Candidates offer hunger solutions
By MICHAEL HORAK
Staff writer
The local chapter of an organization that works toward ending world starvation heard three presidential candidates on Saturday talk about how they would end hunger if they were elected president.
The three candidates, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sen. Paul Simon, D-Dill., and Rep. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., answered questions during a
national telephone conference sponsored by Responsibility for Ending Starvation Using Legislation, Trim-tabling and Support.
Members of the Lawrence RESULTS chapter listened to the conference but did not ask any questions, said Francis Kelly, a member of the local group.
RESULTS is a non-profit organization that lobbies such groups as the World Bank and Congress to step up
and for ending world hunger, Kelly said. He said the group was not affiliated with any church or political party.
Kelly said more than 300 people in 40 states participated in the conference. He said all presidential candidates were invited to participate.
Kelly said that hunger had not become a big political issue in the United States because Americans weren't exposed to it on a day-to-day
basis. He said Americans didn't think they could do anything to solve the problem.
"We've grown up seeing it and ask ourselves, 'What can we do about it?' It was. "At REACH we want to help political will to end world hunger."
Kelly said the United States could end world hunger by using its resources that currently ship arms to ship humans to the starving people in the world.
Dogs shot to eliminate 'threat' to Reagan
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Two dogs mating near an airport runway at Forbes Field were killed last month by security officers who were told to secure the area prior to a visit by President Reagan.
"We did what we had to do," said Marvin Hancock, deputy director of the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority. "We were told anything that moves has to be removed."
A Secret Service spokesman said that officials ordered airport security
to take care of the problem, but he said that he did not know that shooting the dogs was going to be the solution.
Hancock said that airport security officers were combing the grounds Sept. 6 just before Reagan was scheduled to arrive in Air Force One. Reagan was in Topeka to participate in a celebration of the 100th birthday of former Gov. Alf Landon, who died last week.
Acting on orders from the Secret Service to secure the area, the office
ers first beat the dogs with heavy welding gloves to separate them. When that failed, they shot the dogs, Hancock said. The bodies were carted in plastic bags and burned.
Hancock described the dogs as threats to the president's life, and he said that they might have run onto the pavement and interfered with the
Ronald Oldham, a Federal Aviation Administration representative, said that if a 707 and a dog tangled, it was highly improbable that the plane
would suffer much. But he said that it certainly wouldn't do the dog any good.
Had he not ordered his men to shoot the dogs, Hancock said, Air Force One probably wouldn't have landed. "The president's plane would've been waved on, and he would've gone on to Washington and never even come to Topake," he said. "And then how would've people felt?"
