President Withdraws Nomination of Gray
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.(AP)—President Nixon announced Thursday he was withdrawing the nomination of L. Patrick Gray III to be director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He said he acted at Gray's request.
In a statement, Nixon said:
"I fairness to Mr. Gray, and out of my overriding concern for the effective conduct of the vitally important business of the FBI, I am deeply relieved to withdraw Mr. Gray's nomination."
Nixon, who did not know he who he would name to succeed Gray as head of the FBI, did declare that he has asked Gray to take the directive director until a nominee was confirmed.
The President said, after talking to Gray by telephone for five minutes, "It is obvious that Mr. Gray's nomination will not be confirmed by the Senate."
To bolster this contention, Nixon cited, without elaboration, action Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had been handling the matter.
The committee earlier Thursday agreed to a showdown vote next week on the nomination after Democrats moved to postpone action indefinitely.
In his statement, Nixon described Gray as "an able, honest and dedicated American" who had been exposed to "totally unfair innuendo and suspicion" because he had been a House counsel John Doe III in making public FBI reports on the Watergate conspiracy.
Nixon said Gray's "compliance with this completely proper and necessary request" caused the immuno and suspicion "and thereby seriously tarnished his fine record as acting director and promising future at the barrae."
In Washington Gray had announced that he had asked that his nomination be withdrawn shortly before Nixon made his formal announcement.

Senate Approves Disallowance Bill
TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Senate voted 25-15 Thursday in favor of the corporate disallowance bill that the leadership and Gov. Robert Docking said was necessary to fund the fiscal 1974 budget and the Army Corps of Engineers. The measure was sent to the governor.
Sen. J. C. Tillotson, R-Norton, a foe of disallowance, cast the 21st vote which put it over, and four more senators behind him in the alphabetical roll call also voted for it.
Although a large number of senators, both Republicans and Democrats, voiced their displeasure with continuing the added tax on corporations and financial institutions first enacted last year, on the final roll call Tuesday, more than four more votes than needed for passage.
Under disallowance, Kansas corporations and financial institutions will not again be permitted to deduct the federal taxes they pay from their state income tax returns.
Fourteen Republicans and 11 Democrats voted for disallowance, and 13 Republicans voted against it.
The measure, which raises about $25 million annually in state revenue, is responsible for the largest deficit since 1980.

new programs could win Docking's approval.
Bennett said disalliance remains distasteful to him because he regards it as a tax increase on corporations and not tax reform, as Ducking likes to call it. He said the issue was one of how hard the way work the this session to achieve broad-based tax relief and enact needed
Docking issued a brief statement, saying: "Today, with legislative approval of the corporate disallowance, we are assured there will be no tax increase for the individual taxpayers. The people have won a major victory."
"I can't get over how much glee his excellence Docking must be getting over what I'm doing here this afternoon. However, if I have his pound of flesh, I'm willing to do it."
As he led the fight against the amendments, Bennett quipped:
Senate President Robert Bennett, RP Prairie Village, told the Senate in carrying the bill Thursday in two hours of floor debate that the measure would enable this legislative session to pass a program that would increase worth of property tax relief to Kansans.

programs.
Bennett also led the effort against two attempts to amend the bill on the floor, saying Docking insisted the bill be changed. He was or the program would be in leopardy.
"I have received the governor's word that these bills will be signed and become law if they are funded by the corporate entity. I have modified, no adjustments, and no amendments, and although modifications, adjustments and amendments have been discussed and tendered, they have been approved and reviewed with an approval of some of these programs."
Docking had insisted the measure be sent to him before he would sign a package of new legislative programs including school finance, increased junior college aid and
Kleindient said that Kleindient was deeply disappointed by what he called the attack.
"He (Gray) is one of the most loyal Americans I know." Kleindienst said. "He was an excellent choice to be permanent director and should have been confirmed."
The spokesman said Gray telephoned Kliendienst and told him of his decision about an hour before he issued his statement.
Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W. Va., forced the issue at a hastily called afternoon meeting by moving to postpone action indefinitely—a motion tantamount to killing it.
Others have accused Gray of making speeches of a political nature during last fall's election campaign. Gray denied this, and an investigation with his job termination the FBI.
"I have asked the President to withdraw my nomination for the position of director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Gray said in a brief statement.
Gray, who has headed FBI since the death of J. Edgar Hoover last May, has become entangled in the controversy over the bugging of Democratic national headquarters in the Watergate office-apartment complex.
Republican leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania invoked a committee rule allowing any member to delay a vote for a week. However, Byrd said agreement was reached on Tuesday unless someone objected to a meeting before Thursday.
Gray's statement was released by a FBI spokesman.
Sen. Roman Hruska, R-Neb., made a substitute motion to postpone a vote on Gray's nomination until after completion of his state's investigation of the Watergate affair.
"The basis for this decision is my deep conviction that the FBI, a great and unique American institution of vital service to the President and the American people, is entitled to permanent leadership at the earliest possible time."
Senators have criticized Gray for turning over FBI reports of the investigation of the kidnapping.
Byrd interpreted this as an admission by supporters of Gray's nomination, made on Feb. 21 by President Nixon, that they do not command a majority within the committee.
Earlier Thursday, the Senate Judiciary committee agreed to a showdown note next week.
The committee has appeared closely divided on Gray. Its hearings on his testimony will be held Wednesday.
Finance Committee Questions BSU Co-op
Bv DWIGHT DEAY
Kansan Staff Writer
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee told representatives of the Black Student Union Thursday night that the SBU would need to furnish additional information to the committee to justify line items in its funding request of $17,125.
Roger Martin, law student and past senate treasurer, questioned a food program request of $850 because it included chicken that will be to be spent on a food cooperative project.
Martin said that for the past several years food cooperatives had been disastrous failures and that some type of plan must be required to prove that it could function next year.
Gilbert "Mickey" Dean, Sandersville, Ga., junior and BSU chairman, and Sue Williams, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student and BSU finance chairman, told the team that they were currently completing a plan for the cooperative and entire food program.
Dean said that the BSU bosed to make the food cooperative self-sustaining and blamed the past failures on the attitude of the Student Senate.
"Most of our problems were caused by the Student Senate's effort to destroy the cooperative. They didn't want to fund it in the face, and they tied up the funds," Dean said.
The food program of which the cooperative is a part is a BSU charity agency which supplies the black Lawrence Food and Services, according to Williams.
Williams said that a hot food program and annual picnic were examples of the work the BSU provided for needy children in the community.
The cooperative, which expects donations from sources other than the senate, buys such food items as eggs, meat and canned food. Williams said.
Another BSU request, which was for a $100 a month salary for the Community College of New York.

