Kansans request nuclear study
TOPEKA-A Kansas Senate committee yesterday agreed to introduce a resolution to study the safety of the Wolf Creek power plant, in response to pleas
The Senate Ways and Means Committee accepted the proposal by State Sen. Winter Wint, R-Otawa, requestd $30,000 for an interim study of the plant
Although the federal government supervises the safety of nuclear power plants under construction, Winter said the state should be able to conduct its own testing.
Even if the plants are constructed according to all federal regulations, Winter said, he questioned whether plants truly would be safe.
"We want to know whether nuclear power plants are safe and if there are any inherent defects in them," Winter said.
The resolution would allow the state to hire professionals to study the Wolf Creek plant.
Eauptian reaction to Begin cool
CAIRO, Egypt - Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said yesterday that he "dreamed deeply" his first taste of normal relations with Egypt, but not to the extent he had.
"It is a great day for Israel." Begin told reporters after stepping from an Egyptian army helicopter that flew him to the pyramids of Giza.
Begin climbed the first few tiers of the Pyramid of Nephrem. The televised event was tinged with emotion because Israelis, in looking to peace, have said,
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat avoided the welcoming ceremonies, sending instead his Vice President Hony Mubarak and a few cabinet leaders to greet Begin at the airport. Officials said protocol did not require Sadat's presence because Begin is not a head of state.
Several government officials and Egyptian reporters accompanying the prime minister grumbled that the Israeli leader should have waited until the elections.
The news media, which is controlled by the state, and the public demonstrated little enthusiasm for Begin's 28-hour visit.
Air raid provokes Amin order
NAHOBI, Kenya—President Idi Amain made a surprise appearance in Jinja after an air rail dayed by Tanzanian jets on the city, residents reported.
Townpeoples at Jinja, 50 miles east of the Ugandan capital of Kampala, said Anim appeared and ordered panking people to return to work, shortly after the attack.
According to one witness, Arin said, "We have shot down the enemy." A second said Aimin vowed he would "teach the attackers a big lesson."
Amin also reportedly inspected damage from the raid.
The invading force of "Progenies and Haze."
The invading force of Tanzanians and Ugandan exiles also bombed an oil depot in Kampala, residents and dinomats reported yesterday.
Kampala residents said the city was almost deserted, fuel was no longer available and the market was almost bare.
No firing was reported from the western suburbs of the city, where the main force of Tanzanians and rebels reportedly was facing 2,000 Libyan troops.
Teamsters lockout cuts shifts
WASHINGTON - Thousands of auto workers short shifts yesterday as a trucking industry lockout of 300,000 Teamsters took hold.
The nation's two largest automakers, General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., said an estimated 48,000 assembly line workers were sent home early.
The lockout, ordered after the union launched a strike over a contract dispute, was expected to halt a sizable portion of interstate shipments.
Truck traffic in Kansas and Missouri was down noticeably yesterday following the strike and the lockout.
Truck traffic in Kansas was "really light, except in the coffee shops where they're doing a lot of talking," a Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The Missouri Public Service Commission began considering a plan to let independent drivers load loads over routes normally allocated by the state to meet traffic needs.
Acquittal prompts Nixon call
MONHOE, Lai - former Rep. Otto Passman and former President Richard Nixon congratulated him yesterday on his acquittal in the Korean rice-buying
"He was very kind to me during my tenure in Congress. I grew the red tape and go directly to him," Passaad said. "I think it nice that he still thinks of me."
Passman, ks, Said尼姆 telephoned to offer congratulations on his acquittal of charges on accepting $145,000 from Korean rice dealer Tongan Park and of charges on accepting $125,000 from Taiwan rice dealer Yuen Park.
Judge calls accident irrelevant
OKLAHOMA CITY—The presiding judge in the Karen Silkwood trial yesterday urged juries for the third time to disregard publicity on the Pemmons case.
U. S. District Judge Frank Thesis told the six jurors that the nuclear accident has no relevancy on deliberations in this case, and that exposure to news of the accident is not relevant.
Religious sect files complaints
WINFIELD—An attorney for the Holy Ground Mission near Wilmot, 18 miles northeast of Winfield, said yesterday the mission had filed complaints of criminal trespass and assault against two parents for the abduction of their children from the mission last month.
Audie Long, a Dullas attorney, said two members of the Kansas division of the mission filed a complaint against Thomas Davisson, Mooresville, Ind, and Betty Koch, Phoenix, for the March 5 abduction of Michael and Jamie Davisson, 22 and 21.
