Crash Ends Trip to Fair; 106 Perish
HOCHWALD, Switzerland (AP) — A British housewife shopping trip to a Swiss spring fair turned into tragedy Tuesday as her airline crashed on a blizzard-swift hull.
Police said 106 of the 146 on board the Police light from Bristol, England, perished. Sixty-three of the women were from the United States. The victims was a population of about 1,000.
The four-engine Vickers Vanguard turboprop had a crew of seven. Some of the 40 survivors of the crash got out of the plane unhurt.
The women had paid the equivalent of $41 for the flight  $\textcircled{1}$ the spring fair in nearby Basel for a day of shopping and a return home by midnight.
The aircraft approached Bassel in four weather, and the pilot apparently overshot Basel's airport. He headed south into a blinding snowstorm and crashed on a hilltop 10 miles to the south. One survivor said that the plane collided with an aircraft of the aircraft, air in the air, and crashed.

A blizzard that dumped 15 inches of snow blocked the route of rescue teams for two hours. Mer finally made it on foot and the team sent helicopters to fly out survivors.
Rescuers tracked survivors' footprints in the snow to reach the wreckage. One survivor, identified only as B. Gillow, was able to understand some distance from the crash site.

Several of this year’s most controversial student-student organizations will appear tonight before the Finance and Auditing Committees of their fund accounts for next year.
The KU Reclamation Center, the Sailing Club, the Supportive Educational Services (SES) and the Student Senate, all have generated large amounts of criticism this week for their operations and use of student activity桌椅 among the 11 groups to be reviewed tonight.
This will be the last scheduled session for reviewing funding requests. Finance and will begin deliberations Thursday to arrive at a final proposed budget by Sunday night.
The KU Sailing club aroused controversy early this year when it was allocated $2,200 to purchase two sailboats for the club, and funding policies had pointed to the club through the year as an example of a large expenditure for a social interest group.
SES, which had spent $37.50 of its current senate allocation by Feb. 28, has requested $15,330 of student funds, for next year. $14,700 of that will be used for salaries.
THE CLUB RECEIVED a total of $2,852 this year. Although its next year's request of $1,810 is a reduction from the current amount, $1,300 of the request is earmarked for purchase of a rescue boat, an outboard motor and rescue equipment.
SES, a minority student tutor program, came into the spotlight of attention when Mexican-American students accused the school of stealing students other than blacks to participate.
The Union Memorial Board then intervened and requested SES to submit its financial records under threat of suspension Union Board funding. The Board ruler晚立
SES responded to the charge by saying that it could not provide services to all minorsities without increased funding. In the senate, SES received $7,776 from the senate, SES received $14,000 in Kansas Union Bookstore rebates from the University Memorial Board this year.
The KU Reclamation Center, which

received $5,300 this year, has requested
$5,140 for next year.
The center has been plagued by management problems and financial diffi- culty.
KATHY CLARK, director of the reclamation center, said recently that the center had still not reached a position of being financially self-sufficient. Clark said he would achieve sufficient community response to become financially independent.
The Student Senate, which received $67,100 this year to fund its own operation in addition to several other agencies under its fund, requested to request to meet $12,500 this year.
The Curriculum and Instruction Survey,
the Emporium bookstore and the International Film Series all have requested
their reviews. The three groups, requests total $12,432.
SEVEN OTHER GROUPS will appear before the Finance and Auditing committee tonight to request funds for next year. The KU Soccer Club, which received $1,893 this year and had spent $280.14 by late February, has requested $3,320 for next year. The club's only expenditures this year have been for travel and equipment.
The major reduction in funding was prompted by the decision of three groups now funded by the senate to seek funding on an independent basis for next year.

Tau Sigma, an honorary fraternity,
exceived $600 this year. The group had spons-

Tau Sigma has requested $779 for next year.
SORMEBE, a minority engineer's organization, received $2,165 this year. The organization had spent $238.15 by late February, most of that on office supplies and travel. SORMEBE has requested $3,094.55 for next year.
THE JAYHAWK Volleyball Club has requested $61.48 for next year. The club was allocated $44 this year, and by the end of February had spent $8.50.

