Korean protection to continue
TOKO-YU. - Defense Secretary Harold Brown pledged yesterday that the United States would continue to protect South Korea while it is preparing to "heal." Informed sources said up to 12,000 troops would remain cover the withdrawal of 35,000 American ground forces.
According to the sources, a senior official aboard Brown's plane said Brown gave assurances that two
brigades, roughly composed of 8,000 combat troops and several thousand for logistic support, would remain until the end of the phaseout in 1982.
Brown flew to Tokyo yesterday to brief Japanese officials on his two days of talks with Korean leaders about the U.S. withdrawal plans.
Pipeline insulation blown away
FAIRBANKS—Explosions that authorities said were deliberately set blew away insulation on part of the Alaska pipeline about 15 miles north of here but did not interfere with the flow of oil.
Brown said, "I think it is a mistake to depend on nuclear weapons when in this case, non-nuclear weapons will suffice."
Above 30 to 40 feet of an above-ground section of the pipeline were damaged, Larry Talbert, state deputy compensation of public safety, said yesterday.
Talbert said wires, batteries and what appeared to be detonators were found near that section of the 800-mile pipeline, operated by Alyssa Pipeline Service Co.
Aleska security officers reported the damage to authorities about 9 p.m. Monday night, but Talbert said the ex-army officer had securely occured on or before last Saturday.
State Police LA. George Politl said there were apparently several blasts in the area.

The promotional activities of a land development company that included University of Kansas students among its prospective customers will be investigated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD), according to a HUD official.
John Lynch, a representative of the Kansas City Interstate Land Sales Office, a HUD agency, said his agency would investigate allegations of misleading advertising, gimmicks and possible conspiracyion lumber mills at Tanglewood Lakes, a land development by Southeastern Kansas about 70 miles from Lawrence.
Lynam said he be received complaints that Tanglewood telephone solicitors had told potential customers that winners of a "Lucky Sweepstakes" would have a choice of two prizes, which could be claimed only at the Tanglewood property development.
HUD WAS ALSO investigating, whether company salesmen told prospective buyers that the property had been approved by HUD, Lvam said.
"The thing is, HUD hasn't approved the property," he said. "What we have now are allegations and we're going to look into them.
"If people were told in initial telephone conversations that they would have a choice of prizes and they find out they don't, that's misleading."
About 20 students and several Lawrence residents who contacted the Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association (CAA) said they got the impression they had a choice of two prizes from a list of seven, according to Judy Kroeger, CAA director.
"Most people thought they had a choice," Kroeger said, "but numbers on the letters they received indicated the prizes they won."
A WOMAN IN THE LAWRENCE Tanglewood office confirmed that winners' prizes were determined according to numbers printed on the letters.
Kroeger said students told her solicitors listed the prizes as a color television, a Florida vacation, a California vacation or a book report. She waved a wave oven and a freedom package collection.
She said that the prizes were available, but that most people who went to Tahoe would have had free freedom collection package, which included copies of American historical documents, and a certificate that paid only for accommodations at an unidentified Florida motel.

