Forest Fire Under Control
CHADRON, Neb.—The National Forest Service called a forest and timber fire in northwestern Nebraska "officially controlled" after it burned about 30 square miles. No one was injured.

Bankers Discuss Money Crisis
BASEL, Switzerland—The usual wall of silence surrounded leading central banks of the Western world as they met for the second day behind closed doors for discussions of the international monetary crisis. Observers said they were virtually certain that no decisions were taken on the rapid decline of the dollar. Rumors of an imminent downturn in the dollar, plus a possible companion move of the British pound sterling, appeared to have subsided by a wake of a flat denial of such U.S. plans by Treasury Undersecretary Paul Volcker.

Chilean Congress Cramps Allende
SANTIAGO, Chile—The Chilean congress is celebrating its 162nd birthday busily applying the brakes on President Salvador Alende's advice to establish a socialist state.

The opposition has decided that the leftistist programs so often that he recently told supporters he would call for "if necessary" to let Chileans decide if congress should be dissolved.
List Crossed Party Lines
WASHINGTON - Besides the blacklist publicized in the earlier Watergate testimony, columnist Jack Anderson reports that the White House also maintained a secret list of Republican senators who displeased President Nixon.
Quoting unidentified White House sources, Anderson said in his column for today that those on the list were not invited to White House dinnerers or state functions, were cut off from campaign help and patronage and often couldn't arrange special White House tours for their guests in a traditional courtesy. Anderson quoted sources as saying the line was prepared by H. R. Halman, former White House chief of staff.
Among those named as having made the list included Sens. Jacobavits of New York, Mark Hatfield of Oregon, Clifford Case of New Jersey, Charles Mathias of Maryland, Richard Schweicker of Pennsylvania, Charles Percy of Illinois and Lowell Wecker Jr. of Connecticut.

The weather is expected to stay warm despite partly cloudy skies and possibilities of thundershowers at some time during the day. The highs for today will be in the mid 90s.
Where Have All the Prairies Gone...
... And Can We Save Them?
By JOHN BENDER
Kansas Stuff Writer
The tallgrass prairie that once covered much of the nation has diminished until only Kansas now has a significant remnant of it left. That is why E. Raymond Hall, professor of zoology, wants to do something to preserve it.
Hall said recently that there were aesthetic, recreational and scientific
reasons for preserving a part of the tallgrass prairie.

In 1830 the central lowlands were covered with tallgrasses such as bluestem and Indian grass. This tallgrass prairie extended from Canada into Texas, almost to the gulf of Mexico, and from central Kansas as far east as Indiana.
The tallgrass prairie is almost gone now, and the only area approximating the
original condition of the tallgrass plains is in southeast Kansas.
HALL SAID THE tallgrass prairie
hall presented unique displays from the vibrant
colors of the spring and summer to the rich
textures of mature native grasses in the
dormat zones.
In addition to the preservation of vegetation, indigenous forms of animal life may be preserved in 00421002.
American Volunteers Detained in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP)—Radio Uganda said Sunday that President Idi Amin was holding 112 American Peace Corps volunteers in Uganda because he suspected they may be mercenaries bent on killing the "Zionist" subversion in African countries.
Amin has sent messages to the presidents of Zaire, Burundi and Rwanda to confirm that the Peace Corps members were expected to arrive there, and only after he gets replies will he consider releasing them, the broadcast said.
The young American volunteers on their way to posts in Africa, were ordered to land in Uganda on Saturday. They were held overnight under armed guard at nearby Entebbe Airport, then transferred to a hotel, still under guard.
IN TELEGRAMS to other African leaders, Aram said he detained the volunteers since they might be mercenaries assigned to intervene in tribal troubles in nearby Rwanda and Burundi, the scene of recent disorders.
"Before we can allow these Peace Corps members to proceed," Amin said, "I would like to receive confirmation from President Mobutu of Zaire and President Michel Micromebor of Burundi whether their countries expected them."
In Washington the U.S. State Department said it was continuing to press Uganda for aid in the war.

IN THE MESSAGE, Arin accused Nixon of murder in Cambodia and wished him a "speedy recovery" from the Watergate scandal. The State Department rejected the message and declared it would refuse to allow the state to Uganda unless relations improved.
The previous U.S. ambassador, Thomas Melaye, was recalled last week and U.S. aid and Peace Corps programs in Uganda are being cut off following Amin's abrupt explosion of about 40,000 Asians in his campaign to Africanize the economy.
The chartered East African Airways jetliner carrying the U.S. Peace Corps volunteers from London to Zaire, the former Congo, left behind its American passengers and flew to Nairobi, Kenya, with its British and American crew.

Students at the University of Kansas now play a vital role in the political, economic and civic life of Lawrence and Douglas. Professor Darwin Rogera, Douglas County assessor.
Much of this new importance is a result of the large number of KU students who registered to vote in 1972 prior to the November elections, Rogers said Tuesday. County Clerk Delbert Matha said that approximately 5,000 students registered to
TWO FACTORS account for this sudden increase of student voters in the Lawrence and Douglas County areas. First, 1972 was the first year that 18-year-olds could vote in Kansas. Second, Colorado Atty. Gen. Vern Miller abolished the residency requirement 1972 after a United States Supreme Court decision to register until registration books are closed.
Rogers said student registration for voting purposes had important economic consequences for Lawrence and Douglas County. Students who live off campus or
Official population figures are important, he said, because the state of Kansas bases its distribution of funds to cities and counties upon them.

Rogers said the Lawrence population gain meant that the state would return an increased percentage of its cigarette tax to Lawrence, but it was too early to tell the exact amount of the into Darwin Eads, KU employment director, but students now contribute to the local economy.
BETWEEN WEB 1972 and July 1973, the official population of Lawrence increased 4,145 from 42,130 to 46,185. In the same time population increased from 4,246 to 4,481, and population increased 4,481 from 54,783 to 59,284.
By registering to vote, KU students increase the treasures of Lawrence and
The population gain in Douglas County means an additional $40,000 in state funds.
NO FIGURES are available on the number of students gainfully employed in the job offered.
Bessie Bennett, deputy treasurer of Douglas County, said no data were available regarding the amount of taxes RU received as a result of the state and local sales taxes.
Student votes have had an impact upon local elections, Betty Charlton, a local Democrat, said. Democrats performed with unprecedented success in 1922 local elections.
FOUR local Democrats were elected to office. Before 18-year-olds voted, there was only one Democratic office holder in the state, and the Democrat Cragan, elected in 1970 to the Douglas County Commission. Since Democratic Gov. Robert Docking's 1966 election victory, she said, it has become more respectable to vote for a Republican, and have been gaining a greater percentage of the vote in each election since 1968, she said.
