Exxon Gave Oil Data to Arabs, Official says
An Exxon executive acknowledged yesterday that his corporation had furnished information on U.S. military oil purchases to the Saudi Arabian government last November, just days after the Arabs had begun their embargo against the U.S.
Charles O. Peyton, president of Exxon International Co., told Senate investigators the data were delivered under threat of an even further shutdown of Saudi Arabia's pumps, one that could have worsened oil shortages throughout the western world.
Peyton said that release of the data helped implement a cutoff of Saudi oil to American forces overseas, affecting indirect deliveries as well as direct. But he said the figures would have been withheld if the Defense Department had objected.

Senate Sub-Committee To Discuss Parkway
Clinton Parkway financing will be discussed tomorrow at a bearing of the Senate sub-committee on water resources in Washington.
A bill introduced by Sen. Bob Dole R-Kan,
would direct the Army Corps of Engineers
to build the 4.1-mile highway from 3rd and
Iowa Streets to the northern edge of Clinton
Reservoir, at a cost not exceeding $6
million.
Dole's bill also provides that the federal government share no more than 70 percent
The remaining 30 percent would have to be provided by Lawrence and Douglas Carr.
City and county commissioners will be representatives at the hearings to present statements in an attempt to obtain the full 70 percent allocation.
Mayor Jack Rose said yesterday that the commissioners' primary argument would be that city and county residents shouldn't, and in reality couldn't, subsidize the entire system, the highway was being sized to carry traffic from Johnson County and Kansas City.
Lawrence's share of the 30 per cent could be provided by issuing bonds, Rose said. Walt Craig, county commissioner, also said the county's solution to the funding problem,
Rose said a divided four-lane highway wasn't a city or county road and wasn't a suburban street.
Dean Sanderson, Douglas County Director of Public Works and Douglas
County engineer, said Friday he had doubts about how the city and county could get the money even if the proposition was enacted in a state law that the county comes to $1.8 million, Sanderson said.
Sanderson said there was some controversy concerning who should supervise construction of the parkway. Dole's bill has the Corps of Engineers supervising. Other parties think the Federal Highway Administration, working through the Kansas Highway Commission, would be able to supervise better, Sanderson said.

Justice Says Judiciary Imperfect
The Kansas judicial system is ripe for improvement, according to Harold Fatzer, Chief Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court. Fatzer spoke to law students and faculty Friday at a forum at the University of Kansas School of Law.
The most serious problems facing the judicial system, Fatzer said, were unreasonable delays in adjudicating cases, sharp rises in the cost of litigation and instances of unethical conduct. Of these cases, a study by the U.S. Department of unethical conduct. An article that recently appeared in U.S. News and World Report said the “levels of competence” trial lawyers are being questioned on a nationalwide basis. He said the article also noted that opinion polls indicated that confidence in lawyers was “at a low point.”
PARALLELING THIS CODE of ethics for attorneys, Fatzer said, was the code of conduct for judges adopted last year. He said the code was formulated by a committee that was appointed in May 1973 by the Kansas Supreme Court
Concurrent with this code, an 11-member Judicial Qualifications Commission was formed, Fatzer said, to consider complaints of improper judicial conduct. Although the commission had received a few complaints, he said all of these concerned improper conduct.
To fight unethical conduct, Falter said, it is necessary to establish concrete standards of conduct for lawyers and judges. He noted that the Kansas Supreme Court had adopted a new code of ethics in 1970. He said this law violated the maximum standards of conduct for attorneys.
Another facet of judicial improvement,
Funding Sought For Art Center
A request for $21,000 to fund a community culture and arts center in Lawrence will be presented May 3 to the Kansas Cultural Arts Association for representatives from the Lawrence Art Guild.
Marlyn Brown, guild president, said the proposed center would be placed in the old public library building at 9th and Vermont streets. The center would include comedy theatre, art exhibits by local artists, dance and music rectucles and crafts exhibits.
The Kansas Cultural Arts Committee administrates federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts for state and local development of the fine arts.
Fazer said, is the Judicial Article Amendment to the Kansas Constitution which will be voted on in November. He said the court's decision would set such as non-partisan selection of judges and a raise in salary for judges since they are no longer required to engage in outside business investments.
Fatzer said "politics and judges don't mix." The popular selection of judges, he said, was unsatisfactory compared to the more responsible, non-partisan group.
which provides for mandatory retirement and proper removal procedures.
Court unification was another proposal being considered as part of a study of the Kansas court system, he said. Unification would mean having three courts, leaving one system of trial courts. Fazer said unification also would mean the inauguration of an inmediate appellate court. The result would be a reduction in the number of civil cases and a basinning of the judicial process.
