Bennett visits flood areas
TOPEKA-Gov. Robert F. Bennett flown to southeast Kansas yesterday afternoon for a personal inspection of damage caused by floods resulting from last winter's flooding.
The governor said tentative, incomplete estimates so far indicated local governments had suffered about $5 million in damage to public property.
State and local officials have been surveying damage to public property in the flood area. But Leroy Towers, new aide to the governor, said wanted to be careful not to delay the investigation.
"That figure does not include the considerable damage to private residences and businesses," the governor said.
New pipeline test devised
WASHINGTON—Government officials are hoping a new technical device can test welding from inside the trans-Alaska oil pipeline and avoid the need to dig up it.
X-rays of the buried welded segments of pipe could delay completion of the pipeline, scheduled to begin pumping some 1.2 million barrels of oil daily in mid-
Late last year, the Alyekska Pipeline Service Co. reported that 3,956 out of the 31,423 welded completes in 1975 were questionable—either flawed or, more frequently, lacking the verifiable x-rays that the Interior Department needs to approve the pipeline.
Toneka concert canceled
TOPEKA-E- Efforts to save a controversial "Boogie in the Grass" rock concert here apparently have collapsed for lack of a place to have it.
Two sites for the concert, scheduled to be in Shawnee County Saturday, had fallen through when a third site was mentioned. Lafferty said. However there was no reason to doubt that it would happen.
The concert originally was scheduled for the Mid-America fairgrounds in Napa. The county signed a contract and later rereased on grounds that the county
Tuesday an owner of a 164-acre farm in southeast Siwanne County cancelled a contract with the promoters because they had not met contractual obligations for the lease.
Kelley defends FBI role
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa—FBI Director Clarence Kelley, testifying yesterday in the trial of two men accused of killing FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Two members of the American Indian Indian Robot Robertideau, 29. Portland, Ore., and Darelle Burrell, 34. Rogue River, Ore. — are charged with killing an American Indian.
— The bruiser, 34, Rogue River, Ore. are charged with killing agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams, both 28, on June 28, 1975, at Pine Ridge. The FBI claims the agents were ambushed when they went to the reservation near Ogala, S.D., to serve arrest warrants. Kelley said the FBI conducted a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the killing of the FBI agents.
Ruling on sex bias lifted
WASHINGTON - The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, acting on President Fords' instructions, yesterday suspended a ruling that father-son or mother-daughter school events violate laws prohibiting sex discrimination. The ruling, issued last week, was suspended pending research by lawyers to determine the legality.
The civil rights office ruled in response to an inquiry from the Scottsdale, Ariz. public schools, which sponsor father-son banquets and mother-daughter teas. The school officials wanted to know whether the events violated the laws prohibiting sex discrimination in public schools receiving federal financial aid.
Carter calm; Reagan races
Jimmy Carter announced plans to speak with more prospective runningmates, while Barry Goldwater suggested that President Ford tap John F. Kennedy for a third term.
Romald Reagan, meanwhile, set out to North Dakota in his quest for enough delegates to upset Ford's bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
In Washington yesterday the confident Jimmy Carter campaign told the Federal Election Commission it intends conduct studies before the November election on the results.
WASHINGTON-Labor Department investigators interrogated Teamsters President Frank E. Fitzsimmons about the union's Central States pension fund reports of questionable loan practices including possible fraud and embezzlement.
Fitzsimons was questioned under subpoena from a joint Labor-Justice department task force. The subpoena was issued after he refused a request to give a statement, and either he nor any of the Labor investigators would comment about the interrogation.
Labor investigators question Fitzsimmons
Five other trustees of the fund have been subpoenaed to appear in the next several days. They include William Presser of Cleveland, a vice president of the union who has been convicted in the past of illegally accepting payments to the union from employers, obstructing justice and illegally destroying record unions.
THE 85-YEAR-OLD chief of the nation's biggest union emerged stone-faced and silent after two hours of morning questioning. He was accompanied by three deputies, who refused to identify themselves. Department officials said they were his lawyers.
Fitzsimons and the trio returned after lunch for more questioning. In all, they spent 4½ hours before the investigators. Then they returned to return Thursday for more interrogation.
Asked by a reporter what had gone on during the session, one of the three replied: "I was shocked."
During the union's national convention last month in Las Vegas, Fitzsimmons defended the fund and complained of harassment. He said the fund "has been abused." But he argued for the past two decades and has been investigated by every Dick Tracy in the land."
AS FOR himself, Fitzsimmons declared: "I have been harassed personally as far as grand juries, indictments and what-not . . . I am in receipt now of a subpoena to appear in Washington, D.C., as a few others sitting on this rostrum are."
Sources said the investigators had uncovered questionable transactions by trustees of the $1.4 billion fund, which covers 400,000 of the union's 2 million members. The sources said evidence of possible fraud and embezzlement in two fund transactions had been turned over to the Justice Department.
The investigation, under the 1974 federal Pension Reform Act restricting the way pension assets may be handled, also has helped to reduce dollars in delinquent loans, the sources said.
TRUSTEES OF the fund include Fitzsimmons, seven other union officials and eight representatives of employers of Teamster members. Under the law, the department could seek their removal. The probe has been under way since the fall.
One source said the Internal Revenue Service had told the trustees that the 15,000 employers contributing $20 million a month to the fund could deduct the money from their federal income taxes until at least Aug. 31.
The fund's investments include an estimation of the investment in hotel and rental operations. Laev Levy
As Fitzsimmons was being interrogated, industry sources said the effects of the revocation of the tax-exempt status of the fund would be less severe than expected.
The trustees have told contributors this means back taxes will not be levied against either the employers or the beneficiaries of the fund, a source said. The source added that back taxes might not be levied against and itself, although that was less certain.
The arrangement was worked out during weekend negotiations among fund attorneys and officials of the IRS and the Treasury Department.
IF THE IRS decides to levy back taxes
on the fund, it might do so only in
the form of a tax credit.
The IRS had revoked the fund's tax-exempt status last month retroactive to Jan. 31, 1965, a move that could have resulted in millions of dollars in back taxes levied against the employers, the fund itself and its beneficiaries.

