Kreps resians from Cabinet
Kreps, the first economist and first woman to hold the top Commerce post, wrote to Carter Wednesday about her decision to resign Oct. 31 for personal reasons.
Friends who asked for anonymity said she had been considering resignation since June, when her husband, Cliffon, attempted suicide.
The White House made public an exchange of letters between Carter and Kerry to direct reference to Kreps' desire to return to North Carolina and her family.
A. Kennech Pye, charceler of Duke University, said in Durham, N.C., that Kreps would return to the University Nov. 1. She has been on leave as a Duke vice president and economics professor while serving in the Carter administration.

"I've never seen anything as bad," Gov. Ella Grasso said after a helicopter tour of Windsor Locks, her hometown.
Grasso continued for a second night the $8-p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew in Windsor and Windsor Locks. Five hundred National Guardiards were called out to assist.
Killed were William Kowalsky, 24 of Manchester, and a 43-year Windsor woman whose name, authorities said, has not yet been confirmed.
Grasso, who appointed for federal disaster aid for the area, received offers of assistance from the governors of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Crime increases in Kansas
TOPEA-K the number of violent crimes reported in the state in the first six months of 1997 increased 13 percent over the comparable period last year. The number of homicides fell by 25 percent.
Kelly said there were 3,680 violent offenses—murder, rape, robbery and assault—reported in the six months ended June 30. This compares with 3,240 in the previous six months.
The statistics are compiled from monthly crime figures supplied by law enforcement agencies throughout the state.
The biggest percentage increase by category both in 1978 and the first half of 1979 was in the number of raps reported. There were 577 raps reported in 1978, and 394 in 1979. In 1978, there were 225 raps reported.
In the first six months of 1979, there were 278 raps reported, up 23.5 percent from the first half of 1978.
TOPEKA—Attorney General Robert Stephan yesterday commended the Wichita police chief and the Sedgwick County district attorney for their handling of the controversy caused by a stag party attended by some officers and assistant prosecutors.
Stephan lauds Wichita chief
Richard LaMunyon, Wichita police chief, and Vern Miller, Sedgwick county district attorney, said Wednesday that five assistant prosecutors and two investigators had resigned and two police officers had been fired because of their involvement in the November slug party at a private club operated by the Fraternal Order of Masons.
LaMunyon said he had determined that there had been violations of the law at the party, including liquor possession, gambling, showing of pornographic materials.
Kennedy funds draw complaint
WASHINGTON—President Carter's campaign committee, alarmed by opposition money being funneled into Florida, filed a formal complaint yesterday with the Federal Election Commission in an effort to dampen the draft-Kennedy movement.
In its complaint to the FEC, the Carter committee said that national fundraising in support of efforts to draft Sen. Edward Kennedy, D.Mass., for the Democratic presidential nomination was being coordinated and therefore was illegal.
If the commission accepts this view, it would drastically reduce the money donors and political commissions may give to the Kennedy movement.
The complaint marked the Carter campaign's first major assault against the movement to draft Kennedy for the nomination and reflected growing concern over his handling of the war.
Carlin firm on death penalty
TOPEKA-Gove, John Carlin yesterday expressed his sympathies to the family of murdered a 20-year old bank employee Grant Avery, but reaffirmed his condemnation.
Carlin's statement came in a written response to a four-page letter he received this week from Peabody banker W.E. Avery, father of the slain bank employee. In his letter, Avery asked the governor to justify his veto earlier for the issue of reinstitutional capital punishment.
Describing his decision to veto the bill, Carlin said, "I was convinced then as I am now that for us to take away a life that God has given is wrong."
Avery's son was kidnapped and killed by 29 after an extortion attempt failed. An 18-year-old Haysville man, Timothy Newark, has pleaded guilty to assaulting Avery.
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Palestinian guerrilla chief Yasser Arafat yesterday brought flowers to the bedside of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and planted a big kiss on his head.
Arafat visits ailina Jackson
The governor said he would recommend legislation in 1800 to “address the sentences for those convicted a first-degree murder,” but he did not elaborate.
Jackson, suffering from a stomach ailment, was admitted to the American hospital on Monday, December. Because he had to postpone a meeting with Arafat, the Palestinian leader,

MANHATTAN—A special legislative committee yesterday decided to recommend that the burned-out shell of Nichols Gymnasium on the Kansas side be rebuilt.
Jackson said yesterday that he had contracted food poisoning from fresh fruit in Darmusac, Syria, but that he expected to be released from the hospital in October.
Nichols Gum to be preserved
The committee purposely left out suggestions for possible use of the gym, leaving that issue up to the university planning department.
Jackson and his 17-member delegation had planned to leave Beirut for the United States yesterday. He has said he hopes to bring President Carter a
One report estimated it would cost $500,000 to do the wall and floor work.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Nichols Gym, composed of two legislators and three university representatives, recommended that money be appropriated to stabilize the walls of the structure and protect its concrete floors in preparation for future renovation.
"The legislature last session had considered appropriating money to destroy
the cattle," which was burned in 10 years ago.

Judge Frank Thesis of the U.D. District Court said the order allowing Amtrak to stop the train would be effective at 6 p.m. CDT today—giving lawyers time to appeal.
WICHTHA (AAP)-A federal judge lifted his restraining order against Amtrak yesterday, freeing the passenger railway to eliminate its trains.
AN AMTRIKA spokesman in Chicago said that two of the trains that were scheduled to depart from Boston on Monday, as planned, but that no decision had been made on which run would be the train's start.
The three trains affected by the order are the Chicago-to-Houston Lone Star, the Chicago-to-Stealth North Coast Haithawa and the Chicago-to-Miami Floridian.
In Miami, the northbound Floridian left 11 minutes later after it was decided to go ahead and run the train, which left with only 10 to 12 passengers.
AN AMTRAK spokesman in Washington said any train enroute at the time the

The deraliment of the combined Southwest Limited and Lone Star Tuesday in Lawrence, which killed two crewmen and four officers, was not mentioned in the proceedings.
Carlin said he was not being critical of the judge's decision because he understood that congressional action had led to the decision.
DR. WILLIAM A. MILLER
KANSAS GOV. John Carlin said elimination of the Lone Star passenger train was a 'step backward' for rail travel. And the government has been reducing the passenger rail service in Kansas.
