Grants aid youth programs
TOPEKA-Gov. Robert F. Bennett announced yesterday that Kansas has received federal grants totaling $1.14 million for summer youth programs aimed at helping young people gain skills and develop interests.
The governor said the program would provide young people, 14 to 21, with part-time summer jobs with federal, state and local government agencies, or with other opportunities.
These enrolled in the program will work 30 hours a week for up to eight weeks. "This work experience program is designed to enable young Kansans to return to school and complete their education," the governor said. "It will also give them important work experience and help prepare them for full-time work."
Inmates release captives
LANSING—Two American Indians, apparently angered over restrictions on a weekend cultural event, seized six hostages at knifepoint yesterday.
The hostages were freed unarmed 90 minutes later when they were able to separate themselves from the two inmates when negotiations began with Prison Security.
The two inmates were placed in solitary confinement after being seized by guards, Maynard said.
State Corrections Secretary Robert R. Raines said the inmates were apparently upset over restrictions on a weekend powwow—one of a series of cultural events inmates are allowed to stage at the prison. He said the inmates asked to have 25 guests, but were allowed only 15.
Kissinger tours Zambia
LUSAKA, Zamia—Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger took his African tour to Zambia yesterday after hearing from Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere that "the war has started" for black-majority rule in Rhodesia and "can't be avoided." Kissinger told a news conference before leaving Tanzania that he had assured Nyerere "of U.S. commitment to pursue an active policy in southern Africa towards the objective of achieving majority rule." He said he would elaborate today at a luncheon here on the third leg of the seven-nation tour he began in Nairobi during the weekend.
Vietnams to be reunited
BANGKOK. Thailand-National Assembly members who were elected in Vietnam on Sunday will meet within 60 days to adopt a new constitution and ratify the reunionification of the North and South, according to Vietnamese officials.
The South fell to the Communists a year ago in a military collapse.
i.e. assembly is expected to be a powerless, rubber-stamp legislature like those in other Communist countries, with real power being retained by a small Com-
munist state.
No date for the reunification of the country has been set.
Soviet minister dies
MOSCOW-Defense Minister Andriel A. Grecchi, reputed to have first opposed and then organized the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, died in Paris.
In 1838, as commander of Soviet forces in East Germany, he was believed to have personally engineered the suppression of the revolt of East Germans.
The death of the 72-year-old marshal, apparently due to a heart attack, left vacancies in both the Soviet military and political establishment. No successors
Authors under pressure Russian translator says
Writers of Soviet literature subject themselves to strict self-sensorship so that their stories can be published, according to the laws of Russian literature in and translator of Soviet literature.
"We don't and cannot really know Soviet literature because of censorship," she said.
Markstein, a native of Vienna, spoke to about 40 people in the Council Room of the Kansas Union last night on "Censorship and Self-Censorship in Soviet Literature." The lecture was sponsored by the Russian and European Center at the University of Kansas.
literature because of censorship," she said.
SOME STORIES BY Soviet authors aren't even published, she said, and others are not subjected to the "internal editor" to make them.
She said the internal editor was the writer editing his own stories so they could be published.
Not only does the internal editor censor stories being written now, she said, but he also has to deal with the fact that
she said a book by Veswolod Ivanov, "The Letter C," as in condescension, was changed after the revolution. In the original version, Markstein said, the main character was worried about helping his daughter, who was a prostitute. This was changed in the second version as the man became worried about being a good proletarian.
SHE SAID THE writers had to resort to shameless maneuvering to get their stories on the road.
"The writers are destroying themselves for the sake of ideas that they do not believe
"Criticism of Soviet realism is nonexistent," she said. "There is a big gap between them."
Now there is an internally recognized truce between the Soviet writers and censors, Markstein said. The authors can write their own books, but the censors will keep their hands off, she said.
MARKSTEK RECEIVED a doctorate in philosophy in 1954 from the University of Vienna. She majored in Slavic studies and East European history.
She has published several articles on Russian literature, contemporary Russian social thought and unofficial Russian literature.
She and her family lived in Russia from 1940 to 1946. They had fled the fascist rule of Austria but returned after World War II. She also spent a year and a half studying at the University of Moscow after her family's return to Austria.

"We want to be very careful about it," he said.
"If it needs to be expanded for other people in the city, then we need to find out," he said.
HE SAID ONE reason the city was interested in the study was to make sure that creating a city-wide bus system would be economically possible.
