FEC changes approved
WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a bill yesterday that would restructure the federal Election Commission (FEC) and make other changes in the 1974 campaign.
The FEC last met its of power at midnight Monday when Congress failed to meet a Supreme Court-imposed deadline providing for presidential appointment of
The court ruled Jan. 30 that the FEC was unconstitutionally established because a majority of its members were appointed by Conress.
One last-minute reminder to the Senate bill was a sweeping financial disclosure provision, adopted 76 to 13. The financial disclosure amendment would require Congress members, federal judges and top government officials to submit reports by 15 of every year disclosing their own and their spouses assets and abilities.
Sen. Mark O. Hattfield, R-Ore., said the Senate was under pressure from presidential candidates, particularly the Democratic contenders, to resolve the FEC dispute. The Senate's passage of the measure, however, won't stop an expected vote on the legislation. In fact, the House isn't expected to take up the legislation of its own before next week.
A spokesman at the National Earthquake Information Service in Golden, Colo., said the two meters measured between 4.5 and 5.5 on the Richter scale.
two earthquakes that rumbled through parts of at least seven Mississippi Basin states yesterday caused minor damage but no reported injuries.
The antibaques were "milior to moderate" and were felt in parts of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois, the spokesman said.
Both quakes, the first recorded at 7:41 p.m. EST and the second about 20 minutes later, were centered in Northeastern Arkansas.
Officials at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala., said the first reading on its seismograph registered between 4.75 and 5 on the Richter scale. The second reading occurred between 3.62 and 3.85.

The spokesman at the Earthquake Information Service said, "We wouldn't expect too much damage. Damage would be of a minor sort."
WASHINGTON - Black victims of job discrimination must be granted special semiseminary probation, an advantage over previously hired workers.
Senior Court ruled instead.
Fired blacks given seniority
The 5-3 decision applies to workers who sought jobs, were turned down because of their race and were subsequently hired by the same employer. The court said they should be given seniority dating from their original rejection under ordinary circumstances.
"Without an award of seniority dating from the time at which he was discriminated, refused employment, an individual will never obtain his rightful benefits."
The employment discrimination decision stemmed from blacks' complaints that having the last be hired, they were also the first to be fired.
The federal Civil Rights Act empowered federal courts to deal with job discrimination by ordering workers hired, reinsted, given back pay or given leave.

a consequence, he couldn't give a report as treasurer.

Normally the treasure's term of office is
House. House said he became
treasure around 1845.
Several senators favored having House seats TH. Senate took a voice vote and chose Th. Senate.
"Regardless of what has happened in the last week, I've had a hell of a good time in it."
House said he thought he was justified in mailing the letter because it was part of his job to keep senators informed on matters involving the treasury.
AMID APPLAUSE, House approached the microphone and said, "This was the first time I heard that my term of office was over."
Ed Rolfs, former student body president,
spoke against the bill. He repeated House's
argument that one person couldn't handle
the study of the StudEx chairman and
the treasurer.
2 killed, 1 injured in one-car accident
Two Lawrence men were killed and another was critically burned in a car accident yesterday 8 miles northwest of the city.
Dead are Robert E. Brown, 26, 833
Mississippi, and Patrick E. Hushour, 24, 745
New York. The injured man was Hugh M.
Blitch, 28, Route 2.
Rolfs also said that because the treasurer isn't a voting member of the Senate, he isn't subject to the conflict of interests that a StudEx chairman might have. The StudEx chairman is a voting senator and a teacher of a particular student constituency.
Leavenworth County authorities said the accident occurred when the car left a one lane gravel road and overtured in a creek about 25 yards east of U.S. 24-40.
BRUCE WONER, Hutchinson senior and former StuDEx chairman, also argued against the bill. He said he didn't think a substantial case had been made against House criticisms, and he thought she didn't abolish the office because she "didn't like House."
The Senate also elected Juli Anderson,
