Bingo Amendment Fizzles
TOPEKA (AP)—Kansas voters will have a chance to decide whether to legalize bingo in the state's Constitution in municipal elections on April 3.
An effort to push through a resolution calling for such a vote died in the Senate Thursday afternoon, and its main sponsor said he would make no more attempts to get the resolution out in time for the municipal elections.
An emergency motion for consideration of the bingo-only constitutional amendment failed in the Senate when votes needed to override it, two-thirds majority, failed to materialize.
The vote on the motion introduced by Sen. Jack Steiner, D-Dallas City, minority leader, was 22 to 18, five votes short of the 27 needed for a two-thirds majority, and four votes short of the total Wednesday night. The emergency motion was proposed by Steiner.
Even bring in Sen. James Francisco, D-Mulvane, from a hospital where he has been confirmed with pneumonia didn't help. Francisco walked into the Senate chamber after being brought by car to the statehouse from the hospital.
The reason for the collapse of Steinerge's last-ditch bid to get the issue on the April 3 ballot was the switching of votes by six Republicans. Wednesday supported Steinerge's motion.
Sen. Ed Reilly, R-Laenworth, who earlier this session had tried to muster the 27 votes for a bingo amendment, had correctly predicted Wednesday that the Republican-controlled leadership would block Steinerne's effort.

The proposal came in an executive order issued under *new* Executive Article approved by state voters last fall.

Investigation
WASHINGTON—The National Congress of American Indians asked President Nixon Thursday to send an investigator to South Dakota to investigate the killing of an Indian by a white man.

Indian Caravan Halted; National Guard Ready
CUSTER, S.D. (AP)—Gov. Richard Kneip ordered an unit of the South Dakota National Guard into the Custer area Thursday, a few hours after a 13-car caravan of American Indian Movement members turned back about 20 miles north of here,
Knipel, who placed the National Guard on alert Tuesday after a bloody battle between about 50 policemen and 200 Indians in downtown Custer, said he had ordered the unit into three undisclosed areas near this southern Black Hills community.
"I also have other Guard units on alert and assembled at Camp Rapid at Rapid City in case they are needed," the governor said.
The Indians were going from Rapid City to Custer when they burned trees back here. They did not have the money.
Dennis Banks of Minneapolis, national
administrator, AM, said the Indians were
in Custer.
"For every rifle on the street pointed at
an Indian,'] Banks said, 'I'm going to have 10 rifles and a white man. Our people are the best.'
Wait, is it "10 rifles" or "10 rifles and a white man"? It looks like "10 rifles and a white man".
Let me re-read the image.

Yes, it's "10 rifles and a white man".
of the 36 Indians arrested during Tuesday's battle, 26 were charged Thursday with riot and arson. The mulee left at least eight persons injured and three buildings, including the court house, burned.
Banks, who was among the estimated 200 Indians involved in the battle, returned to Custer State University in court, was charged with riot and two counts of arson and was released on $3,500 bond. Russell Means, another national AIM leader, is free on the same ground.
Tuesday's confrontation followed a request by AIM leaders that authorities stiffen the charge against Dard Schmitz, 30 of Buffalo Gap, who is charged with second-degree manslaughter. AIM members said the case was a murder. The request was denied and the Indians tried to storm the county courthouse.
Death Count Reaches 7 In Navy Plane Crash
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)—Soot-stained and weary searchers removed by late Thursday a total of seven charred corpses from the ruins of an apartment building destroyed in the crash of a navy jet, but seams leaked the death toll would go higher.
As many as 20 bodies may be found in the demolished Tahoe Apartments, Fire Chief Ernest Servente said. He had estimated earlier that as many as 40 may have died. Estimates of the number of people who were killed at least 37 to 50. At least 18 persons were injured.
A Red Cross count listed 10 persons unaccounted for so far, but police would not comment as they searched public utility records to compile a missing persons list.
The A7 Corsair attack plane clipped one apartment building Wednesday night and then plunged through the roof of the four-story 28-unit Tahoe Apartments.
The Tahoe building, at 1814 Central Ave. collapsed in flames and two adjacent buildings.
Dissaster crews, unable to enter the burning water supply for hours, continued to pour debris.
Lt. Robert Lee Ward, 28, of Carry, N.C., the plane's only occupant, was flying at 28,000 feet on a short "round robin" training flight from Lemoore Naval Air Station New Fresno, Calif., when his craft crashed on this residential island on San Francisco
Navy Cmdr, William Collins, public affairs officer with the Pacific Fleet, said investigators were certain Ward did not elect before the crash.
Epwesettess reported seeing only a very few occupants escape the building before it exploded, sending flames and smoke several hundred feet into the night sky.
"I heard screening coming from inside the building," said Wayne Cook, 29. "It got loud."
Fiery debris and jet fuel spread the
flames to two adjacent apartment buildings, where at least 17 persons were reported injured with burns and injuries.

Hughes said that Weinberger, as director of the Office of Management and Budget, fashioned the 1974 federal budget which "represents an abandonment of our efforts to help those least able to help themselves—our children, our aged, our sick."

The issues the amendment has raised, however, have been complex and often complicated.
Mentana State Sen. John K. McDonald, an opponent of the measure, argued during a hearing by the state attorney general on Tuesday.
They won support from eight fellow Democrats, including three members of the Labor Committee which last Friday sharply cut Weinberger about the budget cutbacks.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)—An effort by Democrats to make a symbolic protest against President Nixon's budget failed badly in the Senate Thursday as Casper Weinberger won confirmation as secretary of State and well with only 10 dissenting votes.
Sen. Harold Hughes, D-Iowa, and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., delivered lengthy floor speeches praising Weinbler's ability but criticizing his role in making the sharp budget cuts in domestic programs.
About half a dozen states have rejected the proposal, which is pending in the rest. The language of the proposed amendment is simple: "Equality of rights under the
