Carlin interviews 3 for court
TOPEKA-Gov. John Carlin finished interviewing the nominees for an appointment to the Kansas Supreme Court yearling. Carlin's interviews are thought to be unprecedented since Kansas adopted the non-partisan system for selective listings.
A Carlin aide said the governor appeared to be close to naming a new justice, but would not predict how soon it would be announced.
The new justice would replace Perry Owsley of Pittsburg, who retired for health reasons last December.
Carrin talked with former State Sen. Harold Held of Coldwater, Sedwick County District Court Judge Tyler C. Lockett of Wichita and Johnson County Judge John L. Kernahan.
An aide said Carlin "just wanted to see them face-to-face, to know a little bit about who he was considering."
Senate to debate immunity bill
TOPEKA-The Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee completed work yesterday on a proposed tort claims act that would end the Kansas tradition of court-based jurisdiction.
The measure is expected to be debated by the Senate tomorrow, senate majority leader Norman Gaar, R-Westwood, said.
The purpose of the bill is to enable those injured by the negligence of state or local government employees to sue for damages suffered.
The bill currently sets a $30,000 limit for each occurrence on any claims for damage. The limit would be waived if another occurrence occurred without harm.
it was the third April and period or the five year limit it
italicized that there will be an amendment to raise the financial limit to
$500,000.
The measure also creates three standards of liability for government actions, depending on whether the act is classified as an intentional wrongdoing, "gross mistake," or "oversupply."
Raise in park fees opposed
WASHINGTON—President Carter's plan to raise national park fees as much as 70 percent met strong resistance in Congress yesterday.
National Park Service Director William Whalen, under orders from the federal budget office to raise the fees, said 14 parks would have higher entrance fees.
Members of the Senate Parks subcommittee noted that the proposed increases would be higher than the 7.3 percent price hike guideline Carter has set.
Whalen said that the president's inflation advisers approved the plan.
Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Air, said charging new fees was a burden on families who looked upon the park system as an inexpensive vacation.
"They ought to be available as cheap vacations for people who can't afford to go to Europe, the Middle East or Japan or some exotic place on vacation," he
Trial for camp killings beains
PHYOR, Okla —The trial of Gene Leroy Hart, who is charged with the June 1977 slaying of three Girl Scouts, opened yesterday with the questioning of
Attorneys allowed five potential jurors to be seated and excused three others (one cause from a group of about 172 called to the courthouse yesterday). About two-thirds of those jurors did not attend.
District Judge William J. Whistler earlier dismissed three defense motions seeking delay of the trial. The defense had objected that it was not prepared.
Hart, 35, is charged with killing three girls from the Tusla area at a summer camp near Locust Grow, Okla. The bodies of Denise Milner, 10, Michele Guse, 9, and Lori Lee Farmer, 8, were found June 13, 1977, in sleeping bags about 50 yards from their tent.
MONROE, La. —Jury selection began yesterday in the trial of Otto Passman former Democratic congressman, on charges of bribery and income tax evasion.
Passman, T8 is accused of accepting $213,000 in bribes from South Korean businessman Tonsum Park and then evading federal income taxes.
Park, who will be the prosecution's chief witness, arrived in Monroe last night and said he planned to be in the city for at least a week.
The trial was moved to Monroe, Passman's home town, because of the former congressman's failing health. After being indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington last year, Passman was hospitalized twice for "severe mental depression."
Defense attorneys said they were unsure whether Passman would testify during the trial.
Amin plans military offensive
NAIROH, Kenya—Ugandan President Idil Amin abandoned his cease-fire efforts today and called on his army to "fight to the last man" in a major military campaign against extremists.
The Ugandan broadcast called on all citizens in the occupied areas to evacuate immediately before a major offensive is launched to liberate the country.
The Tanzanians, backed by Ugandan exiles and reportedly by dissident Ugandan soldiers, pressed on the town of Lakaya, which is 70 miles inside Kampala.
Amin's threat of a new offensive was a change from his efforts last week to seek peace through the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity.
Iran begins exporting oil again
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran began exporting oil again yesterday with a shipment bound for Japan.
However, the director of the oil company owned by Iran said the days of unlimited oil exports were over for Iran.
"We will export only enough to meet our financial needs," the director, Hassan Nazih, said.
He said that about 7.5 million barrels of oil would be exported this week and that exports would be limited to about 2.4 million barrels daily.
Mondale opposes budget idea
WASHINGTON- Vice President Wendle Mondale voiced the Carter administration's vigorous opposition to a balanced-budget amendment yesterday, saying that government needs flexibility in order to manage a sometimes contagious economy.
This is down from the 5.4 million barrel level maintained last year.
The government's economic responsibilities go far beyond developing a balanced budget, Mondale told the National League of Cities.
"Sometimes we need a deficit in order to stimulate the national economy," Mondale said.
"If you try to put that sort of thing in the Constitution, how would you write it?" Mondale asked. "Would you exempt times of war and international strife?" Willem said.
Correction
Mondale's speech to the 1,500 city officials was the administration's strongest argument yet against a proposed constitutional amendment to force new laws.
The date for the beginning of Elementary Chinese I and Intermediate Chinese II this summer was incorrectly reported as June 11 on page 8 of yesterday's *Kiddo* magazine.

