Tornado rips Jetmore
JETMORE - a tornado ripped through this southwest Kansas community last night, destroying a lumberyard and leaving debris spread over a wide area, near
Washington.
The twister struck the lumberyard on Jetmor's main street about 10:10 p.m. according to a dispatcher for the Hodgeman County sheriff's department.
About an hour before the tornado hit Jitmore, high winds caused minor damage to trees and roofs at Kesetm and Plains, about 50 miles southwest of Dodge City. In the day, a tornado touched down briefly on the eastern outskirts of Mankato, destroying an abandoned small plant and causing a half-hour power interruption.
Gas tax increase passed
TOPEKA- Legislation increasing the state's gasoline tax by one cent a gallon was signed in law yesterday by Gov. Robert F. Bennett. However, Bennett said
Brennett blamed the Kansas trucking industry for what he called pressure and obstruction activity in forcing the gasoline tax hike. The increase is part of an overall legislative package to raise $29.45 million in additional revenue by increasing motor vehicle registration fees and state gasoline and diesel fuel taxes.
Sakharov, militia scuffle
MOSCORO—Nobel Peace Prize winner André Sakharov and his wife argued and scuffed with the Soviet military yesterday at the trial of a dissident in the Siberian city of Vladivostok.
The account of the courtroom incident didn't say whether formal charges were being filed against the couple.
It said only that they were taken to a nearby police station and released after siming statements about the incident
In response to an admonition by officers on duty to keep quiet, Sakharov slapped a militan in the face and then struck a militia mullion, according to the news
Tass said Mrs. Sakharov then joined the fight.
Wage proposal criticized
TOPEKA-Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE) criticized yesterday a proposal under consideration by the Kansas legislature to grant five per cent merit pay increases next fiscal year to state employees now earning more than $1,000 a month.
Under the bill, state employees making less than $1,000 would get across-the-board five per cent pay increases effective July 1, but those making more than that would only get a modest increase.
KAPE said that one of its main concerns was that supervisors would be able to pick and choose the employees they felt should receive the increase.
Harrises cited for kidnaping
BERKELEY, Calif.—William and Emily Harris, the former underground companions of Patricia Hearst, were charged yesterday with kidnaping by authorities in Alameda County, where Hearst was abducted by the Symbionse Liberation Army on Feb. 4, 1974.
Heart had been scheduled to appear in Los Angeles today for arrangement with the Harries on state charges in connection with another incident, but her plea was denied.
She was listed in fair condition yesterday after emergency surgery to insert a tube in her chest.
New task force to study possible sorority changes
A task force to study the possibility of sorority extension or expansion at KU has been set up by the Panhellenic Presidents and the former, Panhellenic president, said yesterday.
The idea of extension was stimulated by a proposal received in March from the Interferaterythema Council (IFC), asking to reorganize and streamline the process, asking another sorter to come on campus.
The task force, headed by Kelley McCarthy, Northbrook, Ill., junior, will be subdivided to investigate extension--asking another sorter to establish a chapter here—and expansion-enlarging sororities that are here now.
Pfasteren the task force had been set up because of sorority members' confusion
"We had many women who didn't want to make a decision one way or the other on extension until they had received more information," Plasterer said. "This may seem like procrastination, but this is a big decision for sororites as a whole."
The task force will consist of interested members from all 12 sororities on campus, she said, and will report to regularly the Panhellenic President's Council.
Plasterer said she doubted that a decision would be made this semester.
Funding denied sex-grass study
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House has passed legislation that would block a sex and marijuana study at Southern Illinois University.
The study would have cost $121,000. Male college students would have been monitored for their reactions to erotic movies while they were smoking marijuana.
Rep. Bob Michel, R-III., sponsored the move to cut funds for the study at the Carbondale, III., school by amending a supplemental appropriations bill.
His efforts weren't opposed by either the subcommittee or the full appropriation committee. The item was approved and then the item passed the full supplemental measure.
Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., had announced in the Senate last summer that he was presenting his so-called "Golden Department of Welfare for the financing of a school intended to discover whether marijuana smoking had any effect on sexual arousal.

Roy strongly criticizes rising medical costs
By DAN BOWERMAN
Staff Writer
Bill Roy criticized the rising costs of personality and speech last night after he called for the Eagle Air Force to fund them.
Roy spoke to 25 persons during the monthly meeting of the Pre-Med-Prem Dent
Roy, a former U.S. Congressman and of about 200 Americaners who have both law and medical degrees, said that the growth of the American society had been fantastic in the last 25 years.
He said that there had been a 300 per cent increase in health care costs during that period. He said that the consumer almost twice as much as the Consumer Index, which indicates the rate of inflation.
"WE HAVE REACHED a point where we can do more things for more people than we can afford to do," Roy said. "But, health care is a human right."
He said that the United States was exceeding resources, and that it had to establish priorities in health care services. He emphasized spending in the form of Medical Services.
"Some hospitals have said that Medicaid doesn't pay its costs. Some private physicians have refused to take Medicare patients because it doesn't pay enough," he
COST OF HEALTH care services was one
The unavailability of physicians, one deterent to proper health care, can be seen in western Kansas. "Hoy said, 'where there are doctors, physicians or sometimes no hospitals at all."
The increased number of specialists has caused the unavailability of general practitioners.
of three barriers to proper health care, he said.
"I THINK THAT surgeons may soon see that there are too many surgeons," he said. "It is not in the best interests of America to train more subspecialists."
He said that personal physicians were only one part of health care and that human biology, life style and environment were also important factors in health care.
Roy said his main concern was that America was burdening its resources in this way.
"IF WE CAN't DO everything for everyone everywhere, what are we going to do for whom where?" he said. "It's not a question for physicians—it's a question for everyone."
Roy emphasized that he wasn't pessimistic about health care or the future.
"I think that the quality of medicine in the United States is much greater in our other professions, but we must decide where the priorities of health care lie," he said.
Democratic candidates' speeches obstructed by television strikers
WASHINGTON (AP)—A picket line set up by striking television technicians and journalists from Democrat presidential candidates form the editors' convention yesterday. Instead, the candidates answered questions over a telephone hookup which broadcast to the
The candidates scheduled to appear were Jimmy Carter, Henry Jackson, Morris Israel, and Bill Clinton.
A temporary restraining order issued against the National Association of Bicyclists.
(NABET) moved the picketers away from the front of the hotel where the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) was holding its annual convention. The candidates had refused to enter the hotel anyway.
NABET employees have been on strike against the National Broadcasting Co. since April 1. Their pickupers, accusing NBC of a breach, have kept NBC crews from covering the event.
Warren H. Phillips, president of ASNE,
