Rebels Close in on Phnom Penh Despite Heavy U.S. Air Strikes
PHNOM PENH...Anti-government forces stepped up their attacks Tuesday along Phnom Penh's outer defenses, driving Cambodian loyalists from two positions and laying siege to three other outposts, despite around-the-clock U.S. air strikes. Unconfirmed field reports said a U.S. F11 jet fighter-bomber mistakenly attacked government troops in the town of Siem Reap, wounding more than 20 soldiers. In South Vietnam, the intensity of the fighting remained at a low level, although the government reported 70 more alleged violations of the cease-fire by the Communist side.
Nixon to Leave Hospital Friday
KANSAS CITY—Federal officials have called off a scheduled experimental shooting at the site of a dynamite blast in which two Raytown, Mo., youths were killed. There had been speculation a bullet may have penetrated one of two magazines containing 50 tons of that blew up Sunday, killing Gury Henke, 18, and David Stower, 18. Officers said it might never be known what caused the explosion.
WASHINGTON—President Nixon made final decisions on Phase 4 economic controls, met with White House lawyers on Watergate matters and received word that he could leave the hospital Friday. The White House said he would go to the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., when he leaves the hospital, for a long weekend of recuperation.
Funds Needed to Defend Indian
AMMAN, Jordan-Jordan has broken diplomatic relations with Tunisia, the Jordanian government says. A spokesman for King Hussein's government said Jordan took the action to protest a statement, attributed to Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba, that the monarchy in Jordan should give way to a Palestinian state on the east bank of the Jordan River.
Jordan Cuts Ties with Tunisia
TOPEKA-Officials at the Topeka Indian Center have announced a drive for legal defense funds to help Joyce Guerrero appeal her recent conviction and jail sentence. Kenneth Cadue, communications specialist at the Indian center, accused the federal government of using Guerrero's case as an "example" to thwart Indians in their search for civil justice. Guerrero was convicted by a federal court jury in late May of concealing government property stolen from the Bureau of Indian Affairs offices in Washington, D.C., late last year.

The few clouds in the sky aren't going to take away the summer heat forecast for today. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 90s, and it should be cooler. The scattered thundershowers expected in northeast Kansas hits Lawrence.
Special NCAA Meet in August
KANSAS CITY—A special College Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) convention is scheduled in Chicago Aug. 6-7 for considering reorganization proposals made by a special committee. The NCAA's reorganization committee suggests organization under three divisions. The proposal will be presented at the national championship committee. The proposals also call for the NCAA to sponsor at least 39 national championships with at least 10 in each of the three divisions.
Alaska Pipeline Idea Gets Boost
WASHINGTON—In an effort to alleviate an energy shortage, the Senate has passed a bill to permit a consortium of oil companies to begin immediate construction of the controversial Alaska oil pipelines. The bill, if approved by the House, would remove all legal barriers that have blocked construction of the controversial pipeline more than three years. Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, co-sponsor of one of the bill's most disputed amendments, said after the final 70-22 vote: "I would hope we could build construction this fall."
Gettts Prepare to Pay Ransom
ROME-J. J. Paul Getty III, 16-year-old grandson of the American oil billionaire, has written his mother asking her to pay the ransom demanded by his kidnapers, police sources say. The letter was sent to Martine Zacher, a German friend of the boy, who delivered it to Mrs. Getty's house a few hours after she confirmed that her son had been kidnapped.
Coup Topples Afghan Monarch
NEW DELHI—Afghanistan was proclaimed a republic in a palace coup that ended the monarchy and the 40-year reign of King Mohammed Zahir Shah. Lt. Gen. Sardar Mohammed Daud Khan, the leader of the coup and husband of the king's sister, pledged to give the landlocked central Asian nation genuine democracy in place of what was under siege by the Taliban in 2002. Mohamed was taking mud bath health treatments on the Italian island of Ischia near Naples when news of the coup was broadcast from Kabul the capital.

WASHINGTON - Playwrights, actors, directors and all involved with stage plays, screen plays and teleplays are absorbed in closely loosely labeled "The Watergate Hearings."

One might begin by considering whether the hearings are drama at all, drama defined as 'a term applicable to any situation in which there is conflict and, for theatrical purposes, resolution of that conflict.'
Since the resolution is not yet in sight, one finds it impossible to say whether this is drama or merely its extravagantly garish bastard, melodrama.
THE SCRIPT STLL is being written and, what's more, before our eyes. Virtually everyone over 6 knows that drama, in its endless gradations, is contrived. Except for the stunners, the most assured talk shows, immediately most expected from our electronic circuses.

But here is immediacy. This rare quality not only is exceptional for audienct but also makes the piece accessible.

Since the importation of Stanislavsky's theories, two generations of American actors have been obsessed with this "illusion of the first time." They have become the new recipients of recapture, in highly personal terms, a writer's attempts to isolate truth.

