Experts Say Special Child Seats Could Save Lives
In Los Angeles and San Francisco, Dr. Thomas Hunt of UCSF argues that about 1,200 US children die annually in car accidents, with over 80 percent preventable by $30 safety seats. He cites high head and spine injuries from sudden stops and urges universal use from the first ride home to age four, noting laws and compliance vary by state.

Air Force finds avoidable errors in Minuteman missiles
An Air Force probe at Whiteman AFB Missouri found avoidable programming and radar avoidance errors in two Minuteman missiles. Maj. Gen. Guy Hecker said the incidents posed no nuclear safety risk and steps have been taken to prevent recurrence across about 1000 missiles. NCOs involved were disciplined and inspections tightened with independent reviews after maintenance.

Power Plant Bill Clears Hurdle in Kansas Senate
The Kansas Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee sent the Electric Generation Siting Act rules to the chamber with a recommendation for approval. Utilities led by Kansas Power and Light Co. pushed to cut requirements for small plants under 100 megawatts, stripping statewide data needs and many historical demand studies from the licensing process. The changes aim to speed peaking and emergency plants while preserving basic filing needs for larger projects.

Legislative Highlights In Kansas House Actions
The House defeated a bill to license a private liquor club at Wichita Airport terminal by a close 56 to 55 vote and struck it from the debate calendar. An appropriations bill slicing 450000 from the Department of Transportation passed 66 to 58, with 18 jobs trimmed and further cuts projected to save about 4 million. Kansas Medical Society urged the Senate panel to back a minor birth control bill for teens without parental consent, while opponents warned of promoting promiscuity. A waste management official urged Kansas to stay out of disposal facilities, saying a tougher law would overreach. A Resources Committee push backed a siting bill applying Kansas Corporation Commission rules to power plant sitings, with utilities’ changes easing impact on small plants.

Committee Clears Way For Auto Plant In Wyandotte County
The Kansas House Assessment and Taxation Committee approved a bill to enable issuing about 500 million dollars in revenue bonds for a General Motors car plant in western Wyandotte County. The measure alters state law to permit bond issuance by the Port Authority and restricts property tax exemptions to the portion financed by industrial revenue bonds. The bills move to the full House and then to the Senate. In Detroit, AMC reported a 1979 level revenue drop and a record annual loss of 197.52 million dollars for 1980, with fourth quarter loss and sales down from the prior year. The session included debate on industrial revenue bond reforms, including county bond authority.
