Colorado tightens agencies
DENVER-California Gov. Richard Lamm yesterday signed the nation's first law designed to end government bureaucracies unless they can prove they're
The citizens' lobby, Colorado Common Cause, proposed the law six months ago to control a system of regulatory agencies and programs that Common Cause felt needed.
The new law gives an agency or program a life of six years. Directors or supervisors must justify the agency's or program's continuance to the legislature.
If the legislators are satisfied, the program or agency will continue for another six years. If witnesses cannot justify themselves, they will be given a year to complete their work.
Beraman to leave Sweden
STOCKHOLM-Film director Ingmar Bergman announced yesterday he could no longer live in Sweden and would leave the country to continue his work.
Bergman, who almost single-handedly put Sweden on the map as a major movie center, said he'd been harassed and humiliated by the Socialist Swedish tax bureaucracy. He said they tried to blackmail him to save face in a highly publicized tax case.
He announced his decision to leave Sweden in a bitter open letter published by the newspaper Expressen. He had been a convinced Social Democrat, Bergman said, and had believed Socialist Sweden was the best country in the world. The tax case changed his mind.
"Anybody in this country, any time and in any way, can be attacked and humiliated by a special kind of bureaucracy that grows like a galloping cancer,"
CIA deputy director quits
WASHINGTON—Lt. Gen. Vernon Loon, the Central Intelligence Agency's investigator, is outgoing the White House announced yesterday in investigations, is quitting, the White House announced yesterday.
Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Walters was quitting because he believed himself overdue to leave the Army. The deputy director also recognized that George Bush, the recently confirmed CIA director, would want to pick his own top assistant. Nessen said.
Walters, 59, was appointed deputy director by President Nixon in 1972 and will stay on as deputy director until E. Henry Knope, a civilian nominated to replace Richard Rutledge.
MU senate asks for study
COLUMBIA, Mo.—The senate of the Missouri Student Association has asked the University of Missouri Board of Councilors to set up a committee to investigate the university's policies on race and gender.
The release of the university's state relation plan has dangerously injured the position of the university in the eyes of the governor and the General Assembly,
The resolution said the plan called for the university to use its resources "to involve itself improperly in the political process of the state."
Gov. Christopher S. Bond said last week that he had told MU President C. Brice Ratchford that it was improper for the university to promote a tax increase or to support legislative candidates on the basis of whether they would support a tax increase.
Some people solve the problem of rising spring temperatures by wading and swimming in the Kansas River, but they are inagers that aren't easily seen on the surface.
"The greatest hazards are the dangers of the river itself," Jerry Stoltenberg, chief of the water quality planning and surveillance units in the state's health and environment, said yesterday.
THE DANGERS, such as snags and strong currents, pose a threat than the tides. They occur in the water.
Obstacles, currents make Kansas River dangerous
"That water is very little more dangerous than that in one of the big lakes where recreational swimming is allowed," Stoltenberg said. "The only real difference is that the river water is more highly mineralized and has more silt irritant."
"We haven't had a case in many, many years—maybe decades—of these diseases. There hasn't been a connection between a virus and the disease of this type since the 50s," he said.
ANOTHER WATER-BORNE hazard is industrial discharge.
Stoltenberg said that he thought the industrial discharge from Topeka and Lawrence wasn't particularly harmful to aquatic life, because the materials that could be toxic to aquatic life.
The division checks the Kansas River every month for bacteria that indicate the presence of three major water-borne agents, *Cryptosporidium*, *Yellowi* and *Shigella* (a type of dysentery).
KUAC chooses new vell leaders
The major danger remains in the obstacles and unexpected currents.
Vell leaders for the 1976-77 year have been the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC).

