Lawrence Firefighter Bud Bailey Relaxes During Work Slowdown "Slowdown," means they don't do chores.
Firemen Continue Protest

Officials of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAF") said Wednesday morning that the "slowdown" on fire-fighting equipment will begin local firemen last week would continue.
Union representatives met with City Manager Buford Watson Wednesday morning for a two-hour session that both sides termed "productive."
Stan Gladden, international representative of the IAFF from Washington, said, "We bolstered our list (of demands) down to 20,000 pay issuers, namely the comparative pay issue.
"The city manager was very cooperative and will have his door open to us. The work slowdown will continue until the manager is ready." These meetings scheduled until we hear from him.
Local firemen began the slowdown last Thursday in protest of a recently approved pay increase that was below one given to city policemen. In the new city plan, the
starting salary of firemen 5 per cent
starting salary of policemen 10 per
cent.
Watson agreed that the "gut issue" was the pay scale and said that he planned to review the entire new plan to see how the firefighters' request would affect it. He said he would discuss the issue with the Lawrence City Commission later this week.
When Watson announced the new pay plan last week, he said it was based on a market study made by the Carl S. Becker Company of Colorado for the city. Watson said yesterday that no new studies would be made.
Asked by newsmen if there was any chance of the city commission's accepting the union's demand for pay parity, Watson told the reporters that it base on that. I'll have to look into it.
The city manager added that the city prefers not to take any strong disciplinary measures against firemen involved in the slowdown at this time.
"The actual business of fire fighting has
not been disrupted at this point," he said.
Forty-six one of the city's 62 firemen are currently participating in the slowdown. Watson said Fire Chief Fritz Sanders told Lawrence that many of the Lawrence were involved in the slowdown.
Alvin Samuels, president of Local 1596 of
Kansas, will be up to comment at length on
the slowdown.
"The slowdown is still on," he said.

Viet Terms Outlined In Words of Caution
WASHINGTON (AP)——The United States and Haniel Wednesday outlined a fragile settlement that Henry A. Kissinger said is the first step toward "first to Vietnam, then to Indochina."
In simultaneous news conferences, with presidential aide Kissinger in Washington and North Vietnamese special adviser Le Duc Tho in Paris, both sides disclosed details of the agreement first announced Tuesday night.
"Whether this agreement brings a lasting peace or not," he said, "deed not only upon its provisions but also on the spirit in which it is implemented."
Kissinger provided no surprises, although he did say the return of American prisoners from North Vietnam would begin by mid-December and d-a-half presentation was full of caution.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S determination to keep its emotions from souring into euphoria was also evident in President Obama's statement since he announced the agreement.
"We've got our prisoners coming back," he told congressional leaders, and "a peace, however fragile, which we have hopes will endure."
According to the full 12-page agreement and the four accompanying explanatory and technical documents, the settlement will be different ceremonies this Saturday in Paris.
Within 15 days of the signup the first American POW will be picked in Hanoi by American personnel with the entire contingent of 587 U.S. captives to be released at about two-week intervals for two months.
THE WITHDRAWAL of the last 24,000 American troops remaining in South Vietnam will begin and continue at a similar rate.
The cease-fire initially will be limited to

President Nikon and a long list of other dignitaries followed the limousine of the president.
At the Capitol, Johnson's flag-draped wore巾 was borne through the Senate hallway to the Rotunda, and then placed upon the Lincoln catafalone—just as eight presidents before him—to receive public mourners throughout the chill winter night.

With the last creak of leather and final clop of horses on the journey to the Capitol, Johnson received a 21-gun salute—a mark of his authority. With the same soot, for Nixon's inauguration.
Stilled bands and marching units from each of the military services and academies led the caisson, with the limousines bearing, in order, the Johnson family, the presidential party, other chiefs of state, the vice president, congressional leaders, the Supreme Court judges, the diplomatic corps and other government leaders.
The sleek, black gun carriage bearing the late president was trailed by the same caparisoned horse, Black Jack, remembered by millions of Americans for his riderless journey in the tunnel marathon for the 1964 Olympics. Jack also carried the reversed cavalry boots and silver saber for Herbert Hoover and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

However, Kissinger added, "It is our firm expectation that within a short period of time there will be a formal cease-fire in Laos.
As to Cambodia, the presidential adviser said, "It is our expectation that a de facto cease-fire will come into being over a period of time to advance to the execution of this agreement."
Kissinger told a national broadcast and television audience no one side got everything it wanted, but he claimed the United States obtained most of its essential decades, particularly concerning the right of political self-determination for the South.
LE DUCTHO saw great gains for his side, as well, even to the point of claiming the agreement was a "great victory for the Vietnamese people."

