HEATON, N.D. - Officers hunted a
63-year-old "fanatic" tax protester on
the fog-shrouded prairie yesterday af-
ter two U.S. marshals who tried to
arrest him were cut down in a roar of
automatic gunfire.
About50 federal and state officers
converged in east-central North Dakota
looking for Gordon Kahl and another
man who were believed to have escaped
from the Sunday evening shootout in
Medina that killed two marshals,
critically wounded a third, and injured
two police officers, authorities said.
FOUR PEOPLE have been arrested,
including Kahl's wife and his son, who
had been shot in the chin, chest and
stomach and was in critical condition.
Kahl had vowed he wouldn't be taken
alive, a federal official said. Officers
centered their search on a farm once
owned by Kahl near Heaton, about 50
miles northeast of Medina.
U.S. marshals had been trying to
arrest Kahl for violating federal
probation, and when officers learned he
nanhunt
was at a meeting in Medina on Sunday
they set up a roadblock to arrest him.
BUT THE suspects blasted their way
out of the police net and disappeared in-
to the sparsely populated countryside
as darkness fell.
Authorities believe they stole a
deputy's car and were able to monitor
police talk. Officers had to abandon
regular radio communications.
"It seemed like there was just a roar
of gunfire," said Medina Polic~e Chief
Darrell Graf, who was involved in the
arrest attempt.
KAHL HAD been found guilty in
Texas in June 1977 of failing to file
federal income tax returns and was
sentenced to five years of supervised
probation. He had asked for permission
to move back to North Dakota,
authorities in Texas said, and was sup-
posed to report to a federal probation
officer in Bismarck.
"He didn't believe in nothing, only
what he wanted to," said Sheriff
Raymond Weatherby of Crane County,
Texas.

discourage teenagers from seeking bir-
th control.
A federal court hearing was held
yesterday in Washington on a separate
challenge to the ruling.
THE REQUIREMENT - branded a
"squeal rule" by its foes - orders
clinics receiving federal funds under
the family planning law to tell parents
within 10 working days when their
daughters age 17 or younger get
prescriptions for birth control pills,
diaphragms or intrauterine devices.
The Reagan administration argues
parents have a right to know what their
children are doing, and claims the rule
is justified by Congress' declaration. It
wants to encourage "family par-
ticipation" in birth control decisions.
Claire Del Real, a Health and Human
Services spokesman in Washington,
said officials would have no comment
until they receive the New York judge's
order.
ASKED IF it would be obeyed, she
replied, "'We're very law-abiding
citizens."
At the Justice Department, there was
no immediate word on whether there
would be an appeal.
The New York State Health Depar-
tment, various health groups and state
Attorney General Robert Abrams
argued the regulation would reverse
progress made in reaching adolescents
who need family planning services and
in "stemming the tide of unwanted
adolescent pregnancies."
JUDGE WERKER agreed, saying
statistical and medical evidence shows
the requirement would deter youths
from obtaining family planning ser-
vices.
Even without birth control, he obser-
ved, "Adolescents will not abstain from
sexual activity."
In Washington, Rep. Henry Waxman
(D-Calif.), chairman of the health sub-
committee that oversees family plan-
ning programs, hailed the ruling.
"The proposed rule is bad law and
bad policy and will result only in more
teenage pregnancies and more abor-
tions," he said in a statement.
"Today's court decision will mean
that family planning programs will still
reach adolescents and can still safely
prevent pregnancies."

