Senate Limits Debate on Campaign Reform
The Senate voted yesterday to limit further debate on a campaign reform bill, thus clearing the way for its passage.
The vote on putting the Senate's antifibrillar rule into effect was 64 to 30, or one more than the number required. Each senator's speaking time on the floor was limited to 15 minutes.
Majority leader Mikael Mandell, D-Mont., said he hoped this would make it possible for the Senate to complete a action on the bill today.
Taxpavers Victimized, IRS Union Chief Says
Taxpayers can be victimized by an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) quota system that rewards agents for harshness and penalizes them for leniency, Vincent L. Connery, head of IRS employees union, said yesterday in Washington, D.C.
Connery, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said invitations to meet tax payer needs and ease discontent have been announced by the Treasury Department.
Revenue officers often were forced by management to initiate seizure proceedings against a taxpayer rather than permit him to enter into an installment payment arrangement, he said, because of the time-consuming paperwork and legwork involved in administering part-payment plans.

The President's plane flew over the area first, then Nixon walked and drove slowly through Xenia, a southwestern Ohio town of 25,000 where 32 homes were destroyed.
En route back to Washington, he told federal emergency officials that he wanted top priority attention to getting people of evacuation centers in Xenia to attend.
Russian Chess Player Says Fischer's Best
Anatoly Karpov, Russia's best young chess player, said yesterday that he expected Robb Fischer to retain the world championship next year.
Many Russians think Karpov will beat Fischer's former challenger, Boris Spassky, in this week's semifinal match on to challenge Fischer at the 2016 US Open.
Karpov was quoted in the newspaper Trud as saying, "I think Fischer will remain world champion at least until 1978."
After that Karpov expects age and fatigue to take their toll on Fischer.
City Commission Votes Against Rezoning Bids
The Lawrence City Commission last night denied requests for commercial rezoning in the area of 5th Street for two tracts of land across Wisconsin and Minnesota streets.
The Commission voted unanimously to deny a change in zoning from multi-family to general commercial use of four lots on the east side, south from the intersection of 9th Street.
The Commission defeated the other request, which would have changed the zoning of eight lots between Wisconsin and Minnesota from limited to general commercial use, by a vote of only 3-2. Commissions Fred Pierce and John Erikkisson dissented.
The vote followed a report by Dick McClanathan, county planning director, who noted that petitions had been signed opposing the $16 million, 28 percent of the residents in the areas

"S.E.S. 17 certainly binds us, kind of cramps us," Tedde Tasheff, Wichita freshman and chairman of the Communications Committee, said.
However, certain groups should be guaranteed funding, Tashasf said, so they will be able to invest in their projects.
Tasheff said the groups that received automatic allocations needed to be reconsidered each year to make sure they are changing priorities of the students.
Ed Rolfs, Junction City sophomore and member of the University Senate Executive Committee, will help put continuity into the system to prevent hawaiward changes by an inexperienced
Rolfs said that although the automatic allocations meant that a former senate could influence distribution of a future budget, they prevented "the passions of the moment from ruling the senate's decision at budget time."
Rolls, former senator parliamentarian,
said S. R. 17 could be amended this week
on the basis of a new law.
"I predict there will be a couple of motions to alter S.S.E. 17," Bill Webster, Carthage, Mo., junior and co-chairman of the Culture Committee, said.
Webster's committee wants to delete the automatic allocation for the International Film Series. It has presented two budgets to the senate—one including the amount prescribed for the film series and another recommending no funds for the series.
The series was originally organized to show films to black and foreign students when theaters wouldn't admit them, Webster said.
Applicants for the reoning were B. A. Green Construction Co., which sought to use the lots for construction of a warehouse for individuals to store miscellaneous items, and Huxtable & Associates, which requested the rezoning of the four lots for construction of an office, sheet metal shop and storage area.
He also said that the reannounces would depart from provisions of the committee.
Richard Zinn, attorney for the applicants, told the commissioners that it wouldn't be in the interest of the city to leave the two pockets of land unused. He said there had been no indication that anyone was involved in raising the land for residential development.
However, residents of the area who appeared at the meeting to voice opposition to the plan would be hard to land for residential development, which they preferred, might be encouraged if the City Commission took a positive stand against the "enereachment" of commercial housing.
In other action the Commission.
—Authorized the construction of sidewalks along the south side of 23rd street in connection with the city's project to enhance the sidewalk side. The costs of the sidewalks will be assessed against adjacent property owners at a rate not to exceed $3.5 per foot of sidewalk frontage. Owners have 20 days to submit their application for distance in which to file a protest petition.
