Turner endorsed for CIA
WASHINGTON—The Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday unanimously recommended Adm. Stansfield Turner to be the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, committee chairman, said he would recommend full Senate confirmation of Turner today.
Turner, in *Tuesday's testimony*, had told the committee he would resign as CIA director rather than carry out a presidential order for activities he thought were inappropriate.

A 19-year-old Turner, a former classmate of President Carter at the Naval Academy, will be permitted to keep his naval commission. Invoice said Turner had agreed not to seek either the position of chief of naval operations or chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if the posts became available during his tenure.
Labor Party picks Rabin
TEL. AVI, Israel - Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin narrowly defeated Defense Minister Shimon Peres yesterday and retained the ruling Labor Party's approval
to lead it into the May national elections.
But Rabin's slender 41-vote margin out of more than 2,000 votes cast left the scandal-marred Labor Party vulnerable at one of the most crucial times since the founding of the Jewish state in 1948.
A sirlin Rabin and a glumfaced Peres sat on the dais at the party's 1977 convention early yesterday as the chairman read out the results: 1,445 votes
Rabin and 1,404 for Peres.
Rabin then stood up before the cheering, chanting crowd and called on the party's leaders to put their divisions aside and unite behind him in a struggle to win the national elections in May.
Polar sub route possible
BRUSSELS, Belgium - North Atlantic Treaty Organization sources believe that Soviet submarine captains have found a passage under the polar ice, a discovery that would allow Soviet missile-carrying submarines to take up positions west of Greenland.
The passage is through the channel between Greenland and Elesmere Island, a route that would bring Soviet submarines with older, comparatively short-range missiles closer to targets in North America.
The passage around the northern tip of Greenland has long been held to be impassable. However, modern Soviet submarines now appear to be sufficiently well-equipped and practiced to find and follow the passage across the Arctic Ocean. The only other known location of Ellesmere Island is known. They would then be able to find ice-free positions farther south.
Carter decision blasted
WASHINGTON - Angry members of the Interior Committee yesterday assured staff that they would be supporting the funding for 19 water-control projects as a result, ill-timed, appropiant and wasteful.
Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus took the criticism on behalf of the Carter administration, attempting to assure Congress that the decision does not mean an end to the projects but only a re-evaluation.
The congressmen were not convinced.
The congressmen were not convinced. "It's like pronouncing a verdict of guilty before the trial," said Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-Ariz., chairman of the Interior Committee and backer of the biggest affected dam, the Central Arizona Project.
Amin says Uganda 'safe'
KAMPAIL, Uganda (AP)—President Idi Amin of Uganda has assured the organization of African Unity that "despite imperialist propaganda, Uganda is calm and there is no cause for alarm," the newspaper said. The president of Uganda newspaper said Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Uganda's state radio quoted Armin as saying he had overcome a military revolt supported by "exiles, Israelis and imperialist agents." He reportedly thanked soldiers who overpowered "dissidents within the armed forces" after a coup plot was discovered days ago.
Amin has said the plot was uncovered after the discovery of weapons from China.
Anglican Archbishop Janai Lawn, who
allegedly under disputed circumstances
Canon Burgess Carr, the general secretary of the All-African Conference of Churches, and other church leaders have charged that Archbishop Luwum and two government ministers were murdered. The Ugandan government says the three died in an auto wreck hours after their arrest on charges of plotting to overthrow Amin.
The government-owned newspaper said Amircin Carr and the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the world Anglican Communion, "were involved in the sinister plan to cause chaos in Uganda. That is why they were disappointed when their plan failed and are present at the center of the anti-Uganda propaganda."
Insurance men give seniors the hard sell
Staff Reporter
Concerned about your "financial future planning?" Need financial advice? If you're a senior at the University of Kansas you may have already received an abundance of advice from high-pressure life insurance salesmen.
By KERRY KELLY
Graduating seniors are often the targets of these agents, who often are reluctant to identify themselves until a student agrees to make an appointment with them.
Instead, the salesmen often tell students that because they are graduating, "they qualify for our special program," and students should enroll in a financial planning to ensure a secure future.
It took Scott Volding, St. Louis senior, two-and-a-half months to rid himself of one persistent agent. He had made an appointment with the agent, thinking he was a stockbroker, before he found out he was an insurance salesman.
AFTER THE agent arrived and the two discussed insurance policies, the agent began filling out forms, Volding said, and the agent got "pushy" after Volding told him he wouldn't be "sold anything in half an hour.
