Tri-national troops to go to Lebanon
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The United States, France and Italy agreed yesterday to send a peace-keeping force to Lebanon amid world pressure from the massacre of Palestinian civilians in West Beirut.
President Reagan, in a nationally televised address, said the tr-i-national force would act "not as a police force," but to enable Lebanon's government to assume "full sovereignty over its capital" and bring "the long nightmare of Lebanon's atony." In an end.
He demanded at least three times in his short address that, "I Israel must withdraw from West Beirut" or it will grow "ever more deeply and that are not its own and which it cannot solve."
Referring to the slaughter of as many as 1,000 Palestinians in two refuge camps, Reagan said, "The cycle of massacre upon massacre must end."
U. S. officials said the new peace-keeping force will be sent only if Israel approves. The Israeli government has ordered Secretary of State George Shalki, via Ambassador Moshe Arens, set a meeting for today.

The President can send troops into an area for up to 30 days, but for any longer stay, congressional approval is necessary and it is required that 30 troops will be needed for more than 30 days.
The U.S. Marines performed a limited role last time they went into Lebanon, staying only 16 days of the 30-day mandate and never moving short, where there was little contact with Lebanese.
Calls for their return grew more frequent during the past week with the assassination of Lebanese President-elect Bechir Gemayel Sept. 14, the Israeli invasion of West Berlin the following morning and the Palestinian massacre, which began on Thursday.
French President Francois Mitterrand said the three nations agreed to send back the troops for a limited time because plans to dispatch 2,000 French soldiers, if forces could not be put into effect quickly.
Egypt, expressing outrage over the killing,
"urgently," withdrew Ambassador Sasq Muju
rtaida from Israel and appealed to the United States and other world powers to force Israel out of the country.
Egypt is the only Arab country to maintain diplomatic relations with Israel.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the recall was "an expression of resentment" at Israeli actions, but he emphasized that diplomatic relations remained.
Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev charged that the United States must share in the blame for the "rivers of blood" created by the Palestinian massacre.
Word of the redeployment of peace-keeping forces came as relief workers at West Beirut's Sabra and Chattai Palestinian refugee camps, scenes of the mass slayings by Lebanese Christian militants, pulled 150 bodies out from the defences. The militants are allies with Israel.
Red Cress worker Moumir Kamal Arakli said the ambulance crews estimated the final death toll would reach 1,500. Col. Marcel Priche, chief surgeon of the Lebanon Army and highest official at the scene, said the final death toll would exceed 1,000.
Israeli newspapers yesterday called on Defense Minister Ariel Sharif to resign and take
responsibility for the massacre of Palestinians in Beirut. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse rock-throwing Arab demonstrators angered by the killings.
Palestinians on the occupied West Bank burned tires, unfurried Palestine Liberation Organization flags and hurled stones to protest the massacre.

Rail strike may hurt Lawrence firms
By MATTHEW SCHOFIELD Staff Reporter
A prolonged nationwide rail strike will hurt some Lawrence companies, several Lawrence businesses.
In an effort to solve the problem, President Reagan yesterday asked Congress to impose a settlement on the 25,000 striking engineers to be released, some of which are already being fell locally.
Joel Jacobs, manager of FMC Corporation,
Ninth and Maple streets, said his company
"would probably have to shut down operations
if it lasted several weeks."
Jacobs said the strike would hurt his company because it imported its raw materials and shipped about 25 percent of its product by truck. The company truck was about 25 percent more expensive.
Effects of the strike would not be felt for about ten days, he said, because the company had enough materials stored to produce for that long.
Bruce Krebbel, grain manager of Lawrence Farmers Co-op Association, 20th Street and Moodie Road, said his business would be fine — until the corn harvest started getting more earth.
The Co-op uses trains to transport its grains because trains are much larger than trucks, he said. If they had to use trucks for shipping, the grain elevator would fill very quickly.
"It's slowed down the speed we can get things out of here," he said. "But corn harvest is just starting. It's not going to make any real difference." And this week, last past the fire station a couple of blocks away."
"You can't move grain fast enough by truck." he said.
Jim Evans/KANSAN Rusty Morris, left, and Gene Frohoff, both of Kansas City, Kan., picked outside the Sante Fe depot in east Lawrence as part of the national railroad engineer's strike. The two stood in front of the depot from 4 a.m. to 5 p.m. yesterday.
Lyman Wiles, *president of Jim Clark Motors*, 212 W. 29 St. Terrace, said their cars were sent by rail to Kansas City, Mo., and by truck from there. The rail strike would not begin for four or five days because of the backlog waiting to be trucked from Kansas City, he said.
"If the strike goes on after Friday it will hurt us, he said. "It's hard to say how bad, but I think it's going to hurt."
The strike, now in its third day, would also take its toll on engineers, many of whom are wishing for a quick end, said two members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers picketing outside the Santa Fe train depot 413 E. Seventh St.
Gene Frohoff and Rusty Morris, Santa Fe Railroad engineers from Kansas City, Kan, were picketing the Lawrence depot yesterday and said they were striking to get rid of a no-strike clause in their contracts, but they would rather go back to work.
soon." Roheffo said. "Strikes always hurt, but we'll stay out here as long as the Brotherhood tells us to."
Frohoff, who has been working on the railroad since 1948 and has been an engineer since 1966, said he had been on strike twice
"We're hoping that the strike is going to end

