Senate Defeats Proposal to Cut Income Taxes
**Proposal to Cut Income Taxes**
The Senate defeated 64 to 32 yesterday a proposal to cut income taxes by $6.6 billion and to raise leaves on taxes in the country by $7 billion annually within four years. Proponents of the anticreationist report reportedly hope a smaller version of the bill can still be passed. A debate will begin today on the second version, which includes a $4.6 billion tax cut and renormal of the 22 per cent oil depletion allowance.
Guerrilla Life Sentences Reduced to 7 Years
For Life Sentences Reduced to 7 Years
Eight Flatland guerrillas were sentenced to life imprisonment in Sudan for killing two U.S. deputy Navy personnel in a Belgian envoy in 1973. It was the first time such action had been taken by an army officer. After the sentencing, Sudanese President Gaafar Naury calculated the terms to seven years and decided to turn the guerrillas over to the Palestine Liberation Organization to enforce the sentence.
Stauffer Accused of Media Monopolization
The Justice Department charged that Stauffer Publications Inc. has monopolized the mass media market of Topeka. The department, in a legal brief, urged the FCC to reject Stauffer's petition for renewal of the broadcast licenses of WBH and WIBW-AM and FM radio stations. Stauffer's 85 per cent ownership and WIBW-AM said, amounts to "actual monopoly" if proven. The brief was filed in response to the Stauffer brief objecting to the department's intervention in the case.
Senate Approves Emergency Livestock Loans
The Senate approved an emergency livestock producers' loan program by a vote of 82 to 9. The measure would aid cattle, hog, dairy and poultry producers in maintaining operations damaged by sagging markets and rising costs. The maximum individual loan was set at $350,000 but the Senate didn't establish a rule that limits how loans go on the House, where an Agriculture Committee panel opens bearings today on several emergency measures sought by cattle and hog producers.
Pretrial Publicity Charged in Calley Case
attorneys for William L. Calley Jr., seeking the reversal of his Army murder conviction, argued that Calley was the victim of "damaging and inflammatory" pretrial publicity. The attorneys said every juror in the Calley trial had been exposed to the most damaging pretrial publicity in the history of the United States. The government attorney argued that the civilian court didn't have authority to rule on the question of pretrial publicity in the case.
Court Rules on Obscenity Says 'Carnal Knowledge' Not Pornographic
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that an illustrated version of a government report on pernography was obscene but that the movie "Carral Knowledge" was not.
It was the court's first major obscenity decision since one almost exactly a year ago, in which it laid down new and stricter standards for judging what was obscene.
The same four justices who dissented from the June 21, 1973, ruling, dissented from the decision regarding the illustrated version of the report of the President's Commission on Obstesity and Pornography.
The court was unanimous in freeing "Carnal Knowledge" of obscenity charges.
In other cases the court ruled that states may deny exconvicts the vote and that newsmen do not have a constitutional right to interview inmates of state or federal prisons.

The four agreed with the outcome of the "Carnal Knowledge" case, but they based their conclusion on different reasons.
Referring to the standards laid down last year, Bremon wrote that "the court's new formulation does not extricate us from the mire of case-by-case determinations of obscurity."
He reiterated his earlier view that the First Amendment to the Constitution, "at least in the absence of distribution to the plaintiff," was sufficient.

In yesterday's majority opinion Justice William J Rehqun left open the question of what geography
range was to be covered by the term "community standards."
"The Constitution does not require that juries be in-
formed that an obstate abscess causes to apply words of a
bloodstream to the body of a victim."
Rehquamt also said this year's decision did not mean injuries had "unbridled discretion" to determine what was "patently offensive." He said the court, by listing some specific things which would come under such a definition, "intended to fix substantive constitutional limitations" on university prosecutions.
Rehquist讲：“Carnal Knowledge,” a critically praised R-rated film, was not obscure under these standards. The case arose out of the prosecution of an Albany, Ga., theater operator for showing the movie.
In the case regarding convicted felons' voting rights, the court ruled 6 to 3 that the disenfranchisement does not violate the law.
