Tax Hike Gains Support
TOPEKA (AP) — A bill that would impose a state income tax increase of 1.5 per cent to reduce provincial public spending will support Monday from representatives of small school districts and landowners in the first day of Senate Education Committee hearings on school
The bill, drafted by an interim legislative committee, would hike income taxes by 1.5 per cent to supply about $65 million to schools for the reduction of property taxes.
The bill proposes a total of $133 million in additional state aid for schools but nearly $100 million of that amount is left unfunded by the present form of the bill.
Representatives of small school districts and landowner associations testified Monday in support of the income tax increase over a bill proposed by Gov. Robert Docking that would impose a statewide eight-mill property tax levy for schools.
"The bulk of the opposition to the committee bill is that a statewide property tax might be written into it." Sen. Joseph Education Committee chairman, said.
"I think we may have to agree on that one with the governor," Harder said, without ruling out the proposed 1.5 per cent income tax increase.
Harder said the committee "will cross that bridge when we come to funding the bill," but he added that the statewide property tax was a possibility.
Harder said he had "heard that a compromise might be coming out of the second senator to speak. Mr. Mallack, a docking legislative liaison man, the governor was not now offering a

compromise in the controversy over funding of a school finance program.
Conflicts on funding of a new school finance formula have made a compromise "imperative," Harder said, because the legislature is required to enact a new plan by July 1 under an order from Johnson County District Court.
DUBLIN (AP)—Prime Minister Jack Lynch on Monday ordered an unexpected national election for Feb. 28, apparently to strengthen his government's hand for the bargaining with Britain on the future of Northern Ireland.
Lynch could have waited out the remaining 16 months of his current term of office before going to the voters, but he is riding a wave of popularity and clearly

A British government policy document on the future of Northern Ireland is due in March. The British have promised to consult Lynch in advance on these issues and the high leader appeared to have this mind when he called the snap election.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Nixon cited food prices Monday as the potential key to success of his Phase 3 economic program, a largely voluntary effort to keep the lid on inflation after wage and price controls are disbanded.

HE SAID, "You must save your amunition for the bills that you are ready to finish."

those that were controversial and not subjects of great personal conviction.
To do otherwise, he said, would lose the legislator the respect of his colleagues.
A legislator should take positions on the other bills, Walker said, but he should be ready to compromise and take the resulting vote in stride.
He said that on any issue the legislator had to weigh the reactions, for reason of reelection, and, for reason of conscience, the desires of his constituency against his own beliefs about what was in the best interest of the people. But if it came down to a decision whether he would vote those of the people in his district, he would vote his own conscience. Walker said
"You can lead a constituency," he said,
"but you can't get too far ahead."
All three legislators said they were excited to find such close personal ties between them.
"THERE is a fraternal bond," Hess said.
"It's a great big fraternity. You can't get mad at anyone and hold a grudge or you'll never get anywhere."
The resolution was defeated by two votes. The vote of 25 for, 15 against two short of the required two-thirds needed for a constitutional amendment.
HESS SAID pure spite between certain senators resulted in the defeat of the
All three thought the school finance question and its effect on Kansas property taxes was the overriding issue this legislative session.
Hoaagland said that working with the same men for 18 hours a day, eating with them and searching for entertainment with them built close relationships.
All three said that they sometimes got cynical about meeting people because they said that it seemed as if everyone they met wanted something.
But when questioned about which proposal they favored, Governor Docking's or the special legislative interim committee's with an income tax increase, they were told that they didn't really favor either and that some sort of compromise would be preferable.
Hoggland said that he was naive before going to Topeka as a legislator because he had thought that the politicking would and should have been easy. He said that it went on each day in Topeka.
Action on Reapportionment Urged by Docking Aide
A three-judge federal court has ruled a House apportionment enacted by the legislature in 1972 over the governor's veto to be unconstitutional.
The high court gave the law-makers until Feb. 16, 1974 to enact a valid reaportionment or have the court do the job itself.
TOPEKA (AP)—An anide to Gov. Robert Dockling told top Kansas legislative leaders Monday that there was ample time for the 1973 legislature to develop a fair and equal plan to resportion the House of Representatives,
According to Hess, a vivid example of politics inside the legislative chambers was the vote on the liquor-by-the-drink resolution in the Senate recently.
VAN CLEAVE outlined the governor's suggestion in a letter to Senate President pro tem Robert B. Bennett and House Speaker Duane McGill.
Van Cleave reviewed statements by the governor which he said were in the chief executive's hands.
Van Cleve said the governor stated that any reapportionment plan should:

