Carter in Jordan to promote peace
United Press International
AMMAN. Jordan — Former President Jimmy Carter, assured of Syrian help in seeking the release of American hostages in Lebanon, arrived in Jordan yesterday in an attempt to revitalize the Middle East peace process.
Carter said in Damascus, Syria, before leaving for Jordan that he was "disappointed with the lack of progress" for peace in the Middle East and criticized the United States for not providing leadership.
Carter, on a Middle East tour that ends with a visit to Israel this week, was expected to meet with King Hussein and other Jordanian officials about plans for regional peace, including a proposed international conference advocated by the Arab states.
Israel and its closest ally, the United States, oppose such a conference.
"There is no doubt in my mind that there is a general compatibility now among Palestinians, Egypt
"As long as the parties stay flexible and listen to the contrary views of the others, the hope for a conference is kept alive.
and Syria concerning a general format for a conference," Carter said in Damascus.
"Perhaps, as a private citizen who knows these leaders and who has access to them . . . I might, at least on a temporary basis, assist to keep the option open until they are explored." he said.
Carter, who brokered the Egyptian-Israeli peace accords in 1979.
said there was no indication the Reagan administration was ready to become a catalyst of Middle East peace.
"The administration lacks the enthusiasm and tenacity to be an eager partner," he said.
While the Middle East conflict appeared to be the dominant theme of Carter's planned talks with Jordanian officials, the plight of the 24 Western hostages in Lebanon — including eight Americans — was high on his "unofficial" agenda in Damascus.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Oral Roberts joined the war of TV evangelists yesterday, saying fire-and-bristone preacher Jimmy Swaggart joined an "unholly alliance" to topple Praise The Lord founder Jim Bakker over a sexual indiscretion in 1980.
Roberts urged his flock to use their checkbooks to build a "wall of protection" around Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye, who resigned Thursday from both the PTL and the Assemblies of God.
Bakker's attorney called it a "holy war," Swaggart said he was embarrassed at the state of televised evangelism.
"The gospel of Jesus Christ has
never sunk to such a level it has today," he said. "We've got a dear brother in Tulsa, Okla, perched up in a tower telling people that if they don't send money that God's going to kill him, then we got this soap opera being carried out live down in South Carolina all in the name of God."
In Chattanooga, Tenn., evangelist John Ankerberg sided with Swaggart and said the "entire account" of Bakker's misdeeds would be made public soon. He refused to elaborate.
'Holy war' rages over Bakker resignation
Bakker and his wife did not appear yesterday on the PTL network's "Jim and Tammy Show." A PTL spokesman said Tammy was "ill, but it was not a major crisis." She is undergoing treatment in California for drug addiction.

Conference committee seeking compromises
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A House-Senate conference committee yesterday finished the easy part in trying to reach agreement on an all-purpose liquor bill.
The six-member committee reached an agreement on 18 provisions in a bill that would allow restaurants to sell liquor by the drink in 36 counties where voters approved a constitutional amendment in November.
It also would change many state liquor laws and increase liquor taxes. Most of the provisions were changes laid in the House but not in the Senate.
The conference committee is trying to hammer out a compromise between versions of the bill approved in the Senate and the House.
The committee skipped over the controversial provisions in the bill, such as a $20 million increase in taxes on liquor, wine and beer.
After an hour-long meeting, conference committee members were quick to say they made good progress
in their negotiations. The committee is expected to meet again today.
"Things seem to be going very smoothly," said State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, chairman of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. "I expected more problems."
However, Miller said the House did not plan to give up amendments to the bill that would increase the liquor enforcement tax on spirits, wine and strong beer; raise gallonage taxes on whiskey, wine and strong beer, and apply the liquor enforcement tax to 3.2 percent beer. The changes would raise $20 million annually, according to revised estimates.
Miller was optimistic about the chances of some of the tax increases staying in the bill.
"Nobody's asked us to give those up vet." Miller said.
The conference committee chairman, State Sen. Edward Reilly, R-Leavenworth, had expressed doubt about the Senate agreeing to the tax increases.