WINNERS WERE TOLD they would receive a letter in the mail that would tell them how and where to pick up the prizes, she said.
Glenn and Betty Rothwell, Lawrence residents who toured the property, said that a salesman offered them a $500 check made out to Glenn Rothwell. The salesman voided the check immediately when they said they don't want to buy property, Mrs. Rothwell said.
Kroger said, however, that some students hadn't received letters giving dissatisfaction.
SHE SAID THEY RECEIVED two prizes, a certificate for a Florida vacation that was good only during certain times, and the freedom collection.
Linda Mellott, a Lawrence resident who bought a 140-foot by 70-foot lot at Tanglewood, said that she saw a $500 check on her, but that it was never offered to her.
"I bought the property because the salesman told me it was HUD-approved," the man sighed the deed July 16, after she made the down payment on the cash price of $2,495.
Lynam said his agency would investigate whether Tanglewood salesmen were telling him they had been approved by HUD. He also said HUD would determine whether salesmen were giving information about the property needed to the company's property report.
"The consumer has to read this and check the statements against what the salesmen told him to see if the property is a good deal for him," Lynam said.
HE SAID THAT HUD would check the HE SAID THAT HUD would check for any deviation in conditions or facilities.
The report lists the company's plans to develop the area, including the installation of drainage and flood control facilities and utilities, access to roads, and the availability of police protection, mail service, dental and dental facilities and schools.
Pat Gross, enforcement officer in the Patton HUD office, said that Tainbridge was currently under HUD and met the requirements for the registration statement under the Interstate Rule.
Women's athletic trainer resigns because of disputes with director
By RICK ALM Staff Writer
Becky Burke, University of Kansas women's athletic trainer, has said she resigned last week after less than a year on the job. Burke is the president of Washington, director of women's athletics.
Burke said the disputes, which she said became increasingly personal, started over her concern that training facilities were not equipped for the scheduling of practices and road trips.
However, Washington said yesterday it was Burke's attitude that made it difficult to negotiate a settlement.
"Becky wasn't happy with the way things were." Washington said.
Washington said that the women's athletics had same real problems, mostly with a lack of support.
"BECKY WAS UNABLE to make the necessary adjustments and hasn't been able to work positively with what we have now." Washington said.
Burke said she first expressed concern to Washington about working conditions in January and gave her a list of major challenges, including salary, facilities and the budget.
She said she felt Washington, who is also the women's basketball coach, occasionally did not give her sufficient on changes in the schedule for trips and practices.
That, she said, made it difficult for her to do her job because she sometimes had to keep entire days open to accommodate Washington.
Burke said she was required to be on call during all women's home athletic events and scheduled practices, although she had a previous student assistant to help with training duties.
"PRACTICES WERE SCATTERED FROM Holcom Field to the stadium," she said, "and the training facilities weren't conveniently located."
She said her office was in Allen Field House and her training room, which also
Commission puts off action on center plan

Although city commissioners devoted much of their meeting last night to the need for additional workers in Southwest Plaza Shopping Center, they took no action and returned the proposal to the planning staff for additional work on account to the site from Iowa and 23rd streets.
Commissioners did, however, authorize issuance of bonds for the purchase of $150,000 of sanitation equipment and supplies; the commission of the Humane Society animal shelter.
After an executive session that followed the meeting, the commission announced that it would release a public statement next Tuesday concerning employee relations. The statement will reportedly be signed by all commissioners.
Don Binsn, commissioner, said last night that the statement would emphasize the positive in areas of the commission had spent two hours on. No other details were available.
Lamenting the possible exclusion of the curb cut, Dean Burkman, attorney for the site developer, said, "I'm sure Mr. Safety want a store there if nobody can get to it."
agreed the facility was located far away from the locker area.
City commissioners and the planning staff said the particular curb cut, one of four in the site plan, posed traffic safety problems at the intersection north of the free right turn on 23rd Street.
The shopping center site discussion centered on a planned curb cut on the east side of the street.
The planning staff previously recommended denial of the site because of a possible bottleneck problem—cars entering the shopping center would slow the flow of traffic from the free right turn and north bound traffic on Iowa.
The site plan, which was planned around building a Safety store, was deferred for two weeks to give the planning staff and some time to consider modifications in the site plan.
"It wasn't uncommon for me to work 12 to 15 hours a day," she said.

"IM NOT QUESTIONING HER treatment of the athletes," she said.
Washington said that she and Burke discussed working conditions, salary and lack of adequate facilities on several occasions but that budgetary difficulties prevented her from doing anything about the trainer's trievances.
Authorization of *Ue sanitation equipment* bond will allow temp.,rary financing of the purchase of three land-fill packer trucks, one "roll off" truck and 30 truck containers.
Commissioners will have the option in 1978 to bond the purchase of the equipment over a five-year period or to raise sanction charges to customers to cover the purchase costs, Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said.

Shiro Yagi, a former intensive English student from Japan; Janet Gail Jones, Mayetta, Chester Ditto, Lawrence; Jose Luis Pujalle, Argentina graduate student, Jesse K. Gockley, Grand Junction, Colo., former student, were arraigned yesterday.
Each is charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of illegally making a false statement.
According to the District Court's office, a marriage was arranged between Yagai and James last January to make Yagiil eligible for a permanent U.S. visa. Yagail's student visa was to expire Feb. 3 because he was no longer a student at KU.

According to Bruce Miller, assistant U.S. attorney, the scheme backfired when James went to the immigration office in Topeka to obtain the immigration visa for Yazai.