U.S. Airlift Supplies Fuel to Phnom Penh
SAIGON (AP)—The United States began airriffing fuel Tuesday into Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, whose main supply routes have been cut and harassed by Communist command forces.
The airlift was announced by the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh and by the Pentagon in Washington, A C130 Hercules transport carried the first load of fuel in a huge plastic bladder and unloaded it at Phnom Penh's airport.
The Pentagon disclosed that since July, about 10 cargo planes daily had been carrying supplies, mostly military, to the Cambodian capital.
Pentagon spokesman Jerry Freeman declined to give the maximum number of flights in any one day for the new airlift, but said, "This is not a major airlift."
In Phnom Penh an embassy spokesman said that without a resupply of fuel the city would have to shut down electricity generators and water pumps.
五 tankers arrived in Phnom Penh Sunday and Monday after traveling up the Commissariat-threatened Mekong River. The tankers added two weeks' supply to the city's reserves, but the government said it was pessimistic of any more ships making the 80-mile run from the South Vietnamese border.
All major roads to Phnom Penh have been severed for more than three weeks by Khmer Rouge insurgents and their North Vietnamese and Viet Cong allies despite massive U.S. air support for the government forces.
Hag flew to Saigon Tuesday but will return today to Phnom Penh before flying back to the United States. He has made no public statement.
The announcement of the U.S. airlift followed a visit to Cambodia by President Nixon's special emissary, Gen. Alexander Hag Jr., who is on a four-nation tour to assess the general political, military and economic situation in Indochina.

Communist troops to the south of Phnom Penh are within 12 miles of the city and may launch an offensive Friday to mark the Cambodian new year.
U. S. military observers, however, said they thought rebel forces lacked the strength needed for a full-scale assault on the capital.
Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who leads a Cambodian government in exile in Peking, said Monday he had enough arms and weapons to fight with the North Vietnam to go on fighting until 1975.
Sihanouk, who is at least the nominal leader of the rebellion against President Lon Nol's regime in Phnom Penh was overthrown in a bloodless coup in 1970.
Speaking at a banquet in Hanoi to celebrate his return from a month-long visit to rebel-held areas in Cambodia, Shanouk said his arms were delivered before the army's peace agreement. Rebel forces control about 75 per cent of Cambodian territory.
Sihanouk, a former neutralist, said that his army mustered 120,000 men and that its field commanders recognized him as Cambodia's only legal head of state.
Western military allies in Phnom Penh said they believed Sihanouk's figure of 120,000 was greatly exaggerated. They said there were about 40,000 Cambodian rebel forces and 30,000 warlords, there are large numbers of North Vietnam forces and Viet Cong troops in the country.
Lebanese Premier Resigns After Raids
BEIRUT, HURT (AP) – Premier Saeb Salam resigned Tuesday in the aftermath of the Israeli command raids against Palestinian guerrillas in the heart of Lebanon.
Salam submitted the resignation of his government to President Suleiman Franjach after a Cabinet meeting called to discuss the issue, which killed three top guerrilla leaders.
President Franjiéan said he would decide today whether to accept Salam's resignation. Salam has been in and out of the premiership since 1960.
Earlier in the day, Palestinian guerrilla leaders vowed revenge for the commander raids by escalating their war on Israel, an Israeli official said. Middle East targets for terrorist attacks
The Palestine Liberation Organization charged that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency helped carry out the attack and said, "The resolution will continue to pursue the enemy everywhere, inside and outside occupied territory."
A spokesman at the U.S. Embassy denied the charge, and the State Department said in Washington that the charges were utterly without foundation.
But the fact that the guerrillas made the charge raised fears in some quarters that American concerns in the oil-rich Middle East might become targets of the guerrillas.
Arab radio stations denounced the Israel raid and said the United States was implicitly involved.
Security measures around the U.S. Embassy were tightened after about 150 Palestinian students tried to march on the embassy, where cars and personnel carped up there.
Other troops guarded key points here.
Mass funerals were planned for the three sites.
In Tel Aviv, the Israeli chief of staff warned that Israel might lift the Lebanese
Four groups that are of particular interest because of their large activity fee fund allocations are the Athletic Department, which will be cut from its present level of $156,000 to $152,000; the Kansan, from $50,500 to $41,904; the University Theatre, from $27,690 to $26,384; and the Concert Course, from $26,065 to $24,832.

