US O.vl ol Carter energy proposals Taxes to be reconsidered WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Finance Committee which rejscted President Carter's prtoosed energy taxes, hag set the stage for enactment of a bill imposing some of those same taxes. If the full Senate goes along with legislation recommended by the committee, a Senate- House conference will decide later this month which of Carter's tax suggestions should become law.

The result Is likely to be a marriage of some of Carter's new taxes a plan largely approved by the House with some of the tax breaks proposed by the Senate committee. Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said Friday the administration hopes the final version will be close to the orginal Carter olan. He also said the administration Is not willing to rewrite its energy but will fight to get as many of Its proposals into the final bill as possible. The finance committee approved its version of the energy tax bill Friday. While Carter would depend on new taxes to force energy conservation, the finance committee would rely solely on a series of tax breaks to reward conservation.

The tax breaks are estimated to cost the treasury about $32 billion between 1978 and 1985. The Senate Is expected, to begin debate on the tax bill about Oct. 25. It is unlikely that any effort will be made to restore the Carter taxes But since the taxes are included In the House-passed bill, the conference committee must consider when It meets to work out the final compromise version of the legislation. Thus, the final bill could contain the heart of Carter's energy program a new tax designed to force conservation by raising the price of U.S.- produced oil and some form of penalty on cars with low gasoline mileage.

It Is less likely to Include another big Carter tax, a new levy aimed at forcing factories to switch from oil or gas to coal. The House approved all three taxes. The Senate finance committee rejected them, opting for its tax breaks, mainly for Industries, utilities and businesses. The biggest tax break, designed to save one million barrels of oil a day, would have the federal government pay half the cost of new boilers and other equipment to convert facilities from oil'or natural gas to coal.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) The prosecution in the Virginia Piper kidnaping case is trying to match fingerprints and hair found' in the alleged kidnap vehicle with defendants Kenneth Callahan and Donald Larson, as the trial of the two men heads into its second week. An FBI fingerprint expert testified Friday that a fingerprint taken from Larson matches a print taken from a scrap of brown paper found in Administration saying treaty tide is turning WASHINGTON (AP) The Carter administration is claiming a generally favorable Senate reaction to a new effort by President Carter and Panama's Omar Torrijos to defuse controversy over the Panama Canal treaty. Carter and the Panamanian leader agreed Friday, largely for the benefit of skeptical senators, that the pact would allow United States to defend the waterway against any threat.

In an unsigned "statement of understanding," they also agreed U.S. warships would pass through the canal ahead of others in any crisis. Carter said he thought the statement resolved "the major differences of interpretation" that have threatened Senate ratification of the treaty. His negotiator, Ambassador Sol Linowitz, told reporters he showed the statement to Senate leaders and "the reaction was very favorable He in- dicated this assessment applied to Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd and the Republican leader, Howard Baker, neither of whom has said how he'll vote on the treaty. Byrd was described as "certainly pleased." Linowitz reported it would be fair to say Baker "regarded this as a significant step forward." The senators themselves have not commented on how they viewed the statement.

Following the early morning Carter-Torrijos meeting Friday, the White House delayed release of the statement for more than six hours while Linowitz reviewed it with Byrd, Baker and all available members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Later, former secretaries of state Dean Rusk and Henry Kissinger told the Senate committee the treaty adequately guarantees U.S. rights. Although Linowitz said neither Carter nor Torrijos signed the joint statement, he noted it becomes part of the legislative history of the treaty and is on the record "so there can be no mistaking what both parties intended by the language that was used." Linowitz said he assured members of the Foreign Relations Committee that the reference in the statement to Panama's "territorial integrity" would not bar the United States from landing troops to protect the canal should that be necessary. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said Linowitz also assured the senators that if internal Panamanian actions constitute a threat to the canal, the United States could act to safeguard the canal.

While Senate consideration of the treaty is expected to extend into 1978, Panamanians will adopt or reject the agreement in a plebescite Oct. 23.

Omar Torrijos. But the head of the jdrug Enforcement Administration says accusations, "most of them hearsay," cannot be confirmed. DBA Director Peter Bensinger told reporters Friday his agency is not investigating Torrijos or his family, members of which are named in numerous confidential files on illicit drug trade. He said the files include allegations made in 1971 and 1972. "We gpt a lot of reports on a lot of people and a lot of places in the world.

Mrs. Walter (Alvina) Kayser Edmund Kulak Mrs. Lorraine Kllburn Adv cannot be characterized in a fashion I would represent as conclusionary in any way regarding Omar Torrijos." Bensinger said. The DEA chief was asked about the drug charges after Torrijos and President Carter met for 90 minutes Friday in an attempt to clarify Panama's position on U.S. rights to defend the canal and the rights of American warships to receive priority access.

