Judge to hear liquor debate
TOPEKA-Shawnee County District Judge Michael Barbara set a hearing for today on a motion to temporarily suspend his controversial order eliminating minimum price markups on retail liquor and striking down portions of the new liquor franchise law.
Attorneys for the Department of Revenue asked Barbara yesterday to stay his order pending an appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court. The notice of appeal
revenue attorneys warned Barbara to issue the temporary stay immediately, but he refused, saying other parties involved in the action wanted be heard.
The judge's original order was announced Friday following a legal challenge to the franchising law filed against the revenue department by three liquor companies.
The practical effect of a stay would be to stop price cutting and return to the 28.5 percent minimum retail markup.
Some retail liquor dealers across the state already have begun cutting prices as a result of the judge's order eliminate minimum markups on retail sales of
Sinai issues solved at summit
HAFIA, Israel—Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin differed yesterday over the future of Jerusalem and reported no progress on the Palestinian question, but they reached agreement in summit talks on three immediate issues—Mount Sinai, peace-keeping patrols and oil.
one Egyptian president and Israeli prime minister, ending two days of meetings, announced agreements "in principle" on an early Israeli withdrawal from the area of Mount Sinai and on the quantity of Sinai oil Egypt will sell once Israel once lashed the Suez Gulf wells.
They also worked out a temporary arrangement for Egyptian-Israeli supervision of Israel's return of the Sinai peninsula to Egypt and inspection of forces, which under the terms of the two countries' peace treaty were to have been the tasks of the U.N. emergency force stationed in the Sinai.
The Jerusalem question, a key issue in the Alexandria summit in June, still stymied an agreement between the two leaders.
The two Sadat-Begin meetings Tuesday and yesterday made no announced progress on the slow-moving Palestinian autonomy talks among lower-level officials.
But Sadat said confidently that most, if not all, outstanding problems would be cleared away by the end of 1978 and that other Arab states would end their cooperation.
Abortion misspending reported
WASHINGTON—The government, in its first review of a state's compliance with strict limits on federal funding for abortions, concluded yesterday that Pennsylvania improperly spent $2.7 million on such surgery during a five-month check in 1978.
The Inspector General's office of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare conducted the audit of the Pennsylvania records from February to June 1978. The state has agreed with the findings of the report and has promised to meet the federal standards in the future, the office said.
most children or outer tethered fund abortions can only be performed in cases where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term.
Of the total improperly spent by Pennsylvania, $1.5 million was federal money, the audit said.
Pennsylvania was the first of 12 states to be audited by the Inspector General's office regarding the abortion issue.
Other states are Kansas, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Georgia,
Ohio, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington and California.
David weakens after rampage
The fearsome winds of a storm called David dwindled to a stiff breeze yesterday, driving heavy rains into the rolling hills of the Piedmont region of northwest Florida.
But in the islands of the Caribbean, citizens were still counting the dead. Buildings lay in shamplies on Florida shores and Savannah, GA, was scattered.
The storm was one of the worst in the Atlantic this century. It killed at least 160 people in a sweep in Dominica, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
In Florida, officials estimated property damage along Atlantic beaches at more than 800 million.
In the Dominican Republic, Civil Defense Director Pedro Justiniano Polanco said the estimated number of deaths caused by the hurricane increased to 800, including about 400 people who were in an emergency shelter that washed away. Another 300 people were missing and 3,000 were injured.
1954 school case hearing set
TOPEKA - The first step toward revival of a 25-year-old school desegregation case is to be made later this month.
U. S. District Judge Richard Rogers Tuesday set a hearing for Sept. 21 on a motion to revive the historic brown vs. Tynea Board of Education case.
In 1948, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in this case that a school district may not maintain "separate but equal" facilities for black pupils.
Rogers' order said the hearing would be to set a schedule for filing briefs and for hearings, as well as to decide preliminary matters.
Last month, a coalition of groups filed the motion, alleging the Topkapi School Board had ignored the original Supreme Court deregulation mandate. They requested that the Supreme Court reconsider its decision.
The group contended that the Topeka board was operating a school system in which black and other minority students received an education that was substantially inferior to the education received by the majority of its white students.
Stephan challenges devaluation
He asked the Shawnee County District Court to declare the law unconstitutional and to direct that farm machinery valuations be restored to their original level. He said this would equalize them with the valuations of other classes of personal property.
The suit had been anticipated since Stephen's announcement last week that he would appeal a decision made by the state Board of Tax Appeals.
TOPEKA—Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan yesterday formally his court challenge of a law that would reduce farm cultivation valuations 20 percent.
Stephanie had asked the Board of Trusts 19 APR to find that the farm machinery inventory was constitutional requirement for a system of taxation that is uniform and equal.
There was no immediate indication when the district court might hear the case.
The Board of Tax Appeals dismissed Stephan's request, and said that only a court has authority to rule a statute unconstitutional.