They are Dave Arbuckle, Hutchinson freshman; Brent Bishop, Longview, Wash.; freshman; George Bruce, Wichita junior; Gustafsson, Davidson; Gaston, Topke senior; Trip Haismen; Leaward sophomore; Tom Laney, Topeka freshman; Randy O'Boyle, Topeka freshman; Reeves Wiedeman, Kansas City, Mo.; Kim Wrench, Lawrence sophomore.
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas legislature heads its into final day of this year's session today with important death penalty, statewide voting and other issues. an appropriation legislation still to decide.
HE OUTLINED these options for the Senate;
Senate President Ross Doyen, who said yesterday he considered reenactment of a death penalty a dead issue, changed later in his speech that the House should enact the hull Friday.
The Senate recessed late yesterday leaving undecided consideration of concurrence in House amendments to the death sentence. Wednesday and sent to the lower chamber.
—Move to nonconcure and have a conference committee appointed to make one last effort at effecting some compromise between both houses on the last day of the session.
- Concur in the house amendments and accept a bill outlining eight types of murders for which the penalty would be death by lethal gas in Kansas.
The bill, passed by the Senate for the second time this session, would restore capital punishment in Kansas for all willful, malicious and premeditated murders. The house changed that bill to list eight specific types of murder.
—Do nothing and let it die.
BENNETT SAID of the two versions, he preferred the House plan.
House Republicans caucused late yesterday to hear an explanation of a pay bill that was altered by the House Ways and Values committee after it passed the Senate by one vote.
Gov. Robert F. Bennett told a news conference yesterday he was resigned to getting no death penalty bill this session over differences between the two houses.
Some Republican members voiced concern in the caucus over an amendment
offered in the Way and Means Committee by the Democratic floor leader, Rep. John Koehler.
Carlin's proposal was defeated in committee along party lines.
He suggested that state employees be granted a flat $38 per month pay increase.
SOME OF THE other changes passed by the Ways and Meaning Council would be:
—Hold the salary of the chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court to $35,000 a year while increasing the associate justices to $34,000. The Senate approved a salary of $38,500 for the chief justice and $37,000 for the associate justice.
-Give the chief justice of the new court of appeals a salary of $34,000 and the other judges on this court $33,000. The Senate had approved $33,000 and $35,500.
- Give associate district court judges a salary of $2,000 per year with provision that in no case shall such a judge receive less than 165 per cent of the salary he was receiving as a local judge immediately or to becoming an associate district judge.
—Give district court judges a base salary of $30,500 with supplemental pay of $1,500 in the largest four counties and $500 a month in three other counties.
The Senate whisked through a $37 million supplemental appropriation bill in less than 20 days.
Set a minimum of $13,500 for the election commissioners in the largest four county
OF THE TOTAL, some $2 million is for funding the state aid to local education bill which Bennett allowed to become law without his signature earlier this week.
The omnibus appropriations measure passed handily in the Senate after that body passed the budget. The Senate Democratic Leader Jack Steinberg to curb state spending next fiscal year.
Steineger said the legislature had authorized spending $4.75 million above what the state will take in next fiscal year in revenues. He proposed to reduce that deficit with an across-the-board reduction 10 per cent in all state agency budgets, encouraging and pension payments, building projects and state aid to local units of government.
In other action, the House completed a bill to authorize the Kansas Board of Regents to purchase Fairmount Towers, a privately owned development in the Wichita State University campus.
Steiniger said his proposal would have trimmed the overspending by about $30 million.
Harrall said drownings in the Kansas River near Lawrence had averaged between two and three a year for the past five years.
L. Vernon Harrell, of the Lawrence Police Department, said that they veer in certain areas at night.
"RIGHT BELOW the dam (on Massachusetts Street) is a very hazardous place. That's where most of the get drownings occur," he said. "People get too close to the dam and the undercurrent pulls them under."
Harrell said he knew of no ordinance that made it illegal to swim in the river.
Fabrics inspire program images
"Yet, Wee, Forever Wee," images inspired by fibers and fabrics, will be performed at 2 p.m. Sunday at the KU Museum of Art.
The program will feature folk dancers, musicians and readers in performances related to textiles. Robert Frost, Paul Simon, Edgar Lee Masters and Walt Whitman are a few of the people whose works will be performed.
The program is the second weekend performance of textile-related music, dance and writing. The first, "Spinning a Yarn," was concerned with narratives related to fibers and fabrics. It was performed April 11.
Dolo Brooking, curator of education at the Museum of Art, said last week that the program had been organized by students in a class on museum education problems.
Brooking said "Spinning a Yarn" had had an excellent turnout and she was expecting another large turnout for the "Yet Weave, Forever Weave" performance.
2 robbery suspects still sought by police
Police are still searching for two unidentified men who escaped with $120 Wednesday night, after robbing Yeakel's Liquor Store, 605 Vermont.

was working alone at the store when the
robbery occurred at 10 p.m. He told police that two white men about 20 years old entered the store and demanded all money from the cash register. One of the men had a pistol and he ordered Labvich to lie on the floor until the two had made their escape.

T the right way to pour beer never changes Since the down of organized brewing back in 1803
When it comes to pouring beer, the batter is right from the beginning. When it comes to aging, the Owl is Old. Oil and ingenuity just can’t be improved upon. Some things never are.
Although blatantly defiant of sacred sectage tradition, the original method has the memorable effect of trapping the head and the drink itself, trapping the carbonation below. The beer doesn't float. The method
A. D. brewmasters have urged discriminating drinkers to pour straight into the head, and not into a tilted receptacle.
