TOPEKA-Praise, corn, America and Republican virtues marked the Kansas Day Club's gala observation of the 112th anniversary of Kansas statehood Monday in Topeka.
More than 900 Republicans attended the festivities at Municipal Auditorium, highlighted by an address by George Bush, former ambassador to the United Nations and newly appointed chairman of the Republican National Committee.
The praise was for Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan;. sen. James R. Pearson, R-Kan; President Richard Nixon, and Republicans across the state.
Pearson greeted the Republicans and expressed his gratitude for the unified support he received from them in his successful bid for reelection last November.
This was a different Kansas Day for him, be said.
"The last two years I spent Kansas Day going from leader to leader asking them what my chances for winning were in 1972," he said.
HIS ADULATION for Dole was neither the first nor the last of the evening.
"Kansas was lucky, the fortunate, to have had Bob Dole as chairman of the Republican National Committee for the last two years." Pearson said.
Pearson said that when he was with the American delegation to the United Nations, he had seen Bush exhibit diplomatic adroitness and Texas toughness.
The Dole was introduced and as he went to the speaker's platform, he received a phone call.
He told the crowd that Pearson had a year-year look that he hoped to pick up in a conference.
Dole announced that the distinguished Kansasans of the year were Ron Evans, commander of Apollo 17, and Kansas servicemen who have served in Vietnam.
Flu Epidemic Disappears, Saves Doctor
The flu epidemic at the University of Kansas appears to have dissipated, Raymond Schweiger, director of the Health Student Service, said Monday.
"Things are much quieter here today." Schweger said.
"The two or three students who were admitted with flu symptoms over the weekend were not serious cases, and we are about to be home," he said. "The are about ready to go home."
Watkins reported a minor epidemic last week when 12 students were admitted with severe flus symptoms.
The U.S. Public Health Service Center for Disease Control in Atlanta has reported outbreaks of London flu in humans who had been exposed to of almost 2,000 deaths this winter.
"When I went to New York to visit Ambassador Bush about becoming chairman of the Republican National Committee, I said, 'As a friend, don't do it.' Dole said.
GEORGE BUSH then took the speaker's stand and the raiser pushed forth.
"The National Committee in Bob Dole had precisely the kind of leader it needed in the last two years, especially in the campaign year of 1972.
"No man worked harder or made a more singular contribution than Bob Dole," Bush
Bush said that he and Nixon agreed that Dole had done what he termed a fantastic job and had been able to take on the charismanship and still do a good job as

what a wonderful voting record he had," Bush said.
BUSH SAID THAT his position as U.N. ambassador had allowed him to watch the presidential campaign from a special experience he had taught him a lesson anew.
"I expect we can rectify that in 1974," he said.
" our system," he said, "is quite simply the one we have to lose, of the 131 member nations of the IUCN."

