Local residents who knew Clarence M. Kelley during his days at KU in the mid-30s remember him in him, glowing terms descriptive of a model FBI director.
"Kelley took us under his wing to straighten us out so we wouldn't be so rowdy, recalls a former Sigma Nu teammate and roommate of Kelley's, Swede Everley.
Everly said Kelley was a "quiet, smooth guy" with "a 'lot of tact."
Although Kelley was physically large enough to enforce advice to the younger
men, Everly said, "He never laid a hand on us."
ANOTHER FORMER ROOMMATE of Kelley's, Scott Ashton of Shawnee Mission, remembers as a care about anybody who didn't cut a corer.
Echoing Everley's recollection, Ashton said that although Kelley was a "a big, tough guy . . . he was kind and wonderful to everyone."
Ashton described Kelser as "one of the greatest gentlemen I have ever known." He said that his former roommate had been called "Chief" even during his KU days.
KELLEY HAD BEEN called "Chef" in
high school because of his youthful, jutting jaw resembling to the figure on Big Chief
When he later became involved in law enforcement, he was compared to Dick Dixy, both for his appearance and for his involvement in the fight fighting through modern technology.
While Ashton and Kelley were at the Sigma Nu house, there were only three or four cars at the house. Ashton recalled. He had two trucks, which was known to the fraternity as "Bluebird."
MILTON ALLEN, Lawrence city attorney, also remitmed a tax. Allen gold will
"always loaded with friends" to when Kelley gave rides.
Alen said that he thought Kelley "knew what kind of career he wanted" even while at KU. "For a college age male at KU, he might have already come into contact with." Allen added.
Allen called Kelley "a very congenial fellow" who was "highly non-partisan" and a "serious student," descriptions also acted by others who had known Kelley at KU.
Allen said that he and Kelley were not close friends and that they were "social networkers" who often shared food.

U.S. Requests Costa Ricans To Extradite Financier Vesco
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica—The United States government has asked Costa Rica to extradite Robert L. Vesco, the American financier under indictment in connection with an unreported contribution to President Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign.
The Foreign Ministry announced Saturday it has forwarded the request to the supreme court. Sources said the court might decide Monday whether Vesco, a former New Jersey resident, can be extradicted.
Vesco failed to appear in a New York court last month to answer the indictment against him.
Vesco, a 37-year-old native of Detroit, has been indicted for trying to influence a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of his stock dealings with an unreported $200,000 contribution to Nixon's 1972 campaign fund.
Vesco also is charged with defrauding shareholders of Overseas Investors Services of $224 million during a time when he was investing in the company.
Indians Search for 3 Hijackers
NEW DELHI—The Indian government began Sunday what officers said was one of the biggest manhunts in recent years for three armed men who hijacked a Nepalese airliner in Indian territory and escaped into the jungle with $400,000.
The tri ordered the pilot to fly across the Indian border and land on a seldom-used aircraft built by allied forces during World War II. They drove away in a waiting jeep with the cases containing the currency notes.
A Nepalese embassy official said the money, which belonged to the Nepalese State Bank, was being transported on a regular Royal Nepali Air Force from Birtagaram, in southeast Nepal, to Kattamara, the capital. The hijackers did not seem to be politically motivated, the official said.
Israelis Egg Brandt
JERUSALEM - Rightwing demonstrators threw an egg and propaganda leaflets at West German Chancellor Willy Brandon after he visited holy places inside the old walled city of Jerusalem. The protest was the strongest objection so far against Brandt's visit to the Jewish community by a German government leader. About three dozen young Jews took part, shouting "Germans go home" and burning a German flag.
The theiroutist contrasted sharply with the generally warm welcome Brandt has found in Israel despite persistent memories of Germany's war.
Explorer 49 Zooms Moonward

