70 'NO. 254 (USPS 133-700) COSHOCTON, OHIO 43812 MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1980 TWENTY CENTS GOP HopeMs Step Up Attack 'V'tlV By LEE BYRD Associated Press Writer Kansas Sen. Robert Dole, who once exhorted voters to make him president "if you want a younger Ronald Reagan," is now rooting for the elder one in an effort timed to bolster the Republican frontrunner in Tuesday's farm-state primaries. Dole turned up at Reagan's side Sunday night and declared to an audience in Overland Park, that it is time for the GOP to unite behind the 69-year-old former governor of California. "More than ever," said Dole, "grass-roots Republicans want Ronald Reagan." He added that Reagan has "a virtual hammer-lock on our party's nomination." Rep.

John B. Anderson, meanwhile, indicated he is closer than ever to offering himself as an independent alternative should Reagan head the GOP ticket and President Carter wins Democratic re-nomination. The Illinois Republican said on national television that many of his supporters "simply would be unhappy" with a Carter-Reagan choice, and "I am not going to let down the people who have put their faith and trust in me. Every major candidate of both parties except the president himself focused on Wisconsin today. That state will chose 75 delegates to the Democratic national convention and 34 to the GOP convention in Tuesday's balloting.

Kansas will pick 37 Democratic delegates and 32 Republicans. Anderson and former U.N. Ambassador George Bush both took swipes at the burgeoning confusion over U.S. contacts with Iran. Bush declared in Madison, that "It's time for Jimmy Carter to level the American people are getting three.

An investigation is currently being conducted by the department. (Photo Special to The Tribune By Derf Taylor) The wreckage of a fatal crash Saturday night that killed three county residents is examined by fire department officials and a sheriff's deputy in photos above and at right. An auto driven by Terry Walters, 516 Cemetery Drive, Collided with a westbound Conrail tram at the railroad crossing on Tuscarawas Township Road 270, resulting in the deaths of Walters, Suzanne E. Stewart, 25, and their daughter, Megan R. Halters, age 2.

According to the Sheriff's department, the crash was the first fatal accident of the year, which brings the number of highway deaths to silence or doubletalk." Similarly, Anderson said the administration should immediately "come clean on the whole question." He added that if it is true, as reports from Iran insist, that Carter has communicated with the government there in an apologetic tone, then it amounts to the "latest example of ineptitude." White House press secretary Jody Powell admitted in Madison that Carter sent messages last week to Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, but denied that they admitted mistakes in past U.S. policy. In Kansas, Reagan repeated his recent declaration that had he been president when the American Embassy and 50 hostages were seized in Tehran, he would have allowed only 48 to 72 hours to explore a diplomatic solution. "There's no need to take any longer than that," Reagan said. If diplomacy had then failed, he said, he would have privately told the Iranian government to release the hostages to a neutral government by a specified deadline "or on that date something very unpleasant is going to happen to your country." Democratic challenger Edward M.

Kennedy, meanwhile, scored the president once more for his handling of inflation and demanded that Carter "come out of the Rose Garden and talk with the people of Wisconsin, on their farms and in their factories." Campaigning in a state he had virtually conceded to Carter before an upsurge in his fortunes last week, Kennedy also took heated issue with the president's use of the words "demagogue" and "misleading" while referring to the Massachusetts senator's economic strategy.

12 in Chicago where his illness was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, a cancer doctors said usually is associated with heavy cigarette smoking. Doctors said Owens had smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day for 35 years. In January, Owens began undergoing treatment in Early in March he returned to the Phoenix area, where he has operated a public relations firm, but a week ago he was transferred to Tucson for further treatment. Owens was 22 when his record-" setting performance in Berlin shattered German leader Adolf Hitler's hopes for Aryan supremacy at the Games. Owens had recently opposed President Carter's call for boycotting the Moscow Olympics, saying politics have no place in the Games.

Such was the magnitude of Owens' Olympic feat in the 1936 Berlin Games that it became a standard, a yardstick by which other accomplishments were measured. When swimmer Mark Spitz won an extraordinary seven gold medals in the 1976 Summer Games in Munich, it was compared to Owens' record. And when Eric Heiden swept five gold medals in speed skating events at the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y., again it was Owens' name that surfaced for comparison. Perhaps the best indication of his greatness, though, was that it took four decades before the last of his 11 world records in track and field vanished from the record books. "I looked upon them as a part of history," he said in 1975, shortly after his name disappeared from the list of record-holders.

"I was proud to be involved in that history-making process, but I have nothing but admiration for the kids coming along today." Owens was not able to use his Olympic victory for a movie or sports career because of the racial situations at the time. However, ultimately, he became a successful businessman, a national spokesman for the American Olympic movement and the State Department's "Ambassador to Sports." And 40 years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to invite him to the White House, President Gerald R. Ford honored Owens by presenting him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on Aug. 5, 1976.

A winter storm watch was posted for Nebraska through tonight, after a day-long respite from a three-day storm that left more than 2 feet of snow. The heavy, wet snow caught Nebraska cattlemen at the peak of calving season, and officials feared a new storm could devastate the calf crop.

