2 Salina Journal Monday, May 20, 1974 Kissinger seeks final agreement with Syria VJ I Secretary of Henry A. Kissinger arrived from today to get Syria's final agree- on a cease-fire and establishment "Kissinger line" separating 5s- and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights. high American official aboard Kis- 1 singer's plane said that Israel and Syria 2 had basically agreed on a buffer zone between the two forces and that the zone will vary in width from two to six kilometers (1.2 and 3.6 miles). The official said Kissinger expected to get from Syrian President Hafez As- sad the final agreement on a cease-fire line which both Israel and Syria have provisionally accepted. Kissinger's talks with President Hafez Assad started over a a working lunch at the presidential palace at 2 pin.

(5 a.m. CDT). The cease-fire line is the key issue, and there also has been agreement in principle as well on a thinning out of forces, a buffer zone, a role for the United Nations and an exchange of war prisoners. The high American official said today will be the first day Kissinger and As- sad will sit down and work out the concrete details and there could still be many snags. The toughest issues, he said, will be the limitation of forces on both sides of the cease-fire line and the narrow buffer zone.

This is Kissinger's seventh shuttle to Damascus and the fourth week of his longest mission abroad. The high official said that he hoped to complete the details of the agreement this week, but in any case it was the last he could spend in the area at this time.

V. Mooney home, 843 Martin.

Mooney said he and his family took the candle to the basement with them during the storm and forgot to put it out when they returned upstairs. When the candle reached bottom it set fire to its plastic case, igniting the coffee table on which it was placed. The burning plastic caused "immense" smoke damage to the basement, firemen said, and light soot was found throughout the upstairs. The coffee table was destroyed.

Christine Johnson, 35, of harboring fugitives, were dropped Sunday night and she was released, police said today. Johnson said Miss Hearst told him last Thursday that; "They'll have to kill me before I go back." "She told me she was with them on their side," Johnson said.

He said Miss Hearst was wearing a pistol and wanted to stay with the others, but they apparently sent her away to keep her from being involved in the gunfight. "I think some (black) brothers tipped them off that the cops were onto them and that's why they got Patty out of there --you know, their love for her." He said a van containing two black men drove up. and Miss Hearst got into it and left with them. He said he talked to her for half an hour and "she was a beautiful person to me. real intelligent and all." Camilla's death was attempt to awaken US? LINCOLNWOOD.

"But the causes they were concerned about were of concern to all of us. I'm trying to rationalize this in my mind." Hall managed to smile several times during the news conference at the church, but Ivan Norstrand. his assistant pastor, said. "He's hurting. "It's a i Norstrand said.

(Journal Photo) Prime rate rises again NEW YORK A First National Bank of Chicago, the nation's ninth largest commercial bank, today announced it was raising its prime lending rate to a recprd per cent from 11.40 per cent effective Tuesday.

The rate tops the per cent announced Friday by a number of major commercial banks, including the country's three largest. Bank of America, First National City and Chase Manhattan. Chauncey E. Schmidt, president of the Chicago bank, said in making the announcement that he expected an easing before long in the prime rate. The prime rate is the rate banks charge their biggest and best corporate customers.

While not directly tied to the rates charged for consumer loans, the prime can signal changes in those rates as well. Kennedy discloses 1973 tax returns BOSTON (UPI) Sen. Edward M. Kennedy a member of one of the nation's richest families, had an income of $461,444 last year and paid $217.844 in taxes, according to his 1973 tax returns. Kennedy gave the Boston Globe and the Herald American copies of his 1973 tax return but declined to divulge the net worth of his personal fortune.

All but $43.540 of the income came from family trust funds which total approximately $8.6 million, the Globe said. Senators make $42,500 a year. "Although a long-time foe of special treatment for the oil industry, the return shows the senator has a minor interest in the Forest Oil Co. which brought him $3.507.85 last year on four leases." the article said. "Kennedy took a $765.24 deduction from this income because of the oil depletion allowance, a tax incentive for oil speculators which he has long opposed, but which is still in effect." In addition to his federal income taxes.

Kennedy also paid $8.180.55 taxes on his Me Lean. home and $3,890 on his summer residence in Hyannis Port, Mass. He also paid $20.434 on his home mortgage and $3.890 on a chattel mortgage on his 50-foot sailboat. Kennedy made his return public at the request of the newspaper. He declined to issue a statement on his worth "since that action might jeopardize the privacy of other family members.

Chased, forced to stop, 2 motorists say Rowdy motorists forced autos to a halt and heaped insult onto injury for drivers in 2 similar accidents reported over the weekend in Salina. Scott W. Marshall. 19, 589 Upper Mill Drive, told police he was driving in west Salina Saturday night when another car began pursuing him, finally forcing him to stop in the 200 block of South Broadway. Four men emerged from the car and started a fight, he said.

One of the men allegedly punched Marshall, loosening a tooth. Wilke Richard Renwick III, 18, Denver. told authorities his auto was trapped in a dead-end street by a pursuing car early Sunday in central Salina. Two men got out of the other car and kicked his car. causing an estimated $200 damage.

Sebelius soys: Transcripts reveal a callous Nixon Rep. Keith Sebelius said Monday President Nixon's Watergate tapes transcripts "are depressing to read and give an unfavorable view of the President. "The transcripts reveal no apparent attempt in the White House to distinguish between right and wrong and they reveal a callous attempt to misuse the power of government in an immoral and illegal atmosphere." Sebelius' comments were his strongest reaction yet to the transcripts contents. He said he had not read the entire 1300-plus page volume. "But I have not yet read anything which proves the President is guilty of an impeachable offense," he declared.