But as Carter attempted to defuse the controversy over canal defenses, the drug allegations surrounding the Torrijos family showed signs of becoming a new rallying point for treaty opponents. The Justice Department acknowledged on Thursday that Omar Torrijos 1 brother, Moises, who is Panama's ambassador to Spain, had been indicted for drug trafficking in New York five years ago. Then Sen. Bob Dole, a leading opponent of the treaty, said the DEA should turn, over to the a senate any files pertaining to Torrijos and possible illicit drug trafficking. Dole earlier had triggered the debate over U.S.

access and intervention rights by leaking a secret State Department cable that indicated the Panamanian and U.S. governments interpreted the defense section of the canal treaty differently. Sen. Jesse Helms, joined Dole in pursuing the drug allegations. He asked Atty.

Gen. Griffin Bell to explain what steps have been taken to find out about Torrijos' activities, calling them a "crucial" issue for the American people. He also asked Bell to explain a 1975 DBA internal memo quoting a "confidential source" as saying Ramiro Rivas, owner of a Panamanian cement plant, claimed to be a drug traffic partner of Omar Torrijos, using a $750,000 Miami bank account. According to the report, Rivas said Panamanian planes were used to fly drugs apparently cocaine and marijuana from Cuba, Peru and Colombia to Panama, from where they were shipped to the United States. The DBA refused to comment on any of this.

More affection, less violence MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Saying that society is in an "absolute crisis stale," a government scientist is calling for a 10-year ban on television and movie violence, and more emphasis on physical affection. James Prescott, a neuropsychologist with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, told a Min- neapojis audience Friday that television, movies and Judeo- Chnstian heritage sanction bodily pain and repress physical pleasure. He said that leads to a violent society. The roots of child abuse, wife-beating and other violence can be found in the lack of affectionate touching between infant and parent, he said. He said cultures that gave infants a lot of touching, holding carrying are rated very tow in adult physical violence.

There is no justification for the traditional hospital practice of removing a newborn baby from its mother or father, he added. Prescott agreed to write an article on child abuse for the October issue of Hustler magazine. He said he got no pay for the article and thought it would be worthwhile to get his message to Hustler readers who do not buy more conventional magazines. "When we are deprived of physical affection during infancy and we develop an aversion to being touched; and therefore it becomes extremely difficult to accept touching as pleasurable," he said, in the is very hard to overcome this condition once a person reaches adulthood. "We must reject the Idea that pain and violence are both necessary and moral and that physical pleasure is immoral.

In the trial that began Tuesday, the two men are accused of abducting Mrs. Piper from her home in Orono, an exclusive Minneapolis suburb, on July 27,1972, Mrs. Piper, 54, was found chained to a tree in the wooded Jay Cooke State Park near Duluth two days later, after her husband, investment broker Harry C. Piper paid a $1 million ransom.

James K. Howell, FBI fingerprint specialist, said he took a fingerprint from the paper scrap the prosecution introduced into evidence Friday. On Jan. 20, 1977. Howell' testified, he compared the print from the paper scrap with a print of one of Larson's little fingers and found they matched.

Howell also said he was able to match the print from the paper scrap with prints the FBI had on file before the kidnaping occurred. He said he had examined the prints three times, before making the positive iden- On cross-examination, Bruce Hartigan, Larson's attorney, askecTHowell why he had been unable to make posjtive identification of the print until this year. Howell said when he developed the first print found on the paper it was "extremely fragmentary" but that later he was able to find the "correct characteristics" of the print to link it to Larson. Callahan's attorney, Meshbesher, noted that authorities had whittled the number of prints that might have belonged to the kidnapers 'to 73. He asked Howell if Callahan.

or Larson had ever been matched to any of those prints. Howell said they had not. WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter let it be known Friday that he doesn't his discussions with Israel's foreign minister have been and he denied threatening Israel with Isolation If it didn't agree on preparations for Middle East peace talks. At the same time, a White House official who asked to remain anonymous said Carter's top advisers felt he wasn't tough enough with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe plo2 "If anything, he was too mild and restrained," the official quoted one adviser as saying. Through White House Deputy Press Secretary Rex Granum, the President discounted Israeli news reports in Jerusalem saying Israel had been threatened with "total isolation" if agreement could not be reached on a U.S:-Israeli working'paper on the peace talks.

The White House official said Carter's advisers doubt Dayan made that statement or others attributed to 'him in the published accounts. The reports, apparently based on leaks from a briefing Dayan gave Wednesday to committees of the Israeli parliament, also said Dayan described his talks with Carter as "difficult and at times brutal." According to those reports, Dayan said he nearly "jumped out of my skin" when Carter Professor says Bakke will lose LANSING, Mich.

He said Friday the court will rule unanimously in favor of Bakke, who argues he was the victim of unconstitutional reverse discrimination.

(AP) Freight rates for barley moving from the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota to Minnesota points are going to be cut an average 30 per cent, Burlington Northern railroad officials say.