Set Percentage Funds to Decrease
Roger Martin, Lawrence third-year law student and senate treasurer, said Tuesday that the reason the Kansas allocation would be cut by over $8,500 when the other
The Student Senate voted last year to raise the activity fee from $24 to $28 for fiscal year 73. Without renewal by the Senate, the fee will expire at the end of this fiscal year.
Because these organizations are automatically funded to specified levels by the activity fee, they are not required to acquire the Finance and Auditing committee.

"It is impossible to honor the sovereignty of Lebanon and its capital when there is complete freedom for the terrorists, their bases and commands in Lebanese territory," said Lt. Gen. David Elazer, Israeli chief of staff.

House Backs Nixon's Veto Of Water Bill
Because of a projected decrease in enrollment for next year, the Athletic Department, the Daily Kansan and other organizations funded by a set percentage of the student activity fee will receive decreased allocations for fiscal 1974.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House Tuesday sustained President Nixon's veto of the $120 million rural water and sewer fund, which would spend money, appropriated by Congress.
It was the first test in the House this year of Nixon's veto power in the clash over
The House mustered a 252-189 vote that fell 11 votes short of the two-thirds majority.
Voting to override were 200 Democrats and 25 Republicans, while 161 Republicans voted to override.
The veto victory was Nixon's second in a week. The Senate sustained his veto of a bill authorizing a $2.6 billion program for rehabilitation, the bandaged last week.
It takes overriding votes of both chambers of Congress to write a bill into law over the summer.
Speaker Carl Albert, D-Dokla, told the House, "We are dealing, in a sense, with the basic constitutional system of this nation. We are dealing with the authority of the Congress of the United States to make the laws of the land."
Albert said there were many poor communities that could not pay for water and
But the House Republican Policy Committee, led by Rep. John J. Rhodes, R-Ariz., said the action by the House would test Nixon's policy of controlling government spending by eliminating overlapping government services.
In January, Nixon killed a bill that would have provided water and waste-disposal project grants to communities with less than 10,000 persons. Nixon argued his proposal proposed $345 million in rural development loan funds for water supply systems.

The anonymous suggestion regarding the gavel arose because of Hambleton's distinction as the first woman to be elected mayor in the city's history.
Nancy Hambleton, the new mayor of Lawrence, showed no need Tuesday for a suggested pink-flowered gavel award. She said that the law was passed through to the last rap of its first meeting.
In unanimously electing Hambleton, who had previously made history as the first woman commissioner, the commission ordered that the commission select the previous vice mayor to serve as commissioner.
The history-making became a family affair when William W. Hambleton became the first man ever to publicly kiss a mayor of Lawrence. Hambleton, the mayor's academic at the University of Kansas and director of the Kansas Geological Survey.
Commissioner Jack Rose was unanimously elected vice mayor.
Hambleton succeeds John Emick, who was re-elected to the commission April 3. Emick led the old commission through its changeover and attendant ceremonies.
Before stepping down, Erick presented keys to the city to outgoing commissioners J. R. Pulliam and Charles Fisher, citing them for their dedicated service.
Emick and Pallium, who has also served as mayor, received praise for their efforts to solve problems of unrest that had led to the 1979 violence in Lawrence.
Hambleton, Emick and Rose praised Pallium and Fisher at length for their contributions as city commissioners and members of the city-county planning commission.
Rose called 1970 the most traumatic time here since Quantrill's Raid.

Clark, former planning commission chairman, expressed reluctance to place the commissioners in a position where they could erroneously give a developer the
Clark said the area was "marginal land." There are flood problems in the area and a flood study of the area before taking anexation action is desirable, he said.
An appointment to the planning commission to fill the vacancy caused by Clark's election to the city government was also deferred.
Representatives who supported the anexation were not present at the meeting and the commissioners deferred any action rather than rejecting the proposal.
Watson explained that the city had been unable to negotiate purchase of the property
After the conclusion of the commission's business, City Manager Buford Watson offered a resolution calling for condemnation of four tracts of property on Sixth Street immediately west of Massachusetts Street.

Watson also gave a followup report on the 1973 state legislative session.
The new commissioners, Clark and Pence, said after the meeting that the meeting had progressed basically as they had anticipated, and that the only initial problems of familiarization involved them.
