Smsigfet Tanker plan draws fire from GOP 'Partisan rhetoric,' White House replies Chicago Daily News WASHINGTON - Is President Carter already playing the kind of old-sty- le Washington "payoff" politics he so regularly and righteously criticized on his way to the White House? The Republicans say he is that the administration is involved in "a bud-ding scandal" and "blatant political payoff" that could cost American consumers up to $2 billion to make good on a Carter campaign promise to maritime unions. The White House says he is not that the GOP is only indulging in "partisan rhetoric" but at the same time Carter's spokesman acknowledges that "we are concerned about appearances." The issue on which the Republicans are trying to attach the first big doubt to Carter's "protestations of purity" involves the President's support for a bill pendng in Congress to require that 9.5 per cent of all imported oil be carried in U.S. tankers with American crews. And here is the basis on which three top GOP leaders national chairman William Brock, Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker and House Minority-Leade- r John Rhodes claim Carter's support for the bill amounts to "a blatant political payoff" to maritime unions and shipping iterests. The Defense, State, Treasury and Commerce departments, plus Carter's own top domestic policy adviser and his trade negotiator, Robert Strauss, all indicated their opposition to or doubts about the bill, according to the GOP and to some administration documents referring to the legislation. Despite this, Strauss and Stuart Eizenstat, Carter's top domestic policy aide, suggested in a memorandum to the President that he had no "political" alternative to supporting the bill in view of a campaign promise he made to (See REPUBLICANS, page 14) STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HITT & LOWRY ST.

Vance said Monday that Saudi Arabian officials had advised him to expect an imminent change in the Palestine Liberation Organization's attitude toward a key United Nations resolution that recognizes Israel's right to exist but which has been opposed by the PLO for a decade. But within hours of Vance's disclosure, a PLO spokesman in Beirut denied there had been any fundamental shift in that group's stand on Security Council Resolution 242 of 1967. The spokesman said that unless the resolution was rewritten to take note of the political rights of the PLO such as the right to establish an independent state on Israeli-hel- d lands the PLO would not accept 242 which supports negotiations and the right to all states to secure borders in the region. Speaking through his spokesman at this Saudi summer capital. Vance had said that if the PLO,.the umbrella group for Palestinians, accepted Resolution 242 in its entirety without changes, this would meet American criteria for ending the diplomatic boycott of the organization and a dialogue could be opened with the United States. Clearly, the Americans were urging that the PLO, if it shifted its position on 242, should accept the resolution without amendments. The PLO representative, however, was standing firm against such a move. The result was a certain amount of confusion. UPItdcpbsto Palestine Liberation Organization may endorse a U.N. resolution recognizing Israels right to exist. It was unclear whether, as has happened so often in the Middle East, a hopeful story was floated only to be punctured hours later. Vance was careful to say that prince Saud, the Saudi foreign minister, had not told him what the shift would consist of. Vance seemed to be urging the PLO to be conciliatory, but the initial response was not encouraging. More hopeful than Vance was President Carter in Plains, Ga., who told reporters that on the basis of Vance's reports "Palestinian leaders have indicated indirectly they might adopt Resolution 242." In Tel Aviv. Prime Minister Mehahem Begin said it would be futile to prepare a role for the Palestine Liberation Organization in Middle East peace talks by trying to make the PLO recognize Israel. He said that Israel would exercise its right to veto participation by the um-brella grouping of Palestinian units in any peace talks. One of the main procedural road-blocks to convening a new Geneva conference on the Middle East has been Arab insistence that the PLO be invited and Israel's refusal to deal with a group that it regards as a terrorist organization dedicated to Israel's destruction. The United States has pledged since September 1975 not to have any direct contact with the PLO until it accepts Israel's right to exist and Security Council Resolution 242 and an ac-companying one 338 of 1973. Ichord targets ihrow-aivay- s Deposit law introduced By Valerie Glauser Missourian staff writer Rep. Richard Ichord, D-M- o., said Monday he has introduced a bill requiring a five-ce- nt deposit on beverage containers and eliminating detachable "flip-tops- " nationwide. "I believe that throw-awa- y cans and bottles have truly become a national problem which must be met by federal legislation," Ichord said. "The time has come to realize we are literally smothering ourselves in our own waste and debris." Ichord held a press conference in Columbia Monday. Environmental Protection Agency studies show the bill annually would conserve almost SO million barrels of oil, 530,000 tons (477,000 tonnes) of aluminum, 1.5 million tons (1.4 million tonnes) of steel, and 5.2 million tons (4.7 tonnes) of glass by 1960 if the legislation is enacted, Ichord said. Ichord said the Federal Energy Administration estimates the deposit legislation would create 118,000 jobs. Columbia voters last April approved an ordinance requiring a five-ce- nt deposition on all non-returna- ble beverage containers, but enforcement of the measure has been suspended by a Circuit Court temporary injunction. The injunction action was filed by a group of 27 retailers and producers of beverage containers. The temporary injunction will be in effect until a full hearing can be held to determine the ordinance's constitutionality and compliance with state law. The plaintiffs said the injunction was necessary because enforcement of the ordinance would cause them "irreparable harm." Don Meyer, who has filed for the Republican nomination to oppose Ichord in the 1978 election, to Congress, criticized Ichord's bill. Meyer, of Labadie, said Ichord's deposit bill is "just another attempt to capture headlines ... to please the people in this area where this issue is popular. Let's hope it's more efficient than past legislation he's sponsored," Meyer said. City has $900,000 butfew suggestions ByJimDrinkard Missourian staff writer When you're looking for advice on how to spend your money, opinions usually are abundant. But that wasn't true for the city Monday not a soul showed up to suggest how Columbia should spend an estimated $900,000 in federal revenue sharing funds this year. The money comes with no strings attached to help local governments with construction projects, social services or other financial needs. The federal government requires the city to advertise and hold hearings where the public can suggest ways to spend the money. But, according to Asst. City Manager Charles Hargrove, almost no one ever attends. Public suggestions still can be sub-mitted in writing to the city manager's office, and another public hearing will be scheduled for later this month. In the past, the city has used its revenue sharing money to provide a subsidy for the airport, to pay for street lighting and to provide equipment for the parks and recreation, police and fire departments. This year the money could go for social services, airport and bus sub-sidies and park acquisition and development, budget assistant Kent Froeschlesaid. "ja""x Opinion.... 4 TS "ST J!

