f f ' STATE I - J SEHY HIT? & LOM ST. COLUMBIA, HO. " 65J101 Voters to decide Flat Branch, New Haven issues By Shawn Baltlwop Missourian staff writer The issues have been related, debated arid elaborated. Columbia voters will decide today the fate cf the $ 31.5 million Flat Branch redevelopment project, and will fill two seats on the Columbia Board of Education. Voters In the New Haven School District will decide Wiistho to. continue as an autonomous school district or request annexation into the Columbia School District The polls opened at 6 a. m. and will close at 7 p. m. Boone County Clerk Chris Kelly said Monday he expects a relatively heavy voter turnout. There are about 41,000 registered voters in the dry. " If 25 percent of the people vote in the city, that would be a heavy turnout," he said. Both proponents and opponents of the Flat Branch issue said a heavy voter turnout would favor their cause. .... Mark Landrum, vice chairman of the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, said he expects the Flat Branch referendum to pass. " I think an organized opposition, just like a revolutionary group, is close knit and can marshal a certain area of support," he said. If the turnout is small, this group would comprise a larger percentage of the -- vote than in the case of a largo turnout he said. Jay Jones, of the Flat Branch opponents, said a heavy turnout would more likely favor his cause than that of the proponents. For that rea-- son, he said, the opponents are hoping for good weather. " It will encflittfee the average citizen to vote, and the; 9onge citizen, I think, is against Flat Branch," he said. The forecast includes a high of 60 degrees F ( 16 C) with a 40 percent chance of shoirers or thundershowers this afternoon and an 80 per-cent chance tonight. The proponents of the Flat' Branch project have said the plan would bring in about $ 20 mil-lion in private investment for the rejuvenation cf a blighted section of downtown Columbia at a cost of $ 5.6 million dollars in local and federal tax dollars. The project would also create about 220 additonal full- tim- e jobs in the Columbia area. The proposed development in the Flat Branch area also would provide the community with a convention center, a major hotel, a variety of retail specialty shops and additional low- inco- me housing. Existing businesses in the area would be relocated. The plan's proponents also have said the plan has sufficient flexibility to allow it to change as economic ccaditions dic-tate. Opponents of the redevelopment project have said the economic times are not right for such a major undertaking. Many of them also oppose the project on philosophical grounds they are opposed to government intervention in busi-ness, an area they say should be reserved for private enterprise. They have said the reloca-tion of existing businesses is unfair and might cause some of those businesses to fail. However, one businessman in the Flat Branch area told the Columbia Missourian Saturday he did not oppose the project Perry Philips; owner of Philips and Co., the largest business in the affected area, said an advertisement placed by project opponents, which showed his business, was misleading and unfair. " It will be Inconvenient for us to move," he said Saturday, " but it will be worth the trouble to see that area cleaned up." The Flat Branch issue will share the spotlight today with school concerns. There are three candidates for two Columbia Board of Education seats. One seat is now held ( See NEW, Page 12A) 72nd Year No. 169 Good Morning!

S. Embassy in Tehran. The Carter administration, insisting that it had made no conciliatory overtures to Iran, was report-ed Sunday in the midst of a major diplomatic effort with its Western allies to put pressure en Iran to take steps to release the American hostages or face new economic and political isolation. Little was being said publicly about the diplo-matic moves since there were some signs from Tehran suggesting that the Iranian government was considering some fresh actions of Us own to resolve the crisis. Press Secretary Jody Powell said Monday that it was likely something would happen in the next day or two to make it clear what had been going on. The Iranian Revolutionary Council was reported ready to take jurisdiction of the hostages. At the same time, Congressional leaders in Washington said President Carter planned to take retaliatory measures today unless there is substantial progress towards a settlement. " The president was very clearly resolute," said Sen. Robert Packwood. R- Or- e., following a meeting with Carter Monday. " Tomorrow is the deadline, and tomorrow he will announce what be is going to do if the message is not satisfactory, period. I think he has decided in his ownmindthattomorrowis it" HBBEX5XflQS3DBHSiK9B3S23HIHMKVVBK99i9HBil9BIUBHiHI Powell said Carter met Monday with the National Security Council and the bipartisan congressional leadership " to review developments in Iran." Sen. Jacob Javits, R- N.