Cowley County Attorney Bill Ellis said he planned to file misdemeanor charges against Davison, Michael Davison's father, and Koch, Janie Davison's mother, who have admitted to being present during the abduction and the deprogramming of their children.
The deprogramming ended with a reconciliation between the parents and the children, and the Davissons went to Indiana.
Members of the Holy Ground Mission, an international sect, say they are the Anglicans and have discovered parts of Noah's Ark on Mount Arafat in Turkey.
Martha Halstead Chaffee, the former acting county fairgrounds manager, was married with depositing county pay-out warrants totaling $701 into her own accounts.
The money was intended for judges and exhibitors at the 1977 Sunflower State Expo.
Wife of sheriff is arrested
TOFERA—The wife of Shawnee County Sheriff Jim Chaffee was arrested yesterday and charged with 24 counts of forgery stealing from an incident involving the suspect.
The investigation started about one month ago following a routine audit, they said.
Setting the record straight
Randy Seiden, Fairway junior, was incorrectly identified because of an angry error as a spokesman for the Lawrence Jewish community on page three.
Judith Paltin, president of Hillel, a Jewish student organization, said, "We are facilitated with Hillel. He never approached Hillel about filing charges of police behavior."

Today will be mostly cloudy with a chance of snow flurries this afternoon and the evening. Temperatures will reach 40, according to the National Weather Service.
FARMINGTON, Mo.—(UPI) A fire whipping quickly, through a one-story boarding house on the outskirts of town yesterday killed 25 persons, including some state mental patients, and injured seven others.
Boarding house fire kills 25
The fire, which began at about 5 a.m., destroyed the Wayside Inn, which housed 13 patients from the Farmington State Hospital for the mentally handicapped.
Firemen from nine communities ran water lines from the nearest hydrant one half mile away at the Ozark Village motel, café and bostermount.
"We found several persons inside the door. They just couldn't get out," said Assistant Farmingion Fire Chief Bob Oder, who helped pull bodies out of the ruins.
THE FIRE started in the kitchen and quickly spread through the brick-and-
"All these people were up and around. They weren't bedridden. They all could take care of themselves," Bob Howard of the Missouri Highway Patrol, said.
Most of the dead apparently suffocated in the smoke. Two bodies were burned beyond repair.
THE INJURED, who were treated at the hospitals, included two firemen and the
Farmington is located 50 miles south of St. Louis.
The residents, awakened by a smoke alarm, were dressing as the fire swept through the building. Several bodies had on one sock or one shoe.
The most seriously injured of the seven was Glen Oxen, Flat River fire chief, who was shot in the arm.
of the survivors, 7-year-old Ralph Steinmetz, said he was awakened by a knock from behind him.
home's attendant, Dorothy East, who was in shock.
Larry Limmeyer of the state fire marshal's office and the fire apparently went to a nearby building.
"I PUT MY clothes on, grabbed my coat and ran out on the roof." he said.
St. Francis County Sheriff James Hickman said, "One person was going around and knocking on doors. They got him in the car and they got to pick his pants. He never made it out."
But both the back and front of the building were engulfed in flames, and Steinemitz, his
hair singed from flames in the ceiling,
escaped through a side door.
The Rev. Robert H. Babka of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, regularly visited the revered site.
"The home was beautiful," he said. "They had done a lot of lotering. There were never any complaints. It was not at all your typical idea of a nursing home—a hovel."
Nuclear bubble's threat shrinks
HARIBURG, Pa. (AP) - Engineers achieved a "dramatic decrease" yesterday in a gas bubble that has held a stranglehold on the island and disabled Three Mile Island nuclear reactor.
Plant and federal officials said the hydrogen bubble had shrunk to a much safer size and the reactor's temperature had dropped significantly.
"I am certain it is cause for optimism," Harold Denton, Nuclear Regulatory Commission operations chief, said. He said the bubble was showing a decrease in size.
the changes meant the five-day crisis has passed, maintained efforts to prepare for a precautionary evacuation of 25,000 residents still within a five-mile radius of the plant.
But the signals were clear. The situation had improved substantially.
Technicians continued efforts to eliminate the bubble completely, chiefly by the method they have been using all along; letting the gas dissolve in the constantly circulating cooling water and then allowing a escape from the water to outside the reactor.
