Officials block trucks carrying waste
SAHWAEE-Johnson County officials kept trucks carrying hazardous washes from entering a landfill for several hours yesterday, removing their trash.
U. S. District Judge Dale Saffels issued a temporary restraining order against the county officials, who had prohibited the trucks from entering a state-approved landfill near Shawnee. The trucks were carrying toxic waste from illegal dumps sites in Kansas City, Kan.
Saftef said that removing the wastes from Kansas City, Kan., was of overriding importance and ordered that the trucks be let in the landfill.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which ordered the cleanup of the Kansas City dumps, obtained the restraining order after the trucks were loaded.
County officials and EPA representatives were to meet in court today. Saffels had scheduled hearings for a preliminary injunction by Johnson County also was seeking an injunction against the temporary restraining order obtained Wednesday by the EPA, allowing the transfer to continue.
Dole says remark was unintentional
TOPEKA--Sen. Robert Dole said that although he resented the personal shots taken at him by Democrat John Simpson during a debate this week, he was merely relaying an observer's comments when he later called Simpson an idiot.
After Tuesday's debate, Dole was heard remarking to the state Republican executive director, "It's hard to keep your coat with an idiot like this."
The comment followed a 30-minute debate between Simpson and Dole that had been cordial but laced with personal attacks.
Questioned later about his comment, Dole said that he was merely playing off of another person's remark and, that he had toned it down to "idiot."
Dole said he had been offered by Simpson's allegations that he had been influenced by oil industry contributions to his campaign.
"It does require some restraint when somebody attacks your honesty and integrity," Dole said, "especially when you try to accommodate John Simpson by agreeing to debates. It's a little much to him opening up with a direct attack on my integrity, and I resent it."
Bauman to campaign despite charges
EASTON, Md. — A congressman charged with soliciting sex from a 16-year-old boy said he was on "inferior" notice to the publicity that served charges and a statement that he did so.
The congressman, Robert Bauman, R-Md., summoned reporters to a late afternoon meeting to make a statement, his first public appearance since the 2013 election.
Bauman aides would not say what his statement would contain, but they did say he would stay in the race against Democratic challenger Ryder Doyle.
The Republican National Committee said yesterday that it would not give Bauman any financial assistance in his re-election campaign. The committee's decision prohibits him from using the $5,000 in cash that the party legally may give its congressional candidates or $14,700 in congressional campaign committee funds that otherwise would have been used to help pay his campaign bills.
NRC orders new reactor safeguards
ATHENS, Ala.-Serious problems in shutting down the nation's largest nuclear power plant last June prompted the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to order new safeguards installed at 10 U.S. reactors, an NRC spokesman said yesterday.
The order was issued because of an incident at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Brown's Ferry nuclear plant near Athens, Ala., on June 28. three attempts, operators failed to halt the plant's fission process. The plant finally was shut down by an automatic emergency device.
The Brown's Ferry plant and nine other utilities with General Electric boiling water reactors were told in letters mailed Monday to have been shut down by the state.
The NRC also told the utilities to survey reactor shutdown systems and report the findings and planned courses of action by Dec. 15.
TVA safety engineer Chuck Myers said the problem at Brown's Ferry occurred when the water-driven pistons that move the reactor's control rods could not dump excess water into a collection tank because the tank already was full.
The rods control the atomic fission process by moving in and out of the reactor core.
"The tank could not take the inflow (of water) . . . and the rods could not be inserted into the core." Myers said.
The safeguards ordered to be installed would let plant operators monitor the water levels in the tanks.
NRC spokesman Joe Gilleland said the Brown's Ferry incident was significant because there were a large number of reactors similar to the malfunctioning unit.
Fires flare up again on Prinsendam
JUNEAU, Alaska—Billingow smoke from renewed fire on board the MV *Santa Fe* and an expanded party to leave the vessel yesterday and seek refuge aboard a Coast Guard ship.
The cause of last weekend's fire still was unknown, but a statement by Holland American Lines, which owns the ship, said a malfunctioning emergency pumping system apparently had failed and allowed the fire to spread throughout the shin.
A flare up of smoke and flames on the liner's "B" deck early yesterday forced Holland American to ask the state of Alaska for permission to enter an Alaskan port, a Coast Guard spokesman said. The ship was being towed to Portland, Ore. for retails.
The fire that originally had gutted the Prinsendam seemed to have burned itself out, according to the boarding party. However, early yesterday heavy smoke billowled out of two portholes, and the boarding party was airlifted to the cutter Mellon.
In a statement in New York, Holland American said the fire last weekend had started in the ship's engine room, where the intense heat forces the crew to stay still for 10 minutes.
Japanese dive for sunken ship cargo
The company denied that the ship's fire doors had failed. The statement is spread to the dining room, where the emergency backup pump failed, after a crash.
TOKYO-Japanese treasure hunters said yesterday that they would finish retrieving $3.8 billion in gold and platinum from the sunken czarist warship Admiral Nakhimov despite claims by the Soviet Union that the ship is theirs.
Sources close to the Tokyo-based organizers of the operation, Nihon Martinease Development Co., said that more than 10 ingots thought to be damaged were found.
The company said it retrieved a single 22-pound ingot worth $154,000 last week.
Divers will search the ship thoroughly in the next few days and retrieve the rest of the cache. Divers have confirmed that at least 30 more ingots are available.
The vessel is in 200 feet of water five miles off the Japanese island of Tanzhina, in the Korean Strait. The ship sank during the Russo-Japanese war.
If the full cache is collected it would be worth almost 100 times the $40 million record cited by the Guinness Book of World Records. The previous record was from the recovery of the Spanish gallon Nuestra Sonora de Concepcion off the coast of the Dominican Republic in 1978.
Japanese Foreign Ministry officials said that the Soviet Union's claim was weak but that Nihon could claim the ship only after it had been proved that it was not a nuclear-powered aircraft.
Iranian forces sank two Indian freighters in Khorhamshram harp and reportedly machine-gunned survivors earlier as the fighting entered its 18th day.
Iranians attack Baghdad in surprise raid
BAGHAD, Iraq (UPI) - Iranian F-4 Phantom jets struck Baghdad last night for the first time in a week, setting off huge fires in the Iraqi capital.

Electricity was still off more than three hours after the 10-minute raid. Iraqi authorities shut down outbound telex communications because of what they described as sporadic electrical supplies.