"I told him I wanted to think about it and call my father and ask him about it." Voiding said. "Then the salesman gave me this line—'Wouldn't you like to go to bed tonight knowing that you had finally done something on your own?'"
He said this pressure began in mid-November and lasted through January, during which time the agent called him every other day.
Volding said that one time the agent called him at a party at 9:30 on a Friday night to arrange a time when they could meet.
"THE THING I hated the most that he was just a little too pushy," he said. "They just come on and in 15 minutes I was almost ready to buy some life insurance."
"I tell them right away that I already have insurance," he said. "Then they start cross-examine me about the intricacies of my policy.
Waddy Sedovic, St. Louis senior, has had problems with life insurance salesmen, too.
"They keep bugging me about wanting to come and see me and I keep telling them no.
Judy Kroger, director of the Consumer Affairs Association suggests that students who are interested in insurance go to a brokerage agencies and check out different rates.
"He asked me if I was in architecture and then told me that they specialized in that particular area and therefore they were outside of the special problems we had." he said.
But no isn't good enough, so I just end up banging up on them all the time."
WASHINGTON (AP) -Gulf Oil Corp. violated federal law by failing to deliver contracted amounts of natural gas to a House subcommittee charged yesterday.
HE WARNED students not to sign promissory notes. Promissory notes can be signed by students who buy life insurance to pay for future expenses. Students then think they are getting something for nothing, be said, and when they try to get out of it later, they discover
"DON'T TAKE the first deal offered to you," she said.
Bob Treat, Springfield, Mo., senior, was told by an insurance agent who contacted him that the agent specialized in Treat's field of study.
An agent called Cheri Stelmach, Kansas City, Mio., senior, wanting to talk to her about her 'future plans.' She told the agent she wasn't interested in buying insurance at that moment and hung up. A week later, the salesman called her again.
Gulf charged with gas violation
A State Farm Insurance agent who asked not to be identified suggested that students be as blunt as possible with rude insurance agents.
"I thought it was a bunch of malarky. I didn't want to talk to him so I just hung up," said Treat, who also had been contacted about his future financial planning by other
Gulf denied that it is deliberately withholding gas and said it was doing
"Put the guy down and he won't come back," he said. "Until you tell him no, and it may take two or three 'no's, he'll keep coming back."
Locals request funds
The report by a panel of the House Commerce Committee also accused the Federal Power Commission (FPC) of its regulatory failure" in its dealings with Gulf.
"I told him that my parents had taken out a "10,000 life insurance policy for me," she said. "He said that didn't matter—I still owned it." Mr. Reilly asked to see how few life insurance could work for me.

Senate committee clamps lid on senators' incomes
WASHINGTON (UPF)—With Democrats overpowering stiff Republican opposition, a special committee drafting a new Senate code of ethics voted yesterday to clamp an $8,753 lid on the income a senator can earn on top of his official $75,500 salary.
If the full Senate approves the proposals passed by its Committee on Official Conduct, the lid will go on a member's outside earnings from speeches, appearances, articles and other activities, with no more than $1,000 for a single fee.
But no restrictions would be imposed on "unearned" income, such as that from business investments. Supporters said that incomeposed less potential for conflict of interest and could be realized with less of a senator's time.
Foes rejected those claims and one, Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, said, "I would hope the Senate would have guts enough to say that if we're going to limit those who make a few dollars marking speeches, we will never be able to about those with income from investments.
Current rules set no limit on a senator's total outside earnings and members can earn up to $2,000 annually in honoraria, with a $2,000 limit per speech.
Veteran Reps. Claude Pepper, D-Fla, and James Quallen, R-Tran, charged that the proposals would unfairly penalize congressmen with salaries from small farmers to large farmers but do nothing to hinder the wealthy members with big investment incomes.
Under other provisions tentatively adopted by the committee, senators would be required to disclose all sources and amounts of income each year in a public statement. Senators may also issue officees with privately-financed unofficial account offices, often called "slush funds."
The limit on outside earned income was passed when the committee voted 9 to 6 against a plan to impose a $15,000 ceiling instead.
The committee chairman, Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., called the income limitation "one of the touchstones" of the entire ethics code and said he and Democratic Leader Hillary Clinton would change when the plan reaches the Senate floor, probably within the next 10 days.
Inoyne was the only Democrat opposed to the limit and only two GOP members, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Thomas Stafford of Vermont, favored it.