Delay with bank records slows bus system case
Staff Reporter
Delays in obtaining bank records may slow a police investigation into a case involving at least $20,000 missing from the KU bus system, despite a district attorney Harry Warren said yesterday.
Steve McMurry, the student transportation coordinator in charge of the bus system, KU on Wheels, was arrested last week on three charges of felony theft in the incident. The 27-year-old student senator also faces three counts of misdemeanor theft.
As transportation coordinator, McMurray had overseen deposits and expenditures of bus operations.
WARREN SAID that police were continuing to investigate bus system activities before 1981. He said, however, that officials from University State Bank had had problems obtaining records of old accounts. Those accounts, said John Patterson, University comptroller, were not held by the Senate and may have been connected with the missing funds.
"The accounts they are investigating are definitely not University accounts." Patterson said. "I have given a letter to the KU police department in that effect."
Senate bank accounts, along with funds from other student organizations, are held with the university.
BANK OFFICIALS told police at the beginning of the investigation that it might take as long as three weeks to get the bank records out of storage. Warren said.
McMurry is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Douglas County District Court. But Warren said the scheduled appearance would probably be delayed pending receipt of those bank statements and completion of the investigation.
"I can't say for sure right now that that will happen," he said. "It depends upon more information."
MCMURRY, as transportation coordinator, was in charge of delivering bus system money to Patterson. According to KU administration, he works for the $85 bus passen sold in the Kansas Union.
Patterson said he was not previously aware of any impropties that may have occurred with the machine.
"I treat them just as we treat all other student
groups," he said. "There was no way I would have known."
IN A RELATED matter, David Adkins, student body president, said yesterday that McMurry, as transportation coordinator, may have been "very conservative" in his estimate of the amount of bus passes to be sold this semester.
Adkins said yesterday that, according to figures he had received, bus pass sales would surpass 4,000 this season. And spring bus pass numbers did not certainly surpass the number sold in the fall.
But McMurray, Adkins said, apparently ordered many more bus passes than he expected would be sold and possibly as many as 13,000 in all.
IN HIS RUDGET submitted in August to the Senate, McMurry estimated that only 5,300 bus passes would be bought during the fall, spring and summer semesters. The estimates, McMurry said last week, were based on bus pass sales during previous semesters.
McMurry declined to comment.
"Based on his budget projection and information we have received, it appears that Steve was very conservative in his estimate," Adkins said. "I can't explain why it is that way."
Although University Printing officials last night could not say how many bus passes were printed last semester, Hiram Stockwell, printing manager at McMurry University, requested by McMurry changed each semester.
THE STUDENT SENATE, which meets tonight in the Kansas Union, will discuss problems with the bus system's transportation board, Adkins said, including a possible audit of the Lawrence Bus Co. that he said was necessary.
The Lawrence Bus Co. is contracted by the
school to provide bus service for the KU on
Wheels.
But Adkins said, however, that there was "no reason to believe any wrongdoing of any kind has taken place within the Lawrence Bus Company."
"It's not part of any criminal investigation," he said.
The Senate's contract with the bus company also allows for the audit, Adkins said. If an audit is approved, it will be conducted by an outside firm, David Ambirie, vice chancellor for student affairs.
"THE OUTSIDE audit was a decision of the University auditors," Ambler said.
Candidate stresses schools, economy
Sam Hardage
Editor's note: This is the ninth in a series of interviews with candidates for local, state and municipal elections.
Today's interview is with Republican Sam Hardage, who is opposing Democratic incumbent John Carlin in the Nov. 2 gubernatorial election.

FOR STATE universities to acquire sufficient funds to attract industry, especially high
technology businesses. Hardware said, they first need to carry out a spring cleaning program.
"There are many examples of significant cost savings through better management practices, which will enable our universities to continue the heritage of teaching excellence, while at the same time saving taxpayers significant tax dollars."
"I believe in order to meet increased funding levels that will be necessary for such a program, it will be necessary to get rid of waste, that we dispose of all our educational institutions," Hardare said.
ONE CONCERN Hardage shares with many college administrators is about the exodus of professors to higher-paying jobs in businesses. He placed part of the blame on Gov. John Carlin.
"I believe the decision of the Carlin administration to eliminate merit pay increases is a tragic error. We should be devising methods to increase incentives for those who are producing beyond the norm, so they will be encouraged to work harder on behalf of the state and university."
Turning to the state's economy, Hardage said卡里尔的 term of office has been marred by a dreadful accident.
"THE SAD state of affairs is that he has
presided over the greatest loss of manufacturing jobs in modern Kansas history." Hardage said of Carlin. "There has been a 7 percent loss of manufacturing jobs in Kansas since 1978."
Carlin took office in early 1979 after defeating incumbent Gov. Robert Bennett.
Hardage also said that before the state's budgetary woes could be mended, hundreds of manufacturing workers statewide would have to receive a call back to work.
"YOU DON'T let the tail wag the dog. If you don't have economic prosperity and adequate jobs, then it's clear you won't have adequate funding for state government." Hardage said.

Despite the obstacle of high interest rates, Hardage referred to the recession of the mid-1970s to substantiate his view that new business could be attracted to Kansas.
"It was steeper, longer and sharper than the present recession," said Hardage, a graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.
"But during that terrible recession, it was written that Kansas was an oasis of prosperity. We had two good governors, Gov. Docking and Gov. Bennett, who had been recruiting new
