Afghan youngsters 'hauled away' Soviets arrest children, 8 to 10

c. 1980 N.Y. Times WASHINGTON - The State Department said Thursday that anti-Soviet demonstrations in Afghanistan had now spread to elementary schools and that there were reliable reports of children. 8 to 10 years old, being arrested in Kabul for protesting the Soviet military presence. Thomas Reston, a department spokesman. in a situation report on Afghanistan covering the last six days, said that new student demonstrations have broken out in Kabul. He said that with many older high school and college students already arrested, “younger children" were now involved. “The regime has reportedly arrested 8- to 10-year-old for their involvement in antiregime activities,” he said. Another official said that about 20 children were seen being "hauled away" by Afghan police from the Ghauhari and Newbakhti elementary schools. Travelers from Kabul, Reston said, "have reported that the student death toll may now have exceeded 50 after several weeks of rioting.” "Hundreds more have been arrested.” he said. “Some teachers have also been fired or drafted into the military because of their role in the resistance movement.” The department spokesman said that Soviet and Afghan

Power radius cut to 750 miles FCC votes to drop 'clear channel' class

c. 1980 N.Y. Times WASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to drop the special class of “clear channel” radio stations, making way for up to 125 new AM stations, many of which will be tagged for minority ownership. The commission action, culminating a proposal set in motion in 1978, is expected to touch off a wave of 2.000 or more applications for the new stations as well as possible last-ditch legal action to block it. , As a result of the controversial move, such powerful stations as Nashville’s WSM. broadcaster of Grand Ole Opry programs, and New York City’s WNBC, WABC. and WCBS will soon have their signal areas sharply reduced, especially at night. “We’re very disappointed, but we have not yet decided our

Originally, the bill would have allowed will provisions such as those affecting Sido only if a person or group could not be found to care for the pet. • Several committee members expressed concern Thursday that the bill was vague, and might not apply to pets such as fivSh and birds. So Sen. Marz Garcia, R-Menlo Park, amended it to apply only to Sido’s case, saying he would introduce more general legislation on the subject later. -Sido attended Tuesday’s hearing, but wasn't in the committee room Thursday. The measure now moves to the Senate floor. Avanzino has brought suit in state court challenging the will, w ith a hearing scheduled June 17.

military forces “continue to be hard-pressed by the widespread resistance.” “Major towns and large areas of the countryside are threatened by nationalist forces,” he said. “Only by maintaining significant forces on constant guard are they held at bay.

next step,” said Leonard Hensel, vice president and general manager of WSM Radio Stations in Nashville. Clear channel stations are radio r ttions that have exclusive use of their frequencies on the radio band, or have only one or two other stations so that they may broadcast unimpeded over large regions of the nation. Such stations, broadcasting at the maximum allowable signal output of 50 kilowatts, were created originally to serve not only their primary communities, but distant small towns that had no radio service of their own. In recent years the commission has decided that the growth in local stations, including FM radio, has reduced the need for such far-reaching service. In its decision Thursday, however, the commission voted to protect the signals of the 25 clear channel stations within a

during armed sweeps by government forces.” Reston said those Sovietbacked “sweeps” are largely only temporarily effective because once the government forces leave, “resistance units rearm, regroup and re-form.” In urban areas, resistance to the regime of President Babrak Karmal “continues to be particularly heavy,” Reston said. He singled out the western city

radius of 750 miles which will continue to give them much larger service areas than ordinary radio stations. “By protecting the 25 clear channel stations from interference across a diameter of 1,400 to 1,500 miles, most people who now listen to (familiar nighttime) broadcasts will continue to hear them,” said Charles D. Ferris, chairman of the commission. The commission has undertaken the reduction in scope of the clear channels stations as part of its program to provide increased minority ownership of broadcasting stations. In line with that policy, the commission said today it would give preference to applicant organizations that are at least 50 percent minority owned, as well as to applicants who plan noncommercial operations or who would provide the first full-

Study coal, solar state board urged

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Finding ways to increase the use of Indiana coal, to stimulate solar energy use and to encourage alcohol fuels should be the goals of the state’s new Energy Development Board, Lt. Gov. Robert D. Orr says. “Indiana can help the world energy crisis by helping itself achieve the energy security and independence that are critical to a healthy economy and a secure future,” Orr said in a Thursday speech to the initial meeting of the board. “I firmly believe that Indiana has available the resources needed to combat the energy ills that have befallen this great nation. What we must do, indeed what we have to do, is develop these resources,” Orr said.

of Herat where, he said, “there are reports that as many as four Soviet helicopters have been shot down in the fighting there.” But the Russians have not increased their forces significantly, despite the reported resistance. Reston said that there remain about 85,000 Soviet troops within Afghanistann with another 35,000 on the Soviet side.

time radio service in their communities. In the expectation that the selection of new station owners will be a large and complex undertaking, the commission also voted Thursday to ask Congress for money to increase its staff or approve new rules that could help cut the red tape involved in selecting a winner among competing applicants for new stations. Hensel of Nashville’s WSM, who has been the most ardent opponent of the idea of dropping clear channel stations, said Thursday: “We have not stopped our fight. We must talk to our lawyers and learn more details, but there are avenues open- we can ask the commission to econsider, file suit in the Federal Court of Appeals for the Dorico of Columbia, or try to get our friends in Congress to pass a law.”

One of the primary goals set by the law was to find ways to better use Indiana’s high sulfer coal. The board, chaired by attorney Robert J. Hepler of Goshen, includes representatives of energy companies, environmentalists, labor, farmers and colleges and universities. Orr, who heads the state Department of Commerce which is providing staff for the new board, said coal, alcohol fuels and solar energy can help lessen dependence on imported oil.
