Rhodesia may accept plan
SALIBURY, Rhodesia—Rhodesia's ruling whites have accepted Prime Minister Ian Smith's recommendations on the British-American plan to transfer power to the black majority, informed sources say. But it wasn't known yet whether Smith would demand modifications.
The prime minister will announce the decision of his Rhodesian Front's caucus in parliament in a radio and television speech tonight.
Smith reportedly told U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in talks last weekend in South Africa that he would report favorably on his proposals. But there was concern that he would be rewarded to Salisbury that he would demand that the changeover to black-majority rule be delayed beyond the two-year period which the plan reportedly calls for.
Thefts raise crime rate
WASHINGTON—An increase in theft pushed the nation's crime rate up 3 per cent during the first six months of this year, compared with the same period a year earlier.
Thefts were up in all parts of the country.
Although the six other crime categories declined, an 11 per cent surge in thefts and burglary overall increase in the crimes measured by the FBIS's Uniform Crime Reports.
The FBI figures are based on crimes reported to 9,160 state and local police agencies and have indicated that the number of crimes actually committed far exceeded the threshold.
Atty. Gen. Edward Levi noted that the 3 per cent overall increase was much less than the 4 per cent boost reported for the first half of 1975, compared with the previous year.
Lebanese chief sworn in
CHTOURA, Lebanon—Protected by Syrian troops and armor, Elias Sarkis was sworn in yesterday as the new Christian president of war-torn Lebanon. In a gesture of support, Palestinian guerrilla leader Yasir Arafat said he would tell his forces to cease fire.
Arafat said: "I hope the coming days will bring the beginning of the end of the agony of both our people, Lebanese and Palestinian."
Arafat didn't specify a deadline for putting his unilateral cease-fire order into effect.
Harrises plead innocent
BERNKELEY, Calif — William and Emily Pierle pleased innocent yesterday to the kidnapping of Patricia Harris, who is to be sentenced today for a terrorist bank robbery.
The Harris appeared in Municipal Court here, about a mile from the apartment where the Symbionese Liberation Army snatched Miss Heerst from the life she had known two-and-a-half years ago and held her captive until she swore their allegiance.
While the Harries were being arranged on a criminal complaint, Miss Heart was in a cell in the Federal Youth Correctional Facility in Pleasanton, about 40 miles northwest of New York City.

Radio club tries comeback
The KU Amateur Radio Club has fallen on hard times; it is without a transmitting station and active members, but plans are in the making for reactivation.
"We moved out when the KU Endowment Association moves in, and we've been invited to participate."
Robert Rankin, assistant professor of linguistics and former president of the club, said yesterday that the club had been disbanded since last year, when it was evicted from its transmitting station in the University of Illinois, Inc., (CUBS) building on West Campus.
"The radio club wasn't singled out by any means," Henry said. "All the groups were given notice in the spring that renovation work would be ahead of our own occupation of the offices."
MARTIN HENRY, property manager for the Endowment Association, which owns the Naval Research Center with a radio-TV film group and the Office of Naval Research, were notified to leave when remodeling began for the eventual Endowment Association offices to the site.
Rankin said that before last year the club had spent over $5,000 in transmitting equipment, including the main tower, which still stands by the CRES building. Most of equipment, which is now in storage, was paid by money granted by the Student Senate.
An amateur radio club is built around the station. Without it, we're lost." Rankin k
He said that many members of the defunct club had joined the Douglas County Amateur Radio Club, but they still haven't establish an amateur operation on campus.
"We may get a space to transmit from in Learned Hall, but it's in kind of a valley," he said. "We'd have to erect about one antenna on top if it be effective."
Richard Moore, professor of electrical engineering, said that some spaces were available in Learned. Moore is supporting a drive to separate space in a vacant room, which could be used as a transmitting station, he said.
"WE Couldn't PUT an antenna on the roof, though," Moore said. "It doesn't have an antenna base or any guide wires to anchor it down," he said. "We'd probably just put it at ground level in back and attach it to the side of the building."
Rankin said that it was essential to try to establish the station on higher ground,
What we're really looking for is a site similar to our previous one, like the one on the left.
He said that without the amateur radio club, an important communications link for foreign students attending the University of Kansas was broken.
"IN THE PAST, with ham radio transmissions we would "patch" into regular telephone conversations and transmit them great distances," he said. "This enabled us from Africa, Central and South America to have regular contact with their parents."
"I've been contacted by many foreign students and the dean of foreign students about this, but so far we've been unable to help them."
Pete Schumacher, president of the Douglas County Amateur Radio Club, said that ham operators were beneficial in many other areas.
"Our club has provided a communications network for charity groups along the routes of walkathons or bikethones they sponsor," he said. "We also provided the communications link for officials during the Kansas Relays last year."
Debate echoes pledges
Describing the President's approach to unemployment, Carter said Ford didn't take into account the human dimension of employment, "a terrible tragedy in this country."

