Watkins resigns as Carlin aide
TOPEKA-D - Daniel L. Watkins, administrative assistant to Gov. John Carlin in
will resign today or tomorrow to seek the Democratic nomination for
the governor's office.
Watkins' imminent resignation was confirmed by Bill Hoch, Carlin's press secretary.
Panel to hear engineer's story
Watkins, 32. Democrat from Lawrence, has made no secret of his intention to challenge the reelection bid of the Republican incumbent, Larry Winn Jr. He originally said he might remain with Carlin through the 1980 legislative session, but changed that strategy to get an earlier start on his campaign.
KANAS CITY, Mo. — The National Transportation Safety Board will send a panel to Kansas City this month for a sworn statement from the engineer of a passenger train that derailed near downtown Lawrence at Fourth and Ohio streets last October and killed two crewmen.
Brad Dunbar, an NTSB spokesman in Washington, said yesterday that a closed hearing was scheduled for Jan. 29 to take a deposition from Lawrence Graham, who was reported to have at the controls of the Amtrak train Oct. 2. when it left the tracks at 28m on a curve designed for 30m.
Graham, 63, who lives in the Kansas City area, missed the NTSB's public hearing in Lawrence last month because he was hospitalized for a heart ailment. Dunbar said a closed hearing was decided on because of Graham's NTSB official's schedule to release details of the hearing when it is completed.
Judae overturns abortion law
KANSAS CITY, Mo — Most sections of Missouri's abortion law were declared constitutional yesterday in a ruling handed down by U.S. District Court under Mr. Hirschfeld.
The judge ruled as unconstitutional provisions of the law stating that every abortion performed after 12 weeks of pregnancy must be done in a hospital; the doctor must be a licensed physician, parent, guardian, or a court order to the physician; that an abortion of a "viable unborn child" be prohibited unless necessary to save the life or health of the mother; and that the mother shall not be being advised of alternatives to abortion; and that special counseling be given by a licensed physician or registered nurse before an abortion is per-
State officials indicated the decision probably would be appealed, although a pro-b讼 attorney hailed the ruling as a "tremendous victory."
Hearings set for KC firemen
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Hearings for 46 union firemen dismissed in a work slowdown last month will begin tomorrow before the city's Personnel Appeals
The cases are expected to be consolidated into one case and heard at the same time.
The 12-day work slowdown began Dec. 21 after the local firefighters union rejected the city's final offer for a two-year 19.3 percent wage and benefit increase. Firemen refused to work overtime, perform routine inspections and out of work class. Police began taking over some fire stations, and firefighters were forced to stay on duty.
Firemen returned to work after the city began pressing contempt charges against those who allegedly violated a temporary restraining order against the
Factory output sluggish in '79
WASHINGTON - Production at the nation's factories rose a weak 0.3 percent last year, the most sluggish performance since the recession in 1974, the U.S. Labor Department said Tuesday.
The Federal Reserve blamed auto production for much of the weakness. It declined 20 percent in 1979 in the wake of slow sales that followed the spring
Black Historu Month declared
WASHINGTON—Proclaiming February as National Black History Month, president Carter said Tuesday that it was impossible to separate black history from white history.
During a White House Cabinet Room signing ceremony on the 31st anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth, Carter quoted King's words: "In
Carter urged schools and communities "through the nation to encourage the study of our past, to plan projects and programs to commemorate important historical events and movements and to highlight those whose lives made a difference."
Carter said the United States "theoretically is a nation devoted to equality of opportunity, to complete freedom, to the right of expression, to the right of progress, to constant hope and idealism, to the resolution of differences through love, cooperation and peace."
Selection of Lance jury slow
ALTANIA-Government prosecutors and defense attorneys in the Bert
ance bank fraud trial are having a hard time finding anyone who has not heard of
the case.
During the first two days of jury selection, all 18 prospective jurors said they had either heard of Lance or knowledge of his widely publicized case. Most of those chosen for a jury pool of 96 said they had discussed the case with others. Some jurors who were not sure whether to oblige the bank missuing bank funds and making false statements to
Lance and three former associates are accused of illegally conspiring to obtain $20 million in loans, misusing bank funds and making false statements to
Judge Charles A. Moye Jr. said it probably would be tomorrow before the panel was chosen.
McCartney held on pot charge
TOKYO- It was a hard day's night for former Beatle Paul McCartney, jailed on charges of marijuana possession and smuggling after his arrest yesterday at Tokyo's airport. The arrest occurred as McCartney and his rock group, "Winks" arrived for an 11-concert tour.
McCarthy was seized by airport customs官员 who said they found 219 grams—7.2 ounces of marijuana in a plastic bag in one of the singer's suitcases.
Led away in handcuffs and jailed overnight, McCartney was held without bail but allowed to speak with a lawyer, police said.
