Nuclear reactor may be shut
HARBURSHI, Pa. — Radiation is divided neatly around the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant yesterday, and federal officials said they were ready to begin work.
The plant would be in cold shutdown after the fuel core temperature was towered from the current 280 degrees Fahrenheit to between 100 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Although officials are concerned about the durability of vital instruments inside the reactor, conditions at the plant remain stable, according to Harold
Denton confirmed that human error had contributed to the reactor accident. In Washington, NRC officials described three separate errors that contributed
The first error was that valves on an emergency pumping system—part of the reactor's cooling system—were closed when they should have been left open. Later, an operator turned off the plant's main emergency core cooling system at the wrong time.
Finally, four auxiliary water pumps were disengaged when there was no apparent reason for them not to be working.
Liquor-bill tax cut proposed
The bill would repeal laws requiring the nearly 1,000 private clubs in Kansas to operate liquor pools.
The Kansan Senate passed the bill without including a special tax on mixed drinks sold in clubs, but the House amended it to require a 10 percent tax on alcohol.
Five of the six conference committee members agreed to lower the tax, but they have not yet signed a report to send the measure back to the two houses for approval.
If the hill is approved, the revenue from the five percent tax and an existing gallionate tax on liquor would go back to city and county governments for future use.

Police fire on demonstrators who stoned the U.N. observer post in the Kashmir city of Srinagar.

Mother seeks execution delay

Evans was sentenced to die for the murder of a Mobile, Ala., pawnbshop owner who was shot at his store.

Whooping cranes to get refuae
TULISA, Okla. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced plans to build a $1 million refuge in north central Oklahoma exclusively for whoring cavaliers.
The multi-million dollar bird bath will be built at the Great Salt Plains, an area that is considered a critical habitat for the endangered species, Robert

Educational TV bill approved
**TOPEKA - The Kanaa Senate yesterday passed a bill that would provide more than $500,000 for the construction and operation of public television**
Last year, the Legislature committed $883,000 for construction of the Hays station. However, that money could not be spent until the station got a Federal Correction Fund.
The measure included a $20,683 grant for construction of a station at Hays, with a provision that the area served by the Hays station would raise $20,000 for station construction.
The Senate also endorsed a House proposal of $55,000 for operating support of a proposed station at Garden City.
Court OKs Senate district plan
In its unanimous opinion, authorized by Chief Justice Alfred G. Schroder, the court said the new Senate Districts satisfied constitutional requirements of "the rule."
TOPEKA-A The Kansas Supreme Court said yesterday that it would uphold the validity of the Kansas Senate's rule to reapportion its 40 districts in the state.
Unless some other court action is taken, the Senate redistricting plan approved by the court yesterday would remain in effect until the 1992 elections.

NIAIROI, Kenya (AP)—Tanzanian infantrymen and Ugandan soldiers in exile swept into the downtown area of the Ugandan capital of Kampala last night. Idi Amiir's cadre of Libyan soldiers fleeing into the countryside, residents reported.
Amin's infantrymen flee Ugandan capital
Amin's regular army had already disintegrated, the sources said. The troops sent by Libyan leader Col. Maammar Khaddafy to aid Amin, a fellow Moslem, were the only force preserving Amin's eight-year reign.
Sources in exile said Amin's government could fail in a few days or a few hours.
AMIN'S WHEREABOUTS were not publicly known. On Tuesday, he visited towns in areas he still controls in eastern Uganda, jovially greeting soldiers and
civilians in a four apparently intended to build morale.
The Tanzanian-Ugandan war began last October when Armin—who seized power in 1971 in a coup against President Milton Obangu—left the country to annex he land said belonged to Uganda.
Witnesses said it appeared that Amin had lost control of the capital on the same day his enemies launched what they said would be a final assault on Kampala.
A SOURCE in Kampala said he had seen the invaders running to positions around Kampala's clock tower, a landmark at a road junction a quarter mile from the city.
Observers said the Tanzanian plan appeared to be to drive Amin's forces into eastern Uganda, where they would have no way out except to cross into neutral Kenya.
