Abortions denounced by Falwell
By United Press International
WICHTI — The Rev Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, says he fears the ramifications of legal abortion in the United States more than he does in military threat of the Soviet Union.
Fallwell spoke yesterday to an audience of several hundred people that spilled out of a Wichita State University lecture hall into the hallways, while others watched the spiritual leader of the New Right on closed-circuit monitors in adjacent rooms.
"I fear our attitude and our behavior toward the unborn far more than I fear the Soviet Union," Falwell told an audience sprinkled with hecklers. "I do not believe that God almighty is to allow to a free nation like ours to continue to burn its children without the judgment of heaven falling on our society.
"WE MUST DO everything within legal parameters to guarantee civil and human rights to the unborn."
At a news conference before the lecture, Falwell commented on a recent statement by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops that said it was "a social and moral scandal" that 35 million Americans live below the poverty line.
"I very much appreciate the bishops' desire to help the poor." Falwell said. However, "If the conclusion is redistribution of wealth, the conclusion is wrong." said Falwell, a passionate advocate of the free enterprise system. On America's youth, Falwell said. It is especially exciting that the vary in views on the tremendous turn to the right on just about all political, social and moral issues.
"If we don't come back to traditional values, we are going to self-destruct."
DURING HIS LECTURE, Falwell said the nation was never going back to "the permissiveness and the leftist leanings of the 60s and 70s that almost sunk this ship of state."
"America is on its way back," he said.
Falwell also applauded the Reagan administration's tough foreign policy stand toward what was described as a "big expansionism in Central America."
Students protesting Falwell's visit were black armbands during the lecture while others in the back of the hall heckled the guest and there were no serious incidents and the lecture was uninterrupted.
About 15 protesters outside carried signs denouncing Falconer oppression and moral opinions. One sign read, "Hell hath no furher like Falwell."

Electric cooperative seeking rate increase
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Sunflower Electric Cooperative officials yesterday warned that the utility could suffer irreparable financial harm if it was not allowed to pass on to member cooperatives and their customers $7.5 million in costs from contracts with two other utilities.
In a hearing before the Kansas
Corporation Commission, Sunflower
asked for permission to make the
passing of the bill to cover
$25,000 a month losses.
Sunflower, which provides power to eight rural electric cooperatives in the western third of the state, has been purchasing electricity from Kansas Power and Light Co. and Central Telephone and Utilities Co. until it could generate its own power to meet member needs.
Last year, Sunflower's coal-fired power plant at Holcomb began operation, prompting the utility to purchase the equipment purchased from KPL and Center.
Anticipating it could sell the KPL-Centel power, Sunfower had the contract costs removed from its rates in 1983. However, the inability to assume the contracts left Sunfower with the $7.5 million annual bill.
Stephen W. Thompson of Hays, Sunflower's assistant general manager, told the commission the utility had a $17 million deficit that was endangering the financial stability of the company. He said passing along the credit to the GTL Center contracts would alter that deficit by nearly 8 million.
He said removing the contract costs from the rates last year was a "reasonable business risk" that did not work out.
Lawyers for the commission staff and the city of Garden City questioned the request, saying that interim relief was not necessary and that the issue could be considered during other sunflower rate matters in December or January.
Robert Alderson, a lawyer representing Garden City, said the KCC should consider the request a part of an overall question whether Sunflower had excess generating capacity.
Sunflower's member cooperatives are Wheatland, Scott City; LaneScott, Ness City; Western, Hays; Great Plains, Weskan; Victory, Jetmote; Northwest Kansas, McDonald; Norton-Decatur, Norton and Pioneer, Ulysses.