If found guilty, he could be sentenced to a maximum of seven years in prison and face a fine of up to the equivalent of $2,000, officials said.
Resorts miss Old Man Winter
The party is a bust in the ski lodges of New York and New England, where no one can recall a January with the mountains and trails so bare of snow.
Mother Nature held a winter, but forgot the ice.
While ski resorts and their satellite hotels, restaurants and bars are sufferin-
tion, ticket sales are also in a slump at Lake Placid, where the 1980 Winter
But the games will go on, officials say, with or without nature's free snow. The Lake Placid facilities are "weatherproof," they say, equipped with enough air conditioning and a water system.
Whether or not the games will go on in Moscow, however, is another matter. The United States has received little encouragement from its allies on the question of boycottting the Moscow Olympics and may decide to try to boycott the games alone, State Department officials said yesterday.
Weather . . .
Today and tomorrow will be sunny with temperatures reaching the 40s, according to the National Weather Service in Hopewell. Lows tonight will be 17°F, but it will be hotter than usual.
The extended forecast calls for cooler temperatures with a chance of rain or snow Saturday.
Iranian plotters reportedly shot
Revolutionary guardsmen foliated a piet of Iranian army officers to overthrow the Khomine regime and the conspirators were secretly executed by firing squad, a Kuwait victory.
By The Associated Press
Word of the alleged plot came after saboteurs reportedly bombed an oil pipeline in what Iranian officials also described as a pre-sham, anti-Khomenei attack.
Yesterday was the first anniversary of Shah Mohammad Rea Pahlavi's flight from Iran, and the 74th day in captivity for some 50 American hostages held by Moslem militants at the occupied U.S. Embassy in Tehran. It also was the year the Iranian government imposed by the Iranian government on American news reporting from Tehran.
Outwardly at least, the embassy situation was stalented.
The Iranians again rejected the idea of having U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim act as a mediator to try to resolve the U.S.-Iranian crisis.
ABC News had reported that the Iranian, Foreign Ministry sent a message to New York on Monday saying it would mediation mission to Tehran two weeks ago, was now acceptable Khourienn as an importer.
But Tehran Radio, monitored in London,
but later the Foreign Ministry had denied
the report as an "absolute lie." A Waldheim
spokeman said the U.N. chief had received
receipts from the spokesman. But the
spokesman said Waldheim remained in
contact with the U.N. U.S. ambassador, so
he must be acceptable to Iranian authorities."
Waldheim has proposed a U.N. investigation of the shah's alleged crimes against the Iranian people. Iranian Foreign Minister Khamenei favored to the idea of a possible avenue of conciliation, but he still insists the shah is forced to lean on the hostages are freed
The report of the coup plot, by the usually reliable Kuwait newspaper Al Rai Al Aim, could not be confirmed with officials in Tehran.
The report said revolutionary guardsmission uncovered the plot by chance when they stopped and searched the car of one of the conspirators at a roadblock.
The newspaper, which quoted unnamed diplomatic sources said the plotters at Tehran had been planning to have them planned to seize control of Tehran and then lay siege to the capital of Qom. The information led Tehran to support the capital. They expected other Khomineh opponents and supporters of the shah to join the attack.
All of the officers were rounded up and secretly executed, it said.

Tlcalculators are helping solve Olympic scoring problems.
Get a problem solver that's solving problems in the real world.
The more your courses approach the problems of the real world, the more you need a calculator that's already there.
These two programmatic calculators show the instruments can take you from your enginering instrument to a range of professionals like the ones who run it and speed up scoring at the Winter Games.
The TI Programmable 58C lets you spend your time learning concepts instead of working problems. $810^{\circ}$.
Perhaps your current calculator can solve advanced engineering problems, but you will probably spend a lot of time doing them. The default settings include 60 memories, plus 170 keyboard functions and operations, you'll be amazed at just how much of the work the S-8C will do.
The TL-98C has a Constant Memory" feature that lets you look a program in the machine—even when it is turned off. You can rewrite your program and class use it to later review the concept and work the problems. You can store reverence on the screen, even if you turn it off, for later use.
The TI-58C will seem like more than a calculator — its computer-like capabilities let you design your own programs or use them as your own software. The State Software™ modules with ready-to-use
use programs. A Master Library module (included with the calculator) has 25 basic programs in math, statistics, and other subjects. Master Library modules include programs on applied statistics, advanced mathematical routines, electrical engineering, business mathematics.
With all of its capabilities and functions the TI86C is simple to operate using TI86C's programming language. The AOS entry system let you enter problems the way they are written — from left to right — and handles up to 9 levels of parameterization with the rules of algebraic hierarchy.
With the TI-88C you'll also get a copy of
