House Votes to Require OK on Nuclear Gifts
House Votes to Require OK on Nuclear Gifts
The House voted yesterday to block any future export of nuclear technology to foreign countries unless Congress approves in advance. The vote was a reaction to President Nixon's approval during his recent Middle East trip of the United States. The Senate approved the bill by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. All agreements or amendments to agreements proposed or entered into July 1, 1974, would be affected.
Texas Convict Threatens to Blow Up Hostages

Bill Allowing Ownership of Gold Sent to Nixon Congress sent to the White House a bill permitting Americans to buy and sell gold as of Dec. 31. The buying and selling of gold would be allowed if the President finds that the transactions will not disrupt the U.S. international monetary position.

Agnew Gets Special Permission to Own Gun
President Vice President T. Agnew, who used to rely on the Secret Service for protection, won government approval to own a gun.

The number of students attending the University of Kansas in 1983 may be 14,025, according to an ad hoc committee on financial exigency.
The committee released its findings in April from data prepared by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. The committee also approved the University Senate Executive Committee.
The figures released by the report of the committee indicate that enrollment at KU will peak in 1978 and then decrease to the 1983 figure. Estimated enrollment for 1975 is 18,546. The figures don't include enrollment at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Del Stenkler, executive vice chancellor,
said recently that the projected enrollment
was based on the number of births in
the school district. He said that would go to high school and college.
"The University should continue to attract the same percentage of students that it has in the past, and the figures reflect what students know.
Ron Calgaard, Outreach director and professor of economics, said the projection would be influenced by a number of variables. Out of state admissions, community colleges, public schools and the distribution of population would affect the projection. Calgaard said
"We expect continued growth in the northeast area of the state," Calgard said, "but no one can argue about the percentage of high school graduates."
Shankel said programs were being tried and formulated to offset declining
Outreach is an effort to make the capacities and facilities of the University more available to the entire state, Calgary said. Shankl and Calgal agreed that
motive of Outreach wann’t to increase enrollment but that it, nevertheless, could increase retention.
Shankel said programs were being continually modified to make them more attractive to students. He said the Bachelor of General Studies degree was an example of this. Educational services for the area for the state should be provided, he said.
The recently formed University of Mid-America is a cooperative effort for continuing education to provide citizens in North America with a good education, Shankel said.
Goodman is a member of a "concerned group of faculty" that released a report on financial exigency this week. The report said immediate steps should be taken by the University administration to prevent financial exigency.
Specific action to develop innovative course offerings, participation in the Outreach program and closer ties with organizations who colleges should be established, the report said.
Grant Goodman, professor of East Asian studies and history, said fewer students on campus would not necessarily mean fewer faculty members. He said specific planning should be under way to prevent the release of faculty members.
Shankel said that the University had undertaken a lot of studies dealing with declining enrollment but that they weren't far enough along to discuss at this time.
"The community colleges, as well as KU,
are seeking a stable situation during
the pandemic."
The projection that KU has now falls near the middle of the predictions, he said.
Prison Sentence Given Ehrlichman
2 Cubans Get Probation; Concurrent Term Given Liddy

"You're a lawyer," Gessell told Ehrlichman, and among the defendants you held accountable were his son, Liam.
Gesell said he was taking into consideration the positive aspects of Ehrlichman's public service and ignoring other factors. "I think the evidence would have been far more severe."
WASHINGTON (AP)—John D. Ehrlichman, once President Nixon's right-hand man for domestic affairs, drew a minimum 20 months imprisonment in the Plumbers who held him for his part in what the court called a "shadowed episode in the history of our country."
U. S. District Judge Gerhard Gessell ordered probation only for two Cbus refugee members of the White House spy队. Gessell said the Cubans had been dug into an operation as bad as any they had fought in their homeland.
Turkey Ignores Peace Agreement; Greek Cypriots Abandon 2 Towns
All four men were convicted by a jury in U.S. District Court here July 12 after a two-week trial.
Ehrlichman drew three concurrent sentences of 20 months to five years on each of his convictions. They were for authorizing the break-in at the office of Dr. Fritz Sternberg, a psychiatrist, and two counts of perjury before Watergate grand juries.
G. Gordon Liddy, already under a six-year, eight-month to 20-year sentence in the Watergate break-in, drew another 1 to 3 years concurrent with his present term. He was convicted as a leader of the Fielding break in operation.
Although not the stiffest sentences handed out in the Watergate cases, Ehrlichman's penalty was the most severe meted so far to any high official of the Nixon administration. He remains free without bond, pendin appeal.
Bernard L. Barker and Eugenio R Martinez, convicted Wategate burglarys who admitted breaking into Fielding's office on a White House mission, were given three years probation after Gesell said they had suffered enough.
In his protest, Clerides said the Turks had continuously violated the cease fire in the Kyrenia and Nicosia districts. He accused the Turkish army of more than doubling

In a brief news conference outside the courthouse later, Ehrlichman said he believed justice would be found and done. He said it would ultimately be exonerated and vindicated.