Sebelius remarks were in a speech Monday at the Salina Rotary club. Sebelius said the continuing Watergate scandal, plus the contents of the transcript are "eroding our capacity to govern. "I can't buy the apparent theory of criminality or immorality on the grounds that they are 'good' for some higher purpose. "Richard Nixon certainly needs to reestablish the credibility of the presidency," he said. None hurt in Jewell car-school bus crash JEWELL Three school children were shaken up but apparently unhurt in a car-school bus collision Monday morning about 5 miles east of Jewell.

Mrs. Vern Penn. Jewell, said they were examined by a doctor. The driver of the car was not injured. Names were not immediately available.

Tax statements mailed Monday Second-half statements for 1973 property taxes were to be mailed Monday afternoon by the Saline county treasurer's office. Treasurer Keith Lilly said there were about 15.000 statements. The taxes are due June 20. More rains may mean serious area flooding (Continued from Page 1) Spring creeks join northwest of Salina. There's about 75,000 acres of drainage which must push past the northern edge of Salina before joining the Saline.

Mulberry creek rose rapidly Sunday, closing 5th Street Road and flooding areas near the US81 and 1-70 interchange. Thomas park was under water and North Ohio Street was cut south of the 1-70 interchange. Gypsum flooded Meanwhile, Gypsum was in flood Monday with water falling slowly. Gypsum creek flows north across Saline county to join the Smoky Hill. It was swollen with rains reported between 5 and 5Vz inches at Gypsum and a reported 5.9 inches at Roxbury.

"It was about 8 inches below the mark of last October in my office," said Barney Karber of Gypsum, "but it was only about one inch below that mark at our home. It's one of the muddiest floods we've had: looks like a river flood." Karber said Gypsum had a heavy rain Sunday morning when Salina also experienced a sharp downpour. "You couldn't see across the street," he said. The Gypsum water crested late Sunday afternoon, but the fall has been slow and K4 still was under water at the south edge of Gypsum Monday morning. Most observers believe Mulberry creek was as high as the last October level, but the general situation did not appear to approach that threat yet because other streams in Central Kansas did not report trouble.

By Monday afternoon. Mulberry creek was falling rapidly at US81 and 1-70, but there were acres of flooded fields still to drain. There were torrential downpours in the thunderclouds. Ellsworth, for example, reported a total of 5.46 inches to go with Brookville's 4.65 inches. Elmo had 4.65.

The official rainfall in Salina wasn't all that impressive. The FFA flight service station at the airport measured .91 of an inch before midnight Saturday and only .15 of an inch for Sunday. Other gauges held considerably more. A downtown gauge, for example, showed 2.05 inches. The Dry Creek pumping station of the Salina flood control works was operated from 5:30 am Sunday until 3 pm and the Indian Rock inlet on the Smoky Hill river was closed overnight Sunday.

There were no major problems in the city. Saturday evening, tornadic winds interrupted power to 2500 to 3000 customers of Kansas Power and Light in south Salina with KPL damage estimated at about $5000 from downed power lines and broken poles. "Actually." said Steve Waite of KPL, "we were a i fortunate. Within 45 minutes, we had service restored to all but about 100 of our customers and about 150 customers for DSO which we supply. Everyone was back in service by Sunday noon." Phone service cut The Mulberry creek water cut telephone communications west of Salina.

Brad Olds, of Southwestern Bell Telephone, said terminals on a cable serving the area are wet. "We can't get to the terminals until the water goes down." He estimated about 75 lines were affected with possibly 150 customers out of service. State Street was closed at the 1-35 interchange west of Salina Sunday when high water seeped into a fuel tank at the APCO terminal and spread a film of "slop" fuel on the surface of the water. The road was reopened to traffic Monday morning. The water apparently overtopped the protective dike around the APCO storage station on State Street Road, setting empty tanks afloat.

The water was draining out a breech in the dike Monday noon. Late Monday morning, the Highway Patrol and Saline county sheriff's office had no reports of water over old US40 in the New Cambria area. Here are other rainfall reports as of 7 am Monday: Abilene. .35 Aurora. 1.70 Concordia.

.83 Beaver. 2.67 Enterprise, .52 Gtasco, .53 Heringlon. 1.53 Kanopolisdam. 1.32 Lindsborg, 2.45 Miltorwale, .62 New Cambria. 1.20 Niles.

.63 Norway. 1.4J Scandia, 63 Tescotl. .70 Wilson dam. .31 Wild weather batters crops A weekend of wild weather may have delivered a hammer blow to Saline county crops. A muddy Monday morning tour by County Agent Vern Lohmann uncovered this: 1.

Hail damage in wheat fields, running from 10 percent to 90 percent and above. "It was especially severe in the Gypsum Valley." Lohmann said, "but it's impossible to assess the damage because high water prevents you from getting to it. But. I'll tell you. it looks bad in the Gypsum Valley.

It smells like silage out there today." There also were reports of hail damage around Bavaria. Smolan and Brookville. "There's the problem of water on wheat fields, too." a said. "There's going to be silt and wheat is going down." 2. Newly-planted corn, in many cases, has washed out.

3. Downed hay crops have been washed away or ruined. "I don't know yet how many acres are involved." Lohmann said, "it could be 1000 to 3000 acres of heavy damage to wheat. And much of it had been looking good." Lohmann said roads would have to dry before more accurate estimates of damage could be made. "But I think Saline county farmers took it right on the chin, particularly in the Gypsum Valley." he said.
