Gas rationing plan proposed
WASHINGTON—The Carter administration proposed a standby gasoline rationing plan yesterday that assigns no specific amount to individuals and businesses.
The fuel conservation plan, made public by the Energy Department, proposes to ration gasoline by mailing gasoline allotment "checks" to owners of registered vehicles. These could then be "cashed in" for ration coupons at banks or other institutions.
The proposal will be submitted tomorrow to Congress, which then has 60 days to approve or disapprove it. The plan could not take effect unless the president declared a national energy emergency and won approval for the plan's implementation in both the House and Senate.
The plan assigns no specific amounts. This determination would be made when necessary, depending on the availability of gas and the best estimates of
Besides the gasoline rationing plan, the proposal includes provisions for fuel-saving actions such as restricting gasoline sales on weekends, restricting temperatures in commercial and public buildings and restricting unnecessary advertising lighting.
Under a law passed by Congress in 1975, the president was required to submit such standby fuel conservation plans to the lawmakers.
China reports Viet invasions
BANGKOK, Thailand—China reported yesterday that Vietnamese troops launched several counter-invasions into Chinese territory in the past few days,
Intelligence sources said China appeared to show no intention of withdrawing from Vietnam and had even moved to reinforce its troops along Vietnam's northeastern front, where some of the Vietnamese incursions reportedly took place.
In his blunted comment on the 10-day conflict, President Carter yesterday asked China to undertake "a speedy withdrawal" from Vietnam. The request was in a message given to top Chinese leaders by Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal, who is visiting Peking.
In Washington, Carter said at a news conference that he had made known to the Chinese his "firm disapproval" of their invasion but said it would be more difficult for them to do so.
The Vietnamese, meanwhile, they wiped out 2,000 Chinese soldiers in four days, 800 of them on Monday in clashes along the northeastern coastal coast.
Budget goal receives support
WASHINGTON—The nation's governors yesterday affirmed their support of President Carter's declared goal of balancing the federal budget by 1801.
Leaders at the National Governors Association also offered to pass on cost-cutting tips from their respective states to Carter.
That move was considerably short of calling for a constitutional amendment that would require the federal government to balance its budget except in certain areas.
California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr., among others, came to Washington pushing that idea. However, many governors feared that such a push would be asking for trouble, such as a congressional cutoff of the $2.25 billion the states are eligible to get from revenue sharing.
Farmers told to vacate Mall
WASHINGTON-Police were protecting farmers a deadline of midnight tonight for most of them to vacate the Mall where they have been camped for them.
Following an afternoon negotiating session yesterday, police officials said that 50 tractors could remain on the side streets near the Capitol, but that some 500 other vehicles would have to be moved when the farmers' permit to use the Mall expired tonight.
Stan Mattack of Hutchinson, a spokesman for the American Agriculture Movement, said the farmers did not want to move from their position on the land.
The ban is tighter than one issued Friday night a White House demonstration by 197 tractors, in which four farmers were arrested and a goat was killed.
Meanwhile, President Carter said during a nationally televised news conference yesterday that the farmers had a right to protest and "they are free."
He also said there is "no possibility, in my opinion," that Congress would go along with the farmers' demands for substantially increased federal help in
House gets new spending bill
TOPEKA-Gov. John Carlin's substitute spending lid proposal was in Tuesday in the Kansas House, but the house speaker said it would be draconiously
The bill, a substitute for a spending lid measure vetooed by Carlin last week, will be considered today by the House Ways and Means Committee.
House Speaker Wendell Ladyl, R-Overland Park, notified Carlin that his spending bill had been introduced, but warned that the action should not be delayed.
"Rather, it is an indication of a good faith effort to reach a compromise on a spending lia law which would be acceptable to both the legislative and judicial branches."
Lady again said the Republican majority had no intention of supporting Carlin's proposal unless it was amended to include some items in the earlier bill.
These include limiting the increase in spending in any year to 7 percent and providing for a year end balance in the state general fund equal to 9 percent of the budget.
Wheeler fails in re-election bid
KANAS CITY, Mo.—Mayor Charles B. Wheeler failed in his bid for a third term last night as he fell behind three city councilmen in the city's six-man panel.
With 70 percent of the vote counted, Bruce Watkins had 35 percent of the vote, Richard Berkley was second with 22 percent and Joel Pelofsky was third with 18 percent.
Watkins and Berkley, the top two vote-getters, will compete in the city general election in April.
In other primary elections across the country yesterday, Chicago mayor Michael A. Biliandle was upset by Jane Byrne in a defeat of the Democratic primary.
Britons taste pancake victory
Jolie Perks, a 22-year-old unemployed teacher, won the race with a run of 63 seconds in Olin Heine. She was four times of a second faster than the Liberal candidate, Marianne Goffre, who won with a run of 59 seconds.
LIBERAL—The women of Oiney, England, overcame seven consecutive defeats handed them by their southwest Kansas counterparts yesterday to win the tournament.
Perks outdistanced 10 other women flipping pancakes in frying pans and she received a traditional kiss of peace from Church Sexton Andrew Soul in Oney. Fifteen entrants participated in the Liberal race. McWilliams received a kiss from Kansas Lt. Gov. Paul Duagan who filled in for Gov. John Carlin.
About 16,000 spectators crowded the streets of Liberal to watch the race and participate in other events such as a pancake-eating contest, a public reception for the race and a victory celebration.

The forecast for today is for cloudy skies with light rain or snow continuing throughout the day. Highs will be in the mid 30s. Winds will be north to northeast.
Israel rejects summit; Begin to visit U.S.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel's Cabinet rejected President Carter's call for a Mideast summit yesterday and accused Egypt of stiffening terms for a treaty.
The action plunged the peace process to its low point since Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic trip to Jerusalem 15 months ago.
An administration spokesman in Washington said initial White House reaction was one 'of grave concern about what the decision means for the peace
However, Carter said yesterday that Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin had decided to come here for "a frank conversation about the issues" in the stalled peace treaty talks.
Egypt and Israel indicated that the next move is up to the United States.
Carter told a news conference that after he sees Begin, who is due here tomorrow evening, he will consider asking Egyptian President Abdelaziz Mustafa Khalil to the United States as well.

The scuttled Camp David summit would have involved Carter, Begin and Khaili.
