Panamanians celebrate control
BALBA, Panama—The Panamanian flag was raised over the former canal zone yesterday. Hundreds of thousands of Panamanians marched in to watch the parade.
There were no reports of the violence some U.S. residents had feared, as a quarter of a million Panamanianians surged toward a zone airfield for a transfer ceremony attended by Panamanian leaders, Vice President Walter Mondale and some Latin heads of state.
The 10-mile-wide by 50-mile-long canal zone, whose existence ended at midnight Sunday, had divided Panama in half.
Under the treaties President Carter and former Panama Chief of State Omar Torres signed in 1977, the zone government also went out of existence and the islands were occupied by a military force.

Senate votes to cut pau raises
WASHINGTON—The Senate overwhelmingly passed an emergency measure yesterday designed to keep the government functioning and to revoke a 12.9 law that restricts the use of government funds.
The approval, on a 77-vote, put new pressure on the House to return from its week-long recess so that congressional action can be completed.
back to work—an action House officials said would not happen until next week. The House wants stronger language on federal funding of abortions than in the past.
It also wants the 12.9 percent pay raise scaled back to 5.5 percent. But the senate bill would cut it back if necessary and for $22,000 (bureaucracy).
KC,firefighters revive talks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A potential showdown between the city and local 42 of the International Association of Firefighters was averted last night.
The firefighters, involved in a lengthy contract dispute with the city, canceled a work slowdown set for 7 a.m. this morning and agreed to return to the
The slowdown was called off after the city council passed a resolution at the name of Mayor Richard Berkley. The local's executive board met for two hours on Monday to discuss the situation.
A slowdown would have terminated an interim agreement reached between the city and the firefighters last April after the union's three-year contract expired. Firefighters planned to respond only to fires and other emergency calls. Other routine duties, such as inspections, would not be performed.
The dispute between the city and the firefighters' centers on the length of work shifts and work weeks.

ST. MARYS- Under fire from a small group of citizens who claim they are over-protected. St. Mary's four-man police force is not nursing.
In two weeks, the small northeastern Kansas town will be without protection after what town officials say has been weeks of harassment from immigration.
Three policemen, including police chief Les Hutchinson, resigned Sunday. The only officer on duty has given the city commission his two-week notice.
City Attorney Jim Morrison said citizens had falsely accused police of assaulting citizens, had followed them around taking notes and photographs when they were in the street.

Chrysler buys industrial robots
DETROIT—With 27,400 employees on indefinite layoff, financially troubled CDER Corp. has purchased at least 90 industrial robots from a Connecticut company.
The $6 million purchase is reported in this week's edition of Metalworking News and was confirmed by Chris Speller spokesman Bill Steinem yesterday.
*They (the robots) don't displace people.* he said. "We've had them in other places, we have jobs that don't exist because due to deaths and retirements of workers, we just move the people to other jobs."
The new robots are headed for Chrysler assembly lines at plants in Detroit and Newark, Del. Metalworking News said.

Carter . . .
SEN. JOHN TOWER, R-Texas, sait, "I don't think the president is doing anything to show that we mean business . . . I think we want to be kind and patient and I am very low. We must be reshassed."
But Senate Democratic Whitman Alan Crandall praised Carter's approach, saying that the issue "points up the urgency of Senate ratification before the end of this year."
Senior Sen. Bob Dole, who has been critical of Carter's actions on the Cuba issue in the past, said the president had not gone far enough.
Kansas' Republican senators reacted coolly to President Carter's 20-minute address.
And Sen. Nancy Lancey Kassebaum, who has said she will announce her position on the SAIT II treaty soon, said that the steps she took to achieve the goal but that they should have been taken sooner.
Roy D. Laird, professor of Soviet and East European studies, said he thought Carter was "window dressing" in an effort to help his standing with the American public.
CARTER'S SPEECH also received mixed reviews from two KU professors.
"Because of faults in his leadership," Laird said, "Carter allowed others like Frank Church to get out in front on this matter. Now he has to play catch up."
R. Ron A. Francisco, assistant professor of Soviet and East European studies, also said he thought that Carter acted to bolster his image and the image that of the 2,000,3,000 troops in Cuba was no threat to U.S. security.
"This is just an example of the military game played in international relations," Francisco said. "It is a matter of symbolism."
