Med Center Builders Approved
TOPEKA (AP) — William Rieke, vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center, said Thursday his advice was not sought on the appointment of architects for a $44 million expansion of the university building, which he with the firm now working on the project.
Rieke appeared before the Senate Ways and Means Committee seeking a $286,000 appropriation to continue medical programs which have lost federal funds in the current hurricane. The committee gave no indication whether the state funds might be available.
After discussing the request, Rieke also answered questions from Ses. Wint Winter, O-Rotaime, on the controversy surrounding the award of a $44 million contract for expansion of the medical center by state authority. She said, again, an appointee of Gov. Robert Docking.
Several Republican senators have charged that McLain awarded the contract to a firm that includes McLain's former partner of 19 years and that the contract was awarded to a firm that did not legally exist in Kansas until three weeks later.
Sen. Ress Doyen, R-Concordia, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said earlier this week McLain had given the contract to the architectural firm of Marshall and Brown - Sidorowicz, Associated, on June 7, 1972.
Doyen said he thought his committee would reject McLain's reappointment confirmation because of the alleged improprieties in awarding the contract.
Erike told the committee he had found Kivett and Myers, a firm which did $96,000 worth of preliminary architectural work on the project, satisfactory in every respect. However, when award of the contract was under consideration by McLain, who is

TOPEKA—The Kansas House passed and sent back to the Senate Thursday bills that would provide general fund financing to cut down on the revenue bonds required for an expansion and modernization of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
House OKs Med Center Funds
The bills for funding of the Medical Center surried considerable debate but went back to Congress in 1987.
changes, which were relatively minor, on votes of 113-6 and 107-14.
The total cost of the Medical Center project has been placed at about $23 million and is to be financed by revenue bonds and a national funder from federal and state general funds.
The project is designed to provide facilities which officials said would increase the number of employees.
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Senate, convening in a rare morning session today, is being asked to vote on the controversial corporate disallowance bill. The bill is considered a key to the present logjam of action in the Kansas Legislature.
Visiting Prof Proposes Buying Pollution Rights
Crude said, though, that these agencies were not enough to save the environment. What is also needed is "an institutionalized process for policy and legislation is carried out." Crude said.
If a corporation had to buy the right to pollute, there would probably be a lot less pollution, according to Charles F. Crudde, the author of "The Science of Pollution" and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
A problem that exists with establishing regulatory agencies is that they often "become captive of the group that they were set up to regulate." Cnudde said.
"Too many people don't speak out," he said.
State Senate Asked to Vote OnDisallowance
"This is a frequent pattern in the United States."
Crude said that people don't speak out because they must be sure that the corporation doing the polluting will not retaliate.
Speaking Thursday night in the Kansas Union, Cruded suggested having "something like stock that would give a company the rights to pollute" as a means of reducing pollution. Cruded said that if the environment was still too polluted, the sale could be held back until conditions making more shares available.
Crude said that people needed to complain to get action taken.
Crude said that this occurred because of the economic and political power of large corporate groups.
As another control to pollution, Crude suggested "what Ralph Nader calls whistle blowers." Crude explained that a whistle blower was a person who refused to watch the environment being destroyed and does nothing about it.
Sen. Norman Gaar, R-Westwood, renewed Thursday his notice that he would ask for a suspension of the Senate's rules to measure to debate and a final call vote.
To succeed in bypassing the Senate leadership's control of the debate calendar, Gaar's motion must receive a majority vote of at least 21 senators, and a caucus of Republicans Wednesday made it appear doubtful that that number can be mustered.
The establishing of public, independent authorities to control corporations is also needed, according to Crudde. He proposed setting up these agencies to have a director or a board of directors which would be responsible to the state.
regulatory agencies were often not well enough organized and that this also worked against them.
Senate President Robert Bennett, Prarie Prairie Gov., said a majority of the GOP caucus agreed that hasty action on the disallowance bill could upset current negotiations between Republican leaders and Democratic Gov. Robert Docking about new state programs and funding of the 1974 budget.

"We're going to change the rules," Connally said.
He said that in the past he had told internationalists that the United States would change the rules unilaterally if other countries wouldn't cooperate.
In addition to changes in trade agreements, a reduction of U.S. military commitments and changes in American defense policies are necessary operations are required, Connally said.
The United States now spends about nine per cent of its Gross National Product (GNP) on defense purchases, Connally said. The other nation spent one half of that amount.
Antitrust laws affecting companies in the export business also must be changed, Connally said. Individual domestic companies are not facing individual foreign companies but are dealing with foreign governments, he said. Exporting companies need to be excluded from antitrust
restrictions he said, to be powerful enough
to prevent firms from gaining a monopolistic
advantage.

To meet this crisis, Connally said, the proposed oil pipeline to Alaska needs to be completed immediately. Research also is needed to find ways of using the energy available from coal reserves, oil shell deposits and nuclear material, he said.

The difficulties aren't insurmountable but the solution will require trade-offs between what is ecologically desirable and what is economically feasible, he said.
For example, he said, the energy shortage may require the use of low-grade, high sulphur content oil and the increased use of nuclear fuels in some instances.
Connally said that he had faith in American business and that if business got the required government backing he was in good shape. He also noted the economic problems facing the country.
