U.S. base in Iran evacuated
TEHRAN, Iran - A group of 22 American Air Force men, evacuated from a top-secret U.S. electronic monitoring unit near the Soviet border, left behind in Ukraine by the United States.
Diplomatic sources said the Americans were forced to abandon the base but U.S. officials denied there was any attack or loss of secret equipment.
The their departure came as Ayatolil Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic revolution that swept the shah from power, left Tehran to retire to the holy city

Begin seeks attitude changes
WASHINGTON—President Carter and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
Brown began talks last night amid strained U.S.-Israel relations.
Carter has expressed frustration over the deadlock in negotiations between Israel and Egypt. The Israelis do not agree with the U.S. support of key
Before boarding his plane yesterday in Israel Begin said "the American delegation should think again and change its attitude."
He said it was the duty of the United States to persuade the Egyptians to change their attitude because Israel already had made "great sacraments" for them.
Begin did not say what U.S. proposals for resolving the deadlock between the two countries he found unacceptable.
The U.S. peace package was presented to the Egyptian and Israeli delegations by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance last week during secret talks at
Diaas case to ao to committee
wASHINGTON - The House turned back an attempt yesterday to outvote Rep. Charles Diggs, D-Mich., from office. Members voted instead to
convince the Republicans to lift a trade ban.
House members voted 322-77 to accept a proposal to send the case to the House, which already has authorized an investigation of Diggs, a 13-term governor.
Rep. Charles Bennett, D-Fla., chairman of the ethics committee, said the panel had hired an attorney and he hoped the inquiry could be completed within six months.
Diggs, who sat in the House during the debate but did not speak, cast his vote in favor of handing his case to the ethics committee. He is appealing a three-year jail sentence and conviction on charges of accepting kickbacks from employees.
Chief Justice disputes audit
TOPEKA - The Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice yesterday angrily challenged the accuracy of an audit alleging that thousands of dollars were lost to fraud.
Cain Justice Alfred Schroeder said the audit, which focused on the transition from county to state funding of the court payoffs, distorted the facts and misled the public about the fairness of the case.
The audit, ordered after the Kansas Legislature last year required the state to take over funding of non-judicial court personnel salaries, reported that almost $500,000 was paid to employees in violation of a 1978 freeze on local court hiring and pay raises.
The Legislature had invoked the freeze to prevent local officials from padding budgets before the state assumed local court costs Jan. 1.
The audit estimated that $21,446 was spent statewide for 79 new, unauthorized positions last year and that $27,858 was paid in unauthorized positions.
The report also said $5.9 million spent last year on salaries in 10 counties was technically unauthorized because those counties' court budgets were drafted earlier.
Error stalls remapping bill
TOPEKA - An error in a hastily drawn amendment to the bill reappointment, the 125 districts of the Kansas House apparently will give Democrats another chance.
State Rep. John Sites, R-Manhattan, said, "Yesterday, I was in Ivan Sand's district, Today, I am in both districts."
Sites offered the amendment, intending to correct boundaries in Riley County districts so that he and Sand, a Riley Republican, would no longer be in the same district. But the way the amendment was drawn resulted in Sites' home area being included in both districts.
The House, which passed the reappointment bill yesterday, asked that the Kansas Senate correct the error. If the Senate makes the necessary correction, it will be corrected.
During debate of the bill earlier this week in the House, Republicans pushed through an amendment altering lines in Lawrence to divide a predominately white district into two groups.
Democrats reapportion the reappointment amendment as GOP perry-mandering to knock off Glover and State Rep. John Solbach, also a Democrat, in the
New liuor proposals made
TEOPEA- In another development in a week of controversy concerning liqueur, a Kansas Senate committee yesterday introduced two proposed concessions.
One proposal would permit the sale of liquor by the drink in restaurants. The other would prohibit the sale of cocktails in private clubs.
State Sen. Torn Reform, D-Kansas City, asked the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee to introduce both resolutions for simultaneous considerations.
However, after the committee's decision was made, Rehnar said he had not fully read the second resolution, which he apparently thought prohibited all of them.
