Grand jury to hear LaCock case
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A Jackson County grand jury is scheduled Friday to review the shooting death of a teenager who allegedly was involved in the robbery last Saturday of Pete LaCock, Kansas City Royals first baseman, the Jackson County prosecution's office has said.
The prosecutor had the option of ruling the death of Alex M. Clark, 17, as justifiable homicide or turning the case over to the grand jury. The grand jury could still issue such a ruling, according to Jaylyn Fortney, Jackson County warrant officer.
LateCook, his wife and two other couples were robbed of $40 in cash and two wedding rings by three men near the Country Club Plaza. The men threatened
Authorities would not say who would be called to testify or whether LaCock would be among the witnesses.
Kenyan president dies quietly
NAIROBI, Kaira—President Jomo Kenyatta, who ruled the East African nation of Kenya with a wrist hand through its 15 years of independence, died in London on August 26.
Kenyaatta, a herdsboy and witch doctor's son who was schooled in London and Moscow, was thought to be in his 80s, though he had said he didn't know his age. Daniel Arap Moi, 57, Kenya's vice president, was quickly sworn in as president.
The country's constitution requires an election within 90 days. U.S. State Department officials in Washington said Mae was considered the logical successor to Kenya.
Tape reveals murder contract
FORT WORTH, Texas—A taped conversation between T. Cullen Davis, a wealthy industrialist, and an employee ordered to buy the murders of 15 people indicated that the quicker the millionaire's enemies could be killed, the happier he would be.
The secret conversation, between Davis and David McCrystal, was played during a court hearing yesterday to determine whether Davis should be freed on charges of trying to buy the murder of the judge in his divorce case. Davis was arrested on the charge Sunday.
The hearing adjourned after the tape finished but prosecutors indicated they would play another tape today of a conversation in which McCory supplied testimony. The judge found the evidence to be valid.
McCory also testified yesterday that he had Davis several times to arrange the death of a young woman, who had testified in his trial last year on charges of rape.
Study of state abortions asked
TOPEKA—A member of Right to Life Affiliates of Kansas said yesterday he had asked Joseph Califano Jr., secretary of health, education and welfare, for a full investigation of Medicaid abortion payments, policies and procedures in Kansas.
Patricia A. Goodson, Shawnee, also asked Califano to outline what steps he might take to ensure that federal money is reimbursed to the state for abortion treatment.
She said she had submitted the requests to Califano because she understood he had released a report showing that Kansas, a rural state with little more than 1 percent of the nation's population, draws the most federal abortion payments.
Countu answers Indians' suit
Jackson County's response to a suit by Indians seeking exemption from paying personal property taxes is more an effort to clear up how the exemption would be put into effect than a challenge to the Indians' rights, Richard Lake, county attorney, said yesterday.
Indians on the Pottawatomi Reservation have contended the county cannot tax their personal property, and have been granted a temporary injunction against them.
One of the plaintiffs in the suit has filed for an exemption for a mobile home, which the county considers real property. Another has filed for exemption for a home that is listed as a mobile home.
He said those situations posed problems in determining who should get the tax abatement relief.
Group asks neo-Nazis for meet
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-The Rev. Emmanuel Cleaver, executive vice president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, has said that local leaders of the group want to meet with organizers of a neo-Nazi party to prevent violence.
Cleaver said his group sought the meeting because of a recent attack on the leaders of the party, the American White People's Party, during a radio talk show.
Cleaver sent the party's leaders a telegram Monday saying the meeting would reduce racial agitation and eliminate the possibility of conflict. He had said he would support the vote.

Rounds of paint-filled pellets were fired last night at a leading Democratic candidate for governor in Oklahoma's primary election.
A man with a rusty pistol shot at the candidate, Attorney General Larry Derryberry, 38, at an election watch party in Tuuna's Mayo Hotel. Derryberry, who was splashed with the red paint but unharmed, was running second to 11. Gov. George Nigh.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (UPI)—The Harry S. Truman Library yesterday announced it was offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of a collection of jewelled weapons stolen from the library in March.

Police and FBI agents investigating the March 27 theft of five jeweled swords and daggers of Middle East origin—which were originally valued at several hundred thousand dollars but, authorities said, are worth much more—said the reward was prompted by a lack of suspects and few clues.
