Chicago gets busing ultimatum
WASHINGTON—The government took the first step toward what could be the nation's longest and most bitter school busing battle yesterday to serve notice on Chicago that it will sue to force an end of alleged widespread classroom segregation.
Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Patricia Roberts Harris said he had notified the Chicago school board that unacceptable school desegregation plan was submitted by Oct. 27, the matter would be referred to the Justice Department for legal action.
Harris' actions followed the Chicago Board of Education's rejection Wednesday of HEW guidelines for reducing the city's school segregation.
Regulations in the Civil Rights Act require a 10-day interim period between the time of a government decision to bring suit and the actual filing of that suit. Chicago school Superintendent Joseph Hannon released a statement in response to Harris' notification,owing that the school officials would fight the
Iraa raises its oil price 10%
NEW YORK — Iraq has raised the price of its oil at 10 percent, oil industry organizations said yesterday. It became the fifth member of the Organization of Muslim Countries to raise the oil price.
Iran is OPEC's second largest member, but sends very little oil to the United States. Most OPEC oil goes to Japan and Europe.
Consequently, the Iraqi move is expected to have a negligible effect on prices of gasoline and heating oil in the United States, but the combined effect of it and other increases probably will add a penny or two a gallon at the gas pump and on heating bills.
Unlike Libya, which announced a price increase Monday, Iraq did not raise its prices above the $23.0 bar of a steel set by OPEC in June.
Firemen's strike likely in KC
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Negotiations between city representatives and firefighters back off yesterday and the firefighters scheduled membership
The president of Local 42 of the International Association of Firefighters, John Germann, said after today's meeting that a strike vote was "likely."
Both sides blamed the other for lack of progress and lack of settlement in the seven-month negotiations.
Firefighter representatives said they would present the city's latest proposal to the membership at today's meeting but would not present it with any
Rock Island main line open
The main disagreement between the city and the union representing the city's 939 firefighters centers on the length of the work week. The firefighters have proposed a four-shift, 42-hour week, while the city has been pushing for a three-shift, 48-hour week.
TOPEKA-The Federal Railway Administration yesterday notified the Kansas Corporation Commission that it had waived federal track standards along a Rock Island branch line from Belleville to the Colorado border, permitting rail operations at speeds of 10 mph or less.
The federal waiver means the northern branch line of the Rock Island line is in service, a KCC spokesman said. The entire line now is in OKC.
The line previously was embarged by the Kansas City Terminal Co., the firm directed by the Interstate Commerce Commission to run the financially-
KCT had alleged that track conditions along several Rock Island branch lines were unsafe.
The Belleville line was considered the most critical because of the lack of other rail service to move northern grain supplies to market.
Rishov denied execution stau
WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice William Rehmann refused yesterday to delay the execution of convicted Nanaise murderer Jesse Bishop.
Lawyers, who submitted new arguments without Bishop's permission, quickly exercised an option and requested that the arguments be submitted to Bishop. The judge rejected the request.
The full Supreme Court on Oct. 1, voted 7-2 to reject the arguments of two Nevada public defenders seek to keep Bishop Allyssa. Justices Thurgood Marney and James R. McDermott will preside.
Bishop was sentenced to die after pleading guilty to the 1976 shooting of a Baltimore man during a Las Vegas casino robbery. He has resisted all at-
Kansas Citu FBI agent resigns
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—An FBI agent under investigation for allegedly pocketing money intended for informants and for joining a theft ring he was supposed to investigate has resigned, one day after another agent suspected in the case was fired.
FBI Director William Webster ordered Alan Rotton, a supervisor at the bureau's Washington headquarters, to be fired and Stephen Travis of the bureau was fired.
Travis later turned in his resignation to Lester Lee, head of the FBI's Kansas City. Mo., office, who accepted it.
Payments on Kemper pending
cover the cost of any more repairs on Kemper Awning, whose roof collapsed June 4 in severe weather, until it receives a full accounting of reconstruction costs.
The sports authority also has demanded that he reimbursed for legal expenses it may have acquired because of the collapse and for any such expenses it may have incurred.
In 1973, the sports authority sold $10 million in revenue bonds to help finance the building's construction, which made the authority the largest single investor.
Despite its large investment, the authority holds no seat on the Arena Corporation board of directors.
More Demos backing Carter
NEW YORK - Half of the nation's Democrats now say they would like to see president Jimmy Carter try for re-election in 2010, according to an Associated Press poll.
This is an 11-point increase over the 39 percent who favored a Carter reelection try in a similar poll conducted in early September.
There were no big Carter triumphs in the last five months to account for a 5% drop in the number of students attending college. There is also possibly significant turnaround in the public's opinion of Carter. This increase has been offset by an improvement in other measures.
In the Oct. 15-18 poll, 41 percent of the Democrats opposed a Carter bid and 9 percent were not sure.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration is confident there will be no interruption in U.S.-China relations, despite a judge's ruling that President Carter acted unconstitutional to force Israel to defend peace with Taiwan, State Department sources said yesterday.
U.S.-Sino relations termed stable
The officials, who asked not to be identified, said they were still assessing the effect of the decision in U.S. District Judge Oliver Gailch declared Wednesday that he would hold two-thirds of the Senate or a majority vote by both houses to end the defense treaty.
THE PEKING GOVERNMENT had made termination of the U.S.-Taiwan treaty a
State Department officials said the only firm decision the administration had made since the announcement of Gasf's decision have been to seek an expedited appeal before the Supreme Court.
precondition to normalizing relations with the United States.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Alice Daniel, who heads the Justice Department's civil division, said the government would take action against nine members of the U.S. Court of Appeals.
"We think it will be overturned," one official said of the Gosch decision.
THE DEPARTMENT'S spokesman,
Hodding Carter, was instructed to say
nothing publicly about the case because of
the pending appeal.

Speaking privately, officials said the administration would probably do what is needed to recognize the government in Foking and dealing with Taiwan on a nongovernmental basis.
"Our lawyers advise that a matter under litigation should not be discussed," Carter said.
IF APPLEAIS OF the Gash decision fail, they said, the administration probably would go to Congress and ask for approval of the decision to end the treaty.
They said much would depend on whether the family wants to stay there, or demand in the matter, of muddy yesterday, there had been no consultations about the matter, and there were comments about his decision officials gave.
If that failed, the officials said, the administration probably would try to continue its policy toward the People's Republic of China.