49 Presidential Tapes Subpoenaed
In uphollding bars on prison interviews by a 5-4 vote, the staff said they denied the press no information which was not disclosed to them.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed 49 more presidential conversations yesterday notice from the White House that there was very little chance the panel would get any of them.
The committee's latest demands for evidence for its impeachment inquiry were contained in four subpoenaes seeking material related to the ITT antitrust settlement, campaign contributions from duty cooperatives, domestic surveillance data and attempts to use the Internal Revenue Service to harass political opponents.
The committee has directed eight subpeas to President Nikon, who has commissioned it.
to issue subpoena when there was so little chance they would be obeyed, committee chairman Peter W. Rodin Jr., D.N.J., said. "I don't know of any other way the committee can make a proper inquiry. If the President refuses to comply with a proper request fully authorized by the House, the American people should know it."
The committee also voted unanimously to permit James D. J. St. Clair, the President's chief Watergate lawyer, to respond to the investigation by a public evidence by the impeachment inquiry staff.
St. Clair would be limited to presenting factual material orally and in writing. He would be given an opportunity later to call witnesses and present legal arguments.
Meanwhile, President Nixon was rebuffed in his attempt to obtain the evidence leading the Watergate grand jury to name him as an unindicted co-conspirator.
The Supreme Court deferred action yesterday on the request, saying it would consider the question, along with other cases. But at a hearing it has scheduled for July 8.
The committee tabled a motion to subpoena a tape from U.S. D. District Judge John
Sirica's tape deals with using the IRS to harass political opponents of the administration. Sirica has refused to give the tape to the committee.
Asked why the committee was continuing
agreed that the committee had the power to demand material from a judge but they felt this was not the proper time to become embroiled in a new controversy.
Several committee members said they
On identical votes of 34 to 4, the committee approved subpoenas demanding 19 ITT conversations and 18 conversation related to milk price supports.
Voting against the subpoenas were four Republicans: Reps. Edward Hutchinson of Michigan, Charles E. Wiggins of California, and James D. of Mississippi and Delbert Latta of Ohio.
The other two subpoenas were approved on voice votes with no opposition heard.
All four subpoenas demand a response by 9 a.m. on July 2.
3 Arab Terrorists Killed by Israelis
By The Associated Press
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Israeli troops killed three Arab terrorists early today after the terror squad had slain four Israelis in a town near Lebanon.
The attack followed a warning from Egypt's semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram yesterday that conflict between Arabs and Israel could escalate into nuclear war.
The three Arab terrorists infiltrated into the coastal resort of Nahariyya, seven miles south of the Lebanese border late yesterday took over part of an apartment complex.
Security sources said two captive children, a woman and a soldier were killed in the Arabs, who held several families hostage for three hours. Eight Israelis were wounded.
It was the fourth Palestinian terror attack this year. The incidents have claimed 49 Israeli lives. All 10 Arab attackers were killed.
IN DAMASCUS, a spokesman for the United Nations observer force in the Golan Heights, the last active Israeli-Arab battlefront, announced that the Israel and Jordan would complete their disengagement process today, 24 hours ahead of schedule.
Rudolf Stajtubar, the spokesman, said Israel would relinquish to U.N. control the runs of Quenetra. Quenetra is the capital of the Syrian Golan Heights.
Two hours after all Israelis have left, U.N. officers will turn over the city administration to a civilian Syrian government. Queitra is the last captured territory still held in Syria. The group held the城 and a small strip to the south of it since the six-day war in June 1967, but
most of the 300 square miles being returned was captured last October.
Earlier, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that Syria had agreed to supply missile systems to defend Israel in Lebanon against Israeli air raids.
THE DISENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT, worked out by American Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger during a 34-day peace mission in the spring, called for the armies to be separated by the Army's accord; both sides are redeploying their troops along a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone roughly straddling the 1967 cease-fire line.
Al Ahram, the Egyptian newspaper, said Israel must agree now to a just and lasting peace, "the only way" to avert a nuclear catastrophe.
