Unemployment in Kansas rises to highest in 11 years
TOPEKA — The state's unemployment rate soared to 6 percent in August, surpassing July's 5.6-percent level and hitting the highest percentage in the past 11 years, state officials said yesterday.
The state's unemployment rate is the highest since June 1971, when it was 7.7 percent. Myer Zmyer, a Kansas Department of Human Resources graduate, said his job is "very difficult."
Of the counties reporting, the highest unemployment level was in Montgomery County in southeast Kansas, considered the poorest area [10].
In the Topeka area, which includes Shawnee County and parts of other surrounding counties, the unemployment rate in August was 8.8 percent.
"It took a long time for the economy to deteriorate," Myzer said. "So, unfortunately, it will probably be a long time before it rebounds by a lot."
A U.S. Commerce Department report said personal income before most taxes was up only 0.3 percent — the smallest gain since March — to an annual rate of $2.6 trillion.
Also, disposable income after taxes was up only 0.2 percent, and personal spending rose 0.7 percent.
Senate refuses to halt filibuster
WASHINGTON - The Senate refused yesterday to halt a three-day liberal filibuster that has been blocking action on pro-school prayer legislation.
The vote was 50-39 = 10 short of the 86-second-
Senate Republican vote against him and would avoid the Senate would vote again on a limit to the debate.
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., sponsored the legislation, which would forbid the Supreme Court to interfere with voluntary prayer in public schools. He and Ed. Bernard Kennedy D-Mass, had a short but sharp exchange on the Senate floor just after the vote.
Helms accused the liberals of inconsistency, saying they supported the Voting Rights Act but now are "piously" arguing that the prayer measure improperly would limit the high court's jurisdiction.
lessure it properly would know the right answer.
"That is basically, fundamentally wrong," Kennedy said.
Helms offered both proposals as amendment i to the bill to raise the national debt ceiling, a measure that must be enacted by Oct. 1 to keep the government functioning.
Argentine navy ousts top admiral
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Argentina's navy fired a top admiral who publicly called for an investigation of the Falkland Islands war yesterday, sending shock waves through the squabbling military.
Rear Adm. Horacio Zaratiegui, commander of Argentina's second largest navy base at Ushuaia which served as a staging area during the Falklands war, was ousted for committing "a grave disciplinary offense," the navy said.
The removal injected a renewed note of instability into the military establishment, whose junta of army, navy and air force commanders was disbanded following the crushing defeat by Britain. The military planned to restore the junta today.
The divisions within the military could weaken the new junta's ability to deal with Argentina's staggering economic problems following the country's June 14 defeat.
Author: KGB worms into movement
NEW YORK — Soviet "diplomats" who are actually KGB officers have infiltrated the anti-nuclear movement and participated in conferences throughout the United States, Reader's Digest said yesterday.
John Barron, senior editor of the magazine and author of the book "KGB," said that shortly after Leonid Brezhnev called for a freeze on nuclear weapons production, Feb. 13, 1981, the first conference for an American nuclear freeze campain convened at Georgetown Uni-
Two invited Soviet guests were KGB agents, Barron said in the copyright article. He identified them as Oleg Gad丹ovan, who flew in from Moscow, and Yuri Kapralov, who is listed as a counselor at the Soviet embassy here.
Barron said Kapralov helped inaugure a disarmment program at Riverside Church in New York and was warmly applauded when he addressed 800 Harvard students and faculty members. Barron said a Boston newspaper called Kapralov "one of the most effective speakers."
Show details Japan's A-bomb effort
TOKYO—Japan's Imperial Army began trying in 1943 to build an atomic bomb, but failed in part because a German U-boat carrying 2 tons of uranium to Japan was sunk by Allied forces, the project's director said yesterday.
Toranosek Kawashima, 83, a retired colonel in the Imperial Army, said in an interview that he was summoned by Prime Minister Hideki Tojo in January 1943, questioned about nuclear weapons and ordered to develop one for Japan.
A 15-minute documentary, "I Was a Spy for Japan," broadcast by the state-run NHK network yesterday, said Tojo based his orders on intelligence reports that the Americans already had developed the bomb.
