House to Consider Open Primaries
TOPEKA (AF)—AHP to do away with voter registration lists and to provide for an open primary election was among new measures introduced in the Kansas House
The Senate received a bill to provide the financing for a medical education and clinical facility at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.
The bill introduced in the House by Rep. Ruth Luzzi, D-Wichita, would eliminate voter registration lists and provide for open primaries.
With an open primary, a voter could request a runoff if they did not accept the primary election,
regardless of how he might have voted in previous primaries.
The bill for financing the medical center expansion was introduced by the Senate Ways and Means Committee. It would appropriate $28 million from the state budget to support the Board of Regents to issue $22 million in bonds to pay for the expansion.
Senator Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, chairman of the committee, said he supported the proposal, in favor of a measure passed by the legislature last year which would have allowed the regents to issue 844 million in bonds to finance the project.
"If we're going to do it, I think this is the right thing." Doyen said.
Gov. Robert Docking proposed spending the $23 million now to expand the medical center, saying that over the term of the $64 billion budget, he would pay out $77 million extra in interest.
Other bills introduced in the Senate would;
—Require the owner or operator of certain irrigation systems to place and maintain signs and warning devices advising of the operation of such systems.
—Enable certain counties to transfer unexpended balances of certain funds to a special county hospital and county home for the aged fund.

Five Options Offered For Reapportionment
TOPEKA (AP)—Chairman William Bunten, R-Topena, told the Reap; portsmouth Committee of the Kansas House Wednesday the legislature had five unanimous votes to approve a court decision holding last year's House apportionment to be unconstitutional.
These, according to Bunten, are the options:
—The state can appeal.
The state can do nothing, in which case the court will reaportion.
—the state can apportion during this legislative session.

—The state can reapportion in 1974.
—the state can reconstitute in 1974
of which the Kansas House and reposition
in 1974.
"In my opinion, sentiment is to keep the House size at the present 125 members," Bunten said. "We might go to 120, three to each Senate district, but if we do, we will always be at the mercy of changes in Senate districts."
News Briefs By the Associated Press Welfare Reform
TOPEKA-A bill to have the state take over full administration of social welfare in Kansas was approved in amended form Wednesday by a House committee and sent to Gov. John Kasich for review. State administration of welfare was recommended by Gov. Robert Docking but has been opposed by a number of county commissioners who serve as county boards of welfare. The state's education minister the welfare programs order directives from the state.
Viet Recognition
OTTWA—Canada has formally recognized North Vietnam, Foreign Secretary Mitchell Sharp announced today. Sharp told the House of Commons the move meant that recorded equal diplomatic status to the governments of North and South Vietnam.
Equal Time
WASHINGTON—The four major radio networks have allotted House Speaker Carl Albert, D-Doka, free time next Sunday to reply to President Nixon's budget speech of Jan. 28. Albert and Senate Majority Leader Mike Wainfield, D-Mont., requested the equal time on the ground that the Democrats would pass a controversial domestic program. Albert, who will present the Democrats' rebuttal, will speak nine minutes beginning at 5:06 p.m. Lawrence time over NBC, CBS, ABC and MBS.
Bunten said the members of the committee faced a big job because "not only do we have to do it right, in the eyes of the team, but we also get 63 votes to get it through the House."
Rep. Arden Dierdorff, R-Smith Center, a member of the committee, said it would be better to start work on a reapportionment plan during the present legislative session. He said if the legislature迟 until 1974, and the court rules it too early, it would be too late to try again before the Feb. 16, 1974 deadline set by the three-budge federal court.
Bunten noted the court said a plan submitted by Rep. James Ungerer and other representatives in 1972 was held by the court to be a better plan than the one that was enacted over the veto of Gov. Robert Docking.
"The court didn't say the Unger plan was constitutional," Bunter noted. "It just took me a while."
"But we will take a look at the 1972 state population figures and apply them to the Ungerger plan to see how they fit. If they don't we will have to start from scratch."
Bunten said support would be needed from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the House to get reapportionment done right.
The committee voted to introduce a bill designed to speed up the gathering of state census figures from year to year, which will be published soon and available latest population figures.
County officials now have until July 15 to report their county population figures to the state Board of Agriculture, with a result of being available until September or October.
The proposed bill would move the company to submit their population data on May 19.
The committee indicated that county assessors and clerks would be contacted for an explanation of the problem in an effort to win their cooperation.

for high school students in East and North Lawrence. This service was financed with state funds under special programs to low income areas.
This service was scrapped after one year because it was ruled ineligible for state assistance by a state agency. State regulations require that funds for low income students not be used to provide those students with general education.
State assistance must be used to provide some special service to the students. Because Lawrence High School is a general public school, no special assistance cannot be used to transport students to it.
Coleman said that the school board determined that it was not financially capable of providing bus service to students within the Lawrence city limits.
Strike Cripples Belfast; Catholic Mourners Shot
BELFAST (AP)—Submachine-gun fire raked Roman Catholic mourners Wednesday in a funeral procession for three Irish Republican Army volunteers, and a militant called by Protestant militants paralyzed the city and parts of Northern Ireland.
Youths also burned a Catholic church and wrecked the home of its priest. Gummen sniped at British troops and police posts in war areas were set in the Belafont business district.
An 11-year-old boy was hit in the abdomen and a 45-year-old man was hit in the leg by a car.
The gunmen apparently were never seen. The three being buried were among six Catholic kills last weekend in a shootout in Texas that claimed two victims who were buried earlier. Wednesday.
The strike, inforced in part through intimidation by Protestant militants, was obeyed by all but an estimated 100,000 of the province's workers, labor sources said.
The one-day work stoppage caused electrical blackouts and disrupted public transportation, closed factories, shops and cut into milk and bread supplies.
The strike was called to protect the detention of two Protestants after a grenade exploded in the courtyard.

Bennett said the GOP Senate caucus also discussed priorities on legislation now before the legislature but made no decision. He said no decisions on which pieces of legislation or priority intentions to will be made until "We have several conferences with the House."
Bennett said the Republicans in the Senate would now caucus every Wednesday the remainder of the 1973 session. He said he hopes the caucus can make a decision on which school finance plan to support at next week's caucus.

'THE WORST FILM I CAN RECALL SITTING THROUGH...EVER. A young victim is seduced into smoking the devil weed. No one seems to inhale, but it must be powerful stuff. Before the film is over, they all become screaming maniacs lumbering around like Frankenstein monsters, murdering people, leaping out of twelfth floor windows and tearing at their throats shouting 'Give me a reef!'. "An incredible series of gross and ludicrous distortions that thirty six years later becomes hilarious when seen from the other side of the generation gap, a gap this film did so much to create."
Kevin Saunders, ABC,
