Dram shop bill urged to hold taverns liable for drunks
Topeka attorney general Robert T. Stephan asked Kansas legislators to craft a dram shop law making tavern owners, clubs and stores financially responsible for injuries or damages caused by intoxicated customers. He argued the measure would deter over-service and aid victims, while noting prior attempts failed but public concern over drunk driving has grown. Stephan also urged tougher tests and license-tampering measures to curb driving under the influence.

Shultz to press Soviets on treaty breaches at talks
Secretary of State George P. Shultz plans to challenge Soviet radar installations and other defenses at next week's arms talks in Washington. He will argue these actions may violate the 1972 ABM Treaty, including a Krasnoyarsk radar in central Siberia, with broader concerns about impermissible missile defense measures. Critics say the Krasnoyarsk setup conflicts with treaty limits, while Soviet claims deem it legitimate. Former officials have also warned the installation tests treaty limits.
