Bennett asks flood relief
TOPEKA—President Ford has been asked to declare an 11-county region in southeastern Kansas a flood disaster area, Gov. Robert F. Bennard said yesterday. A county-by-county assessment of damage to public property in six of the counties would be required, he said the less probably would increase as additional reports become available.
He said officials of the state Emergency Preparedness Office and members of his own staff toured the flood-damaged area to collect data to support the
Such a designation would set in motion federal aid for local governmental units and make private citizens eligible for low interest, long-term loans.
Elizabeth II presents bell
PHILADELPHIA--England's Queen Elizabeth II said yesterday that the American Revolution taught her country a valuable lesson to respect the rights of others to govern their own ways. Because of that lesson, she said, the Fourth of July should be celebrated in Britain, as well as in America.
The Queen made the observation as she presented the United States with a Bicentennial gift from England, a bell cast at the same foundry that produced the bell.
The queen, a distant relative of George Washington and a direct descendant of King George III, made the presentation during the first stop on a six-day, nine-city tour of the United States. She will go to Washington today and later will go to Montreal to open the Olympic Games.
Car sales at 3-year high
DETROIT—Domestic business cars sold boomed last month to the highest monthly level in nearly three years. The four U.S. automakers said yesterday they sold an average of 31,800 cars each day in June. That was up 29 per cent from June of last year, and down 16 per cent from December 2013, when the industry sold 32,136 cars a day in the midst of a pre-oil embargo.
The June sales tempo was stronger than industry analysts had expected and balanced forecasts that 1976 would wind up as the third best sales year in Detroit.
For foreign automakers, however, the June sales figures were down 19 per cent from June 1975.
Afrikaans not mandatory
JOHANNESBURG-South Africa's white-minority government announced yesterday it had dropped the mandatory use of the Africanan language for instructing black students. The requirement led to rots in some black townships last month that left 176 persons dead and more than 1,000 inured.
M. C. Boetha, minister of African education, said black schools will be given three choices for the type of language to be used in classes. They are: English for regular courses and Africans as a language course; Africans as the standard course as a language course; both Africans and English as the medium of instruction.
Soviet's Souuz 21 launched
MOSCOW—Two Soviet cosmonauts rocketed off in a spacecraft yesterday for an expected link with an orbiting station launched two weeks ago. The Soyuz 21 spacecraft was the first manned launch since last July's joint U.S.-Soviet Apollo-Soyuz linkup.
Soyuz 21 headed for a series of joint experiments with the space laboratory Sputnik 5, orbited on June 22, the official Tass news agency said. Soviet commentators and Western space analysts saw the launch of the 27 manned Soviet space as a relatively routine continuation of Russia manned space experiments.
The two cosmonauts went into orbit from Soviet Central Asia, 1,400 miles southeast of Moscow, at 9:30 a.m. c.m., and soon raided back that all systems were down.

Ford's campaign head reported on way out
Rogers Morton will be asked to step aside as President Ford's campaign manager soon, possibly before the Republican convention. ABC News reported yesterday.
The move for the change is a result of displeasure among state and local party officials with Morton's leadership of Ford's primary campaign, ABC said.
The network, however, quoting sources close to the Republican National Committee, told the newspaper that they would like to stay in his post at least through the GOP convention and possibly through a special session.
BUT RELIABLE sources within the Ford political organization said Marton probably would be asked to leave within the next two months, according to ABC.
Meamwhile, Jimmy Carter got a near-solid endorsement from the nation's Democratic governors, including some old Republican nomination.
A new assistant to the dean of men, William O. Lona, began work yesterday as a special resource adviser for Chicano students.
New assistant aids Chicanos
Lona said he would assist Chicago students in program planning, orientation and adjusting to university life in general. Lona will also work with the Reading and Study Skills Program, the Office of Admissions and the Office of Financial Aid.
CHICANO STUDENTS have some unique cultural problems because their backgrounds don't attune them to a university setting, he said.
*Problems are magnified when students have to think in Spanish terms and try to translate.*
Lona will also be working with Movieto Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MECHA), a Chicanos into the University and, once here, to keep them from dropping out. The English translation of the group's name is Chicano Students' Movement of Aztlan. Aztan is the traditionally recognized island in the southwestern United States.
Language is a special problem for some Chicano students.
LONA WAS formerly with the Human Resource Corporation in Kansas City, Mo., where he planned and evaluated antipoverty programs, and helped to resolve human resources issues. The Resource Corporation was funded by the federal Office of Economic Opportunity.
Ernest Garcia held the position in the dean of men's office before Lona.
Carter promised to restore the governors to the counsels of the federal government and said he would meet Thursday with a second candidate running mate, Sen. Walter D. Pinnington.
the presumed Democratic presidential nominee then returned home to Plains, Ga.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said he talked with Carter about potential vice presidential candidates. But the reason a senator said he made no recommendations.
THE FIRST potential vice presidential candidate interviewed by Carter, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, said that Carter believed Reagan might be a more formidable Republican opponent than President Ford in the November election.
The resolution of support by the governors was read by Gov. Marvin Mandel of Maryland, who has been frequently at odds with Carter since the days when the former governor was involved in the work of the National Governor's Conference and often took the other side of key issues.
Ronald Reagan appealed last night for support from democrats, asserting that the Democratic party had been taken over by the conservatives, he believed they alone could plan people's lives.
REAGAN ATTACKED President Ford, his rival for the GOP presidential nomination, as well as Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter.
In a speech prepared for a national campaign telecast, the former California governor said that through inflight "the big spenders in Washington have brought us to the place where older Americans are—but surely—being pushed to the wall."
The 30-minute speech, carried on the ABC television network, cost the Reagan campaign approximately $80,000 to $50,000 for one hour of time, a Reagan aide in Los Angeles said.
It was the Republican candidate's third national campaign speech on television. The first, also 30 minutes, helped bring his then-deleted campaign treasury out of trouble last March and April. A second, five-minute speech followed.

Homecoming plans taking shape
A window painting contest, a pep rally and an all-University luncheon were included yesterday in plans for the 1976 Homecoming.
"I think a theme is helpful. Even if it's
a simple, basic aspect as to all the
decorations," Foster said.
A theme to bind these plans, made at the first meeting of the 1976 Homecoming Committee, will be selected next week when more representation from non-University committee members is possible. Bob Foster, committee chairman, said.
NEIL SEDAKA is tentatively scheduled
"We might be able to tie in the theme to one of his son titles." Foster said.

Bob Nelson, of the Continuing Education office, suggested that the theme tie in with the football team's win over Oklahoma last year because the Jayhawks are scheduled to play OU's for Homecoming this year.
There is no traditional method for choosing a Homecoming theme, Foster uses the "Coral Reef" theme.

committee decided. The contest offered a $20 prize to the best window painting in New York City.
The biggest problem with the contest was a lack of communication between stores, Foster said. Some stores didn't know the contest was going on, he said.
A meeting with representatives from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce should be held.
ANOTHER HOMECOMING event Foster said he hoped would become permanent is the All-University Homecoming Luncheon. The luncheon honors the recipients of the Fred Ellsworth Medalion for Distinguished Service to the University of Kansas.
The good student participation in the Homecoming Rally last year ensured its committee would be able to meet committee would attempt to place the rally time schedule in the permanent University calendar. The rally requires that 11:30 am and noon醒ates early on the day before Homecoming.
