Sunday. Feb. 6, 1983 Mideast U.S., Soviets blamed for world's tensions A1 6 Star-Tribune. Casper, Wyo. Truckers Continued from A 1 study "the economic impact, if any, of increased taxes on independent truckers." DOLE ADDED, though, Congress would not be "intimidated" by the violent strike.

He also said he would introduce legislation that would give the president the power to seek federal court orders restraining anyone involved in a strike from "encouraging, inciting or committing acts of violence" which interfere with commerce." Dole accused Parkhurst of being "a troublemaker" and questioned whether he really was the leader of any large number of independent truckers. "I know he has a magazine," he said. "He doesn't have a truck." There was no let up in the shattered windows blocks away. A i residential apartment building across the street was also set on fire. POLICE ALSO said the car was an American model, but they were unable to identify the make from the few pieces they could find.

The PLO office, a frequent target of bombings during the Israeli invasion last year, has been handling most Palestinian matters since Yasser Arafat and his guerrillas evacuated Beirut last summer. The Libyan Embassy was temporarily housed in the same office as the Libyan News Agency because the embassy on the waterfront was destroyed in the Israeli shelling last summer. Libyan interests have been a frequent target of right-wing terrorists because of Col. Moammar Khadafy's support of Palestinian guerrillas. UNITED NATIONS (NYT) In a shift reflecting a move from radical to more moderate leadership, the nations grouped as nonaligned are considering a declaration that implicitly blames the Soviet Union as well as the United States for most of the world's tensions.

The paper, which was prepared for a meeting of nonaligned nations in New Delhi in March, is regarded as a triumph for such countries as Egypt, Yugoslavia and India. It appears to represent a successful effort by them to recapture the leadership of the movement from radicals like Cuba. At the last gathering of its leaders, held in 1979 at Havana, the movement repeatedly condemned the United States by name in a similar summary of the state of the world. An African delegate close to the drafting attributed the more evenhanded treatment of the superpowers to the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and the takeover of Cambodia by Vietnam, a Soviet ally. The latest draft, 35 pages long, is restrained on both issues.

It calls only for the withdrawal of foreign forces from both countries. When the leaders meet in New Delhi March 7-11, the pro-Soviet nations are expected to make a determined effort to toughen the text against the United States. Even the current docu-ment, although more evenhanded, does make more unfavorable, if indirect, references to the United States than to the Soviet Union. IN THE ONE instance in which the United States is mentioned by name, it is urged to adopt a "constructive position" and negotiate with Nicaragua, a nation described as the victim of attempts to "harass and destabilize" the country. The paper was drafted by India, which is replacing Cuba as the movement's chairman for the next three years.

Reagan names banker to MX advisory group Rep. Walt Urbigkit of Cheyenne. The bills are sponsored by House Speaker Russ Donley and Senate President Eddie Moore and have been touted by legislative Republican leaders as a way to get water and coal developed and improve Wyoming's economy. They have been blasted by Democratic leaders as short-sighted and as an attempt to derail Herschler's water development program. Herschler personally testified against the bills at a Rules Committee hearing Thursday.

in screening prospective employees who might face hazardous situations with which they would be unable to cope. "The test does measure physiological reactions," he said. Committee chairman Doug Chamberlain, R-Goshen, said he opposed the bill because "it's an absurdity to eliminate this practice and limit employers." But the bill passed the House Judiciary Committee on a vote of 7-to-3 and will now be considered on the floor of the House. 24' and 40 van trailers for tale or rant. Oean, dry storage.

In Nebraska, officials said shots fired Friday night at a Union Pacific Railroad train carrying loaded truck trailers might have been strike-related. Lt. Marv Strong of the state patrol troop headquarters in North Platte said "there's no direct tie" to the truckers strike "it's only an assumption at this point." By 4 p.m. EST Saturday, a survey by United Press International showed at least 506 shootings reported across the nation since the strike was called Monday. said, adding that one way to build both ratings and reputation is to improve local news coverage.

The station aims to become a statewide news network, and that's why Sieler hired Frandin. Frandin, 34, spent 4V4 years building a similar network in North Dakota, after which he went to KMGH in Denver for three years, including a year as news director. But the cutthroat market made him want to leave, he said. He took a year off to write a novel, which didn't sell, and he then accepted the job in Casper. Frandin has been at KCWY about eight weeks and he has some surprising views for a man who once worked in the glitzy Denver television world.

Good news coverage will help build ratings, he said, but the ratings battle can't be allowed to take top priority. "When you start thinking about ratings first and news second, you've lost the ballgame," he said. "You are no longer doing journalism." He believes the television reporter's job is to tell viewers how events wUl affect their lives. "You've got to tell people why the story is important to them," he said. "If you can't find someone to interview who is affected by the story it's not an important story." And Frandin said he isn't going to lose sleep over being beat by another news agency on a story.

Witnesses said many of those injured were civilians who had been walking on the crowded streets when the bomb exploded at 2 p.m. (5 a.m. MST). The buildings are near the busy Hamra commercial district and just four blocks from the Commodore Hotel, residence of many foreign reporters.

A U.N. officer at the scene said the bomb, hidden in an American-made car parked between two buildings, caused heavy damage to the PLO office. Libya's temporary embassy and news agency offices, located in the adjacent building, also were heavily damaged.

245-STSS I a 1 KCWY Continued from A 1 News. Three months later, the 30-minute early evening news was reinstated, but in a p.m. slot. Such changes are typical of a new television station, Sieler said. "Our first priority was building up the stations," he said.

"We had to have the homes for the news to reach." Now, with the Rocks Springs and Lander stations on line, the company will concentrate on the news, Sieler said. Sieler acknowledged that the station has suffered from its share of growing pains, but said that too is common among new stations. He would not describe those problems, however, "I'd never tell you," he said. "There have been many." But KCWY now is on the rise, he said, and recent ratings back up his statement. According to Arbitron, a California-based ratings company, KCWY's ratings have risen in every time slot except the early morning.

Some 12 percent of the viewing public was watching KCWY between 10 and 10:30 p.m. when the late local news aired in November 1982, compared to a 6 percent share a year before, according to Arbitron. KTWO is still way ahead, but its ratings slipped substantially in the same year. Arbitron shows that KTWO captured 56 percent of the audience during the 10 to 10:30 p.m. time period in November 1981, but dropped to 46 percent a year later.

Reagan created the commission last year when his proposal to base the MX missile in a "dense pack" scheme became embroiled in controversy on Capitol Hill and Congress refused to provide funds. Dense pack is designed to protect U.S. retaliatory capability. It calls for basing 100 MX missiles in closely spaced silos in Wyoming on the theory that radiation, blast, fireball and debris from the first exploding Soviet warhead would destroy later-arriving Russian warheads or divert them from course, leaving MX intact. Critics charge the plan won't work.

to S4. WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan Saturday named California banker William J. Perry to the bipartisan Commission on Strategic Forces, an advisory group attempting to come up with basing plan for the MX missile. Perry was special counselor to the commission, headed by Brent Scowcroft, President Ford's national security adviser. Other members include former Secretary of State Alexander Haig and former CIA Director Richard Helms.

Harold Brown, defense secretary in the Carter administration, was initially designated as a member. But Brown, a critic of Reagan's MX basing proposals, bowed out, citing conflict-of-interest regulations. A White House spokesman said Perry was not Brown's replacement because there was "no set number" of members for the commission. He said Brown is serving as a special counselor to SUNDAY MONDAY SPECIAL. Prime Rib with salad bar 95 Located at the airport Sun.
