CIA documents found
WASHINGTON—Chairman Ogi G. Pike said yesterday his House intelligence committee staff has accounted for 200 of 322 documents the CIA described as lost. He accused the CIA and State Department of conducting "a media event" to discredit the committee.
Pike, a New York Democrat, told the house his staff went to headquarters Monday afternoon and accounted for the 200 documents before quitting for the milieu.
He accused the State Department of leaking to the media last week the contents of a letter to the chairman from CIA counsel Matthew Rogovin contending that the Russian government had violated his confidentiality.

15 coal miners killed
WHITESBURG, Ky.—Fifteen miners were found dead early this morning in a southeastern Kentucky coal mine.
Authorities said the miners apparently were killed by poisonous gases after they were trapped in the mine following an explosion yesterday afternoon.
About 150 men Were working in the mine at the time of the explosion. All but 15 got out safely, officials said.
The mine is about 10 miles northeast of Whitesburg in Letcher County.
The Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration spokesman in Washington said the explosion might have been set off by machinery friction, either in coal dust
TOPEKA—A bill to ban the use of studded tires was killed yesterday by the Kansas Senate.
"It's another bad piece of legislation that it's just going to put additional financial pressure on businesses," she said. The bill to ban studded trees was advocated by State Sen. Bob Story, R-Topke.
Studded tire ban defeated
Sturkey said testimony before his committee showed that there was excessive road wear from metal and ceramic studs and little evidence that they were safer.
TOPEKA-A a bill to clear the way for sale of water from John Redmond Lake in Burlington near Burlington was tentatively approved in the Kansas House.
Action came on a voice vote after nearly four hours of debate.
Several attempts to amend the measure were defeated by a wide margin. The bill is scheduled for a final vote. Passage would send it to Gov. Robert F. Russell.
The pending contract has been ruled invalid by Atty. Gen, Curt Schneider because of the alleged conflict of interest by two members of the state Water Resources Board who negotiated the contract on behalf of the state. The contract is not available to any other party and is not a Light Co. The two utilities are planning the plant near Burlington as a joint venture.
Water bill approval nears
KU women's groups had FBI infiltrators
KANAS CITY (AP)—I think it the funniest thing I ever heard," a former feminist律师 in Lawrence said yesterday she infiltrated the group she helped establish.
“It’s sad, but funny,” said Julie Munday, former university of Kansas student and organizer of the 1972 February Sisters group on campus that led protests for women’s causes. “What a waste of time for them. I hope they enjoyed themselves.”
Bennett favors the death penalty for certain crimes, including murder of a policeman, murder in a kidnapping or a rape, murder for hire and multiple murders.
Kansas City, Mo, and Columbia, Mo., also were among the five cities where the FBI ordered surveillance for newly formed feminist organizations for six months during 1970, it was revealed Monday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The upcoming year is also important for higher education, Barnett said. He said he was unsure whether this recommendations for the final year of a three-year increase in salaries and overhead expenses for KU would pass.
Casey Eike, assistant to the dean of women at KU, said she wasn't surprised the FBI considered the women's movement revolutionary.
"The country was paranoid then about all revolutionary groups, but I'm surprised they picked Lawrence," Eike, a former KU student, said.
"Although wheat production will be down this year, most of last year's wheat hasn't been sold," Bennett said. "When this wheat revenue won't directly feel the situation,
An FBI agent stationed in Kansas City, Mo. said yesterday he was wusured who the suspect was.
"There was no reason for us to continue surveillance of the groups," Bill Williams, FBI district director said. "I'm searching for the reason myself."
The hope for the Republican party is its young people, Gov. Robert F. Bennett told a group of KU College Republicans last night. The 18- to 20-year-old vote should be recruited in the upcoming election year, he said.

situation because he had been in Kansas City only since January 1975. But he admitted his office would have been the one to handle the operation.

