Military called unprepared
WASHINGTON - A Senate investigative report charged yesterday that U.S. military forces are in a shocking state of unpreparedness for combat, having only 51 percent of troops trained.
The report by Sen. John Culver, D- Iowa, to the Senate Armed Services Committee said that, on any given day, only half of all U.S. combat planes and ships were operational and that few servicenf their weapons often enough to become proficient.
"In short," Culver said, "we do not have the ready military muscle to match our strength on paper."
Pentagon spokesman Tom Ross said the armed forces were now in an adequate state of readiness to carry out their assigned duties, but he asked Congress to take action.
WASHINGTON—Although more Americans are committing suicide today than 25 years ago the top killers of 1060 have either been eliminated or are in a relapse.

The report, compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics and presented to the Senate health subcommittee, said the health status of men aged 25 to 44 had
Of the five leading causes of death in 1950, the report said, only suicide has increased.
The report said a startling increase in lung cancer death rates had occurred since 1960, including higher rates for women.
Killer diseases in decline
WASHINGTON - The median-priced new home will cost almost 800,000 by 1986, and the average downpayment will be almost $23,000, driven nearly half of the way by a 5% tax.
The Senate Banking Committee met a senate committee yesterday in Kenneth T. Rosen, professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University, told the Senate Banking Committee that the nation was in a housing crisis, and that the American dream of universal home ownership is virtually dead.
Rosen urged passage of legislation, sponsored by Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., that would permit graduated mortgage payments, which start low and increase. It would allow families to deduct up to $2,500 a year from gross income, which would be put into a separate account for accumulating a downpayment.
SALT talks will resume
WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States and the Soviet Union, glossing over their failure to reach any accord on strategic arms limitation, announced it would resume SAIT talks and discuss Middle East peace prospects in Geneva in May.
In Moscow, however, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko accused Washington of trying to achieve one-sided privileges in the nuclear arms proposals the Kremlin rejected Wednesday. He asked for more realism in the Geneva talks.
"I would like to express the hope that U.S. leaders will stand on a more realistic position, taking Soviet security into consideration," Grumky said one-sided privileges," Greymko said.
In their joint communique marking the end of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance's three-day Moscow visit, however, the two nations tried to accentuate the positive—promising to work together for just and lasting peace in the Middle East and saying they achieved several understandings on lesser issues during the Vance visit.
Pot bill passes committee; Senate debates it Monday
The committee voted seven to three to report the bill to the full Senate but reported that it was not passed.
A bill to reduce the penalties for possession of an ounce or less of marijuana passed the Kansas Senate Committee on State and Federal Affairs yesterday and probably will be voted on by the Senate Monday.
The bill is sponsored by State Sen. Mike Glover, D-Darreville.
State Sen. Norman Gaar, R-Westwood.
Senate majority leader, said he expected debate and a final vote Monday.
State SNE. Don Allegruci, D-Pittsburgh, a committee member, said yesterday that reporting the bill without recommending or allowing it to pass the Senate to debate it without restrictions.
If passed as it now stands, the bill would make possession of an ounce or less of marijuna punishable by a fine of no more than $100 for the first two offences. Any offense after the second would be a class A misdemeanor.
Possession of more than an ounce would be a class A misdemeanor for the first two offenses and a class D felony for subsequent offenses.
If passed on its present form, the bill would go to Bennett to be either signed or vetoed. If the Senate amends the House bill, it would be better to accept the Senate's amendments.