Dean Says Nixon Halted Inquiry

Fraternity Pal Of Kelley at KU Found in Auto
Playwright Inge Dies at 60
By Kansan News Services
LOS ANGELES—Embittered over the years as he waited for the curtain call that never came, William Ingen, by profession a painter in New York, wrote a tragic finale to his own life Sunday.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright was found dead at his home in the Hollywood hills in his automobile, its engine running, inside a closed garage. Police said it was an apparent case of suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
"I was always in a play," Inge, a native Kanasan, had once said in explaining why he liked to take long, lonely, nightly walks through his garden. "This is why this liking for solitude had made him somewhat of a reacuse, the scarcity of screenwriting assignments, having heightened his dislike for socializing. Just as I found that he been particularly depressed and unhappy
INVESTIGATORS SAID Ige had been admitted to the UCLA Medical Centre last week for psychiatric observation following a hospitalization that later signed himself up three days later.
Inge, a 1935 KU graduate, won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1950 for "Pc-

and "All Fall Down."
As one of the quieter and more sly members of the Class of '35, Inge was well liked but appeared to prefer keeping out of campus politics or any great social activity. Those who knew him personally described him as "a person of his own environment."
INGE WAS not one of KU's exceptional scholars and, when he was back on campus in 1961, joked about having taken three semesters to make the grades to be initiated to the Sigma Nu fraternity, of which he was a member.
He was interested at the time in becoming an actor—an interest sparked when he got a minor part in Sean O'Casey's "Juno and the Paycock." He began to take an active interest in theater, and was member of the National Collective Players.
Although he went to New York after graduating with the intent of becoming an actor, gave up the idea, possibly as the result of a moment of stage fright in an

Bob Dole Takes Poke at Press, Says Watergate News Overdone
Kansas Sen. Robert Dole used a speaking invitation in Lawrence over the weekend to lash out at the news coverage of the Watergate hearings.
Dole, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, said the press could do too much in covering scandals and had a tendency to overkill.
Dole was speaking at a banquet sponsored by the Downtown Lawrence Association before the dedication Saturday of Phase 1 of the Downtown Lawrence Improvement Project.
HE SAID there had been a reversal of confidence in the government because of Watergate, but that the system was sound. He argued that the law didn't understand the system.
THE POLITICAL Action Committee of the Commission on the Status of Women will have an organizational meeting at 7 a.m. in Parlor A of the Kansas Union. The committee will determine what action to take on potential sexual discrimination in local and national politics.
THE PUBLIC Broadcasting Service will feature "Joyce Chen's China" on the special of the Week at 7 tonight and at 9 p.m. Saturday on WTU-TV, channel 11. The program will have filled highlights of an American-Chinese woman's return visit to Mainland China after she had lived in Boston for 20 years.
Dole said what was happening "doesn't really represent America today." He concluded, "I have great faith in those who serve the government at any level."
Dole told the receptive audience that it was because of the system that we were finding the truth. In an interview after his speech, Dole said, "I hope that it will be done." And he proclaimed that the Watergate case and proscribe those who broke the law at the same time."
IN THE dispute between Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and Sen. Sam Erwin's select committee, Dole said that he believed that he had been because he was a member of the Senate.
"However, I think the Senate also has a responsibility to Mr. Cox and his wishes."
since the Senate choke him out, he said.
Dole also said that he was afraid that if the dispute was not settled within the next week, "it will reach an impasse."
In his remarks prepared for the luncheon, Dole said about the Senate Watergate investigation, "I hope we can speed up what we're doing in the Congress."
HE SAID that the mail he had been receiving from constituents expressed a concern for "overkill" in the press and the Congress.
"I think they are rightly critical of Congress because that's all they are doing. I think the pendulum has swung too far." But he added, "I am confident that our system

HE TOLD those attending the luncheon that a revenue sharing plan would greatly
After Mayor Nancy Humberton recounted the long struggle of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to acquire federal funds for an urban renewal project, Dole criticized the slowness of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in appropriating funds.
Dole said Lawrence's lengthy fight for federal funds for the downtown improvement project was a prime example of the need for revenue sharing.
