passes and having their names run through a Secret Service computer list of 40,000 persons considered possible threats to the President.

Kojimoto was identified as a photographer and Miss Ransom as a reporter for the Revolutionary Worker - the newspaper of the Revolutionary Communist party. The newspaper, according to  party members, is printed in 17 editions in different American cities.

Spokesmen for both the State Department and Secret Service said that out of fear of muzzling a free press, they could not give weight to the political philosophy of the Revolutionary Communist party or its newspaper, the Revolutionary Worker. 

Liz Burbank, another reporter for the  Revolutionary Communist party's twice monthly publication said the party is a  "Maoist organization dedicated to over-throwing  of the ruling class of imperialists  in this country."

Miss Burbank read a statement that said the Revolutionary Communist party takes credit for the incident at the White House in which the two "denounced Teng (as) the traitor and dog that he is."

The statement continued, "They upheld Mao, the Chinese revolution and cultural revolution...There is more to
come."

Pat Lucy, a State Department press official, said Kojimoto and Miss Ransom  telephoned from New York City last week to apply for press credentials.

They were required to give their full name, date and place of birth, according to Miss Lucy.

The information was turned over to the Secret Service, which ran the names through its computer, according to Secret Service spokesman Ken Lynch.

"They were not in our files as the result of any threats or unusual interest," said Lynch. The Secret Service then cleared the two.

Miss Lucy said that on Saturday she personally handed press passes to Kojimoto and Miss Ransom for Teng's visit to the United States.

Both first were required to show press passes identifying them as members of a "bona fide news organization" and another form of personal identification. 

The two showed driver's licences and New York Police press passes, she said.

Miss Lucy said she was unaware of the political philosophy of the Revolutionary Communist party and knew
nothing about the Revolutionary Worker newspaper.

Miss Ransom, 26, of New York, and Kojimoto, 28, of New York, were among the 950 persons to receive special press
credentials for the Teng visit. Also eligible to cover the visit are the 1500 regularly accredited members of the White House press corps.

White House correspondents undergo a more vigorous background check. They are fingerprinted and their names given to the FBI.

The ease with which the two received clearance to cover the Teng visit is in sharp contrast to problems that reporters for the Revolutionary Worker have had elsewhere in obtaining press credentials.

Miss Burbank said that in Seattle it took four months to get police press credentials. She said they were only forthcoming after a suit was threatened.

Monday's incident occurred as Carter was greeting Teng.

"You are trying to make this into a garden party," reporters heard Kojimoto yell. "This is not a garden party You cannot stop a revolution."

Miss Ransom screamed "murderer, and both chanted, "Long live the revolution."

The pair was arrested and dragged of by Secret Service officers.

Both were charged with disorderly conduct. Under District of Columbia court rules, they could each have posted and forfeited $10 to have avoided further court action. Each, however, asked for a trial and was ordered held on $100 bond.

The White House incident comes at a time when the Secret Service has complained that it is unable to gain intelligence informatiion [[information]] needed to adequately protect the President.

H. Stuart Knight, director of the agency charged with protecting the President and visiting heads of state has said that the 1974 Federal Privacy Act has limited the information that other Federal agencies can disclose from their files about persons.

dy," he continued. In that event, I am confident that Congress will pass my bill to ensure that common sense prevails."
Gore added that he believes Judge McFadden "has misread the law and misconstrued congressional intent in his ruling." The two-term Democrat said the judge's ruling would result in "astronomical moving and construction costs and disruption of the lives of TVA workers and their families."
"Simply put, TVA has better things to do with its time. This bill has been introduced to make certain that common sense prevails," Gore concluded.

Alexander said Hawkins, who served as statewide co-chairman for Alexander's general election campaign after serving as statewide coordinator for the Democratic primary campaign of Metro Nashville Mayor Richard Fulton, is an eight-year veteran of the Metro Council here and a former member of the Davidson County Democratic Executive Committee.

funds for Expo before beginning property acquisition. The city has put up $11.6 million to be used specifically for property acquisition, as matching funds for the Federal grants.
After talking with HUD officials about the procedural errors which prompted the delay in release of the HUD portion of the Federal funding, Mayor Tyree said he is confident funds will be released when the city complies with the regulations.
"We need to have every 'i' dotted and every 't' crossed and not get two years into the project and have some technicality like this come back to haunt us," Mayor Tyree said.
Plans call for the acquisition of 151 parcels of land in the Lower Second Creek Valley. KCDC will condemn the property that it is not able to purchase through negotiations.
To maintain the Expo timetable, site preparation should begin this summer, Expo officials have said.

Airport Authority Finance Unit OK's $67,300 for Capital Improvements
A $67,300 capital improvements budget for the airports would cover improvements to a ramp at the old terminal building, construction of a temporary maintenance facility and some runway improvements in the coming fiscal year, Jim Sartin, airports executive director said.
The finance committee of the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority yesterday endorsed the budget and will forward it to the full authority Feb. 14 at 5 p.m.
The authority will only have to pay part of the costs on improvements to the ramp, runway and construction of the maintenance building because of assistance from Federal and state grants, Mr. Sartin said.
According to a the proposed budget, the authority will pay about $28,000 of the total $75,000 estimated cost for the projects.
Other items included in the proposed budget are two pickup trucks for maintenance crews, a paint striper and a compact staff car.
Mr. Sartin had estimated the items would cost about $43,000 but the cost estimates were revised when Dewey W. Tucker, finance committee chairman, said they were too high.
"I think you've got fat in all these items," Mr. Tucker said.
The equipment costs were revised to $37,500.
The authority also set aside $1700 as its contribution to a $173,000 repaving of the runway at Downtown Island Airport. The Federal Government will pay 80 percent of the cost. The state will provide a grant for the remaining 10 percent.
Mr. Sartin said larger capital costs, such as parking lot expansion and a permanent maintenance facility, are being postponed until after the authority receives total independent control for the airports and new contracts with air carriers are worked out.