Mike Steinmetz
Graduate Student Named To Student Treasurer Job
By JOHN PIKE Kansan Staff Writer
Before graduate school, Steinmetz worked for Mobil Oil as an accounting analyst and as a banking coordinator for seven banks across the country.
Mike Steinmetz, Lawrence graduate student, was appointed new treasurer of the Student Senate Tuesday.
Steinmetz graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in economics. He is now studying the M.B.A. (masters of business administration) program at KU.
"I feel the job of treasurer calls for a person that does not have political ambitions," he said. "I am interested in doing a good job as treasurer and that is all."
Steinmetz said that from an administrative standpoint, he thought he could do a good job as senate treasurer.
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee will review the funding requests of the Student Senate.
Most of the groups requesting funds over the three-day period are groups that raise large amounts of money.
Many of these groups existed in a disorganized state during the year, and senate records records show that several of them were none of their allocations by late February.
Members of the Graduate Association of the American Studies Society, for example, were unaware that they had received a questionnaire. The contact was contacted by a Kansan reporter Feb. 16.
When the reporter contacted the president of the organization to ask why it had not spent any of its $65 allocation, the president, Doma Schafer, Wichita graduate student, said she had never been notified by her group that her group had received funding.
She said she had contacted the senate after the budget was released and had been told that there was no record of an allocation to her group.
The organization continued to function actively on American Studies departmental funds. Schafer said she would try to reimburse the department now that she was aware that her group had received senate funding.
The organization has requested $120.45 for next year.
The Graduate School Council, on an allocation of $229, had spent £27.23 by Feb. 27. A reporter was unable to contact anyone in the organization and was told by the Office of Student Affairs that perhaps the organization did not exist.
The Follardness Club, which has asked for $20 for next year, had spent none of their prizes on a tour to the officers of the club indicated that membership was approximately 50, a large number.
The KU Handball Club had not spent any of its current $520 allocated by Feb. 25. The club's faculty adviser, Peter Casagrande, associate professor of English, said that a tournament for $100 had been had but had not been audited, although the clubship opened to hold teams. The Handball Club has requested $450 for next year.
The American Studies Undergraduate Association, allocated $50 for this year, had spent none of its funds by late February. The group's faculty adviser, Geoffrey Steere, associate professor of American Studies, told a Kansas reporter, "We don't have any training or organization or club; it's a department of the University, like English or History."
When a Kansan reporter investigated the Amateur Radio Club, he found that the club was not of school because of ill health, the transmitter was much money the club had, and the secretary didn't know how many members had had because dues didn't been collected.
The radio logs kept by the club indicated that about nine people used the station.
The club received $456 this fiscal year and an additional $380 for purchase of more equipment. By February, $426.58 had been spent.
The club's roster, filed in spring 1972 with the fund request, listed 29 members. The roster includes
The Architecture School Council, which received 2211 this year, has awarded $8,704
maintenance work on the equipment said three persons used the station regularly and had no problems.
The KU Bands have asked for $11,227.65 for next year. The bands received $2,943 this year, and by February had spent $104.57. The Haymayer, formerly the Oread Daily, has requested of the largest increases in senate funding.
The KU Concert Course series has requested $30,065 for next year, the same amount for 2017.
The Haymayer received $2,330 this year,
$696.57 of which had been spent by the end of
February, but has requested $15,213 for next
year. The Haymayer received $1,090 for an
Associated Press membership.
Curriculum and Instruction Survey requested $26,120 for next year. The organization received $25,830 this year, of which had been spent by February.
