McGovern Letter Says Dole Not in Watergate
WASHINGTON—In the wake of a disclosure during the Watergate hearings that Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, received $3,000 in Nixon campaign money for a trip to Vietnam in 1971, a letter apparently released by Dole aides quotes Sen. George McGovern as saying that Dole had nothing to do with the Watergate scandal. The disclosure was made earlier by Hugh McSloan Jr., Nixon's former campaign manager, who said that at the time the funds were given "we could not understand why we would be paying for Mr. Dole's trip."
Dole aides had said earlier that the senator had used campaign funds rather than government money in order not to create the impersonation.
The McGovern letter, written in response to a letter asking whether he thought Dole was involved in Watergate, said that he was not.
"In fact, as many prominent Republicans have noted, one of the reasons the President now finds himself in such a mess is that he isolated himself from respectable Republicans and surrounded himself with men of questionable integrity." McGovern said.
House Passes Wage Hike Bill
WASHINGTON - The House passed a bill Wednesday that would increase the Home Depot charge from $1.60 an hour to $2.20 next year and benefit more than 6 million customers.
The bill, sent to the Senate, would raise the minimum wage rates in three categories: those covered by the Minimum Wage Act before 1966 would be benefited immediately after the amendment came into force and other workers would receive these benefits in successive stages. This would also extend to farm workers and domestic household workers.
Hunt Testifies to Grand Jury
LOS ANGELES—Watertage conspirator E. Howard Hunt testified in secret before a county grand jury on Wednesday about the plans he made for the burglary of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatric records, and he said that his son him to the grand jury in Washington now investigating Watertage.
Hunt and two other conspirators, Bernard Barker and Eugenio Martinez, have been granted immunity for their role in the burglary. They were expected to reveal who in the White House had given them their orders.
Astronauts Practice Space Walk
HOUSTON—Skylab's astronauts rehearsed the tricky spacewalk salvage job scheduled for today while the power problem aboard the space station was intensified by the weakening of another battery. The mission was not as optimistic about the job as were space officials on earth.
Skylab 1 is now operating on power equalling less than half its designed needs and the astronauts are expected to pull off a complicated repair job to save the mission.
CBS to Stop Instant Analysis
NEW YORK—CBS has announced that it will no longer carry instant analyses of presidential speeches on television or radio, according to a network announcement. It plans instead to have programs within a week after such speeches if there is "significant national disagreement" on their content. The programs will feature opposing views.
Other networks such as ABC and NBC would continue to follow a flexible policy on instant analyses. An NBC spokesman said it was not ruling out instant analyses and would evaluate different speeches to determine the time and nature of such analyses.
William Sheehan, senior vice president of ABC, said, "We do not believe in setting a blanket policy to apply to all future circumstances."
Spiro Pats Ruffled Feathers
STATELINE, Nev.—Vice-President Spiro Agnew's assurances at the National Governors Conference that he would be "available for consultation, available for counseling," evoked favorable response from the governors but failed to get their consent to President Nixon's manpower training proposal. The conference endorsed only one of Nixon's special revenue sharing programs—the relatively controversial law enforcement project—and denounced the manpower training proposal as bypassing the states.

Keino Beats Ryun in Mile Run
NEW YORK - Kip Keino of Kenya raced to an easy victory in the mile run at the International Track Association's final meet of the year, leaving Jim Ryan, former KU star, lagging hopelessly behind. Ryan came loping in last, finishing in 4:11. He did, however, win the $6,000 Grand Prix bonus for the best overall performance, which wound up before a record crowd of 15,501 at Madison Square Garden.
For Keino, who was timed at 4:03.0, this victory was a change from the bitterly disappointing season he had had so far.
Lawrence weather will continue to be pleasant and summery, with sunshine forecast for the next few weeks may climb as high as the low 95. The lows for tonight will be around the low 60s, with fair night weather. Weather tomorrow is expected to be partly sunny and warm.

WASHINGTON—A potential constitutional brawl was averted—at least for the moment —when the White House agreed Wednesday to provide to Senate Watergate documents detailed information on conversations between President Nixon and John W. Dean II.
Some questions remained about whether the information the White House was willing to give was everything the investigators wanted to see.
The White House and the Senate Watergate committee no sooner settled one potential clash of wills Wednesday than the prosecutor went to court and began another.
THE PROSECUTOR, Archibald Cox,

committee to hear potentially incriminating testimony in closed session, or at least in a hearing.
There was no immediate ruling, but the move seemed unlikely to set well with the committee, which has placed a premium on monitoring such facts surrounding the Watergate scandal.
Earlier in the day, the committee apparently averted a constitutional brawl with the White House—at least for the moment—when the White House agreed to provide Senate investigators with detailed information on conversations between the White House and John Kaine. Some question remained about whether the information the White House was willing to give was everything the investigators wanted to see.
COXMADE his appeal in connection with a motion from the Senate committee asking that Dean and the former deputy director of the Nixon re-election campaign, Jeb S. Magruder, be given immunity from prosecution for what he says before the Senate panel. Cox indicated he believed the immunity would be granted.
"The most appropriate order would be one requiring the testimony to be taken in executive session without subsequent public. Cox said in a memorial to U.S. D.C. District."
But, when asked if the substance of the Nixon-Dean conversations could be made available to the Senate investigators and to special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox if they asked for it, Warren replied, "I doubt it."
The conditions requested by Cux would apply only to testimony from witnesses in danger of being indicted on federal criminal charges.
DEPUTY HIRE House Press Secretary GERALD L. Warren said the material to be turned over to the Senate select committee Gerald L. Warren had the duration of face-to-face meetings and telephone between Nixon and Dean, the White House counsel Nixon fired April 30. Where meetings were involved, names of others would also be supplied, Warren said.
The constitutional problem arose with reports that the Senate committee might subpoena the logs, and the White House insisted that was not constitutionally possible because the logs were personal presidential papers. On Wednesday, the
committee said there would be no subpoenas.

One of the big problems that hinders greater interaction between foreign and American students at KU seems to be the American grading system.
Foreign students said they had been used to helping each other out, exchanging notes and books, and studying together for examinations.
The foreign students I interviewed said it defeated the possibility of teaching young men and women, a spirit of independence and cooperation with which to face the world outside.
"HERE, IT is all competition. If one of your classmates falls ill and can't take an exam, you go up on the curve," said one student. "What is the University teaching? Students come in, learn how to be selfish and go out."
Lack of cooperation from other students can take many forms. One foreign student related how he had forgotten to bring to class a printed sheet of paper he needed for homework, and the other wrote sheets and agreed to let the foreign student have one for 15 cents. The student paid up so
he could take the test, though he knew the cost of each sheet came to just under two dollars.
THE COMPLANTS run on and on-
trivial matters in some cases—but all adding up to bewilderment at what life at KU has turned out to be for the foreign student.
Some foreign students go to the extent of faulting themselves for their inability to fit into American society.
"It may be that some of our habitions annoy them and so they treat us this way instead of telling us what is wrong," one student offered.
"I think Americans have so little time for themselves that they cannot be bothered with it."
The girls I spoke to either did not date or had had just one date. One girl shily explained that American men were used to greater degrees of intimacy with their dates than a girl from a less permissive culture was able to adjust to.
ONE STUDENT said that girls tended to be friendlier as long as a foreign student did not date American boys. Once she began interacting, the girls stopped being friends, she said.
As for the male foreign student community, the ones who date all are few.