- Y., said Carter will ad-dress the nation today and told reporters " the United States has to plow ahead with actions which will make the Iranian government understand that we sre determined to get these hostages released." CBS News reported the Revolutionary Council de-cided to move, the hostages from the embassy after a 4- h- our " special" meeting Sunday night mat was attended by Iranian President Abolhassan Bani Sadr. The Washington Post said " informed sources" re-ported that Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh swayed the council to that position by using a message alleged to have been sent by Carter that was '" conciliatory" ia tone. The United States acknowledged that it had sent two written messages to Iran in the last several days through the Swiss government, but again den-ied that any conciliatory communication bad been transmitted to Ayataliah Ruhollah Khomeini or any other Iranian official. The two written messages, one official said, were toughly worded and warned the Iranians of the re-taliatory measures that were planned. Thus, there was considerable uncertainty here en why the Iranians made public a'coajdliatory- soundin- g statement that officials said was not sent to them. According to the Iranian version, carried by Pars news agency, the " conciliatory" Carter letter pro-posed the formation of a joint committee to solve the problems between the two countries and said the seizure of the embassy was an " understandable re-action." Pars quoted the letter as saying " I would like to emphasize that as soon as the issue of the American hostages in Tehran is solved by their official trans-fer to the government of Iran, we will be ready to adopt a friendly attitude for resolving the problems between us." Tehran Radio, in a broadcast monitored by the BBC, quoted Baui Sadr as saying the message from Carter ' is a victory for our nation and those who are responsible for the affairs cf the country. " It shows that we are light and their ( the American) propaganda was not justified,' he added. " But our action should he in ime with the interests of our country and the revolution, and we cannot take a de-cision on the basis of a letter unless we see it is put into effect and whatever needs to be done is dene." Some officials speculate that the Iranians might be preparing to make a major move, such as trans-ferring control of the American hostages away from the militants, as a first step toward their release, and were using the pretext of a fictitious Carter statement as a face- savin- g move. - The State Department said no administration offi-cials were authorized to send a message such as the ( See COURT, Page 11A) : Carter .. .- -.-.. .." -- QiiaibBMiihpKliomtlnLi iJ53SSSiSra & --" Key developments in tnelran- ia- n crisfsincluded: , t. t' , " ," --- ?-- .."

TrewMtt Baltimore Sun WASHINGTON After more than two years of study, a report by more than 60 nations will rebuff President Carter's appeal for a pause in devel-opment of technology that could spread nuclear weapons. In effect the report, to be issued soon, will confirm a general commit-ment to the fast- breed- er reactor and the nuclear processor. Both systems produce plutonium, the radioactive fis-sionable core of nuclear weapons. Carter tried to set an example in ear-ly 1977 by deferring work on a com-mercial reprocessing plant at Bam- wel- l, S. C., and a fast- breed- er at Clinch River, Tenn. At the same time he urged studies of the dangers in these technologies and of alternative sys-tems. The pending report is called the In-- Insight tematianal Fuel Cycle Evaluation Study. It does not repudiate Carter's con-cerns, informed sources said, but neither does it offer alternatives that would measurably slow the spread of technology that produces plutoaium. In a fast- breed- er reactor, the pluto-nium fuel produces more plutonicm during the nuclear chain reaction, un-like conventional uranium reactors, which gradually exhaust their radioac-tive fuel supply. The reprocesscr ex-tracts plutonium from used uranium fuel rods. The nuclear industry long has seen the plutonium reactor as its hope for the future, because fuel supplies wxild be inexhaustible. Carter administration specialists lost their critical objective several months ago, informed officials say, when other participants in the study rejected language calling for a mora-torium on breeders and reprocessors. However, administration specialists emphamp that they never expected to get everything they wanted from the study. Carter himself, they point out, specifically disavowed any intention to dictate to others when he asked for the review. " It never would have gotten off the ground," one official said, " if we had tried to turn the dock back, asking some of our allies to give up the ad-vances they already have made." He termed it progress that the report underscores the hazards in both proc-esses. It urges caution in their spread to non- nucle- ar nations and explores the alternative systems 009 being' dewel- - ( See NUCLEAR, Page 11A) j III town today 9 a. m.

