Kenya to give U.S. use of facilities

WASHINGTON (U P I) Kenya has agreed to let the United States use
port and military facilities in the East African nation, a jumping off point
for moving forces into the Persian Gulf, official sources said today.
The agreement was reached Wednesday by President Carter and
visiting Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, who held private talks for an
hour.
Moi did not favor establishing a U.S. base in his country but agreed to
provide the facilities for pre-positioned military equipment and to permit
increased use of port facilities at Mombassa on the Indian Ocean.
The African facilities would be part of a U.S. plan to move rapid deploy
ment forces quickly to the Persian Gulf or the Middle East in case of an
emergency.
Plane crashes killed 353 last year
WASHINGTON (U P I) - Chicago's American Airlines DC-10 tragedy
killed 273 persons last May to boost U.S. airline deaths in 1979 to 353, the
third highest total on record.
Preliminary accident statistics released by the National Transporta
tion Safety Board Wednesday showed airlines had 33 accidents in 1979, a
38 percent increase from the record low of 24 in 1978 and the first jump in
five years.
At the same time, general aviation ail non-airline flying registered
4,238 total accidents, a 6 percent decrease from 1978 and the lowest total
in three years.
Safety board Vice Chairman Elwood Driver said last years 353 deaths
on U.S. air carriers was third to the 655 deaths in 1977 ( 544 in the runway
collision of two jumbo jets in the Canary Islands) and 467 deaths in 1974.
There were 163deaths reported in 1978.
Government warns about junk food'
WASHINGTON (U P I) The Agriculture Department has prepared a
dietary advice book geared toward children ages 9 to 12, telling them why
their bodies need more than a constant diet of pizza, hamburgers and
french fries.
Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland Wednesday unveiled the 1979 edi
tion of the departments annual yearbook a brightly illustrated book
entitled, Whats to Eat? And Other Questions Kids Ask About Foods.
Officials said they hoped the book, a department project to honor the In
ternational Year of the Child, would be used in elementary schools.
Teddy Roosevelt's daughter dead at 96
WASHINGTON (U P I) Teddy Roosevelts ir
reverent daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
whose quips and barbs charmed and sometimes
outraged Washington for much of the 20th cen
tury, died Wednesday at the age of 96.
Mrs. Longworth, the reigning Grande Dame of
Washington, inspired the popular song Alice
Blue Gown when she made her debut in the
White House as a 16-year-old in 1902.
Ugh oh I did hate it. I dont think I ve ever
worn French blue since and they sang it and
sang it, she said.
Mrs. Longworth had been ill for a week with
bronchial pneumonia. Her granddaughter, Joan
na Sturm, 33, was at her bedside when she died.
A family spokesman said she refused to go to
the hospital, spending her last days at the man
sion on Massachusetts Avenue she dubbed it
detached malevolence where she had
thrown lavish parties and elegant teas that once
were the most prized invitation in the capital.
President Carter, in extending his sympathy,
said Mrs. Longworth seemed to personify the
freshness and irreverence of modern times. She
had style, she had grace and she had a sense of
humor that kept generations of political
newcomers to Washington wondering which was
worse to be skewered by her wit, or to be ig
nored by her.
Funeral services will be private. A family
spokesman said she was 96 years old and she
was not very strong, but until last week when she
got this bronchial pneumonia she was in
resonably good health.
Feminists oppose
draft registration

It started. Will my automobile in
surance pay the cost?
If your policy contains "towing and labor" coverage as part of the
physical damage coverage your policy will cover this cost. Expenses
covered would include the towing of the vehicle to a repair station and
labor costs necessitated by the disablement of the auto. Labor is
covered if it is performed at the place of disablement. An example of
labor performed might include service charges for jumping a battery or
changing a flat tire. However, the repair of the tire would not be
covered. With "towing and labor" coverage there is usually a maximum
liability paid for each occurence.
W A S H I N G T O N ( U P I ) -
Feminist groups are telling Con
gress draft registration is bad for
the country and the debate over in
cluding women threatens to obscure
that fact.
The question we should all be
asking is not whether women should
be registered, but whether anyone
should be registered. My answer is
an emphatic no, former Con
gresswoman Bella Abzug said
Wednesday.
As feminists, we reject the male
establishments war reflex as the
solution to international problems.
Registration is a prelude to the
draft, and the draft is a prelude to
war, she said.
But if registration is ordered,
women should be included, Mrs. Ab
zug and others told a House Budget
subcommittee.
The National Organization for
Women warned that registration
was a response which stimulates
an environment of preparation for
war, but would not impress the
Soviet Union.
Although it sounds strong to
Americans who want to show that
we are serious, in reality it proves
nothing to the U.S.S.R., which ap
preciates fully how little names on a
list actually mean, said NOW Vice
President Judy Goldsmith.
The effectiveness of existing
military forces could be greatly im
proved by eliminating discrimina
tion against women volunteers and
giving them more responsible roles,
she said.
She rejected arguments that
women should be exempt from
registration and the draft for their
own protection.
Omission from the registration
and draft ultimately robs women of
the right to first class citizenship
and paves the way to underpaying
women all the remaining days of
our lives, she said.
