Watkins resigns as Carlin aide
TOPEKA-Daniel L. Watkins, administrative assistant to Gov. John Carlin in 1997, will resign today or tomorrow to seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
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.
KANSAS 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 Dunbair, 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 78m on a curve designed for 30 mph.
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 is scheduled to release details of the hearing when it is completed.
Judge overturns abortion law
KANSAS CITY, Mo — Most sections of Missouri's abortion law were declared constitutional yesterday in a rulings down by U.S. District Court (D.C.) Judge James Mackey.
The judge ruled as unconstitutional provisions of the law stating that every child must be performed after 12 weeks of provisioning and that any parent must be written consent and that of a 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 child; that an abortion should not occur after 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 abortion attorney hailed the rulers as a "tremendous victory."
Hearinas set for KC firemen
KANAS CITY, Mo. -Hearings for 46 union firemen dismissed in a work downstreet last month will begin tomorrow before the city's Personnel Appeals Bureau.
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 work out of class. Police began taking over some fire stations, and firefighters
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. economy reported.
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 Historiu 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.
Luring a White House Cabinet Room signifying ceremony on the 51st 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 iuru slow
ATLANTA—Government prosecutors and defense attorneys in the Bert Lankard bank fraud trial are saying a hard time finding one who has not heard from anyone about it.
During the first two days of jury selection, all 18 prospective jurors said they had either heard of Lance or had knowledge of his widely publicized case. Most jurors were unaware that the trial was being held in Florida.
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 nanel was chosen.
McCartneu held on not charge
TOKYO- It was a hard day's night for former Beatle Paul McCartney, jailed on charges of martinia possession and smuggling after his arrest yesterday at Tokyo's airport. The arrest occurred as McCartney and his rock group, "Winns," arrived for an 11-concert tour.
McCarthy was seized by airport customers officials who said they found 219 grams—7.7 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 motels, restaurants and bars are suffering, ticket sales are also in a slump at Lake Placid, where the 1980 Winter Olympics were held.
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 water and shade to stay cool in summer.
Whether or not the games will go in Moscow, however, is another matter. The United States has received little encouragement from its allies on the question of boycotting 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 Topeka. Lows tonight will be 25°F, but highs will be 65°F.
The extended forecast calls for cooler temperatures with a chance of rain or snow Saturday.
Iranian plotters reportedlv shot
Revolutionary guardmen fold a plot by Iranian army officers to overthrow the Khomeini regime and the conspirators were secretly executed by firing squad, a Kuwaiti officer said.
By The Associated Press
Word of the alleged plot came after saboteur reportedly bombed an oil pipeline in what Iranian officials also described as a re- shah, anti-Khomenei attack.
Yesterday was the first anniversary of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahavi's flight from Iran, and the 74th day in captivity for some 50 American hostages by Moslem militants at the occupied U.S. Embassy in Tehran. It was also the first full day of an imposed by the Iranian government on American news reporting from Tehran.
Outwardly at least, the embassy situation was stalemated.
ABC News had reported that the Iranian Foreign Ministry sent a message in relegation to Tehran on a mediation mission to Tehran two weeks ago, was now acceptable to Khoumeni as an interim leader.
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.-Iran crisis.
But Tehran Radio, monitored in London,
but later the Foreign Ministry had denied
the report as "absolute lie." A Waldirhm
spokesman said the U.N. chief had received
reports that Tehran had been involved but
the spokesman said Waldirhm remained
in contact with Iran's U.N. ambassador, "so
he must be acceptable to Iranian authorities."
Walheim has proposed a U.N. investigation of the shah's alleged crimes against the Iranian people. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javadze favors the idea of a possible avenue of conciliation, but he still insists the shah remains in Iran before the hostages are freed.
The report of the coup plot, by the usually reliable Kuwait newspaper Al Rai Al Am, could not be confirmed with officials in Tehran.
The report said revolutionary guardmen 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 were all middle-ranking army officers and they had planned to seize control of Tehran and then lay siege to the holy city of Qom and then lay siege to south of the capital. They expected other Khomeini opponents and supporters of the shah to join them, the paper said.
All of the officers were rounded up and secretly executed, it said.