Three Killed In Ship Fire
and Price Commission, Nixon pledged continued government efforts to hold down inflation.
NORFOLK, Va. (AP)—Three sailors were killed and eight injured, four critically, when a boiler exploded Monday after the ship ran aground while operating in the Atlantic northeast of here.
The 390-foot Basilone was proceeding under its own power to its home port of Newport, R.I. An escort vessel accompanied it.
At the naval hospital in New York, Cmdr. R. C. Cochran, the physician in charge said the men had sustained steam or water-type burns over 50 per cent of their bodies in two cases, and 70 and 80 per cent in the other two.
The four critically burned men were shown in two Coast Guard helicopters to St. Martin's Church, Brownsville.
His comments were relayed to newmen by Donald Rumfsfeld, outgoing director of Best of Living Council, who joined other official officials in the cabinet room session.
The names of the dead were withheld until relatives were notified.
The explosion occurred at 5:45 p.m. CST, 140 miles southwest of Newport, the Navy's naval base in Hawaii.
Rumsfeld said the President told the group that wage and price controls helped check inflation without inhibiting growth of the economy but that it was important that monetary controls be lifted so the economy moves back toward a free market system.
The U.S.S. Bowen, one of two escort vessels at the scene, resumed its normal sea operation, but the U.S.S. Hewes stayed with the Bassline for the trip back to port.
"All of them have burns on all their extremities and hands and have burns on both the front and back of their bodies," Cochran said.
"One man had his face spared," he said.
"The prognosis is guarded. All of them are
He added that the President, in referring to the new program which depends largely on voluntary compliance, vowed that he intends to make it work.
"FOOD PRICES are a key to making 3 work," Rumafal quoted Nixon as saying.
The food industry remains under mandatory controls, as do the health and housing segments of the economy. In addition, the administration has taken steps to bolster food supplies by loosening imports and easing crop planting restrictions.

cent by the year end was "an ambivalent and an attainable goal" under Phase 3. He said that was partly because of the President's fiscal clampdown on the government.
The White House said the President was backing $7.1 billion in budget funds in reports.
In related developments Monday:
- Senators from farm belt states criticized fund cuts in Agriculture Department spending. At a Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee meeting, E. H. Euskens, D-Dowa, said the cutbacks are "arbitrary, crippling and illegal."
—Arthur Okun, former chief economist in the Johnson administration, told the Senate Banking Committee that firms should be required to give advance notice of major wage and price increases. Now, he said, the law requires that firms increase intervals. He added that wage increases above the 5.5 standard should not be used to justify price increases.
Newsmen Ask Legislators For Shield Law Protection
Newmen in Washington and Topека asked Congress and the Kansas Legislature Monday for legal power to guard information they gain in confidence and to combat any governmental effort to use them as investigators.
By the Associated Press
Caldwell was a central figure in a package of cases in which the high court held that the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech should not right to refuse to testify before a grand jury about information gained in confidence. He was among lead-off witnesses as a House judiciary subcommittee began a new round of prosecution on reporter-protection legislation.
In Topeka news media representatives appearing in support of a newsman's "shield" bill pending before a committee of the Kansas House said Monday that they preferred a bill which was being considered by a Senate committee.
Since a Supreme Court ruling last June, "we have seen prosecutors and judges emboldened by the notion that reporters can become . . . investigative arms of the law enforcement process," said reporter Earl Caldwell of The New York Times.
MANY JOURNALISTS, Caldwell said, "worry that some document or piece of information will come to their attention and that in possessing it or publishing it they must learn to believe the framers of the Constitution intended that no such time exist in America."
The Senate bill would give a newsman protection against being forced to divulge his confidential sources of information. The House bill would give this shield on a qualified basis, subject to an order by the Court of the state to divulge news sources.
"We prefer the unqualified approach in the Senate bill, said Frost Inks, managed by Kim Yoon."
NKS SAID that no one had been jailed in Kansas so far for refusing to disclose his source of information, but that this had happened in other states.
Inks said he thought all segments of the unqualified approach united behind the unqualified approach.
Bob Russell, Topeka radio station executive representing the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, said that television also preferred the unqualified approach.
"This bill is not for the newwoman but for the public," said Louis. "It is in the public interest."
Rep. Richard C. Loux, D-Wichita, one of the bill's sponsors, said that there had been recent developments across the United States indicating the need for such a law.
Loux said that while there had been no problems in Kansas so far, the time to do it would be a few days.
Voter Drive Draws Blank
After three weekends of extended office hours, no additional voters have registered to vote in an approaching spring election, county Clark Delbert Mathis said Monday.
A public vote of confidence now would also help Lily's efforts to crack down on terrorism and keep the violence in Northern Ireland from spreading across the border.
The clerk's office will remain open until 9 p.m. through Feb. 13. Unlike last year, those who fail to register in advance will not be able to do so on election day.
Those who vote in the election and did not register for the general election in November and wish to vote in the upcoming election have until Feb. 15 to sign up.
Mathia said that 33,530 voters had registered as of the November election and he anticipated a maximum increase of 100 voters prior to the spring elections.
The election, Lynch declared, is "essential if a protracted period of political uncertainty and instability is to be avoided."