POW Release to Start Within15 Days of Pact
WASHINGTON (AP)—Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger announced Wednesday that North Vietnam would begin releasing American prisoners of war in Hanoi within 15 days of the signing of a peace agreement Saturday.
Speaking at a White House news conference, Kissinger said the 479 U.S. POWs held in North Vietnam and Laos would be turned over to American military personnel in Hanoi "at intervals of two weeks or about 15 days in routely equal installments."
No firm date was disclosed, but Pentagon sources said they were hopeful the initial release would come within 24 hours, possibly on Sunday.
The 165 PGWS held captive in South Vietnam will be released to American authorities "at designated points in the South." he said.
UNDER TERMS of the agreement, "the return of all captured persons . . . shall be completed within 60 days of the signing of the agreement at a rate no lower than the rate of wikidraw from South Vietnam of these forces and those of other countries."
The C141 jet transports, standing by in the Western Pacific awaiting flight orders, apparently will be permitted to land at Gia Lam Airport across the Red River from
Kissinger said U.S. Air Force planes staffed with medical personnel would fly directly to Hanoi to pick up the prisoners at mutually agreed on dates. Some of the men have been in enemy hands more than eight years ago. Medical Americans have been held captive in any war.
downtown Hanoi, the same field bombed by U.S. planes last month.
According to the Pentagon, there are 887 POWs-473 in North Vietnam, 108 held in South Vietnam, and six in Korea. Another group of POWs was held in the North, 965 in the South and 315 in Laos.
The North Vietnamese, however,
currently acknowledge holding only 380
American GIs. They have never given any
information to them and they know the wherebouts
of the missing.
Under the protocol, the United States, North Vietnam and the other warring parties are obligated to exchange complete lists of captured military personnel and civilians on Saturday, the same day the agreement is signed.
THE DOCUMENT spelling out the agreement on handling POWs covers civilian as well as military prisoners on both sides and provides that the seriously ill, wounded or maimed, and old persons and women shall be returned first.
Once cleared by the doctors for the long flight across the Pacific, the ex-prisoners will be flown to Travis Air Force Base, Calif., and transferred to one of 18 military bases set up in California to care for their homes. It is at these hospitals that they will be reunited with their families.
StudEx Retains Pay Of Free U Director
FROM HANOI, the first stop outside Indochina for the American prisoners will be Clark Field in the Philippines. There, they will receive medical examinations and information before embarking to gather information necessary to establish and on their experiences in captivity.
The Student Executive Committee (StudEx) moved Wednesday night to withhold payment of the salary for a Kansas Free University coordinator until the organization submits to StudEx a definite plan for selecting the new coordinator.
Darmien Mundi, a receptionist for the Hilltop Day Care Center, asked StudEx to recognize her as the coordinator of the Free University. Mundi has worked with the Free University since 1987 and since Charles Hand, former coordinator, moved to Topeka several weeks ago.
Thomas Lee Miller, Lawrence sophomore, had been expected to appear at the StudEx meeting to ask for confirmation as the coordinator of the Free University, but Mundi said she and Miller had decided Mundi should take the job.
Mundi told StudEx the Free University had no definite process for selecting a coordinate r. StudEx decided to withhold the result of the calculation until a selection process was set up.
In other business at the meeting, Sterling
Hall, Sublette sophomore and chairman of the election committee, announced the results of the 2016 primary.
Elections will be held March 14 and 15. Petitions for all offices may be submitted up to noon on Thursday, March 30.
Petitions for student body president and vice president must be returned by Feb. 14. All other petitions must be turned in by Feb. 21.
Roger Martin, Lawrence third-year law student and senate treasurer, reported that the contingency fund of the activity fee fund totaled $18.675 as of Jan. 15.
Martin said the Hilltop expenditures by the Hilltop Day Care Center for salaries alone have exceeded the center's entire allocation by nearly $2,000. He said the excess expenditure would probably be paid from the continuity fund.
Joe Lough, Salina senior, presented StudEx with a request for an additional $1,200 to finance the International Film Series for the semester. The request will be taken to the Student Senate at its meeting Jan. 31.