The reports were received in late 1942 from a 12-member Spanish spy network in the United States, whose existence was revealed for the first time in the documentary.
"The prime minister commented that the war might be decided by atomic bombs," Kawashima said. "I don't think Prime Minister Tojo had any idea what they were."
Honduras blamed for attack on ship
MANAGA, Nicaragua—Nicaraquan sent a formal letter of protest to Honduras yesterday charging that a Honduran gunbob provoked a sea battle with a Nicaraguan coast guard vessel. One Honduran sailor died and another was wounded.
The letter, published yesterday in the official Sandinista Party newspaper Barricada, said a Honduran naval ship attacked the
The Nicaraguan craft was making a routine patrol 25 miles from Gracia's Dios Cape on the Caribbean Sea, Barricada said.
The message said Nicaragua was simply repelling "another Honduran aggression" when the Nicaragua vessel Dante fired 25mm cannons at the Honduran boat, killing Honduran sailor Abraham Lester Kattan and wounding Capt. Miguel Angel Guilfero.
German criticizes Spacelab project
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-A West German named to become the first foreigner to travel into orbit aboard America's space shuttle next year said yesterday that he believed the European Space Agency was not getting its money's worth from NASA.
UH Merbold told reporters he didn't think the Europeans were getting enough for their $1 billion investment in the Spacelab part of the space shuttle program.
Opposition leaders want to oust Schmidt
By United Press International
The parties decided to call a "constructive vote of no-confidence" in parliament Oct. 1 and to hold general elections in March 1983.
BONN, West Germany — Christian Democrat and Free Democrat leaders agreed yesterday to call a parliamentary vote Oct. 1 to outstance Chancellor Helm Schmidt and replace him with the late Koil, the Christian Democrat said.
THE AGREEMENT shattered Schmidt's hopes of remaining chancellor of his Social Democrat minority government, the member, when he began callings.
Christian Democrat spokesman Eduard Ackermann said leaders of his party and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union led by Franz Josef Strauss, and the Free Democrats agreed to instruct their members in parliament to "elect Helmut Kohl as West German chancellor Oct. 1."
mise by Strauss, who initially opposed the plan of Kohl and Free Democrat leader Hans-Dietrich Genscher to hold elections early next year.
Kohl, leader of the Christian Dem-
ocrats, pledged to call general
election.
The agreement indicated a compro-
THE GOVERNNING board of the Bavarian sister party voted unanimously to hold elections before the end of the election, and said the date was not negotiable.
"In view of the impatience and indignation of the people in this country we cannot establish a new government on the basis of an election held in 1980,"
"We did not have to convert anyone. We held a sensible conversation together." —Helmut Kohl Christian Democrat leader
Strauss told a meeting of Christian Democrats that preceded a later meeting of leaders of the Christian Democratic and Free Democratic Party.
But Kohl told reporters after the talks, "We did not have to convert anyone. We held a sensible conversation together."
Genscher's resignation last Friday as vice chancellor and foreign minister ended the 13-year-old coalition with Schmidt, which helped Schmidt rise to power in 1974 when Willy Brandt resigned.
GENSCHER said earlier that he would be able to persuade enough of his party to vote with Kohl to give him the 249 votes he needed.
"The plan is that there will be enough Free Democrat members of Parliament voting for Herr Kohl to elect him," he said in a radio interview.
Genscher needs to add the votes of 23 of his 53 representatives in parliament to the 228 Christian Democrats to topple Schmidt and bring Kohl to power.
WERNER LUTZ, chairman of the party youth organization Young Democrats, announced at a news conference Monday the start of a campaign to out Gensher as party leader because of his support of Kohl.
But opposition to his shift of loyalties was growing in his party, many of whose members were stunned at the attack, and there was talk of a party split.
He said if the campaign does not succeed, he and many other Free
Democrats were determined to form a new party.
In another move against Genscher, three provincial party branches — the West Berlin, the Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein — called for a special party congress to consider whether 'o back Kohl for chancellor.
