BOSTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., took another dig at President Carter's health care program yesterday, questioning tying national health care programs to federal funding.
Kennedy blasts Carter health plan
In his speech to the National Governor's Association, Kennedy attacked the key investigators in the program outlined by the administration last month.
"It is wrong to tie the pledge and commitment of a right to the American people on some predictions that may or may not happen," Kennedy said. "We don't condition Social Security on the rate of inflation or the size of unemployment or the size of the deficit. We don't condition public education of the young people in our states on the size of the defict or the size of unemployment."
U.S. acts to bolster falling dollar
WASHINGTON—The government drew reinforcements yesterday into its battle to help the U.S. dollar, this time by giving American banks incentives to
The nation's high inflation rate, more than 10 percent, and huge trade deficits are considered the major cause of the dollar's steep decline in recent months.
The trade deficits and other factors have created a pool of more than $500 billion in foreign-held dollars, known as Eurodollars.
To help bring dollars back to the United States, the Federal Reserve Board announced it was removing the requirement that U.S. banks must keep a certain amount of cash in their accounts.
TOPEKA- The attorney for Milda Sandstrom has urged in documents filed with the Kansas Supreme Court that her conviction for first-degree murder should be reversed because a lower court conducted hearings without Sandstrom present.
Acquittal urged in Sandstrom case
In the documents, Wichita attorney Russell Shultz also argued that the lower court erred in allowing Topeka attorney Mark Bennett Jr. to serve as a special prosecutor. Shultz contends that juror misconduct was not properly handled by the trial court.
Shultz also contends that the Kansas Supreme Court should adopt a new standard to determine innocence by reason of insanity.
Sandstrom, who was convicted last November in Shawnee County District Court of the fatal shooting of her husband, nationally known broadcast star Ruth Thompson, on April 21, 2013.
Wheat sale to Zaire announced
WASHINGTON—The Department of Agriculture announced yesterday that a sales agreement has been signed with Zaire to provide the African nation with a new agricultural technology.
The agreement calls for the sale of $6.4 million of wheat and wheat flour about 50,000 metric tons.
It also includes $4.6 million of rice (12,000 metric tons); 14 million of tobacco (1,000 metric tons); and $3 million of cotton (10,000 bales).
The department said Zaire announced plans at the signing for agricultural self-heLP measures. Emphasis will be given to measures contributing to development of poor rural areas and measures enabling the poor to participate in small farm agriculture.
Kassebaum, Roy address inflation
Inflation and how to curb it the theme of statements made yesterday by the major party rivals for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. James B.
Nancy Landon Kassbeum, the Republican nominee, issued a statement from her Wichita campaign headquarters, saying there would be little hope for putting a brake on inflation if the federal government cannot reach a reasonable settlement with the nation's so-called workers.
Dr. Bill Roy, the Democratic contender, called for greater cooperation between business and labor to help stem the tide of inflation. He spoke at a
Both candidates will participate in a forum in Wichita tomorrow sponsored by the American Agriculture movement.
More tax revolts called possible
BOSTON—Although it is difficult to compare the economic and tax situations of California and Kansas, Gov. Robert Bennett said recently that the California tax system is less expensive than the others.
Bennett made the comment in an interview before the national governor's conference here.
Bennett said he did not know if public concern over taxes would spread through other states.
"I think it depends on how individual states respond to tax problems they have," he said.
Bennett said there was no way to compare California's voter-enforced budget cutbacks with the effect in Kansas if a similar cut were imposed.
"A cut the size of California's in dollars is twice our entire state budget," he said. "We'd probably be in the position of printing money and going to jail."
Trailways to begin 57 mph limit
WASHINGTON- Trailways, one of the country's largest transportation companies, soon will install governors in its buses that will limit highway speed to 57 mph. Governors are devices on engines to provide automatic control of speed.
The move prompted criticism from the Teamsters Union, which represents the drivers. The union said a speed limitation could be dangerous while passing.

S. Africa integrates crematorium
JOHANNSBURG, South Africa (AP)—Whites in this racially divided country may not live with non-whitees or be buried with them, but now all races may use the city's only crematorium, the Johannesburg Star reported yesterday.
The paper quoted Daniel Van Zyl, head of the city's parks and recreation department, which controls the crematorium, as saying that permission for all races to use it was granted after requests by religious groups and that four non-white have been cremated there.
About 2,400 whites a year are cremated in Johannesburg. Van Zyl said there had been no previous requests by non-whites to use the facility.
