Gas price controls upheld
WASHINGTON—An effort to remove federal controls from the price of domestically-produced natural gas was rejected by the Senate yesterday.
But there may be enough strength in the Senate to win a more gradual removal of price controls, as advocated by the Ford administration.
The Ford administration contends that higher prices are necessary to reverse the decline of natural-gas production.
of price controls, as advocated by the Ford administration. The gradual phase out of compulsory mean higher prices, but the increase were not widespread.
Federal pay hike passed
WASHINGTON—The House yesterday killed an 8.66 per cent pay raise for members of Congress, federal employees and others, thus upholding the 5 per cent salary cap.
The cost of the 5 per cent raise is estimated at $2.3 billion, compared with the $3.9 billion cost of the larger increase.
The 5 per cent raise, which goes into effect immediately, applies to senators and representatives, federal judges, the vice president, Cabinet members, top officials, and the highest-ranking executive.
KC firemen vote to strike
NANSAS CITY — A source close to union leaders said yesterday more than half of the arrests were related to a major casualty walkout soon over the issue of navy port ties between Kansas and firemen and police.
"Total walkout means there will be no fighting fires," the source was quoted as saving.
The source, quoted by the Kansas City Star, said about 500 members of the 880-member Firefighters Union Local 42, met Tuesday night and "better than 90
Frank Shortino, union president, said yesterday the city could resolve the issue and avert the strike "in five minutes if they have to."
Hammer pleads quilty
WASHINGTON—Armand Hammer, one of the wealthiest oil men in America, pleaded guilty yesterday to illegally concealing $84,000 in contributions to the 1972 bombing of a Jewish synagogue.
Hammer, 77, also acknowledged an extensive attempt to cover the source of the cash after the contributions were investigated by the Senate Watergate Committee.
Chief U.S. District Judge William B. Jones Jr. freed Hammer with no bond and said he would set a sentencing date later.
Former Montana Gov. Tim M. Babcock pleased guilty last Dec. 10 to charge that he delivered Hammer's contribution, and now is appealing a four-month jail sentence.
Psychic's advice awaited
LEAVENWORTH-A New York man who claims to have extrasensors powers
that would allow him to move he would soon be able to say
where a missing Leavenworth boy could be found.
Assistance from the psychic, Philip Jordan, was sought by the mother of 8-year-old Murray Bacchar, who was last seen at a FL Leavenworth swimming pool Aug.
Jordan toured Leavenworth and the Army base Sunday. A city detective, who accompanied Jordan, said Jordan planned to center with other psychics in New York to find answers.
USAF to train Saudi troops
WASHINGTON—Sudiq Arabia will pay for a new six-year program to train about 30 of its technicians and pilots in the United States, the Air Force said yesterday.
The program, scheduled to begin late this month at Lackland Air Force Base, Tex., will cost the Saddles between $90 million and $100 million, the Air Force said. The new training program is one of the most extensive of its kind in a growing U.S. relationship with Arab and other Middle East arm customers.
The new program will bring about 100 Saudi athletes and 1,200 enlisted men to the United States to spend about three years each in training.
They will learn English, basic science and mathematics along with technical training in some 35 different specialties. The officers will be given undergraduate patrol training.
TOPEKA (AP) — the two principals in the KU Medical Center architectural contract backpack case haven't asked for plea against state's special prosecutor said yesterday.
Richard L. Mallow, former appointments secretary to former Gov. Robert B. Docking, and George R. "Duck" Docking, both members of the board, are among 18 persons indicted by a Shawnee County grand jury in the bribery case that dates back three years.
Malloy is scheduled to go to trial Oct. 27 and Docking is to go on trial in mid-January.
At a hearing on motions in the first case going to trial next Monday, it was revealed that the six defendants are engaged in plea bargaining.
However, Bennett said Malloy and Docking haven't expressed any interest in seeking to get their charges reduced in exchange for a guilty plea.

TOPEKA (AP)—A Hays attorney yesterday threw his appointment to the Advisory Committee on Statewide Building in shock in the face of Gov. Robert Bennett.
Simon Roth Jr, the attorney, released copies of a letter to the governor announcing that he was returning the papers with the appointment made by Bennett.
Roth said he had been removed earlier from the Kansas Civil Rights Commission "and I would assume that the reason you would apply to this case would also apply to the present situation."
Attorney rejects Bennett's offer
"In addition, I read with great interest your recent pronouncements during your Republican fundraising tour which indicated that you have been methodically recruiting volunteers who are Democrats from the various state boards and commissions," Roth said.
"In writing to you about this I am extending to you a greater courtesy than you extended to me since the first I knew of this news was when I read about it in the newspapers."
"Apparently your philosophy of government is that of the king and his subjects; you demand without asking. In the future I would suggest that you consult the people whom you intend to appoint prior to announcing their appointment to the media.
"Your choice of the partisan, imperial, political approach to government here in Kansas is apparent, and my refusal to accept this appointment should serve the purpose of allowing you to pursue that policy both vigorously and consistently."

Hours before the crowd cheered Franco, gunmen struck in three areas of Madrid. The separate attacks came within five miles of the city on Monday in the hour after the Saturday executions
Franco, celebrating the 98th anniversary of the start of the civil war that brought him to power, accused the rest of Europe of mounting a *leftist*, *conspiracy* "against" the leftist government and the wake of the firing squad executions of five men convicted of killing police.
From the balcony of the National Palace, Franco thanked the crowd thronging the Plaza de Oriente for "serene and virile demonstration of support," which he said made "amends for the attacks abroad" on Spain and Spanish property.
People hail Franco; terrorists rampage
A 22-year-old policeman died instantly, the officer wounded, and a fourth, who was severely wounded.
MADRID (AP)—Arms outstretched in the fascist salut, hundreds of thousands of Spaniards massed in tribute yesterday to Gen. Francisco Franco. But terrorists killed three more policemen in bloody defiance of his authoritarian regime.

He said the United States was seeking to fix minimum grain purchases by the Soviet Union over a five-year period with the grain to be sold at the going market price.
Ford defended the current embargo of further grain exports to Russia and Poland by saying an effort must be made to stabilize the sales.
While Franco spoke, shops in the area dropped their shirts. Armed police stood in truckloads and patrolled every street. Police helicopters flew overhead. Foreign forces were heavily guarded by assault forces armed with tear gas and submachine guns.
Ford chided Congress for its inability to develop an energy plan and its failure to
