A Monday, June 12, 1978 University Daily Kansan 1. Commission ponders proposed bike trail A proposed bike and hike trail between Lawrence and Leavenworth, along 30 miles of abandoned railroad line, is currently in a state of limbo, waiting for the Leavenworth County Commission to make a decision concerning the sponsorship of the trail. Harriet Hughes of Tonganake, an organizer of the O-Keet-Sha trail committee, said the Union Pacific Railroad, which owns the right-of-way, was for an official golf course, such as the Glenwood Golf Club, commission, to accept the land before it can become a trail. The railroad, which has abandoned the line, must decide between giving the right-of-way to farmers who are claiming it or allowing them to be carried into a public building and hiking trail. Hughes is requesting the official sponsorship from the Leavenworth Commission. Hughes said her committee was unable to convince the commission of the advantages of their proposal at the first meeting last month to discuss the proposal. ACCORDING TO HUGHES, Leavenworth officials said that it would cost too much to police the trail and that it would have to be fenced off. "We are engaged in getting supporters of the trail to write to the Leavenworth County Commission to convince them of the merits of the proposal." Hughes said. "We want to have a lot more positive input before we ask them again." According to Hughes, the city of Tonganoxie has received a letter from the Union Pacific supporting the bike and hike trail. "The people who are opposed to this are the ones who want to gain financially." Problems soon. Some adjacent property owners who apparently think the land belongs to them will get sued. "We contend that the land is public ground and belongs to no landowner," she said. HUGHES SAID that the land was original to the Union Railroad and sentiment to the Union Railroad rail According to Hughes, the U.S. government has come up with a plan to prevent that they are already sportscoring, reading on the railroad line is 3 percent, which makes it ideal for bicycles. Hughes led the right-of-way parallels the old trail, which starts in Leavenworth and ends at Fort Riley. The trail was designated a state road in 1866, Hughes said. The proposed bike and hike trail will extend from the Kaw River to the Missouri River. The committee hopes that eventually it would become a state park. Hughes said that there were many such trails in Wisconsin and Minnesota and that her committee would like to visit and learn about them to help their cause in Leavenworth.

A National Transportation Safety Board inspector combed the wreckage yesterday in an attempt to find the exact cause of the crash. The plane was upgraded and tested to make sure everything was satisfactory before it went on contract in Alaska, Sullivan said. In the conversion from military use, a jet engine and 2,000-laner slurry tanks were added. Slurry bombers are used to dump fire-retardant material on forest fires. The plane's slurry tanks were not loaded at the time of the crash. Frenchmen win Le Mans classic LE MAN, France (AP) — The French Renault factory won a $4 million racing gamble yesterday when its drivers, Didier Clement and Philippe Bastien, of the 46th Le Man 24-hour endurance class. Another Renault turbocarburator speedster finished fourth, driven by French rally stars Jean Rapiotti and Guy Frequelin, to round the world in a record-breaking, over the favored Forsale Honda Team. Another of the trouble-plagued Porsche speedsters came in third, wheeled by the leading American distance racing pair Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood, both of Jacksonville, Fla. Haywood shared the winning Porsche with Ickx last year when the first big Renault effort failed dismally, all four cars suffering engine blowups. Pironi and Jaussaid finished about 90 miles ahead of the Porsche 938 turbo driven by Belgian Jacky Ickx, who failed in his attempt to become the first five-time winner at Le Mans, with Bob Wolet of France and a development driver racing Darwin Burger.
