News Briefs By the Associated Press Dollar Crisis
BRUSSELS-Common Market finance ministers decided Sunday night to close their money exchanges all week and call a meeting of major trading nations in Paris to plan a solution of the monetary crisis. Closing foreign exchanges took the pressure off of European central banks that were forced to support the dollar last week by buying up billions at the newly devalued rate.

Urban Act
WASHINGTON—President Nixon Sunday urged enactment of a $2.3 billion Better Communities Act to replace urban programs that, he said, had failed in. He was previewing a special message to Congress on the issue of revamping Nixon said that his proposed special revenue-sharing measure would have no strings attached as long as it was used for community development. Local leaders who opposed the measure were spending it if they liked, but they would also be free to work out better plans without to get Washington's approval.
Gaullists Fall
PARIS-French voters apparently brought an end Sunday to the era of absolute Gaullist rule over parliament in the first national election since the death of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. But a Communist-Socialist drive to capture a majority in the parliament has been a key factor in its mark. Gaullist forces fared badly in the percentage of total votes and in the number of deputies elected in the first round of voting for 490 places in the assembly.

WILLIAM H. SPENCER CANDIDATE FOR CITY COMMISSION
REVENUE SHARING
1) Will revenue sharing mean an increase in available monies in light of concurrent cutbacks in federal programs?
2) In any case how does Lawrence decide on its allocation?
3) Lawrence needs an ongoing workable program of priorities in services and improvements to make an intelligent decision
Comments on:
4) The city staff must identify the needed and desired services and improvements and make the necessary changes to citizen to citizenship and administration.
5) Based on a knowledgeable dialogue between citizen, staff, and commission a fiscally responsible, continuing program can be developed to allocate any monies received in the future.
CLINTON LAKE
1) A public recreation area, such as Clinton Lake, should be open to all people for enjoyment of all types of recreational interests, including fishing, swimming, and passive (hiking, pinchick) ones.
2) As Lawrence will bear much on the burden associated with Clinton Lake, it must be planned with our city's interest at heart.
3) Lawrence might wish to consider a separate point-of-access for boat launching for Douglas County citizens only.
4) The value of a recreational area lies in its ability to refresh its visitors.
5) Lawrence can assure this through responsible zoning, regulation and encouragement of public well as public development.
REPRESENTATION
1) Lawrence citizens do not feel adequately represented.
2) Area representation is not the answer.
a) At a time when we are trying to work more closely together, it would tend to divide the citizens of Lawrence.
b) Certain groups might have less voice than otherwise, as the chance of gerrymandering always exists.
c) As the Lawrence community continues to grow, it would be constantly forced to re-define those areas.
3) The answer to representation lies in open night meetings and in assuring that citizens are informed of the facts. Then they can intelligence agencies, rather than they are being represented as officials to be by their elected officials.
Paid for by the Committee to Elect Wm. H. Spencer, Lee Solter, secretary.
