Black Man Held for Murder of Mrs. King
Marcus Wayne Chenault, a 23-year-old black man, was ordered held yesterday for grand jury action on murder charges in connection with the slaying of Mrs. Martin Luther King Sr. and a church deacon. The FBI announced it was entering the case at the direction of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department to investigate the possibility of a comprimer. Several witnesses said Sunday that they felt the shooting might have been part of a conspiracy.
Secretary Says Volunteer Army a Success Secretary of the Army Howard Callaway declared the all-volunteer Army "a great success" in meeting its personnel goal in the first full year without a draft law. At a news conference Callaway said the Army reached 783,000 men and women as of Sunday, the end of the 1974 fiscal year. Callaway said that the readiness readiness was up and that its discipline rate was "acceptable."
Harris Poll Says Wallace More Respected
Pollster Louis Harris said that Gov. George Johnson of Alabama had risen greatly in the esteem of the American people in recent years, but that he would be a weak candidate against Vice President Gerald Ford in 1970. Harris said the governor's new term was one of "dangerous demagogue." That wallace was a "racist," "extremist," or "dangerous demagogue." Sikty-one per cent of those polled they considered him "a man of high integrity."
Lobby Attacks Campaign Finance Reform Bill The House Administration Committee approved public financing of presidential primaries and a broad campaign finance reform bill. Common cause, the so-called citizens' lobby that has been pressing for a strong reform measure, called the bill approved by the committee "loophole-ridden legislation which places members of Congress firmly in control of campaign finance law enforcement." The committee had voted against the same measure last Friday.
Justice Department Defends Firing of Cox

Moss, D-Uthan, and Repa, Bella Abzug, D-N.Y., and Jerome R. Walde, D-Calf, filled the original suit against the Justice Department.
Weather Alert Systems Warn Area Residents
Summer brings new students and an increased chance of severe weather to Lawrence. Several warning systems and providers provide assistance in the event of a storm.
When there is a possibility of severe weather, the National Weather Service in Topeka issues a weather watch. This watch is announced on radio and television stations. The personnel and volunteers go to assigned places to watch the sky for developing conditions.
The sirens indicate that everyone should take cover as soon as possible.
"When a tornado has been sighted and verified, then we sound the sirens," said H. J. Crawford. "I can hear the screams."
John H. Hill, residence hall program director, said that information concerning the 1974-1975 fire was
All residence halls are considered safe according to the information. Persons in the halls should seek shelter in the inside hallways away from doors and windows.
"The class has expressed the desire that the Jayhawk be erected in front of a campus building and not inside. Further, the committee hopes it will be placed in a room possibly in front of Strong Hall, the library, Auditorium or Allen Field House."

Place for KU Sculpture Debated
the art department, said that a few weeks ago as he and a group of friends were driving behind the Union, they completely missed seeing the work. A closer inspection proved that the Jayhawk was indeed still in his place.
For those people who have never seen the gift of the Class of 56 and for those who have lost track of it over the years, the 1,000 pound bronze jayhawk now resides behind Kansas Union in a niche specifically built up during the most recent Union expansion.
Questions have been raised recently regarding the placement of the bird. Mark Williams, a senior curator at the National Wildlife Refuge, said:
Bernstein's boss is Elden Tefft, professor or painting and sculpture and the designer of the museum.
Dean of Men Donald K. Alderson has appointed six persons to fill positions in the Board of Directors.
"I don't think that it is in an ideal location," Tefft said recently. Tefft said, however, that obviously a great deal of time was needed to build the construction of the base and surrounding material.

Peron's Death Puts Wife in Power
BUENOS AIRES (AP) —Isabel Peron became Argentina's president yesterday after the death of her husband, Juan D. Martinez, a former member of the political vacuum left by his death.
Peron, 78, had been the dominant political personality in Argentina for three decades, including an 18-year exit after the military toppled his government in 1955.
"We shall have to start learning how to live without Force, and it won't be easy," he said.
Peron's opponents shared that view.
Saturday the allying Peron handed power to his vice-president, his 43-year-old wife. A serious case of influenza, contracted more than two weeks ago, had developed into infectious bronchitis, which aggravated an old circulatory problem.
Peron, very popular, was a pragmatist fond of applying the rules of military strategy to politics. His philosophy was a combination of nationalism, populism and what he called "a true sense of the historical period one is living in."
His last term in office was marked by turbulence. Labor disputes, terrorism and Peronist party squabbles reached a peak just as he became ill.
Peron always refused to appoint a political heir. When his followers feuded over the succession, he surprised everybody by picking Isabel, his third wife, as his running mate in the elections of last September, which he won overwhelminely.
All these groups significantly voiced strong support for Mrs. Peron during the weekend and pledged to back the constitutional regime.
Mrs. Peron was expected to maintain her husband's economic and social policies and work with him to ensure his well-being.
The question is whether she, inexperienced in politics, will be able to retain control of Argentina's fragmented political arena.
During his third presidency Peron opened extensive trade with Socialist countries, including Cuba, and affiliated Argentina with the group of nonaligned nations.
"My successor shall be the Argentine people," he said.
Political observers believed he meant the social and political groups that backed him must organize themselves to retain power. These groups are organized labor, from which Peron had always received wide support in the country for a movement; former opponents in the Radical Civil Union, the second largest party; a number of other smaller forces ranging from the Communists to middle-of-the road parties; the so-called "national command," those not connected with multi-national corporations; and the armed forces.
VERY FUNNY. Hillcrest2
"The architect was told to work very carefully with the sculpture." Bone and
According to Burge, the material for the base and backdrop was chosen very carefully. He said that the Jayhawk had frequently been the object of vandalism and damage by using a selection of materials, paint, for example, and be cleaned off in a matter of a few minutes.
Burge said he was open to suggestions to move the bird from its present location.

SUMMER
"Because of the foot traffic during events that are held in Memorial Stadium, I think that the Jayhawk gets more vision than some people think," Wintermute said.
Dick Winnermute, executive director of the Alumni Association, agrees.
Burge said, that he was not sure the bird was in a particularly bad position at play.

However, Wintermote went on to say that he would like to see the sculpture placed between the sidewalks in front of Strong Hall.
Any plans to move the Jayhawk from its present location apparently must come from within the University. Wintermate said that when the sculpture was permanently located, it ceased to be the property of the Alumni Association.
According to Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning and operation, the office was in charge of a number of projects.