Diplomats Intervene As Battles Continue
SAIGON (AP) — Hundreds more reported cease-fire violations and casualties by the threesome threw the Vietnam truce into conflict, a blowing swift U.S. diplomatic intervention.
A week-long land-grabbing effort and diplomatic bickering between the Communist Vietnamese and the Saigon Vietnamese resulted in a tridey in chaos from the demilitarized zone to the Mekong Delta. The attacks and counterattacks left military positions of both sides in disorder and added to the confusion pattern of disputed holdings.
VICE PRESIDENT Spiro Agnew was due in Saigon Tuesday afternoon (saigon time) on the first leg of a seven-nation Asian tour that will also take him to Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. Agnews's press secretary, J. Marsh Thompson, said the trip was in preparation for his trip, that "we are not abandoning our friends."
The International Commission of Control and Supervision, still in the preliminary stages of organization, stalled because of haggling between the two Vietnamese sides. The enforcement authority, the commission, is a monumental task in restoring order.
U. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker was reported to have intervened for the second successive day in trying to solve a second problem that could prove embarrassing to Agnew.
Nearly 150 additional North Vietnamese delegates, flown from Hanoi to Saigon aboard two U.S. Air Force C130 transports to join the four-party military peace commission, imitated their Viet Cong allies and refused to budge from their planes.
THE DELEGATES were parked at Tan Son Nuh air base in front of the U.S. base operations, the same area where Agnew's iet was scheduled to land.
They "will be there till morning," said an Air Force man. "The big man (Agnew) is coming, and they ain't gone by, then we're to tow them away or taxi them away."
There were reports that the first two meetings of the four-party Joint Military Commission broke up in acrimonious disputes over the failure of at least one of the two Communist delegations to present credentials.
The U.S. and South Vietnamese delegates demanded that the Viet Cong offer such documents. But the Viet Cong claimed they did not need credentials because they had
Senate Boots Booze Bid
The defeat of the lottery and liqueur amendments was not so surprising, but the swiftness with which they faced extinction was something of a shocker. The lottery issue had been considered touch-and-go and no one expected to resist. Votes sily of having the necessary 27. The liquor vote was not expected to be even that close.
"It looks like there will be no measure approved in this session on either bingo or liquor by the drink," said Senate President pro-term Robert F. Bennett.
The House debated and gave preliminary approval to 11 measures, while the Senate gave its final passage to four bills, including one creating the new Kansas Consumer Protection Act, and gave tentative endorsement to six more bills.
It also voted 25-14 in favor of an amendment to remove the ban on lotteries from the state constitution, with 27 votes against it. The state approval required to pass a resolution.
THE LOTTERY amendment could be reconsidered today if someone among the 15 who voted against it moved for reconsideration. Senators said late Monday they knew of no move afoot to reconsider the proposal.
THE ACTIONS on those two proposals highlighted an otherwise routine opening of the room.
TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Senate delivered a double knockout punch to liquor and gambling Monday, killing outright a resolution which would have put a local option liquor by-the-drink amendment on hold. A judge last month ordered an amendment down for a probable 10-count.
The Senate voted 18-17 in a standing vote to reject the proposed liquor amendment, and then struck it from the upper chamber's calendar.
Five senators didn't vote—Bennett, who was in the chair running the Senate, Elwina Pomeroy, R-Topeka, who on the telephone discussing school finance, and three others who could not be identified after the standing vote was over.
There was talk of trying to resurrect some type of lottery amendment to legalize only the playing of traditional corn-and-cards games in corporate organizations. But prospects appeared dim.
Sen. Vincent Moore, R-Wichita, authored the liquor-by-the-drink amendment, which would have gone on the 1974 general election ballot, admitted he was a Democrat.
Bingo-only constitutional amendment on the ballot.
"I WAS REALLY surprised," he said.
"My mistake, Luke was in not calling for a roll call employee."
There is a resolution in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee introduced by Mr. McIntosh on Tuesday.
"The question of bingo is dead as far as the April ballot is concerned." McCill said.
Moore said, and Pomeroy confirmed, that the Topeka Republican had not been absent he would have tied the liqueur vote 18, and Bennett probably would have broken the tie in favor of the amendment, thus advancing it to a final roll call today.
HOWEVER, THE REV. Richard E. Taylor Jr., head of Kansas United Dry forces, was confident the liquor amendment was doomed anyway.
BUT REP. R. Duane "Pete" McGill, House Speaker, said there was not enough time for the House to move that resolution through and get it to the secretary of state's office in time to place it on the Auril municipal elections ballot.
"We only needed 14 votes," he said, noting there were 18 who voted against the liquor-by-the-drink amendment in the standing vote Monday.
"Because the economic, social and personal losses caused by drugs, alcohol pushing and legalized gambling are far greater than any minor gains that may result in a rejection both. The legislature can now get on with matters which build up Kansas."
Sen. Bob Talkington, R-Iola, a lottery amendment backed, said, "far as as I am concerned, the Senate has acted on bingo, lotteries and liquor. You can forget them."
"The heart of the nation is sound," Taylor said in a victory statement following the two

THERE WERE conflicting reports as to whether the North Vietnamese also refused to offer credentials. The cease-fire agreement was abandoned in its section on the military commissions.
Among bills given preliminary Senate approval were ones to make aircraft privacy a class A felony and bring Kansas into compliance with federal rules on air quality emission data.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) -The first American killed in Vietnam after the cease-fire took effect called his family last week to tell them he was involved in dangerous work that probably would keep him most other U.S. troops were withdrawn.
Army helicopter pilot Anthony Dal Porzo Jr., wounded one hour and 45 minutes after the cause-fire was supposed to begin, died in a helicopter crash after arms ground fire while flying a counter mission 10 miles southwest of Can Tho, capital of the Mekong Delta, the U.S.
His mother said the family received a call from him last Tuesday, the day President Obama met with Mr. Bush.
Dal Pozzo, 21, a native of Santa Barbara graduated from helicopter school last November and had been in Vietnam less than seven weeks.
Anthony enlisted in the Army.
"He said it was pretty bad where he was," Mrs. Dal Pozzo said.
She said her son, a warrant officer, graduated first in his class out of helicopter school and had received a Bronze Star and was shot down. He had been shot down once before.
"He knew that he might not be able to

