and cause a major disruption in the Arab world.
