Carlin opposes railroad plan
WASHINGTON—Gov. John Carlin told a Senate subcommittee yesterday that President Carter's railroad deregulation plan "will have a devastating effect on millions of jobs."
Carlin testified before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on surface transportation, on which Kansas Republican Sen. Nancy Landon Kassabee
The plan, which is intended to improve the financial standing of the railroad industry by encouraging competition, would ease the process of cutting back costs.
"We'd like to support their bill," Carlin said. "But it needs a lot of cleaning up."
Carlin said the plan must consider the Kansas agriculture industry's heavy reliance on the railways. The plan as written, Carlin said, could lead to discriminatory transportation prices for small operators and could centralize the shipment system, possibly dissolving the small country grain elevator system.
FDA wants sleep aid banned
WASHINGTON—An outgoing commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday he hoped to complete action on the elimination of methyrapheline, a cancer-causing antihistamine, from over-the-counter drugs before he left office the end of June.
Donald Kennedy, the commissioner, said the FDA was working hard to complete action on methapyriline, which the National Cancer Institute in April found to cause liver cancer in rats and mice. Methapyriline was used as an active ingredient in Sinemix, Excedrin P.M. and other night-time sleep aids.
Several manufacturers already are substituting pyrilamine, a chemically related but less potent antihistamine, for methapyrilene in their products.
He could ask the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to immediately ban the drug methyphrine or proceed with the usual time-consuming process for rehydration.
Kennedy also said the FDA was working to complete action on the synthetic female hormone diethistylestibrol (DES), which has been used as a growth stimulant in animal feeds, and saccharin, the only artificial sweetener permitted in foods.
Giant union formed in merger
WASHINGTON - The merger of two powerful food industry groups today will create a labor union with a combined membership of 1.25 million.
The new union, the United Food and Commercial Workers, will be the AFL-CIO's largest union and the nation's fourth largest. The union results from a merger by the Retail Clerks International Union and the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen.
The 735,000-member Retail Clerks and 520,000-member Meat Cutters voted to create the new union at conferences Tuesday and yesterday. The merger is expected in early June.
Only the Teamsters, the National Education Association and the United Auto Workers are larger than the new union. Labor observers say the UFWC could be the largest a decade from now. William H. Wynn, the former president of Retail Clerks, is the president of the new union.

The PAA said the planes would remain on the ground until McDonnell Corp., the DC10 manufacturer, proved the aircraft had no fuel. There was no indication how long that would be.
The agency also banned all foreign- operated DC-10s from flying in U.S. air, army and navy.

Nicaragua put under martial law
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)—President Anastasia Somoa declared a state of siege yesterday as an exiled Nicaraguan opposition leader in Costa Rica said the United States is indictively supporting Somoa and prolonging the bloody national rebellion.
Heavy fighting between Sandinista guerrillas and government forces raged in Leon, 54 miles northwest of Managua, and there were reports of continued battles in the south, near the Costa Rican border in a half-dozen cities.
Somozha that a state of siege, a form of martial law, would enable the national guard to make arrests without warrants and be more constant than longer than the 24-hour constitutional limit.
The domestic news media would be restricted and the movement of persons in the countrywide would be controlled, he said, and that he hoped the state of siege would help his government break a general strike and put down the spreading insurrection.
THE EDITOR of the Leon newspaper. El Centro americano, said that at least 400 Sandinista National Liberation Front guerrillas, both men and women, controlled the city and the airport after three days of fighting.
Journalists returning from Leon Tuesday said they saw a guard column of trucks loaded with heavily armed troops, escorted by two armored cars and a Sherman tank, approach the city. But the Leon editor said the column was having trouble penetrating the city's walls on Monday, where witnesses said the rebels had pins pinned down in a guard garrison.
A military spokesman in Honduras said that its army raided and broke up a clandestine Sandinista guerrilla training camp in southern Honduras. Eighty guerrillas were arrested in the raid and 60 fell across the border during a battle that lasted several hours.
Triumphal tour takes pope back to Krakow
Heavy fighting also was reported in the
KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — Pope John Paul II flew yesterday to the city where he served as archbishop after making an emotional call to resist asthetic calls to abandon religion.
On Sunday, the pope plans to celebrate a Mass in honor of St. Stanislaw, a Pole who was martyred 900 years ago in a dispute with either the church or state should be supreme.
The pontiff arrived after four crowded days of speeches, Masses and prayers during which he has hailed the devotion and unity of Eastern Europe's Roman Catholics and demanded full freedoms for the 30 million members of the church in Poland.
ON TUESDAY, the pope challenged the Polish government to respect "the cause of fundamental human rights, including religious liberty."
When the papal helicopter landed in downtown Krakow, thousands of residents of the city of 500,000 and the surrounding area lined the streets to catch a glimpse of him.
He said if the government did so, there could be an "authentic dialogue" between church and state, even though the beliefs of the church were metaphorically opposed to those of communists.
Yesterday a government spokesman expressed "surprise" at how much the pontiff was speaking on political matters.
Later in the day, the pope preaches against building the human spirit only on the basis of faith.
"DO NOT LET yourself be seduced by the temptation to think that man can fully find himself by denying God, erasing prayer and faith; or defending himself that what he produces on its own the needs of the human heart," he said at a Mass for Silesian Christians.
However, in an apparent concession to communist officials, Pope John Paul II is not scheduled to visit Mary, Queen of Poland, the church in Nowa Huta that became a symbol of the Roman Catholic church's struggle against communism.
Nowa Huta was built around the steel works as a model socialist community.

A STRIKE called by the rebels to topple Somoza's right-wing government and end his family's 42-year rule continued to parlay Managua.
When the pope was archbishop of Krakow, he successfully campaigned for construction of the church and laid the cornerstone in 1967, then preached at its dedication in May 1977. But the church's completion followed many political battles.
In Costa Rica, exiled Nicaraguan opposition leader Carlos Tunnerman said the United States is indirectly supporting Somoza.
to contribute to the fall of Somoa," Turnerman said. "We are not asking for American intervention. That same intervention in Somoa in power.
"We are asking the United States to stop helping him in any way," he said, suggesting that the U.S. government should be able to restrict its sale of arms to Somoza.
The 46-year-old Tunmernan is a member of "Los Doce"—the Twelve—a group of businessmen, intellectuals and priests opposed to Somoza.
