Carter. Hussein end talks
WASHINGTON—President Jimmy Carter concluded talks with Jordan's King Hussein yesterday and said it would be better not to have a Geneva conference on the Middle East "unless we see some strong possibilities for substantial achievements."
Hussein, for his part, told reporters that a Geneva conference "would be a disaster without prior planning and without realistic appraisal of all the difficulties associated with it."
Carter said the question of Palestinian representation at negotiations had to be worked out.
The key issue in this appraisal, which one key U.S. official characterized as a sense of realism, appears to be the Palestinians.

WASHINGTON - An urban family of four requires $16,236 a year for a moderate standard of living and, for the first time, needs more than $10,000 to maintain an income.
The same family living at a level allowing some luxuries needs $23,759 a year, the department said in its annual analysis of hypothetical family budgets.
The costs were calculated for fall 1978. Compared to a year earlier, the income requirements rose 4.7 per cent, or $241, for the austere budget to $10,641; 6 per cent, or $736, for the moderate budget, and 6.5 per cent, or $1,259, for the higher budget over the previous year.

Official says Ethiopia 'dizzy'
FRANKFURT, West Germany — A U.S. embassy official was among the 320 Americans expelled from Ethiopia described the situation there yesterday as "the asterisk."
Michael J. Gould, an embassy press attachee, spoke for a group of eight adults and five children who arrived aboard a West German commercial airline from Germany.
The Americans were ordered to leave when Ethiopia's left-leaning military government gave the United States an ultimatum to shut down within four days.
Gould said he learned of the expulsion Saturday from a friend who heard of the order on an Addis Ababa radio broadcast.
"We think we eventually will go back." Could said, "but the situation is very unsettled both politically and militarily.
Fund to ease Zaire's debts
WASHINGTON (AP)—The government of Zaire yesterday received financial help totaling $65 million from the International Monetary Fund.
There have been questions about how Zaire would pay for the costly war it is conducting against insurgents in copper-rich Shaba Province.
The fund said the money would be used to offset a decline in earnings from copper production and to assist the country in meeting balance of payment deficits which totaled $513 million in 1975 and $157 million in 1976.
Although there appeared to be nothing to
prevent President Mobutu Sese Seko from diverting at least part of the funds for war purposes, the IMF said it had attached conditions to the loans.
It said the Zairean government had agreed to an economic program to cut back its balance of payments deficits and also to reduce the current rate of inflation "by making possible an upwain in economic growth and a sufficient supply of imported goods."
The IMF statement said that Zaire's earnings from its copper production had been reduced because of a sharp decline in world copper prices last year.

AURH
WASHINGTON (AP) - School officials in Dayton, Ohio, forced by a federal court to bus 18,000 students to achieve racial desegregation,"should be free at this point in their attempt to make a fine school district the Supreme Court was told yesterday.
Dayton attorney David Greer, Daytor attorney for the city's Board of Education, told the justices that the lower court's decision was overturned. The order was not put into effect last fall.

The Supreme Court ruling, expected before the court term ends in June, could have a far-reaching effect on the nation's school systems.
THE COURTS' plan to make all 68 public schools in Dayton reflect roughly the same racial composition of the school district as a whole can't be justified as a remedy for traces of segregation found after a 1972 suit was filed. Greer said.
A majority of the justices have indicated
In recent months the Court has set aside sweeping busing orders for Austin and Indianapolis schools, sending both cases to the district's instructions to find more limited remedies.
IN A CURRINGING opinion in the Austin case, Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., said that remedies must fit the amount of discrimination and indicated that the court required charging racial discrimination to prove discriminatory intent by school officials.
That requirement differed dramatically from the court's reasoning in a 1973 decision involving a Denver school. The court majorly ruled then that federal judges should avoid making solutions when they found intentional racial discrimination in part of a school system.
Dayton school officials were sued in 1972.
James Paddock, district court judge, announced at the end of Gardner's hearing that he would have to study the prosecution's brief on the case before Judge Mike Malone. Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, said he would have the brief ready today.

Judge postpones decision on murder trial motions
Gardner and his brother, Joseph Jr., 22, were arrested the same day a Maxey's body was found near the Santa Fe railroad tracks in East Lawrence.
James Rumsey, Gardner's lawyer, said yesterday that Gardner was questioned in violation of his constitutional rights and that his confession should be suppressed.
Rumsey also said that several items of evidence that the prosecution alleged were used in the murder of Maxey should be suppressed.
Ted Crady, Lawrence police detective, testified that a blood-spotted coal had been taken from Gardner before his rights were read to him.
The elder Gardner will be arraigned in district court Monday on a charge of first-degree assault.
In a hearing Friday, Rumsey is expected to introduce evidence on a motion to move Gardner's trial out of Lawrence. The trial has been set for June 8.

Weather halts efforts to cap well
STAVANAGER, Norway (AP)—A choking concentration of gas yesterday forced an American-led team to suspend efforts to cap a blown-out well that has sent millions of gallons of oil gushing into the North Sea in the past four days.
The six-man team, led by two blow-out specialists from Texas, was evacuated from a platform in Norway's Ekofisk field after a fire meant the winds were no longer
Weather forecasts for today indicated it might be possible to resume efforts to cap the loss of wind.
A reddish scar of crude petroleum fed by oil slicing out of the well at about 44,000 gallons an hour continued to spread into the seas. Impaired visibility made precise measurements impossible, but the slick covered an estimated 80,000 acres.

'Mary Hartman' to end
LOS ANGELES (AP)-Goodbye waxy yellow buildup. Goodbye Fernwood fission. Lor, Tornella and Charlie. And Mary "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman."
"We didn't want that to be 'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman's fate.'
Television's most outrageous soap opera will be canceled this summer after two years because its creators said they wanted to go out while it was still a hit.
"Throughout television's history hit shows have been allowed to run to the point where they fizzle out," creator-producer Norman Lear of Tandem Productions said at a news conference yesterday.
With Lear at her side, she said, "Louise didn't quit."
Lear said, "If the press and the public wish to believe that Louse quit, that's beyond our control."
STAR LOUEE Lasser denied she had quit the show, although she admitted that the schedule of five shows a week was strenuous.
Industry sources had speculated in recent weeks that Miss Lasser would quit the series because of exhaustion.
LEAR ALSO denied he was ending the show because of sauging ratings.
Approximately 70 more episodes of the syndicated series will be aired before it stops production on June 14.
"it's hard work," she said. "It's been a constant sprint. The strain has been great on all of us, but we've never seen people stretch themselves so."
Starting July 4 Tandem will offer "Fernwood Tonight," which may do for late-night talk shows what "Mary Hartman" did for soap opera.
Next fall the company will begin production of "Fernwood U.S.A.",
a comedy anthology that will continue to feature the characters from "Mary Hartman."
