Reagan ready to announce bid
Ronald Reagan prepared yesterday to launch his third campaign for the Republican presidential nomination while other candidates fanned out to court.
Reagan plans to announce his candidacy in a speech taped yesterday and televised tonight on a makeshift network of local television stations. He will also address the nation, as well as a number of other issues.
For the other candidates, the campaigning was already well underway.
After his announcement, which will make him the ten candidate for the Republican nomination, the 68-year-old former California governor will begin a five-day campaign trip. The 12-city trip is meant to solidify his position as an early favorite.
For the other candidates, the campaigning was already well underway. Reagan's three main rivals for the Republican nomination—former Texas Gov. John Cennon; former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, George Bush; Senate Minority Leader, Howard Baker—all were on the road yesterday.
Baker was meeting reporters in Philadelphia. Connally was in New Orleans, addressing a group from the National Association of Realtors, and Bush was in Sioux City, Iowa, a key state for presidential contenders because of its closely-watched January caucuses.
Carlin wants vote on rail funds
WICHTA—Gov. John Carlin said yesterday he wanted Kansans to vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to use its money to help
The governor said he would ask the state Legislature to pass a measure clearing the way for a statewide vote on the proposed constitutional change. Under the Kansas Constitution, state transportation money can only be used for highway construction and maintenance. That statute also has kept Kansas in compliance with a federal-state cost sharing arrangement at Amtrik. The governor has salvaged passenger rail transportation through such an arrangement.
Speaking to the Kansas Official Council's 8–th annual conference, Carlin said railroads were critical to the state's economy. He said that if the state was not properly represented in the federal legislative process,
Man home after arrest in Iran

In a telephone interview earlier yesterday, Tinker said that at 7:30 a.m. last month he was sent to the Irian guards court into his office at Alwaiz, Iran, and told him he was under arrest.
When he was arrested, Tinker did not know that the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, 14 hours from Abazaw, had been taken to Irian students two days before. He was held for his own safety.
Officials of Tinker's construction firm would not say how Tinker's release was arranged. He told one personal phone message "Tinker said."
Derailment blaze still a threat
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Firemen created a blaze in the wreckage of a train loaded with chemicals yesterday, but police said the continued threat of an explosion of deadly chlorine gas meant that 223,000 people who fired after the blaze were taken to safety.

The tanker cars were also cooled special coat onto the cars, reported bringing the trees under control early yesterday. Flames still flickered from some cracks and 200 men continued to fight the fire.

Bob Ranks, a spokesman for Daniel International Corp., of Greenville, S.C., said in a telephone interview that the firm had sent two investigators to the plant to探探 reports that a nut was improperly placed on one of 12 bolls positioned in Kansas Gas and Electric Co. and Kansas City Power and Light Co. are partners in the $1.08 billion project.
Robert Rives, a spokesman for KG&E in Wichita, said workmen had replaced the nut which had been installed improperly, as well as another one which offended safety regulations.

Regime accused of executions
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia—Six American and two Australian yachtmen were captured, tortured and executed in 1978 by the former Pol FoP regime, Cambodian officials said yesterday. The yachtmen, but their report could not be verified. They said all eight victims were captured sailing off the coast of Cambodia, but it was not clear whether they were captured together. The Americans were accused of being spies, they said.
Officials took reporters, who were accompanying six U.S. congresswomen visiting Phnom Penh, to Tuol Saeng prison, where the allegations allegedly took place. They said the Pol FoP regime executed more than 20,000 persons at the time. The regime now in power in Cambodia was installed by Vietnam troops who deposed Pol FoP last January. The current regime still is engaged in bloody fighting with loyalist forces.
At Tuol Sleng, once a school, the reporters were shown grisly torture instruments and photographs of some of the victims.
Stephan losing hope for train
Winning steer sold for $13.837
TOPEKA-Prospects for the state continuing its battle to save Amtrak's Lone Star passenger train from extinction are dimming, Attorney General Robert Stephan said yesterday. The court's refusal to grant an injunction to keep that train and two others operating while Kansas tried to take its case to trial in the 18th Circuit Court of Appeals had a chilling effect. The attorney general said he believed Kansas could prove Amtrak violated federal laws and regulations in operating the Lone Star and two other lines it has built to service much of Kansas, including figures to the courts on how much business was done on the three routes.
