U.S. troon counter lambasted
The Soviet Union lashed out yesterday against military moves to offset Soviet troops on Cuba, charging that Washington was seeking to escalate "gunboat战" on the island.
In the Kremlin's first detailed comment on Carter's Monday night broadcast address, Tass, the official news agency, said that the president and his advisers had been seeking to exploit "a myth that they themselves created" to exacerbate tensions and press for bigger military outlaws.
Carter announced in his speech the temporary stationing of 1,500 marines at the U.S. base at Guantanamo in Caba and creation of a new permanent joint task force.
In other reactions to Carter's speech, two of America's most influential allies, France and West Germany, said that the Cuba issue was not so important that it would be ignored.
Debate over the troops' presence has delayed consideration of the ALF agreement signed by Cartier and Soviet President Leonid Levin. Breezhvai in Vienna.
SALT II faltering in Senate
WASHINGTON—Republican leaders in the Senate said yesterday that the SALT II treaty could not be ratified now, partly because President Carter has failed to separate the pact from the continuing furor over Soviet combat troops in Cuba.
The Senate's Democratic leadership, however, fought to save the treaty, saving Carter has succeeded in demonstrating that the presence of 2,600 soldiers in Cuba in no way overshadows the importance of a treaty to control the nuclear arms race.
The debate over ALT II continued despite Carter's effort in a nationally broadcast speech Monday night to separate the issue from the Soviet troops in
In his speech, Carter said that he had not won agreement from the Soviets on changing the status of the Soviet troops and that he planned to increase U.S. involvement in the war.
In the Senate, Republican leader Howard H. Baker of Tennessee said he found Carter's response to the Soviet troop issue "disappointing and inadequate" and said his count showed SALT II would attract less than 60 votes if a final vote were held now.
The votes of 67 senators are needed for ratification.
Broken pipe vents radioactivity
RED WING, Minn. — A steam tube at the Prairie Island nuclear generating plant here ruptured yesterday about 2:30 p.m., spawning radioactive gases into the atmosphere for 27 minutes, a Northern States Power Co. spokesman said. However, the amounts were so small that they could not be detected outside the facility.
NSP spokeman Wayne Kaplan said that a general emergency had been declared at the plant, 28 miles southeast of Minneapolis-St. Paul, after the ruptured tube allowed radioactive gases to be released inside the plant and into the environment.
Kaplan said one of the two generators was shut down immediately after the small rupture was detected, but the second unit continued to operate under the same system.
Storm ends balloonists' hoves
SPENCERVILLE, Ohio. The flight of the气缸半胱装 balloon, Daini Vincel Trans-America, ended abruptly early yesterday after it was pelted by rain, snow and ice, and threatened by lightning, said Rudolph Engelman of Roulet, Colo.
Chief pilot Vera Simons, of McCleane VA., suffered a broken leg during the balloon's emergency landing in a soybean field here. She underwent surgery to repair her knee.
Engelmann, along with Fred Hyle, an eye surgeon from Prairie Village and NBC cameraman Rundy Bird, suffered only bruises.
The storm, which Engelmann called "a fluke," ended the hopes of the four balloons to complete the first non-stop transcontinental flight across
While waiting for word on Simons' condition, Engelmann said he would not attempt the journey again.
Rock Island payments outlined
WASHINGTON—The Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday sought to clarify which expenses the federal government would pick up in support of the Kansas City Terminal Railway Co.'s takeover of the strikebound Rock Island railroad routes.
In letters to railway President V.E. Coe and to Fred Kroll, head of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerk, the ICC said that the company would be expected to pay health and welfare benefits to Rock Island employees due to their strike, as well as during the 80-day period it will be operating Rock Island lines.
The ICC directed the KCT to take over Rock Island routes in an emergency order issued Sept. 26, and has been working with railroad representatives on the
Railroads directed to provide service along another railroad's routes are compensated by the federal government for any losses incurred.