Richard Ichord M"-r- t"- Introduces bill Meteor shower to he seen here By Roger Kuechler Missourian staff writer The forecast for Columbia and vicinity late Thursday and early Friday calls for a shower a meteor shower, that is. Although the shower first will become visible late Thursday night, the best conditions for viewing the shower will begin about 1:30 a.m. Friday. That's when the waning crescent moon rises, says Terry Edwards, University professor of astronomy. But he says the best time to observe will be about 4:30 a.m. The meteors appear to shoot "like the spokes of a wheel" from a central point in the constellation Perseus, which can be seen in the northeast sky early Friday morning, Edwards says. As the night continues and moves higher on the horizon, local stargazers will be able to see the meteors more often. Although the central point will-b- e 25 degrees above the horizon about midnight, it will be 60 degrees above by about 4:30 a.m. The Perseid shower meteors are formed by small chunks of rock and ice shed by the comet Swift-Tuttl- e, which orbits the sun in a long, elliptical path every 120 years, Edwards says. rTniii.iiii.,11., i,i.',M,iMi iimiiiiw iiiii ii in Calling all kissers: your event is here By David Kohn Missourian staff writer Pucker power will win a cham-pionship and perhaps set a world record this month. "We needed a gimmick, some-thing people enjoy doing, to raise money. Most people enjoy kissing," University Student Foundation Om-budsman Lacey Crary said. Anyone who enjoys kissing can prove it Aug. 26. by entering two foundation-sponsore- d events on the University's Stankowskj Field. First will be 160 couples com-peting in the semifinals for the University's "Kissingest Couple" ti-tle. Second will be a "Kiss Off," which the foundation hopes will at-tract enough entrants to persuade the Guiness Book of World Records nil I n mil mi in ii .linn i i u I mi.ii.M.i.iimi to establish a new category for the most people kissing simultaneously. To increase the lip action, the foundation will arrange for singles to team up for the event. The group either will have a rent-a-partn- er booth or a designated area where single, smooching enthusiasts can introduce themselves so they can join in the event, Ms. Crary said. Eight of the 160 couples competing in the title semifinals will be chosen for the title bout that evening at a foundation-sponsore- d dance, Ms. Crary said. All contestants will be judged on style, technique and originality. No I use of hands will be allowed. "Ac- - J tualiy, the judging will be kind of ar-- 8 bitrary. We'll just pick people who 8 look like they're enjoying them- - j selves," she said. Court ruling may stop store games By Gary Hardee State capital bureau JEFFERSON CITY Missouri food stores operating Bingo-styl- e sweep-stakes may be forced to stop the games because of a Missouri Court of Appeals ruling issued Monday . The Kansas City court lias given the state Liquor Control Division per-mission to enforce two liquor regulations which the division claims are violated by the games. Management for three Columbia stores operating the games said they do not know if they will continue the games in light of the appeals court ruling. Stores running the games are Nowell's, 1005 W. Worley St.. and the two Schulte's IGA stores at 5 Business Loop 70 E. and 2100 White Gate Drive. The appeals court, which will review the suit Sept. 26, ordered Cole County Circuit Court Judge James Riley to refrain from taking any action in a suit by three grocery store chains to stop the liquor control division from en-forcing the regulations. Riley issued a temporary injunction two weeks ago against the Liquor Control Division. William Mounts, attorney for the Liquor Control Division, said Albert Letz, division director, will have to decide whether to cite food stores for violation of liquor regulations. Letz is on vacation, but Mounts said a decision would be made within the next two days. The Liquor Control Division contends the games violate regulations which prohibit lotteries where liquor is sold and advertising for the games and for liquor at the same time. The division can revoke a store's license for violation of the regulations. "From the beginning I thought we were clear to go. It (the ruling ) comes as a surprise. We'd like to continue the games, but I don't know, Robert Schulte, .owner of Schulte's IGA stores, safd. " Charles Thurston, manager of Nowell's, also was surprised by the court ruling. "I think customers would be pretty understanding if we had to end the games. I think the majority of them read the paper and watch TV. I also think we would have some unhappy people," he said. Nowell's has been operating the games for nine weeks. Schulte's stores have run the games for about six weeks.
