Soviet jet remains on ground
NEW YORK—In accordance with President Carter's decision, U.S. officials defied Russian protests again yesterday and kept a Soviet jet grounded at Kennedy Airport for a third day with the wife of a Bolshi Ballet defector on board.
sixty-seven other Soviet citizens also remained on the blue and white Aeroflot jet, which was due for takeoff to Moscow at 5 p.m. Friday.
The 36-year-old dancer's husband, Bolshi Ballet star Alexander Godunov, defected Wednesday to the United States.
Mittals said they were holding firm with their insistence that ballerina Liahui had not been asked to leave the studio in a "nontoxic environment" and asked whether she was being forced to go.
CARSON CITY, Nev. — Public defenders who gained a reprep, unwavered by counsel, prepared their response yesterday to a Supreme Court request for information.
The execution, which had been scheduled to take place today, was postponed Saturday by the order of Associate Justice William H. Rehahn, acting on an appeal filed by two Clark County public defenders and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Bishop said that by flying the appeals the public defenders had violated his constitutional rights and prolonged the suffering for him and his family.
Bishop, 46, was sentenced to death for the murder of a newbyed at a Las Vegas casino in December 1977. Thirty-two men have been executed in the city.
Bishop said he expected the high court to make the same decision as two federal courts in Las Vegas and San Francisco, both of which denied appeals to him.
Strikina teachers reach terms
KANSA CITY, Mo.-Park Hill school district teachers, who went on strike last for the week in the first time of the district's history, reached a tentative agreement with the city board.
Details of the new agreement would not be announced until the district's 500 teachers vote to ratify it. Members of the teacher's negotiating team said they were optimistic that classes would begin Wednesday for the district's 7,000 students.
The school board originally had offered the teachers a $10,000 base salary, meaning a nine percent overall increase, but wanted to give higher increases to beginning teachers than to experienced teachers. The teachers contended that the raise was less than nine percent and was unfair to experienced teachers.
Bundu to argue for new trial
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Convicted murderer Theodore Bundy today goes before the judge who sentenced him to the electric chair to argue for a new trial
Circuit Judge Edward Cowart has said he hopes to finish the hearing in one day. But he said he was not sure how long it would take to clear the motions in a court hearing.
The judge imposed the death penalty on Bundy last month after a jury found him guilty of murdering two Florida State University women Jan. 15, 1978, in their sorority house. He was convicted of attacking three other female students the same night.
Bundy, who handled much of his own defense, plans to ask Cowart for a new trial as the first step in what is likely to be a long line of appeals.
In November, Bundy is to be tried on charges of killing Kimberly Leach, 12, of Lake City, Fla.
Bundy, a former resident of Tacoma, Wash., also is charged in Colorado with killing a nurse from Dearborn, Mich. Mich. previously had been convicted of homicide.
Scientists await Saturn photos
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Mankind will reach farther into space this week as the Pioneer I1空间站背ends back the first close look at Saturn, a giant.
Scientists say the mission may shed light on whether life could exist on one of Saturn's moons.
in spacecraft, a billion miles away after a journey of nearly six and a half years, should provide scientists with a wealth of data and color photos as it will be possible to track their movements.
"The pictures are going to be spectacular," said John Whelle, the mission chief scientist. "We know so little about Saturn that everything Pioneer 11 is known."
Scientists have questioned whether the 586-pound ship could survive contact with the space debris beyond the rings. Wole said he thought the ship had about a quarter of its payload intact.
Hoqs, carcasses judged safe
TOPEKA-A quarantine farm on a Newton farm has been lifted and the crumbles of 50 cattle to an oxen chemical will be allowed to sell his hogs and cattle.
Kansas health officials and the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided Saturday to release the hog carcasses, which were being held in a meat packing plant in Arkansas. The tests indicated that the hogs had not been contaminated by the chemical PCB, which the farmer had applied to the backs of some of his
The cancer-causing chemical, which is used as a heat controlling liquid in electrical transformers, was present in a mixture of oil and insecticides that had been applied to the cattles' backs. Some hogs on the farm also had access to the oil.
Arson possible in church fire
JUNCTION CITY—The Calvary Baptist Church was destroyed by fire early yesterday and the state fire marshal's office has been asked to investigate the cause.
No injuries were reported and no inflicted damage element was given. Fire Chef Michael said 14 firefighters fought the blaze with two pumper "riggers" on site.

About 40 workmen were at the scene all day yesterday, using vacuum trucks and two oil absorption devices to gather the oil
The oil was impounded with earthen dams and was kept from reaching the Sac River or Stockton Lake, which is downstream from the spill site, Glimer said.
The EPA spokesman added that a team of state geologists had visited the site and reported that the creek valley appeared to be underwater. "My oil would oblitute the area's ground water."
Gilmer said most of the oil removal work would be completed late today or tomorrow, and other cleanup work would continue at the rural site for two to three weeks.