The reports indicated the FBI collected information on the Women's Liberation Union in Kansas City and feminist organizations on the campuses of the University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of Kansas.
Recently, Bennett traveled to western Kansas to look at this year's drought-enslaved corn.
"We sort of assumed at the time the FBI was in all probability keeping tabs on those involved," said Linda Phelps, 33, who was a student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City during the time the surveillance took place.
Youth GOP's hope, Bennett says
Many women active in the early days of the women's movement in Columbia, Mo., are still connected with the university. In 1987, as the school has been its spring vacation,
The surveillance was conducted from April to October 1970.
"The importance of the disclosures is in making the general public aware of the extent of government surveillance of government activities," the statement read in part.
In an official statement, the union said it was pleased the information had surfaced.
The FI stopped its surveillance when it determined the women weren't renting.
The Republican party is in danger of becoming "a minority party of men with gray suits and gray hair" if it doesn't support the vote to ignore the under-25 vote, he said.
Bennett stressed the importance of involvement by young people in the 1978
mended. Because of that they will have to cut some programs, he said.
Students should look at the candidates in their district, choose one to vote for and vote for.
Bennett said. "Let your candidate know your ideas."
"Don't be content with licking stamps,"
Nuclear energy is important for Kansas, Bennett said, because energy reserves are on the decline and Kansans must discover new sources of energy.
Public opinion is often strongly against nuclear energy because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Brennett answered numerous questions from the audience, including questions concerning nuclear energy, the death of Al-Qaeda, wheat crop and marijuana penalties.
Bennett he thought the penalty for possession of marijuana should be reduced to $25.
Foreign books shown in Watson
A collection of 37 German books, donated in honor of the Bicentennial, have been received.
KU received the collection from the German Research Society in Bonn, James Helary, assistant director of libraries, said that Mr. Helary had met with the second floor near the reference desk.
The books are German contributions to the study of American literature and thought. They deal with such authors as Hawthorne, Poe, Irving, James, Dreiser, Faulkner and Williams, as well as studies on the New Deal, the Depression and comparative law.
Marijuana . . .
From nage one
Gov. Bennett also said he would support President Gerald R. Ford in the upcoming election.
Arguments against the softening of marijuana laws are mainly at the expense of workers.
In June 1974 at a hearing held by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, many opponents of marijuana testified that its use was clearly dangerous. But vocal critics have maintained that there has been no medical proof that marijuana is even as harmful as alcohol.
At any rate, even among opponents of marijuana, there appears to be many who do not know about it.
And as use of marijuana increased, so did the number of arrests.
But perhaps more notably, the impact of thousands of arrests of the children of white, middle-class Americans may have prevented such a horrific event for fenders who suffered prison terms, or at
In 1965, an estimated 18,000 persons were arrested for state and local violations of the law. Almost half of them soared to more than 420,000—and many police, prosecutors and judges found themselves swamped with marijuana. The number of enforcement of serious crime suffered.
least were saddled with arrest and conviction records.
Glover is hoping that those arrests will carry carry his amendment through the KKP.
"Every time a teenager in the middle class gets busted, we gain a couple of more friends."
Though Glover hasn't closely followed the steps of state statutes to decriminalize his decriminalization, he says he has the evidence to show that drug use there has not increased since the new laws went into effect.
A survey taken in Oregon one year after it had abolished criminal penalties for simple possession of small amounts of marijuana had found that the majority favored the new approach, and that the number of people using marijuana hadn't since been twice the criminal sanctions were removed.
The survey, commissioned by the independent Drug Abuse Council, reported that many users decreased their consumption of small-multiple number said they increased their use.
(Tomorrow: The effects of marijuana are examined.)
Revenue sharing debated
"Part of their importance is that they were given to us in recognition of the bishop's service to the Holy Helper."
Another foreign collection, "Realismo Magico—Receni Latin American Literature in Translation," is being shown in Watson lobby. More than 75 titles from KU libraries Latin American collection are listed.
The KU libraries' Latin American collection contains about 120,000 volumes. The Central American, Colombian, and Brazilian holdings, including manuscripts and primary materials, are recognized as research resources of international stature.
opposes revenue sharing on grounds of governmental principle, said in an interview it would have to be continued disruption of local government financing.
Chairman Brock Adams, D-Wash., of the House Budget Committee, who says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress begins in earnest today to weigh the fate of a program that has poured some $30 billion in federal funds into state and local governments since 1972.
Even opponents of the concept of revenue sharing tend to agree that it cannot as a practical matter be cut off abruptly at the end of 1978. States and other units which will be making up their budgets and, in many cases, starting their fiscal years in the next few months must know what funds they can count on.
But the law that allists a share of federal tax collections to states and smaller government divisions, to be spent virtually at their discretion, has built up formidable backing by governors, mayors and other officials.

Federal revenue sharing, controversial since it began, is more controversial than ever in election year 1976. It was one of the major undertakings of former President Richard Nixon's "New Federalism" program, and is strongly supported by President Ford.
The five-year period for which revenue sharing was authorized runs out D. 31. Pursuant to the settlement, tended five more years. A House Government Operations subcommittee has heard a complaint against
Among congressional Democrats, who hope their party will recapture the White House this year, there is sentiment for freeing the nearly $7 billion earmarked annually for revenue sharing to finance federal programs. The Democratic administration would put its mark.