KU grads join alumni staff
The University of Kansas Alumni Association recruitment graduates to create postdocs.
"I'm delighted, obviously." Ridgway said yesterday. "Most of my time will be spent coordinating out-of-state alumni activities. That will be my basic responsibility."
Stephen J. Ridway, 805 Missouri, was named assistant director effective Aug. 1. He is now assistant to the manager of tours at The University of Kansas. Ridway graduated from KU in 1969.
HE SAID the Alumni Association wanted to provide more opportunities for out-of-state alumni to get together and keep informed about the association's activities.
Daniel L. Reeder, Morrisville, N.Y., will become managing editor of alumni publications Aug. 1. He received a B.S.J. in public relations at KU in 1971, an M.S. in journalism in 1974 and was assistant editor of alumni publications in 1971 and 1972. He
was director of public relations at Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City in 1972-73. He has been teaching journalism at the State University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at Morrisville since 1973.
B. J. Pette, assistant ucreator on the Alumni Association, said that although Reeder would produce the alumni magazine and thereby provide continuity important to the magazine's production. She said Reeder was chosen for his journalism skills, and Ridgway for his experience in travel programs and work with people.
Pattee said Evie Masterson Rapport, a 1970 KU journalism school graduate, would work full-time as assistant editor of alumni publications under Reeder. Rapport has been working part-time in that position for two years.
Pet sterilization program to start
According to local veterinarians, the certificates will cover one-half to one-third the total cost of the operation. The balance is to be paid by the pet's owner.
Lawrence residents who apply at the Human Society, 1805 E. 19th, will be issued certificates worth $15 toward the cost of their insurance. If they are to be done by Lawrence area representatives,
THE PROGRAM will continue until the end of the year or until 50 certificates have been received.
The Lawrence Humane Society will initiate a spaying and neutering subsidy program for cats and dogs beginning July 1st. Hess, Society president, said yesterday.

Costs and difficulties involved in operating a full-time clinic made an alternate plan necessary, she said. The plan should be coordinated with cooperative plan with local veterinarians.
THE BUILDING will use less than twenty five per cent of the energy consumed by most modern office buildings because it will minimize the internal systems of heating and cooling, he said.
"We're very concerned about the population problem," Hess said. "It has reached epidemic proportions and there are only two solutions to the problem: we have to educate people about breeding and actually neutering cats and dogs."
VETERINARIAN Gary Olson said, "It's a good program but people won't take advantage of it. They've been doing this in California for a long time but they haven't had much success. Let's just say I'm expressing cautious optimism."
Veterinarian Jerry Leroux said, "This is just not an effective way. There is no significant decrease in the animal health, so people don't take advantage of neutering."
Massive exterior walls and greatly reduced window areas are the keys to the building's low energy consumption, Glenn said.
Bradley said the program's major flaw was that the certificates were available to students.
Building designed to save energy
The exterior walls are built on the adobe principle, with a layer of bricks surrounding the wall. The mortar is sandy.
Glenm said design requirements for the building even covered the air use in the plaster and from the toilet fixtures will be passed through charcoal filters and recycled, he said.
"They put about 100 animals to sleep each month but they won't let anyone adopt one if they can't pay the $20 to have them snaved," he said.
"I could walk in and get one," he said. They have to recruit the certificates to the paperwork.
Gleim said that because the building was planned for open offices a "white sound" or background noise will be transmitted through windows, act as a mask to cancel out other sounds.
All mechanical systems in the building are computer-controlled. The computer will turn on machinery before the workday and continue until it is eventually near the workday's end, Glenn said.
Three area veterinarians said they would honor any neutering certificates but we cannot guarantee that you will be able to do so.
"if they want to do this it's fine, but I think that it is ridiculous," William Bradley, veterarian, said. "It won't do anything to control the animal population. I've never
Gleen said the building would be warmed primarily by heat radiating from human occupants and light bulbs and be cooled by conditioning augmenting the outside air.

All desks used in the office building will have electrical and telephone outlets built into them. Each desk is also part of an in-room power supply ground system and is individually lighted.
**HESA SID* she believed the program would benefit people who could not afford to help with her work.
BRADLEY WAS also critical of the Humane Society's policy of not allowing animals to be adopted unless they had been neutered.
Glenn said that five architectural firms had designed the three-story building. "It's a beautiful example," he said.
The veterinarian performing the surgery takes care of the remainder of the fee.
"We don't know if it will work until we try, 'Hess said. "Anything done to cure overpopulation is good. If it doesn't work then we'll try something else," she said.

THE FIRST two stories of the building are designed with movable office floors. The floors are constructd.l with carpeted walls. In each square squares can be lifted and moved by hand.
The building will be supplied with conventional air conditioning and heating systems, but they are designed only as backups to nature.
The $12 million all-electric building is the first building especially designed to meet the energy conservation deadlines set by General Services Administration, he said.

Gleem said that in the summer the windows would be shaded by a five-foot overland to keep the building cool. The windows should be heated with water, allowing it to heat the building.
