5 Apply for Health Director
By JOHN DONICA
Kansas Staff Writer
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Commission met in closed, executive session Wednesday night to consider applications that have been received for the position of administrator of the health department.
Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, acting director of the health commission, said that five applications had been received to date and more would be received in the near future.
"We have gone over all the applications and we are now in the process of making arrangements to bring each of the ap- plications Lawrence for interviews." Schweger said.
A letter from the health commission is being sent to the Douglas County Medical Society, Schwinger said, to solicit its help in rescuing a child who was rescued by health director March 7. A resolution passed Tuesday by the society criticized the health commission for wanting to hire both an administrator to handle the medical responsibilities on behalf of the patient.
"We (the health commission) want to know if the medical society knows of any young, enthusiastic doctors who are both trained and interested in public health medicine," Schweger said. "We can go one where we can. We can hire one person to handle both our medical duties or we can hire two people, one as an administrator and one as doctor."
Although Schwegler could not pimp an exact date for hiring the new director, he did say that the commission expected to have the problem solved by the beginning of the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. "However, we expect to have a permanent replacement long before then," Schwegler added.
Dr. David Slovik, public health officer at Haskell Indian Junior College, is being considered as a possible interim replacement, Schwegler said. The only

dropped his long-standing claim that all members of the White House staff and the administration had been cleared of involvement in the matter.
The Justice Department and the White House declined to discuss the Watergate
President Nixon's spokesman said he could answer no questions on the subject now.
Hushen said only Kleindienst and Peter Petersen, Secretary of Commerce, had first-hand knowledge of what was going on, and they were refusing to answer murders
Press secretary Ronald Ziegler said that on advice from the proper legal authorities any responses by him to the many questions posed by newmen might prejudice the rights of individuals, the efforts of federal prosecutors and the judicial process.
Ziegler said he thought it was unwise and unfair in human terms to discuss in-unfair who could face prosecution as a result of national federal grand jury investigation.
In other Watergate developments:
—Democratic chairman Robert Strauss said Republicans were indicating guilt in the Watergate case by offering a reported $252,000 to settle a multi-million-dollar package of lawsuits arising from the wiretapping.
A spokesman for the campaign organization said negotiations were under way with the Democrats but wouldn't confirm that any money offer had been made. He said any offer would not necessarily indicate guilt.
—Maurice Stans, former finance chairman for Nixon's campaign, arranged a meeting with lawyers for Common Cause, a nonpartisan citizens' group which is suing Stans and the Nixon campaign for full disclosure of finances. Common Cause lawyer Mitchell Rogovin said he wanted all financial records of Nixon's campaign.
—Democratic lawyers requested that Martha Mitchell, wife of the former attorney general, appear May 3 to give sworn testimony in Wategate laws lawsuit. She was requested to bring any records or evidence on her account of hearing on the Wategate burglary or on Jasmin McDock, wriether who once served as bodyguard to the John N. Mitchell family.
Oil...

to stimulate great increases in direct imports of gasoline.
But William Johnson, an official of the administration's Energy Policy Committee, told newsmen the anticipated imports would help supplies of Number Two fuel oil substantially and would allow U.S. refiners to concentrate on gasoline.
Their concentration on gasoline, a more profitable product, last summer has been widely blamed for the fuel oil shortages of the past winter.
Nixon asked Congress to end federal regulation of prices of new natural gas supplies on the interstate market, with the allowing gas prices to rise and thus stimulating national gas development. He proposed that that contracts remained under their regulated terms. As the contracts expire, all gas pricing would eventually unregulated.
Nixon held a price-regulation option in reserve, however, by asking Congress to authorize the Interior Department to impose natural gas price ceilings if necessary.
Nixon urged citizens and federal agencies to try to save energy, but he offered no major conservation programs.
The commission voted to temporarily hire Marilyn Chamberlain, a member of the commission, as acting administrator of the health department.
roadblock to Slovak's appointment will be getking approvals from the U. S. . Public authority.
Schweigler said the appointment was strictly an emergency measure to make the handling of paper work easier for the department.
"Mrs. Chamberlain has no interest in keeping the job," Schwegler said. "The work she is doing is over and above her role as a member of the health commission."
Schweiger himself is in the same position because he has been hired to act as tem- perator.
But he said, "no one should get the idea that we are hiring ourselves to perform these duties. These are strictly emergency measures."
Funds Still Available For Home Renovation
By C. C. CALDWELL Kansan Staff Writer
Shaake said that he had received only six applications for individual home rehabilitation grants and that of four of the five applicants, two are possible candidates for the grants.
Lawrence still has $14,000 in urban renewal funds available for housing rehabilitation grants, city Neighborhood director Don D. Shaake said Wednesday.
The federal program providing the maximum $3,500-a-house grants is being phased out during a winding-down process of proposed reevaluation.
To be eligible for the grants, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Shake said that one of the principle problems encountered in satisfying the eligibility requirements arose because some of those financially eligible for the differential do not secure loans to provide the differential and therefore homes up to minimum code requirements.
-Applicants' homes must be owner occuired.
- Applicants' incomes may not exceed $3,000 each a year, although there are federal provisions for adjustment to this eligibility requirement if the particular applicant is spending more than 25 per cent of his income for housing.
- Applicants' grants must assure that houses will be brought up to the minimum housing code requirements. If additional private financing is available to cover any differential, the applicant would probably still be eligible.
He said that previously a federal loan program had afforded long-term, low incomes and could be used in such cases but that Congress had not funded the program for the current fiscal year.
Shake cited Congressional and HUD dissatisfaction with previous efforts at rehabilitation. He said that elsewhere, the program had been discredited by local scandals and vandalism, which had made some rehabilitated houses eligible for rehabilitation again within three months of initial effort.
University of Kansas students living in homes they own in East Lawrence are conceivably eligible for the remainingitation grants, as Shake said last month.
He said Wednesday that his office must have the remaining funds committed by the end of June, or the funds will be unavailable.
Wednesday's Kansan incorrectly reported that the College Assembly tentatively approved Tuesday a proposal that would increase the mathematics requirements. The assembly only ended discussion on it.
Correction
The assembly did not pass requirements for Western Civilization, English, laboratory sciences, distribution and major research. The assembly ended the Body only ended discussion on it.
The assembly may still discuss language and speech requirements. Discussion was not tabled, as incorrectly reported. The assembly met in April on the requirements in its April 10 meeting.
Results from a research project conducted last summer at the University of Kansas by Elizabeth Pollock, National Science Foundation (NSF) undergraduate college, have been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