Another newspaper, Al Akbar, printed a similar editorial warning the Israelis against using "nuclear terrorism . . . to win a strong negotiation position."
The editors' followed reports published in Cario that Israel had developed a stock-market trading system.
"The Arab people's invasion of the nuclear clan is no longer an impossible" Allia
The newspaper said the Arabs' financial and scientific resources easily could be used.
President Awnad Salat, in an interview broadcast Sunday by CBS television, said Egypt would face a "completely new reality" reports on an Israeli stockfish were true. Otho Ajinawi will continue to concentrate only on "building and re-connection". Sadat said.
Preliminary Audit Report On Woodlawn Completed
A preliminary report on the audit of the Woodland Elementary School's behavior analysis program has been sent to Keith O'Neill, the director of staff affairs, by the University Controller.
No date has been set for the release of the auditor's report, which covers the behavior analysis program from July 1, 1972 to March 31, 1974.
The behavior analysis program, which was funded by a grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and administered through the University's department of human development and family life, has been discontinued.
The audit is a result of accusations of misuse of funds made in April by Nancy Swearring, mother of a child in the school district, a former employer of the program.
Wearingen charged that some employees' salaries had been paid with travel expense reimbursements for trips they never took. The company paid $84.28 for two trips she did not take.
Nitcher said yesterday that he planned to discuss the preliminary audit report this week.

Complaints Are Lodged Against IEC
By KATHY PICKETT
Kansan Staff Reporter
Editors Note: This is part two of a two-part series on the Intensive English Center.
"What did the boys do this morning?" "Then, studied."
Thus continues the arduous task of learning a foreign language-English. The students at the University of Kansas Intensive English Center (IEC) continue this task day after day in the hope of mastering the language well enough to
"What did they do this afternoon?"
The usual difficulties of learning a foreign language are not the only problems these students encounter. They find the same difficulties an American student would find at Chulalongkorn University, the University of Calcutta or the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
IEC students find difficulties in communicating with KS students, a confusion about universities and our international partners, to our mutual benefit.
"They ate."
grading system and personal problems connected with their homes.
The students are often frustrated by the KU system of teaching English.
One student said recently, "Pattern practice is so boring, and the drilling and the lab are boring. I don't mind it." Another student said, "I love patterning."
"It is the most successful method," she said. "And it be easier for these students because they are continuing."
One foreign language teacher said, however, that the drilling method was used successfully by many foreign teachers.
Some IEC students say they aren't necessarily completely surrounded by English. One girl said she made her roommate talk to her but not all the students in the classroom and needed more opportunities to speak English.
A big part of the problem is that although the students are in the IEC, they are set apart from the University. Robert P. Cobb, professor of English and English Language, an advisory committee, said recently that the problem was
when the center was housed in Foster Hall, Foster is not on the main campus. Cobb said this was one reason she changed its name.
“These students need to be integrated into the campus,” CObsd said. “Even if Foster were structurally perfect, we'd like to get them out of it. They should be given different buildings just like other University students.”
Cobb said a big problem at the center was one of morale.
One problem several students mentioned was finding their way around the libraries.
"We have trouble getting books in Watson because it is so big," one student said.
"There are the normal anxieties of the students," he said. "They are concerned about admitting to the university."
Some IEC students are also confused by the organization of the University. Some said they didn't go to movies because they didn't know where the library was, and some said little trouble involving themselves in University life.
Several students said they didn't understand the university's grading system. Some said schools here were too "dense."
Not all of the students understand how they're being guided. One girl said she had no idea how grades in the center were.
Others complained about the IEC's attendance-checking policies.
"I don't see why attendance is checked every day, every hour," an IEC student said.
Along with the grading problem come worries about admittance.
"Many students feel they should be admitted (to the University) after they finish at the center." Coch. said
There are other fears for the students in the program. A few said they thought they were being checked on by the government. Several expressed fear of being told even after being told they would remain anonymous.
Cabb said he wished the center could use more free income to form a sense of cohesiveness. He said that the IEC used to have social events but that there weren't any funds for such activities.
