Searegation suit transferred
WICHTIA - A federal lawsuit alleging racial discrimination in Topeka schools was transferred yesterday by a Wichita federal judge to the federal
Judge Wes Brown was taken the case, filed by civil rights attorney Fred Phelps on behalf of a 19-year-old Carla Miller, and transferred it to the court of Judge Brinkley.
The suit seeks to force Topeca Unified School District 501 to implement a cross-campus busing plan. Philp has emphasized that such a plan is the only way forward.
The suit, filed last month, alleges that Topeka school board policies impose racial segregation upon Miller, who is black, and upon other minority students. The court said the allegations are based on evidence.
In 1973, 10-year-old Evelyn Johnson claimed that she had received an inferior education because of alleged segregation. She received a secret, court-approved settlement of $19,500. Information of the settlement leaked out in April.

Tellico Dam aiven Senate OK
WASHINGTON—The Senate voted yesterday to authorize completion of the multimillion-dollar Tellio Dam, despite the threat it poses to the tiny snail.
On a vote of 48-44, senators followed the lead of the House of Representatives and agreed to grant the $115 million dam an exemption from the Endangered Species Act.
The vote is a reversal of the Senate's previous position, and it could mean a presidential vote of the annotated bills in which it is included.
Work has been halted on the Tellico Dam, a project on the Little Tennessee River, for more than two years because of court rulings that completion of the dam would threaten the tiny small darter with extinction and thus violate federal law that protects endangered species.
The snail darter is on the government's official endangered species list.

The suit seeks more than $10,000 in damages for each person in the club at the time, estimated to be 200 oceloc.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States and the Soviet Union yesterday began what State Department officials say might be a protracted series of negotiations over Soviet control.
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Vice-
 Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynik, who returned to Washington Sunday to represent the United States at a meeting on the issue yesterday afternoon.
Debryn has been on vacation in the Soviet Union and has not been in Washington since the announcement last month that the troops had been discovered in Cuba.
Before his first meeting with Dobryn, Vance met in a closed session on Capitol Hill with members of the Senate Armed Services Committee for discussions of the Soviet-era missile program.
The panel also scheduled private testimony from CIA Director Stansfield Turner.
THERE WAS no official word about the bargaining positions Vance and Debrynn would bring to the talks, but State Department officials were told that anything to be settled in the first session.
Vance has said the administration realizes that the Soviets have had military advisers in Cuba for many years. It is the
recent discovery that 2,000 to 3,000 of them were organized as a combat unit that is a matter of serious concern, he said.
Key members of the Senate have been less restrained. Many have said the Soviet troops must be removed if the new strategic arms limitation treaty is to be ratified.
THE SOVIETS have largely kept quiet about the furor. Unofficially, Soviet diplomats have insisted that the troops are being trained in combat, users who have been in Cuba for many years.
They say that the Cubans have a right to invite the Soviets to their island, and that there is nothing in U.S.-Soviet understandings of 1962 and 1970 that bars
