Insight Libertarians work to end oppression Platform includes abolishing tariffs busing, foreign aid By Pamela Elhett Mlssouriaa staff writer Taxation is theft! The draft ia but slavery!

Though this may sound Hke the rebels of 1776 calling for an end to British Imperialism in the states, these cries actually are being, beard in Missouri and across the United States in 1978 by those Mohave been called the current young rebels. At the United States' 200th anni-versary, a group of Americans again is calling for the freedom to punfes life, liberty and property as they choose not as they say the present government declares they must choose. They can themselves the Libertarian party to empharite the liberty they seek have adopted " Legalise Freedom" as their slogan. They promise to keep George Orwell's threat of the absolute absence of Individual liberty in " 1984" from occurring. To gain the freedom they say ' Americans have lost since Revolutionary times, the government must be made to roll back its size and power, the party's supporters says. As a matter of fact, Libertarians see the government's role as being that of a police force or court system. By working through the system and campaigning in Missouri and other states and in national elections, the Libertarian party seeks to destroy the system at least the system that they say taxes, regulates, controls and runs people's lives. !

By our wire services UNITED NATIONS Saying it, would " open a veritable Pandora's box of future difficulties," the United States Monday tried to block participation of the Palestine Liberation Organisation .( PLO) In the Security Council's Middle East debate and failed. Four hours before the. start of the meeting, a package containing three pipe bombs was found beneath a U. N. Bpmbs were found very near the Security Council chamber library near the scene of the debate. The bombs were timed to explode 30 minutes before debate was to begin. Toe package bomb did not cause me Security Council any difficulty, though, as it tasocked down the U. S. protest II to 1. The United States voted against the proposal; Britain, France and Italy abstained. The United States was not able to veto the measure because of a procedural rule. Immediately after the vote, a PLO representative took the floor and vowed to continue its " Just struggle" against Israel by " all legitimate means." Israel boycotted the session because of the presence of the PLO, with which It refuses to deal and declaring mat it would not negotiate its " own suicide " " We took up arms and had recourse to arms in defense of our valid desire to live in our own land," Farouk Kad- - ' doumi, foreign policy adviser to PLO leader Yasser Arafat, told the council. " We struggle for legitimacy and peace not to seize what does not belong to us. It is the resolve of our people to continue our struggle military and political." Israel, confident the United States would veto any move in the council to give the PLO a seat at the Geneva peace conference, rebuffed a UJS. effort to get it to reconsider staying away from the session. Israeli ambassador Chaim Herzog told a meeting organized by major American Jewish organizations that his government was ready to negotiate with its Arab neighbors but not the PLO. " We will negotiate only on the basis of a recognition of Israel's sovenegn rights," Herzog said. " We will not negotiate our own suicide." U. S. ambassador Daniel Moynihan told the council the United States op-posed the invitation because the PLO " refuses to acknowledge the authority of the council" and Israel's " right to exist" Soviet ambassador Jacob Malik noted that a council majority agreed Nov. 30 to invite the PLO. The PLO, umbrella organization for Palestinian guerrillas, was invited to participate for the first time in the council debate even though it is not a U. N. member, a recognized govern-ment or a government in exile. The package bomb was found at 10: 30 ajn. CDT about 3 hours before it was set to explode by a city elec-trician routinely checking a subway maintenance entrance located un-derneath a ramp leading to the U. N. library, police said. A U.

It was not immediately known how powerful or what type of explosives were contained in the bombs.