"THESE AFFECTS human beings, and is insensitivity... it has made this a welfare administration and not a work administration," Carter said.

He said $50,000 people had lost their jobs in the last three months and "they are made up of people who don't understand."
Government unemployment figures for August indicated 7.9 per cent of the work force was unemployed, or nearly eight million people.
Ford said the way to spur the economy and create new jobs was to keep the lid on federal spending and let the taxpayers have the money to spend themselves.
He said he wanted an $23-billion tax cut and had recommended it along with a lid on the menu.
"IT SEEMS TO me that with more money in the hands of the taxpayer and more money in the hands of business to provide our economy will be stimulated." Ford said.
"I cannot and would not endorse the kind of programs that Gov. Carter encourage."
Ford indicated he probably would sign the tax bill now on his desk, to continue tax relief.
He said Carter had endorsed a Democratic platform that envisioned about 80 additional spending programs that would be much more in line with much as $200 billion to the federal budget.
CARTER HAS SAID in the past that he had no firm figure for the cost of the programs he advocated, but that he would have had better success if it was available without increasing taxes.
At his lecturer, Carter smiled as if to scoff at what the President had said.
"Mr. Ford takes the same attitude that in Republics always take in the last three years."
In his comeback, Carter said, "Mr. Ford is changing considerably his previous pledge."
"When Mr. Ford first became president, the first thing he asked for was a $4.7 billion tax reduction; his taxable income was $18-billion to $20-billion tax reduction bill, then came back later and did advocate a
"A PRESIDENT ought to lead this country." Carter said.
Carter said Ford didn't produce a single major program during two years as President.
Carter said Ford's position had been in line with Republican philosophy, which

Carter said had been to "pile taxes on low-income people and take them off the rich."
In addition, he said he would "increase production in every way possible," seek to alleviate and reform the burden of federal taxes and consider a program to have the government part of the salaries of jobless workers rehired in private industry.
HE SAID THAT such programs could cut unemployment to 4. 4 per 5. 8 of the work force within four years, inflation could be reduced and the federal budget could be balanced.

Because the nation's productive capacity isn't being fully used and because unemployment is now at 7.9 per cent, Carter said, he advocates that we don't kindle inflation.
Then came Ford's turn, a two-minute rebukal he used to go on the offensive by asserting that Carter again had failed to provide specifics. He noted that Carter was an insult to the president, Marksius bill, a Democratic proposal that seeks to cut adult unemployment to 3 per cent.

FORD ALSO SAID his tax-cut recommendations would help cure unemployment. The President said he could cut unemployment by keeping down expenditures cooperate by keeping down expenditures.
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an undergraduate education and a challenging, responsible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do work traditionally done by lawyers.

CARTER CALLED the current tax structure "in disguise to the country" and was approved by Congress.
Ford said that he was "not entirely" satisfied with the tax bill Congress recently passed and that he would have preferred another $1-billion reduction.
"If we keep the lid on federal spending as we could with the help of the Congress, we could fully justify a $23 billion tax reduction," Ford said.

But Carter said that the record showed that unemployment had been increasing, and that, against the background of bleak weather, the U.S.'s assertion of recovery "just doesn't go."
Ford said that his executive orders had "straightened out" excesses in the FBI and other intelligence agencies and that no legislation was needed from Congress. He said intelligence agencies "are now doing a job under proper supervision."
The United States has no national energy policy, Carter said, and he told his plan to reorganize and combine federal energy policies in order to maintain dependence. Carter said the nation should
shift to coal, solar energy and strict conservation "at last resort only continue with our current energy policies."
Carter said he would support mandatory conservation measures if necessary.
FORD SAID he had submitted the first comprehensive program of any President that included conservation and coal development. But he also called for in-depth research to increase production, and for improved methods of extracting and using coal.
Carter had called for the combining of energy agencies as part of what he says would be a comprehensive reorganization of the federal government.