Carter submits balanced bwflget WASHINGTON ( UPI) President Carter Monday sent Congress the nation's first balanced budget in a decade with a threat to veto any congressional spend-ing mat would push the government into deficit again. As the centerpiece of his anft- inflatio- c program, Carter slashed into the 1961 speeding plans of almost every department including defense to cut $ 15 hfllicsi out of the budget he submitted in January. He also proposed $ 2.6 billion in reductions in the current fiscal year. Vowing " we will succeed in having a balanced bud-get," Carter signed a revised plan which for the first ' time in 12 years would not spend more money than the government takes in. Even the Pentagon faced belt tightening. The de-fense budget still would be bigger than ISStPs at $ 147 billion, but would include $ 1.4 billion in cuts from the January proposal. Saturday mail service was threatened by a reduc-tion in the federal subsidy to the Postal Service. The president also proposed elimination of state revenue sharing to save $ 1.7 billion and dropping $ 1 billion in antirecession aid to cities. Carter, however, provided a half billion dollars for cities badly hurt by the cutoff in state revenue shar-ing. " We -- have a real fight ahead" if inflation is to be curbed, Carter said at me budget signing in the White House Cabinet Room. He urged Congress to approve the budget cuts, threstciftd to use his veto if legislators overspend, and said if that fails he will ask Congress for " a tem-porary grant of extraordinary budget restraint pow-ers." Congress, angered by President Nixon's refusal to spend appropriated funds, several years ago took away the president's power to impound money voted for approved programs. Budget committees in both houses of Congress al-ready have started slashing the president's January budget and the House committee has gone beyond Carter's proposal by suggesting $ 1.5 billion more in cuts more than me president asked. Congress will approve its own version of the budget targets after Easter and will pass the final budget in the fall. Carter also urged " prompt and constructive ac-tion" by Congress on his proposed $ 2.6 billion in spending cuts this fiscal year which ends Sept. 30. " The cuts are fair," Budget Director James McIntyre said at a briefing for reporters. " No single group will bear a significant part of the austerity." McIntyre asserted the administration has not bal anced the budget " en the backs of the poor," a re-sponse to charges by liberals that the poor would bear a disproportiorate shars. ofthe economic burden. McIntyre noted the administration did not cut funds for Social Security, Medicaid or Aid to Families with Dependent Children. However, the cuts did delay planned food stamp and child welfare reforms, ex-pansion of Medicaid and Medicare and the new Child Health Assurance Program; eliminate 50,000 CETA public works jobs and cut funds for health services and education. Included in the package is a $ 250 million cut in pay-ments to the U. S. Postal Service in 1981, which the budget document says " is expected to reduce normal delivery of mail to five days per week." -- v However, Mclntyre said it would be up to the Postal' -- Service to decide how to cut mat amount of money. The chairman of the House Post Office ( Committee said last week that a cut of $ 250 million would leave enough money to retain Saturday mail deliveries. A new projection by the president's economic ad-visers, included in the revised budget, estimates con-sumer prices will rise 12.8 percent during fiscal 1930, the same as 1979. It projected 9 percent inflation for 1981. In January, the administration had estimated 10.7 percent inflation this year and 8.7 percent for 1981. Hemlines, ranging from extreme minis to ankle length, are the hottest topic at the Paris fashion shows. This slinky dress bares the kneecaps. Skimpy skirts join fall's fashion line PARIS ( UPI) If you've kept any of those skimpy skirts of the ' 60s, now is the time to pull them out because they're coming back in fashion. - Although the mini- ski- rt is being revived in the fall- wint- er Paris ready- to- we- ar collections that run through Wednesday, they are also competing with moremodest lengths. From mid- thig- h to ankle- to- p, designers in the Paris rag trade are giving women the choice over bow much or now little they want to expose next season. The radical lengths reflect the desire to present a dramatic but salable style. Concerned about a 12 percent drop in sales to the United States, Paris designers are determined to protect their over-all $ 175 million export market in the increasing rivalry with their Milan counterparts. Qincbed- i- n waists have moved over for the dropped waist look, which was done especially well in Chloe's showing Monday. In mini's, Chloe was fond of a criss- cross- ed V- ne- ck knit dresses mat just covered the derriere. They were teamed up with a low- slun- g belt and an oversized cardigan that was an inch or two longer than the mini. At Christian Dior's showiag Monday, dropped waists listi- ng around the hips were emphasised with short puckered skirtaln suits, Dior strutted a grey flannel pleated skirtJust covering the knee worn with a long, doubte- breste- d quoted jacket in pink and grey stripes. In their showings Sunday, designers Muriel Gratean and Emansel Ungaro veered away from the raini- skir- t trend and put hesoimes right at the knee or a little above it in states that were elegant and sophisticated. Ungaro was especially fond of topping his dresses and slacks with loose- fittin- g black and black- and- whi- te plaid jackets. like other designers this week, Ungaro favored " pinky" heels sometimes no higher than an inch, black stockings and small caps accented with feathers. Sleeves were slightly puffed and there was blackvelvet asdlace for ttecyenfeg. Stripes were also seen at Tariaei's show, used inrnini1 skirts and sweat suit- lik- e pants outfits. Unfortuoatiey for women with a few extra pounds, the stripes were borizaolal.

In effect the report, to be issued soon, will confirm a general commit-ment to the fast- breed- er reactor and the nuclear processor. Both systems produce plutonium, the radioactive fis-sionable core of nuclear weapons.