The National Weather Service is calling for clear nights and sunny days through tomorrow. The high temperature today should reach the upper 80s with
Carter to Mideast in settlement effort
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Carter will fly to Egypt and Israel this week to try to remove remaining roadblocks to a settlement.

And Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
begint told members of the U.S. Congress that
he was against a trade agreement.
White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said yesterday that Carter would arrive in Egypt Thursday afternoon for talks with the Arab League to go to Israel on Saturday for talks with Beinin.
He noted that Israel had accepted U.S. proposals for wrapping up a treaty and said, "Let us hope Egypt will join the effort. Then we will have it signed." At the time, we may have the certificate of signing.
Begin said he would fly home tomorrow to prepare for the visit.
KHALIL SAID in a telephone interview,
"When an American president puts down all his stakes, it is natural that it has to have a positive result."
Egypt and Israel have been stalemated since November about the future of the Palestinian Arabs and other controversial issues surrounding the treaty.
HE SAID that Israel's concern had been that it must be able to defend itself against other Arab countries if the peace does not last.
The U.S. mediation effort appeared to be headed toward defeat after a series of meetings that started last Thursday between Carter and Begin.
But late Sunday, after their fourth session, there was a sudden reversal.
Carter gave Begin new U.S. proposals for breaking the deadlock. They were submitted to the Israeli cabinet, which voted yesterday to accept them.
The principal stalemate point in negotiations has been Sadat's demand, backed by the Carter administration, that a timetable be included in the treaty package for establishing Palestinian self-rule on the West Bank of the Jordan River and in Gaza.
An informed source in Jerusalem said Israel made some movement on that demand.

Vietnam disputes Chinese withdrawal
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP)—China said yesterday that it was withdrawing its invasion army from Vietnam after a 16-day war of "punishment," but Vietnamese officials said the army was escalating and ordered a general mobilization "for national salvation."
Peking's official news agency said Chinese troops yesterday began pulling out after achieving their goal of "dealing devastating blows to Vietnamese armed forces." It warned Vietnam against new border provocations.
Several hours later, the newspaper of the Vietnamese Communist Party, DhanDan, said the Chinese an-
nounced the censure to the real situation in the battlefields."
THE NEWSPAPER said in a commentary reported by the Vietnamese News Agency that China "is stepping up its military involvement in militarily destroying Vietnamese villages."
Intelligence sources in Bangkok said they had no evidence of a Chinese pallout or signs that the Chinese were preparing new attacks.
But the reports by these sources have lagged behind events throughout the largely secret war.
Some observers say the Chinese troops might be following a "scorched-earth" policy in withdrawing from Vietnam.
Others said it was not untry
nighting would end abruptly but would
wind down to small-scale border
skirmishes.
Even if a Chinese withdrawal took place, it would not end the tensions in Southeast Asia.
Vietnam's rebel forces scored a new victory in Cambodia yesterday againstinese-backed guerrillas and thefinnish moved closer to theTaiwan border.
