Docking Won't Answer Speculative Stories
Gov. Robert Docking declined yesterday requests by newsmen to discuss with him reports he has decided against seeking political office this year.
His press secretary, James Shaffer, issued a tense two-sentence statement saying Docking will make no "official response" to the "speculative stories" Shaffer said Docking would announce his political plans Saturday night at the Kansas Democrat's annual Washington Day dinner in Topeka. Informed sources reconfirmed Docking has told friends, political associates and his staff that he plans to retire from candidate politics.
British Pollsters Predicting Close Election
Public and private pollsters forecast a photo finish between Laborists and the ruling Conservatives in Britain's general elections today as the candidates face off in the polls.
But most signs last night also suggested a big-time Liberal revival in the voting. If liberal Leader Jeremy Thorpe's center party wins a substantial number of seats in the 635 member house of Commons, it would change the face of British politics, dominated for nearly a half century by Conservatives.
The crisis-ridden campaign has seen Prime Minister Edward Heath and Labor leader Harold Wilson each claiming to be the man to halt the nation's slide toward bankruptcy and conflict.
Calley Freed on $1,000 Bail Pending Appeal
LI. William L. Calley Jr., the only man convicted for the massacre of Vietnam victims in Alabama, was released from custody yesterday by a judge on Monday.
Calley signed an order allowing him to be released without paying the £1,000 bill set by U.S. District Court Judge J. Robert Elliott.
His appeal is now before Army Secretary Howard W. Callaway, who recently met with military attorneys following the yesterday.
After Callaway rules on Calley's appeal of his 20-year sentence, Nixon has said he will give the case a final review.

redress, such as in a dispute with the BIA, they often were told that courts had no jurisdiction because of Indians' warship status and they were thereby deprived of the process.
the government, Forer said, always has maintained that AIM was a minority group and not representative of Indian people. The tribe's president said that the Oglala Sioux Tribe on Pine Ridge Reservation on Feb. 7 in the face of a 10-count federal indictment, campaigning in absentee and BIA resistance proves that AIM is a strong force among American tribes.
reep of Birds said he believed in AIM when it was stirring up a lot of awareness because it was stirring up a lot of awareness.
"AM LEADERS are really going out on a limb to do all this," he said. "If they are convicted and put in prison, I don't know who is going to pick up the leadership."
Both García and Forer said they didn'tink jailing of AIM leaders would squish the team.
The federal policy toward Indians often has resulted in the break-up of communal
"These people feel their very existence is being threatened, and the federal government is not addressing itself to the problem," Forer said.
"Taking Indians off the land breaks up their cohesive habit. If you take Indians away from their land, they lose their identity," Garcia said.
Most Americans think Indians want to leave the harsh reservation life, she said, but she's not sure.
"Tribes are trying to build up reservations. They are trying to safeguard what they have now. They want their land and their resources," she said.
Forer said the leasing issue on Sioux and other reservations was very important. BIA manipulation of tribal governments secured leases for non-Indians while providing marginal payment to Indian owners for use of the land.
Heap of Birds said, "White men can cure their grandparents, but they are still living on the streets."
"We're not asking for the land back, but we are asking the white man to think about it in the hope they will see they have a debt and be able to work from here still profiling from the initial takeover."
Forer said the failure of Indian people to safeguard tribal governments from federal officials made it impossible for them to protect their lands from encroachment.
"The big issue is resources, and the energy crisis makes it even more im-
The Indian problem, as exemplified by the Wounded Knee occupation and trial, boils down to three questions, according to Forer. Can we really have a pluralistic society? What kind of moral responsibility can be expected from the government in light of its Indian treaty violations? How secure are the rights of all Americans?

McGovern Talks to Student Lobby
Among the 80 students at the conference were representatives from Emporia State College, Washburn University and Kansas State University.
The students, representing more than 40 states, visited about three-fourths of the members of Congress during their stay, and met with NSI, legislative director刘邦 Olson Lyon.
They lobbied for the abolition of the needs test for students from families whose incomes were less than $20,000 a year, for an increase in work-study money, for low or no tuition at public two- and four-year colleges, for student stand-by fees on planes, buses and trains and against a different minimum wage for young people.
AAUP, American Association of University Professors, will meet at 7:30 tonight in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union, State Sen. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence; State Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence; State Rep. Robert Koch, R-Lawrence; and State Rep. John H. Vogel, R-Lawrence, will talk on current legislative action.

Most of the delegates were neatly dressed. The majority of the men wore coats and ties, and dresses were common for the women. Yet it wasn't a conservative gathering, either. McGovern was roundly applauded when hair on the man was messed in evidence.

The money crunch on campus is as hot an issue today as the war was two years ago, when it was a major problem.
Rodbell admitted that the delegates probably were better off economically than students in general, but he said that the representatives nevertheless had chosen to work on issues that affected low-income students.
He said the issues students had chosen reflected a shift in student values.
The four student witnesses suggested several changes in the national program of accreditation.
Those students are transient, he said. They can become an effective political force both nationally and on the state level by working with a continuing staff. The lobby represents 2.1 million students, about one-fifth of American college students.
The testimony before the special subcommittee on education yesterday was
Most of the students' suggestions were aimed at improving the operations of existing financial aid programs rather than suggesting new expenditures.
The hearing was officially conducted as part of a continuing reappraisal of a student financial aid by the subcommittee, but actually appeared to be more of an effort by subcommittee chairman James O'Hara, D-Mich., to encourage the lobby's work.
Besides financial aid, the conference considered veteran needs, sex discrimination and the student press in its workshops.
M. Gevern told about 400 students yesterday afternoon not to stay away from school.
He said that his loss in the 1972 presidential campaign might result in a victory for the country, because Watergate led to a civil war and sparted fundamental reforms.
"The only place now for the politics of Watergate is in the looser's column," he added.
He cited the disclosure of campaign and personal financing by political candidates and limits on campaign contributions as fundamental reform in the political process.