( UPI telephoto) Child abuse policy clarified School board reinstates 26- ce- nt levy By Carafe Pickett sad Jim Orso Mfsssarlsn staff writers --" 4The Columbia Board of Education Monday lught reinstated a 26- cen- t operating tax levy that had been cut in September by property re- evaluatio- n. The board also voted to accept a child abuse policy for Columbia public schools. The tax increase raises the operating levy from $ 3.40 to $ 3.68 per $ 100 assessed valuation. The increase replaces the same amount cut from the levy last September and can be added without voter approval. " This is a routine restoration," board President Bay Lewis said. According to Missouri law, the board is allowed to restore the highest levy approved by voters previously if it has been lowered to meet the requirements of higher property evaluations. State law also requires a cut in the levy when total assessed valuation in a taxing district increases by 10 per cent . m a year. The levy must be reduced to produce substantially the same amount of taxes estimated to be produced by the old tax rate before the valuation increases. The language of the resolution states that the increase was proposed . . " for the purpose of supplementing the teachers fund and the incidental fund." School superuitendant Robert Shaw said, " We realize this isnt the best time in the world to ask for a tax increase," but the board must " keep pace with increased operations tike beat, light and water and also with the cost of living" The 26 member Citizens Advisory Commission formed to study school finances, recommended in December that the board exercise its option to reinstate the tax levy. The commission also has recommended the board ask voters to raise the levy an additional 44 cents per $ 100 of assessed valuation making the total increase 70 cents. That increase would require two- thir- ds voter approval. The board will meet at 4 pjn. Jan. 26 to finalize plans for that vote. The child abuse and neglect policy introduced by board member Jan Fisch outlines procedures for teachers to follow in reporting suspected child abuse cases. The policy provides that " any staff member who suspects that a student has been abused or neglected shall immediately notify the principal of the school where the student at-tends." The principal, along with the school counselor or nurse, will in-vestigate reported cases and notify the Boone County Division of Family Services The policy also states that in- servi- ce training will be provided by the family service division in cooperation with the public school system. All school per-sonnel directly involved with pupils will be involved in the sessions. The sessions will show personnel how toqtvictims of neglect and abuse and inform them of the state laws on child abuse. They also will review school policy on child abuse. The schools will appoint one member to at on the community- wid- e Com-mittee on Child Abuse that oversees policies and problems connected with child abuse cases. hi other action the board: Repaid a $ li milium loan that it had been forced to take out in the fall when the state aid payment was lower than had been anticipated. It was repaid because the district received its January tax payment a little earlier than expected. Shaw said the dtstrcit expected to remain m the black financially for the rest of the year, but the same problem of a shortage of state aid in the fall will happen again next year. Russell Thompson, assistant superintendent, reported that the district has tared 11 new black teachers this year, as compared to 13 the year before. I.- - Pot- se- x test: , not everyone high on idea V CARBONDALE, I1L ( AP) Some opponents, including Missouri Sen. Thomas F. Eagteton, have labeled them tax- pai- d debauchery. But the federally financed experiments testing the effects of marijuana on human sexual response have the food and Drug Administration's go- ahea- d. Andthey could begin within a week at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Dr. Harris Rubin will conduct the studies. " We are prepared to start almost immediately," he said Monday.

Eagleton, a Democratic member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, spoke against the project as recently as last Friday. He said he had written letters to the attorney general and the director of the FDA demanding the ex-periments be dropped and suggesting their budgets would be subjected to dose scrutiny for noncompliance. He said the experiments are irrelevant to the nation's drug BnBaBnaHHBaaaMBaBawBWHaflDaiaHaHnBHnBaaBBia problem and are appalling. UJS. Attorney Henry Scbwarz, in whose jurisdiction the school lies, also has called for disapproval of the immunity application. Rubin, a psychologist who has conducted similar experiments with alcohol, last spring obtained a $ 121,000 grant from the federal National Institute of Drug Abuse to administer marijuana to paid male volunteers and measure their arousal as they view stag films. Sex hormone levels also will be monitored. All of the test subjects, he said, will be current marijuana users of legal age and will be paid $ 10 to $ 20 a day for their participation. The FDA, which has no power to review the worth or morality of the project is required to certify that the rights of the participants to privacy were protected adequately and that experimental procedures met professional standards. Rubin said be received a letter with that certification Monday. All that is needed now is the im-munity from prosecution. " I hope that won't be too long in coming. We have been told to expect a response within a week," Rubin said. He said he knew of no grounds on which immunity could be denied.
