Dense fog across eastern Kansas contributed to two fatal crashes and the cancellation of flights. An Osage County man, 66, died when his westbound pickup hit a semi on U.S. 56 near Overbrook. A Shawnee County man in his 70s was fatally struck while walking on a foggy county road east of Topeka. The weather disrupted travel as visibility dropped to under a quarter mile.

RS Extension Signed Into Law
President Carter signed three year extension of the federal revenue sharing program for local governments and two year funding for state governments. The measure provides 4.6 billion dollars annually to local governments through fiscal 1963 and, subject to appropriations, 2.3 billion dollars a year to states in fiscal 1982 and 1983. States will receive no funds in the current year. The act requires states receiving revenue sharing funds to forgo an equal amount from targeted federal aid programs.
