Responsiveness Remains Key Commission Issue
By CHUCK POTTER Kansan Staff Writer
Almost a month has passed since the City Commission primary election eliminated eight candidates from contention, but the issue that will decide the outcome of Tuesday's general election remains the responsibility of city government.
Four of the six remaining candidates—Barkley Clark, John Harralick, Fred Pence and William Lemesay—have urged that the commission open more lines of communication with Lawrence citizens. All three have said that mission missions too much behind closed doors.
The issue of responsiveness touches every matter of concern to law enforcement in India.
The two incumbent commissioners who are running for re-election—John Emick and J. Pellium–have generally resumed the current commission as open and responsive.
Clark has suggested using the money to support Ballard Center and other human resources programs and to upgrade the salaries of firemen and policemen.
Disposal of the $444,444 Lawrence has received from the federal government in revenue sharing funds will present a major opportunity for the commission to demonstrate how responsive it is. Also, lawyers have requested a portion of the money
Emick has maintained that the number one priority should be construction of a fire alarm system.
Harachel has itemized distribution of the money as follows: 15-20 per cent, tax relief; 20 per cent, vocational and career educational programs; 25 per cent, transportation; 15 per cent, recreation; 20-25 per cent, unassumed.
Lemessan has suggested using the money to relieve tax burdens and also to construct a new road.
According to Pence, the money could be used by the commission to show responsiveness by forming citizens' committees to help decide how to use the funds.
Pulliam has advocated using the funds to help relieve tax burdens.
Whatever the views of the candidates on revenue sharing, the issue has been brought
out by consistent requests and suggestions about the money.
The problem of obtaining effective long-range planning and zoning from the community is a particularly pressing concern. Rather, a mood of quiet unrest has persisted. According to some, a lack of long-range planning is responsible for the development of strip zoning, such as that on
Emick and Pallium have both said that the "23rd Street mistake" could not and would not be repeated. Both have spoken of ineffective ordinances and poor planning 15 years ago as the reason for 23rd Street's appearance.
Clark has suggested redrafting and modernizing Lawrence's zoning regulations and encouraging developers to get together and plan developments, as units.
Hairalick has said that planners, land developers and conservationists as well as concerned citizens should have a voice in civilizations'ifications of subdivision regulations.
Lemenas has said, as have Pulllam and Enmic, that he did not think another 23rd Street could occur because the city planned more carefully now.
Pence has stated that "a lot of common
sense should go into city planning and zoning" and has asked several times "where Lawrence's comprehensive plan is" and "why it is not being followed?"
The candidates sharply disagree about some key issues of the election. Pence and Hararikal have strongly supported pay parity for firemen and policemen in Lawrence, Emick, Clark and Pollard have said that parity between the groups is not as important as whether the men are paid a decent living wage. Lemesany has supported raising the salaries of both groups to coincide with comparative salaries in other cities.
The candidates view Tuesday's election in different manners.
Emick and Pallium have said that they hoped citizens would consider their past records and vote for them to show satisfaction with the current commission
Lemessey said he thought a large turnout of voters would result in his election and a victory.
Pence said responsiveness was the key issue in the election and that all of the candidates had built their campaigns around that.

