KANSAS CITY, Mo—City police officials declined to comment yesterday on the status of Marvin Vorn Kirk, whose dismissal as police chief was upheld by the judge.

KPL to raise rates 70 cents
TOPEKA (UPI) — The Kansas Corporation Commission reported a $1.4 billion electric rate increase sought by Kansas Power & Light Co. granting only 9.5 million, or 18.9 percent of the rate.
The rate increase will mean an average 70-cent jump in the monthly bill of residential customers using 750 kilowatt electricity, effectively by the end of the month.
KPL had sought a $3.80 increase in the average customer's monthly bill.
The increase affects 265,000 KPL customer in 282 eastern and central Kansas to 314,000 KPL customer in Emporia, Hutchinson, Junction City, Lawrence, Mahoning,帕萨特, Salina and
recoop its investment in the first unit of Jeffrey Energy Center, a $292 million coalified plant near St. Mary's that has been serving customers since July 1978.
KPL has been collecting $27.1 million in rate increases on an interim basis since last November, but only a quarter of that about a $3.30 jump in their monthly bill. Yesterday's KCC order makes permanent changes to its pricing.
WITH THE NEW $ 9 million rate increase, KPI will have received a total rate increase of $33 million this past year, a $25 million cut from KPI, a total request of $88 million.
The company also said it needed the money to defray operating expenses that had increased with inflation.
KPL CALLED for the rate increase to
"The INCREASED rate of only $9.9 million is wholly inadequate and threatens our ability to continue construction of the stadium." KPI spokesman Hal Hudson said.
The KCC's $25 million cut in KPL's request immediately came under attack by electric company officials in Toeoka.
KCC Chairman Pete Laux said most of the $25 million trimmed from KPI's request was a result of cuts in KPI's requested rate of return, the interest returned to investors.
The overall rate of return was set at 9.1 percent by the KCC. The company had asked for 5.6 percent.
BESIDES RAISING rates, the KCC order establishes a new rate design to make electricity used in the summer more expensive than that consumed in the winter.
By raising rates in the summer, when customers use record amounts of electricity for air conditioners, the company said it would be more expensive to curtail and cut on back peak demands.

RESIDENTS IN all-electric homes probably will feel the biggest pinch. The KCC ordered KPL to back on preferential rates for all-cut electric customers.
Trying to be fair to all consumers, the KCC said total-electric customers should pay the same summer rates as regular customers, and they currently pay less per kilowatt hour.
The KCC, however, will allow a slightly lower price for total-electric rates during the winter.
"In the past it has been up to the KC staff to prove that the costs of a commercial should not be charged to the rate-payees," the order stated. "In the future it will be up to the company to prove that a particular commercial should be included in the company's operating expenses."
IN A STANCE Louis called more aggressive than past orders, the KCC said. It was changing its policy on company and electrical load management and electrical load management.
The KCC directed KPL to do "all in its power" to hold down rising construction costs and threatened to take into account cost overruns in future rate cases.
The KCC also informed the company that in the future it would have to meet stringent requirements, in managing and forecasting costs, and in creating a direct relationship to construction plans.
