General Increases Power In Korea
South Korea's ruling council announced a standing committee of 19 military officers and 12 civilians to run day to day affairs under martial law. The move concentrates power with General Chun Doo-hwan and a broader subcommittee system patterned after the failed National Assembly. Civilian ministers remain, but military influence dominates the new structure amid ongoing national security measures.

KCC warns Kansas utility customers on high summer energy use
The Kansas Corporation Commission warned residents to conserve electricity this summer as bills may rise. Kansas Power and Light Co. noted a July 1980 bill of 42.43 for 750 kilowatt hours versus 35.14 in July 1979, a 20.7 percent increase. The agency cited interim rate increases, a new rate design, and hotter summers as factors. KCC chairman Richard Loux urged conservation to avoid bill surprises.