Ellbersh's case was dismissed when the bargain of his doctor's office by government was rejected.
Former White House aide Charles Colson had been a co-defendant in the Fielding break-in case but pleaded guilty shortly before the trial to a reduced charge of trying to influence Ellsberg's trial by disseminating derogatory information about him. Colson said Nixon urged him to do it.
House Prepares for Floor Debate
WASHINGTON (AP)—Some of President Nixon's defenders were already conceding glum prospects in the House as the president made a few preparations yesterday for full floor debate.
Asked whether the House would pass all three articles of impeachment approved by the committee, Rep. Charles Wiggins, R-Calif., said, "At the moment, I would have to say the odds are that the House would pass them."
Wiggins was leader of the Nixon defense during the panel's six days of nationally televised testimony.
Nixon speechwriter, Patrick J. Buchanan, said the White House was keeping the open option of up a fight in House in order to expedite Senate action.
Buchanan said that if a House vote for impeachment seemed certain, consideration would be given to pressing for a quick Senate trial.
Wiggins' opinion was shared by one or Nixon's staunch Senate supporters, Sen. John G. Tower of Texas, who again said the expected case to go to a Senate trial.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—Turkish troops ignored the newly signed Cyprus cease-fire accord and drove Greek Cypriots from two, United Nations spokesman said.
The spokesman said Turkish naval guns and tanks shelled the coastal towns of Karavas and Lapithos seven and nine miles west of Kyrenia and forced the Greek Cypription national guardsmen to abandon the towns.

Senate Leaders Disagree On Burger's Part in Trial
A Greek Cypriot who reached Nicosia from the northern coast said a battle had raged for about two hours in the vicinity of the two villages about midday.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate's Democratic and Republican leaders disagreed yesterday over how much power Chief Justice Warren E. Burger should have in presiding over a possible impeachment trial of President Nixon.
Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, in an 18-page proposal to overhaul the Senate's entire impeachment rules, urged a limitation of Burger's rule in supervising preparations and said he should be barred from breaking ties on procedural matters.
Republican Leader Hugh Scott, however, said Burger should be able to vote on procedural ties, as was the case in the 1868 imputation trial of President Andrew Johnson.
Earlier, Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the GreekCyripts, lodged an official complaint with the United Nations that charged that Turkey was
The dispute over Burger's role emerged as the Senate Rules and Administration Committee launched a study of the rules. It was decided to take testimony next week
Today's Kanas is the last issue of the summer session. The next Kanasan—a six-sk class, back-to-school and didwell—will be published August 21.
The strategy, Buchan said, would call for urging the House to vote on impeachment without a floor debate or roll call vote.
Plans call for the house debate to start in two weeks.
A majority vote in favor of any of the three articles of impeachment sent to the House by the Judiciary Committee would send the case to the Senate. There, a two-thirds majority would be required for conviction and removal from office.
Most impeachment leaders want the evidence fully aired in the House, and are almost certain to demand a vote on the public record.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Federal Trade Commission moved yesterday against energy crisis advertising, including some mileage enquiries by the nation's three largest companies.
The KU summer session will end officially at 6 p.m. Saturday. The first day of classes for the fall semester will be August 26.

FTC Denounces Energy Crisis Car Ads
J. Thomas Rosch, director of the commission's bureau of consumer protection, said the ads in dispute ran last January and were gasoline shortage wages were at their peak.
- Obstructed justice in the Watergate break-in and cover-up cases;
The commission initiated administrative action against ads by Ford and Chrysler to avoid the disruption of items of what it considered misleading fuel consumption ads by General Motors, three car dealers, two recreational vehicle trade associations and a boating trade association.
- Abused the powers of his office by attempting to m't-use government agencies for his purposes.
In response, Ford cited a line in one of the

—Wilfully disregarded Judicary Committee subpoenas for impachment judgment
ads saying, "Of course the mileage you will get depends on many factors: equipment, engine displacement, vehicle weight, local conditions and your personal driving style."
The FTC wants "to assure consumer anxieties over current energy problems are not exploited by advertising that is false, deceptive or unsubstantiated." Rosch said.
Sen. Howard Cannon, D-Dew, the panel's chairman, agreed with Marsfield that Burger shouldn't vote on procedural matters and suggested her suggestions by the democratic leader.
The Ford dispute involved ads reporting that four Ford and Mercury cars attained mileage as high as 32 miles per gallon in a cross-country drive. The commission complained the ad might give the misleading impression that the ordinary driver could expect to get that kind of mileage.
The Chrysler ad claimed a buyer could get a small Chrysler Corp. car that gets better mileage than a Chevy Nova. The FTC said the ad didn't go far enough and specify that Chrysler did not hold if eight-cylinder Chrysler cars were compared with eight-cylinder Novas.
General Motors agreed not to make future fuel economy claims unless it specified the models involved and could back up the claims with valid tests.
The General Motors ads had declared the Cadillac Eldorado to be superior in fuel economy to 73 other models. The FTC contended the ad was misleading because the Environmental Protection Agency tests the car included more than one model of each car.
"In a number of cases, one or a majority of samples tested for a listed automobile had attained better mileage than both the Eldorado samples," the commission said.
The three articles were approved by the committee during six days of nationally broadcast debate that totaled 35 hours and 46 minutes.
Northwest Marine Industries of Seattle said that fuel for recreational boating was provided.
The other cases were handled by the commission's Seattle regional office.
Chrysler argued that the ad stands up, even if it didn't specify it was talking about something.
The Trailer Coach Association of Anaheim, Calif., and the Recreational Vehicle Institute of Des Plaines, Ill., advertised that gasoline mileage for a recreational vehicle was about the same as for a late-model passenger car.