FDIC closes Tenn. bank;
4th largest failure in history
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-The United American Bank, run by former World's
Fair chairman Jake Butcher, was ordered closed yesterday due to "large
and unusual" loan losses in the fourth largest bank failure in U. S. history.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. officials said Butcher, a flamboyant,
two-time Democratic candidate for governor who once loaned $435,000 to
Bert Lance, had resigned as chairman of the bank he operated since 1975.
His resignation was required under FDIC regulations.
Butcher was ordered barred from the 27-story, blue-glass structure where
he reigned supreme over the largest bank in East Tennessee. His name was -
on a list of people not allowed into the bank.
FDIC spokeswoman Julie Amberson in Washington said details of the
problem loans were "not public information, at this point anyway."
Arens replaces ousted Sharon
JERUSALEM-Moshe Arens, Israel's hawkish ambassador to
Washington, accepted the post of defense minister yesterday in place of the
ousted Ariel Sharon, who quit the ministry saying, "I am not leaving a
beaten man."
The Knesset, Israel's Parliament, approved Sharon's removal on Prime;
Minister Menachem Begin's request, but Sharon will remain in the cabinet.:
Begin will hold the defense minister's authority until Arens is confirmed.
Sharon, who ran the Defense Ministry for 18 months, will serve as a
minister without portfolio. He resigned the defense post after the Cabinet
approved findings of an Israeli judicial commission that Sharon bore:
responsibility for allowing the Beirut massacre of Palestinians by Lebanese:
Christian militiamen Sept. 16-18.
The commission said Sharon should have stopped Christian militiamen:
from committing the atrocity inside the Israeli-ringed Sabra and Chatilla
camps. It also said Begin and other top officials bore partial responsibility.
In Washington, Arens told Israel radio's correspondent: "The portfolio
was offered by the prime minister ... I accepted it immediately.";
Republicans to pick new leader
LANSING - Michigan Republicans will gather in Detroit this weekend to:
decide whether the troubled GOP's fortunes should be entrusted to a veterani
party official or one of two newer faces.
Spencer Abraham of East Lansing, pollster for Republican Richard:
Headlee's unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign, is widely seen as the fron
trunner in the three-way contest, but it is far from clear he has locked it up.
Chasing him are Richard Chrysler, a successful Livingston County
businessman, and Ranny Riecker, long-time GOP national commit-
teewoman from Midland.
The contest is expected to be the lively highlight of an otherwise dull
Friday-Saturday convention. Some feel a measure of bitterness cannot be:
avoided, although others insist the party members will willingly pull
together behind whoever emerges as the winner.
Administration will protect
EPA employee who squealed
WASHINGTON - In a surprise turnabout, the administration reached a:
negotiated settlement yesterday with a whistleblower at the Environmental
Protection Agency, who said afterward he now has evidence that EPA:
misdeeds go all the way to the White House.
Hugh Kaufman, whose allegations have triggered a half-dozen
congressional investigations into EPA's $1.6 billion "superfund" program,'
called the settlement a victory both for him and for other agency employees
who will be testifying before Congress in coming weeks. . .
"This should send a signal to all EPA employees that they can get protec-
tion if they testify," Kaufman said.
After three hours of closed-door discussions, attorneys for both sides
emerged with an eight-point agreement in which -the EPA promised to
protect Kaufman's rights and Kaufman agreed to reimburse the agency for:
personal long distance calls made at work.
Asked about Kaufman's allegations of criminal conspiracy to deprive:
Kaufman of his rights, EPA spokesman Chris Rice said, "We have no
knowledge of any criminal wrongdoing. However, if Mr. Kaufman has:
evidence of a criminal act, it is his responsibility to turn that evidence over
to the Department of Justice."
Pentagon bargains with base
closings to save 1iitary budget
WASHINGTON - A key defense official says the Pentagon may haul out a
list of proposed base closings and challenge congressmen to bear some of the:
brunt "if the heat gets heavy" for deep cuts in the military budget.
The official, who discussed the matter only on condition that he not be:
identified, denied threatening Congress. But his message, in a recent inter-:
view, obviously was designed as food for political thought on Capitol Hill.
"We've got a list of bases we'd like to get rid of," he said. At the same
time, he made clear that the list could be left to gather dust if members of
the Senate and House don't delve too deeply into President Reagan's $238.6
billion military spending program for fiscal 1984.
If they do, he suggested, they should be willing to share the sacrifices -:
including the risk of voter dismay over the loss of local facilities.
The list includes some bases the Pentagon has been trying to close for
nearly a decade, the official said. But he did not name any specific locations.
"All we'd have to do would be to reach into the bottom drawer and pull out
the list," he said.

work that doesn't take that long also
adds to the price.
"I'm not suggesting corruption," said
the medical school's Stuart Baggaley,
who had to watch the Plant Department
put up his $3000 wall. "It just simply
isn't cost efficient."
OTHER MANAGERS say they are
content with the work done by the Plant
Department, but they say they don't
have the background to know if private
contractors- would be able to do the
work any cheaper since they've always
used the University.
Plant Department Director Russell
Reister defends the costs involved in
most of the work. He said his office of-
ten sends workers out in teams, even
when only one person is necessary, in

order to eliminate the need for more
trucks. If teams were split for jobs in
which only one person was needed,
"we'd have to have twice as many
trucks," Reister said.
Reister also said the .department's
charges were not excessive. He said
managers tend to base their ideas of
what constitutes a reasonable cost on
what it would cost them to do it them-
selves, rather than the cost of having a
professional contractor do it.
"They don't understand safety
regulations," Reister said. "Quite
honestly, they lack the technical
knowledge' to make good, sound
judgements."
Reister may be right. But the ad-
ministrator who paid several hundred
dollars to have a shed put up sees the
situation differently.
"You know," he said, "it was one of
those things they say you can put up in
your backyard in an afternoon."
