Vietnam maintaining defense
BANGKOK, Thailand—Vietnamese troops defending the Red River Valley corridor to Hanoi held their ground yesterday against a three-pronged Chinese attack.
The radio claimed Chinese soldiers were being killed at a rate of 800 a day along the border front lines.
China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping said the 10-day-old conflict might end within 10 days, but analysts in Bangkok and elsewhere expect the Chinese invasion force to mount an all-out assault against Hanoi's troops before withdrawal.
The official Soviet news media charged that China was massing troops near its border with Laos for an invasion of that Vietnam-dominated country. The
In a speech in the western Russian city of Mink, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei E. Gromkyo reiterated the Kremnin warning to China to pull out all American troops.
A Soviet airlift of military supplies to Hanoi appeared to be continuing. Airport sources in Calcutta, India, said three cargo planes refueled there were in the air on Wednesday.
Iranians arrest 4 foreigners
TEHRAN, Iran-Iran civil revolutionaries yesterday arrested an American, a Belgian and two Britons employed by an oil-drilling company on charges of
British officials said the four were questioned and then released.
The company spokesman said the four were detained yesterday on charges of "blundering the wealth of Iran by charring exertive torients."
In another development, Hassan Nazir, director of the National Iranian Oil Co., said Iran would resume oil exports next week but did not say when or if.
Nazih notified oil workers in Abadah of the resumption of exports and said the production and export politics would be based "entirely on Iran's national
Iran now is producing about 700,000 barrels a day to meet domestic requirements and Prime Minister Medhi Bazarqan said exports would eventually reach 50 to 60 percent of the pre-revolution level of 5.4 million barrels a day.
Cabinet to decide Beain's role
JERUSALEM—Israel's Cabinet will meet today to decide whether Prime Minister Menachem Begin will accept a U.S. invitation to a Mideast peace agreement.
Begin's 17-man Cabinet reportedly is divided on whether to accept the invitation, and the positions of Begin and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan are known.
Dayan flew to Jerusalem from Washington last night to attend the upcoming Cabinet session.
Some Israelis leaders have voiced doubts that Sadat's representative, Prime Minister Mustafa Khalli, would have the power to make decisions at a summit. Many Israelis also see the request for Begin to negotiate with Khalil as an insult.
The leaders said they feared the meeting could lead to pressuring Israel alone on issues blocking a peace treaty.
In Washington, White House press secretary Jody Powell hadkhil been given full authority by Sadat to negotiate and conclude a peace treaty.
Diplomat to China confirmed
Begins refusal to comment on whether he would attend, saying he wound awa
the outcome of the Cabinet session.
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted overwhelmingly yesterday to confirm Leonard Woodcock as the first U.S. ambassador to malawi China since 1949.
Woodcock, who was President Carter's choice for ambassador, is to be installed Thursday in Peking, where he has led the U.S. lion mission for two
There had been some speculation that Senate conservatives might try to block a vote.
A Senate filibuster beyond Thursday would have meant a major embarrassment for the president and his policy of extending diplomatic relations.
Gun purchase bill draws fire
TOPEKA - A bill that would require a three-day waiting period for the purchase of a handgun in Kansas drew "emotional opposition" yesterday from the legislature.
Ted Cunningham, the federation director, told the House Judiciary Committee the legislation was "just one more bite taken at firearms owners in this country."
"Someday when you reverse the role protection of the law of the criminal and the victim, then we might change our mind," Cunningham said.
He said the proposed bill would require a waiting period for such things as antique guns and BB or pellet pistols as well as other handguns.
Lee Quesal, of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission, said his agency did not believe further restrictions on ownership of firearms was warranted.
No one testified for the bill, which was introduced by State Rep. Joseph Hapland, R.Overland Park, the committee chairman.
TWA flight cutbacks continue
KANAS CITY, Mo.—Trans Airlines has canceled four outbound and two inbound flights to Kansas City, Mo. for today because a fuel shortage forces the airline to cancel 20%.
An airline spokesman, Larry Hillard, said two flights to New York and one each to Chicago and St. Louis had been canceled. Inbound flights canceled were due to a storm that hit the city on Saturday.
Hillard said the airline would be able to restore full service tomorrow, ending three days of service cutbacks.
He said the airline was getting more fuel and that the lack of fuel had been a supplier problem.
The airline dropped flights where it had the most service and where passengers would be least affected, he said.
Governors face revenue cuts
WASHINGTON—The nation's governors voice concern yesterday about congressional threats to slash revenue sharing as a step toward eliminating the
Hillard said it was the first time since the Arab oil embargo in 1973 that the airline had had to cancel flights.
No other airlines operating out of Kansas City said they had to cancel flights, but one major carrier, Delta Air Lines, said it was low on fuel.
Pressure for a balanced budget was the dominant issue at the winter meeting of the National Governors Conference, as the governors failed to agree on a plan to reduce the deficit.
Gov. James Thompson of Illinois said the idea of a budget amendment was somewhat simplicitic, and that he was more concerned about threats to cut funding.
Senate Budget Committee chairman Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, House Speaker Thomas O'Neill Jr., D-Mass., and Sen. Lloyd Bentse, D-Texas, caused a stir when they suggested that block grants might be the first area cut to achieve a balanced budget.
More than $2.3 billion in block grants are sent to the states annually.
"Revenue sharing funds are the only federal monies states and cities can use as they fit," Thompson said.
He urged Congress and the administration to reduce the number of federal and programs targeted to specific projects, and to require strict adherence to them.
Weather
It will be mostly cloudy today with temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. There is a chance for showers in the afternoon. Snow is likely tonight and topped up tomorrow.
