Politician supports equality
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Indianapolis Mayor William Hudut said yesterday that the U.S. Justice Department was driven by ideology — not pressure from the public — in its effort to end affirmative action in government business practices.
Hudnut, who was in Topeka for a round of appearances and to deliver a lecture on "Politics and Religion," has gone to court resisting a Justice Department order attempting to halt a court-imposed legislative action program in police and fire department hirings and promotions.
"Our's is an effort to increase the number of women and minorities in our police and fire departments." Hudnut told a news conference.
"I would prefer we have goals and guidelines to do that. They (the Justice Department) say we have a race and sex-conscious policy."
Hudnut, a Republican, said his city was only continuing a policy dictated by the federal government when Jimmy Carter was president. Under Ronald Reagan, Hudnut charged, "The Justice Department has done a
180-degree flipflop."
"Mr. Meese and Brad Reynolds have decided they are going to impose their conservative philosophy on America," Hudnut said. "I think what they are doing is wrong — legally, politically and morally."
Hudnut, a third-generation Presbyterian minister-turned-politician, also paid a visit yesterday to Dr. Karl Meninger, the 92-year-old co-founder and chairman of the board of the Meninger Foundation, a community service lecture in a series named for Meninger.
In his prepared remarks, Hudnut expressed concern over the mixing of religion and politics in this country.
"Government has to be the impatient arbitrator on issues, not an advenience."
He said he was "very concerned" about "one-issue" issue politics, in which individuals or groups judge candidates wholly on their stand on one issue.
Hudnut said the visit to Menninger's office on the foundation grounds in northwest Topeka gave him "an opportunity to express the love and affection our family has for him."
The Indianapolis mayor said he paid his respects to "one of the leading Presbyterian laymen in America," and discussed with Menninger the development of The Villages residences for unwanted and wayward youth, which he said "has had a little bit of a rough go in Indianapolis."
Meningner was instrumental in founding The Villages in Topeka in the mid-1970s.
Hudnut addressed the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce on "The Indiana Story," relating how Indianapolis went about revitalizing itself.
"We are trying to encourage downtown re-investment without discouraging suburban investment," the mayor said.
He said what worked for Indianapolis wouldn't necessarily work for cities such as Topeka, which still is struggling to revitalize its central city area.
"I think each city is unique," Hudun said. "You've got to analyze your strengths and weaknesses and build on your assets. You have to figure out what you do well and then build on it."
Defendant removed from gambling case
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One of nine alleged underworld figures accused of skimming $2 million in gambling money from Las Vegas casinos was severed from the case yesterday just before a key government witness testified.
U. S. District Judge Joseph E. Stevens Jr. and attorneys involved in the case would not say how the charges against Carl A. DeLuna, the defendant, were disposed. The announcement came just before Allen Glick, who prosecutors say are arguing for Army Corp. with money loaned by the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund, took the witness stand.
"The charges against defendant Carl Angel DeLuna have been disposed of, and he is no longer a defendant in the case. He will not be present henceforth." Stevens told the ury.
government has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt as to the other defendants," he told jurors.
"You are not to consider this fact when deciding whether the
The court session was canceled yesterday morning as lawyers for both sides met in the judge's chambers. The announcement by Stevens was made at the start of the afternoon session.
Glick, who bought two Las Vegas casinos with a $62.75 million loan from the pension fund, testified that Frank Renay, a fund trustee, and Alvin Barron, the fund's asset manager, both said he would need to contact Balstrier.
Glick testified yesterday that Frank Baldistrieri, the reputed organized crime leader in Milwaukee and one of the defendants in the skimming case, held strong control over loans made by the Teamsters pension fund.
Barron also said Balistrieri was influential in pension fund loans, Glick said.
Man injured by firecracker
The Associated Press
SALINA — A Kansas Wesleyan football player was listed in satisfactory condition today after losing part of his right index finger in a freak fireworks explosion in his dormitory.
Michael Bland, 19, a freshman from Diboll, Texas, said Tuesday that the incident started as he watched a televised football game with three friends in his room Monday night.
"I told them I had something to make them be quiet, but I really didn't mean anything by it," he said. He brought out a six-inch firecracker he purchased in Texas and ignited the fuse.
Bland said he tried without success to pull the fuse out of the firecraeker and yelled to his friends to leave the room because he could not get a window open.
Bland ran from the room, fell in the hall and said he remembered seeing a friend standing next to a fire escape.
David Smith, dean of students at the college, said Bland released the firecracker just as it exploded by the door.