"I just wish he hadn't tried to be such a hero," she added without elaboration.
He had accepted combat as the price he had to pay for the schooling he received, a lie.
The Dal Pozzo family received a telegraph Sunday night telling them Anthony had been seriously wounded. An Army representer told him Monday morning to tell them of his death.
KU Grad Enlists Early; Draft Gets Last Laugh
Kansan Staff Writer
By CAROLYN OLSON
In fact, the announcement of the end of the draft put the icing on the cake for Chris Carstenson, a December KU journalism graduate from St. Joseph, Mo.
One former University of Kansas student wasn't very happy to hear that the military draft was halted Saturday by President Richard Nixon.
Carstenson's first miscalculation came when he enlisted Dec. 15 in the U. S. Army, instead of waiting for his induction date. Dec. 28.
Carstenson could have avoided military duty because all scheduled draft inductions for Dec. 28 were canceled because of the death of former President Harry Truman.
In a telephone interview Monday night from his home in St. Joseph, Mo., Carstenson said he was discouraged upon hearing that the draft was halted, but adultery had been detected and had died and there were to be inductions on the very day I was to be induced."
"I enlisted two weeks before I was to be inducted because I thought I would get a better assignment in the Army that would allow me to degree in journalism," Carstensen said.
"I tried to withdraw my enlistment, but my application was also denied." Carr
He did get an assignment as an information specialist, but he said that he would have to go back.
Carstenson said he had tried to get a deferment after learning there would not be any draft inductions Dec. 28, but his request was denied by the Kansas Selective Service.
He will be in the Army for three years and is to report March 9 to Ft. Leon Wood,
"I don't know where I'll be stationed for the rest of my assignment, but I do know that I will have to serve all three years of it," Carstenson said.

Liddv Accused as Watergate'Boss'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The prosecutor in the Watergate gatebug trial told the jury Monday that defendant Gordon Liddy was "the moneyman, the supervisor, the organizer" of espionage in Democratic James W. McCord Jr., did his bid.
Never once referring to involvement by the Committee for Re-election of the President, for which both men worked, prosecutor Earl J. Silbert said of the two defendants: "He and Liddy were off on an enterprise of their own."
Both sides had rested earlier in the day—the 15th day of the trial—and Silbert completed his one-hour closing argument. Judge John J. Sirica put off the defense's closing arguments until today and said he must release his instructions to the jury afterward.
REPEATEDLY TURNING toward the two defendants, the only ones left on trial from the original seven, Silbert asked, "Who was the boss that night?" referring to an evening when the men were riding with a team of firefighters looking over McGovney headquarters.
"The boss was the defendant Liddy, the moneyman, the supervisor, the organizer," he wrote.
other five who pleaded guilty earlier, began in the predawn hours of June 17 last year, when the political campaign was just heating up. That morning three plain policemen arrested McCord and four others inside Democratic headquarters.
Geral Alch, McCord's attorney, said in his opening arguments three weeks ago that McCord had "no evil-meaning mind, no evil-dancing hands."
Peter Maroulis, Liddy's attorney, who reserved his opening statements until Monday, said he would, through his wit, insure that one of innocence in the chain of command."

THE DEFENSE for Liddy and McCord presented only 11 witnesses in an hour and 12 minutes before resting in the early afternoon.
Government witnesses have testified, Marouls said, that Liddy was given an intelligence gathering function in the campaign but that the prosecution made it appear that the guilt for illegal activities went no higher than Liddy.
security director for the Republican National Committee and the Committee for the Re-election of the President at the time two wiresap were placed in the Democratic party headquarters in the Watergate office building.
McCord is charged in eight counts with conspiracy "to obtain and use information ill-gaily from the offices and headquarters of the Democratic National Committee;" with burglary, and with using bugging devices.
A conviction on all eight counts could carry a maximum 60 years in prison and a minimum 10 years.
LDDY, 42, also was in the FBI, had practiced law and had been a top assistant in the Treasury Department and a White House aide. He was legal counsel for the President and was selected by the President and its finance arm at the time of the alleged conspiracy.
Liddy is charged in six counts with conspiracy, burglary and illegal wrapping, but not, as McCord, with possessing intercepted devices. He faces two counts of possession. Conviction could bring a maximum prison sentence of 50 years and fines up to $40,000.
