Treaty signed by Carter
Washington-President Carter signed the
historic and much-debated Panama Canal
treaty Wednesday night, hailing it as "A
symbol of mutual respect and coopera
tion." Carter joined Panama's ruling general,
Omar Torrijos, in signing the agreement
that at the end of this century could fin
ally give Panama control of the water way
carved through its midsection more than
63 yean ago.
,The signing ceremony climaxed what
may have been Washington's biggest diplo
matic extravaganza-a three-day affair of
talks and social activities attended by
leaders of numerous Western Hemi
sphere nations.
In the audience for the colorful cere-
associated press
datelines
mony were representatives of 25 other
nations, former President Gerald Ford,
former Secretaries of State Henry Kissing
er and William Rogers and Lady Bird John
son. ' .;
Although the treaty caps 13 years of
negotiations inspired by violence and the
threat of violence along the canal that
links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
celebrations over the pact may be prema
ture. The canal treaty has won much more
acclaim in Latin America than it has in
the U.S. Senate, which could nullify the
festivities by failing to ratify the treaty by
a required two-thirds vote. The vote is
expected to come next year.
Simonson defeated
. Madison, Wis.-Dane County Judge
Archie Simonson, whose remarks linking
sexual permissiveness with rape created
a furor in this liberal university commun
ity, was defeated in a recall election
Wednesday -by a woman attorney with
strong feminist backing,
Unofficial final returns, with all 137
of Dane County's wards reporting, showed
Moria Krueger with 27,244 votes com
pared with 18,435 for Simonson, whose
regular six-year term as judge would have
expired next April.
Assistant family court commissioner
Daniel Moeser ran third with 15,250
votes, followed by three other Madison
attorneys. William Bradford Smith with ,
8,446, Robert Burr with 5,190 and Worth
Piper with 3,342.
The judge, took an early lead in rural
areas but quickly fell to second place as
Madison ballots were counted. Simonson,
52, was forced into the recall election by a
35 ,000-signature petition drive after he
made comments from the bench linking
rape and women's clothing.
Krueger, who spent more than $15,000
in the campaign backed by area feminists,
led the field of six candidates. There will
be no runoff election. Simonson, who
voted" early in the day at the same school
where three youths allegedly raped a 16-year-o'd
girl last year, drew national
attention and the anger of local feminists
for his comments from the bench during
a hearing in the case.
The judge said during the campaign that
his comments were rhetorical and he does
not personally believe Madison's sexually
permissive climate or provocative women's
clothing makes rape a normal reaction in a
young man.
More about Lance
Washington-Two banks gave Bert
Lance unusual treatment when they loan
ed him money and covered for his over
drafts before he became UJS. budget dir
ector, the federal bank regulator said in a
The regulator, Comptroller of the Cur
rency John G. Heimann, came to that con-
elusion in a report on two secondary issues,
in the Lance controversy.
Heimann still is preparing reports on
Lance's personal use of bank aircraft and
the" original comptroller's investigation of
Lance's banking affairs.
In his latest report, Heimann criticized
the- Calhoun First National Bank for .its
practice of having a bank employee write
checks to cover $2 million in Lance's over
drafts from December 1975 to August
1976. Lance was chairman of the Calhoun
bank at the time.
The checks were drawn on the National
Bank of Georgia, which Lance headed. If
Lance became overdrawn in the Calhcun
bank, the money automatically would
come from his account at the other bank.
The comptroller said the service also
was available to some other customers,
including directors, and they were not
illegal.

out the window to attract attention and
tried to throw the gun through' a closed;
window.' '

inside the room, and Mrs. Radovich found
it and reloaded it.

room, followed by his wife, who then shot
