Israeli boats lift blockade; PLO evacuation continues
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Israeli gunboats lifted a blockade of the port of BEIRUT yesterday that delayed for seven hours the departure of nearly a half-million troops from Syria.
The blockade, prompted by Israeli charges that the Palestine Liberation Organization violated terms for the evacuation, was the first confrontation since the exodus began Saturday with the departure of 397 guerrillas to Jordan and Iran.
Five Israeli missile boats blocked the harbor after officials charged the PLO had violated the evacuation agreement by taking jeeps, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and women and children on the ship. Israel claimed the accord only permits the guerrillas to take along "personal"
The sea blockade began shortly after a convoy of Al Fatah guerrillas roared to the port under a shower of rice and machine-gun fire and singing the Fatah anthem, "My Country My Country." They were the second group of guerrillas to leave Israel besieged West Jeirut.
A third group of about, 1,000 guerrillas was scheduled to leave West Beirut by sea today for North and South Yemen.
Arafat was not among those leaving yesterday
Trial nears for anti-draft activist
SAN DIEGO - Benjamin H. Sasway, facing trial this week as the first man inindicted for failing to register with the new Selective Service system,
has been charged.
The Humboldt State University student faces trial tomorrow on the single felony court, unless his appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court in San Francisco causes a delay. He is appealing a federal magistrate's refusal to grant dismissal on grounds of selective prosecution.
Following a day-and-a-half pretrial hearing last week, U.S. District Court Judge Gordon Thompson Jr. denied a defense motion for dismissal of the charge against Saway, who was indicted on June 30, saying the defender had not been targeted for prosecution by the government because of his
Sasway, an outspoken anti-draft activist on campus, is one of five men in the nation arraigned so far for failing to register. One, Enten Eller, an avowed conscientious objector, was convicted in Ranokoe, Va., last week and ordered by the judge to register within 90 days or face the maximum

Police had made no arrests yesterday, said Deputy Louise Hedman, but area residents talked of reports that police were questioning the brother of a prime suspect. Police believe all the attacks were committed by the same person, but authorities have maintained they have no definite suspect.

Authorities seek escaped convicts
LANSING—Authorities concentrated their search in the Kansas City area yesterday for two inmates who escaped Saturday from the Kansas State Penitentiary, Randy Buford, a prison spokesman, said.
The inmates, Gury D. Mick, 31, and Joe B. Shoakem, 38, are serving up to 99 years each for aggravated robbery in Wydanton County, said Dale Leroy.
Buford said that although the men were convicted of an aggravated felony, they were not considered dangerous.
The search was focused on the Kansas City area.
"That's where they were from," Buford said. "That would be where the only resources they have are."
Bohannon said the two prisoners escaped by using a homemade grappling hook to climb a prison wall. The two were discovered missing during a

Swaziland monarch dead at 83
MBABANE, Swaziland—King Sobhuza II of Swaziland, the world's longest-reigning monarch since Queen Victoria, died Saturday, his son Prince Minister and Prince Mbandia Dlamini announced Sunday. He was 83.
King Sobhzua, known popularly as the Lion of Swaziland, celebrated 60 years on the throne last September in a lavish festival attended by, among others, his estimated 130 wives, 600 children and uncounted grandchildren and great grandchildren.
The monarch reportedly had been suffering from leukemia but it was not immediately known if he had succumbed to the disease.
Sobhuza's death is certain to at least delay South African plans to cede parts of its territory to the neighboring landlocked kingdom.
South Africa says the ethnic Swazis of the knqWane tribal homeland in eastern Trasvalai and the Ingwauwa district of the Zula kwa*z*u homeland belong to Swaziland and should be handed over. If the plan goes ahead, some Swazi people will have to become Swazilic citizens. At present the swazi population is about 650,000.
Swaziland has conducted an international campaign to win support for its claim to the territory.

Carlin says oil tax would prevent fee hike
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
KU students could suffer even further financial aid and budget cuts if the severance tax is not passed when the Kansas Legislature convenes in January, Gov. John Carlin said yesterday in Lawrence.
"It will mean higher student fees, higher property taxes and not having a realistic highway department program he said during a brief interview.
THE SEVERANCE tax, a key issue
Sam Hardage of Wichita, who is Carlin's Republican challenger this fall, opposes obtaining the needed revenue through any form of taxation.
in the gubernatorial election in November because of the state's $47 million deficit, is a tax on oil and natural gas production.
Although the state Senate defeated the severance tax during the legislative session last spring, Carlin said he was confident it would pass this year because of upcoming senate elections in 1984.
failure to pass the severance tax and the negative national economy forced him to ask state agencies for a 4 percent spending reduction in the budget.
Carlin said the combination of the
THE CUT, for which Carlin asked state agencies in mid-summer, affected all Kansas Board of Regents schools and forced KU to subtract $3,177,444, or 4.3 percent, from its general use budget.
At the same time, Carlin also en-
orced a freeze on merit pay increases for
them.
"All of what I've cut I've supported and I'll see that it will be made up for
when it is fiscally possible," Carlin said.
Future increases would depend on federal government decisions concerning student financial aid, he said.
He also said the tuition increase for KU students next fall was a Board of Regents decision made well in advance for more efficient budgeting purposes.
The decision, made by the Regents last May, will be effective in Fall of 1983 and increase in-state tuition from $342 to $452 a semester. Out-of-state students will pay $200 more a semester, as tuition will increase from $1000 to $1200.