Tough Phase 4 Anticipated

WASHINGTON—The Nixon administration will disclose today a "fairly tough" Phase 4 controls program, perhaps by stage-by-stage lifting of the 60-day price freeze.
The complex set of new regulations that will apply to the economy means that prices will be permitted to go up again, but only under specific conditions.
BUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY, hard by the price freeze, may be let out of the freeze early. So may a few other industries where the food is produced, cost of Living Council officials said.
The administration has suggested that the price regulations might force some businesses to absorb some of their own costs.
Committee Requests Presidential Tapes
Phase 4 will be tougher and more comprehensive than President Nixon's Phase 2
Treasury Secretary George Shultz will give details of the program this afternoon at the White House.
A CONGRESSIONAL source said Phase 4 would allow processors and middlemen to boost their prices to recover their costs on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
WASHINGTON (AP)—While the Senate Watergate committee continued gentlely battle with President Nixon on presidential records and tapes, lawyer Herbert Kahnbaum testified Tuesday that he was "used" by top White House aides.

In the conversation, which Kalmbaud said he did not know was being taped, Ehrlichman suggested that Kalmbaud recite main details of testimony to the grand jury.
domestic counsel to Nixon, told Kalmbach that a scheme in which Kalmbach solicited funds for Watergate defendants had been pursued and defrauded White House Counsel John Dean III.
Kalmbach recited again and again in his second day of testinion, however, that while he first accepted Dean's assurance that the fund-raising operation was proper, he soon developed doubts, went to war with the government, was entrusted by Ehrlichman that it was proper.

This would be stronger than the old Phase 2 rules that allowed middleness to profit from a lack of knowledge.
But wages are expected to be held under roughly the same rules. This would mean that pay increases would be subject to a general wage guideline of 5.5 per cent and a credit rule would be flexibly enforced to allow for boosts over that amount if warranted.
THE SOURCE, who said the guideline on wages would be left essentially unchanged, said, 'I believe the two Georges, Shultz and Bluthz, are to be treated equally.' Shultz is secretary of the Treasury;

Based upon previous government statements, it appeared the program probably would also include the following features:
Limitions will be placed on the amount of increased costs that big business can convert into price increases when the freeze occurs. These costs may be recoverable at a later date.
IT WILL INCLUDE some sort of mandatory allocation program for petroleum products to replace the existing voluntary program.
Large companies will have to give advance notification and receive specific approval of the Cost of Living Council before increasing prices.
There will be exemptions from controls

for small businesses, based either on the number of employees or the number of sales.
CHARMAN JOHN DUNLOP of the Coast of Living Council said Tuesday the program would be "fairly tough." He revealed to newsmen at a briefing that a few industries probably would be exempt from Phase 4 at the start but said there would not be manny.
He indicated they would be industries which had special difficulty or which were difficult to reach.
Council officials had the current price freeze had been effective in that it had restrained price increases but it also reduced the adverse effects that controls could have on supply.

The Choice: Poison Ivy or Calamine
Like a hound.
You'll be scratchin',
You're gonna need an ocean,
The minute you start to mess around,
Poison Ivy. . .
The humorous lyrics of this old '50s hit are no joke to someone who has actually come in contact with the noxious weed and had a reaction to it. Contact with poison ivy can cause violent inflammation and blistering.
In some cases contact with poison ivy, poison smac or poison oak, all native to this area of Kansas, can result in hospitalization.
With vacation time already here for some and rapidly approaching for many more in August, it might be wise to recognize these plants and avoid them.
But perhaps the best preventive measure, according to Dr. Robert Carnashan, student health service physician, is to avoid contact with all unfamiliar plants.
CARNHAI SAID that the student health service has been providing treatment nearly every day for patients suffering from a condition due to "some type of plant exposure."
Treatment of severe poison ivy reactions at the student health center consists of 'cool

soaks" in baths of corn starch or baking soda, according to Carnahan. In some cases persons receive anaesthetic creams and spruces.
Swallowing a boiled tea-like distillate made from the leaves of poison ivy has been alleged by some to work as a cure or an immunization. Carnahain said that this might cause "local irritation" of the mouth and throat and he advised against it.
THERE is not now any immunization that will prevent a reaction to poisonous plants but one is expected within the next decade. The University of California and Ohio State University have isolated a compound called urushiol, derived from poisonous plants, and have successfully immunized mice against toxic reactions to the plants.
Carnahan said that a substance was available in injection form which would reduce individual sensitivity to the toxic resins in plants like poison ivy, but that the injection would not necessarily prevent a reaction.
He advised that if contact with a poisonous plant were suspected, immediate washing of the skin and clothing would be the best aid in reducing a reaction.
PAST MMUNITY to poisonous plants is
guarantee of future immunity, according to
"I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to handle poison ivy just because they haven't had any problems with it in the past," he said.
It is possible, be said, for persons to get reactions from airborn resins without even touching the plants and to spread the resins by scratching affected areas of the skin and picking the resins up beneath the fingernails.
Carnahan said that an individual reaction could last from 3 to 10 days, depending upon the sensitivity of the individual and the receiving of medical attention.
HAROLD BLITCH, supervisor of grounds and landscaping for the buildings and grounds department, said that his depart- ment was being used to pollinate poisonous plants whenever they saw them.
"We use 2-D around the base of trees, in the tree grove, where we see it," he said.
Bilch said that he didn't think there was any around Potter Lake and he said thought that poisonous plants were under control around campus.
