U.S. Seeks Early POW Release
SAIGON (AP)—The United States asked the Communists Wednesday to free the next group of American prisoners as soon as possible, and to move its aid teams to subregional truce sites to deepen major hostilities.
At a meeting of chief delegates of the United States, North and South Vietnam, and the Viet Cong to the Joint Military Commission, the United States must move its Communist side not moving its teams into the field. The United States and South Vietnam teams
were at 24 of the 26 sites, North Vietnam at five and the Viet Cong at none.
Despite this, teams of the International Commission of Control and Supervision began their move to 14 of the subregional sites Wednesday.
The deadline for these sites to be operational, as specified in the Vietnam Protocol, is June 27.
While parties to the Vietnam agreement worked to clean up fighting there, the warring factions in neighboring Laos signed a cease-fire which would take effect at noon
The agreement signed in Vientiane would end 10 years of conflict following breakdown of the 1928 Geneva accord designed in its time to bring peace to $2\frac{1}{2}$ million Laotians.
Senate OKs Extension Of Property Tax Lid
TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Senate voted 35- Wednesday to approve a bill extending the state's property tax law lid and increasing the budget lid federal governments.
TOPPKA (AP)—A committee of the Kansas House heard pleas Wednesday from various representatives for the addition of corridors to the Kansas freeway system.
The bill, which now goes to the House, continues to prohibit local governments from increasing tax levies from year to year but allows cities and counties to increase their budgets by more than 5 per cent a year without a vote of the people. The present tax lid law, first enacted in 1970, requires this vote.
In Washington, Secretary of State William P. Rogers halted the agreement in Laos as an important move towards over-all peace in Indochina.
State highway officials estimated that it would cost $250 million to construct these roads.
Tuesday local time, which is 1:00 a.m.
Lawrence time Thursday.
Expanded Freeway Supported in House
At the current rates of financing, including the issuance of $320 million in bonds, it will be several years before the completed freeway system could be completed.
The five corridors would add 315 miles to the way already designated as the freeway system.
The tax lid bill approved by the Senate also contains a provision giving authority to vote a local sales tax increase of up to 1 per cent, with the source of revenue for cities and counties.
The Kansas House voted on a major issue Wednesday, giving tentative approval to a bill in which the state would take over full administration and funding of the welfare program. The measure is principally easy 76-33 preliminary approval on a roll call vote following debate.
The bill, which comes up for a final vote Thursday, met opposition from largely rural legislators who said it was full of "indeguacies and confusion."
Rep. E. Claycomb, R-Scott City, said the
committee recommended "the 'no'
and should be returned to committees.
Rep. John Peterson, R-Topema, chief proponent of the welfare bill during debate, denied accusations that there had been any attempt to ram the measure through.
Peterson said a House committee worked five days on the bill, and he called upon House members to pass the measure, which abolish county tax levies for social welfare.
Gov. Robert Docking has recommended that the state take over the welfare system, which would remove the $18 million a year burden from the county tax roll in a trade agreement with the government. Valorem property tax reduction fund which will pay counties nearly $20 this year.
In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he also pledged that the Nixon administration would not commit to further support of the program without support from Congress.
Rogers said the cease-fire in Laos should help in getting a full account of all U.S. prisoners held there and arranging for their release.
North Vietnamese delegation, said the subcommission would meet again Thursday and that there could be word from the Communist side then.
North Vietnam and the Viet Cong freed 143 American military and civilian personnel Feb. 12 in the first of four scheduled releases. Another 20 Americans were released Feb. 18 in North Vietnam in advance of the second scheduled batch as a goodwill gesture after the visit of Henry A. Kissinger to Hanoi Feb. 10-14.
At a meeting of the subcommission on captured persons in Saigon the United States proposed that the second installment of about 140 U.S. prisoners of war be released in North and South Vietnam before next Tuesday's deadline.
Bul Tin, the chief spokesman for the
The Communist side now holds 422 U.S. military and civilian personnel in North and South Carolina.
Seven thousand Communist POWs and, 1,000 Sanction troops are scheduled to be released in the second phase of Vietnamese exchanges, the same numbers that were exchanged in the first group, which took more than a week to complete.
U. S. sources reported that the Communist side claimed that lack of security and of suitable accommodations were the reasons behind the attack, keeping representatives to the field sites.
California Coastal Towns Damaged by Earthquake
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A rolling earthquake shook the southern California coast Wednesday morning, cracking plaster, building blocks and several fires and inflicting property damage.
The structural damage, mainly to older buildings, was heaviest in Oxnard, a coastal city of 70,000 persons, 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Estimates by the State Office of Emergency Preparedness placed damage there at up to $1 million, mostly in cracked walls, broken windows and collapsed roofs.
Several minor injuries were reported.
California Institute of Technology seismologists measured the intensity of the quake at roughly 5.75 on the Richter scale and measured it in the ocean off PL Muu, near Oxnard.
Jolting sleeping residents at 6:44 a.m. and lasting about 20 seconds, the quake recalled
the 6.5 trembler of Feb. 9, 1971, in which 64 persons died. That quake, centered in the San Fernande Valley north of Los Angeles struck at 6:01 a.m.
"It felt like the end of the world," said Richard Rodriguez, 32, manager of a Mayfair market in Oxnard, who estimated damage to the store at $10,000.
Residents from Santa Barbara on the north and San Diego to the south said they felt the jolt, and shocks were noticed as far inland as San Bernardo.
Three rock slides were reported in Ventura County and one blocked all lanes of the Pacific Coast Highway for a time but the way was open to traffic again by 8:30 a.m.
The quake occurred along the Malibu
coastal fault, reported the state Division of
Military Affairs.
Authorities at the Naval Air Missile Test Center in Pt. Mgu said there were no signs of explosive activity.
THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN BUSINESS FAILS TO MAKE A PROFIT.
Myth
it's fashionable to criticize business profits. Some want government controls on the amount of profit a company can earn. Others want the government to confiscate what they call excess profits. And so it goes. The right of business to profit is continually being attacked—often without supporting facts.
Fact
If your company fails to make a profit, you will eventually lose your job. You may also lose it if your company doesn't make enough money to expand. But, without profits, you don't have a job. Not someone else. You.