Thieu, Nixon Ready For Summit Talks
LOS ANGELES (AP) - South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thai arrived from Saigon Sunday for summit talks with the UN General Assembly, lasting last-minute briefings in San Claremont.
"I came to say thanks to the American people. 'Thou said after his jetherin land in the Valley.'"
The nose of the plane carried a slogan in Vietnamese and English: "Cooperation in Peace."
Several hundred onlookers, mostly Vietnamese students, carried signs reading "Peace in Freedom—not Communism." Many stood behind a restraining fence and
Reports of Torture Are Denied by Hanoi
WASHINGTON (AP)—Reports from returning prisoners of war of torture and mistreatment by the North Vietnamese have stirred new attacks in Congress, with North Vietnam and have brought new denials from Hanoi that POWs were mistreated.
North Vietnam claimed Sunday that it had treated its American prisoners of war well and that returning prisoners' torture stories had been drummed up to deflect attention from alleged U.S. crimes in Vietnam.
The official Communist party newspaper Nan Dan quoted statements from U.S. officials at the time the first U.S. prisoners were released in 1945, and in good republic and physical condition.
No matter what the prisoners say now, the paper said, "the humanitarian policy" of North Vietnam's government toward captured U.S. military personnel "has been welcomed by the whole of progressive mankind."
The Nhan Dan commentary, broadcast by
Richardson's comments came in response to questions on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Richardson Says Viet Bombing Is Possibility
WASHINGTON (AP)—Bombing of North Vietnam and mining the Haiphong harbor again are "among the kinds of things that could be done" if North Vietnam violates the ceasefire agreement, Secretary of Defense Elliot L. Richardson said Sunday.
The secretary had first said "I wouldn't want to speculate" on what action President Nixon might order in an effort to off the arms and supplies reportedly being sent to North Vietnamese soldiers in South Vietnam.
Thieu also set aside Sunday evening for conferences with his advisers at a Los Angeles hotel, where he is making his headquarters.
In advance of the start of the summit talks, Nixon conferred Sunday with Henry Kissinger.
Board Race Lacks Heated Issues
A group of demonstrators led by activist Tom Hayden and his wife, actress Jane Fonda, plan to march to the gate of the museum where she was being the same time. Touhe arrives by helicopter.
President Nixon has said he planned to ask Congress for aid to North Vietnam as an investment for peace. And, senate members said Monday that Montana said this weekend that torture stories that had been reported had not changed his own position that aid to Hanoi would help ensure peace. But, he added, he hoped the changes will have on getting and through Congress.
The demonstrators oppose further U.S. aid to Thieu and his Saigon government, but sources said Nixon was ready to assure them that the U.S. would not economic support in the post-caste fire era.
the official Vietnam News Agency, declared, "The pilots of U.S. pirate planes who bombed during the last eight years were criminals. However, in keeping with their humanitarian policy and for the sake of their friendship with the American government and the Vietnamese people treated them well. This truth no one could deny."
Thieu is to be greeted with full military honors when he arrives in San Clemente at mid-morning Monday for his first face-to-face meeting with Nixon in nearly four years.
Tiuhe also will reportedly seek a specific guarantees from Nixon that the United States will intervene militarily, if North Korea violently violates the cease fire agreement.

The race between six candidates for positions on the board of education of Lawrence School District 497 is not full of heated issues but should be closely contended. In the primary the four top candidates were separated by a range of only 147 votes.
By MARGIE COOK
The four, in order of the primary votes, were Dr. Helen Gilles, 1301 Iowa St., Dr. William Bradley, RR 2; Gary Conrady, 951 Wisconsin Ave.; and Robert Lawrence艾. All candidates, including Ana Berger, 1518 Cadet Ave., and Robert Anmel, 1716 Brook St., who ran fifth and sixth in the primary, said Sunday that the three candidates were minor on major issues.
The two factions exchanged angry words, but a police cordon kept the groups at least 30m.
"Even before this it looked difficult," Mansfield said. Rep. Joel T. Browhill, RVA-, said the stories "convince me that not a cent of American aid money should be spent on rehabilitating a country that is apparently run by savages."
The words came after the friendly forces, trooping back to their waiting chartered buses, suddenly spotted the anti-Thien-
glas attackers who marched opposed to the war, a spokesman said.
Thieu apparently never saw a group of about 50 anti-Theu demonstrators, who remained out of sight of the arriving party and in the eye of more than 100 policemen.

Bradley said that there were not many issues to decide Tuesday's elections and that he thought the decision would come from popularity and advertising. He said his stands on issues should be known because he was board president and had served on the board since unification in 1966.
Condra said that the primary results had showed him he was a contending candidate and that he was now working in the areas where he beled the poorest. He is the only one of the top four primary candidates who is not a current board member.
Anumel said the main 'school board problem was the method of educating. He said he wanted to make changes in the methods to give children a "foundation."
CONDRA SAID HIS Background of work within the schools would help the board.
Hafield said he hoped voters would consider how much better the school system was now than it was four years ago. He said the three board members running for reelection had a headstart in working on current programs.

Fishing
Perhaps the more water there is, the greater chance a fisherman has of catching something. Heavy rains that fell during the past few weeks have caused the
normally docile Kansas River to deepen, widen and develop strong currents. The sandbar beside the river where this fisherman sat disappeared under water and then jumped into the dam that runs under the bridge near 6th and Massachusetts streets.
Bovcott Menu Cuts Meat

Sunday dinner meant things like macaroni, tuna fish or maybe vegetable casseroles for thousands of American families who joined the start of a week-long meat boycott aimed at cutting rising food prices.
The boycott went on despite a newly imposed price ceiling on beef, pork and

The price ceiling took effect Thursday; enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service begins today; and retaliators must be arrested. The rule involves only processors, wholesalers and
Many consumers said President Nixon's action to limit the cost of these items didn't help.