A 1975 storm killed 56.000 calves, costing cattlemen $4 million. One cattleman, Oran Magnu-son, of Arthur, said he'd already had at least 30 calves suffocate in snow drifts of up to 12 feet.

Budget Release Coming WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter's revised fiscal 1981 budget may have little influence on Congress, which already appears determined to outdo the president in spending cutbacks. Carter planned to release the new budget later today. It was known in advance that it will propose $15 billion less spending than Carter's original budget, proposed in January. The new budget, if adopted, will show a- surplus of revenue over spending, marking the first time in 12 years the government has operated in the black. The budget is for the fiscal year beginning next Oct.

1. The president also was ready today to sign legislation designed to help small savers battle rising inflation. The bill will phase out over six years all limits on the amount of interest banks and thrift institutions can pay savers. This will be particularly helpful to small savers, who rely on passbook accounts, which currently pay only 5.5 percent at thrift institutions and 5.25 percent at commercial banks. Carter has said a balanced budget will be important in helping to slow inflation, now at an annual rate of 18 percent.

His new anti-inflation strategy announced March 14 included a balanced 1981 budget, credit controls and a new oil import fee. But while Carter said the budget would be in balance, he did not reveal just how he will do it. Even before the new Carter budget went to the printers, however, the House Budget Committee had recommended still deeper cuts, totaling $16.5 billion below the original Carter budget. The president, it was learned, wants to cut $1 billion from the defense budget he proposed In January. He also would effect major reductions in spending for jobs programs, the strategic petroleum reserves, federal retirement benefits and revenue sharing for the states, which would be eliminated for an annual savings of $1.7 billion.

The list of congressional reductions duplicates many of the areas where Carter wants savings made. The president appears not to mind that Congress is ahead of him, however, and administration officials privately voiced pleasure that Congress thus will be sharing responsibility for the cutbacks in some of the government's more popular programs. Some liberals and representatives of minority groups have accused Carter of balancing the budget at the expense of poor and disadvantaged Americans. confirmed the President had sent a communication to Iran, then again denied the same and finally confirmed the communication.

In the rain-battered South, residents were urged to leave Franklinton, as a second flood crest rolled toward the Colombian Terrorists Free Pair BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) Leftists holding the Dominican Republic's Embassy for more than a month freed two of their 29 remaining captives on Palm Sunday and were expected to free six or eight more before Easter. The release at dusk Sunday took the military police surrounding the embassy by surprise. After a shout rang out from the embassy, two men appeared in front and began to push a red Volkswagen.

The car apparently belonged to one of them and had been parked at the embassy since the guerrillas stormed the building during a diplomatic reception Feb. 27. The men were taken to a military hospital to be examined. A Foreign Ministry source said they were Simon Rodriguez, a magistrate from the Cundina-marca district, and Jorge Valencia, a business executive. Their release left 27 hostages, and today is their 33rd day of captivity in the embassy.

They include U.S. Ambassador Diego Asencio and 12 other ambassadors and acting ambassdors, six consuls, four other foreigners, two Colombian civilians and two Colombian protocol officers. The leader of the guerrillas, who calls himself Comandante Uno, told a priest who visited the embassy Friday with a message from Pope John Paul II that he would release all those without diplomatic rank during Holy Week. But it was not known whether he would free the protocol officers, who are on the staff of the Foreign Ministry but don't have diplomatic rank. The priest said the pope urged the guerrillas to free all the hostages.

The papal nuncio to Colombia, Monsignor Angelo Acerbl, is among the hostages.

Benson Wolman said the ACLU this weekend sent telegrams to the U.S. Department of delivered two messages from Carter to Bani-Sadr, early last week and on Sunday. But Powell insisted that his denial of the Iranian announcement of the first message was accurate because of the way he phrased it.

Radio Tehran announced Saturday that Carter sent a message to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian revolutionary regime, saying the Carter administration "inherited a very sensitive international situation which is the result of other-policies and circumstances and made all of us commit mistakes in the past." Powell on Sunday repeated the denial he made the day before, that "no message such as the one reported from Tehran had been sent by the president or any other American official to any Iranian official." "That statement Is In fact accurate," added Powell, who spoke to reporters In Madison, during a brief visit prior to Tuesday's Wisconsin presidential primary. He gave no Information on the contents of either of Carter's messages. The council's decision was reported by the CBS-News correspondent in Tehran, who quoted informed sources as saying it was reached Sunday night by a vole of 7-6, with hardliners opposing those who favored any conciliatory gesture toward the United States. Tehran officials denied any decision was reached. A Foreign Ministry spokesman contacted by another Western journalist in Tehran said, however, the subject of a hostage transfer was taken up by the council and that President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr would discuss the matter tonight with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's revolutionary leader who would have the final word.

The report of the council's decision on the hostages came after a White House spokesman admitted President Carter sent messages last week to BaniSadr but denied a report from Tehran that the While House admitted making mistakes in its policies toward Iran.