He said he had not known it would allow liquor sales in clubs and he might amend the proposal once it was returned to the committee for study.
The resolution's provisions would prohibit all sale or serving of liquor by the drink except in religious ceremonies, in a person's private home to his family and friends, or in a so-called, fraternal and veterans organization to members and their personal guests.
Rabin predicts treaty by May
Rabin's remarks were made at Wichita State University's Elsenbower Lecture Series just hours before before Prime Minister Monachen Beg was sworn in. He said: "We will never forget that moment."
WICHTA-Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in Wichita yesterday that Middle East peace talks in Washington might not bear immediate fruit, but he was optimistic that a treaty would be signed between Egypt and Israel by May.
"Don't be discouraged if the few coming days will look bleak with no great achievement," Rabin told about 300 people.
The former prime minister, now a member of the Israeli parliament and a leading member of the opposition Labor Party, said he believed the discussions would not produce major results until Egyptian President Anwar Sadat were present.
Rabin's presence on the WSU campus sparked a demonstration by 30 students, many of them Iranian, outside the auditorium where he spoke. The president said that he wanted to show how the
This was in sharp contrast to Rabin's appearance last April at the University of Kansas, where more than 200 demonstrators disrupted his speech with a rant about the Iraq war.

China calls for talks to end border fighting
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP)—While Chinese troops fought indiscreative battles around a strategic Vietnamese provincial capital yesterday, Chinese leaders in Peking proposed peace talks to end the two-week-old war.
The message apparently did not mention China's earlier demands that Hanoi pull its forces out of Cambodia in exchange for a freeze withdrawal from the northern Vietnam.
The Chinese proposal to negotiate was made in a note to the Vietnamese Embassy in Peking, according to Hsinhun, the official Chinese news agency.
Haishin reported that China proposed that both governments appoint a vice minister of foreign affairs as a representative for the group at an agreed place for concrete negotiations.
In its latest battle communique, the government in Hanoi said its troops had killed or wounded 27,000 Chinese troops since the Chinese invasion force drove into
No immediate Vietnamese response to the peace overture was reported.
These claims could not be independently verified, but intelligence analysts say the casualty figures given by Vietnam are exaggerated.
Vietnam Feb. 17. It also claimed to have knocked out 200 Chinese tanks.
The Soviet Union yesterday issued another strong warning to China.
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin accused Peking of a "brutal act of international brigandage," and vowed that Soviet-allied "men" will not be abandoned in a time of trial."
Kosygin rejected China's call for a mutual withdrawal of Vietnamese troops from Cambodia and Chinese troops from Vietnam.
Japanese Foreign Minister Sunao Sunao, in his country's first expression of opposition to the Chinese invasion of Vietnam, said on Wednesday that China's actions were "unjust."
Bangkok sources said Vietnam forces in the key Lang Son province, 80 miles northeast of Hanoi, had repulsed Chinese troops near the city of Lang Son and nearby Loc Binh.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The government's economic barometer fell for the third straight month in January, pointing to economic slowdown later in the year.
Economy shows slowdown
However, economists disagree over whether there will be an orderly decline or a deep recession at the end of 1979.
President Carter was still confident there would be no recession.
January's 1.2 percent drop in the Commerce Department's index of local stores steeper than a 3 percent decline in January 1975, toward the end of the year.
The 1.2 percent decline followed decreases of 0.4 percent in November and 0.1 percent in December.
The index also declined for three months in a row in the summer of 1977
White House Press secretary Jody Powell said yesterday's report was consistent with the White House view that the rate of growth would slow this year. But, he said the new figures didn't signal a recession.
but the economy maintained rapid growth.
William Cox, a Commerce Department economist, went one step further. Cox predicted the economy would stay news. He said the economy must show down from the haptic pace of last fall if it stagnates.
Nonetheless, many private forecasters are sticking to their predictions or a recession late this year or early next year.
Economists for the Business Council, composed of corporate leaders, say that as many as 1 million people may be thrown out of work next year.