Carter submits balanced bwflget WASHINGTON ( UPI) President Carter Monday sent Congress the nation's first balanced budget in a decade with a threat to veto any congressional spend-ing mat would push the government into deficit again. As the centerpiece of his anft- inflatio- c program, Carter slashed into the 1961 speeding plans of almost every department including defense to cut $ 15 hfllicsi out of the budget he submitted in January. He also proposed $ 2.6 billion in reductions in the current fiscal year. Vowing " we will succeed in having a balanced bud-get," Carter signed a revised plan which for the first ' time in 12 years would not spend more money than the government takes in. Even the Pentagon faced belt tightening. The de-fense budget still would be bigger than ISStPs at $ 147 billion, but would include $ 1.4 billion in cuts from the January proposal. Saturday mail service was threatened by a reduc-tion in the federal subsidy to the Postal Service. The president also proposed elimination of state revenue sharing to save $ 1.7 billion and dropping $ 1 billion in antirecession aid to cities. Carter, however, provided a half billion dollars for cities badly hurt by the cutoff in state revenue shar-ing. " We -- have a real fight ahead" if inflation is to be curbed, Carter said at me budget signing in the White House Cabinet Room. He urged Congress to approve the budget cuts, threstciftd to use his veto if legislators overspend, and said if that fails he will ask Congress for " a tem-porary grant of extraordinary budget restraint pow-ers." Congress, angered by President Nixon's refusal to spend appropriated funds, several years ago took away the president's power to impound money voted for approved programs. Budget committees in both houses of Congress al-ready have started slashing the president's January budget and the House committee has gone beyond Carter's proposal by suggesting $ 1.5 billion more in cuts more than me president asked. Congress will approve its own version of the budget targets after Easter and will pass the final budget in the fall. Carter also urged " prompt and constructive ac-tion" by Congress on his proposed $ 2.6 billion in spending cuts this fiscal year which ends Sept. 30. " The cuts are fair," Budget Director James McIntyre said at a briefing for reporters. " No single group will bear a significant part of the austerity." McIntyre asserted the administration has not bal anced the budget " en the backs of the poor," a re-sponse to charges by liberals that the poor would bear a disproportiorate shars. ofthe economic burden. McIntyre noted the administration did not cut funds for Social Security, Medicaid or Aid to Families with Dependent Children. However, the cuts did delay planned food stamp and child welfare reforms, ex-pansion of Medicaid and Medicare and the new Child Health Assurance Program; eliminate 50,000 CETA public works jobs and cut funds for health services and education. Included in the package is a $ 250 million cut in pay-ments to the U. S. Postal Service in 1981, which the budget document says " is expected to reduce normal delivery of mail to five days per week." -- v However, Mclntyre said it would be up to the Postal' -- Service to decide how to cut mat amount of money. The chairman of the House Post Office ( Committee said last week that a cut of $ 250 million would leave enough money to retain Saturday mail deliveries. A new projection by the president's economic ad-visers, included in the revised budget, estimates con-sumer prices will rise 12.8 percent during fiscal 1930, the same as 1979. It projected 9 percent inflation for 1981. In January, the administration had estimated 10.7 percent inflation this year and 8.7 percent for 1981. Hemlines, ranging from extreme minis to ankle length, are the hottest topic at the Paris fashion shows. This slinky dress bares the kneecaps. Skimpy skirts join fall's fashion line PARIS ( UPI) If you've kept any of those skimpy skirts of the ' 60s, now is the time to pull them out because they're coming back in fashion. - Although the mini- ski- rt is being revived in the fall- wint- er Paris ready- to- we- ar collections that run through Wednesday, they are also competing with moremodest lengths. From mid- thig- h to ankle- to- p, designers in the Paris rag trade are giving women the choice over bow much or now little they want to expose next season. The radical lengths reflect the desire to present a dramatic but salable style. Concerned about a 12 percent drop in sales to the United States, Paris designers are determined to protect their over-all $ 175 million export market in the increasing rivalry with their Milan counterparts. Qincbed- i- n waists have moved over for the dropped waist look, which was done especially well in Chloe's showing Monday. In mini's, Chloe was fond of a criss- cross- ed V- ne- ck knit dresses mat just covered the derriere. They were teamed up with a low- slun- g belt and an oversized cardigan that was an inch or two longer than the mini. At Christian Dior's showiag Monday, dropped waists listi- ng around the hips were emphasised with short puckered skirtaln suits, Dior strutted a grey flannel pleated skirtJust covering the knee worn with a long, doubte- breste- d quoted jacket in pink and grey stripes. In their showings Sunday, designers Muriel Gratean and Emansel Ungaro veered away from the raini- skir- t trend and put hesoimes right at the knee or a little above it in states that were elegant and sophisticated. Ungaro was especially fond of topping his dresses and slacks with loose- fittin- g black and black- and- whi- te plaid jackets. like other designers this week, Ungaro favored " pinky" heels sometimes no higher than an inch, black stockings and small caps accented with feathers. Sleeves were slightly puffed and there was blackvelvet asdlace for ttecyenfeg. Stripes were also seen at Tariaei's show, used inrnini1 skirts and sweat suit- lik- e pants outfits. Unfortuoatiey for women with a few extra pounds, the stripes were borizaolal. |