Meanwhile, T. Scott Bannister, a lawyer for the Iowa Department of Transportation who has been representing the DOT in liquidation hearings on the Rock Island, said William Gibbons, trustee for the bankrupt Rock Island Lines, had obstructed the way toward reservation of services.
Bannister said Gibbons had continued to raise questions and objections during discussions by union and management on resumption of service on the Rock Island and also had hampered the transfer of management duties by withholding important management information.
Jurors screened in fraud trial
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Jury selection began yesterday in the trial of 11 men associated with the bankrupt Progressive Farmers Association who face charges for stealing millions from the bank.
Attorneys spent most of the day questioning 61 prospective jurors from whom 12 jurors and four alternates were to be selected.
Two more defendants were removed from the list of those facing trial, leaving only 11 of the 22 persons originally indicted by a federal grand jury last

Phone companies face inquiry
TOPEKA- The Kansas Corporation Commission announced yesterday that it would begin scrutinizing telephone companies in Kansas to determine whether they are complying with state and federal laws.
Depending on the staff findings and the responses from the companies, the KCC will decide whether to hold hearings and draw up a "consumer bill of rights" for telephone utilities, which would spell out a uniform code for billing practices, security deposits and service cutoffs.
The KCC said current policies varied greatly from company to company and often were not specific enough. KCC has ordered its staff to study the practices of other companies.
The KCC staff is to complete its study and draft a set of proposed standards by mid-November. Telephone companies will be given 15 days to file responses.
Weather
Today we will be sunny and cooler with temperatures in the 70s, according to the national earlier service in Topeka. Winds will be mild and temperatures will defer from morning to evening.
The extended todes for Friday through Sunday is dry and mild with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s and lows in the 40s.
Arab prof faults U.S. companies
By HAROLD CAMPBELL
Staff Reporter
Americans should complain to their oil companies, not to other oil-producing countries, about fuel costs, a professor from Detroit of Damascus in Syria said yesterday.
Houssan AJ-Khath, professor of modern Arabic literature and criticism, told several KU professors at a meeting in Wessex Hall where he did not overcharge the United States for oil.
"The money Americans pay for gasoline goes to their oil companies and to Arab countries." This is a clear reference to the Middle Eastern countries for each barrel of oil is paid by the oil companies and is used to purchase gasoline.
According to U.S. government statistics, the current base price for oil is $2.50 a barrel, but countries like Libya and Iran charge more than $2 a barrel.
"Middle Eastern nations are now becoming aware that industrialization programs will be needed for their countries to survive the time when oil runs out," he
Al-Khabit said countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait used their profits to develop industry for when oil supplies become depleted.
However, Syria, according to Al-Khabit, uses its small profits to develop agriculture.
LAST YEAR Syria exported about 3,500 barrels of oil; Saudi Arabia exported more than three million.
KU is the third American university Al-Khatib and his wife, Muna Lalib, have visited in their week-long tour of the United States.
Kuwait expects its reserves to run out in the late 1980s, he said.
He said that despite increased oil profits, Mideastern industrialization would develop slowly.
Al-Khatib said they had visited D.C., and would go to Princeton University today and Harvard University later this week to learn about America and its culture.
Western industrialization with Western imperialism.
"The Middle East is in a paradoxical situation," he said. "On the one hand, Arabs want a degree of industrialization and the other that go with it. But the memory of colonialism by European countries and an Islamic religious fervor will make rapid industrialization."
"The Iranian Islamic revolution has pulled over into other Middle Eastern countries where the materialism and wealth would keep deep religious Moslems from wanting in order to
"Middle Easterners tend to think of the spiritual crisis of the West. Moslems think the West is a victim of excessive materialism."
"Middle Easterners tend to equate
"Missles will have to become more practical in their beliefs. The Middle East cannot afford to regress to the Middle Ages."
Al-Khatib said he thought his fellow Moslems should allow industrialization, though.
